Rise of a Saiyan

Twilight looked at the building in the distance with a strange feeling rising in her gut as she breathed deeply.

"Come on, honey." A voice called from behind the Princess.

She turned around to see none other than Trixie, her lover, come close to her.

"We talked about this for quite some time, right? Are you still nervous?" The azure Unicorn asked with a sly smile.

"It's just... this is a massive step forward for us, and I don't know how to feel."

Trixie moved up in front of the Alicorn before turning and looking her in the eyes.

"Twilight, we have been over this. We are here, and we will leave with a child that we will raise from the ground up, if we have to. Alright?"

She then leaned in to kiss Twilight on the lips lightly before smiling to her.

"Now come on, let's go adopt a foal." She finished with a flick of the tail.

Twilight smiled before following close behind the other mare. After a minute, the two were upon the small brick building's entrance, where Trixie then knocked. In the span of seconds, the door opened to reveal a Pegasus mare with a blonde mane and a light blue coat with a Cutie Mark of a smile in a small sun. She smiled at the two before speaking.

"Hello, welcome to Sunny House! My name is Sunshine, I'm the caretaker here at the orphanage! Are you- oh my! Princess Twilight!" The mare then proceeded to bow. "To what do I owe-"

"Stop this, please!" Twilight cried, almost stomping in frustration. "I don't want anypony to bow to me! I just wanted to come down here with my marefriend and adopt a foal so we can finally raise a family! Is that too much to ask!?"

Sunshine slowly rose.

"Oh... Y-you want to adopt, from here? Really?" She asked, astounded.

"Yes! Thank you! Are there any here?"

The mare looked around nervously before leaning in to the two.

"In all honesty, ever since you became a Princess, we haven't had many foals in the orphanage at all, really. Everypony that wanted to adopt thought that since they were living with a Princess, now, the foals may as well have been encrusted with jewels."

Trixie frowned as Twilight let her mouth hang open. The azure mare shook her head before responding.

"Are you saying that we have to find another place to adopt?"

The Pegasus nervously shook her head.

"Oh, no, no, no! It's just, well... there's only one left... and he's, special, in some ways."

The two adopting mares looked at each other before turning a questioning gaze at the Pegasus.

"In what ways?" Twilight asked.

Sunshine sighed before clearing her throat.

"You see, the colt's name is Goku. I looked it up, and I can't seem to translate it in any way. All I know is that was his mother's last words when she died birthing him. His father died earlier than that due to unforeseen consequences. His family has had a bad history with their medical records and internal magic as well. His heart is unstable at times, and can become very weak at a moment's notice. I once had to take an entire week to care for him. But please, he's a great colt. He's kind, respectful, always smiling, and just downright good. I've never felt as good about any colt as I have Goku, and I know that if you gave him a chance, you'd love him too."

Trixie and Twilight looked at each other before smiling deeply and turning back to Sunshine.

"We'd like to see him." Trixie stated.

Sunshine nodded and turned towards a staircase behind her. The three made their way up to a room on the left side of the building. When the Pegasus opened the door slowly, the two mares were shocked to see what they did. There, in the room, was a small colt that looked as though he were a few months old. The colt was laying on the floor coloring something in with a pencil in his mouth, waving his mane back and forth. The mane was massive, and shot out in random directions, as if it were a weapon. And his tail...

"What's with his tail?" Twilight asked.

The part in question was very thin and had short, stubby brown fur, as opposed to the solid black of his mane. It looked as though it belonged to a monkey.

"It's always been that way, since he was dropped off, really. I always thought that it was kinda cute, you know?"

The three watched as the tail swished about in the air as if it had a mind of its own. Twilight then smiled widely at the spectacle.

"Well, I think that's something that would be interesting to study, at least. And he's such a cute little colt, isn't he, Trixie?"

Trixie huffed softly.

"I guess it is rather cute looking. How old is he, again?"

"He's eight."

Both mares gaped at the statement.

"Eight!? He looks like a foal!" Twilight nearly shouted.

The burst of volume caused a certain colt to turn his head towards the door. With a smile, Goku bolted up towards the door in a near instant and listened quietly to the mares on the other side.

"I know that he looks young, but that's also because of the fluxing magic around his heart. It's affected muscle growth and development for the little guy, but otherwise, he's still perfectly fine. I mean, if you don't want him, I could find another orphanage. I'm sure that there's one in Canterlot with a foal suitable for a Princess."

The lovers looked towards each other once more before Twilight sighed.

"No, just, give us a minute, alright?"

Sunshine nodded, prompting the two to turn and converse.

"I don't know, Trixie, I just don't think it's a good idea with his heart condition. What if I end up exposing too much magic to him and trigger some kind of heart-attack. I don't want something like that to happen to the poor colt."

"Twilight, I know you want what's best, but right now, I see a child that needs a home and help, and I know a certain mare that can offer both of those. She gave them to me once, and I fell in love with her." She added with a smile, holding a hoof to Twilight's chin.

Twilight smiled warmly as they lightly kissed once more.

"Should we do this now? Or do you think we should wait?" Trixie asked.

"We came here willing to take a foal home today, and there's one waiting for us right now. I think we should do it."

The two then turned to Sunshine.

"Sunshine," Twilight started, "we've decided that we would like to adopt Goku."

Sunshine then gasped and smiled, holding a hoof to her mouth as a pool of tears began to form.

"Oh my... it's... I never thought... Goku!" She called.

The red colt burst from the door and beamed at the older mares.

"Hi!" He stated.

"Goku, these, wonderful, beautiful mares want to bring you... home."

Goku stared with a confused look at Sunshine.

"But, what about here? And you?"

The mare bent her neck to meet his face.

"Goku, they're going to bring you to your new home. If you want, you could always visit. Just, don't forget me, alright?"

Goku blinked at Sunshine before turning to meet the teary gazes of Twilight and Trixie.

"Oh, hi! I'm Goku!" He stated with a cheer.

The mares exchanged a glance before going forward to wrap their forelegs around the colt with a cry of happiness.
