//------------------------------// // Chapter 4 // Story: The Unnamed Filly // by Shady Mist //------------------------------// Twilight was keeping the filly calm while the nurse unplugged her from the machines. The filly was hiding under Twilight while leaving the hospital. She never saw what the hospital looked like outside of her room, but that was nothing compared to when they left. It was so bright, the filly didn't know what that was. When her eyes adjusted, there were so many ponies everywhere. She has never been outside before, nor seen so many ponies. Twilight asked, "It's almost 1:00, do you want to get lunch?" Sunshine replied. "Of course. And how about you?' Asking the filly. The filly didn't answer, but they did here a growl coming from her. "I'll take that as a yes." Sunshine Velvet said. They left to get lunch. The filly was trying to stay hidden under Twilight. Twilight and Sunshine got to the restaurant and sat down on a booth. The filly didn't sit with them, she was hiding under the table. When the food came the filly didn't come out. Twilight took the food she ordered for the filly and gave it to her under the table. The filly started to eat slowly and Twilight smiled. After finishing and paying, they left the restaurant and headed to the orphanage. When they got there, they saw her partner, Ruby Summer a red earth pony with a blue mane playing with the orphans. "Hey, Ruby!" Sunshine called out. "Hey, Sunshine, Princess Twilight!" she called back. "Keep playing, I'll be back." She said to the orphans. Running over to Sunshine and Twilight. "Hey." She said, trying to catch her breath. Looking down, under Twilight was the filly hold on one of her legs. "Is this the filly that's going to be staying with us?" Asked Ruby. "Yes." Answered Twilight. Moving down to get closer, the filly moved back now holding on one of Twilight's back legs and keeping her eyes shut. "Hi, I'm Ruby." The filly didn't look. Ruby went back up, frowning. "Is she okay?' She asked with a sad tone in her voice. "I'm not sure, I hope so." Sunshine answered, also sounding sad. "Why don't we have her go play with the other foals." Ruby asked, cheerfully. Twilight, Sunshine, Ruby and the filly walked over to where the other foals were playing, the filly still hiding underneath Twilight. "Alright everypony, this is …" Sunshine realizing the filly doesn't have a name. "Filly!" Twilight blurted, trying to help. "Yes, Filly. That's her name, Filly. Now Filly is going to be living with us, and I hope you are kind to your new sister." One of the cults walked up extending his hoof and introducing him self. He was getting to close, and Filly ran inside hiding in the first room she saw. The mares ran after her but the foals just stood there before they started playing again. The mares found Filly hiding in the broom closet. "Oh. there you are." Ruby said, while panting. "Is everything alright." She asked, calmly. Filly moved back against the back of the closet. "Please come out." Sunshine said, while extending her hoof. Filly flinched, and Sunshine pulled back, frowning. Looking at the other two. "Alright, come out whenever your ready." Filly turned to look at them. "Your room is the first door on the second floor. We'll let you know when dinner is." They walked out of the closet and shut the door gently. "I'm sorry, but I need to go. Are you going to be alright?" Twilight asked. "Yes." Sunshine said, sadly. "We'll be fine." Ruby said, also sounding sad. "I just can't say the same about Filly." She said. "I know, me to." Twilight said, before leaving.
