All things considered, Derpy's life has gone pretty well. Living in Ponyville with plenty of friends, a respectable job that allows her to make even more and a well raised daughter now on the verge of starting her life on her own. If only it was as simple as that though. For all that she's been able to give Dinky Hooves, there's one thing that was never able to provide by herself.

Even if she was never going to be asked, the truth was going to come out eventually. An unexpected trigger for her memories leads Derpy to answer the question; What happened to Dinky's father?

Rated teen for pony blood and injury.
