Chapter 1: Melody of sadness ad the luck of happiness (Rewritten/new)

It was a perfect sunny day in the magical land of Equestria. The birds were chirping, the townsfolk were happy, and the skies were beautiful. It was the perfect day for a pony to go on a picnic with their friends. One of these ponies was Ponyville's very own super party pony, Pinkie Pie. She was the town party planning master, and needed little to no reason for a party. She was preparing to bring some cupcakes she made earlier in the week to the swimming hole where she and her friends all agreed to meet up at a play around in the water. "OK Mr. and Mrs. Cake, I'm heading out now!" she called to her employers/landlords.

"Ok dearie, you just be careful now," called Mrs.Cake, who was a blue earth pony with a pinkish red mane and tail and three cupcakes formed as a triangle on her flank.

"Don't you worry Mrs.Cake! I'll be back a little later," Pinkie reassured her.

"Ok, have fun Pinkie!" called Mr.Cake, who was an earth pony like his wife, except he was bright orange with a regular orange mane and tail and a triangle formed of carrot cakes on his flank.

"Ok! Be back soon!" Pinkie called while hopping happily away to meet her friends. She loved her friends very much, even though she considers all of Ponyville her friend, she has a special place in her heart for her Element of Harmony friends. While on the way out of town, Pinkie Pie decided to take the scenic route to the swimming hole.

However, as she was hopping, she heard a faint sound that shouldn't be, the sound of a small filly crying. She then quietly trotted up to where the crying was coming from. "Is somepony there? It's ok, you don't need to be scared." Pinkie said in a soft tone as not to scare whoever was crying. All she got was faint whimpering as a response. She then listened carefully, and she could tell it was coming from the bushes. When she peered into the bushes, she was shocked at what she saw. It was two little ape like creatures. They were hairless all over, except for the blonde mane on the top of one of their heads and the other had long brown hair. She also noticed they were wearing clothing, The blonde one was wearing a sapphire blue dress, and had strange but matching blue shoes on it's hind legs. And the brown haired one was wearing what appeared to be the type of dress you'd see royalty wearing.

"Hey, are you two ok?" Pinkie asked in a soft tone trying to soothe the creatures. When the creatures looked up to see Pinkie looking at her, they yelped and immediately scooted back trying to get away. This made Pinkie's eyes water up. As she extended her forelegs to try and comfort the creatures, the creatures began shaking like a leaf.

"P-p-please, d-d-don't h-h-hurt m-m-me!" the blonde haired creature, obviously the filly that was crying, said with fear in her crystal blue eyes.

"I-I-I can guarantee neither of us t-t-taste good at all!" the brown haired creature said, who also sounded like a filly.

This made Pinkie look on at her in sadness. Then she remembered something from her fillyhood. "Shh, it's ok, I won't hurt either of you, and I promise nopony will ever hurt you." she said in a soft and caring tone, which seemed to help calm the creatures down, but they was still shaking a bit. "Good, now come over and let me try to help you," she said trying to calm the creatures down as best she can. The creatures looked at each other and back to her surprised.

"R-r-really? Y-you w-want to help us?" the blonde creature asked with confusion in her voice, but from Pinkie's perspective, she had surprise in her voice, as if she was never cared for or shown any love before.

"Yes, I want nothing more than to try to help you two. Also want to be your friend." Pinkie said with reassuring happiness in her voice. To say that the creatures was overcome with happiness would be an understatement. They had tears of shear happiness stinging their eyes as they ran up and gave Pinkie the tightest hug they could give. "Shh, it's ok, sweetie, don't cry." Pinkie said while rubbing their backs soothingly.

"I-I-I'm not crying out of sadness, it's just my caretakers would yell at me for even thinking of trying to make friends." the blonde creature said burying her head into Pinkie's chest fur crying her eyes out.

"A-and my M-mommy and D-daddy said that friendship would never help me be a good queen!" the brunette creature said before burying her face into Pinkies chest fur again.

This made Pinkie gasp with shock. 'The poor little cupcakes. Wait, caretakers? That would mean, the blonde one is an orphan! And queen? That means this brown haired one is a princess! Pinkie Pie thought to herself with tears stinging her eyes. "Shh, it's ok, those mean meanie pants' of caretakers or parents won't ever hurt you two again. I promise." Pinkie said trying to calm her down. "My name is Pinkie Pie, and I love making new friends and throwing parties! What're your names?" Pinkie said introducing herself.

"M-my name is Melody Smith and I'm 4 years old" the blonde creature said, now with no trace of fear when she first met Pinkie Pie. "It's nice to meet you Pinkie Pie." Melody said feeling more comfortable around her new pink friend.

"And m-my name is Princess Clover Harver. It's nice to meet the both of you!" the brown haired creature said calming down. "Oh, and please don't bow to me, I don't like my role." she asked the two.

"Well, it's nice to you too Melody and Clover, and you can just call me Pinkie, all my friends call me that!" Pinkie said with happiness. "Hey, would you two like to come and meet my 6 closest bestest best friends in the world?! I am sure as cupcakes they'll all love you two!" Pinkie said with excitement gaining a small giggle from Melody and Clover.

"Ok, Pinkie, but what if they aren't as welcoming towards us as you were?" Melody said with worry in her voice. This made Clover nervous as well.

"Yeah, and what if they're all affected by my bad luck?" Clover asked with fear in her voice.

"Oh don't worry your cute little wittle heads. They're all super duper nice! And I don't think anything bad will happen, so don't you worry," Pinkie said reassuring Melody and Clover, Clover was confused at how Pinkie was so sure.

"But how can you know for certain we'll be safe?" Clover asked curiously.

"I have this sixth sense that allows me to tell if there is danger, or if something good, like a rainbow will happen! I call it, my 'Pinkie Sense!" Clover nodded in understanding. "GREAT! And I'm sure my friend Twilight can tell us what kind of creature you two are, and maybe I can ask Rarity to make you two another set of clothes?" Pinkie asked her small friend.

"Ok, that would be lovely, thank you," said Melody in the cutest voice Pinkie has ever heard in her life.

"If she can she make something with a clover design, I would love that!" Clover added.

"Oh I'm sure Rarity can make a clover design! She is amazing when it comes to designing outfits! Anyhow we're going to go to the swimming hole to meet up with all my friends, so let's go!" Pinkie said bouncing happily away with Melody and Clover following close behind.

Author's Note

This has been the first chapter in a "mommy Pinkie Pie" story. Give props to xd77 for giving me the idea for the story.

Chapter 2:Melody of Friends (Rewritten)

After happily bouncing with her new friends, Pinkie continued her way to the swimming hole. "Pinkie Pie, if you don't mind my asking, where am I?" Melody said in her soft yet kind tone.

"Well my little cupcakes, you two in the land of Equestria, a land fill with magic and ponies. There is a total of four races of pony, Earth Ponies, like me and my friend Applejack, Pegasi, which are ponies with wings, like my friends Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy, and unicorns, which are ponies with horns on their heads, like my friend Rarity, and then there are the all powerful royal Alicorns, who are ponies with wings and horns. My friend Twilight Sparkle is the most recently crowned princess of friendship. There are three others like Twilight, there's Princesses Celestia and Luna, the princesses of the sun and moon respectively, and then there is Cadence, the princess of love, and the Crystal Empire." Pinkie finished up her explanation, and turned to see a look of wonder on little Melody's face but worry on Clovers face.

"There are unicorns here?!" she asked with an excited squee.

"Yeperroni! My friend Rarity is the best fashion designer in all of Ponyville and she's a unicorn as well," Pinkie said hearing a happy sigh from Melody. Aww, she must love unicorns! Pinkie thought to her self. Just then she looked up and saw all her friends gathered at the swimming hole. They all turned to see Pinkie and they all smiled. As she walked over to them, she felt a shaking on her back. Pinkie turned back to see little Melody and Clover shaking like leaves on her back. "Sweeties, what's wrong?" she asked in a soft tone.

"W-well, Twilight is going to be the first real princess I've ever met other than Clover, what if she doesn't like me?" Melody asked in a quiet and nervous tone.

"A-and what if my bad luck causes something b-bad to happen to her and your friends?" Clover asked with tears threatening to escape.

"Shh, don't you worry sweethearts, Twilight is the princess of friendship remember? I'm sure she would love you two as friends! And Clover, like I said before, my Pinkie Sense will tell me if there is danger or not," Pinkie said trying to reassure them.

Melody just nodded, "Ok Pinkie, I would love to have more friends, since you were the first one I've ever been able to make without fear of being hurt by my caretakers." Melody said with a bit of shakiness in her voice.

"And I always wanted friends, but my mommy and daddy told me that a princess shouldn't even think of friendship, so I think making friends with your friends will be nice," Clover said with a small yet broken smile.

Pinkie smiled at them for being willing to go and meet her friends, but was frowning on the inside. What kind of mean meanie pants' would keep such sweet and lovable fillies like you two from making friends she thought to herself. She continued to walk toward the group of ponies below.

"Hey Pinkie, where the hay have you been?!" Rainbow Dash asked demanding an explanation.

"RAINBOW, HUSH! Pinkie must have had a good reason for being late." Rarity said with a flick of her mane.

"Yeah, where've y'all been Pinkie?" asked Applejack with a quirked eyebrow.

"Sorry about being late everypony, but I found two some ones who needed help, and friends." Pinkie said explaining herself.

"Well, can we see who you found?" Twilight asked looking at her pink friend.

"OK! But just so you all know, this little ones aren't ponies, so try not to do anything to scare them, ok?" Pinkie asked, looking at her friends. They all nodded in understanding. Pinkie then turned to her back, "It's ok sweeties, these are all my friends. They're all super nice and won't try to hurt either of you." Pinkie said in a comforting tone.

Hearing Pinkie give the ok, Melody and Clover slowly poked their heads out of the poofy mane they were hiding in. They then turned to face the new group of ponies. "H-hello everyone." Melody said in a shaky tone, obviously nervous about being around unfamiliar faces.

"I-it's nice to meet all of you," Clover said also nervous about being around new faces.

"The blonde ones name is Melody, and the brunette one is Clover, and they are the sweet little cupcakes I found all alone." Pinkie explained. This made her friends all shocked to see that such a small children is all alone. "Melody, Clover, it's ok, my friends will never try to hurt either you," Pinkie said trying to keep her calm.

"Why howdy there Melody and Clover, Ah'm Applejack, and Ah work over at the Sweet Apple Acres farm." Applejack said smiling at the small children with a tip of her Stetson.

"Aww, aren't you two just the cutest little things ever! Anyway, my name is Rarity, the top fashion designer in all of Ponyville. It is wonderful to meet you darlings!" Rarity said with a blush.

"Hey kids, it's nice to meet you. I'm Rainbow Dash, the fastest flyer in all of Equestria!" Rainbow Dash said with a smug smirk.

"Oh my goodness! You two are just so cute! I'm Fluttershy, I just love to take care of animals. big and small! I can show you two my animal sanctuary, if that's ok with you?" Fluttershy said with a squee.

Twilight was the last to come up, and when she did, Melody and Clover bowed her heads respectfully. "Now now, there's no need to bow sweethearts. My name is Twilight Sparkle, and I am the princess of friendship. If you want, I can show you two a few spells and a bit of magic!" Twilight said giving her a blushing smile. Twilight's only response was two kind and gentle hugs around the neck.

"B-but my mommy and daddy always said if I ever met another princess or a prince I should always show respect," Clover said with shakiness in her voice.

"Wait, so does that mean your a princess too?" Twilight asked looking at Clover.

"Yes, but, I would give anything to give up my place as royalty!" Clover said, with her voice breaking.

"Are you saying, you never wanted to be a princess?" Rarity asked quite shocked.

"If being a princess means I can't have friends, or toys, or sweets, then I don't want to be a queen," Clover said looking at the fashion designer.

"A princess is allowed to have friends as she wishes, so I can understand what you're trying to get at," Twilight said, before looking at Melody.

"You really are a magic pony princess! I've always wanted to see a real pony princess up close!" Melody said with happiness in her voice.

"Well, I haven't been a princess long, but I am magical, same with Rarity," Twilight said motioning to her and her pearl white unicorn friend.

"Well either way, it's still nice to meet you all!" Melody said with a happy smile before going back to Pinkie's grasp.

"Same here!" Clover said before going back with Melody to Pinkies grasp.

"Hey Twilight, I would like to know if you know what kind of a creature Melody and Clover are." Pinkie asked her lavender alicorn friend.

"I think I might've seen a description of them before in this book I brought along," Twilight said levitating a book titled "Mythical creature's of Equestria". She then opened the book and flipped the pages until she found something that matches Melody and Clovers description. "Aha, here we go! According to the book, Melody and Clover are humans." she said looking at her friends and Melody and Clover.

"HUMAN?!" the other 5 friends said in surprise. They now had to give the bets they all made to a certain mint colored unicorn.

"Yep. It also says that they're bipedal, meaning they walk on two legs, and also have appendages known as hands, which are located on their arms, which help them pick up stuff, eat with, and some other stuff." She said looking at the little girls who was all comfortable in Pinkie's loving embrace. Then Twilight read over a section that explains a human's diet, and after reading about their diet she then looked at Melody. "It also says that their omnivores, meaning they eat both fruits and vegetables, and *shudders* meat." she said with reluctance. This drew gasps from her friends. "But there is a section where it says there are humans that eat little, to no meat, and find the protein necessary for their health in eggs, and nuts. They also use a meat substitute called tofu." she then reassured them, which aloud them to breathe a sigh of relief.

Twilight then looked over a section called 'Human and animal relationships'. "Hmm, interesting," Twilight said with interest.

"What does the book say, darling?" Rarity asked wanting to know more about what Twilight is reading.

