   Rarity woke up the next day, and found Belle sleeping next to her.  She smiled softly, but then she frowned when she remembered about today.  She git Belle up and they walked downstairs to eat breakfast.  After breakfast Trend and Rarity were almost ready to go.

"Ok Sweetie Belle we'll be right back.", said Rarity walking out the door

When they got to the adoption, Rarity started to feel sad.

"Are you sure you wanna go through with this?", asked Trend

"Im sure.", replied Rarity with a reasuring smile

They walked through the doors and saw a lime green earth pony mare with a white mane at her desk.

"Hello", greeted the mare "How can I help you?"

"Um…I…I", stamered Rarity, "I would like to place an adoption"

"Huh?", replied Trend

"Yup, we'd like to adopt this little filly here", said Rarity holding up Belle

"Oh, I thought she was yours concidering that she looks a lot like you", said the adoption agent

"No we found her on our doorstep on Saturday", explained Trend

"Ok, what's her name?", asked the adoption agent

"Golden Belle", replied Rarity, "But I would like to change her name to Christabelle"

"That's a lovely name", said the adoption agent handing them a piece of paper, "Ok just sign here"

Rarity and Trenderhoof signed the paper.

"Congradulations, this little filly is now your daughter", said the adoption agent "Have a nice day"

Rarity and Trend walked out of the building.

"I thought we were gonna give her up for adoption", said Trend

"I know, but last night Belle called me mumma and it warmed my heart", explained Rarity nuzzling Belle

"But why'd you change her name?"

"Well, I don't want to call her by the name her mother called her.  Besides, Christabelle sounds pretty"

"Mumma?", said Belle

"Yes sweetie", replied Rarity, "Im your mommy"
