Lightning laughed at Star. "Can't you let the girl talk on her own?" Rain butted in right away. "Well it would be useless now, he just took the words right out of my mouth," Rain said right before Dancer yelled. Lightning swished his tail in annoyance and turned to Rain again. "Last chance," he said with a grin. Rain did a small rear and whipped her mane. "No!" she said frimly. Lightning snorted. "That's okay. I'll just come at a better time," Lightning said witha swish of his tail. He saw Jackal and trotted over to him. "So I guess you just saw me get rejected?" Lightning joked with a slight laugh.
Fire flinched. Yikes. Dancer really was pissed. "Bet you it's another Sky Mountain stallion," Fire said with his ears pinned slightly. Were they all as bad as Jackal?
(sorry it's short, this was one of the only one's I could reply to tonight.)

(its fine.)
Star pinned his ears and if Lightning hadn't left he was sure he would have attacked him, out of pure annoyance. And then he whipped his head and flicked his ears back up when Lightning went away. "Sorry I butted in. It was either that or I kick him." He said glancing at Rain.
Jackal laughed at Lightning. "Yes and it gave me a great laugh." He said with a smile and a joking voice. "Its a good thing you hadn't said that to Dancer. She would have had your head." Jackal joked kinda. "Well I think we should get back before they send some one to babysit us." Jackal said rolling his eyes and turned around to walk straight into Jewel. Jewel smiled. "Oh is that all I am to you big brother? A babysitter?" She asked Jackal he wasn't really her brother, she had just known him since she was two and he always acted like a brother to her. He nudged her shoulder. "Oh come Jewel you know I think more of you then that." He said whipping his mane again. Jewel laughed, "that's bet...er" her voice trailed off when she saw Lightning. "Oh your here too. Well figures I get stuck with retriver duty while you guys have all the fun." She snorted shacking off her short thing there where she acted like she almost couldn't think. Jackal chuckled when she trailed off witch earned him a ear flick and a glare from Jewel. He shook his head and started to walk back to the herd.
Starry laughed at Fire. "Yeah I'm sure it is. They seem to like to mess with this herd most I don't know why maybe because we take in the weaker horses. But we may be smaller but we have some of the best fighters in our herd." She said to Fire. "Moms not gonna be happy that dad was here in the den." She said not even noticing she called Jackal dad.

Rain gave a small smile. "It's okay. He was being annoying..." She said still slightly confused. She shook her head and started walking wuth the rest of the herd again. She glanced at Star out of the corner of her eye. She looked forward again quickly though before he could see her looking at him. If horses could blush, Rain would probably look like a tomato.
Lightning laugh slightly. "Well then I'm glad I could humor you." He looked over at Jewel when she walked over and couldn't help but smile when she trailed off. "Ah, we didn't have very much fun really...." Lightning said with a small smile. "Well, Jackal did just now I guess. All you really missed is me getting rejected by the Legacy Plains leader," Lightning said with a small shrug like it was nothing. "But oh well, there are other mares," Lightning said with a small smile and another shrug. He smiled at Jewel and trotted over to Jackal and slowed to a walk when he approached Jackal. "What was that about?" Lightning asked referring to Jewel's trailing off.
Fire smiled. "I don't find you guys very weak. But I definitely don't find the Sky Mountain herd weak either..." he said with his smile growing smaller and he switched his weight to another leg. He smiled again when he heard Starry call Jackal dad, but he didn't say anything. "Well maybe we should bring a unch of mud in here too," he said with a slight laugh.

Star chuckled. "Yes I wonder why the stallions in the Sky Mountain herd have to be so annoying?" He asked himself. He peacked at her and smiled at least she didn't look mad and ticked off at him witch made him weirdly happy. "How long till we move back to your herd?" Star asked he didn't know when they were going back and felt weird saying 'out herd' so he didn't say that.
Jewel couldn't help but chuckle at Lightning. "Well I can't imagian why anyone would turn down a charmin' thing like you." She said a bit sarcasticly with a laugh, her voice was what some would call southren charm. She snorted and shook her head, she couldn't help but think Lightning could be so blind when it came to her. All anyone ever saw her as was the baby sister. Jackal chuckled lightly at Jewel's comment and then turned to Lightning and chuckled ligtly so that Jewel couldn't hear him. "If you paid more attention then maybe you'ed know." Jackal said with a snort. He never liked to say stuff flat out, he liked you to figure them out on your own he will only give you hints. Jackal also chuckled at that he wondered if Jewel had heard him. She didn't.
Starry sighed. "This day has just been to full of stress and worry." She said shacking her head slightly. "I just want to get threw till tomorrow and forget about everything that has happened today." She said and then she looked at Fire with a smile. "Well almost everything." She stared off for a moment. "Your the only good thing that has happened today." She said lovingly.

