Previous Chapter Next Chapter

Twilight yawned as she awoke and opened her eyes. She didn't immediate recognize where she was before she remembered the events of last night.

"Sunset!" Twilight called out and looked around. But instead of the orange 16 year old she expected she saw a pink filly alicorn with a pink, purple, and yellow mane and tail, her wings were colored a light purple. Which were both tied back with light blue ribbon. Her cutie mark was a crystallized blue heart. She was reading a book till she heard the foals call.

"Hello little filly, don't worry Sunset will be back." She said in a kindly tone before saying. "Also I'm Cadence."

"Hi." Twilight said, then looked around, her friends were right next to her and still asleep, and there wagon was in a corner. Twilight then looked at her sides. Her wings were bandaged in a folded position with a final cloth bandage tied around her midsection to keep her wings in place. Last night a docter said she wouldn't be able to fly for 6 months. Then the door opened and out came two baby dragons one red, one orange.

"So your the filly's Sunset found." The orange dragon said. "Hi I'm Spike, this is Garble." Spike said motioning towards the red dragon next to him.

"Hi." Twilight said looking around the place before asking. "Where's Sunset."

"I'm over here kid." Said a familiar voice and standing at the doorway was Sunset and a alicorn. The alicorn's name was Starlight, the princess of magic. At the sight of the alicorn Twilight dived back in the covers, waking up Trixie.

"Twilight, why did you wake m-" Trixie stopped when she realized she was in the presence of royalty and join Twilight under the covers. Starlight seeing the filly's reaction to her presences looked at Cadence and asked. "Cadence how do you get them to not fear you?"

Cadence smiled and said. "It might have to do with you being twice there high and being the princess of magic big sis."

Sunset walked over to the bed and lifted the covers. "Hello kids, I see you met Starlight and Cadence." She said.

"And us." Spike said before adding, "Actuality only the Thestral met us." Sunset ignored him and levitated Twilight and Trixie on her back. She then woke up Diamond and Derpy, and placed them on her back.

"Where are we going." Diamond asked once she was fully awake.

"We are going to see princess Celestia." Sunset said calmly, but the four exchanged worried looks. They all had a strong feeling that the moment Celestia and Sunset found out that they were orphans they would be sent back to Filly Care orphanage because it was the closest to Canterlot castle.

"Hold on I need to grab your fox friend then we'll be off" Sunset said turning to the fillies noting the worried look on there face.

"Okay." The Thestral said looking around the area.

They grabbed the fox and got to the throne room where Princess Celestia was waiting.

"Hello my faithful student." Celestia greeted when she saw Sunset, she then looked at the fillies on her back. "Hello fillies, I have some questions for you four."

Sunset set them down in front of Celestia and sat down behind.

Celestia then asked "What were four fillies doing out in the middle of the night, and where are your parents.

one explanation later

Celestia couldn't believe what she heard from the foal when she was told what happen to them in the orphanage, under her nose. After letting a maid take the foals back to Cadence and Starlight she and Sunset though about what the foals said.

"I can't believe a orphanage would whip foals." Celestia said."What else do I not know." She thought to herself.

Sunset looked up at her mentor. "What will happen to them?" She asked.

Celestia thought about it. "I-I don't know. I would normally send them to another orphanage elsewhere, but hearing they were raised living like that. I'm not sure."

Sunset thought about what to do. A specific idea crossed her mind at that moment. "What if I take care of them." Sunset asked her mentor.

Celestia thought about that. She was thinking about teaching Sunset humility and showing her the portal mirror, but as she thought about it, the foals might have a better effect.

"Okay Sunset." Celestia said hoping it was a good idea. As Sunset ran off to tell the foals the good news.