"It's a section on human and animal relationships, it explains how humans treat animals with love and respect, giving them food and shelter." Twilight explained, then her eyes widened when she read over a section of the types of pets humans can have. "The book also says that among the animals that can be care for by a human, ponies are a common farm or grassland pet." Twilight said. This definitely surprised the friends.

As she was reading the Human and animal section, she soon read over a passage that drained the color from her face. This got everyone very concerned for their friend. "Hey Twilight? Are you ok? You look like you saw a ghost." Rainbow asked like something was nothing.

"The book also says that most humans aren't as kind towards animals as others. Some are even cruel to animals, ponies included." Twilight said with hardly any breath left. This fact made the friends all gasp in horror, as they all looked at Melody and Clover worriedly.

"B-but I love animals! I never like the thought of hurting any poor creature!" Melody said now scared of what might happen with tears threatening to shed uncontrollably.

"And I'm not even allowed near an animal!" Clover said with tears in her eyes as well.

"Shh, it's ok sweeties, we can tell you two never like being mean towards anything." Twilight said trying to calm her down. This attempt failed and they started to cry softly yet hard in Pinkie's chest fur. This made all the friends tear up as they look on at them in sadness. After a few minutes the two girls cried themselves to sleep. This made Pinkie speak to tell her friends something concerning Melody.

"Girls, I need to tell you something about Melody and Clover," she said sounding distressed. This made her friends all look at her curiously. "I found them on my way over here in a bush, all sad and alone." this made her friends all gasp. "When I tried to comfort them, they were scared to death of me, and I didn't do anything to make them scared. And after I told them I wanted to be friends, Melody told me that she never was allowed to even think of friendship because of her super duper mean meanie pants' of caretakers, and Clover said that her mean meanie king and queen mommy and daddy forbade her from even thinking of friendship, because they thought it was a waste of time," This made the friends all extremely shocked, not only for them not being allowed to make friends, but for Melody being an orphan.

"I know! How about we go and introduce Melody and Clover to Celestia? I'm sure they would love to meet each other." Twilight suggested.

"Hmm, ya know, that's a pretty good idea Twilight! Maybe she can help us get the love and friends that Melody and Clover truly deserves." Applejack said with a smile.

"Pinkie darling, if a lady could ask, may I take Melody and Clovers measurements so I can make her a new outfit?" Rarity asked politely.

"Sure thing," Pinkie said. Fluttershy then carefully trotted up and put a towel in front of where they were.

"A little something to keep her from getting dirty." Fluttershy explained. Pinkie nodded and laid Melody on the towel, where Rarity then proceeded to take the measurements. After she was done, she then put the measurements in her saddlebags.

"I shall have her new outfit done by tomorrow." Rarity said to Pinkie Pie.

"Oh, and Clover asked for something in a clover design," Pinkie told her unicorn friend, who nodded in understanding.

"Ok, sorry we had to cut our outing short Pinkie, but I think these little cutie's well being is more important." Twilight said with the others nodding in agreement.

"Oh, don't worry, once we figure out what to do with this cute wittle cupcakes we can go from there." Pinkie reassured her.

"Ok, girls, I will write a letter to Celestia explaining our visit. We need to be ready first thing in the morning." Twilight explained.

"Ok, see you all tomorrow!" Pinkie exclaimed happily while trotting away.

"Alright, ah best be heading back to the farm now, so ah guess Ah'll see y'all later." Applejack said walking towards her farm.

"Yeah, I guess I'll head back too, see you girls!" Rainbow called while flying back to her cloud house.

"I hope the princess will be welcoming towards the little dears, I would hate to think of what would happen to Melody if she were to be sent back to that horrible orphanage, or Clover to those awful parents!" Fluttershy said sounding worried for the little girls.

"Don't worry Fluttershy, I'm sure the princess will love Melody and Clover, ok, I'll see you tomorrow." said Twilight back to Fluttershy.

"Ok, see you tomorrow!" Fluttershy said back while trotting towards her little cottage.

Meanwhile with Pinkie Pie,

After bidding adieu to her friends, Pinkie made her way back into town, heading for her home, of Sugercube Corner. Along the way, she noticed looks of shock on the townsfolk. I'm sure once they get used to seeing these little cuties, then they'll won't be so shocked,Pinkie thought to her self. Just then she turned to see that her home and workplace was just around the corner.

Walking in, she called "MR. AND MRS. CAKE? I'm home!" she then heard some tiny hoofsteps and turned to see little Pound and Pumpkin Cakes. "Hello Pound and Pumpkin! Do you know where your mommy and daddy are?" Pinkie asked the twin foals. They both pointed towards the kitchen to see that Mrs.Cake was coming out. She looked very surprised to see her employee back so soon.

"Why hello Pinkie Pie. Why are back so soon? It's a beautiful day outside." she asked looking at her employee with curiosity.

"Well, here's the thing," and so Pinkie began to explain how and where she found Melody and Clover, how they first reacted to seeing Pinkie, and taking them to see her friends, getting info on what they were, and planning to go see the Princesses the next day.

"Well, isn't that sweet of you to do for the little sweetie, if I can ask, can I see the dears?" Mrs.Cake asked. Pinkie nodded and turned to show her boss the little girls who were sleeping with a soft smile on her face. "Aww, they're so precious!" Mrs.Cake said quietly as not to wake the little girls.

"I know, and I can't believe anypony would be so mean to her by keeping them from making friends," Pinkie said with a frown. Mrs.Cake frowned at this fact.

"Well, I can guarantee they'll will never have that bad of abuse again." Mrs.Cake said trying to lift their spirits.

"You're right! I'm going to go and tuck them into bed and make some salad for dinner! Also, where's Mr.Cake?" Pinkie asked not seeing the orange stallion anywhere.

"I sent him out to pick up some more sugar," Mrs.Cake replied. "We were running low on sweeteners." Mrs.Cake replied with a smile.

"Oh, ok!" Pinkie just said before trotting up the stairs.

Mrs.Cake just sighed, "I hope the princess knows what to do with those little sweethearts." she just said to herself before turning towards her foals. "Come on you two, let's go put you up for your naps." she said to her foals who were just babbling and playing on the floor.

Meanwhile upstairs, Melody and Clover had woken up to find they weren't outside anymore. They then remembered what all transpired during the day. They looked to try and find Pinkie Pie, but to no avail. Clover then heard hoofsteps coming down the hall. She turned towards the door to see Pinkie with a bowl of what appeared to be salad. "OH! Good, you're up! I made you two a nice salad for dinner. I hope you like it!" Pinkie said giving Melody and Clover a bowl and a fork.

Melody took a bite out of the salad, and moaned with happiness. "It's delicious Pinkie!' Melody said with a smile.

"I haven't had anything this good in my whole life!" Clover commented.

"Well, I'm glad you two like it! I also have cupcakes to give you for dessert!" Pinkie said pulling out a chocolate cupcake with vanilla frosting on it. This really surprised Melody and Clover as they kindly took their cupcakes. After a while, they finished the salad, and looked uneasily at the cupcake. "What's wrong sweeties? You don't like the flavor combo? I can get you two another one if you don't like these one." Pinkie said trying to make sure Melody and Clover were comfortable.

"No, nothings wrong, it's just I was never allowed to have dessert back at the orphanage. The caretakers would always keep me and the other orphans from all sweets, so I've never had a cupcake." Melody said with a frown.

"And Mommy told that sweets would ruin my royal status," Clover said with a frown of her own.

Pinkie was horrified by this. Not only being aloud to have friends, but also not being aloud to have dessert after dinner. These caretakers shouldn't even be allowed to work at the orphanage if this was how they treated the orphans. And sweets would never tarnish a royal status. "Shh, don't worry, you never have to worry about those meanies ever again. You're among friends who only want you two to be happy." Pinkie reassured her.

When Melody and Clover bit into their cupcakes, they were overtaken by a feeling of amazement.This is what sweets taste like?! Oh, if Pinkie and her friends let us stay here, then I'm going to like it here! the two girls thought to themselves. They then looked up to see Pinkie looking at her with a concerned look. "I love the cupcake Pinkie!" Melody said with the biggest smile she ever made.

"I'm so happy that you let us have sweets for the first time!" Clover said with a smile almost as big as Melody's.

"Aww, I'm glad you liked them cupcakes," Pinkie said with a smile. "Hey would you two like to come and meet my employers? They're just as nice as my friends." Pinkie said with a beaming smile.

"Ok Pinkie, that would be nice, thank you!" Melody said returning the smile. Clover nodded in agreement.

"There's no need to thank me silly, I just want you two to be as happy as can be!" Pinkie said motioning Melody to climb on her back. After Melody and Clover climbed onto Pinkie's back, Pinkie then said "Ok, let's go!" And with that she trotted happily out of the room to go meet the Cakes.

As they trotted downstairs to meet the Cakes, they saw Rarity in the main parlor. When Rarity saw the three, she smiled and trotted up to them. "Why hello Pinkie and Melody and Clover darlings. How are you this fine evening?" she asked in a kind tone.

"We're good Rarity, we just had dinner for the night, and Pinkie gave me and Clover our very first cupcakes ever!" Melody exclaimed in a happy tone.

"Why that's good sweetie, now if you two can close you eyes, I have a surprise for you!" Rarity said in a soft yet excited tone.

"Ok Rarity," and with that, Melody and Clover closed their eyes and extended their arms out, waiting for their surprises.

With a giggle, Rarity levitated something out of her saddlebags. "Ok Darling, open your eyes!" she told the little girl. And Melody did so, and when she opened them, they were overjoyed to see 2 new outfits. Melody's daytime dress was all Ruby red, with matching red shoes, while the other looked to be pajamas, which were spring green with a floral design on it. Clovers daytime dress was spring green had a clover pattern on it, just as she requested, and the pajamas were ocean blue, with clovers on it.

"Oh Rarity, they're beautiful!" Melody said in a happy tone with Clover nodding happily in agreement. Rarity and Pinkie giggled and blushed at their excitement. "Pinkie, is it ok if we go and put on our pajamas?" Melody and Clover looked up at the pink pony with hopeful smiles.

Pinkie nodded, "Yes sweeties, the bathroom is down that hall 2nd door on your right." Pinkie said pointing towards a hall. Melody and Clover nodded and went to go and change.

"Oh they're is just so cute Rarity! I hope the princesses will let them stay." Pinkie said to her unicorn friend with a smile.

"Oh I know! And they have given me much inspiration for new outfits!" Rarity said looking at the hall their new friends just went down.

"Who gave you inspiration Rarity?" said Mr.Cake coming out from the kitchen. "Your new human friends?" he asked with a quirked eyebrow.

"YEP! And I can tell you this, they are as sweet as a whole ocean of cakes!" Pinkie said with a beaming smile.

"Ok Pinkie and Rarity, we're all dressed for bed!" they all heard a voice from the hall, and when they turned to see the source, they all d'awwed at the outfits little Melody and Clover were wearing.

"Aww, your so cute!" Pinkie said with a beaming smile.

"I agree, the green really brings out the sweetness in your heart Melody, and Clover, your blue night gown brings out the calmness in you." Rarity commented. Rarity was then tackle hugged by Melody and Clover, but being as small as they are, Melody and Clover were only able to nudge Rarity.

"I really love what you did with this outfit! It's so warm and comfy, unlike the pj's we were forced to wear at the orphanage." Melody said looking up a Rarity with happiness in her eyes.

"And all the night gowns I was required to wear at my parents castle were all too itchy," Clover said with the same amount of happiness in her eyes.

"Aww, I'm glad you love them darlings!" Rarity said looking down at Melody and Clover with a warm smile.

"Melody, Clover sweeties, this is Mr. Carrot Cake, one of my bosses and landlords." Pinkie said introducing her co-boss.

"Hello Mr.Cake! It's nice to meet you," Melody said in a happy tone.

"Hello," Clover said with a shy smile.

"It's nice to meet you to little ones," Mr.Cake replied smiling at the small child. Just then they all saw Mrs.Cake coming in from the back.

"And this is Mrs. Cup Cake, my other boss and landlord." Pinkie said introducing the blue Earth mare,

"Aww, you two even cuter than when Pinkie Pie described you, anyway, it's nice to meet you sweeties," Mrs.Cake said looking at the young ones.

Melody and Clover both blushed when she was called cute, "It's nice to meet you too Mrs.Cake!" she said in a polite tone before giving the cutest yawn ever, which was mimicked by Clover.

"Well, it looks like someone's a little sleepy head!" Pinkie said giving Melody and Clover a nuzzle. "I'm going to go put you two to bed, ok sweeties?" Pinkie asked her little friends.

"Ok, nighty night everyone!" Melody said to everyone.

"Goodnight everyone!" Clover said giving another cute yawn.

"Good night Melody and Clover!" they all called to them.

After making her way back to her room, Pinkie tucked Melody in her bed. "Goodnight Melody and Clover," Pinkie said giving a goodnight kiss to the two girls.

"Goodnight...mommy" was the last thing Melody and Clover said before going to sleep. Pinkie looked at her with a new found happiness that made her eyes water.

Author's Note

Well, this certainly was a dramatic chapter I whipped up. And how will Pinkie's friends react when they find out what Melody and Clover said to Pinkie? Stay tuned.

Chapter 3: Melody of the sun and moon and the luck of a plan

It was in the middle of the night when Pinkie heard the faint whimpering of someone. She looked to see that Melody and Clover weren't in bed with her. This made Pinkie really scared. As she turned to try and find Melody and Clover, she saw something that smashed her heart into smithereens. There in the corner of Pinkie's room, was Melody and Clover huddled up with their arms holding their legs close to themselves, without a cover, and shivering. Pinkie knew she couldn't allow her friends to suffer like this, so carefully trotting over to the girls, Pinkie tenderly scooped them up in her forelegs and carried them back to her bed. As she carefully walked over, Melody and Clover slightly stirred in her sleep. Blinking their eyes open, they saw Pinkie carrying her over to her bed. This caused Melody and Clover to shake in Pinkie's grasp. Pinkie then sat on her haunches, and tenderly cooed to them, "Shh, it's ok, we can go back to sleep in my bed." Pinkie said trying to soothe her.

