	Fluttershy looked at the small fluffy bundle in her arms, tears entering her own eyes. "Rainbow look," she motioned to the baby's back, there between her shoulder blades where her wings should have been there was nothing but small bloody stumps.

Rainbow's eyes went as wide as dinner plates, "H-her wings." the rainbow maned flyer went a bit pale, "Someone ripped them right off." she looked around, eyes focused on the sky above and below them. "When I first saw her she was reaching out to something, maybe she was trying to go after her parents."

Fluttershy started to cuddle and coo down at the baby in her hooves, "That explains why she was crying, that's how I noticed her." Fluttershy looked up at Rainbow, "Dash we can't just leave her here."

Rainbow looked up to where the sun was moving behind the mountain and nodded, "She wouldn't last a minute up here alone." she shook her head, "Come on 'Shy, Twilight should know what to do." As the two flew back to Ponyville and the resident princess they could both fell themselves becoming quickly attached to the small bundle. 

"R-rainbow," Fluttershy stuttered, "I-if Twilight says it's okay, then I'm going to a-adopt her." Rainbow suddenly stopped flying.

"You're what!" she turned around to be met by the Flutterglare, as the look she was getting had come to be known. The Flutterglare was powerful enough to stop a rampaging Angel Bunny at twenty paces, calm an angry bear in a flash, and send a Timber wolf running home to his alpha with just a glimpse. What had caused Rainbow to now be under it's control was the fact that when she'd screamed she'd startled awake the baby in Fluttershy's hooves, making her cry.

"Rainbow Prism Dash," Fluttershy scolded, "Look at what you've done, and I just got little Breezie to sleep too."

"B-breezie?" Rainbow asked eyes wide.

Fluttershy gave a firm nod, "Yes Breezie, it's short for Gentle Breeze." Rainbow's jaw dropped. "Rainbow stop it," Fluttershy stated, "She's all alone, and you know she'd be shunned in Griffonia because of what happened to her wings." 

Rainbow tried to form coherint words then she sighed once more, "Okay fine, but if you're adopting her then so am I." she stated proudly, "You'll need some help and I know a bit more about Griffons than you do thanks to hanging out with Gilda like I did."

Fluttershy beamed at her as they landed in front of the crystal friendship palace, "Thanks Dashie." Fluttershy whispered with a soft nuzzle before walking in, Gentle Breeze cradled in her wings.

Rainbow walked ahead of them, keeping her keen eyes open for the lilac colored egg head, "Yo Twi you here?" she finally called out, once again putting herself at the mercy of the Flutterglare.

Twilight poked her head out of the library, where else, and trotted over, "Oh hi girls what's going on-" she stopped as soon as she spotted Gentle Breeze, "And is Fluttershy holding a Griffin hatchling?" at the double nod she was getting Twilight nodded herself, "Okay well then... Spike!"

Fluttershy pulled Gentle Breeze close and turned the Flutterglare onto the new Alicorn, "Really Twilight do you have to yell, you're scaring her."
