Shadow would've kept on screaming if laughter wouldn't have erupted from the pony in front of her. She stopped screaming and took a look at the dark figure. Suddenly, a light appeared behind the pony, illuminating his face. He had a dark blue mane with sea foam green highlights and was the same color as Electric.
"Look what you did," The stallion said. "You ruined the surprise." Electric appeared behind the stallion, his horn the source of the light.
"But didn't you see how scared she is? You shouldn't do stuff like that, Dad," Electric said. Shadow put the pieces together and came to the conclusion that this was Moon Bolt, her uncle. Shadow fluttered her wings and zoomed over Moon's head. She flew down the stairs and into the living room. She hovered over the couch before dropping onto it. She swung her front hooves over the back and watched for Moon to come down the stairs.
"Well, look at that!" Shadow heard Moon yell from upstairs. He climbed down the stairs with the grace of an unbalance duck. "She can fly already!" Electric followed behind him. Moon trotted over to the couch and looked Shadow in the face. "Where are your parents, kiddo?" Shadow's eyes widened as her mind replayed the memory.
"Are you going to be okay? You're crying," Electric said. Shadow brought her hoof up to her face and pressed it to her cheek. Her hoof was glistening with tears. Shadow couldn't figure out why she was crying, she didn't feel sad. Only empty. She told them the story with a river pouring out of her eyes. After the story, Electric's muzzle was almost touching the floor and Moon's mouth was wide open in shock.
"We need to tell the authorities about this," Moon said. He was about to leave the house when Shadow stopped him.
"The police in Cloudsdale already know and they told the other cities, " Shadow explained. Moon Bolt huffed and went over to the couch. He sat down. Shadow hadn't noticed the wings on his side until he splayed them over the red fabric of the couch.
"Well then," Electric started. "I guess we should do something with you then." Electric said, nudging his dad. Moon's ears perked.
"I guess we're going to have to let you stay here then. We're also going to have to enroll you in the school nearby." Moon got of the couch and left the house. Electric flipped a light switch. He got close to Shadow with his nose almost touching her ear.
"Do you want some," He said slowly. "Pancakes?" Shadow zoomed off the couch and stood in the middle of the kitchen wearing a chef's hat.
"Let's do this," she said before opening the fridge.
