Love has many faces. Parents and children, brothers and sisters, lovers, friends, all of them share unique bonds that hold them together. These bonds may be simple or complicated, and sometimes we find them in unexpected places. The bonds that hold Equestria together are no different.

Takes place sometime between "Sleepless in Ponyville" and "Magical Mystery Cure."
