//------------------------------// // Crystal Empire to Ponyville // Story: Always My little Girl // by Bookworm- //------------------------------// Shining Armor walked into the nursery in the castle. He walked around, making sure that no pony had been in there since the last guard left the nursery. When he thought everything looked fine he went to the crib and smiled at the little filly in it. His beautiful daughter, Sketch was sleeping. He picked up her sleeping form and sat in a chair, while rocking her gently. He looked at her mane, it was wavy and was pink and dark blue. Her coat was a creme color. Suddenly the baby filly's eyes opened, her eyes were a color that combined blue and purple, and she smiled at her father. Shining's heart melted as he saw his daughter's smile, she was so adorable and tiny. And helpless. He put the baby back in the crib and started pacing the room checking every nook and corner. Suddenly he heard a terrible laugh from a mare. He ran back to the crib and grabbed Sketch. As he ran out of the nursery, he looked at his daughter with tears in his eyes. He was already losing her. He already had to send her away. "I love you, okay Sketch. You'll always be my little girl." He ran into Cadence's room and he looked at her, while nodding. Her face dropped and they put her in the basket they were using to transport her. They both started to cast a spell as the changelings were trying to get in. When the changelings came in, the child was gone. "Where is your little brat?!" Chrysalis yelled. "You'll never find her. She is nowhere near here." Shining Armor looked at the queen. "Oh yes I will, and when I do, she won't escape my wrath!" The changelings left. Luckily Sketch was sent to a relative and would be sent a letter through her assistant. —————————•••••••••————————••••••••————————••••••••————————••••••••————————•••••••• Twilight was with her friends in the throne room of their castle, when suddenly a basket was teleported in front of Fluttershy. "Oh my, what's this?" Fluttershy said in her calm voice. She bent down and opened the basket to see a foal. "She's adorable!" Fluttershy picked her up. Suddenly Spike burped up a letter. "Who sent it Spike?" Twilight asked. "Your brother!" Fluttershy looked up and smiled. "I think I know why he sent a letter." "Why, sugarcube?" AJ asked. "This baby filly right here is his daughter." The other ponies finally realized that the baby had a horn and wings. "She's so cute! Can I hold her?! CAN I?! CAN I?!" Pinkie yelled. Sketch smiled at Pinkie and laughed. "Ahh." Rarity and AJ said. "Oh no, the baby is too cute. I'm going to die!" Rainbow yelled. "What is going on your majesty?" Flash Sentry came in. "Oh nothing is wrong Flash, you can continue what you were doing." Twilight replied, looking at him with a light blush. Flash left with a blush on his cheeks and another guard saw him. "Looks like someone has a crush on the princess." "Shut up." //////////////////////////// "Looks like we have to raise her girls." Twilight said. "How is she going to go to school with a horn and wings?" Rainbow asked. "Oh, I know! I know! We can put a baggy hat on her and she'll look like a Pegasus!" "That is actually a great idea Pinkie Pie." Rarity said. "Thank you." "We should change her name too." Fluttershy suggested. "How about, Paint?" "Ah' like it." AJ said. "Me too." Spike said. "It's cool." Rainbow nodded. "So it's settled, Sketch is only Sketch here. But at school she is a Pegasus named Paint." Twilight declared. "Yep." The other ponies agreed. "Well, let's get a room made into a nursery." Fluttershy said. "Yay! I'll go get some buckets of paint and get an artist to come and paint designs on the walls! Ooo, we can gat them to paint her mom and dad on the walls to!" Pinkie exclaimed. "I'll get a crib made just for her with some curtains for the window, I'll make her clothes too." Rarity smiled. "Okay everypony, let's get to work." AJ said. They all went in different directions and Fluttershy took Sketch to her cottage until the nursery was finished. "What's that you're holding, my dear?" Discord asked. "Twilight's niece." Fluttershy replied. "She's only staying for today, don't worry." "Oh it's fine. How about we let her play with Screwball?" He suggested. "Oh that's a great idea, they are the same age. What about Star Sky?" "He's sleeping in his crib." "We'll maybe next time she can play with him." "Maybe, now I gotta go, I guess Queen Chrysalis is back. Bye." The draconeques kissed his wife and left. Fluttershy flew over to the play pen with Sketch in her arms and put her down next to Screwball. Screwball looked at Sketch and became curious. Why did she have both a unicorn horn and wings? Screwball had only seen 1 other pony like that, and that was her Godmother Twilight Sparkle. Screwball crawled towards the other foal and conjoured up a baggy hat, that was purple, and used her magic to put it on Sketch's head. Sketch looked at it and smiled at Screwball with a tiny laugh. Screwball smiled and laughed a bit too. Suddenly Fluttershy heard Screwball's twin brother, Star Sky, cry and wake up. "I'll be right back girls." Fluttershy flew up stairs. Sketch took this as an opportunity to get a closer look at her friend. Screwball had very interesting eyes that were purple spirals. Her mane was light purple and white, her coat was a light pink color. What Sketch liked the most though was her green and white propeller hat, it was cute and cool. ///////////////////////////////////////// Soon Rainbow had come to get Sketch so she could sleep in the new nursery, but when she got there she saw something so adorable she had forgotten why she went there in the first place. Sketch, Screwball, and Star Sky had all cuddled up after playing for a long time. Star Sky was in the middle and Sketch was on his right, hugging him like he was a teddy bear. "That is so cute." Rainbow said. "I know." Fluttershy replied. "I've never seen the twins sleep so soundly before." "Oh, um, I came to bring Sk- I mean Paint home." "Oh, of course." Fluttershy gently picked the alicorn up. Sketch began to struggle so Fluttershy gave her a stuffed bunny that used to be hers. Sketch settled down in the mare's arms and smiled in her sleep. Fluttershy looked at Rainbow and handed her the foal. "Are you sure you want me to hold her, b-because I d-don't want to drop her?" "You'll be fine." Fluttershy sent them on their way and saw Star Sky was up and started to cry as Sketch left. "Oh, dear." Fluttershy went to comfort the little colt.
