Angel looked at the argument and stood infront of mystery when flame pointed her out. She then followed west as he left. Walking close to mystery

Dixie lowered her head as they turned to leave. A few of the other mares had heard West and they were quickly trying to follow them. Dixie sighed her eyes glued to the ground as thoughts flitted through her head. -how could I have forgotten that I had been Flames lead? Stupid Dixie. Stupid stupid stupid- she walked right into West "oh. Sorry" she said softly as she took a few steps to the side. Some of Flames mares had managed to escape and were following along silently. They had learned the skill of silence a long time ago. Dixie looked back and noticed that Firefly wasn't there. -I hope she's ok...- she thought

-

Scarlet tossed her beautiful white head. " I'm not even winded!"

Mystery's face sank when Flame called her fat -Am I really that... Big?- She thought to herself, her face slightly cheered just slightly when Angel got protective. Then they all turned and followed West, Mystery noticed some of Flame's mares had escaped and were also following. Mystery walked a little closer to Dixie and West "Hey West? I have something to tell you.." Mystery said slowly, she looked at the ground as she felt ashamed of keeping this from him "I'm.. pregnant. And it's Flame's foal... He forced something that I didn't want.. I'm so sorry for not telling you... I think I'm almost done, it won't be long. I was Wondering if you could be like a father to my foal? help me hide the truth. I mean only as friends, I just want my foal to think it has two parents. Anyway I think you and Dixie are a better pair" Mystery smiled slightly as she said Dixie and West are perfect together

Dixie listened and nuzzled Mystery when she confessed to West. She looked away when she mentioned her and West.

Angel listened but felt she didn't belong nor deserve to hear. She trotted infront just a little so she couldn't hear. Angel was looking more cheerful. She started thinking about wild and how she had been taken and him killed. She started to look less cheerful and drop her head a little.

West kept his pace at a walk, not wanting to rush this. They were well on his territory now, so it didn't matter. When Mystery started speaking he listened with the same care he usually did, but his expression grew surprised as she mentioned the foal and how she was pregnant. "Oh-" He stopped short, deciding to think it through. "I'm very sorry Flame did that, but I'm glad you have a foal and that it is doing well." He stated, then looked even more shocked when Mystery continued about him being the father figure and then even MORE stunned when she mentioned him and Dixie. (That was like 34 revalations for West, and about 12 light bulbs XD) -No wonder she was so fat. So that was what she had been keeping from me? Why? Oh, it was rude to think my first comment erase that. Why would she ask me to be a father figure? I thought they were growing farther away from me. This will be awesome I have always wanted to take care of a foal! Or help, anyway. I wonder if it will look like Mystery. What will she name it? Will it be a colt or filly? WHY DID MYSTERY SAY DIXIE AND I WHAT WAIT AGH- West's thoughts went about like that, all up to his screaming in his head at the end. "Wait- what?" He asked looking utterly confused and stunned.

Angel remembered her old training from when she was taken. She had a couple of western perks. She started to lope and it looked pretty cool. She was quite ahead of the others.

Rebel decided that maybe, MAYBE, this was a good herd to walk through, unlike most of the other ones he had seen before. There was a group of three or more horses talking, two of them quite big and bulky, and one of them a beautiful dapple grey. He scanned the herd one last time then took a deep breath and trotted over, slowing to a walk when he was closer to the group of horses. He walked past, trying to look nonchalant, but also trying to eaves drop. He had learned this from his travels; always listen to every conversation you can, and always have your ears open.

Mystery looked at Dixie, did Mystery go too far by mentioning Dixie and West? "Are you alright?" She asked Dixie. While waiting for a response Mystery noticed West looked and sounded confused "Sorry, I know its a lot to take in, you don't have too.. And I was just saying what I thought about you and Dixie.. Sorry if I made you two uncomfortable" Mystery said a little embarrassed

Naw, you just shocked West. He had absolutely no idea anyone thought that XD... he may be very observative when it comes to some emotions... but flirting and love? Not some of them))

West slowly came back to the present after his *tiny bit* slow brain comprehended what was just said. "Oh no I'm perfectly fine, you just caught me..... ... off guard." He commented, it finally dawning on him that not everyone saw their herd as a family where everyone loved everyone in a brotherly sisterly way. -Pfft- West thought, glancing at a colt that was warily walking partly through the herd. "Hello, who are you? Also, try not to eavesdrop unless you want someone to notice you doing it." West said with a slight chuckle, tilting his head at the small foal.
