Dynamo felt Starling embrace him and he returned the gesture. "I promise to always visit, little sister. Cross my heart, hope to fly, stick a cupcake in my eye." He said as he did the gestures of the promise. Out of nowhere he heard the word 'forever' echo from far away. Dynamo looked everywhere to make sure he wasn't hearing things. He blinked twice before replying, 'O...kay, weird. Y-Yeah, that was the idea. Anyway, I need to get going. It was nice meeting you everypony, see you tomorrow." He blushed from Candy Hearts assumption and left the shop. On his way he started off in a walk, but broke off into a run. He couldn't stop smiling after everything that happened today. He took one giant step and a leap and he felt he was flying. His smile turned into a giant grin and he closed his eyes before yelling to the sky, "I have a marefriend! Best day ever!" As he landed he tripped and fell forward onto the pavement. "I'm okay!" He yelled to nopony in particular and got up to dust himself off. He started back for home as the sky finally turned to night and Luna's moon was hung in the air.

Orange giggles and yawns cutely before Chocolate chuckles and picks her up "come on baby girl, lets get you and your baby sister into bed, tomorrow we'll take her to get new clothes and toys" he says, nuzzling both his daughters.

 

Orange giggles "Can Dynamo come too?" she asks cutely and innocently,  

 

"Well, that's up to him sweetie, he might have things to do tomorrow" Chocolate says as he then proceeds to tuck them in, giving Orange her stuffed wolf and then magicking one for Starling.

 

Candy was close behind and begun to sing a lullaby for the two of them

Dynamo finally made it home. He found his parents in their living room and sat down to talk to them. After going over how his day had went, his parents were happy for him. "Well done, my son. I'm really proud of how you handled yourself. You also seem to have a keeper there." Quick Fix said with a wink as he patted Dynamo on the shoulder.

 

Dynamo smiled at the praise and blushed at his dad's joking nature before replying, "Thanks dad and it was nothing really. I'm just glad nopony got hurt. I'm really tired so I think I'm going to turn in for tonight." Dynamo said as he got up from his seat. He nuzzled both his parents and gave them a hug before leaving the room. Before he left his mother, Gentle Step, replied, "It's really nice to see you have a special somepony. Orange sounds like a really kind mare. I hope we get to meet her sometime." She said with a smile. 

 

Dynamo looked around the corner with a smile before replying, "Thanks mom and I think that would be nice. I love you both, good night." With that Dynamo left the living room and headed into his room. After getting changed into his pajamas, he slipped into bed and allowed sleep and the dream world to claim him once more. Dreams of him and Orange spending time together filled his head, causing a small smile to grace his lips as he dreamed.

The next morning, Orange slowly opens her eyes as she feels the sun's warmth warm up her fur and when she opens her eyes, she sees that Starling must have climbed into bed with her after having a nightmare. She was unsure of what to do really, but she then remembered what her parents would do when she had nightmares. Holding the filly close to her, she protects her and asks with a kiss to her forehead "Did you have a bad dream little sis?" she asks, nuzzling the filly once more.

 

Starling nods as she slowly wakes up "uhuh, I-I dreamed you and mummy and daddy no want me anymore, just like my weal mama and dada" she says ,curling up in a frightened ball. 

 

Orange sighs, she knew that feeling all to well, despite how many times her mother and father would reassure her that they will always love her and want her around, she still couldn't help but feel that she was a burden, she pulls the filly in close "shh,we will always want you" she coos softly, gently stroking her ears

The next day, Dynamo woke up an hour earlier than he usually does. He groans as the sun hasn't come up yet and tries to go back to sleep, but to no avail. He then sits up and turns on his video games to occupy him. After a while of playing games, he sees that the sun had risen into the sky as he looked out his window. With a stretch of his limbs and a big yawn, he replies, "Okay, time to get up and ready." With that he does he normal routine of getting ready for school and puts his uniform on. He then heads down to get some breakfast. He enter's the kitchen to see Gentle Step making pancakes for breakfast and Quick Fix reading the paper. He takes a seat, taking a couple of pancakes and after adding syrup, begins to eat. His parents notice Dynamo and reply, "Good morning sweetheart, did you sleep well?" Dynamo nods a bit after swallowing his food. "Yeah, although I got up a bit early, I slept well." He said with another yawn as he rubbed the sleep out of his eyes.

 

"So, do you have any plans after school today?" Quick Fix asked as he looked up from his newspaper. Dynamo closed his eyes in thought on if he had anything to do. He opened his eyes in realization and remembered he did. "Actually I might head on over to Twilight's and see if there is a book that would help me with my project." Dynamo said as he took a drink of his juice. Quick Fix had a sly smile on his face before replying, "Wow son. I didn't know you were going to go out with another mare so soon. So how does it feel, champ?" Dynamo spit up his drink and coughed a few times.

 

"Dad why would you say something like that!? I would never betray Orange like that. You know that!" Dynamo said with an angry look on his face. He knew his dad was messing around with him, but hearing his dad joke about his relationship like that was a bit much. Gentle Step went over to Quick Fix and bopped him over the head. "Now dear, while it's fine every now and again to tease our son about his new marefriend. I won't allow you to accuse him of doing something I know he'll never do. We raised him better to treat others with respect and not something so horrible as to cheat on another mare." Gentle Step said with a crossed look on her face. Dynamo nodded his head and thanked Gentle Step for defending him. Quick Fix apologized to Dynamo who just waved his hand in front of him, telling him it was okay and that he forgiven his dad.

