DemiRarity walks through ManeHatten. It is a stormy rainy day. She has her umbrella out and continues trotting. She has come here for a peaceful vacation. She tried to pay DemiTwi some bits to babysit Jasper, but DemiTwi offered to babysit him for free. She continues her path watching everypony go inside due to stormy weather. She stumbles upon a small colt lying in an alleyway. She immediately gasps and runs to the colt who seems to be sleeping. She carries the colt and makes pace to the hotel she has booked. After what seemed to be forever, she finally made it to the hotel and into her room. She places the colt on the bed and puts a blanket over him.

"Oh, my darling... how could any pony leave you out in weather like that? Only such a cruel monster would do that... I promise to get you back to your family. For now, you rest, okay?" DemiRarity says stroking the pony's mane. She sits down on the side of the bed looking out the window.

"Who would do such a thing to you? How would any pony leave you out like that in such weather? I must take care of you until I give your parents a piece of my mind!!!" DemiRarity says frustrated.

DemiRarity watches as the sun sets down. The colt stays put sleeping. DemiRarity cleans up the colt and tries to wake them up. The colt stays sleeping. DemiRarity soon gives up and falls asleep herself. She has a difficult time sleeping thinking about how a miserable pony can leave a young colt in an alleyway. Her anger rises. She thinks about what she will tell the parents when she finds them. She stops herself when her thoughts turn rather bloody. She soon falls asleep.

The sun rises meaning a new day has come. DemiRarity wakes up and still sees the colt sleeping. DemiRarity sighs in relief until the colt wakes up slowly. DemiRarity watches wide-eyed. The colt looks at her. DemiRarity looks back.

"Uh... hello little one! Are you... okay?" DemiRarity asks in a calm voice.

"Where am I? Who are you!? Get away! What have you done to me!? This is not me! What is happening to me?!" The cold exclaims in fear.

"Hey hey calm down! What happened?? Don't be scared!" DemiRarity says trying to calm the colt down.

"No! Get away! Don't hurt me! Please!" The colt says shaking in fear backing up into a corner.

DemiRarity wonders what to do not wanting to hurt the colt The colt looks at her in fear. Tears seem to begin forming but DemiRarity cannot tell due to the black eyes. She finds it unusual but does not question the colt to not make him more scared than he already is. DemiRarity slowly goes up to the colt. She makes sure not to startle him.

"Are you going to hurt me miss?" The colt asks.

"Of course not, darling... why would I ever want to hurt a colt? What's your name?" DemiRarity asks in a soft tone.

"I don't know... I can't remember..."

"It is okay darling. You don't need to be scared. Where are your parents?"

The colt thinks to himself for a bit until he shrugs. DemiRarity is caught off guard by this. A colt without parents? How could this be?

"What do you mean you don't know?... Do you even have parents?" DemiRarity asks concerned.

"No... I don't have any parents... I just found myself here... I ran into an alleyway because I was tired... First, I landed in a weird village. Then I found myself running and running. I reached a train station and boarded it without anypony noticing me. I ended up here when the sky started to darken. I ran into an alleyway to rest and fell asleep... finally I'm here." The colt explains.

"Hm... so you... don't have parents? But how... how does that work?" DemiRarity asks confused.

"I don't know... but I feel nauseous..." The colt says looking as if he's about to faint.

"It's okay. You know what? I am taking you home." DemiRarity says.

DemiRarity packs all her stuff and grabs a trash bag. She carries the colt on her back. DemiRarity walks out of the building and makes pace to the train station. She quickly makes it. The colt seems to have fallen asleep not responsive.

It takes an hour or two before DemiRarity and the small colt have arrived at the DemiVille train station. DemiRarity walks towards her boutique and drops off the colt. She arrives at DemiTwi’s library and picks up Jasper. On the way back to the boutique she tells Jasper everything that happened.

"A small colt in an alleyway? That's so cruel! Who would do that to a child!?"

"I know Jasper... but I had an idea! It's already in action!" DemiRarity says. She opens the boutique doors and shouts, "Say hello to your little brother!"

"Brother?! I never thought I'd see this coming! Heck yeah! He runs up to the colt greeting him and everything.

DemiRarity stays outside closing the door. She stares at the ground thinking to herself.

"Perhaps... this is a second chance after what happened... I won't make the same mistake I did with DemiBelle again... I won't let it happen! I'll be better..." DemiRarity says determined to not let the same thing that happened with DemiBelle happen again.

The colt opens the front door and looks at DemiRarity.

"Why did you bring me here miss?.." The colt asks looking at her confused tilting his head.

DemiRarity looks at him and notices something different. His eyes seem to be different. It's not black anymore but now normal white eyes with green pupils. His coat color seems to have been tinted brighter showing his mud stains on his hooves and freckles. DemiRarity wants to question this but does not.

"Welcome to your new home." DemiRarity says smiling.

The colt smiles and bounces up and down with tons of energy. He stops and looks at DemiRarity again.

"I think I remember my name now!" The colt says.

"What is it darling?" DemiRarity asks curiously.

"It's Wilted! Wilted Bloom!" Wilted says.
