A little bit after her aunties left, Cadence goes and does a story time for the foals. “What Story do you guys want today? We can continue The Little Mermare or we can choose a new one.”
“Keep going with the story we’re doing!” Cheer the foals.
Cadence nods and brings the book over to herself with her magic and uses it once more to flip to the page they left off on and begins to read from there. She reads to them for hours before dinner time finally arrives and the foals shuffle into the dining hall while nurses head off to feed the infants.
While the foals enjoy their dinner, Cadence goes to her office and finishes off her day’s paperwork and looks at her schedule for the week. She has three prospective parents coming in looking for a foal to call their own. One set has a foal already in the household. For the other two, this’ll be their first foal.
The next day, the first set of prospective parents arrive and are greeted by the princess. “Hello, Mr. and Mrs. Silversholl,” says Cadence to the couple, “I’m Princess Cadence, the orphanage founder. Are you looking for a filly or colt to join your family?”
“Filly,” responds Mrs. Silversholl. Cadence then takes them to a room where they are greeted by three little fillies.
“Hey Fireshy, Flower Blossom, Aspen Blossom,” says Cadence with a smile.
“Hello, Ms. Cady,” respond the fillies. She then takes the prospective parents and the first filly into the room adjacent to the holding room.
“Mr. and Mrs. Silversholl, this is Fireshy,” says Cadence.
“Hello, Fireshy,” says the couple. “Why don’t you tell us a little bit about yourself?”
“Well, I’m shy. I like animals, making lanterns, and my teddy bear Goldburn, and marshmallows and camping,” responds the filly shyly.
“Thanks Fireshy, can you please go wait outside?” The filly nods and exits the room. Once the door is closed, Cadence talks with the couple. “What do you think of Fireshy?”
“As darling as she is, we want a more outgoing foal,” responds the couple. On this note, Cadence writes that down and brings in the next filly, Flower Blossom.”
“Why don’t you tell the couple about yourself,” says Cadence with a smile and a nod.
Well, I’m one of three fillies from my family,” says the filly, “my sisters are named Aspen and Maple. Our mom died when we were young and our dad in a fire accident that happened from him smoking a lit cigar after drinking several beers that subsequently spilt and set alight burning him alive in his sleep. We were at school when it happened and were told after being pulled out of class by a social worker.” She then turns to Cadence, “please Ms. Cady, please don’t let them break up me and my sisters.” She begins to cry.
“I promise,” says Cadence to the filly, “now go grab your sisters.” Flower nods and goes and fetches her sisters before returning to Cadence. The three fillies re-enter the room. Cadence then turns to the Silversholls. She motions at the fillies as she talks. “If you adopt one, you have to adopt all three, we don’t like to break up sibling groups here,” says Cadence, “please don’t break them up.”
“How could we ever do that to a foal?” Respond the couple, “we’ll gladly adopt all three.” Cadence smiles and has them sign all the required paperwork and a week or so later the fillies are taken to their new home. There, they’re trampled over by the couple’s puppy and the fillies can’t help but giggle.
“You have a puppy!” They squeal. “That’s awesome!” The couple then take the fillies to their new bedroom and show them sound. There are three beds in the room, all hoof carved. One has a flower on the headboard, the other an aspen leaf, and the final a maple leaf. The beds are decked out in pink fluffy pillows and bedspreads and fresh sheets.
“Do you like it?” Inquire the couple.
“Yes! Yes! Yes! Thank you!” Squeal the fillies as they embrace their new parents in a hug. The five then all head out to dinner to do a welcome to he family celebration. Needless to say, everypony is happy and the fillies are thrilled to finally have a family to call their own once again.
