This story is dedicated to Kkat, my inspiration to have me write fan fics in the first place. If it wasn't for her and her brilliant masterpiece that was Fallout: Equestria I never would've wrote myself. I cannot thank her enough for writing such a superb story that to this day effects my writing style. Consider this the greatest thank you I can give.
Note: there will be an appearance of a character from another fan fic in this story. I want to remind everypony that this appearance is to be considered non canon in that story. This is simply how I imagine the scene with this character.