"R-really? I would be beaten back at the orphanage for sharing anything." Melody said surprised.

"A-and I wasn't even allowed near mommy and daddy's room at night, even when I had a nightmare," Clover said with shock.

Pinkie quietly gasped Not being allowed to make friends and no sweets wasn't enough?! And what kind of parents won't comfort their own child?! she thought angrily, but she then calmed down when she remembered she had to soothe the girls, "Shh, it's ok, nopony will ever beat you for sharing, and you can sleep with me if you have a bad dream, so there's no need to be nervous, ok?" she asked with a tender smile. The girls just nodded. "Great! Now let's get back into a comfy bed." And they did just that. "Goodnight Melody and Clover," Pinkie said giving Melody a loving kiss on her forehead.

"Goodnight, mommy" Melody and Clover said giving the worlds cutest yawns before falling asleep. Pinkie was awake enough to hear what they said, and let a tear of happiness roll off her cheek.

The next day

Sunlight peeked through the widow of Pinkie's room. When she felt the sunlight coming through the window, Pinkie start to stir I her sleep. Blinking her eyes open, she then looked down to see little Melody and Clover snuggled up next to her. Perhaps Princess Celestia knows if this decision is the right one she thought to herself. She then proceeded to nuzzle Melody and Clovers cheeks, "Melody, Clover, it's time to wake up sweethearts," Pinkie said in a soft tone of voice. Melody and Clover then began to stir in their sleep. Blinking their eyes open, they looked up to see Pinkie smiling down on them. "Good Morning sweeties," Pinkie said to her in a kind tone.

"Good morning Pinkie," Melody and Clover said looking up at the pink mare with a smile of their own.

"Would you two like some breakfast? We've got some oatmeal if you want some." Pinkie offered.

"Oatmeal? I've never had anything to eat besides hot and cold mush." Melody said looking a bit nervous.

"And I was only served really fancy breakfasts, so I've never eaten oatmeal before," Clover said looking down in shame.

"It's ok, I can make it nice and sweet for you two, depending on what you would like in it. And not having oatmeal is not something to be ashamed of Clover, so don't let it get you down," Pinkie reassured the girls.

"If it's ok, can I have cinnamon oatmeal?" Melody asked huddling up to Pinkie.

"Me too?" Clover asked curling into a ball and laying against Pinkies side.

Pinkie's heart melted at the gesture, "Of coarse sweethearts," Pinkie said giving Melody and Clover a hug.

"Pinkie, can we get dressed while you make the oatmeal?" Melody said lowering herself to the floor.

"Sure! I would like to see those pretty dresses Rarity gave you!" Pinkie said with excitement. "I'll be downstairs with your breakfast." Pinkie informed the two girls.

"Ok, Pinkie, we'll will be down soon." Melody said before grabbing the dress and heading into the bathroom with Clover. And with that Pinkie hopped happily out of her room to go and get Melody and Clovers oatmeal ready. As she walked downstairs, she saw her friends, including Spike, all seated at a table in the corner. They all looked up from their table to see Pinkie trotting in happily.

"Hey girls, hey Spike what's up?" Pinkie asked while trotting up to her friends.

"Well, we all thought we would meet here before we go and see Celestia and Luna." Twilight explained. "And Spike wanted to come and meet Melody and Clover." she said turning her attention towards the baby dragon.

"Yeah, Twilight came back last night telling me about your new friends. So what're they like?" Spike asked curiously.

"Well, they're sweet like an entire ocean of cupcakes, but really timid around somepony new." Pinkie said explaining Melody and Clovers personalities. "Well, they'll be down in awhile, so I'll go and make their oatmeal." Pinkie said before bouncing away into the kitchen.

As Pinkie began to cook the oatmeal, Melody and Clover both came downstairs in their ruby red dress and clover patterned dress.. The ponies and Spike all turned to see her, and the d'awwed at what they all saw. "Aww, you are so cute! That red really brings out your sweet nature Melody, and that green clover dress really suits you Clover darlings" Rarity said giving a blushing squee. Melody and Clover blushed when they were called cute. But as soon as they saw Spike, they squeaked and ran behind the counter. This made Spike worried.

"Was it something I did?" he asked looking up at Twilight.

"Of course not Spike, they probably never seen a baby dragon before." Twilight reassured him.

"Actually, I-it's because the caregivers always scared any girl who broke the rules by forcing them to look at scary pictures of reptiles." Melody explained, now feeling comfortable that the dragon that was with her friends was nice.

"A-and mommy and daddy told me that dragons would eat me if I didn't behave!" Clover said, now feeling silly for being scared of Spike.

"Oh my, that definitely isn't the right thing to do," Twilight said looking at where Melody and Clover were.

"And I prefer jewels," Spike explained.

"Dragons eat jewels?" Clover asked curiously. Spike nodded.

"Well, if you all are friends with Spike, then I guess we can try to overcome our fears." Melody said now coming out of hiding with Clover, and walked over to meet Spike. "Hello Spike, I'm Melody, it's nice to meet you," she said a little nervously but with a smile.

Clover walked up to him next, but as she was about to talk, she tripped and fell on the floor. The ponies all rushed over to see if she was alright, "Don't worry, I'm used to tripping, being as unlucky as I am, anyway, my name is Clover. It's nice to meet you Spike," Clover said with a small smile.

Aww, Twilight was right, they are little sweethearts. But why would Clover think she's unlucky? Spike thought to himself, "It's nice to meet you too, I'm Spike, Twilight's number 1 assistant." he said with a proud smirk.

Just then, Pinkie came back in with a bowl on a tray. "Here you go sweeties, now be careful, it's still very warm." Pinkie said giving Melody and Clover the tray, and a spoon.

Melody and Clover carefully took the first bite, and their taste buds melted at how sweet it tasted. Mm, this is what cinnamon and oatmeal taste like?! they thought to themselves before looking up at Pinkie, "It's yummy Pinkie, thank you!" Melody said before taking another bite. Clover nodded in agreement.

Pinkie and her friends all felt their hearts melt at their sweet natures. "Aww, your welcome sweetie," Pinkie said rubbing up and down on their backs. After a few bites, the girls had finished their oatmeal. "My you two were hungry weren't you? Here let me take that tray and those bowls for you," Pinkie said before taking the bowl and tray into the kitchen.

"Sweethearts, we are going to take you both to see two other Princesses like me, ok? And don't be scared, Celestia and Luna are both really nice, so there's no reason to be scared," Twilight said to the small children.

"Ok, Twilight, if you're sure," Melody said, feeling a bit uneasy.

"Don't worry Melody, darling, the princesses would never dream of doing anything to hurt either of you." Rarity said rubbing Melody's back.

"Ok, I will go now and wash my face," Melody said going off to the bathroom. Clover went with her, tripping along the way.

"Gosh, I hope what you girls find out about them isn't super bad," Spike said looking up at the ponies. They all looked down at the drake and nodded in agreement. While they were all waiting for Pinkie and the girls to come back, a Pegasus guard came in and spotted the pony friends.

"Princess Twilight, we have been given orders to bring two small human girls with us back to Canterlot for audience with the royal sisters." he said with a stoic expression..

"Very well, we will be out momentarily. OH! And try not to scare Melody or Clover," Twilight instructed the guard, from which he nodded and trotted back outside. As he left, both Pinkie and the girls came from where they were. "Alright girls, we leave for Canterlot Castle right away," Twilight informed the two, and with that the friends, save for Spike, all left. "Are you sure you don't want to come with us Spike?" Twilight asked turning back to look at the young drake.

Spike only nodded, "Yeah, someone has to stay and watch the castle while you gone. And don't worry, I will have everything cleaned up before you come back." he reassured the lavender alicorn, who just nodded and left to go and catch up to her friends.

As they were walking, the friends all noticed that the townsfolk were all looking at Melody and Clover and their new outfits, and d'awwed when they saw the little girls in their dresses, even a familiar pair of fillies, one grey and one pink, had to admit they were the cutest things ever.

"Sweeties, look around you," Twilight hinted to the small child. As Melody and Clover looked around, they blushed when they noticed everypony staring at them with warm smiles, but stayed close to Pinkie being the shy little girls they ate. They soon arrived at the carriages, and the guards also d'awwed at the little girls. "Alright girls, we leave now." Twilight said taking a carriage with Applejack. Rarity took a carriage with Rainbow Dash, and Fluttershy took the carriage with Pinkie and Melody and Clover. As soon as they were seated, they took off for Canterlot.

I'm sure the princesses will know what I should do for Melody and Clover, Pinkie thought to herself. Just then, they saw Canterlot coming into view. "Look sweeties, there's Canterlot city!" Pinkie said to the little girls pointing towards the mountains. When they saw the city, they was amazed at how the buildings looked like castles.

"Wow, this place is so pretty!" Melody said with a twinkle in her eyes. This made Pinkie give her a warm smile. As they were about to land, Melody asked, "Pinkie, is that castle?" she asked still with that adorable look in her eyes.

Pinkie had butterflies in her tummy when she heard the little girl ask. "That's right pumpkin, and we're going to go and meet the princesses inside." Pinkie replied. This made Melody excited to meet two more princesses, but also a bit nervous because she thought they may not be welcoming towards her. The group, led by Twilight, continued to the entrance of the castle where they saw two guards stationed just outside the door.

"Princess Twilight Sparkle and friends, Princess Celestia and Princess Luna are awaiting your arrival." one of the guards said giving them the right of way. The group then proceeded inside. When they reached the main hall, they saw, at the top of the stairs, the royal sisters, Celestia and Luna. The group all bowed respectfully.

"*giggle* Arise my little ponies," Celestia spoke with a motherly tone as not to scare Melody or Clover. "I received your letter Twilight, now if I may ask, where is the precious little ones?" she asked looking around to try and find the little girls. She then noticed a shaking in Pinkie's tail. Pinkie felt the shaking in her tail, and turned to look in her tail.

"Melody, Clover, it's ok, the princesses aren't scary, they're really beautiful," Pinkie said trying to soothe the poor dear children. Poking their head out of Pinkie's tail and looked at the princesses with wonder in Melody's eyes, but fear in Clovers eyes..

"Aww, you two are even cuter than what Twilight described you as! Any way, my name is Princess Celestia, the regal sister of the sun, which means I control the daytime." Celestia said introducing herself.

"Aww, you two are just so cute! My name is Princess Luna, I am the princess of the moon, and the night." Luna said introducing herself.

Melody politely walked towards them, and bowed her head respectfully, and the spoke, "Hello your majesties, my name is Melody Smith, it's nice to meet you." she said in a soft tone.

Clover walked up, but tripped when she came out from Pinkies tail. "Don't worry, I'm ok. It's nice to meet you Princess Celestia and Princess Luna, I'm Princess Clover Harver," Clover said with a small tone.

"Are you sure you're ok?" Celestia asked with concern. Clover only nodded. "Well, as long as you're sure, anyway, those dresses are the cutest I've ever seen!" Celestia said with a squee. But then she saw pain in Melody's blue eyes and Clovers gray eyes and frowned. This made Luna concerned.

"Tia, what's wrong?" Luna asked worrying for her sister.

"Children, tell me, is something troubling you?" Celestia asked in a soft tone to keep Melody and Clover from getting scared. Pinkie and the others became concerned for the girls. Melody and Clover then looked up to Pinkie for reassurance.

"It's ok sweeties, we only want you to be loved, and not alone." Pinkie said trying to help them.

Melody took a deep breath and started to speak with a hurt and broken tone, "I l-lost m-my m-mommy and d-daddy w-when I w-was o-only t-two y-years o-old." this made the mares gasp in horror. For such a sweet child to lose her parents at such a young age. "A-after t-they d-died, I-I w-was u-unlucky enough t-to b-be brought t-to the c-cruelest o-orphanage on E-Earth. T-there, I was a-always b-beaten f-for not being able to s-speak p-properly, s-sharing my b-bed and b-blanket with a-another orphan, f-for singing to try to m-make everyone h-happy, and w-worst of a-all, I-I w-wasn't a-allowed to even t-think of f-friends." The mares were horrified that such cruelty even exists. "T-the c-caretakers a-always m-made s-sure t-to m-make m-my l-life even m-more t-terrible, l-like b-blaming m-me for m-my p-parents d-death, a-and not allowing m-me t-to even l-look a-at s-sweets, a-and l-locking u-up a-any orphans that b-break the r-rules, a-and they u-use toys as f-furnace f-fuel." Melody couldn't hold back anymore and turned and hugged Pinkie while crying long and hard. The mares and Clover were all deeply saddened for Melody as well as enraged by the cruelty of these "caregivers". After a few minutes, Melody cried herself to sleep.

"A-and for me, my mommy and daddy were the king and queen of Transylvania. My story is similar to Melody's, except I was always yelled at, a-and f-f-forced t-t-to s-s-sleep outside, s-s-sometimes, w-w-without anything to keep m-m-me warm, a-a-and t-t-they said that I s-s-should n-n-never even l-l-let m-m-me c-come into t-their room I-if I had a n-n-nightmare," this made everypony's hearts break that she was void of comfort from her family. "A-a-and t-t-they s-s-say t-t-that I s-s-shouldn't w-w-waste t-t-time w-w-with stuff like f-f-friendship. A-a-and after a w-w-while, I b-b-became c-c-convinced t-t-that I was the unluckiest girl in the world," now Clover couldn't hold back, and cried long and hard into Pinkies chest fur, until she too fell asleep.

