I sit on the edge of my bed, staring down at my hands. Reliving the time I've spent with everyone.

"Dad. I'm ready." Solisia's embarassed voice mumbles as she enters my room.

I look up to Solisia who's nervously looking at the ground.

Her snow white fur is contrasted by a golden mane that always seems to be blowing in the air, just like her mothers. Her chocolate brown eyes stare at the ground nervously. She's wearing a white shirt that Rarity made for her as her christmas present which works well with her blue denim jeans that once again where made by Rarity.

"What do you fink?" Solisia squeaks out revealing her teeth which have a cute set of braces with baby blue brackets.

"You look amazing. Even better then your mother." I answer with a confident smile.

A barely visible rose tinted blush spreads across her cheeks.

"W-What did you want to do tonight?" Solisia asks with a small smile curling at the edges of her lips.

"I wanted to take you out for a walk, to the park, the fields. We can just stare at the moon and talk and laugh. Something not anyone else in this house has experienced." I answer.

Solisia immediately looks at me with a look of shock.

"W-We're going outshide?" Solisia asks, her braces causing the cute lisp that ends her sentence.

"Yeah. Just me and you. No one else." I answer as I stand up from the edge of my bed and grap a pair of pure black sneakers.

I put my shoes on and look towards Solisia.

"Are you ready?" I ask calmly.

"Y-Yesh." Solisia quietly answers.

I nod my head and motion for her to leave the room. I grab a small white box with a gold bow on it.

"This won't make up for it.... But it'll be a start...." I mumble to myself as I slide the box into my right trouser pocket.

I then leave the room myself, turning the light off as I leave and quickly following Solisia down the stairs.

"Thish ish gonna be aweshome. I finally get to shpend shome time with Dad." Solisia excitedly tells her mother.

"That's fantastic to hear! You're even wearing your braces again! What are you two going to be doing tonight then?" Celestia asks.

"Dad'sh taking me outshide. To shee the park, the fieldsh and even the moon!" Solisia excitedly answers.

"WHAT?" Celestia nearly shouts. "Adrian is this true?"

"Yes, I want to make up for what I did to her.... So I'm going to be giving her the most special night I can possibly give." I answer confidently.

"I really want to argue about that Adrian, it's not safe, it'll make the others jealous and it'll be dark.... But I can't, Solisia is too excited for your date." Celestia can't help but smile and sigh.

"Eee! I'm sho ecshshited!" Solisia shouts with a giggle.

"Come on then, let's get going." I say as I hold out my right hand.

Solisia smiles and rubs her cheek against the palm of my hand. Solisia then turns towards the front door. Her right cheek against the palm of my right hand and the left side of her barrel against my right leg.

"Dad?" Solisia asks, getting my attention.

"Yes, Solisia?" I ask back.

"I love you." Solisia says with a large smile.

"I love you too." Is my reply.

I open the front door and let Solisia walk out first with me quickly in tow.

"Do you want to take a walk to the park first?" I ask.

"Yesh pleash. I really wanna shee what a park ish." Solisia answers.

I nod my head and lead her onto the sidewalk. I look down at her and just watch as she takes in her surroundings. The lights, the smells and the freshness of the air.

"It'sh amashing out here." Solisia says to herself.

"It's nice at night. Everything is calmer."

Solisia looks up at me and smiles.

"Thanksh Dad. Thish meansh the world to me." Solisia smiles as s tear slowly glides down her cheek.

"I'm glad I could make you happy Solisia." I say as a smile spreads across my lips. "Are you ready to head to the park now?"

Solisia nods her head and wipes away the lone tear before it can reach her chin.

I gently rest my right hand against her right cheek again as she closes the distance between her barrel and my leg again. We start our walk towards the park a few blocks away. As we walk some of the lights that where on in the buildings start to go out as we pass them, those that stay on become blurs in my peripheral vision. But no matter how many lights come on they couldn't match the brightness of Solisia's smile, as soon as she smiled, a coldness I never knew was inside me melted and out came a beautiful filly. The beautiful filly I kept frozen and out of my thoughts for so long. I'm just glad I found her before it was too late.

The clops of her hooves where the only sound that could be heard on the street. The silence although odd, wasn't awkward. It felt right somehow, just walking with Solisia and having her be there was enough for me and she seemed to feel the same about me.

"I'm glad you found me Dad. I wash beginning to think you never would." Solisia's voice ends the mutual silence.

"I really am sorry Solisia. I'm a huge idiot.... I was too young when this all happened and I thought I could handle it.... Clearly I couldn't because I couldn't spend enough time with a few of you. I'm a failure as a father." I sigh.

"You're not a faliure ash a father. I'm shtill here and sho are the othersh. The job of the parentsh ish to raishe their children, you did that." Solisia reassures me.

"That also includes emotional support and the love and attention that kids should have. I completely fucked up and I want to make it right." I point out.

"Thish ish our date Dad, let'sh talk about thish another time." Solisia reminds me.

"Yeah, let's enjoy this walk to the park." I say as I pick Solisia up in the 'princess' position and continue walking.
