After a brief silence, a portal opened up and then saw, similar on how Sweetie Belle came to Ponyville 20 years ago as Twilight and her friends came out of it falling.

Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy successfully catch Twilight from falling but the other were plunging to their deaths. Twilight acted fast and created a magic bubble to soften their landing, but only ending up crashing to Sweetie Belle, Flitter Flutter and Twinkle Wish.

Sweetie Belle somehow revolted on this Brights Brightly, the mansion's head butler came and overheard their conversation. The white unicorn is still mad at this while Brights Brightly tries to calm her down and then went to her room as Twilight is worried at her.

Upstairs on her Room, Sweetie Belle is worried about who she is after hearing it from the Mayor and the Mane 6. She then asked Twinkle Wish if she's hiding something big from her. But Twinkle Wish didn't say about it and was concerned about her safety, being targeted by the Stratadons. Sweetie Belle became mad and sad on how she was treated as a bird in gilded cage after 5 years and how her friends died on that time. At the same time, her magic starting to surge around the room from her anger and despair.

They were waiting for their tea as they discuss about the World of Symponia and how similar this world is to theirs, also wondering about Sweetie Belle.

Sweetie Belle got angry and left the group while Twinkle Wish followed her. The Mane 6 decided to split up and look for clues in the whole town while looking for Sweetie Belle.
 * The Search Begins

Sweetie Belle is angry on what the Mayor said to her back then while Twinkle Wish is tagging along. She told the star to leave but she didn't as she is her legal guardian. As the two argue with each other,Twinkle Wish reminded her that Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash, Scootaloo, Cheerilee, Starsong and Toola-Roola did their best to protect Sweetie Bell from the Stratadon even if they give up their lives one by one to protect her and Ponyville.
 * Meeting Lavender Locket

As this reminded her, Twinkle Wish asked if she can sing that song her friends sang years ago. She agrees and sang in the empty stage where some musical events were held, until they found out a young Unicorn filly is watching them. She introduced herself as Lavender Locket, the younger sister of Rhapsody Ribbons and explained her story on why she ran away. Sweetie was saddened on the story and decided that she showed her around to Ponyville to make her happy.

However a strange mint green pony carrying boxes filled with cupcakes accidentally bumped over them and the box landed onto Rarity's Mane, messing it up with cake frosting
 * Meeting Minty and Amberlocks

The pony apologized on what happened while Pinkie Pie licked the icing off Rarity and liked the cupcakes themselves. The strange pony introduced herself as Minty, an employer of the Bright N’ Shine Sweet Shoppe. Due to Rarity's mane, Minty took both Ponies to the Celebration Salon to get her cleaned up while discussing about the Symphony Treasures. She recognized Sweetie Belle but she is in denial on this as they were only a mares tale until they arrived at the Salon.

Inside, they were greeted by Amberlocks, the owner of the Celebration Salon and the older sister of the this world's Rainbow Dash. Both ponies were surprised on this one while Amberlocks was more surpised to see Pinkie Pie and a messed up Rarity. Amberlocks offered Rarity some free service on the salon, in which she took her to the showers. With Minty confused, Pinkie Pie explains everything.

Twilight Sparkle then went to the Ponyville Community Library to do her own research about the Symphony Treasures as she remember the place is in the same spot as her current home. As she began her own investigation, she learned more about each Symphony Treasure and something happened to them 1000 years ago after the War of Tambelon.

Canon Changes
The Core 7 Universe will have a major canonity change in the story being described to have a more grim in nature as opposed to the usual light-hearted nature to fit with the FiM fanfic. It will also connect some lose plot holes from all G3.5 specials, including the direct-to-video special My Little Pony: Twinkle Wish Adventure and the Newborn Cuties shorts on how Twinkle Wish came and how Sweetie Belle came to Ponyville through two rainbows. It is also explained how the G3.5 verse is described in a much darker style and tone, as opposed to the sugary but colorful style present in that Generation.

Originally all the Core 7 Ponies were planned to be in the story since the early draft. But G3.5 Sweetie Belle is the only Core 7 Member to have the spotlight in the story while the others were considered dead before the story starts and will be mentioned in the later chapters. G3.5 Sweetie Belle will also have a much mature nature as opposed to her childish one as she will be described as an grown up mare. Flitter Flutter will become her legal Guardian in the story while some ponies from the Generation 3 will also play a major role.

The main enemy in the story will be from the first My Little Pony Generation, with Grogar being the Big Bad. Also, certain villains from Friendship is Magic will make their appearance in the future chapters.
