Maretime Bay 8:30am

In the city of Maretime Bay, the ponies living in the city were all seen having a stroll through their beautiful city, having a chat with one another, shopping for groceries and many more like usual in the large city. Life was perfect for the ponies.

In an area of the town, the earth pony mare Posey was seen shopping for dome fruits whe her daughter Rose and her crush Chase were planting and collecting crops happily together which made her heart really warm from the sight, she was eager to become a grandmother at some point in the future.

"Okay, that should be everything, I bet Rose and Chase would both love these fruits." Posey said with a smile.

However, before the mare could turn around and walk out of town, she heard the sounds of somepony crying not far from where she was. She looked behind her to see Sheriff Hitch and Sunny near the sheriff's station with Sunny continuing to bawl her eyes out with no stop at all. Posey must assume that the couple were missing their son Chase who had gone missing from them.

"Oh no, poor them, today is going to be their lucky day." Posey said with a smile as she walked towards the couple.

Near the sheriff's station, Sunny was seen crying non-stop ever since she woke up in the morning due to there being no signs of her son Chase anywhere, she posted missing posters everywhere in Maretime Bay, Bridlewood, and Zephyr Heights but, to no avail at all. Her son was still missing from her. Ever since his disappearance, Chase's dog Ryder would continue to bark angrily at both Sunny and Hitch due to his hatred towards them for chasing his best friend out of the house for a dumb reason.

"Baby! Please come back to me!" Sunny said while in tears.

Hitch tried desperately to cheer his wife up but, it was useless, nothing would cheer her up. The only thing that would make her smile once more was seeing her son okay again.

"Sheriff Hitch, Sunny Statscout."

When both ponies heard the familiar voice, they looked to their left to see their friend Posey walking up to then with a pleasant smile. Hitch Trailblazer immediately stood up straight from the sight to avoid any awkwardness from her, while Sunny just continued to sob and choke on her tears as she stood up.

"H-hello there Posey, w-what can I do for you." Hitch asked in an edgy tone hoping that she didn't notice the ordeal that had happened.

"Morning Sheriff Hitch, morning Sunny Starscout, are you two okay? Why are you crying?"

When Sunny heard the question, sadness filled her gain and she burster into tears, burying her face in her husband's neck in the process which nonplussed Posey due to how fast she reacted and how hard she could cry.

"My baby colt Chase ran away from us the last two nights because of our neglectful attitudes towards him, now, we can't find him anywhere! I WANT MY BABY BACK!" Sunny cried.

Posey was beyond shocked by this, she didn't knew that Sunny was missing her child Chase that much right now, even though she does blame them for provoking him to leave them after he got neglected by them but, the amount of depression and dra that is currently being put on those two was too much to bear.

"Well Sunny Starscout, you're in luck because, I've got your son Chase with me right now." Posey to her with a smile.

Sunny's eyes widened when she heard this, she stopped her crying and stared at Posey with a stern expression. She then gripped onto her shoulders which caught her off guard.

"You do?!" Sunny exclaimed and Posey nodded anxiously. "Where is he right now then?" She asked as she shook Posey's body.

"Whoa relax." Posey said in an aggravated tone as she took Sunny's hooves off of her shoulders. "He's in my house right now doing chores with my daughter happily, he is also in a healthy state as well after we found him unconscious." She replied to her.

Sunny and Hitch let out relieved and happy smiles when they heard this, their baby colt Chase was okay and is alive! They can now reunite with him and apologize to him for their horrible behaviours towards him.

"Can you take us to your house right now then please?" Hitch asked politely.

"Sure thing, follow me."

Sunny and Hitch both nodded before following Posey to the exit of Maretime Bay so that she could lead them to her house where they can reunite with Chase Trailblazer who has been very hard-working when he assisted Posey and her daughter with their chores.

"Oh I can hardly wait to see my baby again!" Sunny exclaimed eagerly.

"Me too Sunny."

After exiting the town and going on a dirt track road for ten minutes, Posey has finished guiding Sunny and Hitch to her house where she told them that Chase was in.

"Here we are." Posey told them.

"Posey, thank you so much for leading us to our son, we are extremely grateful." Hitch said.

"Anytime."

Posey then walked up to the front door of her house, after that, she pushed the door open and entered with Sheriff Hitch and Sunny Starscout entering afterwards. The yellow mare Posey began to looked to her left to see Chase baking cupcakes with her daughter in a loving way, and it seems like they've finished baking those cupcakes and were about to enjoy them.

"Hey Chase, look who's back."

Chase looked at the front door to where Posey was and couldn't believe his, eyes, next to Posey were his parents with them beginning to shed some tears.

"Chasey!" Sunny exclaimed as she ran to her son happily. When she got to him, she immediately embraced him in a hug.

"Gah!"

"Oh Chasey, oh how much I missed you my sweet baby colt, mommy loves you so much!" Sunny exclaimed as tears streamed down her cheeks like a waterfall and landed on her son's forehead. "Give mommy a kiss!" She said as she attempted to kiss her son.

When Chase noticed this, he immediately pushed himself away from his mother which got her very nonplussed. But, before she could ask him anything, the young colt stormed off outside to water the crops and get his mind off of his parents for once due to him still remembering the time they ruthlessly punished him for no reason.

Sunny let out a depressed sigh from the sight, it seems as if Chase is still very mad at her.

"From what I've heard from him, you two should at least be ashamed of yourselves for punishing him like that and making him run away." Posey told them sternly.

"Yeah, what kind of parent would do that to their own child." Rose said shooting both Sunny and Hitch a disapproved expression. After that, she began to eat the muffins.

However, Sunny was not going to give up, she was going to earn Chase's forgiveness one way or another so, she looked at Posey with a stern expression.

"Posey, do you have a spare watering bucket?" Sunny asked with a serious expression.

"Uh yeah, they're in that shack." Posey pointed.

Without warning, Sunny charged to the shack and grabbed a watering bucket, after that, she quickly made her way to the kitchen and filled the bucket up with cold water from the faucet. Ten seconds later, the bucket was filled up and she charged outside leaving both Posey and Rose shocked at how quick the apricot coloured mare was.

"What a mess she made." Rose said in annoyance from the water stains on the carpet floor.

In the garden area of Posey's house, Chase was seen calmly watering the crops in Posey and Rose's garden to get his kind off of the anger that was building up in him from the sight of his parents who he does not forgive yet. Then suddenly, the young colt heard the sound of somepony humming a gaiety tone behind him. Chase turned around to see his mother, happily watering the plants.

"Oh, how much I love watering crops and plants, it always puts me in a light mood!" Sunny commented with a delightful expression in attempt to gain her son's trust. "The sun is shining brightly, the winds are sooth, the grass are soft and many more!" She added with a smile.

Chase on the other hoof got aggravated and was not in the mood to even face his own mother due to his anger towards her. So, he raised his already empty watering bucket and walked back inside the house to put it back in the shack so that he could spend some time with Rose.

Sunny let out another depressed sigh from the sight of her own son walking away from her with hatred. It wasn't going to be easy if she wishes to regain his trust and forgiveness.

"This is gonna be harder than I thought." Sunny said with a depressed expression.
