Flight Risk nodded. "There's a bunch of cinnamon back at my house. And your home too." She'd probably want to go to her house. It was better and was less… Ramshackle. He hated this new house his mother had gotten. He wanted to be home at Johnagold's home.

~~~~~~~~

"What, you don't have a foal sitter?" Really? He didn't have a foal sitter for a three year old? That was not happy news for Jewels. Not happy news at all. She was almost thinking the foal would be safer at the orphanage. She'd never let flight Risk out of her sight. Of course…. He'd had a leash. So things were different. "We gotta go see what's up."

Ginger bounced off of the bench, so excited she could just explode. "We should go to my house! Granny's got this big jar of cinnamon she uses for the apple pies!" If any of the Apples living at Sweet Apple Acres discovered Ginger doing such a mischievous thing, especially something like the cinnamon challenge, they'd tan her hide for sure.

***

Johnagold felt horrible that he hadn't gotten Ginger a foalsitter today. But he hadn't heard from Camilla in quite a while, and she was Ginger's primary foalsitter when he couldn't rely on Granny, Big Mac, or Apple Bloom. He was a little concerned that maybe Camilla had disappeared from the face of Gaia altogether. If Camilla wasn't available, he'd try to see if Jewels was...Why didn't he think of that? He felt even worse forgetting that Jewels was likely available to be a foalsitter. He'd see if she was available next time he needed somepony to watch Ginger for him. Johnagold was failing very badly today...He needed a good day off from foals and work at some point.

"Ah'm really not in the zone today, am Ah?" Johnagold said as he put his axe down. "Ah am never forgettin' to hire a sitter ever again."

He began trotting towards the direction of the park. "Ah agree. Let's go."

"This is gonna be awesome!" He missed going to Johngold's house. He still worked at the farm whenever he could. But that was rare since his mother was trying to avoid Johna. "I've missed being there. But my Mom doesn't want to live there and more… A separate family is sad." Flight Risk sighed. He wanted Mommy and Daddy to be together.

~~~~~~~

"Best not. Because really, if you can't take care of her she's better off at the orphanage." Jewels huffed, clopping along beside Johnagold, not meeting his gaze. She was not happy at all that he hadn't hired a foalsitter. Ugh.

Ginger looked up at her big brother. "You stayed at Sweet Apple Acres? Oh yeah, my dad mentioned that a couple times. He seemed to like you a lot."

She looked a little sad when her brother mentioned a separate family being sad. "I know how you feel. My mommy's supposed to be missing or dead. I really wish she could be there for him, with him being all sad and forgetful and everything."

***

Johnagold felt a slight pang of sadness at Jewels mentioning Ginger being better off at the orphanage. It was true; Ginger probably would be better off there, if they still allowed her to be there. She was with him only because she was too dangerous and needed a lot of special care. He really did take quite good care of her for being a single parent, but he had Granny and his cousins to help him out. If he was by himself, he really didn't want to let this thought enter his head, but the Foals and Families officers would have taken her by now...But how did Jewels know that Ginger was in the orphanage for a while? Knowing the way the world worked, foals just kind of appeared spontaneously, sometimes.

"Wait...You know that Ginger was in the orphanage?" He asked. This was getting a little weird...What if...No. That wouldn't make any sense.

"Johnagold's my Daddy. Maybe Jewels could be your Mommy. She just has to get to know you better and we should get them together." He had tried the day they moved out, but nothing had been good enough to stop his mother from just leaving. "And ya, me and Mommy lived at Sweet Apple Acres for awhile. It was awesome."

~~~~~~~~~~~

"She was talking about it the other day." Jewels couldn't remember if she was lying or not. Ginger Gold might have talked about it, but she didn't know. Either way, she knew that Ginger Gold had been in an Orphanage.

Ginger Gold spit on her hoof and held it out to Flight Risk. "It's a deal," she squeaked. It would be really weird calling Auntie Jewels 'Mommy' from now on, but Ginger believed her brother's plan would work. After all, her daddy and Auntie J-, I mean her Mommy, were both single parents who needed help with raising their foals. Ginger heard that good relationships came from having something in common, and that was about it. There was a lot more to consider.

***

"Huh," remarked Johnagold. "She usually doesn't talk 'bout that too much. She must be purty comfortable 'round you." Ginger had never mentioned the orphanage in front of Jewels, but Johnagold didn't know that.

Flight Risk spat on his hoof and shook hooves with Ginger Gold. Jewels and Johnagold were better together, a complete family. That was how things were supposed to be, that's how they had to be. He wanted a happy family. He was going to get a happy family with the help of Ginger Gold. With the help of Ginger Gold this couldn't go wrong! "We can't loose."

~~~

"I guess so." Jewels muttered softly, scuffing her hoof on the ground. She couldn't remember which one it had been. With this whole deal...It was like the universe was laughing at her. She had just been thinking she didn't need any more on her plate, she had enough with Flight Risk. Then this happened.

Ginger smiled as her and Flight Risk made their promise. They were partners in crime, now, totally in cahoots with each other. Her dad was going to be so proud of her! And mommy was going to be happy, too! There was no way this could fail, and JM considered giving this thread the pet name of Parent Trap part 2.

