Meet Corporal Stitch. He's a young stallion from Trottingham that enlisted for the Union Medical Corps when he was 20. He served two years and six tours of duty as a combat medic, but was then discharged from the Union due to a recent declaration of war on Equestria. The heartbroken stallion packs his things and moves to Ponyville. When he arrives, however, he wallows into a world of hate, shame, and prejudice. Everypony treated him like nothing for what he did, what he was. But one courteous filly takes him in, and they become close friends. However, the mare starts developing more sentimental feelings for Stitch, but does the stallion feel the same?
