Delivery Interrupted

by kudzuhaiku
Sugarplum, the social worker with the motherly cutie mark, struggles through conflict to do a job that she doesn't want to do, delivering a foal by train to a terrible place. And her companion on the ride isn't making things any easier.

Sugarplum takes pride in doing her job, finding a home for foals and delivering them by train. But this job is one that she is having trouble doing. The foal in question has a destination, but it isn't one that Sugarplum wants him to go to. A terrible future awaits the foal after the tragic accident that left him an orphan. Sugarplum meets Glowbug, a unicorn, who makes her an offer to change the foal's fate, causing a terrible conflict as Sugarplum must try to figure out what is right for the foal and right for other ponies.

A side story to Mail Order Orphan and part of a larger still expanding 'verse.
