A Third Gem

       Seven weeks. Seven weeks and Rarity had done nothing but worry about Gem Leaf.

     "Opalescence," she said to her cat, "What am I going to tell her? What am I going to tell Sweetie Belle?"

     "Meow." Opalescence responded. Rarity burst into tears.

     "I'll... I'll have to tell her the truth." she said to no one in particular.

     "Sweetie Belle? Can you come up here?" Sweetie Belle trotted into the room.

     "What is it, Rarity?" she asked.

     "I have something to tell you. Something we never planned to, but we have to tell you now."

     "Rarity, what's wrong?" Rarity told her sister the story of Gem Leaf.

     "You mean... Gem Leaf is my sister?" Sweetie Belle asked.

     "Possibly." Rarity responded.

       Later that evening, Rarity and Sweetie Belle headed over to the orphanage.

     "Excuse me, ma'am." Rarity said to the receptionist, "I was wondering, could I have a look at Gem Leaf's files?"

     "Sure." she said. She handed Rarity a file folder. Disgusted by their lack of formalities, they read through it quickly. "Says here Pearl Belle put her in the orphanages in the first place. Our mother." Rarity looked at the receptionist "It seems Gem Leaf here is our sister."

     "Proof?"

     "Well, her mother was our mother, Pearl Belle. I'm Rarity Belle and this is Sweetie Belle."

     "Alright. HEY GEM LEAF!! YOUR SISTERS CAME TO GET YOU!!! PACK YOUR BAGS!!!"

Gem Leaf came into the room with her saddlebags, they had her cutie mark on them. When she saw her sisters were Rarity and Sweetie Belle, she hugged them.

       When they arrived home, a problem confronted Rarity.

     "We didn't have time to get a bed, darling." Rarity said, "Are you okay with the couch?"

     "Yeah." she said.

     "Here, darling, I'll go get you a pillow and a blanket. Sweetie Belle, it's time for bed."

     "Alright." Sweetie Belle trotted out of the room.

       A few minutes later, Rarity came back in, using her magic to levitate a pillow and a blanket. When Gem Leaf was settled in, Rarity said, "We'll get you a bed first thing tomorrow."

       Gem Leaf, for the first time ever, felt at home.
