“Ya got her Mane y’know…”
 
 
“THAT’S IT?!” Calamity’s father swooped past to block the door. “Ain’t ya got nothin’ t say fer yerself, ya-”  
Calamity cut him off before he could find more colorfully derogatory language to spew. “Ey-nope.” Then, with a second thought, he added, “Ah’m sorry mom died. Ah’d say somethin’ ‘bout how badly ya dealt with it, but Ah reckon ya already know.”
 
My best friend pushed past his father and opened the door.
 
“Ya got her mane, y’know,” his father said softly, letting his traitorous son past. “Ah really liked her mane.”  
Calamity spread his wings and flew away, saying nothing.
 

 
So this was an idea that Velveteen-Vixen pitched to me a couple of months ago, near the end of FoE when Calamity meets his dad face to face. I was feeling quite un-creative to make a proper background, but in the end I reckoned this puts the focus more on the characters which is what I probably preferred.

Now I’m positive there are things I’ve missed/could’ve added in like battle scars, and if I recall correctly Calamity had given Littlepip his prized hat. But re-reading the sections I needed to confirm what I haven’t done nearly had me in tears again… This story guys… Just.. Gets me so emotional!  
Sweating a little…
