Unable to stop Starlight Glimmer's plan to stop the Sonic Rainboom, Twilight Sparkle and Spike pleaded desperately for her to stand down. In canon, Starlight relented at the last second and consequently reformed.

But what would have happened if Starlight gave a different reaction to Twilight's friendship offer and hoof?

Spoiler alert: it ended with one of them in roaring laughter.

Sunburst got the ring, he's got the girl, all he needs is her father's blessing.

But Firelight, the overprotective, overbearing parent that he is, won't give it up without a (metaphorical) fight.

_{Happy Father's Day to all the fathers out there! Don't be like the Firelight in this story and support your kids.}

After being told off by their children, Stellar Flare and Firelight discuss some hard truths and revelations from that conversation over tea together, and support one another through it.

This story is a sequel to Starry Darling

A day so special, it'll be just like the ones that came before. And the ones that'll come after.

The life of a single parent is riddled with mistakes. It is filled with wishes and hopes and dreams for your child, and you try to give them everything they need. But sometimes you can't give them what they need most, and how you handle that makes an impression. Firelight knows the power of mistakes, but he also knows the power of forgiveness.

Set before, during, and after the events of "The Parent Map".

Inspired by the song of the same name by Miranda Lambert.

“But that was then, and this is now./I tried so hard not to let you all down./It's an impossible weight,/So I'll just let you down now.” -Deep Sea Diver, 'Impossible Weight (feat. Sharon Van Etten)'

For spring break, Starlight Glimmer and Sunburst return back to Sire's Hollow to visit with their parents. Being their first trip back as a couple, the two are not looking forward to their parents talk about their relationship. However, both Stellar Flare and Firelight have an exciting announcement to share for when they arrive.

In a small town called Sire's Hollow, young unicorns go there to train every summer, like a magic summer camp.

Starlight Glimmer, born and raised there, meets a young unicorn name Sunburst on one of those summers. It's not quite love at first sight, but a bond is formed and a friendship is steadily cared for over the course of these summers. Sometimes, puppy love grows, maturing into something steady and true, if given the right care.

Starlight has quietly admired Sunset Shimmer's cousin ever since they were kids, but she’s having trouble finding the courage to tell him so.

It's a huge step they're taking, and it's going to be hard, and long, and exhausting. But it's going to be worth it in the end, to form a family with him, to be a mother—is like all the pieces of her life are finally falling into place and she's exactly where she needs to be.

Or, Sunburst and Starlight take the plunge and decide to start a family, through adoption.

Edit: added a bit more context into the story to make a certain aspect more obvious.

Soon after Starlight and Sunburst's map mission to Sire's Hollow, Sunburst gets a surprise visit from Firelight, who wants to know when and how he and Starlight reunited after being out of contact for over a decade. However, there might be more to Firelight's visit than initially assumed.
