Chapter 35: Thunder and Lightning Adopted

Three months later, it's December, and it's cold and snowing outside. It's almost Hearth's Warming. It's the 20th. The twins and the other foals have off from school. Thunder and Lightning are hanging out with the Ponyville Princess at her parents' apartment. Applejack is with the foals, and Rainbow is supervising the weather team. There's a knock on the door and Lucky answered it. "Are Thunder Crash and Lightning Sky here?" Lucky nodded, then looked over her shoulder. "Thunder, Lightning, somepony's here for you." Lightning went to the door. "Oh, hi. What's going on?" The pony smiled. "There is a couple who is looking for a 12 year old to adopt. We told them there's two, twins. They didn't mind, so they want to meet you and Thunder." Lucky looked excited for the two.

"This is awesome you two! If you can get adopted, well, can I come too? I'm Ponyville's Princess, and I would love to be their moral support for this." The pony looked unsure. "Please?", Lightning asked. The pony looked hesitant, then finally sighed and gave in. Lucky and Lightning squeed and Thunder just grinned. "Well, what are we waiting for? Let's go." Thunder and Lightning both nodded, then the 4 of them flew off to Cloudsdale. The orphanage pony said these two are actually from Canterlot. "That means you might see Princess Celestia or even Princess Luna.", Lucky said. "I highly doubt that, unless they go for walks or something, but being Princesses, they gotta have a lot of paperwork, much like you Little Princess.", Thunder said. "Thunder's right. I highly doubt that with their workload, which would be more than yours, that they ever get out of the castle.", the orphanage pony said.

"Aww, that would be cool though. You'd like them, they're really nice." Thunder and Lightning smiled. They got to Cloudsdale and to the orphanage. When they got inside, the pony who runs the orphanage was confused as to why the Ponyville Princess would be there too. Lucky felt her confusion. "It's because I've been there for these two ever since I met them 3 months ago. You also know I've been giving Thunder counseling, and I want to be able to be here for them as they are adopted, if they are. Though I'm positive they will be." The Cloudsdale Orphanage ponies all bowed to Lucky, and even the couple from Canterlot. "You may stand." They all stood back up. "Well, what are these two like?", the mare asked. Both adults are Unicorns. "Oh, my name is Harper. My special talent is playing the harp. Basically a bigger version of a lyre. The harp has such a lovely sound." Lucky smiled, "Nice to meet you Harper, and do you know Aunt Twilight or something? You are able to walk on clouds when Unicorns can't." Harper smiled, "Princess Celestia helped us. You'll know how we know her when my husband introduces himself."

The stallion smiled and said, "My name is Golden Knight. I am one of the castle guards. I went to Princess Celestia, telling her of our wish to adopt a Pegasus foal, she told me of this place and cast the cloud walking spell on us after I had gotten Harper and brought her back to the castle with me. We were able to use a hot air balloon from Ponyville to get here. So you might just meet both Princesses if you come with me to work." He smiles and winks. Thunder, Lightning, and Lucky all got amazed looks on heir faces. "Dude, this is awesome. We might get to meet the Princesses!", Thunder said. "Yeah, that would be exceptional!", Lightning said. "As you can hear, Thunder talks like a colt, while Lightning is very smart as she knows big words. They both are very good fillies, they just kind of been in a bad household since birth. They really want to be loved by ponies who are parent-like. Little Lucky here has helped them immensely. She even gave Thunder counseling, bless her heart. Astounding for an 8 year old, isn't it?" Both ponies nodded.

"That is amazing. Princess, you are an amazing filly for all the things you do for others.", Harper said. "Thanks Harper. I do try my best." So, the rest of the time spent, the Unicorn couple got to know Thunder, Lightning, and even Lucky. At the end of the day, the couple definitely thought the twin Pegasi were the foals for them. They signed the papers, and off to Canterlot they went, after Lucky hugged the twins good bye and good luck at their new home and for congratulating the four for the adoption. Also, before Lucky left, she thanked the orphanage leader for taking good care of them. When she got home, she relayed the good news to Applejack and Rainbow. They both thought that was great. Like an early Hearth's Warming present. They also thought it ironic. Lucky was adopted by them around this time. Lucky grinned.

~2 months later~

Lucky went to visit the twins in Canterlot on business, her counseling. When Lucky got to Thunder and Lightning's place, she went to the door and knocked. A minute later, the door opened to reveal Harper. "Princess, hello. Welcome. Thunder is at the castle with Lightning and their father. Today is 'bring your foal or foals to work day' for Canterlot. Though," She giggles, "you, I'm not so sure about. Do you bring your mamas to work, or do they take you to where they work?" Lucky giggled too. "We take turns. We take a third of the day and I bring them to my job, then ma takes me to the farm, then mama takes me on her weather job." Harper smiled, "That is a great idea. Who thought of it?" Lucky grinned and pointed to herself.

