Synopsis
The ponies within Ponyville had enough trouble with the horrid onslaught of vines infecting, and spreading all over the place. What if, thanks to some off-screen shenanigans by a particular Draconequus, the vines didn't just spread to Ponyville, but also to the grand fountain of Rose Quartz! And what a time for that: the grand gems themselves need it the most. Just how much trouble will both worlds end up in, especially when one world is connected to another thanks to a force beyond them both? Will there be friends, foes, or both? Let's see where this ride will go. Many songs, adventure, and silliness to come!
Ponies and Gems unite!
The season starts off during the events of "Princess Twilight Sparkle PT2" (MLP Season 4 episode 2), and "An Indirect Kiss" (SU Season 1A episode 24). Much of the series follows the events of both Steven Universe S1-B and My Little Pony S4. Two subplots play out during this season:
- The first subplot involved Rainbow Dash going with Peridot as the Gem was maintaining Earth and studying it. Rainbow stayed with her as Fluttershy had to keep the situation quiet. This subplot lasted from "The Warp Zone" to "Slice of Maud Pie" upon Rainbow's return.
- The secondary subplot began in "Sombra Del Diablo", in which Sombra returns and gave Steven Universe Corruption, him planning to take over Homeworld. This subplot lasted until the season finale, upon Sombra's defeat.
The first season spans out over the course of one summer (three months).
