After reading a flyer saying that the circus is coming to Ponyville a certain young filly fills with excitement. She had never been to the circus before, and now with the chance she begs her big sister to take her. However, she is rejected due to the severe amount of work that must be done the following day. In a mixture of sadness and frustration she tries to get to sleep, but lights out in the woods catch her eyes, beckoning her. She creeps out from her home and trots to the circus. She merely wishes to be there just for a few moments to satisfy her boiling curiosity, then she will return home. At least, that is what she kept telling herself. Now, she just might never get the chance to go back home.
