The Twins of Insanity

The following day Marie wakes up at 3 am to a crying Talex. She groggily gets up and trots to the crying colt.

"Shhhhh. Don't cry little one," Marie said as she sniffs the surrounding area. "You're not in need of a changing. Are you hungry," she asked the foal, and began to head to the kitchen to bash up carrots and peas to be sure. Marie uses her magic as her horn glows to get a spoonful of the mashed concoction. "Come on now, open wide," the mare says as the little foal opens his mouth, and Marie feeds the little foal. "There we go. Good. Is it yummy, " the mare said as she feed Talex. Talex looks at the mare and smiles accepting her as a friendly pony and holds her hoof when Marie feeds him the last bite. "Awwww," Marie said as he looked at the foal with a warm smile. She picks the foal up and pats its back to burp him. "Okay, now go to sleep Talex," the mare said as she waited for the foal to doze off, but the foal persisted on staying up and just looked at Marie and his own surroundings. Marie sighs and thinks of a way to get the colt to sleep. "Ah-Ha," Marie said as she lays next to the colt who was put into his "bed". "I'll sing you a lullaby," the mare told the little foal. Marie clears her throat. "Hush now quiet now it's time to lay your sleepy head, hush now quiet now it's time to go to bed. Drifting off to sleep let's put this day behind you, drifting off to sleep, let the new day find you. Hush now quiet now lay your sleepy head, hush now quiet now it's time to go to bed," Marie sang in an angelic tone. Talex falls asleep as soon as she finished singing.

A knock came at the door as soon as Talex falls asleep. Marie looks at the foal worryingly to see if it would wake him. She sighs of relief and goes to check the door.

"Hello," Marie asked quietly.

"Hello, Marie," the pony said. The pony is a stallion with multiple stitches covering his body, with a silver mane, a tan body, and glasses along with a large screw going through his head.

"Hello, Stein," the mare said as she opens the door more to let the stallion in. "How're you, and what are you doing up so early," Marie asked the stallion as he stepped in.

"Oh, I'm fine. Also I just couldn't sleep so I decided to walk around town. When I saw your lights were on, I thought I'd stop by and see how you were doing," Stein said as he turned his screw, it making a clicking sound; like a wind-up toy.

"Awww. How thoughtful," Marie said with a feint blush. Marie was a yellow unicorn mare with strawberry blonde hair, and has en eye-patch over her left eye. At that time Talex begins to cry from loneliness. "Oh dear," Marie says as she rushes up to her room and Stein follows her.

"I didn't know you were a mother now, Marie," Stein said as he stands at the door way to Marie's bedroom.

"Oh. I'm a foster mother technically," Marie said with a small smile.

"I see," Stein said raising an eyebrow. "How did this child come into your grasp," Stein asked looking over Marie's shoulder.

"Well. While I was having some tea before bed, I heard a knocking at my door. So like any other pony I went to investigate. When I opened the door I was surprised to find no one there. So I stepped out a little bit and to my surprise, I found this little guy. His name is Talmos," Marie explained with a smile.

"Okay then," Stein said smiling turning the screw in his head. "Something to this colt seems familiar to me i just can't just can't put my hoof on it," Stein said tapping his chin.

"Oh," Marie asked. "That is odd," she said.

"Oh well," Stein said shrugging it off his mind. "I'd better get going. I'll see you later, Marie," he said trotting out of her home.

"Okay. I'll see you later, Stein," Marie said as she goes back to caring for Talex. The following day Marie checks on the little colt to see if he's awake, when the mare sees the sleeping colt she begins her daily routine of a shower, makeup and other such things. She brings down the basket with the sleeping Talex in, and begins to make breakfast as he sleeps in the living room. As soon as she's done cooking a little cry arises from the foal. "Aww. Don't cry sweetie," Marie said as she trotted to the basket, sniffing the air, making a disgusted face as an aroma of dirty diaper welcomed her nose. "Hold on sweetie," she said as she gets an idea. Her horn glows as she lifts a box of tissues up with her magic and uses a transformation spell to make it into a nice, clean diaper. Marie changes Talex's diaper and the mood of the colt changes almost immediately as he giggles and smiles. "There we go. All nice and clean," the mare smiled as she kisses the foal's cheek. "Alright. You and I are going shopping for you today. We need to get a lot of things for you. Like clothes, formula, diapers, food, and toys. So lets get going," Marie said as she puts the foal in the basket he was found in, and carries him to the closest foal supply store and gets everything she needs (including a crib), and heads back home to put all the stuff away.
