On a rainy night years ago, tragedy strikes the heart of a family.
Part of the Life in Ponyville series

Glacier grew up in a large family, consisting of his loving parents, Storm and Snowflake and nine younger siblings: Blizzard, Icey, Avalanche, Precipip, twins Cumulus Cloud and Stratus Cloud, Flurry and Snowball. All he's ever known is his friends, the love of his family and what's it like to live in the small and happy town of Ponyville.

Moon Glow was an only child. She had everything she needed, living a life of luxury in her apartment home in Manehatten with her loving parents. That is, until late one night when she was seven years old, she and her mother received the news that her father, successful business pony Constellation von Abastor, was killed in an attempted robbery.

A year later, wanting to get away from the heartache Manehatten now held for her, Moon’s mother, Starry Night, moves to her hometown of Ponyville to begin a new chapter in life with her only daughter.

Soon after, Moon Glow meets then nine year old Glacier and the two quickly build a strong friendship. Nine years later, their friendship is stronger than ever, the two becoming even closer after the spring dance at school. Finally Glacier admits his growing feelings for his unicorn friend and is overjoyed when he finds out that Moon returns the feelings, only to become downtrodden because she doesn’t want to jump into a full blown relationship.

Meanwhile, even 10 years later, the tragic death of her husband still eats away at Starry Night’s heart. No matter how much she tries, she cannot remove the horrible memory of when she learned of her husband’s death. For reasons unknown to her, she feels guilty, as if it were she who did the evil deed. Can she move on from the past? Or will it slowly consume her?