Rain smiled at Star. She pondered for a moment. "Well, as soon as Dancer doesn't need us here anymore, so pretty much now," she said with a small laugh. Rain stopped and shifted her weight on to one side, and then another. She shook her head and trotted to catch up with Star. She was going to ask him something, but she decided not to.
Lightning smiled at Jewel's comment and whipped his mane. Lightning groaned at Jackal's supposedly 'hint'. "Okay, that's kind of a bad hint right there," Lightning replied a little ticked off. He wondered for a moment. Well Jewel was always making comments like the one she just said, but Lightning always thought she was teasing him. Or was she? Lightning shook his head and laughed at himself. Jewel couldn't like him, he was always chasing after other mares, and sure, he protected her when he had to and when she was in trouble, but he was never really there for her. How could she possibly ever like Lightning? He snorted at himself. He was pissing himself off now.
Fire looked sorrowfully at Starry, but then a small smile appeared on his face. "Well I don't regret any of this day. I got to meet you finally and protect you too," Fire responded looking down and shrugging. He was embarrassed now. Atleast he meant it. He nudged Starry affectionately and shook his mane happily.

Star whipped his head and glanced at Rain when she stopped. "Why'd you stop?" He asked her as she caught up to him. And then he nodded still thinking about when they would move back to their herd.
Jackal laughed a deep rumbling sound that went threw his chest. "Cool that temper of yours Lightning." He said coolly and calmly. Jackal never really lost his temper and was a great keeper of secrets kinda, if it was something he thought someone else should know he gave them hints so that he wasn't just up and telling them. Even if Jewel never gave him a secret to keep he still knew hers and knew she would hate him if he gave it away. "And what do you mean? It was advice as much as it was a hint." He said with shrug. "I just think its funny that Jewel only finds time to tease you," he said raising his eyebrows and glancing at Lightning with knowing eyes. Jewel only ever let down her shield was when she was with Jackal and Lightning. To everyone else she was tough and didn't need anyone to help her, she was strong and could hold her own in a fight and never ever joked about anything. But when it was just her, Jackal and Lightning she could relax and loved teasing Lightning. "Just pat more attention to things around you." He said bowing his head slightly. Jewel was aways up ahead of them and wasn't listing to their conversation cause she didn't care. She snorted and whipped her mane. "Since when did you two smart mouths stop running those mouths?" She asked them sarcastically, she knew they were talking low and it just wasn't natural for them two.
Starry sighed, she looked at Fire threw her forelock. "I never wanted this you know......" She said slowly. "I never wanted herd life and I still don't. I've always been a loner and that will never change...." She said slowly. "I never wanted a stallion, I never wanted to be protected, never wanted to be hurt like my mother, never wanted others to get hurt protecting me. I still refuse to be protected like I'm weak and need protecting. I will never allow my self to be hurt like my mother was. But one thing has changed...." She said trailing off slightly. "I do want some one I can depend on, someone that will always be there for me when I need him. Someone who will love me...." She said trailing off again and staying quiet this time. She leaned her head into Fire's shoulder. Her began to fill heavy and she could fill her body relaxing as she drifted off to sleep.....

Rain shook her head and snorted. "No reason," she replied. She tried to think of a lie but couldn't think of a good one. She shook her head and closed her mouth, not saying another word.
Lightning snorted. Jackal could have a huge rage and be totally calm through the whole thing. That was definitely not Lightning. Lightning couldn't help but laugh at Jackal. "You really don't think she likes me , do you?" He asked sniffling back a laugh. Jewel couldn't like Lightning. HE felt bad, yeah, but she couldn't possibly like him, could she? Lightning laughed at how dumb he was being and shook his head.
Fire smiled at Starry. He watched as she fell asleep against his shoulder and he draped his head over her neck. "I won't protect you, for your happiness, but I won't let you get hurt," he whispered to her before he eventually drifted off to sleep along with her.
(sorry, no time)

