Offering A Young Filly A New Home by Matt Davenport (novel books to read TXT) 📕

it became hard to have them in the cottage.

 

“Now a few questions,” Daytime Garden started, “First question, “Why do you want to adopt a pony?”she asked, waiting for an answer.

 

“I just want to make her happy and I've actually always wanted to be a mother,” Fluttershy said.

“Next question, can you fit a young pony into your life?” Daytime Garden asked.

 

Fluttershy noded, “Yes I can, if it means I have to spend less time with my friends then that’s okay.”

Daytime Garden smiled but had one last question. “Last one, you live alone, who will care for her if you're gone?

 

Fluttershy smiled, “I know someone who can, my friend, Discord. He’s great with kids.” she said.

Inspection complete she walked back over to Fluttershy. It appeared that her answers were satisfactory because the next words out of her mouth were; “Everything looks good. I think this is a perfect place for a filly,” she said handing Fluttershy her inspection approval.

“Just give that to the caretaker at the orphanage,” Daytime Garden said. She started walking off but was brought into a small hug.

 

“Oh thank you, thank you, you have no idea how happy this makes me!” Fluttershy said excitedly she ran off back to the orphanage.

 

Once she got there she gave the paper to Summer Love.

Summer Love smiled. “I know you’re going to make a great mother Fluttershy,” she said as she went next to the stairs. “Scootaloo come down here, somepony is here to get you.”

Within a few moments Scootaloo came down.

 

[i]“Another stupid lonely Hearth’s Warming. I don’t know why nopony wants to adopt me. I’m good at a lot of things, I’d make an okay child,”[/i] she thought as she made it down the stairs.

“What do you want?” she asked curiously.

 

Summer Love simply smiled, “You won’t be alone this Hearths Warming Scootaloo, you're going to share it with somepony,” she said pointing a hoof towards Fluttershy.

 

Fluttershy walked close to Scootaloo and  gave her the adoption certificate, “I saw how sad you were when you got bullied by today. I couldn’t stand seeing you alone today of all days, so thought I’d ask you would you like to live with me,maybe like my...daughter?” she asked.

 

Tears began to drop from Scootaloo’s eyes landing on the ground she dropped the paper and ran to Fluttershy giving her a big hug. “Yes! Yes, this is what I've always wanted, please tell me this isn’t a prank!”

“Of course not Scootaloo. I’d never joke about this” she said,  kissing Scootaloo on the head.

 

Scootaloo smiled, she was happier than she could ever remember being. For once she had a mother, somepony to actually take care of her, “C-can we go home, please...mom?”

Fluttershy was surprised that Scootaloo would call her mom so easily. “You really want to call me mom? You don’t have to if you don’t want to.”

 

“Try going ten years without a  parent. I am just happy somepony like you loves me,” she said sniffing.

Once they finished the last bit of paperwork needed to finalize the adoption, they headed back to Fluttershy’s place; now complete with Scootaloo’s new room. A welcome home banner was hung in the center, most likely a gift from Pinkie.

 

Fluttershy smiled seeing that her friends finished with the room. She wanted to thank them but unfortunately her friends were gone. [i]“They probably left to go be with their own families. I’ll thank them tomorrow,”[/i] she thought.

 

Scootaloo ran straight into the cottage, seeing  her room, she was  surprised. “Wow, this is really my room?”

Fluttershy noded. “It’s all yours.”  Fluttershy put Scootaloo on her back gently. “Hey Scootaloo, wanna help me decorate the tree?” she asked.

 

Scootaloo’s eyes brightened up, “You bet I would mom,” she said cheerfully .

They made it to the tree and Fluttershy pulled out her box of Hearth’s Warming decorations. A star for the top, a few orbs for the bottom and even some candy canes.

 

“Let’s start decorating, shall we pumpkin?” Fluttershy said hoofing over a few candy canes and small orbs to Scootaloo.

 

As the time passed the new family celebrated their first Hearth’s Warming Eve together. Eventually Celestia’s beautiful sun light began to vanish and Luna’s moon  began to shine signaling that it was time for all little fillies to go to bed.

 

 Fluttershy tucked her new daughter into bed. It made her smile seeing that she was able to make Scootaloo happy. Tomorrow would start their new life together. And the rest of their lives would be great.
