Fluttershy opened her eyes to find a golden sunrise shining through her window. Blinking the sleepiness from her eyes as she stretched and thanked Celestia for another beautiful sunrise. Then she remembered everything at once when she heard a foals yawn come from beside her in a nest of pillows.
"oh, good morning Melody," cooed Fluttershy. The little filly yawned again and kept her eyes closed. "I think ill make her bottle," thought Fluttershy as she got off the bed and left the room, "i must call Twilight and all me other frinds too! They have to know about this danger even if we can't do anything about it just now..."
While thoughts of things to do swam around her head, she went to one of her kitchen cabinets and opened it. Inside of it was more bottles then one mare should have. "Mmmh..." the pegasus murmured, "which bottle will she like best? Oh this ones nice!" Fluttershy almost picked a bottle with blue patterns but decided against it, "maybe this one?" She found one with pink flowers and yellow butterflies, "no,no... mmh... oh! This one!" She then pulled out a a bottle she had forgotten about. It had crystal heart designs, that when you held it up to the light the hearts had a blue tint. The bottle reminded Fluttershy of both Cadance and Shining Armor. "Yes, its perfect."
Fluttershy began to warm the water over the stove and while it was heating up, she went to check the alicorn, who-to Fluttershy's surpise- was still asleep. Fluttershy smiled and walked back down stairs to take the water off the stove before it got to hot. After carefully pouring the water into the bottle, she spooned the right amout of formula into the bottle. Then she put the lid back on and she shook up the bottle to make the water and formula combine to make the perfect food for her daughter.
She smiled at that. Of all the things Fluttershy thought she was going to do in life, she never thought being a mother one of them. It almost seemed forgein to her, but... it seemed natural at the time.
With the bottle in her hoof, she flew up to the bedroom. Right as she got there, Melody began to cry out. Her wails were rising and falling melodies. Fluttershy smiled and flew over to the side of the bed Melody was closes to. Standing on her hind hoofs Fluttershy leaned up against the side of the bed and leaned to where she could see Melody's face, which by now was stained by tears.
"Shh shh shh," cooed Fluttershy, catching her daughter's attention, "thats right, um.. mama is here, shh, thats right..."
As Fluttershy cooed to her, Melody's wails turned to sniffles and little hiccups. Her flowing tears slowed and soon came to a stop. "Thats a good girl," cooed the pegasus once more, "are you hungry, darling?" Asked Fluttershy as she showed her daughter the bottle. Melody held out her front hoofs and whined a little for the food. "Ok, ok here you go," Fluttershy put the bottle gently into Melody's mouth and she began suckling right away. Fluttershy smiled and arranged the bottle so it was resting on a pillow but still up right enough to were the Melody could still get all the milk out of it.
"oh you were hungry weren't you?" Murmured Fluttershy, "ok sweetie, ill be right back, alright?"
Fluttershy then went back downstairs once again to get her phone. She dialed the numbers and waited for the other end to answer. "Pick up... please," Fluttershy kept thinking until she heard,
"Hello? This is Twilight Sparkle speaking."
"Oh hello Twilight. Its me, Fluttershy," she replied quitely.
"Fluttershy! Hello! How are you?" asked Twilight excitedly.
"Fine thank you," said Fluttershy, "um.. Twilight-"
"What is it Fluttershy?" Asked Twilight, who sounded a little worried now.
"I-i need you to bring Pinkie Pie, Rarity, Applejack, and Rainbow Dash to my cottage... i-if you don't mind, of course," she asked shyly.
"Of course Fluttershy, can i ask why?"
"um.. i would prefer to wait until everyone gets here... if you d-dont mind," she said nervously.
"Thats fine Fluttershy. I'll gather everybody up and be there in a half hour ok?"
"Ok, thank you Twilight," said Fluttershy greatfully.
"Anytime," said Twilight and Fluttershy could picture her smiling as she said it.
Fluttershy hung up the phone and went to get Melody from her-or better yet their- room so she could make herself breakfast. She entered the room and when she got there she heard Melody's singing babbles and the occasional giggled as well. Fluttershy smiled and picked up the white alicorn, who giggled loudly at the sensation of being picked up. "Come on, sweetheart," said Fluttershy, "lets go and make mama some breakfast."
Fluttershy flew slowly, letting Melody feel how nice it felt to fly. Fluttershy remembered her father telling her stories of when she was a foal and how he would take her flying. Of course he didnt take her to far from their home in Cloudsdale, because her mother would most likely end up in a fit. Her father said that when he would take Fluttershy flying and the whole time she giggled and laughed.
Just like Melody was doing right now.
