When tragedy strikes, the hearts of the beloved are shattered. Tears are shed in mourning of the fallen.
But, as time does its part, most ponies begin to move on, as the memory of a lost friend becomes but a blur in the vast, continuous timeline that is life.
Most ponies move on with the help and support of their friends.
But what happens when the same friends that help a pony make it through the tragedy of losing a friend... a partner... vanish?
That pony remains caught in an unbreakable cycle.
Scared.
Sad.

Falling.

Scootaloo has always looked up to Rainbow Dash as her friend, her inspiration; Even her big sister.
But as tragedy comes to prove, everyone must eventually say goodbye to their idols at one time or another... sometimes unexpectedly... and carry on their loved one's legacy.

In this tragic tale, Scootaloo will realize that life is a precious gift that can be taken away in the blink of an eye... or in the flap of a wing.
