The Unknown Life of a Happy Face

by RainbowShine


Prologue

It was almost midnight in the small, unnamed town between Fillydelphia and Manehatten when two hooded figures swept the streets in complete silence. To the edge of the town they ran, as fast as they could, down to the orphanage near the entrance to the woods, a basket in tow covered by a blanket and green magic. The taller of the two ran to the edge of the trees and stood, waiting for the other to follow.

They placed down the basket carefully, lifting the blanket to reveal a filly, not even a year old, barely asleep with her favorite stuffed animal. Her coat was pink and mane full of colors, her eyes a sparkling blue when she awoke to see the face of the hooded pony. She reached up for a hug and giggled with joy, a tear from the pony falling onto the filly's face. Their laughter stopped as she looked at the pony with confused eyes. The hooded figure off in the near woods stomped their hoof impatiently on the ground for the other to hurry. They placed a pre-written note in the basket and kissed the filly's head for the last time. They knocked on the door and vanished. Teleporting to the edge of the trees, the hooded ponies watched as the filly cried out, wanting to see them again. The door opened up, a larger pony coming out to see what all the commotion was about. Startled to see the baby left all alone, they looked around for the parents. Nopony was to be seen. The overweight mare took the filly inside, along with the note and basket, closing and locking the door.

The hooded two, now deeper in the trees, stopped to calm themselves. "I want her back..." the shorter of the two said, tears streaming down their face. The other came over and put one hoof on their shoulder. "It needed to be done. We wouldn't have known what to do with her when she found out.." they trailed off. They gave the other pony a reassuring nod as they both got up and kept on walking. Farther and farther away from their only daughter.
