A Cadillac XLR drives up to the cold, sad girl. Out of the car comes a man who looks geared up to take out a gang. He kneels down to examine the girl.

"Are you Starlight Glimmer?" The man asks. So e of the tears on the girl begin to freeze to her face. The man sees this, and immediately takes off his jacket, wraps it around Starlight, and pulls her into his arms. Starlight begins to sob more, causing the man to press her head against his chest.

"Hey now, don't be that way." The man says to try to calm Starlight.

"Where are they?" Asks Starlight.

"Where is who?"

"My parents. Where are they! I know that car belongs to a man who they owe money too, so that must be you! Where Are They!"

"I'm not him, but I know who you're talking about. The man and your parents, and... And I'm sorry. They told me where to find you."

"But... But..." Starlight begins to cry even more. The man picks up Starlight and brings her into the car. He sits there, caressing Starlight in an effort to comfort her.

"I didn't know who your parents were." The man says, "I only know that they told me who you were and where to find you... I'm gonna take you home with me."

"Why?" Starlight asked, sniffling.

"Because your parents told me to take care of you the best I can."

"What are you going to do with me?"

"I just told you."

"You look deadly and dangerous."

"For the last time. I took out the people who used your parents and I for their bidding. I even claimed a trophy."

"What's the trophy?"

"This custom 2009 Cadillac XLR. The custom part is the modified Corvette V8 under the hood. That's not important right now. What is important is that you're safe. And we both just got the best Christmas ever."

"What's so good about it? My parents are dead and you got a random kid dumped on you."

"What makes this Christmas frigging amazing is the fact that a pain in our arses is gone and that I have found someone to care for. You won't be a problem. In fact, I plan on not being active for a couple of years."

"What's that supposed to mean?"

"You are right to assume me to be deadly. But not to you. Consider me the one who picked you out of the snow, and placed you in my caring arms... Figuratively and literally."

"You would care for the daughter of a poor family?"

"It'll go easier if you choose to be my rescue child... Wanna give it a try?"

"I guess I've got nowhere else to go."

"You're still got a childhood to go through. It had a rough first third, but I can make the rest of it better. I'll homeschool you and prepare you for the big time things in life. Trust me, you'll be fine. I'll finish raising you, and be a helping hand in life."

"Well, I need a family... I guess I'll accept yours."

The man places the girl in the passenger side seat, and starts the car. He then heads to his place. And Starlight grows up to be a big name in the world. And the man was always there when she needed him. They both lived very happily as... Whatever one would consider their relationship.
