Fireball's Quest

Dancer and Keyboard's mum walked out with both of them by her side and they stared at Fireball who looked at them with orange tear streaked eyes.

"Oh, look, Mum, she's crying." Dancer whispered and the three of them started laughing.

Cinnamon growled under his breath and was about to charge at them but Honey and Caramel held him back with their magic. Sugar and Peppermint soon came out of the principal's office and they stared at the four who had their heads hanging down.

"I'll go talk to them, you just go to the shop and get what we need for dinner," Peppermint said to Sugar, he gave her a kiss on the cheek and she nodded then walked out of the front doors of the school. He turned to look at Fireball who had pleading eyes. "You're very lucky that you haven't been expelled. You just have months of detention after school."

Fireball then started to cry.

"Did we get anything, Dad?" Caramel asked with the same pleading look.

"You will also get detention but you're getting it for a few weeks," Peppermint replied then he turned his head to Fireball and gave her a stern look. "Fireball, this is the fifth complaint that we've been receiving from this school. This is worse than the time you kicked those two foals against the wall during your P.E class."

"I'm sorry, Dad, I don't know what had come over me," Fireball responded in a choked voice and she continued to cry with tears streaking down her cheeks. "I am a freak! I should be in the circus and should never be here!"

She then cried even louder and Cinnamon walked up to her to give her a hug and said soothing words to calm her down. Honey and Caramel then did the same and looked like they were going to cry themselves.

"Come on, you four, let's go home and you can do your homework then you can do whatever you like." Peppermint said to break the silence and all four siblings nodded and walked home with him.

"Dad, we're going to go to the bakery and get some tasty treats." Caramel said and she gave a small smile.

"Can we, Dad? Can we, can we?" Honey asked and she jumped up and down as she looked at Peppermint with a pleading look.

"Of course you can, just don't be home late." Peppermint replied with a small smile then he walked away from them.

The four foals trotted to the bakery that was around the corner and they walked in to sit at one of the tables that were at the windows.

"Hi, what can I do for you?" the usual waitress, Brownie, asked as she had a notepad and pen levitating in front of her.

"We'll just have some cupcakes with chocolate icing." Cinnamon replied with a small smile and he gave her twenty bits. She smiled then walked away.

"Hey, Carrot Cake! Get some cupcakes with chocolate icing!" Brownie yelled as she trotted into the kitchen.

"Sure thing!" Carrot Cake yelled back and dishes and cutlery clashing, were heard.

Eleven minutes later, Brownie came back with a plate filled with a lot of delicious chocolate icing cupcakes. The four foals nodded their thanks and got down to munching the cupcakes and making a mess on the table and themselves in the process.

"I'm so full that I'm not sure if I'll be able to eat all of dinner tonight." Caramel said with satisfaction and she slid forward a little in her seat and closed her eyes.

"Yeah, Mum would not be pleased because she'll probably not give us any ice cream for dessert." Cinnamon responded with boredom then his face fell forward slowly and hit the table.

"I just hope I don't get a lecture from Mum and Dad when we get home. I hate being told off all the time." Fireball said in an angered voice and she crossed her forelegs across her chest.

The four of them were about to leave until a classmate of the triplets' named Pearl, walked into the bakery.

"Hey, Pearl!" Cinnamon yelled and she turned to him, her beau blue mane whipped out of her eyes but as she saw Fireball, her baby blue eyes widened with fear.

"Get away from me, I don't want to be burned to death like Keyboard and Dancer almost did!" Pearl screamed and she galloped out of the bakery and slammed the door.

The triplets looked back at her with confusion and tilts of their heads while Fireball had a look of defeat and sadness.

That night, the triplets woke up in their bed to some noises coming from Fireball's room. They got out of their beds and went to her room to see her, packing stuff into her saddlebag.

"What are you doing?" Cinnamon asked with surprise and she looked at him with sadness.

"If anypony says that I can't be around this town then I'm going out for real to find my real parents. I hope they have a good explanation for why they abandoned me." Fireball responded in anger and sadness as she roughly shoved items into her saddlebag.

"If you're going then we are, we've been getting along since we found you." Honey repsonded with braveness in her voice, more than she had anticipated.

"Come on, let's get out of here and fast." Fireball whispered in panic and the four of them then packed their saddlebags and trotted out of the house as quietly as they could.

Author's Note: Yep, the story is finally getting under way now. Time for the Lady and the Tramp 2 based part to get started and hopefully will get you entertained. Sorry that this is short I have to go to bed early because of an advertisement idea filming early in the morning.
