After the Cutie Mark Crusaders learned their lesson about gossiping, Gabby Gums officially retired from the newspaper business...or so the ponies of the town thought. One year after the original Gabby Gums article, a new newspaper begins appearing on every corner of Ponyville titled "The New Gabby Gums" However, the title of the paper is misleading as Gabby Gums is up to her usual tricks. Did the Cutie Mark Crusaders forget the lesson that they had learned and brought back Gabby Gums in a new effort to get their Cutie Marks, or is something more sinister going on instead?
