West snorted a little as Dixie came by and pretty much completely soaked everything but his head and back. He backed up from the steam. "You're silly." He said drily, though he sounded amused as he turned to the farther out area, and started walking that way.

Dixie picked up a canter for a few steps before slowing herself to walk beside him. "Where you walkin off to?" She asked "already trying to find Mystery?" She tilted her head

West nodded slightly. "Yes.. I'm worried about her. Why would she just leave... and not return? I know she was upset about.. Dawn..." He paused sadly. "But you'd think she would come back. I need her to come back. I miss her. She's my best friend." He answered quietly, his head dropping slightly as his walk slowed a little.

Dixie sighed at his words. That's when it hit her. She didn't have a friend that she could call a BEST friend. She never talked to any of them anymore. She lowered her head, her ears flopping to the side as she thought

West was pretty much grief stricken about why him and Mystery hadn't talked much before she left and why she hadn't said goodbye. He didn't know either thing, but it made him feel even hesitant to call her his best friend. Did she even care anymore? Whatever happened with her, he still had to try his hardest to find her. (Hyrule, Mystery has to come back or this rp literally DIES. Because if she doesn't come back, West dies, then Dixie dies, which means Macy and Scarlet die, then Willow dies, and everyone DIES.)

Lolllllll)

Dixie quietly walked along side West. A solemn look was covering her face. There was no bright side that she could think of. She grimaced as she tried to find something good. +I'm with West. That's good. Ebony is good.+ she managed to reassure herself a little

West flicked his ears back slightly. (This has to be a bonding time, why is it so sad -le sob-) "I'm... glad I get to spend some time with you, Dixie. Even if it is to search for Mystery." he started quietly, wanting to bring their minds off of the sadder things they were thinking about.

Lol idk...)

Dixies ears perked forward as he spoke. "I'm glad you didn't leave me in the dust this time" she joked, her mood lightening as the seconds passed.

West snorted. "I never left you in the dust. I can't go fast enough to leave anyone in the dust." His words faltered out as sorrow filtered in. A specific memory quickly flitted back. Phantom... when they first met they had raced. Of course she was much faster, but he just had to make his loss better by doing some crazy stunt. He wondered if he could even still do his special moves at the end of races. He missed Phantom. With a sigh, he tried to forget about it.

Dixie laughed "you're right! You can't!" She flicked her tail as she trotted ahead, turning and trotting circles around him as he walked. "Lose that sad face you got there! " she jumped into a canter and kept a small distance between her and West, her tail and mane catching the wind and blowing back
