Tiger saw the strong emotions in her eyes, "look..I am sorry phantom, but it's not normal for a stallion my age to be seeking refuge in another's herd"

Phantom turned her gaze to the ground dipping her head slightly "I know... I.. I just..." She didn't even know what she was trying to say but she was jsut trying to say anything so that she wouldn't shut down

Moon pounded the ground with her four small hooves and caught up to West, but only for a second, before racing past him. When they stopped, Moon skidded, leaving large hoof skid marks in the dirt.

Aurora made sure to give Moon enough space to skid to a stop "Finally! What took you so long!" He teased starting to prance around her

Moon pretended to be angry and stomped her hoof "You guys were the ones being slow! I could have gone way faster, I was just... Ahem... Saving my energy, like West said. Anyway, where are we?" Moon looked around, realizing that she had absolutely no clue where they were.

Aurora rolled his eyes "Sure sure ms. slowpoke" He teased bumped into her side before stopping next to her "Ummm... I think were at the cliffs near the beach." He said examining the cliffs in front of them "Want to go to the beach first or look for caves" He asked nudging her

Moon looked relieved to know where they were. "Oh, good. Um... Let's go to the beach. It's pretty and I like running through the waves. Also," Moon nudged Aurora with her head, "it may cheer up mr grandpa grumpy here. He's down in the dumps, though he doesn't want to show it."

Aurora snorted with excitment "Okay! that sounds fun" He beamed with a bright smile which soon turned into a girn after Moon spoke again "That would be good, no one likes a grumpy grandpa" He teased for a moment before starting to trot off slowly towards the beach

Moon laughed. "Why would they? Grandpas are grumpy anyways, but West is even worse. Hey, wait up!" Moon cantered after Aurora, then slowed to a trot when she reached him.

Aurora shook his head "Nahhh West is better than a grumpy grandpa! Theres no way he is worse than one" He protested with a chucklr while waiting for Moon to catch up. Aurora let Moon get up beside with before flicking his tail at her side
