Herding was not common in Equestria, so Rainbow Dash was understandably surprised when she is invited to join a herd with her closest friends completely out of the blue. She did love her friends, but why does it feel like what she wants and what they want are two very different things.

The pegasi in Zephyr Heights have not yet learnt of the magic of not hating everypony different, Sunny wants to fix that. However Pipp Petals sees that it is a gigantic Public Relations nightmare, so she decides to step up and fix it. Also Pipp and her family are wanted criminals, so it'd be good to sort that out as well.
