ghost looked up seeing a cougar running at some mares he dug his hooves into the ground and launched into a gallopwhen he was infront of the mares with a diffrent stallon he reared his his balck hooves seeming to atack the sky when he landed his white ears were pinned his blue eyes were stareing at the big cat who was not getting lunch

Athena looked up as a horse ran forwards, she watched to see what he was doing,

Willow's gaze on Trigger softened even more when he said yes to going with her, "Cool! Let's.. Go" Willow kept getting distracted by Trigger's gorgeous appaloosa patched coat, realising how weird she must be acting she shook out of it "Okie, let's go" She re-phrased, as she turned and started trotting out to the trees, her brown and blue gaze caught something off to the right. A cougar!? Willow watched in slight panic as the huge kitty was trying to hunt the mares, her gaze quickly scanning the herd making sure her mother, Athena, West, Cannon Dixie, Scarlet and Macy were all safe, once she was sure they were out of harm's way because of Phoenix and Ghost. She whimpered to Trigger "Come on, we should hurry so the cougar doesn't spot US" She said lowering her head and quick-trotting into the treeline. As they traveled a little deeper into the forest Willow's tense body soon relaxed knowing that the cougar wouldn't follow, and her stride lengthened and moved more slowly till she was at a complete walk, ultimately, once she found a good enough spot where it was built like a clearing with a crystal blue lake she stopped walking "Few! At least we weren't being chased" Willow joked looking back where they came, she sniffed the air. No predator scent! She looked at Trigger silently for a moment, her mind coming to the realisation that it was NOW she would have to say what she wanted to say, otherwise what's the point in dragging him out here? She smiled tilting her head a little figuring out what to start off with, finally she opened her mouth "So, I didn't just drag you out here to stay silent or send you back, and unless we were exploring together like the old times, I wouldn't bring you here without something important. Therefore now I guess I have to tell you my TOP secret!..." Willow couldn't really stand still at this point, she was a mix of happy, nervous, excited, and worried. Her back right leg kept raising and stomping on the ground, as she coughed a little as if she were making a announcement "Okay, Trigger? We've known each other since... Well... Since as early as we can remember! And uhh... You and Athena are my bestest friends in the whole wide world! And I guess, over the years we've grown up together, playing and talking. Sneaking off to explore places we probably shouldn't of explored. I mean over the last... Year? Or half a year... I've found that every time I look at you... You seemed different? I didn't understand what was different, but as of late I've come to realise something HUGE!" Willow said dramatically tossing her head a little before smiling brightly "That I... I really like you Trigger.. Maybe even love you!" Willow said, her voice going high

ghost shook his head and reared at the big cat again as it slowly started to back off he un pinned his ears after it ran away and turned to the mares and there foals "is every one ok" he asked lowering his head a little so he could look at them better (for reference ghost is 18.3 hands (8 feet 3 inches) )

ghost nodded as the mares thanked him "no problem im just glad no one was hurt" he said with a chuckle as the foals ran of to play before nodding to phoneix

trigger looked at willow confused. he then caught on. "i really like you too willow"

Dixie looked around, dropping her head to sniff the sand. She noticed Scarlet trotting around like a crazy filly. Fisher was standing in the middle of SHR circle, watching her.

ghost turned his head to watch scarlet and fisher before glancing around to see if the two foals were still okay
