if they have any chance of surviving the convention.
Additionally, fans
can join in on the fun and celebrate the magic of friendship by
performing random acts of friendship inspired by the core cast of
characters from

“friend it forward.” Fans are invited to share their completed acts of
friendship via their social channels, tagging posts with

Twilight Sparkle and her trusted assistant Spike, who live in Ponyville
in the enchanted land of Equestria, along with her colorful pony friends
– honest Applejack, generous Rarity, kind
Fluttershy, loyal Rainbow Dash and fun-loving Pinkie Pie. Together,
they teach one another valuable lessons about the most powerful magic of
all – the magic of friendship.
