Fluttershy once thought that Rainbow Dash and herself were the only orphans in Ponyville. She thought that all the fillies in town were lucky and proud. She was glad to think they all had families, and she was dependent on the good of nature to keep it that way. She didn't want anyone else to experience a childhood at the orphanage, like herself.
But all that is about to change when she realizes that Scootaloo doesn't have a family, but needs one to survive. She convinces Rainbow Dash to let her take Scootaloo in, and have a family of three unwanted daughters. But, afterall, Scootaloo was unwanted, and her parents proved that. So could the two friends help Scootaloo get back on track?
