A sequel of sorts to Sacrifices. After years of merciless mocking from Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon over absences, Scootaloo's mother finally makes it to Family Appreciation Day.

Yes, it's my last Scootaloo heavy fic. This is my version of her backstory. This is for those military bronies and pegasisters who are a long way from home protecting their families. Now with a new final, final chapter.

While recovering from a nasty apple tree related incidedent, a pegasus from out of town is grounded in Ponyville. Apologies, I'm terrible at writing descriptions.

Also, this is now much more of a AU now that I've seen season 4.
