First Day in Ponyville Part 1

Flurry Heart stood on the train platform and covered her ears as the crystal train screeched to a stop. She turned around to say goodbye to her parents and her mother embraced her in a hug.

" I'm gonna miss you Flurry",her mother said blinking away the tears. Flurry looked to her father for support but he was as much of an emotional wreck as she was.

"Relax you guys",Flurry said breaking away from her mother "It's only for the summer, I need to come back and run the empire".

"Sorry hun,we've never had you be away from us. We always left you with Sunburst or Twilight. Now you're on your own",her dad said regaining his composure.

Flurry rolled her eyes but gave her parents a reassuring smile before heading onto the train. She forced herself asleep,if she stayed awake she would be cranky.

Flurry jerked up as the train pulled into the station. She grabbed her luggage and stepped out onto the platform. The station was empty,save for a few older ponies. Flurry let out a sigh of relief. Unlike most 16 year olds, Flurry wasn't a crowd person. Large spaces let her mind wander. She decided to walk to her aunt's castle ,flying would cause too much attention. After a long walk,Flurry knocked on the castle's large doors. A lavender pony with her purple and teal mane pulled into a messy bun answered the door.

"Flurry Heart long time no see!", the mare said levitating her luggage inside. Flurry just smiled and waved,she honestly couldn't remember the mare's name. She hadn't been to Ponyville since she was a filly so a lot of names were unfamiliar.

"Starlight Glimmer" the mare said chuckling. "I don't think we ever formally met" Flurry relaxed a bit but when she saw the state of the castle she was stunned. There were notes and pictures on every wall,the carpet was streaked with a substance and there were toy boxes within 10 feet of each other.

"Um where's my room?" Flurry asked desperate to leave the room.

"It's the old playroom,we locked it so your cousins can't get to it" Starlight answered. Flurry shuddered ,Midnight and Starry Skies were the messiest twins she had ever met. Their parents usually just called it their 'phase' but Twilight disciplined them once for drawing in her books. Flurry teleported to her room with her luggage. It was a basic guest bedroom,it still had the same lemon scented carpet and cloud wallpaper but it was fine.

As Flurry was setting up her closet she heard a small ring from her bag. It was her Connector Gem,it used magic to sync two ponies to each other. Flurry levitated the small,flat disc out of her bag and it glowed white before showing a mare's face.

"Graceful Sapphire hey!" Flurry said to her best friend. The two had been Crystal Scouts as fillies and were inseperable.

"Hi Flurry ,so when you coming back to the Empire?" her friend responded. Flurry let out a slightly unladylike laugh.

"Saph,I just got here you sound like my parents!"
"Heh,sorry Flurry its just gonna be so lame without you. Bolted Gear is in his 'inventing season' so he's gonna be cooped up in his room. " Bolted Gear was Graceful's special somepony but he never spent much time with her. "But that's not why I called you. I know you just got there but DJ Pon3 is having a wicked rager and I feel like you should go."

"Saph ,the ponies here don't party like us,they don't have alchohol." Flurry commented.

"No special juice? Lame but still you should have fun. Trust me." Sapphire said before disconnecting her magic.

"Well guess I'm going to a party" the alicorn thought.

The loud music filled Flurry's ears as she entered the building. The blue spotlight shined on her black metallic jacket as she swayed to the music.
"I'm here might as well try to have fun." she thought. Once the beat dropped she swooped down before raising her head back up in a sexy manner. She shook her hips and nodded her head,ignoring the looks from older stallions. She then got an idea. She flew up to the DJ Booth and laid down a track.
"DJ SKYLA IS IN THE HOUSE" the alicorn yelled over the music. Everypony went wild ,dancing and partying the night away. DJ Pon3 even joined in on the fun. After a while Flurry was starting to get tired so she slipped away to leave. As soon as she stepped outside,she got soaked in the rain.
"FML" she cursed under her breath before using a protection spell. She trotted through the rain as fast as she could,flying would be dangerous. She had a good pace going before she tripped over something. "What the heck?" She said picking up the object. It was heavy and furry with a tail. Then it yawned.

"Holy Celestia!", she screamed before teleporting to Ponyville Hospital. "Help I found a kid in the streets!"

First Day in Ponyville part 2

The kid was rushed to the Emergency wing, Flurry following closely behind. It was a small,blue pegasus
filly with yellow tips at her hooves. Her mane was a two-toned blue and she had freckles. Flurry couldn't see her eye color ,but she could see the scars and bruises on her body. After a few minutes,Nurse Redheart came to speak with Flurry.

