The Tale of Oreo Mist

Chapter 4: A Filly in Need

What was on the ground in front of Reshiram confirmed that the sound was indeed a crying foal. It was a very small filly, her coat colored like fresh snow. Her mane was wavy and tri-colored, just like Princess Celestia's, but the colors were different. The colors were teal, carmine(A dark shade of pink, almost like magenta.), and red instead of blue, green, and pink. Black circles enveloped the foal's blue eyes, which were almost as bright as Reshiram's. The white Alicorn's heart was melting, the filly was adorable!

"Well, who in the world of Giratina would leave such an adorable foal out here in the forest?" Reshiram asked, using her magic to levitate the foal towards her. The filly immediately stopped crying and giggled as she swatted at the red aura that was Reshiram's magic. She flapped her wings in excitement and giggled some more. This startled Reshiram, she didn't even see the foal's wings until now. This made her take a closer look. At first she thought the filly was a Unicorn, but she was apparently an Alicorn. She also didn't have one pair of wings: she had two pairs of wings. The wingtips were midnight blue in color, similar to Princess Celestia's sister, Princess Luna. When the wings weren't being used, they folded neatly on top of each other. Reshiram did not know how to react to this. But she knew what she was going to do.

"I'm going to take you home." Reshiram said to the foal. The filly smiled at Reshiram in response. She must have been an orphan, and must have liked the thought of being somewhere that's not a dark, somewhat scary forest. Who would just leave a foal in a place like this? How long was she here? It was questions like these that ran through Reshiram's head as she made her way out of the forest.


Reshiram wasn't sure if she wanted anypony to know about her discovery. Especially Zekrom. He was going to flip out. So she sneaked back to Fluttershy's house to get a blanket for the filly. She didn't really have to sneak, for Fluttershy wasn't even home. "Oh, no." Reshiram said. "I hope she didn't go to the spa without me. Actually, at this rate, I might not be able to make it." she added to herself. Once she found a blanket, she wrapped up the filly inside, making sure she was cozy. Then Reshiram high-tailed it back to Twilight's house. Nopony seemed to question her rush. She did run into Derpy and the Doctor again and quickly said hi. How they were back from Manehattan so quickly Reshiram had no idea. What's so special about that blue box?

She burst into Twilight's house and shut the door rather loudly behind her. She raced up to her room and placed the filly on her bed. Twilight was really nice to let her and Zekrom use the guest rooms in the library. She rushed back downstairs to the bookshelves, surely in a library with as much books as Twilight's would have some kind of novel detailing filly care. Reshiram actually found some helpful-looking books and went back upstairs to read them. But as soon as she lay down to begin reading the first one, the door opened downstairs. That could only mean one thing: Zekrom and Twilight were back from running errands. Reshiram accidentally screamed a little in being startled at their sudden arrival.

This of course caused Zekrom to race up to her room in worry. "Reshiram? Is something wrong?"

Reshiram just sat on the bed, frozen with fear. She sat in a way that Zekrom couldn't see the bundled up blanket that contained the filly. Or so she thought.

"What's that behind you?" Zekrom asked.

"Oh, n-nothing much. Just a rolled up blanket." Reshiram said nervously. As soon as she said that though, the filly woke up and started sobbing. Zekrom looked like he was going to pass out. Reshiram started to cry, too, thinking that Zekrom might do the worst.

Zekrom collected himself and sat on the bed next to Reshiram, wrapping a wing around her. "Care to explain?" he asked. His tone wasn't angry or worried, in fact, he sounded quite calm. This calmed Reshiram, too. The white Alicorn told her coltfriend everything, even though she was still sobbing a little.

The black Alicorn took in the information from his marefriend, then asked, "May I see her?"

Reshiram levitated the filly into Zekrom's lap. Zekrom got his first look at the filly. The filly looked at her new dad and giggled. Zekrom smiled back. "She's adorable." he said. "She needs a name."

Reshiram looked at him. "Y-you're not mad?" she asked, tears still in her eyes.

Zekrom shook his head. "Of course not. I've.... kind of always wanted a kid."

Reshiram's eyes widened. She smiled and gave Zekrom a big hug. As soon as she did that, she thought of the perfect name for the filly.

Meanwhile, Twilight was standing in the doorway, her jaw dropped and no idea what was going on.
