Apogee's mom isn't in the best place, but maybe some time on the beach can improve that. While enjoying some time on the surf and in the sun, Apogee and her cute new friend decide to stop for ice cream. Now they've lost sight of their moms. But while their mothers are away, what will they have to say?

A quick story set in the universe of Delta Vee's Junkyard. This particular story is based on image #1920327 on Derpibooru. This story was written with Shino's permission. Thank you! The cover art also belongs to him and was cropped to exclude dialogue.

This story is a sequel to Any Landing You Can Walk Away From...

Delta had a particularly rough winter holiday.

Not that they weren't always rough, what with all the emphasis on family, happy-times, and love... while she spent most of her holidays bar-diving and drowning her loneliness in booze... but this year was especially bad.

Things had seemed to be getting better for her - she was connecting more with her daughter, was starting to cut back on her drinking (admittedly, only a little... but still!)... and then the dreaded day had arrived and left her feeling alone, unloved, depressed... devastated.

Dragging herself out of bed on New Year's Eve a few days later, she prepared for more of the same...

But perhaps a certain yellow filly can turn things around for Delta, and help her to start the New Year on a high note?

Yup!

Following a heated argument with her father Jet Stream, Apogee has snuck out at night to go searching for a pony she hasn't seen in years, and only remembers from stories and photos: her mother, Delta Vee.

How will Delta react to seeing her daughter for the first time in years? How will Jet Stream cope with the first ever real argument he had with his little filly? And how will Apogee handle the pure, unfiltered truth about her mother?

Just like Savior, Family Photo, Anywhere But Here, Black Honey and Fast Car, this story is entirely based on Shinodage's blog telling the story of Delta Vee and her family. As always, all credit for the characters and the cover goes to Shino.
