Since their discovery generations ago the Smokey Mountains of eastern Tenneighsee have been the exclusive domain of the Hooffields and the McColts. It's not that either clan bans outsiders from entering their valley, it's just that very few ponies are crazy enough to volunteer to become collateral damage in the war between the two clans.
Each successive generation has found it just a little bit harder to find a special somepony as a result. And then one fine spring day Daisy May McColt found her true love in Gaitlinburg...
...Too bad he's a Hooffield.

Thank you!
Oh, the irony!
Okay, that was funny.
This has got to be the saddest happy ending I've ever read at least to my knowledge. There may have been sadder happy endings that I just can't remember.

Thank you for the favorite! I like to think they reestablished contact with their families after Twilight & Fluttershy's visit ended the hostilities between them.

Thank you!
Sweet, sad, and still quite cute. This story is fine stuff and I'd love to see a continuation, even if the ending is clear.
