Timid was now 2 years old and still highly good with magic. As well as her 4 friends, Pound, Pumpkin, Dizzy and Cream, there had been two more added to the group. Non-identical twins, Tootsie Flute and Quartz, the twin foals of Sparkler. And they had been quite the surprise to the group, with what their pony types were.
Tootsie Flute was a unicorn with a pale blue coat and a similar purple mane to her mom. Her eyes were also similar in color. Quartz was a male pegasus with a pink body, much to his hatred, and a clean blue mane and tail that was spiked in so many places that it was messy. His eyes were the one thing in had in similarity to his twin, they were purple. Sometimes, it was hard to tell they were twins in the first place.
Fluttershy loved Timid and did everything to make sure that her foal was alright but then a question drove into her mind one night when she was tucking her daughter into bed. Thanks to Discord, who was now permanently living with them, changing the layout of a small cottage, there was now 3 bedrooms. A master room and two smaller ones.
Timid's room had a yellow wallpaper coated in beautiful butterflies. Even her blanket, a soft pink and yellow striped blanket was covered in a lot of butterflies. It was a cute bedroom, prefect for a two year old filly. Plus, the small child had began to love the colors pink and yellow and thus, loved her cute, little room.
''Mama?'' asked Timid, while being tucked in.
''Yes, sweetie?''
''Whewe's my papa and who?...Wis it Unwle Diwcord...?''
''Oh...He's no longer around.. And no, he's not Uncle Discord. Discord is just my friend, nothing more. Now settle down, Timid..''
''Oh....Niwht, mama''
Fluttershy smiled at her young, adoptive daughter and began to calmly sing her lullaby to lull the filly into the dream world. And it worked, the small, unicorn filly smiled and yawned before turning over into a more comfortable position and fell to sleep, murmuring the words 'I love you' as her heterochormic eyes closed as she went into a deep sleep.
Fluttershy froze and went downstairs and sat on the sofa. Two things came to mind, both the 'I love you' bit and the fact about Timid's parents. Who were they? And why did they leave their daughter with a stranger, or was she a stranger? Could Timid's parents be ponies she knew? If that was true, it didn't settle well with her.
There was a knock on the door, disturbing Fluttershy from her thoughts. Fluttershy signed, got up and went to the door. Opening it to reveal Twilight who was smiling softly, but her sadness filled eyes spoke differently. Little filly, Nyx was standing next to her and looked a bit sleepy like she had been dragged out of bed for literally no reason. Fluttershy stared at Twilight, worriedly before she heard her friend's small voice ask her.
''Can I come in?''
