Twilight Sparkle was never born...as a mare anyway. Instead, this story stars the young colt; Dusk Shine. A personal protege of Celestia, asocial bookworm, and (unknown to him) super-cute pretty boy.

When Celestia sends Dusk Shine to Ponyville, all he wants to do is prepare for Nightmare Moon's return. But when five certain mares each develop a massive crush on Dusk, he'll have more on his plate than Twilight ever did.....
