It was a cold winter night in Equestria, and 8 months ago the kingdom got it's new princess, Princess Luna, a purple/blue alicorn with a light blue mane and tail. She was everything the King and Queen hoped for, besides their first born daughter Celestia, a white alicorn(like her father) with a light pink mane and tail, to them, their daughters were everything to them! But, even though they had two loving and healthy, beautiful daughters, they could never seem to have a son(even though they only had sex like, twice....) and still wanted one. One night, while feeding Luna, Queen Starlight said to her husband, while holding Luna in her hands and arms "Solaris, I know we've tried everything to get a son, but there's one more way." As she continued, she decided to preen her daughter's wings, hoping her daughter would be able to sleep through the night tonight.

"Yes my dear, what is it?" King Solaris asked his wife, as he stretched out his own wings, and used his magic(which had a red aura glowing from his horn) to grab a blanket and put it into his hands, then wrapped it around his wife, to where he was able to cover her hooves. His wife only looked back at him, at his pure white face, and he soon realized what she meant, as he looked at her dark blue face, which held two white orbs, with purple circles in the white orbs that were her eyes, then said to his wife "You mean adoption, Starlight?"

His wife nodded, as she put their now sleeping foal into her crib, then replied to her husband and said "But we mustn't tell Celestia, she'll want to go with the one of us that goes to the orphanage tomorrow." As she finished, she heard a small giggling, that of her 5 year old daughter Celestia's, and noticed a white night dress disappear behind a door, and heard hoof steps growing fainter and fainter. "Well, I guess it's too late now!" Queen Starlight said, as she laughed a bit herself.

"Wait... tomorrow my dear? Why so soon dear wife?" Solaris asked his wife, wearing a confused look upon his face, as this was the first he heard of the orphanage, AND the fact that one of them would be going tomorrow.

"Well..." Starlight said in a hushed tone, so not to wake the sleeping child in the room "I've already made the arrangements for you to go their tomorrow. Did you never ask why you had a free day tomorrow when ever the royal advisor gave you your schedule on Sunday?"

Solaris' jaw dropped, and he said without trying to yell "You.... went and made.... the appointment already, without.... my advise?" As he looked at his wife, surprised that he never did ask about that free day, believing he had a day off on the Friday. "OK!" Solaris said, with his jaw back up, and calmed down "I'll go tomorrow, and I'll bring Celestia with me. How does that sound?"

"Absolutely wonderful dearest husband!" Starlight said, then kissed her husband straight on the lips, then tip-hoofed out of the room, so not to wake the sleeping baby Luna, and have to redo everything she just did, after giving her daughter a kiss goodnight. Solaris decided that it was best for him to do the same, and that's exactly what he did! After this, he went to his room, to lie in bed with his wife, whom he loved very much, more than the moon and stars themselves.

The next afternoon....

King Solaris and his daughter, Princess Celestia, had stood outside the quiet "Canterlot orphanage for needy foals" and held each other's hands, Celestia's being completely covered by her father's enormously strong hand. Once the two entered, they noticed the 'quiet' orphanage was actually quite loud on the inside, more than anypony actually knew! The front area held a bunch of foals that were playing and making a ruckus. "Wow, so many potential brothers...." Celestia thought, then noticed two foal leaning against a wall, not caring about the ruckus and other noises being made "What're they doing?" Celestia thought, looking at a unicorn colt and another colt as well. Well, he seemed like a colt, but he was actually a mixed matched creature of may animal parts. Celestia let go of her father's hand and walked towards the colt, and the other foal, and said "Hi, I'm Celestia! Who are you guys?"

"New arrival eh? Hey, I'm Discord! Welcome to the orphanage of "no adoption"!" The mixed matched creature said, looking down at the floor, thinking of why he ended up here in the first place. Discord wore baggy clothes, that looked like the wouldn't fit him if he wasn't tall for his age. He wore black jeans, and a long sleeved grey shirt.

"And I'm Sombra!" The actual colt said, who had a dark coat and mane plus tail, who wore black jeans as well, but a black t-shirt instead of what Discord wore. "So, who dumped you here?"

"What?" Celestia asked, confused as to why they were such downers "I'm not her to be up for adoption, I'm here with my dad to adopt a new brother! By the way, how old are you guys?"

"Both of us are five." Sombra said "We've only got each other here, and that's how things are!" Sombra continued, looking around angrily at the other foals, crossing his arms to where his hands were hugging his ribs.

"Yeah, we haven't exactly had a nice track record with the other foals." Discord said "Plus, they're all too boring for me." Discord continued, looking up at Celestia "You, on the other hand, are rather interesting!" he said with a blush. Discord didn't know what he though was interesting about her. Was it her wings, her horn, her nice personality. "Hey, wait a minute.... You're an alicorn! So, you're a princess?" Discord said, then began to laugh like crazy!

Solaris noticed his daughter talking to th two foals, and walked over to the three foals and said "So, I see you've met some friends! What're your names boys?" Solaris asked, as he was squatting so he could be eye level with the unicorn and.... other foal, still trying to figure out what he was exactly.

Discord stuck out his lion's paw and said "I'm Discord, and I'm a Draconequus by the way! I've the head of a pony, body of an eagle, sleek and elegant like a snake, as well as a snake tail, a forked tongue, eagle and bat's wing, and-!" The Draconequus said, before being cut off by Solaris.

"Whoa there! I only need your name my son, there's no need to describe what you are, I know what you are now! I've read about Draconequi when I was your age!" Solaris said, chuckling and smiling at Discord's enthusiasm "And yours' young Unicorn colt?" Solaris asked the dark coated Unicorn.

"I'm Sombra, your majesty!" Sombra informed the king, getting down on one knee and said "At least I've the knowledge o how to act around royalty, unlike my brother here!" He said with a snicker, and was met with a slap to the back of the head by Discord.

"Wow, you two seem to be very special. Don't you think?" Solaris asked the two young boys. After he was met by some sad looking nods, he said "Well, me and my wife are looking for a son. Any I think we may have found THEM" Solaris said.

"But I thought you said you were looking forA son?" Discord said, looking confused with his brother Sombra.

"True, but I think my wife will be pleased that we'll have two sons, and two daughters as well!" King Solaris said, as he stood up to find the manager of the orphanage to do the paper work to adopt the two boys, who looked happy to finally be adopted after so many interviews and rejections.

Once Solaris had found the manager of the orphanage, he filled out the paper work to adopt Discord and Sombra, who beamed with happiness that they were being adopted by royalty! After he signed the last line, the manager said "Well your majesty, Discord and Sombra are now you sons! Hope you two have a wonderful life with your new family!" As she hugged the boys one last time, then hand shacked King Solaris, then went back to her office, while her hooves clacked against the wooden floor boards.

"Well boys, let's head to your new home!" King Solaris said, putting the new princes on his shoulders, while Celestia walked with her father.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The three ponies and Draconequus entered the throne room, where they saw Queen Starlight, who greeted them with "Welcome home dear husband, and my beautiful daughter! Who are these two handsome colts?"

Celestia giggled and said, as she went to hug her mother "They're my new brothers, and your new sons!"

Sombra walked up to his mother, and said "Hello, I'm Sombra! King of-" but was cut off by his brother, who said to the queen of the night "And I'm Discord!" as the two went to hug their new mother.