"Thats right Melody," cooed Fluttershy, "once your wings are stronger you will be able to fly too." Melody looked at her new mother with her light pink eyes, until she closed them and her giggles turned into laughter as Fluttershy flew a little faster down the stairs. "Oh Melody," smiled Fluttershy as she continued towards the kitchen.
Putting Melody in the crook of her leg, to where she could easily support the foal's head and body. "Ok, now lets make mama some toast," Fluttershy said sweetly to Melody. Since Melody was in her right leg, the young filly began to play with Fluttershy's long mane. Fluttershy smiled, she didnt mind her playing with her hair, as long as the little alicorn didnt decide to pull on it...
"POP" went the toaster, telling Fluttershy her breakfast was done. But before she even took out the toast, she had to find a place for little Melody while she ate. "Her basket!" Thought Flutter as her eyes rested on it. She then walked over to it and placed the cushion back inside it. Then Fluttershy flew up and gently placed Melody inside. "There you go little one," said Fluttershy with an approving nod.
After eating her toast, Fluttershy took Melody -who she decided to keep in the basket for now- up to her bathroom. Fluttershy brushed her ling pink mane and tail then went over to Melody and sat her up in the basket. She brushed the filly's hair into a style to were her gold bangs were brushed to the left side of her head, and the rest of her mane only reached to just below the base of her head, so there wasn't much Fluttershy could do to it. Once Fluttershy got to her tail though, she combed it out carefully, careful to take all the knots and tangles out. Fluttershy then began to braid the filly's tail, deciding it would be a good style for her.
"KNOCK KNOCK!" Fluttershy heard from the bathroom just as she was finishing the braid. She tied it off in a white bow then she picked up the basket and flew down stairs to answer the door.
"I'm coming," Flutter shy said as she placed the basket beside the couch.
She opened the door to see all her friends when had been with her through thick and thin. She smiled and said, "P-please come in, girls."
"What is this all about, Fluttershy?" Asked Twilight and the others nodded, wanting to know the answer.
"Um... well late last night..." Fluttershy told them the whole story and as she was telling it, she brought Melody's basket over to her friends. They had all gasped at the Alicorn foal. Thats when Twilight asked, "Do you know whose foal it is? It could only be Luna, Celestia, or Cadance's foal."
"um.. watch Melody for a second, if you don't mind," asked Fluttershy. She went upstairs to where Melody's blanket was and then rushed back down stairs with it in her teeth. Instead of giving it to Twilight she ran into the kitchen and got the letter.
"These were with her when i found her," said Fluttershy as she handed them over to Twilight.
She looked at the blanket first and spotted the cutie mark. "T-thats Princess Cadance's cutie mark..." stuttered Twilight.
"What do ya think it means?" Asked Applejack.
Fluttershy gestured toward the letter, not saying anything.
"Dear Fluttershy..." Twilight read the letter out loud and as she was reading it her face looked more and more worried and concerned.
"This sounds quite serious, wouldn't you say Twilight?" Said Rarity.
Twilight nodded,"Yes Rarity, it-
"TWITCHY TWITCH! TWITCHY TWICHING TWITCH!" Yelled Pinkie Pie out of no where, scaring Melody in the process. Tears began to fall down her face down her face, until Fluttershy came and comforted her.
"What is it Pinkie?" Asked Rainbow Dash.
Pinkie pie's ears flicked around, she kept sniffing, her tail was moving like a windmill, and her eyes had gone crossed. "I don't know what it means!" Exclaimed Pinkie, "But i can tell its seeerrriiiooouuuuusss!"
"Oh my..." whispered Fluttershy as she picked up Melody, feeling that she would be safer in her hoofs then the basket.
Then out of the blue, Spike burst through the door, "Twilight!" He panted, "A letter from the princess!"
"Let me see," said Twilight as she took the letter from him with her magic.
"Dear Twilight and friends," Twilight read aloud, "Princess Cadance and Shining Armor have disappeared. Nobody knows where they have gone. I am extermly worried for there well being. If you know or have heard anything, write me back immediately. Sincerly yours, Princess Celestia.
Everypony there except Fluttershy, began talking all at once. Fluttershy looked around and saw how upset Twilight was. "She just lost her brother..." thought Fluttershy. Just then Melody closed her eyes and let out a single note. Fluttershy looked at her, surpised. The filly's muscial note got slowly louder, and Fluttershy felt instantly calmed. The alicorn's horn began to glow slighty as her note reached a another octive.
"Ooohhh, ooohhh, oooooohhhh," sang the little filly. Soon everypony's attention was directed at the little pony in Fluttershy's hoofs.
After a few more minutes, Melody's song came to an end and she blinked opened her eyes and looked innocently around the room.
Rarity was the first to break the long silence afterward, "My, my, what a voice she has! And the magic she weaved into it left me feeling, well, like i had absolutely no worries in the world!"