"The poor darlings certainly did nothing to deserve the cruelty of those charlatans! I will have to make future dresses that are extra special for them, they deserves it after all they've been through." Rarity said with tears stinging her eyes.

"Yeah! I never in my life thought ponies would sink that low!" Rainbow Dash said angrily.

"Ah certainly hope those varmints get what's coming to them!" Applejack snorted.

Fluttershy was chocked up with so much anger and sadness she screamed out, "HOW DARE THOSE MEANIES HURT THIS LITTLE PRINCESSES?!" she seethed with anger put into every word.

Pinkie's mane an tail both deflated, "The poor sweeties, to have to suffer the loss of her parents was bad enough, but that level of abuse?! I will have to plan an extra special party for them, and make extra special treats to go with!" she declared with determination.

"Celestia and Luna, if I may ask, is there a way we can alert the human authorities of this awful orphanage, as well as tell Clovers parents off?" Twilight asked trying and failing to hold back a flood of tears.

"There is Twilight, and we will need to bring Melody along to help us prove the orphans misery, and as for Clover, we will tell her parents that she will no longer be living with them," Celestia said with a furrowed brow.

"And I know where Melody and Clover came from, since they made a wish for a better life for themselves and the other orphans from Melody's orphanage." Luna said inciting gasps from the other mares. "What? You spend some time on the moon and you can hear the dreams and wishes of other worlds." this definitely surprised the mares.

"Um, Princess Celestia? Can I ask you something?" Pinkie asked with tears still glazing her eyes.

"Yes? What is it Pinkie Pie?" Celestia asked the pink pony, whose mane and tail were still deflated. This made Luna and the others curious.

"Well, after we give those mean meanies from the orphanage and those awful parents their just desserts, I was thinking if you would allow me to adopt Melody and Clover?" she asked the sun princess with hope in her eyes. To say that the other mares were surprised would be an understatement, they all had their jaws dropped like bricks. Gaining her bearings, Celestia looked at the party pony.

"I would love to allow you to be the mother Melody and Clover needs, but are you up to the task? Taking care of a child is a lot of responsibility." Celestia said, explaining what being a parent is like.

"I'm sure, and Melody and Clover needs a mommy to love her so badly after hers was unfairly taken from her." Pinkie said with her mane and tail gaining their poofiness again. Celestia nodded in understanding.

"Very well, I shall have the adoption papers ready once we get back." Celestia said making Pinkie even happier to the point she had tears in her eyes.

"Thank you so much Princess, and I pinkie promise to love Melody and Clover with all my heart." she said doing all the motions of the promise. Melody and Clover must've heard what they were discussing because they cuddled closer to Pinkie with a warm smile on their faces. This made everypony tear up with happiness, even Rainbow Dash, and she didn't care.

"All right, now let's go!" Celestia said before teleporting everypony out of the main hall. After she teleported away, a pair of yellow and red eyes, who saw everything also was teary eyed.

"So, there is unnecessary abuse about on Earth, eh? I guess I better go and spy on this orphanage. Secret spy agent Discord mission: expose the cruel orphanage caregivers and terrible parents." Discord said before teleporting away to follow his pony friends.

Author's Note

And here is chapter 3! How sad that Melody had to go through all that. And how can those awful orphanage heads do that to an already miserable girl?! And it looks like Discord will be helping too! What will happen next? Stay tuned!

Chapter 4: Melody of Justice and chaos (New/rewritten)

After teleporting to Earth, Discord proceeded to finding the orphanage and try to expose the awful things that happen there. With a small trace of that little girl Melody's scent and magic residue, I should be able to find the orphanage no problem. he thought to himself before teleporting away to the orphanage. When he saw the orphanage, he was horrified to see the state it was in. The windows were all broken, there were huge holes in the wall, and it looks like a rundown little mansion. Better go into stealth mode he thought to himself before teleporting inside, and turning invisible. When he got in, he was shocked to see what he saw. The adults who he assumed were all the caregivers treating the children like slaves, using whips, barking orders, and all sorts of awful things that are too harsh for words. He then heard what sounded like a plate crashing on the floor. He teleported, still invisible, to where the sound came from, and when he got there, there was a small boy on his knees trying to clean up the mess before one of the caregivers came in, but was too late, a big burly man stormed over to the small child and started to yell at him.

"YOU INCOMPETENT BRAT! IS THIS HOW YOU'LL TREAT YOUR NEW MOMMY AND DADDY?! BREAKING ALL THEIR DISHES?! Oh wait! You'll never get a mommy or a daddy, because your too worthless and insignificant! And as for the rest of you, no lunch until all chores are done!" he spat before stomping out leaving a now softly crying young boy. The others felt bad for him and tried to comfort him.

"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry!" he cried softly.

"Shh, it's not you fault Pedro, it was an accident," said a young girl trying to comfort him.

"I'm sorry Molly, I didn't mean to drop the dish, I swear!" Pedro cried out.

"I BETTER NOT BE HEARING ANY BLUBBERING IN THERE!" roared the same man from before.

"We better get back to work," Molly said now feeling scared. Pedro nodded and went back to cleaning the mess. Discord was disgusted at how poorly they treat the children. He now knew that he needed more proof, and so he teleported away to get more evidence of the evil of the "caregivers".

Meanwhile, with the ponies,

After teleporting out of the castle to Earth, the ponies with a sleeping Melody and Clover proceeded to find the police department. After some walking, they found the police, then Celestia proceeded to talk to them. When the police saw the alabaster alicorn, the sit their coffee out in shock. "Are you the authorities?" she asked in a soft motherly tone.

This made the cops even more surprised when she spoke, "Uh yeah, we're patrol officers." one of the officers replied.

"I will explain a little later, but right now I need your help. It's concerning an orphanage," Celestia explained.

"Look, Mrs. horse lady, all orphanages are helped whenever they can be," the other cop said.

Celestia just shook her head, "No it isn't about that, it's about foal abuse. The caregivers of the orphanage in this town abuse the children in so many awful ways," Celestia explained. This made the cops gasp.

"Mark, you call the station and tell them our new case," the first officer said.

"Already on it Frank," the officer known as Mark said while getting ahold of the police station.

"How did you know about this abuse, and how long has it gone on?" Frank asked the regal sister.

"I do not know how long, but how I know, is because one of the sweet little girls over with Pinkie Pie," Celestia explained pointing her hoof in the direction of her friends and sister. When Frank saw the little girls, he slowly walked over to Pinkie.

"Excuse miss? Are you the one known as Pinkie Pie?" Frank asked looking down at the pink pony.

"Yep! And all I have to say, is that the mean meanies of that horrible orphanage were so cruel to her and the others." Pinkie explained.

"Well my friend Mark is getting ahold of the station right now, so me and the other cops down at the station will launch a full scale investigation of this orphanage." He said giving Pinkie a smile. "But, how did this little one get to your world anyway? And what of this other one too?" he asked with a quirked eyebrow looking at Clover.

"That would be my doing," Luna replied, with the officer now looking at the blue alicorn. "While I was beginning to start my shift in ruling our land, I heard the cry of young Melody and Clover," Luna explained with a stray tear rolling down her cheek. "She wished for a better life for her and the other orphans." she finished with a proud smirk. "And as for Clover, she wished for a new mommy and daddy who would comfort her when ever she was sad, and we want to try to convince her she isn't unlucky at all," Luna said giving the small princess a smile.

"Hmm, well, you all seem to be the right crowd for the little girls, and they seem to like you all to, so, I'll let it go at that," Frank said seeing Melody and Clover snuggle up to Pinkie. He then smiled warmly at the small children. Just then they all heard Frank's radio.

"Hey Frank, we need to go, the chief wants all available officers at the orphanage right away!" they heard Mark's voice on the radio.

"10-4 Heading back now," Frank spoke into his radio. "Sorry about that, go to go!" Frank said before heading back to the car. As soon as he got in, they dove in the direction of the orphanage. Just as they drove off, the ponies heard the cutest yawns. They all turned an saw Melody waking up.

"Oh, *yawn* good morning everypony," Melody said in a sleepy tone.

"Good morning everypony," Clover said with a sleepy tone to rival Melody's

"Good morning Melody," the ponies all said in unison. Blinking some more, Melody and Clover noticed they were all back on Earth.

"Why are we back on Earth?" Melody asked looking at the ponies curiously. Celestia trotted up to the group.

"We're here because we want to put an end to the abuse the children at the orphanage are receiving." she explained with a warm smile. "And also alert Clovers parents that she is going to live with us from now on," she added, smiling at the princess child.

Melody looked worried, "But what if we aren't able to prove the truth about the orphanage?" she asked looking nervous than ever.

"And what if my Mommy and Daddy find us? I don't want to go back to our castle!" Clover said practically crying.

"Don't worry none sugarcube, that's why we brought you along," Applejack reassured her. Melody looked at her curiously, then Luna walked up to her.

"I know a spell that will allow me to project your memories," Luna explained clarifying what Applejack was saying.

"Oh! That makes lots more sense!" Melody said with a smile.

"And I shall try to do the same with a royal court with Clovers parents," Luna said, seeing Clover breath a sigh of relief.

" I have a feeling we may need to go to a courthouse, so let's all try to find the courthouse.," Twilight said looking at the others as they all nod in agreement.

"So you're wanting a courthouse?" a voice said which made the ponies and Melody all jump. Turning they saw what appeared to be a young teenage colt with long brown hair, and emerald green eyes. He was wearing a red t-shirt, denim jacket, and denim pants, and was carrying what appeared to be a sword, the type you would see a ninja with.

"And who the hay are you?!" Rainbow Dash yelled, but the new human didn't flinch.

"Calm yourself, I am a friend, my name, is Shade, Shade Goodrivers," the boy said introducing himself. "And if your looking for the courthouse, just follow me, me and my family are attorneys, so I should be able to help you," he said before walking away.

"Should we?" Twilight asked the group.

"Well, he did say he knows where the courthouse is, so I say lets follow him," Rarity said.

"Yeah, and I would've been able to tell if he was a lyin', so lets go," Applejack said before taking off after Shade. The others nodded and they too, followed the mysterious Shade.

Meanwhile with Discord,

After seeing all he had to, Discord was quietly shedding tears at what horrors he had seen. Each child who would trip, or break something, they would be yelled at, and beaten on for just making a faint whimper about the accidents, and a few of the children would be beaten on if they even tried to talk back. Discord was infuriated by the "caregivers" cruelty. He wanted so badly to cause some chaos for the caregivers, but his fury soon simmered down when he heard the front door being broken down, and he soon saw police officers piling in the orphanage to find every adult. As soon as the last of the adults were caught and brought out, one officer came up to the adults, and said, "You're all under arrest for child abuse!" The "caregivers" were all shocked to hear about this.

"Why are we being ..." one of the staff members started before cut off.

"Save it! You all have the right to remain silent! Anything you say can and will be used against you in the court of law! Get these scumbags to the courthouse!" the same officer said to his fellow officers.

"YES SIR!" the others replied before taking the staff into custody. Discord was liking where this was going. Hmm, a court of law, eh? I better follow them just to give my evidence. he thought to himself before teleporting to the courthouse.

"Chief, should we ask some of the orphans to come with us as witnesses?" another officer asked the chief.

"Good idea, we need all the evidence we can get. Find some kids to bring with us and take them to the courthouse!" the chief instructed.

"Yes sir!" the officer said before going to ask some of the kids to come with them.

Later, at the courthouse,

After meeting the ponies, Shade led them down the street to the courthouse. "Alright, here we are, this is where you can call in a court case, so I'll leave you to do just that," he said before walking into the courthouse, before being stopped by Twilight

"Really, we can't ask anymore of you Shade," Twilight said with a kind tone.

"Suit yourself, but my family can be quite persuasive," he said in a tone that the ponies now couldn't resist.

"Ok, we would like you help," Celestia said with worry in her voice.

"Ok, then lets go and get the court ready for the trial," Shade said leading the ponies into the courthouse.

While they were doing that, the police truck carrying the orphanage staff pulled up in front of the courthouse. "Alright, let's get these dirt bags in," the driver said unbuckling his seatbelt. His partner nodded and they both got out of the truck, and saw the other cops pulling up.

"Good work Johnson and Leven, now lets get these dirt bag scum into the court." the chief said giving the ok for the officers to take the prisoners in.

Meanwhile inside the courtroom, Shade was getting everything ready for the trial. The judge was still surprised to see that his clients were talking multicolored horses, but after Celestia explained everything, the judge let it go. Just then, they heard the main doors opening and in came in the head of the orphanage staff. The others were in the other room waiting to be called in. When Melody saw who they were bringing in, she was trembling like a leaf in Pinkie's grasp.

"Shh, it's ok, I'll make sure that meanie doesn't hurt you." Pinkie whispered to her. When the head looked over at the prosecutor's side of the court, she gasped when she saw horses, but looked down at Melody and glared daggers into her soul. Melody shook even harder, forcing Pinkie to turn her away form the head.

"All rise for the honorable Judge Simon," the bailiff said, causing all the people in the room to rise up. The judge raised a hand which was the ok for everyone to sit.

"This court is now in order, please state the reason," the judge said to Shade.

"Certainly you honor, this case is for the state vs. Wilma Mc Riley, and the staff of the Mc Riley's home for children, reason being, child abuse, my clients state that the staff do horrible, unspeakable things to the children." this made Shade, the judge, the jury, and everyone else in the room gasp in horror.

"How does the defendant plead?" the judge asked the head of the orphanage.

"Not. Guilty." she said with venom in her words. This made the ponies all glare at her.

"Well, if the prosecutor would call the first witness to the stand?" the judge said looking at Shade.

"Certainly, I would like to call, Melody Smith to the stand," Shade said looking at the cute little girl, who carefully walked up to stand. "Please state you name to the court," Shade asked politely.