"Mommy and daddy are going to be so happy!" Ginger squeaked as she skip-bounced sort of like Pinkie Pie.

***

Johnagold noticed that Jewels seemed sad and overwhelmed, especially after mentioning the orphanage. Her mentioning of the place did give him a very weird thought, and her feelings about the whole ordeal made the weird thought maybe a little more plausible. What if Jewels was...No, he wouldn't think about that anymore. It was beginning to bother him.

"Ah've learned a lot, though, from this experience," replied Johnagold. "Ah've made mistakes Ah can't fix, but the point of me makin' mistakes is so Ah can learn from 'em, Ah guess."

"They will be." Flight Risk said, rubbing his hooves together. He couldn't fail this time. Now not only were his parents on the line, but if he succeeded he'd be able to spend more time with Ginger Gold. And also, the barn was closer to school than his current house, so that'd be cool too. More time with Love Ling.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Mhm." Jewels said, just a word. She couldn't think of what else to say. She was a little bit overwhelmed here with what was going on. So many things. The universe was just laughing at her, she could hear it.

Ginger giggled when Flight Risk did that creepy plotting rubbing his hooves together thing. They walked down the path a little further, and Ginger saw Johnagold and Jewels walking towards them in the distance.

"OHMYGOSH!" Ginger squealed. "Mommy and daddy are coming! What are we supposed to do?"

***

Now that Jewels had gone a little quiet for a few seconds, Johnagold could swear that he was beginning to hear something. A noise, an annoying, teasing noise that got louder as Johnagold concentrated more to hear it. It almost sounded like a bunch of school-age fillies laughing.

"You hear somethin', Julie?" He asked. As he looked forward into the distance, he could see the silhouettes of two foals coming closer...their coloring, as he began to see it, looked a little like Ginger Gold and Flight Risk.

"We should… I don't know! We should be awesome and happy looking and drop hints that they should et back together. And compliment them both so they realize they look good together and then make them go to some fancy restaurant and put a ring in a champagne glass." Flight Risk rambled on quietly.

~~~~

"All the time." Jewels muttered flatly, her wings drooping for a moment before snapping back to her back.

Ginger Gold noticed her parents coming closer and closer... She practiced some compliments in her head before taking a deep breath and trotting over to them. She put on her best smile and approached her father...

Johnagold's heart sunk as he noticed Jewels's wings droop like that. That pretty much confirmed that there was really something bothering her, and he could feel his instinct to help her coming back to him. He really wished he could ask her what was wrong and try to see if he could do anything about it, but she would probably just snap at him and try to claim that she was just fine.

Ginger ran up to Johnagold and began hugging his leg. "Daddy!" she squeed.

Johnagold chuckled and hugged her back. "You and Flight Risk been behavin' yourselves, right, Ginger?" he asked.

"Yup!" replied Ginger. "By the way, your coat looks really shiny today!"

Johnagold was a little confused. His daughter didn't usually compliment him on his appearance like that...

"Thanks!" replied Johnagold with a smile.

"You're so muscly and your so pretty mom." He said to Johnagold, then to his Mom. "You guys look perfect together. You should totally get mattered and settle down and not have any more foals than you already have." He loved his sister, but he didn't want any more siblings. Two was enough for him and his mother. She didn't need more foals. She had enough on her plate.

~~~~~~

"Mmm…" Jewels said, scratching at her mane. It was always weird running into Ginger Gold. This was the second time, and Jewels was sure that it would never get less weirder. What was even more weird… How had they been able to find Johnagold? How'd they even know?

Johnagold was beginning to feel so awkward, now. He had just gotten called 'muscly'. Was muscly even a word?

"Uh...Thank you," Johnagold replied. And then he heard the words 'settle down' and 'more foals'. Those same words had been used by his parents several times after he had acquired Ginger, and those exact words were the ones that made him more than a little nervous whenever his parents came over to visit on the weekends so his father could help Ginger with her magic. Of course, just for more awkwardness, Johnagold hadn't heard the words 'not have any' in front of 'more foals'. He thought Flight Risk was asking him to impregnate Jewels.

"Uh...um..." Johnagold stuttered. Ginger bounced around in front of him, saying, "You and Mommy should go on a date to a super romantic fancy place!"

Johnagold's brain nearly stopped functioning. Ginger was calling Jewels 'mommy'? And asking him to take her on a special date? The mere thought of both those things was so awkward that it made waiting in line for a public bathroom at Stall-Mart sound like an easy thing to do.

"Uhm...What." said Johnagold in utter awkwardness and confusion.

"Umm… I don't think so." Jewels said, shaking her head. She wasn't in the mood for romance. She had too many things to do. A house to pay for, a son to raise. And now Ginger Gold was bouncing back into her life. "I'm not your Mom." Jewels said.

Flight Risk shook his head. "Come on Mom! You know being someone's parent has nothing to do with blood! Its about being there for someone!" Jewels twitched a little at that.

"I have to go now." Jewels said shortly after rocketing up into the air.
