I'll be honest. I never thought I would write fanfic or even like MLP. That changed a lot. I hope you enjoy. All original characters and the whole MLP thing is owned by Hasbro. Of course this being a fanfic, you think Hasbro wouldn't mind. But they do, that is why Button Mash is gone. Rest in peace, Button Mash, rest in peace. I really liked the whole Button and Sweetie Belle ship. Curse you, Hasbro, curse you. But I like MLP. Mixed feelings... I should also tell you that this takes place after the whole Mane6 thing. You'll find out everything soon. Enjoy:)

"Wakey-wakey, my little ponies!" Director Starlight cheerfully announced. "We got a big day today!"

A young colt raised his head out of the mountain of covers. "Are we gonna go home, Missy Star bite?" He asked with hope-filled eyes.

"You just might... um... Little..." The mare looked at the smiling colt with an awkward smile.

"His name is Horseshoe, Star-butt" The red filly rolled out of bed. "Seriously? You don't even know one name"

"I know yours, Red Velvet. With that attitude, you would never get adopted" Horseshoe cowered behind a nearby desk, hoping that daily disturbance might pass.

"You do know that this is a foster care... thing-y" A brown and yellow pegasus pushed back the director.

"I will not stand for this-this rudeness! Horseshoe, you may come down to breakfast"

"Yay! Waddles! And-and-and pin-cakes! With sticky-icky dude-up!" Horseshoe babbled on about his favorite foods as he rushed down stairs.

"You two are going stay up here in your room... with no breakfast!" The insulted mare slammed the door on her way out. "Oh, and it's interview day" The door slammed again.

The twins looked at each other with unsurprised looks.

"I thought there was such a thing as freedom of speech!" Red Velvet yelled down the hall.

"Red, this an empire. There is no freedom of speech, but we can say a lot. Like... the princess is a bitchy cunt!" His sister just blinked.

"You're almost a bad as Star Butt"

"I think it started with being called Caramel Chocolate when my name is Thunderpower Cloudstrike"

"Let's just get some food, boron"

"I'm a boron?"

"Yes you are" His sister opened the window, and flew out.

"How is that a joke?"

"Flying idiot says what!" Red Velvet quickly shouted.

"What? Velvet!" Caramel Chocolate flew after his twin.

The twins raced across the city of Yacoltsk, Mane. It was part of their morning ritual: insult each other, race, then steal food from a cafe near the outskirts of town.

Velvet thoughts wandered and she began to think about this morning. Almost every day the twins insulted the director. Velvet knew better, but not knowing Horseshoe's name was unacceptable. Starlight never cared for them. Not enough to their names. The only reason she knew her name was because she was always causing trouble. If you keep saying something over and over again, it tends to stick. Velvet must be one of those ponies. The kinds no one knows, but remembers because they hate her.

Velvet stewed in anger. She growled and increased her speed, getting closer and closer to the sound barrier. "Red, Stop!" Velvet slowed down and started to pant.

"Sorry... Wait, What I do?"

"Okay, first I finally got the whole boron thing. Second, you were kinda..."

"Sorry it's just that..."

"I know lets get some food" Velvet fluttered back to her brother. She hated her life, but the only thing that kept her there was Horseshoe and Caramel Chocolate.

"Can we just sit and eat?" Her brother nodded.

Their usual place was McApples, but this time they went to Trotting Tables.

"Really?"

"I always wanted to go. Besides, Mom used to..."

"Fine!" Chocolate looked at his sister. He narrowed his eyes, but he knew that it meant a lot to Velvet.

They chose a table, and picked up a menu. "These look good" They read their menus for about a few minutes.

"Would you like me to take your order?" A friendly looking waitress stood there with a notepad and pen.

"Uh... Yeah! I want your" His sister cleared her throat. "...Chocolate chip pancakes with some apple juice"

"buttered croissant with a kiwi"

"Alright, chocolate chip pancakes with apple juice and buttered croissant with kiwi. Ma'am, would you like something to drink?"

