It asks me to sign my name.. I don't have one. DUMB PAPER!

Vincenza Staccato, better know as Vinyl Scratch, and Octavia Philharmonica, simply known as Octavia to most, signed their names onto the paper. It was a big step... The biggest step... Admittedly their parents would claim that things were out of order. That the marriage should come first, but they Needed to do this now! The foal had to be scared frightened. Surely this would let it know that they were here for it. There were a few things they had to figure out before they asked the foal... The birth certificate had only three options for pony species, Pegasus, Unicorn, and TerraPony. This would be a long day.

With a light creak as the "Unicorn" foal they were worried about entered the room. It looked up at them with big eyes and sat down....

"food?" It asked... the eyes... the EYES... the CUTE.... Diabetus!!!! SQUUEEEEE!!! Wait... ohh... so "she" had changed again.

Octavia ran over to the form and marked out the box labeled "herm and put a checkmark in the box on "female"... It seemed that the horn and wings weren't the only part it could loose. Wait... Octavia almost stumbled as she turned around, she rubbed her eyes roughly and looked again at the filly.

Upon the filly's back were two things, a sword, and a bag. What was in the bag?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I smiled over the bowl of alfalfa before me. It was delicious wondrous stuff! SOooo much better then the nasty old hospital food. Miss Scratch and Miss Octavia kept looking at me with what I think was a woried look. They had been giving me that look all morning. It may have been the saddle bag filled with the blood covered metal armor I was carrying around... or the sword strapped to my back...

" Dear we would like to ask... Have you decided on a name yet?" Ohh yeah! I had totally forgot about that!

" I haven't..." I looked at my forehooves in shame... They sighed loudly in disappointment... I disappointed them... "sniff" I looked back up when a small rustling sound started approaching me.

" Me and Octavia have a very important question to ask you." It was Vinyl she was holding a very... long paper?

" ... Dear you know me and Octavia care about eachother right?"

"Yeah..." what a weird thing to ask! I thought everyone knew.

" And that we both care about you, but in a different way, right?"

"yes..." I certainly hoped so! If Miss Scratch didn't care about me... I... I didn't like thinking about that.

"Do you know what a mother is?"

" I ... I think so... Momies are mares that love a foal very much and... raise her?" I still wasn't sure what "raise" meant, but that was what Miss Red Cross told me.

" Well... Me and Octavia both would like to be your Mothers..." Wait...

" I..." I...

" Would you like to be our daughter!"

"I..."

" If you wouldn't like that all you have to say is no." No...? I.. Wait! Miss Scratch was looking worried! She thought I would say no??

" YES!"

"..." She said nothing just drawing me into her fur and nuzzling me. I.. I could have this every day... every day I could be safe and with her and...

"YES!!!... I... I .. MOMMMMMYYYY!!" I couldn't think hardly! I felt another set of forelegs around me. That must be miss octavia... I opened my eyes.. did she want me to be her daughter too? She... She looked worried still! I looked right at her and let out the first thing that came to mind.

" mommy!" She tightened her hug around me. It was complete Elysium, pure warmth, good things and kittens and cookies. I wanted this to last forever!!!!

I was a bit disappointed when Miss Scratch stopped hugging me, but there was the paper in front of me.

" This form makes us your official mother and... mother. You signing it will make it official"

"what does signing mean?"

She pointed to some words on the paper. "See this here?

" Vin-vinchen-za... Vincenza! ... Stac-stac-staccato... Staccato!... Who is that!?" She looked at me funny for a moment, but then started smiling.

" That is me. Vinyl Scratch is just a name my friends made up for me! It was really special so I ask all my friends and those I care about to call me that. Me writing my signature on this paper means I say it official."

" signature?"

" Yes you need to write your name on it in a special way only you can do. That way everypony knows that you want to be our daughter." Ohh..

" But I don't have a name... d... d *sniff... Does this mean I can't be your daughter? Does it mean you can't *sniff* love me?" This was horrible! She woul-

" NO! No! no! no. no, We will both love you very much no matter what any paper says, but others will misunderstand that. Signing this paper makes it so everypony can understand that we love you!"

" O *sniff* ohh... Then I should make a name so that everypony understands that you love me?" What a strange way to explain that they loved me.

" No you need a name, because, because,.... Because ... Okay You know how you call me miss scratch?" I nodded... "well when you say Miss Scratch, everypony understands you mean me. Its how they remember me, and any thoughts they have about me include my name. A name represents and is a part of me. It shows who I am... Do you understand?" That... made sense?

" I think... so."

" Well then you need to have a name that represents you! That everypony will think of when they think about you. It would be especially good for Octavia for me when we think about you. Though I suppose we could just think daughter, and know we meant you with all our hearts." Miss Octavia was still hugging me, it was so warm and wonderful!

Then it struck me... It hurt ALOT! My brain reverberated with the clanging of a idea smacking right into me! It... I THOUGHT OF A NAME!

" Fantasi!"

" wait what?"

" Fantasi Vincenzadóttir! Its extra cool!" My voice seemed a bit light... What was that about?

"Ohh... What made you think of that?..." Wait.... where HAD that come from... I trie-

" OUCH!"-That hurt! My brain thingy was hurting! I... wait... aaarrrg!! " I...I... I... I.....I!!!!!... I don't know..."

I looked back up to try and go hug Miss Scratch and feel warm, but almost jolted in surprise as Miss Octavia wrapped her forelegs around me again first. Miss Octavia was warm... soooooo warm... My head hurt so much

" mommy..."

" Doctor me and my fiancee thank you from the bottoms of our hearts for helping us fill this certificate out. We-" Doctor Bones waved his hoof dismissively. To shush the mare before him.

" It is my greatest joy in life to fill out forms like this, even if it is far belated of the actual birthdate. And I am humbled you thought of me for this job." Doctor Bones gave a heart warming smile. It matched the warm orange of his fur and the calm green of his hair. "And again don't worry about miss... Fantasi." He smiled a bit more. "It was probably the surprise of the event that caused her to faint. Once she wakes up she will be as good as new, and I believe she will have the greatest day of her life if today didn't count."

He watched the two mares walk into Fantasi's hospital room. It was strange how everyone in the hospital called it that now, they had barely found out the foal's new name about three hours ago, it had of course been " The foal's room" before that.... It was kind of the filly's permanent hospital room now.

It had been a little over a decade since the Doctor known as "bones" had broken up with his wife. The phrase "she took everything but my bones in the divorce" was his namesake now. A few weeks ago she had written to him from Københoof, begged him to give her another chance. He had been so mad at the time, but now...

Doctor Bones had some vacation time he should be using, and his friends said the snowfall in Københoof was beautiful.
