Cover art final panel from this comic, which the fic is based upon.

Comic dub by Magpiepony here (WHICH I ADVISE YOU WATCH BEFORE READING).

Mr. and Mrs Cake have just opened up there new business in Ponyville, the Sugar Cube Corner and business is better than they could've really hoped.

Returning home after visiting the mayor to finalize some paperwork that day, Mrs Cake hears the sound of crying from somewhere in town.

Upon investigating, she finds a young fawn. From what she can gather, the poor thing has been abandoned.

Not wanting to leave the young one alone, she takes her home and she and her husband soon learn... there's more to this fawn than meets the eye

Completely Alternate Universe where Applejack grows up as a deer.... and it's all baby Rarity's fault.

Also, clearly, Deer are confirmed sentient in this fic's universe, so ignore the two deer you see in Filli Vanilli when reading this fic.
