Our heroes (Famosity, Quill Weave, Show Off and Snap Shot) have been sent to aid the troops on the Eastern border of Equestria. While the thick mud threatens to drag down their spirits, Quill's hopes are buoyed by the thought of finally being with his marefriend again. But when the eager lieutenant begins to go stir crazy for the love of his girl, his actions put the lives of his friends in jeopardy.

Note: This is not based on the book/movie 'Saving Private Ryan'. This is an original work.

Warning: OC heavy. Also has companion stories and prequels; they aren't required to understand the story, but they may help in explaining the circumstances. See the author's blog for complete list.
