History: A not-so-long time ago, in a land far, far away but only if you don't live on the North American continent, governed by censorship rules and family-friendly plotlines and fables, was a children's show called My Little Pony: Friendship is magic. Yes, it does happen to be based upon the popular Hasbro toy franchise, My Little Pony. And yes, it is about as cheesy as you might expect it to be.
With a bit of dry humor and pop culture references to keep the parents entertained, of course, but it's still made of lots and lots of cheese.
In this television show (which takes place in a fictional land called Equestria) lived a pony named Twilight Sparkle, a slightly uptight and bookish girl who craved nothing but knowledge. Stuck in her tower all day with no company save for her assistant Spike (a baby dragon) and her books on magic and learning, she shunned the friendship and companionship of the other ponies of Canterlot (the capital city of Equestria) in order to increase her knowledge of the world. One day, in the midst of her studies, she discovers a legend that details the story of Princess Celestia (the mare of the day and the current ruler of Equestria) and her sister, Princess Luna (the mare of the night). Apparently, forever and a day ago, Celestia and Luna used to rule Equestria together. But Poor Luna got so jealous that everyone slept at night and didn't appreciate her the same way that they appreciated Celestia that she went nutso and tried to enshroud the world in darkness. The evil in her heart transformed her from Princess Luna to Nightmare Moon. Instead of talking out their problems like normal siblings would do, Celestia trapped her poor sister in the moon for like 1000 years or so. What a bitch.
Anyway, Twilight comes across this story in one of her books, and-- GASP. The story also predicts that Nightmare Moon will return on the longest day in Equestria. That just so happens to take place on a certain day far too close in the future for Twilight's liking, so she writes her teacher (Princess Celestia) informing her of the danger. Instead of... y'know, taking this danger seriously, Celestia sends Twilight to a small backwater town called Ponyville to make friends. Because making friends in the face of danger is totally what you do.
It all makes sense in the end, I promise.
Anyway, Twilight goes to Ponyville in an attempt to study friendship, where she meets five ponies by the names of Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, and Fluttershy. They all try to be nice to her and befriend her, but Twilight is soooo frustrated that NO ONE IS DOING ANYTHING ABOUT THE POTENTIAL END OF THE WORLD, that she doesn't put her heart into it. An lo and behold... while she is in Ponyville, the prophecy comes true and Nightmare Moon returns. Equestria is shrouded in darkness and Princess Celestia disappears and NO ONE KNOWS WHAT TO DO.
