Mystery walked slowly out of the water as she saw something, white "Ghost?" She murmured, she cantered up towards him. Her ribs made a small cracking sound as she halted quickly in pain, making weazing sounds trying to catch her breath "Ghost, I'm sorry for leaving without telling you! I think you know both of my reasons.. And I hope you understand" She said, her tears streaming down her face again in shame and worry that Ghost was mad

West lifted his head slightly. "I- I'm sorry, Dixie is over..." he cut cut off as she continued. "No of course not- no! Ebony isn't another mare she's a foal..." He trailed off as she practically ran away. He hung his head slightly as he slowly stood and stumbled back to the herd. This wasn't how it was supposed to go.

(Yeah it REALLY wasn't supposed to go like this!... 😭)

Out of the corner of her eye Mystery spotted West, she felt HORRIBLE for greeting him like that, West WASN'T Menace. She glanced at Ghost one more time before trotting as fast as she could to West, she stopped next to him and placed her head over his back carefully and started to sob "West, I'm sorry! I shouldn't of spoken to you like that! You've been nothing but a good friend to me! I shouldn't of left in the first place! I saw the look on your face when you saw me... Why did you cry? Are YOU ok? I'm so so sorry!" Mystery managed to get the words out

Dixie stood next to Ebony, jumping into a gallop next to the foal. Just then, she slid to a stop as Mystery ran to Ghost. She looked over at West, her eyes showing her confusion. She looked back at Mystery. "Mystery..?" She walked up to her when she ran back to West. "Is that really you???"

West bottled up more powerful emotions as Mystery came over. "Don't do that, dont cry. You did nothing wrong. I know you. I know if you left you had a good reason, even if I may not understand it." He paused quietly. At her question. "I've been searching for you for months Mystery. You're one of the most important parts of this herd. You keep us all together. We can't lose you." He nuzzled her neck, then glanced up at Dixie. "It's really Mystery."

ghost watched at mystery cantered over to him "no no your fine mystery dont cry" he said voice soft before flinching as she spun around and went back to west he stood there looking a bit confused for a secound bfore walking up and putting his muzzle on her shoulder

Dixie practically tackled the mare "I missed you so much" she held back tears, nuzzling the mare.

ghost jumped back as dixie turned into a living recking ball he snorted and looked at ebony who looked confused he looked back over to west then dixie

Ebony tilted her head as Dixie ran away, snorting before trotting up. "You're Mystery, aren't you? I've heard so much about you! Are you okay?" She chirped, looking sweetly concerned.
