"Budder," A younger pink filly said to me. "Will I ever be adopted..?"
"What?" I reply in shock. "Why would you even ask that, of course you will be adopted. You're young and completely adorable, you just haven't yet because the other ponies haven't seen you."
"What about you?" The unicorn questioned. "Will you be adopted?"
What she said took me off guard. "No," I said quietly. "I don't think I will, Rose. No pony I've ever heard of has adopted a filly as old as I am..." I stared into her silver eyes and saw sadness. "Don't worry, you'll get adopted soon."
I rubbed my hoof back and forth on her silver and light pink mane a few times before she swatted it away. "Hey!" She yelled with a smile on her face. "Not the mane!"
"Rose Moon!" The blue pegasus yelled. "You're being adopted!"
"See," I said, looking the filly in the eyes. "What'd I tell ya?"
"What about you?" She said, concerned. "Will you be okay?"
"I'll be fine." I lied, trying to keep her calm. "Go see your new family Rose."
"I'll never forget you, Budder." She said, giving me a hug. "You were always like a sister to me." With that she turned and ran to the newly proud parents of her and left.
"What'd I tell ya Rose?" I asked to myself. "I'll never be adopted..."
"Talking to yourself again?" The voice of a young colt asked. "You always do this after your friends leave here."
"At least I had friends here," I replied looking over my shoulder. "And I wasn't such a jerk to everypony."
"You want me to hurt you?" He asked, a hint of anger in his voice.
"Listen, Dusk." I said, turning completely around to face him. "I could do a lot worse to myself than you could ever do to me. Plus, I could seek revenge for those you've harmed. So I suppose you back off." I turned and walked to my room from the outside playground.
I slammed the door to my bedroom and flopped on my bed. "Why didn't anypony adopt me when I was younger?" I rolled to my side and fell asleep. Sadly, I did not dream about the strange silhouette of the stallion. I didn't dream at all.
When I awoke, I saw the moon was raised. "Oh Luna," I said, sitting on the floor in front of the window with a small blanket wrapped around me. "Please let me be adopted soon. Please?"
Knock knock knock. "Budder," I heard the purple maned pegasus whisper through the door, it then slowly opened. "You up?"
"Yeah, why?" I asked, not moving from my position in the floor.
"You might want to pack your stuff up tomorrow." She said, walking toward me. "Somepony called and is coming ether tomorrow evening or the day after."
"How can I trust you?" I said darkly. "After all the times you said I was going to be adopted and then I find it all to be a prank, how can I trust you?"
"This time its not a lie." She said. "I give you my word. If it is a lie, i'll give you my left wing."
I climbed back into bed as she left, quickly falling asleep and waited for the next day to arrive.
