Baby Shady's pets.

After getting food and supplies Baby Shady took Ms. Orange home. She slept the whole time purring:

Baby Shady: She still asleep. And still purring.

Shady: Your right. She likes you. Now when we go in we have to litter train her. You know what that is right?

Baby Shady: Like potty training right?

Shady: Yep. You need to show her the box and show her she needs to use it. If you have to give her treats for everytime she uses it.

Baby Shady: Like you did with me. *Shady nods and holds up a can of cat treats*

Shady: She also needs to see a vet once a year.

Baby Shady: Got ya. *They arrive at home and the kitten wakes up* We're home Ms. Orange.

Shady: Be sure to watch the younger ones around her.

Baby Shady: Got it. *The kitten hops from her hooves and sniffs around* What she doing mom?

Shady: Smelling around so she can get a feel of it. *Baby Gusty comes in*

Baby Gusty: A kitten. Aw. *She leans down and reaches her hoof out* Don't be scared. I won't hurt you. *The kitten goes forward and sniffs Baby Gusty's hoof, stretches and rubs against it purring*

Baby Shady: Why did she do that?

Shady: She wanted to see if she could trust Baby Gusty. She showed her affection by rubbing her face against her hoof. Also to put her scent on her. *The kitten starts meowing like its crying* Hm she must be hungry.

Baby Shady: Oh yeah. Dinner time Ms. Orange. *Gets the cat food out and puts it in a bowl she bought* There. *She goes near it and chows down* Whoa she was hungry. *She finishes and rubs on Baby Shady* Aw your welcome. *She takes her to her cat box* Now listen Ms. Orange. This is where you go potty. Mama said to let you see it. If you a good kitty you get a treat. *She sets her in it* There. Now remember that.

Shady: It'll take some time before she knows. But 1 thing to make sure. Never scold her. She's not like a human or pony. Just don't give her a treat. *Baby Shady nods and yawns* Tired?

Baby Shady: Uh huh?

Shady: Take you a nap then. *She nods and goes into the nursery and gets in her big girl bed*

Baby Shady: *Before she closes her eyes she hears meowing* Ms. Orange? *She looks down* You wanna sleep with me? I bet mama won't mind. Come on. Come on. *She pats the sheets encouraging the kitten to jump up and she tries but can't jump high enough yet* Oh. You can't jump high enough. *Picks her up by the scruff of the neck* Sorry. They say it don't hurt though. *Sets her down* There. *She lays down and the kitten situates herself right next to her* Silly kitten. *Giggles and falls asleep. Minutes later Shady goes looking for the kitten. She sees her on the bed*

Shady: Aw. *Smiles and walks up next to her and the kitten meows* Keep her company Ms. Orange. *The kitten meows as if she understood and yawns and closes its eyes* Heh heh. *Gusty comes in*

Gusty: Baby Gusty told me you got Baby Shady a kitten.

Shady: Yep. See? *She looks over and aws*

Gusty: Looks like they are gonna be a good pair.

That day Baby Shady and the ponies are playing outside with Ms Orange:

Baby Shady: Now Ms. Orange you hide. I'll seek. *She hides and Baby Shady counts* Ready or not here I come. *She starts looking around and hears a bush move* Aha. *She looks behind it and there's a cobra behind the bush* N.... nice snake.

Baby Gusty: *Sees the cobra* Baby Shady don't move. That's a cobra. Its venom is dangerous. Shady!

Shady: What's going on? *Sees the cobra* Baby Shady! *Sees the cat jump from another bush and run toward Baby Shady hissing* Oh my. What a courageous kitten. *They both hiss at each other and the kitten lunges and bites the cobra's neck but not before the cobra bites the kittens leg* Ms. Orange! *The snake laid dead on the ground and Baby Shady stood there crying* Baby Shady did the cobra bite you?

Baby Shady: No. *Ms Orange staggered over to her owner. Her eyes were glossy* Ms. Orange. Mama is she gonna be O.K?

Shady: Posey get out here quick. *She comes out*

Posey: What happened here? *Sees a dead cobra on the ground* A cobra?

Shady: Yes and it would've bitten Baby Shady if it weren't for this courageous kitten. *She looks over at her and just shakes her head*

Baby Shady: She is gonna make it right? Right?!

Posey: I'm afraid not honey. She's just a kitten.

