Sunny hasn't talked about her father with her new friends. Her old friends, Hitch and Sprout, are the only ones who know about what happened to him.
But when Sunny doesn't show up for a meeting with her new friends one day, Izzy, Zipp and Pipp learn why as Hitch tells them about Argyle. He also reveals what happened to him and how it's impacted Sunny.
Armed with this new knowledge, the three mares decide there's only one course of action to take: They'll all visit Argyle's grave to honor his legacy, and to be there for Sunny as she grieves.

Very well written. You’ve managed to make my tears roll freely and that’s a good thing
That's always been a theory what happened to Sunny's mother
Oh man this was a pretty sad and very sweet story so apparently it was the day that sunny is going to visit her father Argyle but little does she knows that izzy and the others are in town and they were looking for her but instead they found hitch their other friend they ask him where is sunny and hitch was very hesitant to not say anything but they wanted to know what's going on so he told him the truth about sunny and what happened to her father they were pretty in shock hearing that Sunny has basically no parents at all growing up and the others were pretty sad for what happened so they wanted to pay respect to Sunny's father meanwhile at the graveyard Sunny was there visiting her father until her friends showed up and they only knew that her father was gone find the cause of death that he was very sick for a long time and it's really been really hard for her but she knows that at least he's at peace even if it's not with her but she knows that he will always be there in spirit and now her friends paid respect to him and hitch join in and say his piece as well this was a pretty good story and a very sad one keep up the good work
What happened to Argyle is loosely based on the fic Hitch's Heart, it's more or less my headcanon for why Argyle isn't around anymore.
I did remember reading the story it was a pretty good one and very sad as well you did a good job as well
REALL appropriately emotional one-shot. Definitely liked the work that went into the exchanges, characterizations and future chapter set-up. Certainly appreciated the admission that learning how to use only recently returned magic IS pretty hard as well as understanding the girls' reactions to what happened to Sunny's father (especially Zipp and Pipp, who also lost their own father at a young age). And to be fair, Zipp and Pipp have different last names even though they are twin sisters and their mother only has one name (unless "Queen" was her actual given first name, which is possible, but unlikely). Definitely liked Sunny's new friends introducing themselves to Argyle's spirit.
Certainly looking forward to more of your work in general.
Should be labeled G5
The simplest explanation for this is that names in this world don’t work the way they do in our world.

Pretty much exactly this. Case in point: Twilight's parents. Also, there's Mrs. Cake's backstory of changing her name from Chiffon Swirl when her talent manifested. Name heredity might not have ever arisen in Equestria, or it might be preserved mostly within the nobility.
maybe Sunny’s mum and dad weren’t married and Argyle wasn’t there when she was born. Maybe Sunny took her mother’s last name, then maybe Argyle found her when her mother abandoned her.

Beautiful writing as always. Hi Argyle. I'm sorry we never got to see you more before you left
Pipp having seemingly no sentiment here is hilarious
Really do hope the show touches on sunny parents some more. Or at least the mother.
Happy 1st Anniversary!
