Eight years is a long time, but not nearly long enough to heal and forget when you've been let down by the only pony that mattered to you.

Water Lily is only eight years old, and when your that little, it's hard to understand why your mother lock herself in her room and cry endlessly, especially if it is because of a father you never met.