"Melody Smith," Melody replied gaining d'awws from everyone in the court.

"Would you like to tell us your age, and how long you stayed at the orphanage?" Shade asked in a soft tone.

"I'm four years old, and I've been living at the orphanage for two years after m-my m-mommy and d-daddy passed away." she replied with tears already stinging her eyes. This made everyone gasp and stated a rouse of clamor in the room. The judge banged his gavel.

"Order in the court! Proceed." he said to Shade.

"Now sweetie, I want you to tell us the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth, ok?" he asked to which Melody nodded. "Good, now tell the court if the treatment you and your fellow orphans received from this woman and the rest of staff was nice?" he asked carefully.

"N-no! They always picked on us for being orphans, and they always would beat us for making a mess or crying, or not being able to sp-sp-speak by the age of three!" she said to Shade, who was very shocked to hear this, as well as the rest of the court. "P-plus they would beat us for having dreams, for wanting sweets, or even wanting friends!" she cried out, inciting gasps from everyone, the judge included. "A-and if they say we misbehaved, they would lock us up in the cold basement with hardly anything to keep us warm, and t-t-they would usually starve us for a week!" Melody cried. Now the court was in favor of the children's side of case.

"You did well, now go back to your friends," Shade told her, to which she got out of the chair, and scurried back to Pinkie. Then everyone in the courtroom was glaring disappointingly at the head of staff, who only sneered in disgust at Melody.

"Would the defendant like to call someone to the stand?" the judge asked the head.

"Yes your honor, I would like to call my second in command, John Fenmill, to the stand." the head replied still with anger in her voice. The judge nodded to guards by the door, who called for John. After making his way to the stand. he sat down and Shade came up to the stand.

"State your name to the court," he said to the man.

"John Fenmill," he said bluntly.

"Now tell us how long you've been working at the orphanage." Shade demanded.

"For 6 years," John deadpanned.

"Now, do swear to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth?" Shade asked holding the book of law up to him.

"I do solemnly swear," John replied placing his hand on the book and raising his other one.

"Good, now I want you tell the court, truthfully, if you and the other staff members have been treating the children properly," Shade said with a quirked eyebrow.

"Well, of coarse we treat them fairly, but we do take strict disciplinary action if one of the sweet angels misbehaves." John said with a fake smile, but Applejack could tell he was lying.

"OBJECTION YOUR HONOR! Ah can tell he's lyin'," Applejack said with venom in her voice. This made the court gasp, and then turn their attention to John.

"You would seriously believe a talking horse? I doubt she even knows what objection means anyway being a blonde country girl," John said trying and failing to sound innocent. This racist remark infuriated the court, Applejack especially.

"THAT DOES IT! Bailiff, get this man out of my sight!" the judge said banging his gavel. And the bailiff did just that. After John was out of everyone's sight, Luna kindly tapped Shade's shoulder.

"Shade, if you can, can you call me to the stand? I have an idea," she asked kindly. Shade nodded.

"For the next witness, I would like to call Princess Luna to the stand!" Shade said looking at the blue alicorn who nodded and trotted up to the stand. "Please state your name to the court," he asked the moon sister.

"Princess Luna, the royal sister of the moon," she explained.

"And what is it that you do?" Shade asked with a quirked eyebrow.

"I raise the moon in my homeland of Equestria, and I can also hear the dreams and wishes of all who sleep, even those not of Equestria," she explained. This made everyone in the court very surprised. Then Shade had an idea on how Melody and Clover got to Equestria, and held the same book up to Luna.

"Now your highness, do you swear to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth?" Shade asked the lunar princess.

"I do solemnly swear," she said placing one hoof in the book and raising the other one.

"Ok, now, did you hear any wishes the night before Melody and Clover came to Equestria?" Shade asked.

"Yes, and their wishes sounded so heart filled yet, when she spoke her wish, they said it in a scared and broken tone," Luna elaborated. This made everyone give Melody sad and sympathetic smiles, except for the head of staff who was glaring at the poor girl with hatred.

How dare that brat make a wish behind my back?! she thought to herself with anger.

"Now then, what was their wish?" Shade asked wanting to know more.

"Melody wished for a better life for her, and her friends, and better caregivers who can show the orphans love." Luna explained. This made everyone glare angrily at the head of staff. "And as for Clover, she wished for a family that would only show her kindness, love, and comfort, away from the king and queen of this 'Transylvania' country of which she spoke of," Luna said explaining Clovers wish.

"Oh, so she's a princess, but she doesn't want to be a princess anymore?" Shade asked, to which, Luna nodded. "Ok, now then, before I called you up to the stand, you said you had someway of exposing the evil of Melody's 'caregivers', am I right?" Shade asked. Luna nodded. "Ok, now then, would you be willing to show us?" he asked. Luna was about to answer when there was a flash behind Shade. When he turned, he was face to face with Discord.

"DISCORD?!" the ponies all gasped with surprise.

"Yes, it is I, the master of chaos, Discord the draconequss, and I am here to ease the burden of Luna, is it's ok with you, your honor?" he asked looking at the judge, who had a dumbfounded expression, but nodded. "Good, Luna, why don't you go and take a breather?" Discord suggested.

"Very well Discord," Luna nodded before switching places with Discord.

"Ok, now then, state your name to the court," Shade asked Discord.

"As I said, I am Discord, the draconequss master of chaos," he explained.

"Now Discord," Shade said holding up the book, "Do you solemnly swear to tell us only the truth?" he asked.

"I do solemnly swear," Discord said placing his eagle talon on the book and raising his bear claw.

"Good, now tell us what proof you have of the evil of the orphanage," Shade politely asked.

"I think it would be easier to show you, rather than tell, and you honor? You may want to stand next to us for this," Discord said looking at the judge.

"Very well," he said walking down next to Shade and Discord.

"Great, now I must warn you, this will be rather heartbreaking to show," Discord said before pulling his goatee and projecting a movie from his eyes. And what he showed shocked everyone. The adults were all brutally abusing the poor orphans, whipping them, yelling at them, keeping them from food, and tripping them just for an excuse to yell at them. The court was horrified to see such cruelty.

"I've seen enough!" the judge said before going back to his podium. "Has the jury reached the verdict?" he asked looking at the jury and seeing a man with a black t-shirt that says "JERK" on it standing up.

"We have. We the jury find Wilma Mc Riley, and the rest of the staff of the orphanage unanimously guilty of all charges." he said glaring at the ex-head of staff with the other jury members.

"Then by the power infested in me, and the state of law, I sentence the former staff of the Mc Riley home for children to prison for the rest of their lives!" the judge said before banging his gavel.

"WHAT?! YOU CAN'T DO THIS!" Wilma yelled before being tazed and dragged off with the other staff members. "IF I CAN'T TAKE CARE OF ANY OF THE BRATS, THEN I'LL JUST TAKE THEM BY FORCE!" Wilma screamed before throwing a chain around Melody, who was scared to death of what will happen. The judge was about to order her to be restrained, before the court heard the swishing of a sword. They looked up, and saw that Shade had sliced through the chains. This certainly surprised everyone. The judge banged his gavel and told the guards to have Wilma taken away.

"This case is now adjourned, you may go back to your lives," the judge said looking at the ponies.

"Thank you sir," Celestia said before walking out with her sister, student, and friends, with Shade. "That was very noble of you Discord, to come and show us the horrible evil of that place." she said looking at a blushing draconequss.

"Aww, it was nothing, and you're right, Melody and Clover are sweetest little cutie as they come," he said looking down at the small girl.

"Well, that's all well and good, but what will happen to the orphanage?" Twilight asked with worry for the children.

"I'll buy it," Shade said with everypony looking surprised at him, "My family is the richest family in the country, we make 500 million dollars a day, and with my ridiculously high allowance, I can buy out an entire city block," he explained. This made the ponies all look like they were poisoned, Discord included. "I'll have the rickety old building torn down and replaced with a more stable and better looking building, and I can hire all the hands I need to help out, and make sure everyone there is happy, well dressed and well fed." he explained gaining d'awws from the ponies. The orphans that were brought as witnesses heard his plan, and tackle hugged him.

"Thank you!" Pedro said with a happy smile.

"But where will we stay while the new orphanage is being built?" Molly asked looking concerned.

"Not to worry, my family estate has plenty of guest houses, so that answers that, and don't worry about food, I will pick some up when I come to town." Shade reassured her. Molly nodded before turning towards Melody.

"Wow Melody, that dress is so pretty!" Molly complimented Melody.

"Aww, thank you! Rarity made it for me!" Melody said before looking at the white unicorn, who gave her a blushing wink.

"Uh, Melody? There's something I want to ask you and Clover," Pinkie said before trotting up to her.

"Is something wrong Pinkie?" Melody asked concerned.

"What ever it is, I can help anyway I can!" Clover cried, not wanting Pinkie to be upset.

"No, just opposite, I was wondering, if it's ok with you two, if you would allow me to, adopt the both of you, maybe?" Pinkie asked with tears stinging her eyes. This made Shade, Molly, and Pedro gasp, looking at Melody and Clover who had tears in their eyes.

"R-really? You want to be our mommy?" she asked with her voice breaking out of sheer happiness. It was only a nod from Pinkie that made Melody and Clover tackle her with a hug. "Oh, thank you Pin- er, I mean Mommy!" she said crying softly with happiness. "I love you mommy!" Melody said, which made everyone's eyes water at the beautiful scene before them.

"I love you mommy!" Clover said, crying with happiness.

"Mommy loves you so much too, my sweet little wittle angel cakes!" Pinkie said.

"I'm so happy for you Melody, but how will we still hang out if your in another dimension?" Pedro asked a little bit sad that Melody was going away.

"Inter dimensional Skype," Shade explained which made everyone look at him curiously. "If Discord can enchant some computers to receive telecommunications from different dimensions, you might be able to keep in touch with Melody, even though she's in a different world." he explained making everyone nod in understanding.

"Ok, so how do we get these computer things?" Rainbow dash asked.

"Remember, you're all talking to a rich kid," he deadpanned, making Rainbow blush out of embarrassment. "I'll head to the electronics store and pick up some computers for everyone, as soon as I go get my Hummer," he said before walking to his estate.

"I think this calls for a party!" Pinkie said pulling her party cannon out of nowhere.

"There will be a time for parties once Shade gets back with those 'computers' that he said he was going to go and get, so if you can just hold back until then, Pinkie?" Celestia asked her party pony subject, who just nodded in understanding.

"How did you pull that canon out of nowhere?" Pedro asked Pinkie quirking an eyebrow.

"Kid, it's just Pinkie Pie being Pinkie Pie, just leave it at that, your head will hurt a lot less," Rainbow Dash explained. Pedro nodded in understanding. Just then they saw a crimson red hummer pull up in front of the courthouse.

"All aboard that's going aboard!" Shade called to the group, who walked to where Shade was, and got in to his car. As soon as the last of the group got in, he then turned on the engine and started to drive towards the electronics store.

A few hours later,

After getting the computers back to the guest rooms at the Goodrivers estate, Discord left to go and get the other orphans. While he did that, Shade got his technicians to install the computers into the rooms, and installed the Skype program on to the computers.

"Good, now we just have to wait for Discord to come back with the orphans, and after I show them all to their rooms, then we can have that party Pinkie talked about in the car." Shade said looking at the pink pony with a soft smile.

"YIPPE! Now I got to go and get some snacks for the party!" Pinkie said before bouncing happily away.

"How does..." Shade started before being silenced by Rainbow Dash.

"Dude, it's Pinkie, just leave it at that," she said with a deadpan tone.

"Well, I must be off, I might as well bring the Cakes to the party, so they can celebrate it with Pinkie," Celestia said before lighting up her horn.

"WAIT!" they all jumped when they saw Pinkie standing at the end of the hall, "Can you also invite my family too? My parents and my three sisters?" she asked with puppy eyes.

"Very well," Celestia said before teleporting back to Equestria. As soon as she was gone, Discord teleported in with the orphans.

"Whelp, here we are! You new home until renovations are done to the orphanage!" Discord said smiling at the children who were giggling at the funny looking creature.

"I have all the decorations set up downstairs, so we're ready for the party!" Pinkie said happily bouncing away. Shade, curious if Pinkie was really done, went downstairs, and his jaw dropped when he saw that the main foyer was decorated from top to bottom in various decorations. He was about to ask how she did it so fast, but he remembered not to question Pinkie. He then saw a flash of light and he turned to see Celestia had returned with ponies he assumed were the Cakes, and Pinkie's parents and sisters.

"Hey everypony!" they turned to see Pinkie bouncing happily towards them.

"Why hello Pinkie dearie, if I may ask, what is this all about?" Mrs.Cake asked with a quirked eyebrow. With the others nodding in agreement.

"It's to celebrate my adoption of Melody and Clover!" she happily replied. This drew gasps from her parents and sisters. Then one of her sisters came up.

"Pinkie, if you don't mind my asking, but whose Melody and Clover?" she asked in a sort of an unenthused tone.

"HERE WE ARE!" came two happy calls, and when they turned, their hearts melted at what they saw. At the top of the stairs, was Melody in a dress that looks like a cake. The bottom half looked like a chocolate cake, the torso looked like whipped cream with sprinkles, and the shoulders were cherry red. And as for Clovers dress, it was done up in a bright and sunny yellow color, with the same green clover pattern on it.

"Aww, you're the cutest little things ever!" Pinkie's mother commented with her husband and daughters all nodding in agreement with warm smiles of their faces.

"Did Rarity make those dresses sweeties?" Pinkie asked looking at the little sweethearts..

"That's right Mommy!" Clover said in a tone so incredibly cute, that even the toughest of the tough would melt at the mere sight and sound of her. Just then all the ponies and orphans all piled into the main foyer.

