Defective Pony

"Cookies!" The sweet filly said jumping up and down.

Flame smiled and nodded, as he picked up an egg and carefully cracked it into the bowl. Doing this two more times. He got a look of awe from Ivy and Blast, both of which seemed too flabbergasted to know how the Pegasus did it.

"How do you do that? I swear you are secretly a Unicorn and you're messing with us all," Blast said sighing.

"I can just... Do it," Flame said shrugging.

"What next?" Blast said shaking his head.

"I can fly too," Flame Storm said grinning and laughing.

The filly was on the floor, looking up at both the stallions. She rubbed her head against the white stallion, looking at him cutely.

"I meant in the recipe goof ball. Ivy what kind of cookies do you like, around here's where the recipe changes depending," he said chuckling.

"I wike... a wot of cookies.... when... when I got dem...."

"Hm," the red Pegasus muttered.

"So any cookies are good cookies?" Blast Shield asked.

"Yus!" The green filly said nodding her head rapidly.

Flame watched the two ponies, the way Blast made Ivy smile was adorable. It was just like before.

"How about we make some simple sugar cookies then?" Blast asked.

"I'm pretty sure you used up all the sugar."

"Nu-uuuuuhhhh," replied Ivy.

"Hmmm.... probably... Chocolate chip then. I'll have to go shopping tomorrow. Not equip for a filly..." Blast said looking around.

"Where is it?" Flame asked.

Before the white stallion could reply Ivy yawned, big and loud. Her little face all scrunched up with the yawn. Soon she was flopped onto the floor, rubbing her eyes with her yellow hooves. Ivy looked up at Blast and pulled on his leg.

"In the cabinet. Aw you tired little one?"

"A wittle...." She said nodding.

"I'll get them, you can put her to bed."

Blast nodded as he picked up the small filly in his good hoof and put her onto his back. He walked down the hallway from the kitchen. Leading the filly out, he walked past the living room and into the next room to the left of the living room. In it was a large bed, big enough for an adult. Blast placed Ivy down and put the covers over her. He smiled, kissed her on the head and turned the lights out.

"Do... Do yoo got.... Got a toy?" Ivy asked.

"Of course, I'll go get you one," he said smiling as he walked out.

Soon Blast Shield returned, he was holding an earth pony plush. It was a soft yellow with a brown mane and tail. It had pretty blue eyes and was just big enough for a small filly such as Ivy. He gave her the pony and smiled.

"Sleep well my little Princess."

Blast returned to the kitchen to see Flame done mixing up the batter. The red Pegasus looked at Blast sternly and curiously.

"Now I need to know. Where did you find that filly?"

"Wandering the streets..."

"What?!"

Blast nodded at his friend sighing softly.

"You gotta be kidding me! How long has she been here with you? And how long was she on the streets?! Heck, how old is she?!" Flame Storm exclaimed.

"She's only been with me a few hours... I haven't had the chance to contact the guard..."

"I wonder if there have been any missing foals.... I can call them, how's that sound?" Flame suggested.

"Go ahead."

Flame went over to the phone and picked it up. He dialed the number of the guard and waited for somepony to pick up. He tapped his left hoof, waiting for the captain to pick up.

"Finally. I need to ask you something sir," Flame said.

"Yes of course. But please listen."

"There's a filly with Blast... Yes I know. He hasn't... Sir please listen. He hasn't had the time. He's only had her for a couple of hours. We need to know if there... Sir! Listen to me! We need to know if there are any missing foal reports!" Flame paused waiting for the captain to reply. "Thank you sir."

"There are no reports. Maybe it's because she's been missing for a day?" Flame suggested.

"Well... that would explain it... I assumed at first she got separated from her mother on accident... But she got so upset when I brought her parents up...."

"I see... That seems unfortunate. I wonder why she got so upset. Do you have any ideas?" Flame asked.

"Well I have two ideas... One is her parents died, extreme case but not impossible.... Or... sadly more likely.... They abandoned her...." Blast suggested.

"That can't be right though. Why would they abandon their own filly? That doesn't seem right!"

"Because she has both wings and horn? Maybe her blood father assumed his wife had been cheating..."

"WHAT?! Why would... No that can't be right. Ponies don't go and cheat with the Princesses. It's not possible!"

"I know that. And you know that. But some silly towns ponies might not have the common sense to realize that," Blast said shaking his head.

Flame sighs unsure of how to deal with this.

"It could just be a genetic defect, somehow she got horn and wings from a Unicorn and Pegasus parental unit.... Which would make her a Pegicorn not an Alicorn," Blast suggested.

"Maybe..."

"We should probably finish the cookies, or at least the batter since that can be put in the fridge..." Blast said as he helped to put the batter away as Flame cleaned up.

"This doesn't settle well with me."

"I understand, but we got to wait. I'll take her to the guard to see what we can do. Would you like to stay longer?"

"Well I dunno if I can. I got to go now though. Sorry Blast, see you again soon," Flame Storm said as he walked out.