She nuzzles her lovingly "Come on baby sis, lets go get breakfast" she says, getting up and then picking up Starling in her arms.

 

Starling giggles and nuzzles her some more "O-ok big sis" she says "will Dynamo be comin over today? I wanna see big brother" she asks cutely as she curls up in a small ball, making Orange smile and pet her like she was a kitten.

 

"I don't know, he might be over at Twilight's for school" Orange says with a sigh, helping Starling into a high chair, and then goes to get her breakfast, as she does, she picks up the phone and dials Dynamo's number.

As Dynamo was just finishing up his breakfast, he heard his phone going off. He checked to see who it was and saw that it was Orange. He excused himself from the table so he wouldn't be disturbed and went to his room. As he made it to his room he sat down back down on the bed, answered the phone and replied, "Hey Orange, good morning. What's up?" Dynamo had a smile on his muzzle as he answered the phone.

As it was a warm, summer day, she wanted to wear something that would look nice on her but would also give her enough freedom to move.

Dynamo went to his bed and sat against one of the walls in his room. He crossed his legs and closed his eyes. 'I know I have to see if Twilight has any books for my game project. Though I do want to spend some time with Orange and the others. I think I have and idea.' He thought as he opened his eyes and uncrossed his legs. He smiled before replying, "I do have to visit Twilight and see if she has any books on my project, just like Miss Luna suggested. I do have an idea though. Maybe most of the day we can hang out and go shopping. That way, you, me and Starling can all spend time together. Then after some time, we can go see Twilight and see if she has any books we might need. I honestly don't know where she is and I'm a bit nervous on meeting somepony new. Would that be okay?" He asked, hopeful that his idea would work out okay.

"Oh okay, awesome! Sounds like a plan. I'll message you when I'm on the way. I'll see you and Starling soon. I love you too." Dynamo smiled as he did a soft kiss to the phone as well. He got up out of his sitting position in his bed and went back to the kitchen. As he entered the kitchen, he retook his seat and turned to face Gentle step. "That was Orange. She and Starling are going out shopping and they asked me to join them. I'm going with them and then we are going to the library afterwards." He said as he began finishing up his breakfast.

 

"That sounds wonderful sweetheart. Though you should probably change into something nice. You're still in your school uniform." Gentle said as she giggled softly. Dynamo had a confused look on his face before looking down and realizing that Gentle was right. "Aw man, I thought I had school today. Waking up early today messed up my sleep schedule." Dynamo said as he groaned and slammed his head onto the table in embarrassment.

 

"I was wondering when you were going to catch on son. I thought you would have noticed sooner." Quick Fix said as he lowered his paper again to address Dynamo. A small smirk and chuckle escaped from his lips. Dynamo replied while mumbling, "Please dad that's not helping. Anyway, I'll message you when I'm coming home. I'll see you guys later. Love you, bye." Dynamo said as he raised his head from the table and left to get ready. He went into his room again and tried to figure out what he would want to wear today. Hearing the weather report to be warm, he wanted to find something comfortable to wear.

After looking in the mirror to see his appearance, he nods his head in approval and grabs his wallet and phone. He then exits his room and heads back to the kitchen to notify his parents that he was going. He then exits the house and walks towards the candy shop to meet up with Orange and Starling.

Dynamo felt his phone ringing and found he received a text message from Orange. As he pulled the phone out of his pocket to read the message, he felt as if his stomach had just dropped. His eyes slightly widened in worry as he was reading the text message. He began to text Orange back to see if he could get any more info. "Are you and Starling okay? What about your parents? Where is everyone at and is the shop open, or do I have to knock? I'll be at the shop in just a little bit." After sending the message, his walk suddenly turned into a run as he rushed on over to the shop as fast as he could.

I'm right near the shop. I promise everything will be okay. I won't let anything happen to you or Starling." As he sent the message he reached the door to the shop. He tried to calm his quickened heartbeat as he reached for the door. Sure enough, it was unlocked like Orange said and he went inside. It felt weird seeing it empty so early in the morning, but that wasn't what concerned him. "E-Excuse me, Mr. Swirl? Mrs. Hearts? Please is anypony here?" He asked as he raised his voice to get the attention of the parents. He was nervous, but was determined to get to the bottom of this.

I'll make sure that she will be okay." Dynamo said as he walked around the shop and was looking for her room. After a couple of minutes, he finally found the door leading to Orange's room.

His eyes were beginning to well up with tears seeing the both of them look so heartbroken. Though he tried to stay strong for them as best as he could. He picked her up and brought her back into the room and sat on the bed, the batfilly still in his embrace. He placed one of his hands on Orange's back and started making a circle motion to help her know he was here for her.

 

"Shh, it's okay little sister. Your mommy and daddy love you very much. I can tell when I first met them. Something is wrong because the orphanage might not allow them to adopt you. I don't know all the details as to why this happened, but I know they will do everything they can to make you a part of this family. I could hear them yelling, but it wasn't a fight, my love. They are just worried that this orphanage might not allow your mom and dad have custody over Starling. I understand it's scary, but I promise you with all of my heart that it will be okay. I won't let anything happen to either of you. I'll always be here for the both of you. I love you so much, both of you." He said as he helped Orange up into a sitting position.

The way I see it, you have what it takes to convince them to adopt Starling. Please sir, you have to at least try. It's better to try and find out then to not try at all. Even if these tests are so strict, isn't there a loophole to get around it. What about Princess Celestia? She and Princess Luna govern the land of Equestria, right? Can't they try to fix these rules or help out in this situation. I understand that would be showing favoritism, but there has to be some way to get around this problem. There just has to be."