"Now we just need Spike, and then we can get this party started!" Pinkie said happily with anticipation.

"I shall go and get him, and the adoption papers." Celestia said before teleporting away.

"Melody, Clover sweethearts, these are my parents, Clyde Pie and Limestone Pie, and these two are my little sisters, Inky and Blinky, and or big sister, Maud." she said introducing her family.

"Hello everyone, it's nice to meet you all!" she said in such a tone, that made their tears already well up, even Maud.

"And I'm Clover!" Clover said with an equally cute tone.

"Well. it's nice to meet you to sweeties, and I'm happy that you're going to be my granddaughters." Clyde said with a smile.

"Aww, you two just to cute for words! And I would love for you to call me grandma," Limestone said with a tender smile.

"If they're going to be our grandma and grandpa, does that make you three our aunties?" Melody said with the cutest gaze in the history of cute gazes.

"I guess that would make sense." Maud said with a soft smile, with Inky and Blinky both nodding happily in agreement. Just then, Celestia teleported in a flash of light, with Spike on her back, carrying the adoption forms.

"Ok, children, quiet!" Celestia called to the chattering orphans with a motherly tone. "We are all here to celebrate the Pinkie's adoption of Melody Smith, and the ex-princess, Clover Harver. Now Pinkie, when your ready, just sign the legal document." She said to the pink pony showing the documents.

"I am ready," Pinkie said as she grasped the quill and signed the on the dotted lines. After signing the adoption forms, Pinkie gingerly cradled Melody and Clover like babies, "Thank you Princess Celestia! I promise to give Melody and Clover the everlasting love and comfort every child deserves." she said tearfully giving Melody and Clover a kiss on their foreheads.

Melody was also happy to the point she had tears. "Thank you Princess Celestia! I now have a new mommy and sister that I know will be so much fun!" she said happily snuggling up to Pinkie. This action melted the hearts of everyone there.

"Thank you Princess Celestia, I can now be happy with my new mommy and new sister!" Clover said giving Pinkie the cutest smile ever,

"Well? Is this a party or not?" Shade asked putting on some sunglasses.

Author's Note

And here is the 4th chapter in my story. HA! Take that wicked staff people! And now, Melody now has a mommy that she desired so badly. And the mysterious Shade turned out to be a real nice guy, what with saving Melody from the evil caregivers, the buying the orphanage, and giving it a makeover. The next chapter will be the fourth of July special.

Chapter 5: Melody of a party and fireworks (4th of July special) (Rewritten)

Author's Note

Sorry for this chapter being more shorter, but I am saving another idea for the next chapter. So next time, Melody and Clover are now a permanent citizen in Equestria, but will the ponies of Equestria welcome her with open arms? Most likely.

Chapter 5: Melody of a party and fireworks (4th of July special) (Rewritten)

After Pinkie signed the adoption papers, the party then progressed. Everyone was simply in love with how adorable Melody and Clover looked in their dresses. 'This is the first time I've ever been this happy in a long time' Melody thought to herself smiling. Pinkie then picked her up and put Melody and Clover on her back.

"Come on my sweet little cupcakes, what do you say to having some snacks?" Pinkie asked her new daughters with a smile.

"Ok mommy, that would be nice!" Melody said with her soft and sweet tone. Pinkie's heart melted at the sound of her daughters voice.

"I would love that mommy!" Clover said with a smile.

"Ok, the lets go and get us some cake!" Pinkie said skipping happily over to the desert table. Once there, they saw that the cake that Shade had baked was frosted with red and white stripes and a blue square with white stars in it. The ponies, Spike, and Discord were all looking at the cake curiously.

"Pardon me Shade, but if you don't mind, why is the cake you baked frosted like that?" Fluttershy asked quietly.

"It's the flag of North America. I decorated it to celebrate Independence Day, or the Fourth of July," Shade explained. This intrigued Twilight very much.

"Can you tell us about the Independence Day?" she asked with an adorable desire for human knowledge.

"Certainly, it all happened back in the 16th century, back when the 13 colonies were founded," Shade began, but then Rarity spoke up.

"The 13 colonies?" she asked curiously.

"Yep, they were the first 13 states of the United States of America. These states included New York, Maine, Delaware, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, North and South Carolina, Georgia, Virginia, Pennsylvania, and Connecticut." Rainbow Dash snickered at how funny some of the states sounded. "Yes they may have funny names, but they are historically important. Because it in these colonies where some of the most important moments in history, like the Boston massacre, and the signing of what got us our freedom from the rule of Great Britain, the Declaration of Independence." he further explained drawing shocked looks on the faces of the ponies, Spike, and Discord. "It was drafted July fourth, 1776, and was signed by delegates from each of the 13 states, and every year, we celebrate what they did by having fireworks." Shade said finishing his explanation. The ponies were all amazed at the explanation. "And seeing at how the sun's going down, we should be seeing some fireworks real soon." he said looking out the window.

"But who lowers the sun here?" Twilight asked with a quirked eyebrow.

"No one, the earth's rotation around our sun allows the sun and moon to raise and set by themselves." Shade said matter-of-factly. This made Celestia and Luna horrified. "ALL RIGHT EVERYONE! THE FOURTH OF JULY FIREWORKS ARE ABOUT TO START!" Shade called to the children, who were all lining up to get cake, from which the alicorns and Rarity helped him distribute to the little ones, who then all took a place near the windows to see the fireworks first hand, or in the ponies case, first hoof. After taking their seats, the fireworks began, and the children were all amazed by all the colors. There was an incredible display of red, blue, yellow, green, and many more colors. After awhile, the grand finale came and went, and all the children were tuckered out, and wanted to go to bed. "All right kids, let's get you all to bed, and as for you all, it was wonderful meeting all of you, so I guess, this is goodbye for now," Shade said before waving goodbye to the ponies. Just then Pedro and Molly came running up to Melody and hugging her.

"We'll miss you Melody!" Pedro said practically crying.

"It'll be lonely without you," Molly said also sad that Melody is leaving.

"Don't worry guys, as long as I'm with you in your hearts, I will never leave," Melody said also tearing up.

Twilight walked up, teary eyed as well, "She's right, friendship is eternal, even when in different realms," she said trying to keep a smile.

"She's right! Never let the Melody that's in your heart disappear," Shade said backing up Twilight.

"Your right, all of us at the orphanage are still friends even if your not here Melody!" said Pedro, with new found reassurance.

"We'll never forget you Melody," Molly said giving her friend a big hug.

"And I won't forget any of you. GOODBYE!" Melody said with a tearful smile before going back to a now teary eyed Pinkie with Clover..

"GOODBYE MELODY!" the children all called to her before she disappeared.

"You did the right thing in telling her about being there in spirit, now let's get you all to bed," Shade said leading the children to their bedrooms.

Chapter 6: Melody of a family and the luck of a new beginning (Edited)

Something has gone wrong. We don't seem to have an archived copy of that chapter.

Chapter 7: Melody of New friends

As dawn broke over the happy little town of Ponyville, there was already activity going on in the bedroom of Sugarcube Corner, where Pinkie Pie was sleeping happily with her two daughters, Melody Smith, who Pinkie and her friends rescued from a cruel orphanage that was now put in the kind hands of Shade Goodrivers, and Clover Harver, a runaway princess who didn't like being a princess because of her parents harsh actions. As sunlight peeked through the window of Pinkies room, the party pony began to stir in her sleep. Blinking her eyes open, she looked down to see her angel food cakes nestled up to her with warm smiles on their faces. My sweet little babies, Pinkie thought to herself. Then, leaning down, she gently nuzzled their cheeks, "Melody, Clover, it's time to wake up pumpkins," she said in a soft tone. Hearing their mothers voice, Melody and Clover began to stir in their sleep. Blinking their eyes open, they looked up to see their new Mommy. "Good Morning my sweet angel cakes!" Pinkie said smiling at them.

With a cute little yawn, they smiled back at their Mommy, "Good Morning Mommy!" they said in unison. Pinkies heart melted at how cute they were.

"How about we go and get breakfast? I can make the same cinnamon oatmeal I made for you yesterday, if you want some that is," Pinkie said before helping the two girls onto the floor.

"Ok Mommy, that would be nice!" Melody said with her sweet tone.

"Yes Mommy, we would love to have oatmeal!" Clover said smiling up to her mother.

"GREAT! Let's head downstairs and I can get your oatmeal started!" Pinkie said leading her daughters out of the room and downstairs. When they got to the parlor, they saw their friends and three new fillies. "Hey girls! What's up?" Pinkie asked hopping over to her friends.

"Well, Applebloom, Big Mac and Granny were all wondering where we had all gone too, so ah told them, and Applebloom wanted to come with me to meet the little sweethearts," Applejack said looking at her little sister.

"YEAH! And y'all were right Applejack, they are sweet!" Applebloom said, looking at the two human girls.

"OH! Before I forget, here you sweethearts go," Rarity said before levitating a bundle of clothes over to the two girls, who carefully took a hold of them.

"Thank you for washing them Auntie Rarity!" Melody and Clover said in unison.

Rarity's heart melted at how they said it in unison. "Aww, you're welcome, my sweet angels of nieces," Rarity said with a blushing smile and turned to her sister. "And girls, this is my little sister, Sweetie Belle. Sweetie Belle, these two angels are Melody *motions to Melody*, and Clover *motions to Clover*." Rarity said introducing her sister to the two girls.

Sweetie Belle walked up to Melody and Clover to get a better look at them. "Aww, you two are just as cute as Rarity described you as!" she said wit a blush and a spark coming from her horn.

"It's nice to meet you Sweetie Belle," Melody said, smiling back to the unicorn filly.

"Howdy Melody and Clover, mah name is Applebloom, it's nice to meet you both," Applebloom said walking up to the two girls.

"It's nice to meet you too, Applebloom," Clover said smiling at the yellow earth filly.

"Hey, don't forget me!" They heard the voice of Scootaloo, who was fluttering her wings over to see the two girls. "My name is Scootaloo, it's nice to meet you both," she said smiling at the two girls. "And together, we make..." she started, looking at her friends.

"THE CUTIE MARK CRUSADERS!" the three called loudly, causing Melody and Clover to cover their ears.

"Must you three be so loud?" Rarity asked with a faint giggle.

"What's the Cutie Mark Crusaders?" Melody asked.

"We're a society seeking to help any fillies and colts find their special talents, which are displayed as pictures on their flanks, called cutie marks." Sweetie Belle explained.

"Is that what those pictures on everyone's flank called?" Clover asked, to which the ponies nodded.

"Well, while you two get to know these fillies, I'll go and make your oatmeal," Pinkie told her daughters, to which they nodded. "Ok, I will be back in momentarily." and with that, Pinkie bounced happily into the kitchen to get started on her daughters oatmeal.

"Girls, if you two want, we can take you around Ponyville and get you better acquainted with your surroundings," Twilight said to her nieces.

"Ok Auntie Twilight, that would be nice," Melody said with Clover nodding in agreement. After a while, Pinkie walked in with two bowls of oatmeal on her back.

"Here you go my precious princesses, but be careful, they're still warm," Pinkie said to her daughters, who carefully took the bowls and the spoons from their mother. And as soon as they had the spoons, they began to eat their oatmeal.

"Mm, it's very good Mommy, just like you made it yesterday!" Melody said to Pinkie, with Clover nodding in agreement.

"Aww, I'm glad you love it sweeties," Pinkie said with a squee. After a few good bites, they had finished the oatmeal. "Here, why don't I take your bowls, while you two go and get dressed?" Pinkie said to the two girls, to which, they nodded and walked to the bathroom to change, and wash up, before being stopped by Twilight.

"Wait girls, I picked these up for you before coming over," Twilight said, before levitating two cosmetic bags over to the two human girls. "Just a few bathroom supplies you two may need, includes a toothbrush, toothpaste, soap, shampoo, and some other things you'll need for the bathroom," she explained to her nieces.

"Thank you Auntie Twilight, we love you!" they said in unison.

"Aww, I love you both too!" Twilight said with a blush. And with that, two girls left for the bathroom.

"They look just so sweet, it's hard to believe anypony would want to be mean to them," Sweetie Belle commented, with the other two crusaders nodding in agreement.

"Well, we won't ever have to worry about those ghastly orphanage 'caregivers' anymore, especially if Shade said he would keep watch of it," Rarity stated with a flick of her mane.

"Who's Shade?" Scootaloo asked with curiosity.

"He was a samurai that helped us uncover those awful orphanage staff members," Fluttershy said, looking at the orange and fuchsia filly.

"Uh, what's a samurai?" Applebloom asked.

"Samurai, an elite warrior who will fight with honor on the battlefield, and will help those in need," Twilight explained.

"He slashed through some chains the old head of the orphanage used to try and take Melody by force," Rainbow added to Shades description.

"Whoa! He sounds cool," Scootaloo commented.

"His actions made it clear that he is cool," Twilight explained to the Pegasus filly.

"Ok, we're ready!" they all turned to see Melody and Clover all dressed up in their new dresses. Melody's was an emerald green dress, and matching green shoes, and Clover was wearing a summer red dress, with a clover pattern on it.

"Aww, you two look so cute, I can just eat you up!" Rarity said with a blushing smile. The two girls blushed at being called cute.

"Well, if everypony's ready, lets go and see the town!" Pinkie said, appearing at the door out of nowhere. And with that, the group all left, and began the tour.

Chapter 8: The Melody of a Farm

After the group left Sugarcube Corner, the ponies went to show Melody and Clover around the peaceful little town of Ponyville. "Ok, so where should we go first?" Twilight asked the group.

"Why not Sweet Apple Acres? I've always wanted to go to a farm, but the old caretakers would never take us, even if we were good," Melody said, giving them a sad smile.

"And mommy and daddy would never let me near dirt," Clover sadly said looking down in shame.

