Troop: -whinnies in reply-

Crimsonwind: Father, who are those pegasi we’re going to capture anyways? Why are they so special?

Rainblaze: -nickers and instantly starts to dry them off from instinct-

Racewind: Two of them are a lead mare and over stallion. The others always try to rescue them so we need to capture them as well. And the reason why the over stallion and lead mare are so special is...

-decides to tell his colt- Your dam actually pretended that you were the colt of the over stallion for a few moons because she wanted to be his mate. She did it behind my back. And the lead mare, well, she is special to me.

Crimsonwind: -perks ears- Mother did that?

Racewind: -sighs- You don’t know the half of it son, but yes.

Crimsonwind: Did you do something too father?

Racewind: -turns head away and looks forward- I’ll tell you later, we’re here.

-circles and lands-

Windwing: -looks up into the sky and sees about 20 pegasi-

-widens eyes- Wispiflower..

Wispiflower: -looks up from watching the foals sleeping- What? -looks up- Oh no.

Windwing: -instantly nudges the foals awake- We have to go!

Whitefrost: Why? What’s wrong?!

Coperpool: -shakes off his surprise- I’m a sire.. -whispers so quietly only Rainblaze could hear- -whinnies excitedly- I’M A SIRE!!!!!! -flies into the air and does a few spins-

Rainblaze: -rolls eyes- Happens to every stallion I guess...

Wispifrost: -flies to her hooves- What Daddy? Attack? Invaders? CHIPMUNK?!?!

Rainblaze: -looks at the now dried-and-cleaned fillys- Well, what should we name them?

Whitefrost: Seriously Wispifrost?

Windwing: -nudges them away along with Wispiflower- Go!

Coperpool: -comes to his senses and realizes the foals hearing is really sensitive- -flies back down and looks sheepish- Sorry about all that.. How about that one, -points to the copper winged filly- be named Emeraldblaze?

Rainblaze: -nickers- I like that!

Wispiflower: Okay I’ll go hide them but then I’m coming back to fight.

Wispifrost: -looks at her sire quickly just in case then turns to defend herself- Yes seriously! Aren’t you scared of chipmunks?!

Windwing: -shakes head- Just run!!

Windwing: -nickers despite the urgent rush- No

Wispiflower: -takes one wing from each of her foals and starts rushing them away-

-quickly looks back at Windwing- Be safe.

Windwing: I’ll watch them, and if they get closer I’ll be right behind you. Go to a thick grove

Whitefrost: Father! Why aren’t you coming?!

Wispifrost: -rolls eyes- Isn’t it obviously brothy? He needs to stay behind to fight them off!

Whitefrost: -stomps hoof- Then I’m staying too

Windwing: -nudges his colt away- Go with your sister and dam, I’ll be right behind you

Mapleglade: -trots over to the group and whispers to Windwing- Are they a raiding party?

Windwing: I think so. Where are Junetree and Maytree?

Junetree: -comes up out of nowhere with Maytree’s wing clutched in her’s- Who are these guys?

Wispiflower: -nuzzles Windwing- -takes Whitefrost’s wing again and walks off into a thick tree grove- Whitefrost, we need to let your sire do this alone, do you hear me? You are NOT going to help him. Promise me neither of you will try.

Wispifrost: Okay I promise.

Whitefrost: -rears- I want to stay with Father!!

Windwing: -ignores his colt and watches the group circle above him and slowly lower-

-instantly recgonizes Racewind- Not again...

-whinnies quietly and bolts towards his family- Run!!!

Wispiflower: -pins ears and gallops, dragging the twins with her-

Whitefrost: -obeys his mother and father this time and gallops as fast as possible to a nearby tree grove-

Windwing: -whinnies to Mapleglade and his family- Hide! It’s Racewind! He wants Wispiflower, and possibly the rest of us

Mapleglade: -looks up and snorts in shock-

-nudges his mate and foal- To the tree grove with Wispiflower

Windwing: -breaks into a gallop but stays behind Wispiflower and the twins-

Rainblaze: -points to the other filly- What about this one?

Junetree: WHAT? He DARES come back?!

-obeys her mate for the first time ever-

Maytree: -follows her mother and is soon safe in the thick grove-

Whitefrost: -quickly arrives to the grove and stops, almost hitting Maytree- Whoa!

Mintbreeze: -searches for an enclosed valley to keep Windwing and the others in- -finds one at the end of the mountain range that is like a shallow crater, full of grass but tall thick rocks on the outer edge caging them- -nickers- Perfect.

Coperpool: -taps chin thoughtfully- How about.. Hollylight? It goes with her holly berry colored wings.

Maytree: Watch It Whitefrost! You almost ran me over just now!

Whitefrost: Sorry!

Rainblaze: -stares at her- Perfect!!!!!!!

Maytree: -nods- -whispers- It’s okay.

Hollylight: -sniffs her dam’s mane- -licks a spot on it that tasted good-

Whitefrost: -nods too and turns around-

Windwing: -urges Wispiflower and Wispifrost into the grove-

Mapleglade: -follows Junetree in and peeks outside to look at the approaching pegasi- They’re starting to land I think

Wispiflower: -makes it in-

Wispifrost: -comes in right behind her mother- Daddy, will we all be okay? Who is that stallion ‘Racewind’ anyway?

Rainblaze: -nickers-
