The child grabbed Twilight's fingers with his hands, trying to stay up on his feet. "So, another human, 'ey? Bit pudgy, not too tall." Xarxes commented upon seeing the little toddler.

"This is more of a toddler then anything why are you thinking such things?" She asks, helping the poor little thing stay on his feet and be there to help the poor toddler.

"Never seen one like this. Most of the time, when we see children, they're usually around ten years of age, according to them. They help out on the ship while we get them acquainted with their new life here, and we return the favor later. Never seen something like this, though." The toddler tried to jump, landing on his bottom after not putting his feet back down.

Twilight looks at the Sphinx before nodding a bit. "Makes sense." She says before picking up the toddler and checking what gender the poor thing is.

"You gonna keep him? I can't do much for him, given his apparent age and all." Xarxes said. "No one up on the ship has any sort of parental instincts."

"I'm sure Fluttershy can handle this little guy." She says, keeping the little toddler in her arms.

"Who?" Xarxes asked, before putting his hands up and shaking his head. "Never mind, forget it. Don't wanna know... take care of the kid, I gotta go get back to my ship and crew."

"I understand, it was nice to meet you Captain Xarxes." She says with a nod, knowing Fluttershy will know more on taking care of a child then herself.

Xarxes landed on his ship, popping his neck He noticed that the three other Pegasi were gone, and he asked, "Where'd those other three go?" "Oh, they said they were heading home!" Lyra chimed in, remaining by Xarxes's side.
Fluttershy was getting out of the shower, hair put up in a towel and fully clothed in her usual attire - blue jeans and a green sweater.

There was a knock heard through the cottage. "Fluttershy! You home?" Twilight calls out, keeping the little boy in her gentle grasp.

Fluttershy opened the door, smiling. "Hi, Twilight!" she said cheerfully. "Who's this? Where'd you find them?"

"Apparently this little adorable thing just appeared through a portal. Don't ask me how that happened I don't know either, but he needs a good mother to help him out. No need to leave him alone right?" The princess of friendship says with a smile to her friend.

"Oh, no! They are just a baby, after all. Who do you think will be able to take care of him?" Fluttershy asked, looking at the pudgy baby.

"Well I was thinking you could Fluttershy." She says honestly. "I'm not much of a mother figure, being the princess of friendship, but I know that you can be quite a mother when given the chance." Twilight says honestly, hoping Fluttershy will be up for the task.

"Oh, uh... are you sure, Twilight? I've cared for animals before, but not one like this." Fluttershy said. "I've heard about humans because of Lyra, but I don't think I could care for one."

"Well your the first pony I thought who could take care of this little guy. It would make sense since your kind, caring, gentle, and all that other stuff."

"Oh, thank you, Twilight; but, I don't think I can take care of a human. I've never seen one before." Fluttershy said, smiling a little. "What about Rarity? She's responsible."

"Not to sound mean about our friend but have you seen her 'chaotic organization'?" Twilight asks with a raised eyebrow. "Not to mention how busy she is ever since she got her dream boutique up at Canterlot..." Twilight says worriedly.

Fluttershy kept thinking, thinking of their other three friends. "Ooh, what about Applejack? I'm sure caring for Applebloom taught her somehting." Fluttershy said, Angel Bunny hopping up and down to get her attention. "What is it, Angel?" Angel pointed into his mouth, and rubbed his belly, before giving Fluttershy a grimacing look. "OK, Angel, I'll feed you in a second."

"Yeah, that would be a good idea Fluttershy." She nods. "Thanks, and sorry for bringing this up on you if you had other things planned." She apologizes, looking down at the little toddler in her arms.

Twilight smiled warmly at the curious child. "Well it was nice seeing you Fluttershy, hope you have a nice day." Twilight smiles at her friend with a nod before heading off to Sweet Apple Acres.

Applejack was bucking apples, as per usual, while having help from Rainbow Dash. "Applejack!" Rainbow called out. "How many more trees do we have to clear apples out of?"

Applejack looked over at a few more. "I'd guess...maybe seven more." Applejack calls out to Rainbow. "We're almost done, why you ask? Getting tired on me here?" Applejack asks with a little grin.

"Asking so I can take a shower!" Rainbow called back. She thought, " May be my marefriend, but that doesn't mean I'll always be around to help, Jackie." She grinned, bucking another tree and getting all the apples out.

"Yeah alright." Applejack nods. "Hey girls!" Twilight calls out, flying over and seeing the happy couple bucking apples. "Howdy Twilight, what brings you here?" Applejack asks, wondering why Twilight be here. "And...is that a toddler?" She frowns, knowing that's a baby but not sure what species. "Yes, this is a human toddler. Don't ask how he appeared here I'm still trying to figure that out. But where's Rainbow? She might want to be here." Twilight says sheepishly.

"Hey Rainbow." Twilight says to the pegasus. "But the question I wanted to ask...can you two take care of him?" She asks, showing the toddler to Dash. "Well..." Applejack says with a little frown. "I mean I can take care of a kid because of Apple bloom yes but...Lyra normally jabbers on with humans that I don't know how to take care of them." Applejack says sheepishly. "That's true but I'm sure you two can figure it all out. And besides you'll still have us as well in case somethings don't work out." Twilight nods.