Baby Shady: But.... *Tears well up in her eyes* She saved my life. *Runs over to the kitten who was laying on the ground* Please don't die Ms. Orange. Please. *The kitten takes the last of its strength to pull its head up and meow* Oh this is all my fault. I'm not a good owner at all. *It lays down and takes 1 last breath and dies* No! *Shady goes over and consoles her*

Shady: She's gone honey. We'll never forget her. *Baby Shady starts bawling* You wanna bury her honey? We can bury her in the back yard. *She nods* We'll even have a funeral for her.

Later that day:

Spike: And so when she knew Baby Shady was in danger she leaped and killed the cobra. But taking her own life to do so. *Baby Shady starts crying* Any words Baby Shady?

Baby Shady: *She nods and heads up trying to keep her composure* She was a sweet kitten. Even if I only had her for 1 day. Thanks Ms. Orange for saving my life. *Shady comes up*

Shady: You were a good kitty. *Strokes the dead kitten's body and a tear drops from her face*

Sweet Stuff: Yeah what a nice kitten saving a pony's life. *They put her in a box and put her in the ground. Baby Shady then gets a piece of cardboard and they cover the box up with dirt*

Baby Shady: It says "To my hero Ms. Orange." *Puts it as a headstone* Goodbye Ms. Orange.

Stay tuned for more. Its gonna get better I promise .

They take her home and go to the grave where Ms. Orange was buried:

Baby Shady: Heroine here lies the kitten that saved my life.

Baby Gusty: Yeah. *Walking up to her* New kitten? She's cute. *Windwhistler walks up*

Windwhistler: I uh heard you lost a kitten yesterday. Listen I'll tell you a story of when I was a young pony. And come with me to Dream Castle I have something to show you. *They go there and there in the back was a grave* Here lies my kitten. *A tear falls from her eye*

Baby Shady: What happened to her?

Windwhistler: Its a long story honey.

Baby Shady: Could you somehow shorten it?

Windwhistler: Sure. By the way did she really kill a cobra?

Baby Shady: Yes but lost her life too.

Windwhistler: Sit down. *She does* Now listen my first kitten is the 1 in this grave. When I was a young filly I had a calico kitten. She was beautiful but loved only 1 pony.

Baby Shady: You? *She nods*

Windwhistler: 1 day me and the rest of the ponies were playing hide and seek.

Baby Shady: Just like us yesterday.

Windwhistler: Yes. She was hiding behind the castle. Hearing some noises I thought that 1 of the ponies had found her and she was hissing at them. Then suddenly I heard rattling. It was a rattlesnake. It had spotted me.

In her past:

Baby Windwhistler: Oh boy.

Windwhistler: Not knowing what to do I froze. Suddenly Sunny my calico cat ran from behind the building and jumped on the snake and bit its neck. Without warning the rattlesnake bit her before she snapped its neck in half killing it.

Baby Windwhistler: Sunny.

Windwhistler: Posey looked at the book on dangerous snakes and found that it was indeed a rattlesnake.

Baby Posey: She won't live long. The venom is strong.

Windwhistler: Not knowing where the nearest vet was we couldn't do a thing. *Starts sniffling* We lost her.

Baby Shady: Did you cry?

Windwhistler: I ran into the castle and bawled my eyes out.

Baby Shady: And she is in this grave. *Windwhistler nods* Why didn't you get another pet?

Windwhistler: She was a special kitty.

Baby Shady: So was Ms. Orange. But I bet she won't mind if you get another kitten.

Windwhistler: You sure? *She nods and Windwhistler hugs her* Not a word of this to anyone.

Baby Shady: You got it.

They go outside:

Windwhistler: They looked so cute together. They are gonna be friends I can tell.

Baby Shady: I bet even Sunny and Ms. Orange would have too.

The next day they take both Sunny the second and Heroine to the vet's:

Vet: Let's take a look. *Gets out a stethescope and listens to Heroine's heart* Healthy heartbeat. And she likes me too. She's purring quite loudly. Now let's see those teeth. *Looks in her mouth* Nothing wrong there. O.K. time for shots for rabies. *Gets a needle out* Alright hold her down for just a minute. *She does* Here we go. *He gives her the shot* There. I heard about your first kitten Baby Shady. Sorry to hear she died.

Baby Shady: Yeah but she died saving me.

Vet: But she was a hero non the less.

Baby Shady: Yeah.