"It's a good thing you found her Princess. Her mom gets black-out wasted and then kicks her out . We hadn't seen her in a while so we thought the mom got help but apparently she just hasn't been coming. Every time she gets kicked out she stays the night here but the next morning she gets beat. She's too weak to interact with us but we're going to get social services involved. If you hadn't found her she'd be dead." Flurry was on the brink of tears. On one hand,she wanted to save the little filly but on the other she was mad that a mother would do that to their foal."

"What's her name? I'll adopt her." Flurry said without thinking. Nurse Redheart was suprised but the alicorn was dead serious.

"That's a very impulsive descision,your Highness. But her name is Rare Bloom. I must warn you adoption is a very lengthy process but I will get the adoption papers for you. " As the Nurse left,Flurry stood over the foal. She was quite chubby but cute. Flurry knew that she would be a good mother,she just didn't know if she was ready. Nurse Redheart came back with a stack of papers. Flurry thanked her before teleporting back to the castle and collapsing into bed.

"Morning,niece" Twilight said as she poured herself some tea. Flurry was not in the mood for talking. She couldn't help thinking about the pile of papers on her dresser and Rare Bloom. What if she wasn't meant for motherhood? What would everypony think?.
"Flurry. Equestria to Flurry Heart" Twilight waved a hoof in front of her neice's face.
"Yes? Sorry just tired" that wasn't exactly a lie,she was tired from being out all night.
"I asked you if you wanted some cereal little sleepyhead" Twilight giggled.
"Oh sure. By the way I'm gonna be out all day shopping and stuff." Flurry replied.
Twilight poured the alicorn her cereal into a purple bowl " That's fine , I'll be busy anyway. Have fun"
She gobbled down her cereal before rushing back up to her room. There she saw Starlight looking through her things.

"I-I'm sorry your Highness! I remembered one of the twins left something in this room and-I'm sorry I should have asked. " Flurry's horn sparked ,a sign that she was about to scream but she managed to calm down. She walked in and closed the door behind her.

"Her name is Rare Bloom I found her on the streets last night. She's been through some stuff. She was gonna go into Social services anyway. My best friend was in foster care as a filly. She was lucky enough to get adopted quickly but with Rare ,she might stay in the system. I want to adopt her. You can't tell Twilight."
Starlight hesitated before responding "My lips are sealed. I'll just find the toy. "

Flurry got to work on her papers. After about an hour she was ready to go. She quickly grabbed something from her bag and headed to the hospital.

Rare Bloom had been moved into a normal room,which was a good sign. Flurry didn't know how to approach her,so she walked slowly to the bed. Setting the papers on the nightstand, she levitated the object over to the filly.

"Sweetie,my name is Flurry Heart",she spoke softly,almost inaudible "I'm the one who found you. The nurse told you've been through a lot and I would like to adopt you. " The little foal stirred and barely opened her eyes.

Flurry gave the object to the filly, "This is Whammy. He was my favorite toy when I was little. I want you to take good care of him." The little filly slowly opened her beautiful bronze eyes. They were cold but somewhere deep inside there was still a glimmer of excitement. The filly hugged the toy tightly.

"Are you my new Mama?" Rare asked looking at the alicorn. "My old Mama was a scary monster. "
Flurry was conflicted. On one hoof she was planning to adopt the young foal, but on the other it hadn't been finalized yet.

Flurry became uneasy "I'm not your mama yet but once you get better I will be. There was a light giggle from the doorway. Nurse Redheart had been standing there the whole time.

"You two are so cute.",she said as she walked into the room.

"Flurry Heart I need to talk to Rare,so you'll need to step outside. Patient confidentiality and all that" The alicorn understood and walked out. The few minutes felt like an eternity before she was finally let back in.

Rare looked like she had seen somepony die ,while Nurse Redheart just looked solemn. "She's sick with Posion Fever. She can't leave the hospital",the nurse told Flurry. The alicorn was devastated,she blinked away the tears and looked at the poor foal. Nurse Redheart continued "As for you,your highness. All your paperwork is in order. ",she grabbed a form from the pile "Except for this signature form. Since you are under the legal adoption age ,you need to get this consent form signed by your parents. I'm assuming they don't know. ",the alicorn nodded her head. Nurse Redheart gave one last look at her patient before walking out the room. The alicorn sat on a nearby chair and wrote a letter explaining her situation to her parents. She attached the form to it before mailing it off. The alicorn spent the rest of the day in and out of the hospital watching over her future daughter.

