It has been almost a month that Roseluck visited for the first time. It was not the last time that she visited infact it seemed like she was into Shade's father. Sometimes she would come over and eat dinner, sometimes he goes over for a long period of time. its not like he does not know what colts and mares did when they were alone, his father was a great teacher even if it was an awkward subject.

It was infact the total opposite he was just glad to have a friend outside of work, sure it was nice for him to hang around with Bigmac but that was work Bigmac had a family to take care of, so before he met Rose Shade's father was a pretty sad person but he could not, not for his son because one pony dead is bad but two parents dead is even worst. he needed a friend and Roseluck was there for him when he needed her the most. Sure she got wierd looks and eventualy got shunt but Shade's father was the nicest pony she ever met.

After another month Shade feelt like he never got to see his father anymore he was spending most of his evenings with Roseluck. He thought that she was taking his father from him, most of his evening classes were being canceled because his father was "To busy." to do it. He thought that his dad liked Roseluck more than he liked Sade and he was going to see who we liked best.

As Shade waited around for his father to come home he decided to take a little nap, after all frustration can make you very tired. As he sat there he could not help but feel selfish forcing his father to choose between two people that he loves very much, his son that he lived with his whole life and finally somepony that he needed in his life, a friend. He always had the idea that he ruined his fathers life, after all he would get less attention if it was just his wife that he lost but with a son he got a lot more attention then he wanted. after sulcking a bit he seemed to have lost most of his anger to his father now putting all the blame on himself. he decided that he would let hs father do what he wanted even if it was to blank out his own son out of the picutre. It has been a while that he was waiting for his father to come back and it was getting pretty late and Shade was getting more and more tired so he went upstairs so he could go to bed.

the next morning Shade's father woke up in a a different house that he is use to. The fact was that he fell asleep on Roseluck's couch after drinking to much, ever since he has been visiting her house he has taken a prety big lliking to whine or any other asorted alcoholic beverage. he could smell the smell of lilacs and was getting prety hungry. Rose sudenly bursted into the room with a plate of lilacs. As they indulged themselves Rose brought up the topic of school and that maybe it would be a good idea to let Shade into school after all it would occupy his days and maybe he could make some friends. Shade's father was reluctant because he was afraid that he might get made fun of but after Roseluck made some good points he decided to see how this would play out and he went to his house to tell him the good news.

As Shade started to wake up he opened his eyes little by little and was awaken by the familiar face of his father looking at him with a big grin on his face he pushed himself out of the bed so he could ask why his father what was making him so happy. As he got his barings he noticed that his dad had a note sticking out of his sadlebags. Shade remembers asking hisfather what that note was he responded with a further tone "In good time son now come and join me i made breakfast."
