Blazing "Blaze" Glory is a busy stallion. He's a single father who works early hours dealing with bruised egos and late hours with bruised bodies. When his daughter gets her cutie mark in a near death situation, Blaze forces himself and by extension, his subordinates, to work at such a grueling rate that his employers force him to take a vacation in order to cool off. Learning that they will have two weeks to spend together, Fluttershy wishes to bond with her busy body father. Deciding to make her father breakfast in bed for the first day, Fluttershy notices a dusty old maroon beret hiding in the pantry. Figuring that it must have belonged to her father, the filly puts it on, intending on returning it. Little does she know that the beret would bring forth the story of her father's life.
