Dixie dropped her head lower than before, her muzzle hitting the grass. She stared at the blade of grass, watching a tiny ant. She snorted and it went flying into the air. She shook her head and lifted it just in time to see the two love birds flinging dirt on each other. West seemed caught in the middle. Dixie giggled and turned away.

Aurora couldn't help but roar with laughter at her reaction "Oh come on, I made your coat even better" He snorted out sarcastically with a wide smirk. At her next statement his smirk dropped "Don't you dare-" He as about to say but instantly was hit with dirt right in the face. Aurora snorted sharply before shaking his face to get it off him "Alright, I see how you wanna play" He said a bit mischeviously before taking a hard but playfully nip at her withers then snapping around, flicking his tail in her face, then bolting off spraying dirt over her once again

Phantom continued to gallop around for quite awhile before she caught a smell in the wind, she slowed her gallop down slightly to sniff the air "Ugh.. Stallion" She grumbled but the stallion did smell very familiar. Phantom slowed to a canter scanning the fields to try and find where the smell was coming from but she had only caught one whiff of it and now she couldn't pick back up the smell

Moon rolled her eyes but before she could regain her eye position Aurora bit her and kicked even MORE dirt onto her now-covered-in-dirt coat. "I- I can't- How could you?!" Moon neighed, chasing after Aurora and leaving West in the dust. The chase soon turned into a race, and Moon and Aurora were side by side, chests heaving with the effort. Moon glanced sideways to see Aurora smiling, clearly thinking about how they used to do this as foals. And Moon was, too.

Aurora looked at his side seeing Moon being at his side, he was smiling seeing her but also at the fact they were racing just like when they were foals. The finish line was of course the big oak tree like always which he urged himself forward stretching his legs out full length to cover more ground. Which got him a little more ground between the two, he looked back at her and flashed a cocky smile as he kept that distance but when they started to near the tree he slowed way down letting Moon get ahead and beat him. Aurora always did that for her whether if she was always winning or not, he didn't make it obvious though so she didn't know exactly what he was doing, or he hoped she didn't. Aurora finally reached the tree right behind Moon huffing and puffing a bit heavy to act tired "One of these days I'm going to beat you" Aurora huffed with a small smile

Tiger watched phantom with playfully flicked ears, he restrained against the urge to neigh out, he wasn't in this herd anymore, he never was, he was just a outcast hooking onto the back of a random herd, Tiger turned, -what's the bet they don't remember me anyway?- he thought to himself, Tiger flicked his tail, a few strands of his tail escaping the safety of the trees, showing to the open herd, he walked back towards his valley slowly

Phantom continued to scan the prairie when she cauht another whiff of the scent, she snapped her head in that direction in just enough time to see a tail flick into the trees. She looked at West then darted off in that direction with her ears pinned -I swear if it's another snotty stallion- She thought with a slight snarl as she quickly caught up to the tree lines. When she got there she immediately saw the back of the stallion so she ran back and got in front of him to stop him in his tracks. Phantoms ears were pinned back with her teeth bared slightly as she was about to go off on the stallion when her demeanor changed completely as she recognised him "Tiger!" She whinnied out happily before nuzzling up against his neck

"Phantom?" He said looking at the mare, nuzzling her back, he played with her mane a little, "why aren't you with west? Oh, how's your training?" He asked

Phantom shifted to the side so she could lay her head across Tigers withers "I was with West but I smelled a stallion and since random stallions have decided to come here and be bossy I wanted to scare whoever it was off but obviously I don't want too now since I know it's you... And training is going great, I've gotten stronger but still not as strong as you or West" She said calmly while leaning onto him slightly

Tiger turned his head so he could look back at phantom, "that must be troubling, to have a great deal of stallions, storm in and be bossy" he said, with a worried expression, "that's great to hear about your training, I am sure you will get there with some more training" he said, nuzzling her

"Yeah it is but thankfully it has been calm recently so no more trouble.. for now at least" She said with a small snort before leaning into his nuzzles "I hope I will" Phantom said a bit cheerfully before shifting oncer more so that she was facing the same way as Tiger but was just leaning up against him a bit