"Yes i felt like that too," said Twilight, looking at Melody curiously.
"That was awesome!" Rainbow Dash exclaimed, "i didnt think foals could do that!"
"Well Dash, most of them lil' foals aren't an alicorn," pointed out Applejack.
Pinkie Pie just stared, dumbfounded and speachless.
"I knew you were special," murmured Fluttershy as she nuzzled Melody.
Everypony blinked at the two of them. Rarity smiled, understanding what Fluttershy had done. "Fluttershy!" Rarity said, her smile shining, "You love her, like shes your own daughter, dont you?"
"Oh yes, Rarity... I've adopted her," Fluttershy confirmed, still nuzzling Melody.
"Oh! Oh!" Exclaimed Pinkie Pie, her trance finally broken, "can i foal-sit? Oh please please please please PLEASE!" She begged.
"Oh i dont know about that Pink-" began Fluttershy until Twilight interrupted, "Girls? What are we going to tell the Princess?"
"N-nothing!" Fluttershy replied, "we can't let anypony know who her parents are! I'll say shes my daughter. Cadance wanted us to protect her, this is the only way..." She looked desperately up at Twilight, hoping that she would respect her sister in-law's wishes.
The lilac unicorn sighed deeply and then told Spike, "Spike, write this down. Dear Princess Celestia, I am sorry to report that the elements of harmony do not know anything of what has happend to my brother and sister in-law. Your faithful student, Twilight Sparkle."
"Done," said the purple baby dragon. He then took a deep breath and then breathed out a small burst of green flame, the letter turned into smoke and floated out the door.
"Whatever this danger is, when i see it, im gunna get kick some tail!" Declared Dash.
Applejack rolled her eyes at the cyan pegasus and looked at a distraught Twilight, "Twi? Are ya gunna be ok, sugarcube?" She asked gently.
"Yeah, i'll be fine after a while..." Twilight said, her eyes looking somewhere far in the distance.
Rarity clicked her tounge a few times and walked over to Twilight. "Twilight, darling, you didn't lie to the princess," stated Rarity in a confident tone.
"I-i didn't?" Mumnled the unicorn, dumbfounded.
"That's right!" Said Pinkie, bouncing to her friends side, "I remember! You said you didnt know what happened to your BBBFF and Princess Cadance! Thats true! We have absolutely no idea what happened!"
"Hey, your right Pinkie," said Twilight looking at the pink pony, "thank you."
Melody decided at that moment to giggle loudy and hold her hoofs out to Twilight. "I think she wants you to hold her Twilight," said Fluttershy, holding out the alicorn to Twilight.
"A-are you sure Fluttershy?" Asked Twilight uncertainly.
Fluttershy smiled and put the foal in her friend's hoofs. Twilight looked down at the filly she held and smiled slightly. Melody looked at her with her light pink eyes for a second before she closed them. As soon as her eyes closed, the filly's horn began to glow a light blue color, same as Shining Armor's magic, thought Twilight.
Melody tilted her head to where the point of her horn was touching her aunts chest. Twilight gasped at the contact. Warm energy poored into her veins, every worry of Twilights seem to float away from her, leaving her refreshed and feeling brand new when Melody removed her horn.
Twilight sighed happily and then snuggled the filly's cheek to her own and whispered, "Thank you," before handing her back to Fluttershy.
"uh... is that normal? Even for an alicorn?" Asked Rainbow Dash.
"i have no idea," replied Rarity, "baby unicorns sometimes have magical outbursts, but i have never seen anything like this."
"She's special," said Fluttershy in a matter-of-fact voice.
"Ya got that right 'Shy!" Laughed Applejack, "well im sorry everypony back i gots ta get goin! Them trees aint gunna buck themselves!"
"Oh yes, i must being as well! I have a very important dress to make!" Said Rarity as she trotted out the door behind Applejack.
Pinkie Pie gasped suddenly and ran out the door.
Rainbow Dash walked over to Fluttershy who was still holding Melody. "Shes so cute!" Said Rainbow, tickling the alicorn under the chin with her hoof, "sorry 'shy, but i have to go clear the sky."
"Oh thats ok Dash, i think im going to put her down for a nap anyway," said Fluttershy.
"Alright, bye!" Called Dash as she flew out the door.
"Are you going to stay for a little while longer, Twilight? Spike?" Asked Fluttershy.
"im goin to watch Rarity make her dress!" Claimed Spike as he ran out the door to catch up with the white unicorn.
"What about you Twilight?"
"I think... I think ill go to the libary for now. I might write my mom and dad about Shining Armor..." Twilight mumbled as she walked out the door, seemingly deep in thought, and shut it behind her.
"Well Melody, its just you and me again," murmured Fluttershy, "lets go take a nap, its already been a long day for you and me."
