It's Silverbolt's birthday. Dusk's father, Moonshine, went to the cemetery in Canterlot's Residential District to honour her memory.

What he found instead was a lone drunken pony enjoying a party for one. One pony who desperately needed his father's help. Now, confronted with his son's addiction, Moonshine has to figure out how to approach the situation.

As a loving and caring father? Or as a former guard? Or could there be a middle ground of the two?
