An Amulet of Shades side story, Pinkie's Apiecalypse shows just what kind of shenanigans are going on while in Manehattan somepony is arriving and starting to make waves. Don't worry. The Mane Six will hear about her soon enough, but for now? It's just another day in Ponyville! Twilight sets her heart on a new discovery, pleading with her dragon assistant to be her research assistant once more. It... uh, backfires. As for Pinkie, is she just off her rocker, or does she actually have a plan for the whole pie thing? And will Applejack and Sugarcube corner (or the whole of Ponyville) survive?
