In the corner of the front meet and greet room of The Nursery there is a bulletin board strewn with hopeful notices. The papers boast pictures of missing heirlooms, pets, and most heartbreakingly of all...loved ones. Occasionally there is a notice announcing a found object or pet that has lost its owner. This is where ponies can post notices or check them over.

Sister Swirl pulled out some paper and a pen, and prepared to write. There had been a bushel of babies, some of them must have parents looking for them. Or if worse came to worse they would need new loving parents. Though that was hard and heartbreaking to think about.
Swirl stared at the paper, her sight starting to get bleary with fatigue. Then suddenly she clunked her head on the wall and sobbed.
"I can't remember which baby is which! I'm no good at this!"

Crystal trotted over to her. "Is it okay if I spend the night? I don't really have anywhere to go."

Swirl blearily looked up at her new friend.
"Of course, everyone is welcome. I'll find you a bed upstairs."
Swirl woozily got out clean linens from a side closet, then led the way upstairs. She made up the bed, then collapsed in her cot to the side, hoping that Crystal would be able to tell where she should go.

"Hey," Crystal said softly. "Let me help. You look tired." Crystal wasn't tired. She mostly stayed up all night. She was in her element at night. But she thought she had better sleep anyway.

"Aw, thank you. But unless you can remember which babies need help finding parents we're pretty much done for the night. Aren't you tired?"
Swirl rubbed sleep from her eyes and woke herself up bit.

"Hmm..." Crystal thought. "They look like they all need parents! Why don't we do that in the morning? I'm not tired at all, but you look like you could collapse any minute!"
She gestured to Swirl as if to help her upstairs to the beds.

"Ha, you're right. Poor little squirmies. See you in the morning."
Swirl found her bed where she did, in fact, collapse.

Crystal smiled as Swirl fell asleep. She walked over to the door, and looked back once at Swirl. Then she trotted out.