"Impressive. You really do make a great Princess." Lucky smiled, "Well, thanks. For both the compliment and for telling me where they are. Thunder thinking just because it's take your foal or foals to work day, doesn't mean she can't get out of counseling when it's time for counseling." Harper giggled, then bid Lucky good bye. Lucky waved and flew off to the castle. When she got there, she landed on Celestia's balcony. Celestia was in her room, she was doing her job as Princess. Lucky tapped on the glass of the sliding door. Celestia looked up and smiled, then she came over and opened the door. "Hello Lucky. Come on in." Lucky went in. "You here for Thunder?" Lucky's eyebrows raised. "She told me she has counseling with you. She's actually in Luna's room."

"Well then, can you take me there please Celestia?" Celestia nodded, then lead Lucky to Luna's room. When Lucky walked in, there was Luna and Thunder. "Thunder, Luna, hi!" They both looked over and smiled. "Hiya Princess! So, your birthday is tomorrow right?", Thunder asked. "Yup, I'll be 9!" Luna shook her head, "Time is flying little one. It seems only yesterday you just became Princess, but it's been almost 4 years." Lucky nodded, "I know... but today I came here to give Thunder her counseling. Celestia, Luna, where can her and I meet?" Luna stood up as well as Thunder. "May Celestia and I sit in on your meeting? We would like to see how you do things with your counseling.", Luna asked. "I don't mind. Thunder?" Thunder shrugged, "I guess."

The Princesses smiled. They led Lucky and Thunder to the meeting room where they had the Princess meeting. Lucky sat down and Thunder sat across from her. The Princesses sat on either side of Lucky. "Ok, down to business. Thunder, have things still been good in your home with your parents? Have those two been treating you and your sister like parents should treat their foals still? Tell the truth, remember, I'll know if you're lying." Thunder nodded. "Yes, they have been treating us right still. They're awesome parents. Actually, I think I've stopped thinking about cutting and focusing more on my sister, parents, and of my friends and how it will affect them if I did die from that." The older Princesses gasped, putting a hoof up to their mouths. Lucky just shook her head, saying not to question.

"Good, very good. Soon we will stop the counseling meetings, but I still want to come and visit with you, so I can check on you and see how you're doing." Thunder nodded. So, after a while, the meeting ended. Lucky put the papers in her saddle bags. Then she pulled out 6 small envelopes with her magic, giving them to the three, 4 to Thunder and one to Celestia and Luna. "Invitations to my party tomorrow in Ponyville park." The three nodded, "Luna and I will try to make it, but with our Princess duties, it's hard to say." Lucky nodded, fully understanding. "I also mailed one to Cadence, Shining Armor, and their 5 month old daughter, Aphrodite. (yes, a Greek Goddess. Don't hate me for it .)"

Thunder smiled, "I might be able to meet 2 more Princesses? Dude that's awesome!" The three Princesses giggled. "Yup, that is if they can come. I hope so, I really want to meet Aphrodite. I wanna see what she looks like." The two Princesses understood. Lucky then had to get back to Ponyville. She bid the three good bye and left, also after thanking the Princesses again for letting her and Thunder use the meeting room. When Lucky got back home, she went to her room, tired. Her mamas were working at the moment. Lucky took a nap, and when her mamas got home, it was almost supper time. When supper was ready, Rainbow went to Lucky's room to see if Lucky was there. Rainbow opened the door a little, peeked in, and smiled. "Lucky, time to get up, it's supper time."

Lucky groaned, then turned over and opened her eyes slowly. "Mama? Oh, dinner? Ok." Lucky got up and her and Rainbow went to the kitchen, where Applejack was putting supper on the table. "Howdy pardner. How'd the session go with Thunder?" Lucky smiled, "Good. I think soon she will be able to stop our meetings and be able to actually live a normal life." Applejack and Rainbow smiled happily. "That's great. I hope she does get to lead a normal life. Thunder's a good filly, she's just got some issues that are actually being worked out with you Lucky." Lucky nodded, "Yeah, and I gave Thunder the invitations for her, Lightning, and their parents. I also gave Luna and Celestia their invitations. They're not sure if they can make it, but they said if they get done with paperwork early, they might. I told them I understand if they can't." Applejack and Rainbow nodded, then they ate. When Lucky went to bed for the night, she couldn't wait till tomorrow. Hearts and Hooves Day and her birthday.
