Just a normal day traveling through the 'verse on Serenity, then Mal finds that his ship has been invaded by talking technicolor ponies, and the crew didn't tell him until 10 minutes after.

With two fugitives on board and bills to pay Captain Dash starts looking for work, but it isn't long before a job finds her. A few thefts and smuggling are nothing new to the crew, and gemstones don't even take up much room. With the size of the payout being offered, how could Dash say no? Only, the first gem they were supposed to pick up is missing. Why can't things ever be easy?

They say that Equestria was a paradise. I don't know if that's true, but I wanna believe it. There sure ain't one in this piece of the 'Verse. It's tough to get by these days with lawkeepers looking for an excuse to crack down, and the Jesters prowling around the edges of civilized space. Still, a mare has to make a livin' somehow. –Rainbow Dash, Captain of Tranquility
