Rainy Aurora walked down one of the Cantorlot streets, one by the name of Lune Avenue. It took years for Aura to figure out why it was named that certain name, now she know. Lune was french for Moon as in Princess Luna. She sighed, her thoughts drifting back to her filly years where she was discriminated for her talent.

As she walked down the deary and lonely street, she came across a cracked mirror that had been simply left there by somepony. It had no real meaning but Aura walked up to it, with sad eyes. She felt sorry for it, it had been abonden much like she was shortly after her birth. Sure, she had her foster/surrogate mother but she almost had nopony to call family and nopony really talked to her since she was like 6 years old.

She looked into the mirror and saw a unicorn mare with a beautiful pink-purple coat and a straight magenta mane that was tied back into a single ponytail with a pink bow. Those striking blue eyes crept into her soul and frightened her, she stepped back, changing direction as she did and spotted the 'mare's' cutie mark, a beautiful rainbow that flew between two clouds. Her own self reflected into a mirror.

She was about to move along when a cry rippled through the air. A weak and cold sounded voice that was filled with mucus. Where? Where? Where was the sound coming from? Aura frantically searched around and eventually found a alleyway which linked onto Lune Avenue, her ears pinpointed the sound emitting from within the alleyway.

Aura gulped, frightened. The alleyway was dark and it was already evening, who knew what kind of weirdo would come out of there. But she had to find out what that sound was. After all, it sounded like it could be a filly or a colt and if it was, she wouldn't leave her. Her past wouldn't let her.

She slowly stepped into the darkness and almost stumbled over something on the floor just inside the alleyway. Her ears shot up as more crying was emitted and it was coming straight from the thing laying beneath her. Her horn glowed to emit like so she could see and saw a basket, only big enough to contain about three foals if that.

She gently nudged it only to be rewarded with a high pitch cry, no three cries. Wait three!? The mare had to find out and she nudged the blanket that laid over it off, only to be rewarded with a pretty shocking side. There laying in the box, were three very awake and crying baby fillies. Yes, she knew they were fillies because they weren't even wearing diapers and were laying in their own waste.

She picked up the closely to her quickly and rocked her to sleep. She stared down at this particular foal to see a small pegasus filly with a dark magenta-ish coat and a purple mane with split ends, a lot of them but surprising the mane still managed to be formed into two pigtails that trailed along the filly's back. As for the filly's eyes, they were a striking blue that looked very similar to her own.

She looked down at the filly's 'sisters' and picked up the second closest, leaving a smaller filly within the basket. She looked down at the filly which she was now holding to see a beautiful unicorn filly with a purplish-grey coat and pink hair, but those eyes were what scared Aura the most, a amazing red that burned deep into her soul.

The mare put the unicorn filly back in and looked at the last filly without picking her up. The smaller filly was a amazing black that Aura had only seen on a few selective ponies. Chrysalis, who had a fainter version of black, and Nightmare Moon, who had a amazing black coat just like the filly. In fact, the filly could be a doppelganger of Nightmare Moon, with her unicorn horn, pegasus wings, black coat and purple mane. Wait, pegasus wings and unicorn horn!? Most ponies only have one, unless there a princess, this filly must have been a little bit of a hybrid between a pegasus and a unicorn, it would explained how she could be sisters with the other two. Aura was shocked, even more so when the filly finally opened her eyes to reveal a amazing turquoise glow with faint off white turquoise highlights.

Aura couldn't describe how she felt right now, she had found the youngest alicorn in existence and had found two other foals alone in a basket, in a deary alleyway at night with nothing to eat or drink and with no diapers on so they were laying in their own waste which wreaked by the way. She sighed, she had to get them out of there. Her past and her mind told her to do so and she wasn't going to ignore what they were telling her.

She gently put the pegasus in the basket and levitated it carefully as to not annoy the tiny fillies. She walked out of the alleyway and almost ran to her apartment. She looked at the apartment door thinking to herself. 'This is no place to raise foals....Wait, what? It's not like I should keep them....but....they look so young...like their not even 6 months old yet and that alicorn looks no older then 3 months. Wait?! There months with siblings that are younger then a year old but she's older then a month old!? How the buck does that work? The only way that foal siblings could be related to each other and still be under a year old would be if they were either adopted or 11 months apart...or if they have the same father but different mothers. Okay, I need to rest my brain.''.

The mare sighed and took the fillies inside in their basket, wondering what she should do. She was trying to not think about the logical problems that these foals had, such as how their probably siblings yet they are less then 11 months apart in age. And the fact that one of them is a alicorn. She sighed, she would have to think of these questions later.
