After being rescued and semi raised by Rainbow Dash, one day Scootaloo suffers a tragic event, costing her one of her greatest joys in life. Make sure to read all author's notes. Also until the story plot gap is bridged please plan on more chapters before Chapter X which will be numbered when I get to it in the timeline.

On hiatus until I finish up other stories. Definitely not cancelled.

A/N: Cover art is not mine
A/N: Sequel: A Different Kind of Reunion

This will be a short story, around the 2000-3000 word range (edit: I lied, this will hit the 10k word mark and possibly on up to 15k as I didn't expect to do this much writing for the amount of plot I had planned in my head).

Derpy has been deemed an unfit mother, due to her mental condition, and has a real chance of losing custody of her only foal. Before that day comes though Derpy remembers how Dinky came to be, how her only source of pride and joy is tied to such a painful memory, and all of the time spent raising Dinky.

I'm writing this story in honor of a friend of mine who went through a very similar situation.
