The life of a single parent is riddled with mistakes. It is filled with wishes and hopes and dreams for your child, and you try to give them everything they need. But sometimes you can't give them what they need most, and how you handle that makes an impression. Firelight knows the power of mistakes, but he also knows the power of forgiveness.

Set before, during, and after the events of "The Parent Map".

Inspired by the song of the same name by Miranda Lambert.

Unable to stop Starlight Glimmer's plan to stop the Sonic Rainboom, Twilight Sparkle and Spike pleaded desperately for her to stand down. In canon, Starlight relented at the last second and consequently reformed.

But what would have happened if Starlight gave a different reaction to Twilight's friendship offer and hoof?

Spoiler alert: it ended with one of them in roaring laughter.

Soon after Starlight and Sunburst's map mission to Sire's Hollow, Sunburst gets a surprise visit from Firelight, who wants to know when and how he and Starlight reunited after being out of contact for over a decade. However, there might be more to Firelight's visit than initially assumed.

Sunburst got the ring, he's got the girl, all he needs is her father's blessing.

But Firelight, the overprotective, overbearing parent that he is, won't give it up without a (metaphorical) fight.

Starlight and Trixie have just gotten back from a very brief roadtrip to Saddle Arabia that didn't pan out. The trip may have been a bust, but their friendship still stands.

However, the two unicorns soon find themselves confronting an unexpected visitor, Starlight's father, Firelight. He's come to Ponyville to see his daughter, largely because she hasn't visited him in months.

For Trixie, this is the first time the magician has ever encountered any family of Starlight's. But Starlight worries that her father might unintentionally embarrass her in front of her friend. Are her fears justified?

And what will Trixie think of her best friend's father's... unusual behavior?
