Plot summary[]
Jack Conner is a troubled teenager living with his alcoholic step-father in Manhattan, U.S.A. One night, he wishes on a star that he could have some proper friends. Meanwhile in Equestria, Rarity wishes that she could find someone to love and be loved back to. One night, Jack steals a priceless diamond from a gang during a robbery, but is caught. Suddenly, he is enveloped in a bright light and lands in Equestria. Although he is shocked at his new surroundings, Jack quickly steals an apple from an apple stand. Realizing how delicious it is, he goes for another, but is suddenly caught by Applejack; who is shocked at his appearance. He flees, and is able to outsmart Rainbow Dash when she gives chase. Bumping into Twilight Sparkle and Pinkie Pie while escaping, he eventually retreats into a forest, where he helps Fluttershy by freeing her hoof from a fallen tree branch. Retreating even further, he saves Rarity from falling to her death, but is caught and knocked out by the rest of the Mane 6.
When Jack comes too, he is tied to Twilight's sofa. Introductions are made, yet he shows hostility when Pinkie Pie tries to take a golden necklace from his pocket. After Applejack tells him that he must work at Sweet Apple Acres for stealing the apples, much to his chagrin, Rarity happily allows Jack to stay at her house, having gained a slight attraction towards him. However, by the next morning, she has changed his normal clothes into a formal suit, which he hates. This is due to him associating formality with stuck up, rich people.
Wrecking it later after doing some work for Applejack, Jack gets into a fight with Rarity as he storms off angrily; as he believed that she was trying to change him into something that he is not.
