"New foster kids??", Applejack asked.
Twilight nodded.
"Yeah. Both girls. One is about our age and the other is 10. They're sisters. It's so sad".
"Why??".
Applejack sat on Twilight's bed. Twilight sighed.
"This is their fifth foster home in the past two years. My dad told me that they were abused and so they were taken away".
Applejack's mouth fell open.
"Oh wow. Well ah think that they'll like it here", Twilight said lookimg around her room. You see, Twilight's parents were foster parents. She was their biological daughter. They just decided to open their house for foster kids. They have been doing that for a few years now.
Everything was nice and neat as usual.
"When are they comin??".
"In a bit".
Applejack smiled. "Can ah meet em??. Bein next door and all. We could be friends with the girl our age. Ah could bring Applebloom over some time an she could make friends with the little one. She needs friends".
Twilight smiled.
"That's a great idea. C'mon. Let's go get a snack before they get here".
The two teens got up and walked out of the room. Heading downstairs they saw Twilight's parents.
They headed into the kitchen. The girls sat down with a plate of apple slices.
Applejack bit into one.
"So", she said. "You think the teen girl will be cute??".
Twilight rolled her eyes.
"Seriously??. That's what you're thinking??".
Twilight giggled. "Not sure. But try not to scare her away. She's been through enough. She doesn't need a blonde country girl as a neighbor that hits on her".
Applejack lightly pushed her.
"Shut up. Ah won't", she said grabbing the last apple slice.
"Girls??", they heard Twilight's mom call. "They're here!!".
Applejack and Twilight got up and walked out to the front door, where Twilight's parents stood. The door opened. A woman came in. She was obviously the social worker. She had pink and purple hair.
"Hi", she said. "I'm Cadence. Rainbow Dash and Scootaloo's social worker".
She shook the other adults' hands.
"Now. They're shy and a little uneasy about being here. They're not going to talk much for a while. Rainbow has trust issues with people and Scootaloo doesn't like to be away from Rainbow for more than a few minutes. After all, they're all they have left".
Applejack and Twilight looked at eachother.
Twilight's parents nodded. The front door opened again. Two girls walked in. The taller and older had rainbow colored hair and light blue skin. She had magenta colored eyes. The smaller girl, her sister, had orange skin with feathery purplish colored hair. She had a weird shade of purple. They weren't sure.
But man, the older one was cute. Applejack looked her over. She looked smaller than them from the distance she was at.
Everyone was quiet. The smaller girl clung to her sister, who had protective arms around her. They pulled in their backpacks and one luggage for each of them.
