Author's Note: Hey guys! For those of yo who have read the story, I have rewritten it a bit. I wasn't too comfortable with the flow of the story. So, I'm reworking it a bit. For those of you just tuning in? Thanks for checking it out!

It was a joyous day. The sun was shining bright and the citizens were going about their business, happily. It was on this day, in a not-so-unusual home, there was a not-so-unusual couple. The blue stallion looked at his wife, a white mare, lovingly. She was currently leaning into a crib, cuddling a small, violet filly.

"Twilight, we should let her get some rest. She'll get riled up if we keep her awake." The stallion said.

The white mare, Twilight, rolled her eyes, smiling. "Oh, shush now. My little Sparkle is the most well behaved filly in Equestria. Aren't you?" She began to tickle the filly, who laughed ecstatically. Suddenly, her horn began to glow. As her laughter increased, the glow became brighter and brighter until it enveloped the room and exploded. The couple were slightly pushed back by the force of the magical shockwave, the catalyst of a chain of events that would forever change the tides of fate.

The magical shockwave traveled throughout the immediate Equestrian area, causing unicorns everywhere to feel a slight tingle of power. Random spells were sometimes cast and the occasional item would levitate. However, the most incredible side effect occurred when the magic reached its peak. The shockwave grew in power at a split second, causing the very atmosphere in the area to feel unstable.

Suddenly, in a small flash of light, a bundle appeared on the ground. The shockwave finally dissipated, the area calming.

Two older earth ponies walked along a lone trail, surrounded by apple trees. The stallion, a red orange fellow with an orange mane, looked at his orange, curly-haired wife. "Harvest, honey, are you alright? You seem uneasy."

"I'll be fine, Stem. Just a tad tired today. Little Carrot Top is just too excitable today!" Harvest replied.

Stem laughed. "She gets that from your side."

Suddenly, the couple halted as they heard a sound. It was a small sound, but it stood out from the usual silence of the rural area. "Do you hear that? It sounds like… crying?" Stem said, his ears perking at the noise.

Harvest looked out toward a clearing. "Hello? Is anypony there?"

When the crying only continued, the couple decided to investigate. They walked into the clearing, following the cries, looking for a source. Fortunately, they didn't have to look far. In the clearing, a small bundle sat. The duo approached the crying creature, wondering why anypony would leave a baby alone outside.

As they looked inside the bundle, they gasped. Inside was a strange creature. It was a chubby, bald, peach-colored animal. It stopped crying as they approached, eyeing them with a look of curiosity.

"What kind of animal is this?" Stem asked.

"I'm not sure. It looks like some sort of hairless monkey." Harvest replied. The baby laughed as the ponies talked about him, causing them to smile. "This little thing is adorable, but what do we do with it? We can't leave a baby animal alone out here."

"Hm… should we take it to the vet?"

The baby was sound asleep as it sat in a small crib in a veterinary office. The mare examined it, writing notes.

Species: Unknown

Age: Several Months

Sex: Male

Diagnosis: Healthy. Patient bears strong behavioral resemblance to equine newborns.

Harvest and Stem sat in the waiting room, feeling just a tad worried about their newfound animal. It looked so delicate. When the vet came out, Harvest was the first to stand. "So what can ya tell us, Dr. Paw Prints?"

"Well, in short, this creature is astounding. He behaves exactly like a newborn foal. He doesn't seem like a wild animal."

"Really? So what is he?"

"I don't know. Definitely a primate. His dental structure indicates he's an omnivorous creature."

"Omni-what?"

"He eats plants and meat. Don't worry, he doesn't seem dangerous. He's basically the same as a baby foal: delicate and longing for attention. He seems to only be a few months old."

"That's funny. Our little Golden Harvest is about the same." Stem chuckled.

Paw Prints brought a piece of paper and a pen over to the couple. "Here are the papers for the baby's discharge."

"What will happen to him?" Harvest asked.

"Well, since he's technically an orphaned child, he'd have to go to the orphanage up in Canterlot, but I don't think they'd have what he needs to survive." Paw looked back at her sleeping patient, worried.

Harvest and Stem looked at each other for a moment, contemplating. They smiled and nodded before the latter stepped forward.

"What if we take him?"

The vet looked surprised. "You? Are you sure? I can only imagine the handful Golden Harvest is alone."

"We aren't foals, doc. We know what we're doing. He'll be in good hands."

Paw Prints looked back at the baby then back at the smiling carrot couple. She nodded. "Well, then I guess he's with you. You know where to get the paperwork. I'll check in from time to time, alright?"

"I would hope so!" Stem laughed.

The couple walked from the vet's office, the baby bundle on Stem's back. The duo smiled at the new addition to the family, but Harvest stopped. "Wait! We don't have a name for him! What kind of parents don't have a name for their own child?"

"Don't you worry. We'll have a name figured out for him by the time we get home. I'm sure lil' Carrot Top will want to see her new brother!"

By the time the carrot couple reached their rural abode, they were practically arguing over the baby's name. Stem scoffed. "His name will be Brawny Hoof! Just like my grandfather."

"That's too bland! Sunshine Buttercup is his name!" Harvest beamed.

"That's a mare name!"

"Is not!"

The duo continued arguing even as they entered their farmhouse. Inside, a young pegasus approached. "Hello! I'm so glad you're back! Golden Harvest was asleep the entire time!"

Stem kept the bundle on his back hidden. "Oh, well that sure is good news, kiddo. Thanks for foal sitting. Here's some extra bits for a job well done!"

The young pegasus happily bid the couple goodbye before scampering out the door. Harvest went to check on Golden Harvest who, surely enough, was sound asleep in her crib. Stem approached with his own sleeping bundle, placing the baby in the crib with her. Harvest looked down at the two, lovingly. Suddenly, her eye caught sight of something new. The new baby's blanket had a small shine in the corner. Harvest carefully lifted the corner and gasped.

"Looky here! I don't think we need to worry about his name anymore." She pointed.

On the corner of the blanket, stitched in with silver thread, read the name Tony.

The magical energy had finally dissipated, dispersing throughout the land harmlessly. Most of this energy had spread into the upper regions of the atmosphere. The weakened energy moved slow, but given time, a few years perhaps, the energy could even reach the moon...