Star thought there was something more but chose to ignore it since Rain apparently wanted too.
Jackal snorted at Jewel and she snorted back and cantered away. "Not my place to say Lightning, not my place." Was all Jackal said keeping even pace. He flicked his ears slightly. "This day as worn low on my temper. I haven't been that mad in years and to tell you the truth it bothered me that I got that mad." He said, Jackal wasn't much for keeping things inside. "I haven't been that dangeruse in years." He said in a low voice that was just slightly dark to show that he still had that edge and he probably would for a day or two.

Rain shook her head. "Sorry, but i'm sure you'll find out later anyways," she said with a small, shy smile.
Lightning shrugged, even though he was annoyed. "Well, you still kept it kind of cool. Atleast noone died. Besides that cougar," Lightning snorted with a shrug.
(no muse)

Star looked thoughtfully to Rain. "no need to say sorry, but if you ever want someone to talk to I can keep a secret like no other." HE said a little proudly. "Not like I have any secrets after Jackal's little stunt." He mumbuled under his breath almost a hiss.
Jackal flicked his ears at Lightning's annoyence. "Yes old friend.... But just barley, it was him who set it off! It was Star." He seethed in almost complete rage. "Starry didn't have the heart to kill it, I could tell the snap of its neck unerved her and her mate." He said trying to calm his temper. That was one thing him and Star had in commen their tempers were almost immpossale to calm once they got started. "But I did see myself in her and a lot of Star too. She was fearless to protect Fire over herself." He said shacking his head in amusment. "She actually laughed and teased the poor beast, just like Star used to do, he used to have such fun messing with cougars. We both did." Jackal wasn't sure if he had been talking Lightning or himself. Some times he longed for the days of when him and Star were friends, but those days were a thing of the past never to be brought up again. The very thought of Star enraged him for some reason and he had yet to figure out why today of all days he should hate Star so much more then normal. Others might observe that it was cause of the friendship he had had with his half-brother. They would be wrong. Some might think it was cause Star kept him from his sister and challenged his leadership. Wrong again. But the smart horses would say it was cause he saw so much of Star in his own daughter and he couldn't love her without some liking of Star. That would be that right answer. He hatted it that he didn't hate Star like he should and that made him resent Star even more.

Rain smiled at Star. "Thanks," she said softly looking at the ground for a moment. She heard him mumbling and she shrugged. "It's not like anyone thinks any less of you for it. Atleast, I don't," she said with a thoughtful look to him.
Lightning shrugged and shook out his mane. "Well, you still kept it cool," he said with a small shrug. He was stilll lost in thought about Jewel though. He laughed at what Jackal said though. "Of course she and her mate didn't have the heart to kill it. Starry was raised by the herd's foal sitter and her lying mother. And Fire, he was mostly just a loner. Mostly," Lightning said with a small trace of a laugh. Lightning knew that Jackal and Star used to be like brothers, so of course Starry would have some of both of them in her. You could never have just one of them around, that's how they used to be. Lightning looked to Jackal. He could tell he was angry about something, but he hrugged thinking again if Jewel could really ever like him.

Star nodded. "Not a problem." He said in a low voice. He could smell the fresh thick grass of the valley up ahead. He nodded slightly and glanced her quickly before looking up ahead. "Thanks." He said lowering his head slightly before lifting it back up to look and see if he could see the valley.
Jackal flicked his ears listening partly to Lightning. He nodded and then flattened his ears for a moment. "She did what she had to do to protect herself." He said simply in a calm voice. Even though he felt rage boiling in him, telling him to defend Dancer. But he just swished his tail and pricked his ears forward. "Yes he was." Jackal said talking about Fire.
Jewel had disappeared up ahead. She was enjoying her nice slow run when she noticed that Jackal and Lightning were far behind her. She found one of her secret paths and followed it back so that she was behind them. Jackal flicked a ear he could hear her perfectly. He knew she was trying to sneak up on them and he thought it might work on Lightning but not on him. Jewel picked up the pace till she was galloping and pushed threw the two black stallions with a laugh. "Come on you slow pokes!" She called as she whipped her tail in both their faces. Before taking off at her fastest gallop.
