Rain poured down in the two teenage pegasi, as they carried their new born fillies. One filly had a small tuft of pink along her neck and head the same shade as her young mother's long mane. The pink maned teen had a brighter shade of yellow than her buttery daughter. The other had the same sky blue coat and magenta eyes.
The yellow Pegasus looked to her friend tears shining through the rain, "I don't know if I can do this." The tears fell more as they reached the orphanage "What will they think of us when they are older? That there mothers didn't love them enough to keep them." She broke down in sobs clutching her daughter who was only hours old, The cyan Pegasus wrapped her best friend in a wing hug as they cried silently. "We don't have a choice… you know what would happen if we kept them."
"I promised myself I wouldn't be like my mother…and that's exactly what happened…"
"I know dear, but we have the letters for when they are older and hopefully by then we can get away and get them back." Her blue friend spoke boldly as she laid her new daughter on the doormat; though she was swaddled tightly she still shivered in her sleep the cold waking her. The newborn stared into her mother's magenta eyes not knowing why she was so cold or why her mother was crying. The teen kissed the top of her daughter's head where you could see tufts of every color of the rainbow. . The yellow teen gently laid her filly next to the other
The two fillies looked at each other shivering and they nuzzled each other to share each other's warmth. The blue mother pulled her sobbing friend away as she rang the doorbell before they ran off to stop in an alley close by sobbing in each others hooves.
Meanwhile in the orphanage
An earth pony was sleeping peacefully when she was awakened by a doorbell, "Oh who could it be at this hour?" she asked to no one in particular as she walked down to the door. She opened the door and looked around not seeing anyone until she heard a tiny sneeze before a loud cry. She looked down to see two little fillies, "Oh you poor dears," she brought them inside calming down the butter colored filly. Their blankets were wet and cold so she quickly unswaddled them on each fillies belly was a small envelope one said Rainbow Dash and the other Fluttershy. "Hmm Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy, they must have cared enough to name them." As she picked up the two envelops a third fell to the ground, which was titled to the mare of the house. "Oh what's this?" she picked it up and opened it.
It read: To the mare of the house, it may seem odd that we leave a letter but as much as we would love to keep our children we cannot. We cannot explain our circumstances but we love these fillies with all our hearts and tears us apart to have to give them to you. We know that they have the best chance in a home unlike our own where they can actually be taken care of. We don't know when but we will come back for them when we are able to safely. The other two letters are for our fillies on their 13th birthday in case we are unable to be there ourselves.
Please treat our fillies with love,
Misty Bolt and Shimmering Breeze
