Raised as a high class colt, Dew Drop was always taught that any pony that was not of Pegasus decent was under-class, un-welcomed in society, un-wanted. His parents condemned any talk of these ponies, unless it were to insult them. Dew grew up in hateful house, quite alone.
When his parents agreed to enrol him into Flight School, Dew was elated to know he was attending. It was exciting and all so new to him. What was he going to learn? Who was he going to meet? He was nervous to meet colts and fillies his age; he had never had any friends or ponies to talk to in his life.
Until he met Fluttershy... and then she disappeared.

As night falls over Equestria, our gloomy cast reflects on their troubled lives and find happiness may not be so unreachable an outcome as they had previously thought.

Note: This story was written in the week following the airing of "May The Best Pet Win", and well before "Read It and Weep" was even known about. As such it haws since been overtaken by canon, but most folk tend to like it still so I will upload it here so I have a bit of a presence on FIMfiction beyond "lurker #347,921".

This story also includes "The Unrelated Epilogue" which is a mini-story based on a loose bit in the main one that I felt did not stand on its own, but that I wanted up nonetheless. It has Luna, but not RD or TS.
