Princess Celestia nursed her head as she went through her paperwork. She took a quick break and took a look out the window. She sighed as she looked at the collapsed building.  3 civilians dead and hundreds more injured. What do we let the most powerful pony in Equestria do. Should we let her rebuild the city she built. Of course not lets give her paperwork. Celestia snorted. 

At least paperwork was reasonably simple. After a few thousand years Celestia could do it her sleep. However there was one complication. She looked down at the little pegasus filly by her chair.. She couldn't keep the filly. She simply didn't have the right conditions to have the filly.  She would need to find someone who would be willing to foster a filly like this one. Just another problem in a list of problems. Celestia slammed her head on her desk and grabbed her pen in her magic, twirling it  around not putting it on the paper.

Suddenly Princess Celestia was alerted to a knock on her door. She quickly sat up and pretended she wasn't just procrastinating.  "Come in" She called. The huge door slowly swung open and a rainbow mane peaked through. The rest of the pony followed through and Rainbow Dash was standing in the room. 

Celestia took one look at Rainbow and realised something was wrong. Rainbows coat and mane were ruffled and her eyes were suspiciously bloodshot. Celestia opened her mouth to speak but was interupted by Rainbow. "Where's the filly? Have you found her a home already!?"  Rainbow looked around for the filly before seeing her curled up next to Celestia. She rubbed the back of her head. "Obliviously not..." Celestia sighed and showed Rainbow the list of names of ponies that had already declined.

For a few minutes there an awkward silence. Taking note of this pause Celestia continued with her paperwork and the sounds of a scribbling pen echoed through out the room. Rainbow sat there kicking her left hoof on the ground trying to look anywhere other than at Celestia. 

Finally the silence became to heavy for Rainbow and she blurted out her proposition. "Idon'tmindhavingthefilly!" Celestia stopped writing and raised an eye brow. " I'm sorry Rainbow Dash I didn't quite catch that." Rainbow looked down at her hooves her cheeks quickly reddening. "Um... Well... I've been thinking that mabey I should..."  Finally Rainbow gave up on the proposal and just decided to say what she needed to say. Rainbow took up a pose as if she was talking to Spitfire and spoke. "I think I am the right pony to look after this filly ma'am. After all she is a pegusus and has likely not flown before ma'am. Being the fastest flier in Equestria I think I could help the filly." Rainbow took a deep breath in and out to steady herself. She looked up inquiringly at Celestia who looked up with an amused expression on her face. 

"Rainbow Dash I..." Rainbow prepared for the worst. "Think that will be a great idea! The filly already knows you and you would be a great person to teach her how to fly, like you're doing with Scootaloo." Rainbow looked up with a smile on her face. 

From then on it was decided it's time for our story to begin...
