Ever since her return from the moon and the removal of Nightmare's influence, Princess Luna has been looking for ways to improve her image in the eyes of a public who know nothing about her other than what they've heard in legends passed down through the generations.

Eager to show her subjects that she is a changed mare, she heads into the centre of Canterlot to do something unprecedented. For the first time in history, the ponies of Equestria will get the chance to hug a Princess.

That is, if she can find anypony willing to take her up on the offer...
