Cadence Founds The Crystal Kingdom Orphanage

The next day, the couple that Cadence had met the day before come in with their daughter in tow this time. "Hello," says Cadence to them with a smile. "I don't believe I caught your names last time you were in."

"Oh," says the mare surprised, "the name is Wind Chime Heart."

"And mine is Coal Dust," responds her husband.

"And I'm Miracle Chimes," adds the filly.

"Hello, child," says Cadence with a smile. "It's nice to meet you."

"And you as well princess," responds Miracle with a toothy grin.

The four then walk down the hall together and into the main room where all the orphans are playing and talking together. "Can I see Orchid Lily, Angel Glow, and Marigold?" asks Cadence with a smile. The three then come running over to her and they exit the room along with her and the family. They then go into a play room. There, Cadence observes to see which one Miracle Chimes gets along with best.

"Look at her smile," says Wind Chime Heart to her husband, "I haven't seen that in awhile."

"Yeah," responds Coal Dust, "it's nice."

After several hours of playing together, the three orphans are sent into a sitting room to wait. The potential adopters talk it over with Cadence in her office on who they want to take in.

"So," says Cadence, "who do you think is the best fit to your daughter?"

"I liked Orchid Lily," says Miracle chiming in.

"As do we," responds Wind Chime Heart. "We're interested in adopting Orchid Lily."

Over the following days, paper gets signed and gets approved by the system and five weeks later, Orchid Lily is taken home by Wind Chime Heart and Coal Dust. She and Miracle end up getting along great and that makes Miracle's parents so glad. They even send a picture of her and her newly adopted sister to her brothers, who also take a liking to Orchid Lily. To be honest, they're just glad their sister is happy and has somepony to play with. To her family, the fact that she now has a playmate is the best feeling in the world because they can finally relax for once since they no longer have to keep her entertained.
