What a Foal Always Needs

After school, Power and the Cutie Mark Crusaders walk over to a house that has a Wonderbolt symbol on it.  Scootaloo points to it.

"Applebloom, Sweetie Belle, look!  Is that the place?"

"Oh, it definitely is!  No other house in Ponyville has a Wonderbolt symbol on the front door."

"Well, what're we waitin' for!  Let's get in!"

Scootaloo knocks on the door.  The one who answers the door, though, surprises even Power, since she has no wings.  However, the one answers the door is also surprised at who she sees behind the Cutie Mark Crusaders.  "Hey Crusaders.  This is quite a weird time.  By the way, who's this youngster behind you all?"

"I'm Power Glow."

"Wow, what an impressive name."  The pink earth filly smiles at the sound of Power's name.  "So, what are you here for?"

"We're here t'see Tail Flight."

"Oh, right.  She's in her bedroom, upstairs."

"Okay.  Thanks."  The Cutie Mark Crusaders run upstairs with Power quickly behind them.

"Hello?" another voice called in response to the CMC and Power running up the stairs.

"Hey Tail Flight.  Just came back from school.  How was yer day off?"

"Kind of surprising."

"Really?!?"  Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle look surprised to the response of a surprising day.

"Yeah.  It only felt like yesterday I got to stay here for the first time.  Now it's been a whole month I've lived here."

Now, Power is getting so curious about that symbol on the front door, he willingly starts to speak.  "Hey, Tail Flight.  I hear you're friends with the son of a former Wonderbolt.  Does that explain the symbol on the front door of this house?"

"Well, it would if it weren't for the fact that another friend of mine was a Wonderbolt himself.  He was my idol."

Power sighs, coming up to Tail Flight.  "You're not the only one."

"Really?"  Tail Flight looks puzzled.  "Don't you have your guardian who looks after you?"

"I just got a new one.  I don't want to talk about it."

Sweetie Belle intervenes with Tail Flight and Power's conversation, "But you-" only to be stopped Applebloom's hoof.

"Quilt off Sweetie Belle!  Let 'em do what they please!"

"Please.  You can tell me.  I won't think anything negative of it."

Power sighs again, wiping a tear off this time.  "The truth is... I moved out from my brother's apartment.  High Glow was accused of neglect, but I know he wouldn't do such a thing.  He was proven guilty.  I didn't want to go into foster care, so I ran as fast as I could out of Canterlot.  I even chose to fly when I had to.  Then, I ended up in this forest or jungle or whatever it was for about a month."

"Oh, is that where you were found?"

Power nods at Tail Flight.  "Scootaloo found me."

"Well, here's the good thing.  At least you (actually we) have ponies who look after you so you won't go into foster care."  Tail Flight's right.  Power's living much better of a life than he thought he would be after running away, even if it took about a month.  That thought alone cheers him up.

"Thank you Tail Flight."  Power hugs Tail Flight snug, who returns it.
