One day in Ponyville, the newly announced couple Twilight Sparkle and Rainbow Dash, are going to the Ponyville orphanage to adopt a foal together.
“So Dashie should we get a young colt or a filly?” Twilight asked RD.
“I was thinking a filly would be the better choice. Since we already are raising Spike in a sense,” RD answered.
“If you think that’s the best choice then a filly we will get, but would it be a better idea to get a colt since we already know what to expect?” Twilight questioned.
“You do have point. But let’s decide when we get there?” RD answered.
After They Got to the Orphanage
“Welcome you two! Are you here to adopt a foal?” the headmistress asked.
“Yes, we are,” Twilight answered.
“So, do you have any preferences?” the headmistress asked.
“We would prefer a pegasus. As for colt or filly it does matter to us,” RD answered.
“Well we don’t have many pegasi but I can lead you to them all,” the headmistress answered. “Would you like to see the colts or fillies first?”
“Fillies,” Twilight answered.
“Fine,” RD mumbled under her breath.
Twilight glared at her.
“Come this way,” the headmistress instructed.
After They Got to the Pegasus Fillies.
“So, is there any that you think you want?” The headmistress asked.
“What about this one Twi?” RD asked Twilight, while pointing toward a young filly with her hoof.
“She is cute,” Twilight answered. “What is your name little filly?” Twilight asked the young filly.
“Peppermint Swirl,” Peppermint Swirl mumbled in a shy tone.
“Don’t be scared, you know what, you remind me of a friend of mine named Fluttershy,” Twilight said gently.
Peppermint Swirl perked up curiously, obviously showing some interest.
“What do you think Dashie, do you want to adopt her?” Twilight asked
“Yes,” RD answered quickly.
“We would like to adopt Peppermint Swirl,” Twilight said to the headmistress.
After they returned to The Castle of Friendship
“Well this is your new home,” Twilight said to Peppermint gently.
“Could a call you mom?” Peppermint asked Twilight.
“If it is what you want you can call both of us mom,” RD said to Peppermint Swirl.
“Okay!” Peppermint said, cheerfully.
“Hey mom, do you know when I’ll get my cutie mark?” Peppermint asked Twilight.
“Can’t say for sure, but I do know some young fillies a little older then you who may be able to help you, but don’t you want to see your bedroom first?” Twilight answered, in a motherly tone.
“Yeah!” Peppermint screamed. “I still can’t believe my new mom is Princess, though.”
After Twilight showed Peppermint her new bedroom.
“So, I remember you say I reminded you of someone can I meet her?” Peppermint asked Twilight.
“Sure, but first do you want to meet your brother?” Twilight questioned.
“Do you mean Spike? We are already friends, we met one day while I was at SugarCube Corner selling some mints to Pinkie Pie for Gummy,” Peppermint answered.
“Is that Peppermint Swirl that I hear?” a male voice asked from within the room next door. Only a minute or two later Spike came into the room to investigate his suspicions. “It is you Peppermint, I didn’t you would be my new sister,” Spike said, happily.
“Spike, it sure has been awhile, hasn’t it?” Peppermint said.
The Next Day at The CMC Clubhouse
“So, Peppermint Swirl, do have any hobbies that can keep you busy from time to time?” Sweetie Belle asked.
Peppermint thought for a good three minutes before mentioning her “job” selling mints to Pinkie Pie for her alligator Gummy.
“Well, is there anything else?” Scootaloo asked Peppermint Swirl.
“Not that I can think of,” Peppermint said calmly.
30 minutes later
“Have yah maybe thought that your talent is making mints?” Applebloom suggested.
“Yeah, but I always thought that multiple ponies couldn’t have the same-,” Peppermint stated, before noticing that all 3 ponies in front of her all had the exact same talent.
“Lots of ponies share similar talents Peppermint Swirl, but it isn’t usually the exact same,” Sweetie “The Dictionary” Belle answered.
“Okay, so do you think I should try to make more mints or what?” Peppermint asked confused.
“It’s usually not that easy but it’s a start,” Scootaloo answered.
“Okay,” Peppermint said, cheerfully.
Five minutes later
“I can’t believe that my special talent was right under my nose!” Peppermint exclaimed, in udder joy.
“It usually is but we never see until we have outside help,” Sweetie Belle said.
Peppermint bounced away like Pinkie Pie usually does when she’s planning a party.
Ten minutes later at The Castle of Friendship
“Mom guess what!” Peppermint screamed.
“What Peppermint?” RD and Twilight both asked.
“Look I got my cutie mark,” Peppermint exclaimed.
“Congratulations, sweetie!” RD and Twilight congratulated.
“See it’s a spiral of peppermint swirls with a lime mint swirl in the middle,” Peppermint said.
