Ebony got drenched in the tsunami of water that came next. She tumbled heels over head backwards and landed with a huff in the stream. "NOT FAIR YOU ARE BIGGER." She whinnied before bounding downstream a little and prancing around.

Dixie pulled herself to her hooves. "Let's get you washed off on a QUIETER part of the stream" she said as she grabbed his mane in her teeth in an attempt to pull him up. She dropped his mane. "You're on your own with this one" she said. "Up up up!" She backtracked a second to give him space to stand

West let out a quiet groan. He didn't WANT to move. "I'm sure Ebony will end up bouncing to anywhere we are or Ghost is. She reminds me of you a little bit." He grinned before sighing as he attempts to drag him up by his mane failed spectacularly. "Gimme a moment.." He mumbled before pushing himself to his feet with a grimace of pain. Letting the wounds sit had hurt, but he had needed to rest. He shook his mane slightly before limping to a quieter bend in the stream.

Dixie tried not to burst into 'oh she does!' or 'what did you do to her to turn her into me' or 'did you miss me more because of her?'. Dixie stopped and let him walk a little bit ahead before finding her place right at his shoulder. "You sure you're ok..?" She stayed right at his side, slowing her pace so she could maintain her position

West glanced over at Dixie as she spoke, nodding his head slightly. "I'm really fine. Or will be soon anyway. Fights always have injuries, but this one had a great gain, so I would never regret doing it." He answered, glancing with a small smile at Ebony before entering the still rather cold to him stream and wincing as water washed against the clotted blood and swished it away. Quicker than he thought would happen all the red trails in the water washed downstream and tada, he was fine. Just cold. He climbed out and shook his pelt with a slight shiver.

"So you're gunna be a father figure to her? Oooo can I play mom!" She priced, trying not to show how happy she was to actually be able to parent. She had seen Macy do it so well whenever Scarlet would be a pest or do something stupid. Macy had even given her tips, although Dixie didn't really see herself having a foal after Willow was taken in by West. "Would you ever consider having your OWN foals? You could still adopt the others but what would it be like having your own foal..." she blurted out kind of on the quiet side. She peered up at West since he was a bit taller than her.

West glanced at Dixie with a small smile. "If you want to. I do have a feeling Ebony is going to get into a lot more trouble than Willow though." He commented with a side glance at the filly that had just successfully pinned a fish under her hooves without killing it and had let it go unharmed. He had no idea how in this universe that could happen, but it did. At her question he tilted his head slightly, a small sort of sad expression coming onto his face. "Well..." He paused. "I've... always wanted a foal that I was actually the father too... but a couple years ago I kind of resigned the hope because it probably wasn't going to happen. Helping Foals in need of help, like Ebony, has been a sort of filler for the gap." He stopped, like he had something more to say but didn't want to say it. West turned his gaze back to the filly, thinking.

Ebony saw a shape flitting under the surface of the water. It was moving so slow. She could totally catch it! She snuck up on it before jumping like eighteen times and managing to pin it. "OOOEEOEOOEOEOE" She squeaked, letting it go quickly and flailing out of the stream, her hooves going 494 different directions.

ghost snorted at ebony "fair piont" he said with a snort before turning his head as he heard dixie and west he shook hid head to get water off his mane the feather whiping his neck he looked at ebony as she pinned the fish under her hooves his face confused before he walked up to her ".....are you ok" he asked still looking confused

Dixie smiled "i can! Yay!!!" Dixie pranced, unable to control how happy she was. Dixie tried to hide the sadness in her voice "well... maybe some little mare will change that for you" she didnt know if she was ready to put herself in that position. She had seen how hard it was for Mystery and Angel. Macy had told her all about the pains and weakness you get from it, but she also told her how happy she was to bring a beautiful life into the world. Dixie lowered her head, eyeing the filly as she bounced out of the water
