Sunny Breeze is a seemingly ordinary stallion who lives alone in Ponyville. He just goes to work and whiles away his days alone in his apartment. This all changes when Rainbow Dash suddenly shows up at his doorstep one night and demands that he go with her to the Spring Equinox festival. Things begin to snowball quickly. HilarityEnsues. It quickly becomes apparent that not all is well with Sunny Breeze. Not everything is as it seems, however. There's more going on in Rainbow Dash's mind than GiveGeeksAChance. And even Sunny Breeze himself harbors dark secrets and HiddenDepths.
The story is currently ongoing. It typically updates once every two weeks. Between updates, the author often releases side stories.
Warning: Spoilers are present and unmarked.
