One day after a week had passed since the defeat of Discord. Solar was out getting food for herself because she was low.

As she passed by an alley between two buildings, she heard the sound of an empty stomach grumbling. Curious, she walked into the alley following the sound. The sound was coming from a box in the corner of the alley. Solar opened the box and found a filly pegasus laying there scared, but unable to move from being so weak from hunger.

Solar felt sorry for the filly and gave her some of the food she bought. The filly was hesitant to take the food at first, but her hunger won. She ate everything that Solar gave to her.

"Hello." Said Solar. "I'm Solar Flame. What's your name?"

"Um- I don't know." replied the filly.

Solar instantly became worried when she said her answer. If the filly had no name, that means she had no parents.

"Well, what do you think of the name Crystal burst?"

The filly thought about this for several seconds before responding. "I like that name."

"Well, Crystal, do you want to come to stay at my house?"

"S-Sure." replied Crystal. She tried to fly onto Solar's back, but was still too weak to.

Solar levitated the filly onto her back and flew back over to her house. While flying back, Solar only had one thought on her mind. She needs a home. I want, no, I need to adopt her.

When they got to Solar's house, Solar sent a message to Twilight. The message said, "Twilight, I need you to come over to my house as soon as possible. Earlier today, I found a pegasus filly with no name laying in a box. She was very weak from hunger when I found her so I gave her some of my food and took her back to my house.
Solar."

Twilight got the message and quickly rushed over to Solar's house. When she got there, Solar talked to her about how she needed to adopt Crystal.

"Could you watch Crystal while I get the adoption papers?" Asked Solar

"Sure" Answered Twilight

"Great, thanks."

Solar then teleported to the Ponyville Adoption Center for the adoption papers for Crystal burst.

"Excuse me." Said Solar, "I'm here for adoption papers."

"Alright. I'll need to ask questions about the pony you're adopting."

"Sure."

"Filly or colt?"

"Filly."

"Pegasus, Earth Pony, or Unicorn?"

"Pegasus."

"Name?"

"Crystal burst is her name and Solar Flame is my name."

"Do you have anything in your house that is dangerous to young ponies?"

"No."

"Perfect. Here are the papers."

"Thank you."

Solar left the adoption center with the papers and went back to her house.

"I'm back Twilight. How's Crystal?"

"She's good, but. . ."

"But what?" Said Solar, slightly nervous.

"She might have put a cloaking spell on her horn because she is actually an alicorn."

"WHAT!!! SHE'S AN ALICORN!!!!"

"Apparently."

"Well, at least she isn't hurt. Crystal, I need to show you something."

"What is it?"

"First, how much do you want a mother?"

"I-I" Crystal said, starting to cry. "I want one so bad, I've lived alone on the streets my whole life. Both of my parents died before they could even name me."

"Well, I have good news." Replied Solar. She pulled out the certificate for Crystal's adoption and gave it to Crystal. "Read this."

Crystal read the paper and instantly ran up to Solar. She was crying from joy while repeating "Thank you" and hugged her.

Solar hugged her back, also crying. They stopped hugging and crying shortly after.

"Well, I should head back to the library." Said Twilight, "Good luck with Crystal, Solar."

"I will" Replied Solar.

"So, Crystal. Let me show you your room. Then we'll set you up for school."

"Okay." Replied Crystal

Solar showed Crystal her room. The walls were painted sky-blue with white clouds. there was a small bed, a desk with a lamp, a chest for toys, and a nightstand. The room also had a window with multi colored drapes that shone many different colors into the room whenever the sun was out.

"What do you think?"

"I like it."

"I figured you would. Now, let's go to the Ponyville schoolhouse to register you for school."

"Okay" Replied Crystal

"Perfect." Said Solar, walking out of her house with Crystal.

It didn't take them long to get the the schoolhouse. They walked inside to meet Ms. Cheerilee.

"Hello Ms. Cheerilee." Said Solar

"Hello Solar. What brings you to the schoolhouse today?"

"I'm here to register my daughter, Crystal burst, for school."

The two chatted for a couple hours to prepare Crystal for school. When they were done, Cheerilee told them that school would be starting tomorrow at 8:00. Solar then took Crystal to Sugarcube corner for ice cream.

"Hey Solar." Said Pinkie.

"Hi Pinkie. I came for two ice cream cones. One for me and one for my adopted daughter, Crystal burst."

"ADOPTED!!!"

"No, I don't want a party yet." Said Solar, knowing that Pinkie threw a party whenever she got the chance. "Crystal needs to get used to being around ponies before I even consider having a party for her."

"Alright. But when you think that Crystal is used to being around ponies, I'm throwing a party for her."

By this time, Pinkie already had the cones ready for Solar and Crystal. She gave the cones to them and they enjoyed them.

When they finished the cones, it was late, and Crystal had to go to bed. So Solar levitated Crystal on her back again before teleporting them back to her house. Solar brought Crystal, who was already sleeping, to her bedroom and laid her in her bed before going to her bed.
