It was a dark and stormy night when I left the city of canterlot. I had been there for a week at the orphanage giving to the little fillies and colts who had no parents. I didn't charge the orphanage anything because if there is one thing I love to do it is make ponies happy with gifts. As I was walking past a forest I heard what sounded like a little filly. At first I thought It was my mind playing tricks on me because I hadn't slept all week. but that theory soon flew out the window when I heard with out a doubt a little filly screaming.

"HELP ME IM STUCK!!!"

At that point I knew they were real and in real trouble. So I asked. "Where are you?"

"BELOW YOU AND TO THE LEFT!!!"

I looked down to my left and sure enough there was a little filly. She was a unicorn with green eyes, a white coat, and a pink and periwinkle mane and tail that seemed to have a natural curve. She also had no cutie mark. She was trapped under a tree branch I didn't wait to think how she got stuck under there I saw she was hurt and bleeding so I unhooked myself from my wagon and went over and removed the branch from atop her body. Then I very carefully lifted her up with magic and took her into my wagon.

While I was getting some bandages and rubbing alcohol ready she spoke. "W-w-what are you going to do to me?" I just laughed.

"Nothing. But hold still this will sting." Before she could ask what meant I had put the rubbing alcohol on the wound so to stop any infection from starting. After I cleaned the wound I used some cloth to bandage it. "There do you feel alright?" She nodded. "Good! Now what's your name, and why were you trapped under that branch?"

she looked scared for a second then she decided to answer my question. "M-my name is Sweetie Bell. I got caught in the storm before I made it back to my sisters house and the tree branch fell on me. Who are you?"

While she was telling me what had happened I was working. I only had to do one thing before I was finished with the work. I walked over to a small chest chock full of gemstones and took out two small emeralds. I put them on what I had been working on and attached them with magic. "I am Patchwork. Now this might sound strange but your going to have to stay here for tonight."

"No! I cant rarity will be worried sick about me! What are you hiding behind you!?"

"I will explain what happened to miss rarity in the morning. As for what I have behind me." I pulled out the doll I had made while she was telling me what happened. It looked like a smaller version of Sweetie Bell.

Her jaw dropped "D-did you make that? it looks just like me."

"Yes I did make it and I was trying to make it look like you. looks like I did a good job huh?" She didn't speak she just nodded her head. "Do you want it?"

She nodded once again. "Well yes, but I don't have any bits."

I laughed and levitated the doll over to her. "If you keep me company tonight you can have it for free."

"Ok." Then we heard the clock tower from town struck midnight.

"You should rest. You can have my bed and I wont take no as an answer." She nodded climbed into my bed and I tucked her in. she fell asleep soon afterwards. I however did not sleep that night. It is not because I need a bed to sleep nor because I was not tired, I was very tired. I stayed awake and kept making toys. Toy trains, dolls, doll houses, stuffed animals, yo-yo's, and many more I worked until Celestia's sun rose above the town of ponyville.
