In one of the alleyways of Canterlot three ponies walked hidden in the shadows. One was an orange pegasuss filly with a short pink mane and purple eyes, one was a white unicorn with curly pink and purple mane and light green eyes and the other was a yellow earth pony with a vibrant red mane, amber orange eyes and a pink bow.
"Are we there yet Apple Bloom?" The orange pegasuss groaned
"No we aint there yet." Apple Bloom responded "Were are we going anyways Sweetie Belle?" She asked the white unicorn leading them
The white unicorn looked at her friends then to the path ahead of them "We are all meeting at the old abandoned building.
"But that's sooo far away!" Scootaloo complained "And I'm so hungry!"
"Well, I know a short cut." Apple Bloom smiled "Come on!"
And the two followed the earth pony through her short cut.
An orange-ish yellow-ish pegasus sat atop one building overlooking the market in the streets of Canterlot. He had a sack with him for carrying the food he would be getting, though he had no money.
First he targeted a fruit stand. It had some of the best fruits in Equestria! When the vendor's back was turned Flash swooped down and grabbed a few apples before the pony saw him. He waited a moment and grabbed some other fruits being very careful not to get caught.
Next was some vegetables and then some baked goods.
He managed to grab some rolls and a small cake and had them in his bag then he reached for a loaf of bread and slipped off the top of the stand luckily the blue earth pony who ran the stand didn't notice. He put the loaf in his sack and reached for one more.
But before he could grab it, the captain of the royal guard saw him
"Stop you thief!" He called out. Catching the colt's attention
The pegasus quickly grabbed the loaf before stuffing it in his bag and taking off and, without the guard noticing, set the bag on the flat roof of one of the buildings and began to fly off and was soon pursued by some of the pegasus guards
He did his best to evade them as well as dodge all the items thrown at him. He flew through alleys and as he began to get further away from the guards he flew faster and then into a secret passage that nopony, but him, knew about. When the guards reached where he had disappeared they were confused and looked around for where he could have gone.
Flash made it back to where he had dropped the bag of food and picked it up staying out of sight of the guards. He flew as fast as he could to where he had told the foals to meet him.
When he arrived there were many little ponies sitting around an old table waiting patiently for their dinner.
Flash came in with his bag of food and began to set it on the table there was a whole feast for the foals
Once all the food was set on the table all the fillies and colts smiled
"Thanks Flash!" They all exclaimed in unison
"You're welcome." He responded with a smile as he looked at each of the orpans. All had a story, all were different in ways and weee each specail. He felt like he dhould prvide for others like him and make sure they were safe.
As he looked aeound he spotted a new face, one he had never seen before.
"I haven't seen you here before. Who are you?" Flash asked curiously
"I'm Pipsqueak" the little colt, who was a white earth bony with brown sppts all occer his coat and he had chocolate brown eyes, said with a British accent. "Miss Fluttershy told me about these. Thought I might come." Pipsqueak answered
"Dis she bring you?" Flash asked
"Yes, but she went to get something." Pip awnsered "She said she'd come back though."
"Okay. Good." Flash awnsered before looking at the rest of the foals "Who's hungry?" He askef
"Wait Sweetie Belle isn't here yet!" Colt named Button Mash exclaimed
"Neither is Scootaloo!" A different colt named Rumble said from the seat next to Button
"Apple Bloom isnt here either." AB's cosin named Babs added.
"We're here!" Apple bloom said entering the dining area along with Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo.
The tree fillies then took their seats.
"Okay, don't rake too much. There needs to be enough to go around." Flash reminded them
They all nodded before taking a couple of things to eat.
"Oh, there will be plenty to go around." A soft sweet voice sounded
Every pony turned to see a yellow pegasus with a rosy pink mane.
"Fluttershy!" All the foals exclaimed excitedly. They all loved Fluttershy. Ahe brought lots of good foods, and sometimes brought the best cakes, cookies, and sweets in Canterlot! The shy pegasuss was always kind and thoufht of others. Both her and Flash provided for and protected them and the foals were so grateful to the two pegasi.
Fluttershy placed all the food she brought.
"How do you get all of this?" Pipsueak asked curiously
"I work at the palace." Fluttershy awnsered his question. She was a maid, and freind, of the princess Twilight Sparkle, but working at the palace really had nothing to do with her being able to get so much. She had her own pasts and secrets that verry few other than her knew about.
