(While it is highly recommended that you read The Wonderbolt and The Dressmaker and its sequels in order to better understand the setting, this is a stand alone sequel. Therefore you don't have to read the previous installments to understand things. A tribute to Amy Keating Rogers, takes place prior to the end of Season 8.)

Rarity and Soarin have been married for a few months now, and so far their marriage has been uneventful despite Rarity's part-time teaching role at Twilight's school. It helps that Soarin has semi-retired from the Wonderbolts to help manage Carousel Boutique.

However, Rarity has been dwelling on a peculiar fact about her wedding. The fact that neither of Soarin's parents showed up or appeared to be invited. Before she has a chance to ask, though, she receives a visitor.

Said visitor is Soarin's mother, Amy. Soarin is overjoyed to have her, but Rarity is curious as to why Mrs. Rogers has come back to see her son after all this time. Mrs. Rogers will soon reveal her reasons, however.