"Aww, don't worry sweethearts, we'll make sure your first visit to a farm is a good one," Applejack said, trying to reassure the two girls, who looked up with bright smiles.

"Ok Auntie Applejack, that would be nice," Melody said with a quiet tone, with Clover quietly nodding in agreement.

"Ok, lets go!" Pinkie said before hopping happily away to the farm, with her friends in tow, who just giggled at their friends giddiness.

After a while, they arrived at the farm, "Ok girls, here we are, Sweet Apple Acres, home to one of the largest bushels of apple orchards in Equestria," Applejack said showing them the main part of the farm, which had the main farmhouse, the barn, a pigpen, and some grape vines for when they make grape juice. The grapes made Clover curious.

"You grow grapes here too?" she asked sweetly.

"Eeyup, we grow a lot more than just apples here, would you like me to show you around?" Applejack asked her two nieces.

"Ok Auntie Applejack, we would love that, thank you," Melody said with a soft yet warm smile on her face.

"Why don't we go meet Granny Smith and Big Macintosh first? Ah can guarantee y'all will like them," Applejack said to the two small girls.

"Ok Auntie Applejack, that would be nice," Clover said with a smile, following the farm mare. After a little bit of walking, they soon see the old green earth mare on the front porch.

"Hey Granny, we have some company," Applejack said to her grandmother, who turned to see her granddaughter, accompanied by her friends, and the two new faces.

"Why howdy everypony, what brings y'all here?" Granny asked the group, and then she focused her attention to the two human girls standing with them. "D'aww, and who are these little cuties?" she asked looking at the small children, who were blushing at being called cute, but hid behind Pinkie, being the shy little girls they are.

"Now girls, there's no reason to be scared, Granny Smith is a nice pony," Pinkie said, which reassured them. Carefully walking out, the two girls stood in front of the old earth mare.

"Melody, Clover, this is Granny Smith, the head of the farm. Granny, these are Pinkies daughters, Melody and Clover," Applejack said introducing her grandmother and Nieces.

Walking up to get a closer look at the two, Granny smiled, "Why howdy there, you two don't have ta worry none, Ah won't hurt ya ever," Granny Smith said in a reassuring voice. This made the two girls smile that she wasn't going to hurt them.

"Hello Granny Smith," they both said in unison. Granny smiled warmly at the two. Just then, they all saw Big Macintosh walk out of the farmhouse. Melody and Clover soon walked back behind Pinkie.

"It's ok, Big Mac is a nice pony just like Granny Smith," Pinkie reassured her daughters, who gently poked their heads out from behind Pinkie. "Sorry Big Mac, they're really shy," Pinkie explained to Applejacks brother.

"No problem," Big Mac simply said with a smile.

Applejack and Applebloom rolled their eyes at the simplicity of their bothers speech. "Well girls, this is mah and Appleblooms brother, Big Macintosh. Big Mac, these two sweethearts are Clover and Melody, Pinkies daughters," Applejack said introducing the two girls and her brother to each other.

Smiling a kind and "I will never hurt you" type smile, Big Mac spoke up, "Why howdy there, there ain't no reason to be scared o' me. Like Applejack said, mah name is Big Macintosh, and it's a pleasure to meet both of ya," he said in a deep voice.

Looking up to see the kindness in his eyes, Melody and Clover both walked up, "Hello Big Macintosh, it's nice to meet you too," they said in unison. Everypony d'awwed at how cute they were, speaking in synch.

"Well, with all introductions out o' the way, why don't we start the tour of the farm in the orchard?" Applejack asked, smiling tenderly at her nieces.

"Ok Applejack, that would be nice," Melody said, with Clover nodding in agreement.

"Then lets go!" Applejack said, leading the group into the orchard.

Meanwhile with Celestia and Luna,

"Alright Luna, our mission is to inform Clovers original parents that she will be living with us, no longer royalty herself," Celestia explained to her lunar sister.

"I understand, now lets go," Luna said, lighting up her horn. Celestia copied Luna's action, and in a flash of light, they were gone. After teleporting once again to the human world, they looked up to see a gothic European castle before them. "We should probably use stealth for this mission, so we can bypass the guards," Luna suggested, only to be met with a shake of the head by Celestia.

"No Luna, we must let them know we are here to see them, but we should use stealth ONLY to get by the guards," Celestia informed her sister. With a nod from Luna, they began to sneak to the castle entrance. When they saw the entrance, they noticed a small band of six guards stationed outside the castle doors. "Luna, do you think you can put them to sleep?" Celestia asked her sister, who simply nodded, and with a flash of her horn, she was able to put the guards to sleep. "Good! Now we can make our way to the throne room." And with that, the two sisters began to walk into the castle.

After some walking, and putting the guards to sleep, the two sister found the throne room, and as luck would have it, both the king and queen were sitting on the throne. When the royal couple saw the alicorns, they gasped in surprise. "What is the meaning of this?!Where are the guards?!" the king demanded with fury.

"Calm yourself, we mean no harm. I am Celestia, princess of the sun and co-ruler of Equestria," Celestia said introducing herself, before turning towards her sister.

"And I am Luna, princess of the moon and co-ruler of Equestria," Luna said with a slight frown.

"Alright, lets not waste time, we're looking for our daughter, Clover Harver," the king said with a rude tone.

"I assure you, Clover is perfectly safe," Celestia said with a smug look.

"What do you mean? WHERE IS MY DAUGHTER?!" the queen demanded with a sneer.

"She now lives with us in Equestria, where she can be loved and comforted, something you two obviously could never do," Luna said with smugness in her voice.

"IN A FOREIGN LAND?! THIS MEANS WAR!" the king proclaimed.

"I'm afraid that Equestria is a parallel world from this one, it can't be accessed." Celestia explained. "And we have given her nothing but the love every child deserves. We even had a party to celebrate her adoption, along with her new sister, Melody Smith," Celestia informed them, which made the queen gasp.

"She didn't eat anything sweet, did she?" the queen demanded in anger.

"And she really will call a pair of commoners a sister and a mother?!" the king raged.

"She did, and she truly deserved something sweet," Luna snarled back.

"And she will, and has all the friends a child could ask for," Celestia answered the king, no longer having a sweet, motherly tone in her voice.

"Then, you can keep her! She has disgraced our family by indulging in something sweet, and daring to call commoners a family and friends!" the king said, just giving up on asking for his daughter.

"You can tell our ex-daughter that she is no longer part of our family, and that she can live out her days as a shameful commoner," the queen added on.

Celestia sadly shook her head in disappointment. "How can you say such awful things to your only daughter?" she asked, looking disappointingly at the royal couple.

"She is not our daughter anymore! We shall erase her name from the family tree, never to be heard of again," the queen snapped at the sisters.

"Now, GET OUT OF OUR SIGHT!" the king yelled at the sisters, who lit up their horns, and teleported out of the castle.

Back in Canterlot Castle, Luna looked up at her sister, "How can parents be so cruel to their one and only daughter?" she asked with tears stinging her eyes.

"I do not know, but Clover can now live happily in her new home, with her new family," Celestia said with a tender smile on her face, which reassured Luna.

Meanwhile back at Sweet Apple Acres,

"And this is the sanctuary where we keep the Vampire Fruit Bats," Applejack said, leading the group to where the Vampire Fruit Bat sanctuary was.

"How is a vampire fruit bat different from a regular fruit bat?" Melody asked curiously.

"Well, the seeds from the fruit they eat become more potent fruit trees," Fluttershy explained, as a couple of bats came and landed on her head, "They aren't as scary as they look. They're really sweet little creatures," Fluttershy said, lowering her head to give the two girls a good look at the bats.

"Aww, they are as cute as you said Auntie Fluttershy," Clover commented, brushing her finger slightly over the bats head. The bat she petted chittered at how good it felt being rubbed on its head.

"Aww, it looks like this one like being petted," Fluttershy said with a blushing squee.

"Well, lets get back to the main part of the farm and continue the tour there," Applejack said to the group, who followed the orange earth mare. After some walking, the group arrived at the main branch of the farm, "Ok girls, where would y'all like to go next?" Applejack asked the two sweethearts she calls her nieces.

Looking around, Melody saw a fence area, "What's that over there Auntie Applejack?" Melody asked farmer pony.

"That would be the pig pen," Applejack replied, leading her nieces over to the pen. "This is where all our pig like to roll around in the mud," Applejack explained, which made Clover raise her hand.

"Why do they like to roll in mud?" she asked innocently.

"It helps keep them cool, and also keeps bugs off o' them," Applejack explained.

"Is that right?" Melody asked surprised, to which Applejack nodded. "Wow! I thought it was because piggies liked to be all muddy," she commented with a giggle. Just then, they heard barking, and they turned to see a brown and white collie dog running towards them. "Aww, a puppy!" Melody said smiling with a blush.

"This is Winona, the family dog. She's really friendly once ya get ta know her," Applejack said, introducing her dog, who was sniffing the two girls curiously, but barked happily. "Aww, she likes ya both," Applejack said with a blush.

"I really like her too, Auntie Applejack," Melody said, with Clover nodding in agreement, who turned to see the barn.

"Auntie Applejack, what's that barn over there?" Clover asked, pointing at the red barn.

"That's the barn we use for storage." Applejack replied, leading them to the barn. "We use the barn to store apples for the winter," Applejack said, showing them inside the barn.

"Wow! Barns are a lot bigger than I thought!" Clover commented.

"Well, that pretty much wraps up the tour of the farm, so where should we go now?" Applejack asked her friends and nieces.

"Why not show them where I work?" Rarity asked, looking at the two sweet as candy girls. "If it's ok with you two?" she asked with a blush.

"Ok Auntie Rarity, that would be nice," Clover replied, with Melody nodding in agreement.

"Then lets go!" Rarity proclaimed, leading the group to the boutique.

Author's Note

Hey guys, sorry about not posting more chapters lately, but I keep accidently backing out of them while in edit mode. Anyway, tell me what you all think about the story so far. And until next time, this is darkmage1997 signing off!

Chapter 9: Melody of a Boutique and sisters

After leaving the farm, the group, lead by Rarity, then proceeded to take Melody and Clover to Carousel Boutique, where Rarity would shoe her nieces where she makes the dresses they now wear. "Once we get to my boutique, I can show where I make all the designs for all the wonderful outfits, including the dresses you two adorable sweethearts wear now!" Rarity said with a blushing squee.

Melody and Clover both blushed at being called adorable, "I know that we'll like where you work Auntie Rarity!" the girls said in unison. The ponies, even Rainbow Dash and Scootaloo, all d'awwed at how cute they were, talking in synch.

After some walking, Sweetie Belle gently spoke up, " Hey girls? Did you two ever had any brothers and sisters when you were back on this 'Earth' planet?" she asked in a soft tone.

Sweetie Belles response were two headshakes from the two human girls, "No Sweetie Belle, I was an only child when I went to that terrible orphanage," Melody sadly said.

"And my Mommy never had anymore babies before or after me, so I was pretty lonely back at the castle," Clover added on sadly.

"Don't worry about that. You'll never be that lonely ever again," Twilight reassured them.

"What do you mean Auntie Twilight?" Clover asked with a quirked eyebrow.

"Well, you both share the same Mommy, don't you?" Twilight asked. As they nodded, Twilight giggled, "Then neither of you two are only child's, are you?" she asked with a smile.

Clover and Melody soon caught on to what Twilight was on about. "So you're saying..." Melody started, looking at Clover.

"That, we're sisters?!" Clover asked, almost in joy filled tears as she looked at Melody.

"That's right. The moment you were adopted by Pinkie, you two became sisters," Rainbow explained. This got some tear filled squeals from the two girls as they both gently hugged each other.

"Oh, I'm so happy that you're my sister Melody!" Clover said happily.

"Couldn't put it better myself Clover!" Melody said, equally happy. This made everypony tear up with happiness, Rainbow Dash included, but she clenched her eyes shut to stop the tears.

"Alright, let's get the Boutique now! You're all making me sappy," Rainbow complained, but was ignored when the mares all wrapped her up in a group hug. "ALRIGHT! Lets just continue on!" Rainbow said, annoyed about the unexpected group hug, but giggled, nevertheless.

"Alright, lets go on," Rarity said, leading the group to the boutique.

Meanwhile, back with Spike,

After taking care of his usual chores, Spike found himself with some free time. He decided that if he had no more chores to take care of, he may as well go and read his new Power Ponies comic. After retrieving some gems to snack on, he continued back to his room to get to reading. He was about to open up the comic book, when he felt a burp coming on. As soon as he burped, he was very surprised to see that he burped his usual green flames, and a letter formed from the flames. It had Celestia's royal seal on it, so he knew it was important. "Huh, wonder what this is?" Spike asked himself. as he opened up the scroll, he found a letter that said,

Dear Twilight Sparkle,

Me and Luna were successful in informing Clover former parents that she would be living with us from now on. Sadly, when we told them that she would accept Pinkie Pie and Melody as her mother and sister and that she indulged in sweets, they just gave up on asking us for Clovers return. They were talking nonsense about how eating sweets had brought shame to their family. So, at least they now know they won't need to worry about her safety anymore, if they still cared about their daughter at all. You may tell Clover, when you next see her, that she is here to stay in Equestria.

Sincerely, you fellow princess and mentor, Celestia.

After reading the letter, Spike let a few stray tears roll down his cheek. "Gosh, I never thought that parents would be that horrible to a sweet little girl like Clover. Well, I better find and give Twilight this letter," Spike said, before running as fast as his legs could carry him out of the castle to find his friends. As he left the castle, he saw the mares all walking in to Carousel Boutique. "Well that was easy," Spike said before dashing off to catch up with the mares.

