Summer Nights opened the back door of Club Stardust, it had been a hard night she had to put on three different performances that night and on her last song she had to put on an encore at the demand of the hoofstomping crowd. But she knew she was lucky to be able get work in Manehatten, especially since the music business was so tough. So she sighed as the cool night air soothed her qualms. Summer was about to go into room inside the club to turn in for the night but before she could she heard a noise "huuuuuh". Summer stopped dead in her tracks, it was a very disturbing sound to hear it was raspy and weak and whatever had made the sound was most definitely in pain. In fact whatever had made that sound hadn't stopped "huuuuh" " sob" "sob" "cough" "hak" "hak" "huuuuuh" "huuuuuh" "huuuuuh"... something or someone was crying. Summer Nights started to panic she looked around for the source of the source of the sound and said "hello, who's there?" she got no response except for that same awful cry, Summer needed to find what was making that sound because she knew something awful would happen if she didn't. Then she heard a "clang" from the back of the alley, her sensitive musicians ears perked up and she slowly walked towards the back of the alley letting her ears guide her as that awful cry got louder and louder. Until she stopped at an overturned cardboard box her ears didn't lie whatever was making that sound was under this box. Summer Nights took a deep breath and then tore the box away as quick as she could and what she saw there left her stunned. It was the tiniest creature imaginable but Summer had no idea what in Equestria thing was it seemed to have the head of a foal but it had a body of all sorts of things such as a lion's paw, and eagle claw, a goat hoof, and a snake tail to name a few. Her train of thought was cut short when it started to make that weak raspy sound again "huuuh" "sob" "sob" "hak" "hak" "cough" "huuuuh" "huuuh" Summer gasped in sudden realization, this thing was definitely crying and she knew what it was. It was a baby... A helpless baby who had been left alone in a dark, dank alley. "Oh no... you poor thing" said Summer with tears in her eyes, using her wings to hover over the strange infant she carefully used her hooves to it up and cradle it close to her chest. That poor creature was so cold and obviously had to put in a lot of to breathe but it could still find the strength to snuggle into Summer Night's warm, sweet smelling orange fur. Summer could feel her heart melt "ok sweetie lets get you inside" she said as she turned around and flew as fast as she could inside Club Stardust, slamming the door behind her.
Once she was back inside her room she set the baby on her bed and said "wait here" before darting off to the kitchen where she grabbed a quart of milk and after some thought a baster as well. When she got back to her room she filled the baster with milk and tried to get the baby to eat with the baster in one hoof and the baby in the other. But she wasn't having much luck, the baby just made small "huuuh" sounds as it refused to let the baster in it's mouth "come on little guy you need to take this, come on" said Summer. Three tiny drops of milk fell on the baby's mouth and his small, dry tongue slowly licked his lips before lunging forward and taking the baster in his mouth, sucking up the milk greedily. Summer smiled warmly as she watched the little guy drink every last drop and then, when he was finished and passed out cold in her hooves she took every spare blanket she had and made a sort of nest on the floor where she put the baby down to sleep. Summer looked down at the sleeping child and felt an overwhelming sense of maternal love sweep over her, it's ok she thought your mine now. Then she crawled into her own bed and let herself join the baby in blissful slumber.