"Some orange juice"

"Yay! I love orange juice. I'll go get your orders" The mare trotted away.

"Really?"

"What I do?"

"Hitting on a waitress. That's a new low, bro"

"No, I didn't!"

"Well, then what did you say?"

"Well... I was gonna say... what my order was"

"Oh, brother. I know you too well"

The mare came back with their orders. "Here you go. Enjoy! Let me know if you need anything else"

"Thanks" Chocolate puffed out his chest.

"Get real, Caramel"

"I said my name is Thunderpower Cloudstrike!" He posed as if thunder and lighting flashed behind him.

"Get real, Blunder-power"

"I don't even care anymore" He took a bite out of his food. "These are good!"

"I know right?"

Back home, the twin made their way into their room just in time. "I hope you thought long and hard about you did today"

"We did" Caramel affirmed.

"What did you learn?"

"That we shouldn't"

"Disrespect older ponies" Red Velvet continued.

"Or any pony who is in charge" Chocolate finished.

"Good. Now get ready. You two and... this colt are the first foals to be interviewed" Horseshoe walked into view while licking syrup off his hoof. "And Red Velvet please take off the ribbons. It looks like bandages, and that makes you look like a rough and tumble pegasus. What every pony wants are three well-behaved little foals. I'm doing my best to keep you together, but if push comes to shove..."

"We'll be apart. We know. I'll even wash the dye out of mane" Velvet promised.

"Looks like that little punishment did you some good. Since you are the oldest and the most responsible of you three, Red Velvet, you are in charge of making sure all of you look presentable. Understand?"

"Crystal Clear" The words felt like red hot stones in her throat, but with Starlight it's her way, no highway option.

"Good" Velvet swore that Starlight wore her signature sadistic, little smile. "Be ready in 1 hour"

"I hate her so much" Caramel Chocolate said after she left.

"Ugh... Okay, Little bro, follow me. Caramel, take a shower. You stink" Caramel groaned as he walked to the bath.

"What I gonna do?" Horseshoe looked at his older sister.

"I am going to help you wash up"

"No! The bitten ford" He tried to run away, but Velvet grabbed him by his scarf. "I don't wanna!"

"Too bad"

Horseshoe squirmed in his seat as Red Velvet carefully removed the syrup and crumbs from his face with a rag. "Brush your teeth, brush your teeth, brush your teeth" She sang as Horseshoe brushed his teeth. It was the only thing that made him want to brush his teeth. Finally she brushed his mane. Horseshoe whimpered as the knots and tangles were wanked out of his mane. His sister comforted him after she was done. About the same time, Caramel Chocolate came out.

"Voila!" He said, looking fresh and new.

"Great! now move" She shoved him out of the way to get to the bathroom.

"She's gonna need more than 30 minutes" Caramel joked.

"Ha-ha! I don't get it"

"The jokes not funny if I have to explain it"

"Please paint it" His younger brother begged.

"Fine, I'm saying she's ugly, and it's gonna take a long time to make her look decent"

"Oh... Ha ha!"

"Ow! Killjoy" Caramel looked at the rock his sister threw at him. "Hey, bro"

"Why are you lisping?"

"Wanna play a game?"

"Yay-"

"Whisper"

"Yay"

"Here's what we're gonna do" He leaned closer to his brother and whispered plans.

"Filly?"

"Filly" Caramel Chocolate confirmed.

After a while, their sister emerged from the bathroom. Her coat was clean, and the ribbons were gone. Her mane was dye free and a natural vibrant green.

"Alright guys. lets get-ah!" An invisible field prevented her going in further. "Seriously? I wish I never taught you two that trick"

"Ha-ha!" Horseshoe jumped out. "Bunny!"

"Agreed" His brother walked out of hiding.

"Jerks" Their sister growled at them. "Just you wait"