Back with the Mane 6,

After some walking, the ponies all arrived at the Carousel Boutique. When the two girls saw the large building in front of them, they stared in awe at how much it looked like an actual carousel. "Wow Auntie Rarity, your house looks like a real carousel," Clover commented with an awe filled smile.

"Well, that is how the town made it look like when it was first built," Rarity explained with a smile, looking down at her nieces. "Well, lets all not stand out here gathering dust, lets go inside!" Rarity said, unlocking the door, and leading her friends, sister, and nieces into the boutique. "And this is where I make all the dresses I design, including the ones you two wear now," Rarity said, pointing at the dresses the two human girls were wearing.

Clover then noticed three mirrors, "What are these mirrors Auntie Rarity?" Clover asked, pointing at the mirrors.

"That is where I make sure the dresses all fit, and make sure the ponies who wear them are presentable in said dresses," Rarity explained. "It's also where I take the measurements I need to make sure the dresses fit perfectly," she added on. She then motioned the two girls to follow her upstairs. As the two girls followed the white unicorn upstairs, they came to a room that had all sorts of fabrics and a sewing machine. "And this is where I come up with the inspiration for all my dresses," Rarity said, showing he nieces her workroom. "Here, I draw up different designs for the many dresses, and I put all the requests for dresses for many celebrities, like Sapphire Shores, the pony of pop," Rarity explained.

"I bet she's a good singer!" Melody commented with a smile.

"Oh heavens, she is. Why, she's one of the most famous singers in all of Equestria!" Rarity said with a happy sigh, before turning back to the two girls. "Well, that's pretty much all there is to see here, so lets go and find a new destination," Rarity said, leaving the room, with the two girls following her. As they walked down, they saw that Spike was with their friends, and that he, along with the others, had tear filled eyes. "Why what ever is the matter?" Rarity asked, feeling immediately concerned for her friends.

"Whatever it is, I'm sure we can help!" Clover said, trying to lift everyone's spirits.

As soon as they all saw Clover, Pinkie, without warning, scooped up Clover in a comforting hug, "Oh my sweet, precious Clover, its the letter that Uncle Spike brought us," Pinkie said, looking at the young drake.

"Here, it might be easier for you to read it, than us explain it," Spike said, handing Clover the letter. Melody and Rarity both looked over Clovers shoulders to see the letter.

After reading the letter, Clover was already in tears, "I-I-I can't believe Mommy and Daddy would just abandon me like that," Clover said depressingly.

"You poor baby, we'll make sure that you never have to hear from those awful real parents of yours, ever again," Rarity said, rubbing Clovers shoulders.

"Yeah! You deserve better than those meanies!" Melody said, hugging her sister.

"Well, lets not let this letter spoil our outing. Shall we continue our tour of Ponyville?" Rarity said, trying to change the subject.

"Um, if it's ok with you two, I can show you both my animal sanctuary?" Fluttershy asked with a blush.

"That sounds like fun!" Clover said, regaining her happiness.

"I would love to see more animals!" Melody said with a smile.

"Well, lead the way Flutters," Rainbow said, giving Fluttershy the right of way. And as soon as they left the boutique, and Rarity locked the door, they made their way to Fluttershy's cottage.

Author's Note

Once again, reasons for not posting in awhile, coming up with more ideas, and accidently backing out of a chapter before saving it. Well, here's the newest chapter in this story, and now Melody and Clover now know they're sisters! What love will grow from this new discovery? Found out in later chapters.

Chapter 10: Melody of an animal sanctuary and the luck of a crush (edited)

While walking through town from Carousel Boutique, Melody and Clover were both smiling at how friendly the ponies seemed to be, especially a mint green unicorn they saw with a big smile on her face. Once out of the town, the girls noticed that they were close to a dark forest. "Mommy, what's that?" Clover asked, pointing at the forest.

"That would be the Everfree Forest. Its home to some wild and dangerous plants and animals. We try to avoid that dark place, except when we go to visit our Zebra friend, Zecora, who's a wiz at making potions and herbal teas," Pinkie explained, looking back at her daughters.

"It's also home to the old castle that Celestia and Luna once lived in, as well as the tree of harmony," Twilight added on, with a smile.

"Oh, ok!" Melody said in understanding, with Clover nodding in agreement.

"Oh, girls, look! That's my animal sanctuary right there," Fluttershy said, pointing to her cottage by the forest.

The two girls were amazed at how many animals there were, "Wow Auntie Fluttershy, these are all your pets?" Clover asked, shocked at how one pony can take care of so many animals at once.

"Why yes, I just love taking care of all sorts of animals who can't take care of themselves," Fluttershy replied with a squee. "Would you like me to show you two around, if that's ok?" Fluttershy asked her nieces, who nodded in unison, which made Fluttershy giggle. "Well, out front is my garden, where I keep some of my birdhouses, and my otter habitat," Fluttershy said, motion towards under the bridge to her house, where some otters were playing in the water.

"Aww, they're so cute!" Melody said with a blush.

"And if you come back here to my backyard," Fluttershy said, motioning the group to follow her, "you can see my chicken coop, where I keep all my chickens," Fluttershy said, showing her nieces the wooden coop in a chicken wire fence.

"Are there a lot of chickens?" Clover asked.

"Why yes, and all of them are real sweethearts," Fluttershy said, smiling at her niece.

Just as Fluttershy was about to show the two girls some more animals, she heard a stallion call for her, "FLUTTERSHY! I NEED YOUR HELP!" the stallion called.

"Oh my, that's Thunderlane!" Fluttershy said, trotting towards her front porch area, to find the black stallion with a silver Mohawk mane standing with a worried look on his face, accompanied by his little brother, Rumble. "Thunderlane? What's wrong?" Fluttershy asked.

"Its our pet falcon, we think he's getting ill," Thunderlane replied, giving Fluttershy a brown and white falcon, who looked to be in terrible condition.

"Oh my goodness!" Fluttershy said, taking the bird inside for treatment. "I'll see what's wrong, then I'll get back to you both," Fluttershy said, turning back to the brothers, who nodded in understanding.

"Do you think he'll be alright?" Rumble asked his brother.

"We just have to wait and see," Thunderlane replied, trying to keep his little brother from getting worried.

"Thunderlane? What are you doing here?" asked Rainbow Dash, as she and the others came out from behind Fluttershy's house.

"Our falcons sick, so we thought Fluttershy might know something as to why he's feeling under the weather," Thunderlane replied, with Rumble nodding in agreement.

"Well, alright, as long as you aren't shirking from weather patrol," Rainbow said, giving Thunderlane a stern look. "OH! Before I forget, I want you two to meet my nieces, and Pinkies daughters," Rainbow said, looking towards her party friends back, with the two girls realizing that their auntie was talking about them, quickly hide in their mommy's poofy mane, "C'mon girls, there's no need to be scared, Thunderlane might be a tad lazy, but he won't hurt you," Rainbow whispered to her nieces, who carefully poked their heads out of Pinkies mane. "Girls, this is Thunderlane, and his brother Rumble," Rainbow said introducing her nieces to her Pegasus friends, "Guys, these two are Melody *motions to Melody*, and Clover *motions towards Clover*. They were recently adopted by Pinkie, so they're living with us from now on," Rainbow said, introducing her friends to her nieces.

Looking at the two girls with a smile, Thunderlane carefully trotted up to the two girls, "Why hello girls, there's no reason to be scared of me or Rumble, we're nice ponies," Thunderlane said in a gentle tone.

"And I hope to see you in school at the end of summer," Rumble said, smiling up at the two girls.

"Its nice to meet you Thunderlane, and we hope to see you in school too Rumble," the girls said in unison.

Just then, Fluttershy came out with the falcon, "Ok, it seems to be just a stomach-ache, so I would recommend you getting a fresh bag of bird seed," Fluttershy said, looking to the brothers.

"Ok, but do we need to give Skylar any medicine?" Thunderlane asked.

"I don't think any medicine will be needed, but make sure to give him plenty of rest," Fluttershy said sternly, to which the brothers nodded in understanding, and flew away with their falcon.

"They seem nice," Melody said with a smile, with Clover only nodding slightly in agreement as she kept her eyes on Rumble.

"Well, how about we finish up the tour of Ponyville at my castle?" Twilight suggested, to which the two girls nodded happily in agreement. "GREAT! Now lets go," Twilight said, leading the group back to Ponyville. While the others weren't looking, Clover gave a soft blush at her memory of Rumble. However, none of them noticed the clouds above began to swirl around in a vortex like manner.

To be continued...

Author's Note

Sorry that the 10th chapters late, but I keep backing out of the chapters before saving them, so that's part of the reason. Well, now with all that out of the way, it looks like Clovers got herself a crush on Rumble. How will Rumble react when Clover confesses her true feelings? And what of those odd clouds? Stay tuned for the most epic crossover ever!

Chapter 11: Melody of a castle and a new adventure

Leaving behind Fluttershy's cottage, the Mane Six, along with Melody and Clover, Spike, and the Crusaders, made their way through town to the Castle of Friendship. On their way through town square, a mint green blur suddenly appeared next to Pinkie, which made the two human girls jump in surprise, "LYRA!" an annoyed mares voice called. The ten friends then took notice of a mint green unicorn with amber eyes standing next to Pinkie, staring intently at the two girls. "Lyra, if I told you once, I told a thousand times, don't rush off like that," the friends all turned to see a cream colored mare with a dark blue, yellow, and pink mane and tail, staring annoyingly at the unicorn in question.

"Sorry Bon-Bon, but look, humans!" the unicorn, which Melody and Clover presumed was Lyra, squealed like a fan girl. This put anime sweat marks on the Mane Six, Spike, the Crusaders, and the two human girls.

"I assume you knew what we were before we met you, right?" Melody asked.

"Oh yes! I've always wanted to meet a human, and now Ponyville has two new human residents!" Lyra replied, still squealing, just before fainting.

"I'm sorry girls, you'll have to excuse Lyra. She tends to get over excited when her dreams come true, in this case, that would be you two," Bon-Bon said to the two human girls, as she picked up Lyra.

"Oh no, its alright. We're happy that she got to realize her dreams," Clover reassured.

"Ok, well, we'll see you around," Bon-Bon said, as she carried the unconscious Lyra away.

"Wow, a lot of the ponies around here look like fun," Melody commented.

"And a lot of them are," Pinkie Pie said.

"Alright, lets continue on to the castle," Twilight said, unaware of the strange formation of swirling clouds in the sky.

After some walking, the group finally made it to the Castle, "Whoa, this place is giant!" Clover exclaimed.

"Well, it was built by magic," Twilight explained, "Well, lets get to the dining room," she said, leading her friends to the palace dining room. A few minutes later, they had arrived at the dining hall, which was just as impressive as the outside. It was a blue crystal room, with a large wooden table in the shape of Twilight's cutie mark, with seven chairs surrounding it, each with the cutie mark of the ponies on the top of them, "So, what would you all like to eat?" Twilight asked.

"I'd like just a daisy and daffodil sandwich, please," Fluttershy asked politely.

"Make that a double darling, if you wouldn't mind," Rarity asked.

"Actually, better make that a triple sugar cube," Applejack said.

"Eh, go ahead and get two more for me and Pinks," Rainbow Dash said, with the pink mare nodding in agreement.

"We'd like some nachos," Applebloom said, motioning to herself and her friends.

"What about you two?" Pinkie asked, looking at her daughters.

"I'd just like a peanut butter and jelly sandwich," Melody said.

"Same here please," Clover said.

"Alright, be right back," Twilight said, heading into the kitchen with Spike. A few minutes later, they came back out with a trolley with the requested food items, "Alright everypony, lunchtime," she said, levitating the food to each of the food items to the friends who requested them. And so they all began to eat their lunch, "How are you all enjoying it?" Twilight asked.

"Its delicious Aunty Twilight," Melody said.

"Why thank you sweetie," Twilight said, before noticing a dazed look in Clover's eyes, "Clover, are you ok?" she asked.

"Huh? Oh, yeah I'm ok," Clover replied, "I was just thinking that this is the first time another princess gave me any food like a sandwich," Clover explained.

"Well, I just used regular everyday bread and peanut butter and jelly to make it, so there isn't really a cause for alarm," Twilight reassured.

With that assurance, Clover took a bite out of the sandwich, "Ooh, it tastes good," Clover said, as she took another bite of the sandwich.

"Why thank you sweetheart," Twilight said with a blushing smile.

After a while, everyone had finished their lunches, "Ok, so, what should we do now?" Rainbow Dash asked.

"Well, since Clover and Melody are still new to Ponyville, I should take them back to Sugarcube Corner so I can prep a welcome party," Pinkie said, "If its not too much trouble, could you girls spread some invitations to everypony in Ponyville?" the pink mare asked.

"You can count on us Pinkie. We'll see you three later," Twilight said, as Pinkie and her daughters left the castle to go find decorations.

After making their way from the castle to the town square, Pinkie, Melody, and Clover noticed a bunch of ponies looking distressed. Walking over to the local town DJ, Viynal Scratch, Pinkie asked, "Viynal, is something wrong?"

"You bet there is Pinks, look up there!" the blue maned unicorn said, pointing up into the sky.

Looking up, Pinkie Pie, along with her daughters noticed the clouds began swirling faster and faster. When they were up to speed, everyone noticed a wormhole was beginning to open in the eye of the storm. At first, nothing seemed to be affected by the anomaly except for two things: Clover and Melody. Without warning, a mysterious force began to suck in the two girls without warning. "MOMMY!" the two girls screamed in terror.

"Girls! Hold on to my hooves!" Pinkie screamed to her daughters in fear. But as soon as Melody and Clover got close enough, a mysterious force knocked Pinkie away from her daughters, as they were unwillingly pulled into the vortex, leaving only a heartbroken party mare to mourn her loss. But what she didn't notice, was the vortex was beginning to swirl as though it was drawing something from the outside inward.
