This story is a sequel to Dashaloo Days and Scootabow Nights

Have you ever needed to be loved so bad that when you got it, it was painful? Scootaloo has! And when her mom shows back up from deployment for a bit of leave, her idol/big sister Dash faces new challenges with an intense internal conflict, compounded by her meddling friends, suddenly boiling over. Will she be overcome by the new barrage of gut wrenching emotions and insecurities? You bet she will! Will Ponyville still be standing after their spat? Will the barrage of anxiety on Scootaloo ever end as she's caught in the middle?

There is a village where everypony can be the same.

You may have read some nasty things about it. Rumors of stolen cutie marks and power-mad unicorns. Tall tales about forced smiles and frightened glances.

It's all lies. All except the part about us wanting to escape. That's true.

It's why we came here in the first place.