Author's Note

I forgot to add,Posion Fever is pony cancer. Yes,this story is deep. Posion Fever is when a pony gets a toxic substance in their body,like alcohol.

Reactions

Sorry this is short. I rushed it.

Reactions

In the Crystal Empire,Cadence and Shining Armor were bored. Shining's gaurds in training had graduated to Cadets and Cadence didn't have anyone to talk to. They were overjoyed when they got a letter from their daughter.
"Shining look, Flurry wrote to us!", the princess said giddy. " The couple read it excitedly but they soon became disappointed.

"Should we sign it? This is a lot of commitment" Shining asked his wife. Cadence nodded in approval.

"If this is what she wants to do,we should support her. " Cadence answered. And with that,the parents signed the form and sent it back.

Meanwhile,Flurry was anxiously waiting for her friend to connect. She had stepped outside the hospital room,just in case things got a little agressive. Sapphire was usually pretty calm ,but sometimes she could go off the rails.

"What's up",Sapphire answered. So far so good. Flurry took a deep breath before quickly explaining her situation and her descision. "

Finally her friend spoke "Flurry Heart what is wrong with you? You're 16,you have a life to live,why are you hanging out with some depressed foal?"
The princess tensed her muscles "Sapphire she's not depressed,she's a victim. A victim of abuse. She needs help"
Sapphire replied "So let somepony else deal with her. Go live your life."
It took everything in the princess' power not to curse out her friend. " Unlike you Sapphire" the mare said through clenched teeth. "I don't want to spend my life doing nothing. I want to be her mother and I don't need your approval",she said before disconnecting her magic. Flurry felt a tap on her shoulder. She turned around to see Nurse Redheart standing there with a form in her hooves.

"Congratulations your highness. You're going to be a mother. ". Flurry's frown turned into a smile and her eyes lit up. "Of course you're going to have to get her schooling and such worked out as well as her treatment but you can handle that."

"Speaking of treatment,I know she has to get some type of reduction injection done every week. Can she do that in the Crystal Empire?"Flurry asked,a smile still on her face.

"Yes although we would advise keeping her here for the first few injections,to see how her body reacts." the nurse answered. Flurry walked inside to see a sleepy Rare Blossom,hugging her toy.

"I'll tell her later",the alicorn thought watching the filly drift off to sleep.

The Royal family,along with Starlight were gathered around the dinner table,having a salad. The twins were playing with their food,Flash was eating and Starlight was being awkward as always. Flurry swallowed a bite of grass before speaking up.

"Auntie Twi,I adopted a foal",the young alicorn said anxious. It took everything in Starlight's power to keep from spitting out her drink,while Flash and the twins just looked confused. Twilight just stared blankly.

Flash leaned over to whisper "She hasn't talked during dinner in 3 years,ever since the Peanut Butter Incident. " Flurry Heart had never heard the story but apparently it was gruesome. She decided to talk to her aunt in the morning.

Commitment

Author's Note

This chapter is short but still worth reading.

Commitment

The pink alicorn rolled out of bed and landed on the floor, the lemon scent filling her nostrils. She got up and stretched, popping her wings. She shaked her head lightly to get her messy waves to straighten before walking downstairs. She poured herself some cereal into a ceramic bowl and sat down to eat. Soon,her aunt came downstairs. The purple princess poured herself some cofee and sat at the table.

"Auntie Twi, I uh I adopted a foal",Flurry finally said breaking the silence. Twilight looked up suprised. She put her mug down, giving her neice a "Are you serious?" look. Flurry Heart was serious.

"Oh um,that's great helping the community and all that. It's just, I don't know if you're ready." Twilight had just added to the mare's greatest fear, plus Flurry hated dissapointing her aunt and it felt like she had done just that. Flurry got up, setting her half empty bowl of cereal on the counter before leaving. It was awkward tension, like the moment you don't know why you're tense, but you are. Flurry headed to the hospital, it was her first day as a mom!

Flurry knocked on the room door happily. Nurse Redheart opened it. It was decked out in blue and purple from the sheets to the curtains. Above the bed was a banner that read "HAPPY ADOPTION", in balloon letters. Rare Bloom had a huge smile on her face,she had a paper crown on her head and was holding her Whammy. Flurry ran over to give her daughter a big hug.
"Can I call you Mama",the filly asked.
"You can call me anything you like",the Alicorn answered.
"I love you Mama" the filly said smiling. The princess coudn't keep the tears from falling. She was fully commited to her new daughter,no matter the obstacles.
