“Ya got her Mane y’know…”

*“THAT’S IT?!” Calamity’s father swooped past to block the door. “Ain’t ya got nothin’ t say fer yerself, ya-”

Calamity cut him off before he could find more colorfully derogatory language to spew. “Ey-nope.” Then, with a second thought, he added, “Ah’m sorry mom died. Ah’d say somethin’ ‘bout how badly ya dealt with it, but Ah reckon ya already know.”*

My best friend pushed past his father and opened the door.

*“Ya got her mane, y’know,” his father said softly, letting his traitorous son past. “Ah really liked her mane.”

Calamity spread his wings and flew away, saying nothing.*

So this was an idea that Velveteen-Vixen pitched to me a couple of months ago, near the end of FoE when Calamity meets his dad face to face. I was feeling quite un-creative to make a proper background, but in the end I reckoned this puts the focus more on the characters which is what I probably preferred.

Now I’m positive there are things I’ve missed/could’ve added in like battle scars, and if I recall correctly Calamity had given Littlepip his prized hat. But re-reading the sections I needed to confirm what I haven’t done nearly had me in tears again… This story guys… Just.. Gets me so emotional!

Sweating a little…
