Dixie listened as Mystery explained hee love for West "why didn't you tell me..?" She asked quietly. She felt bad for not noticing it sooner, but now she could think back and pin point certain spots that it was blatantly obvious. "And how was I sipuch a terrible friend to the point that I didn't ask? And I want you to be happy too! Its not just about me. This herd isn't made up of a select few, it is everyone. And how could I POSSIBLY hate you!" She sniffled "you're going to be the best aunty. Don't tell Macy I said that" she grinned slightly

Mystery's ears raised a little when Ghost came over then left, but they fell again when Dixie asked why she didn't tell her "Because you live him.. WAAAY more than me! And I don't like competing over stallions it seems silly to" Mystery tried to explain "Macy picked up, I denied it but she didn't believe me, and Ghost knows because he followed me into the woods a while ago and I told him there so that I wouldn't keep bottling this" She mentioned. Mystery observed Dixie's body language, her head raised a bit and her ears came up slowly as she didn't sense anger from her friend. But her ears flattened, almost in annoyance (ALMOST) "No! You are not allowed to think like that Dixie! You aren't a terrible friend! You are one of the greatest! You just probably didn't realize it because you didn't want it to be true, but I can assure you it's not anymore" Mystery said firmly, by the end her ears flew forward as she nuzzled Dixie's neck "Yeah but... I am happy, I have Willow, Ghost, you and Macy, West. Aaaand you entrusted me with some of the best news I've ever heard! I couldn't be happier! You and West are perfect together, I'd never ruin you guys! And I'm a little shocked you don't hate me because I was worried you'd mistake me for competition " Mystery let out with a sigh. Mystery smiled a little more at Dixie's last sentence"Aww really? Secrets safe with me " She nodded in a professional way

Dixie nuzzled Mystery back "Im glad we got that settled" she said with a flick of her tail. "No competition here!" She said with a giggle. "I could never see you as competition! If it was, you would win" she grinned playfully. "Now let's go! I feel the need to move!" She kicked into a canter and moved swiftly around the field

( all i can think mysterys ears look like is seesaw seesaw seesaw XP)

ghost heard his nme brought up twice each time he raised his head then snorted he walked up to the mares again this time poping his head over mysterys back "see sneaky" was all he said before troting around her his mane bouncing he stoped on her left side before cocking a hind leg and glancing over at west who looked like he was questioning life

(haha lol s)

Mystery smiled, with mostly relief "Yeah me too. But West still shouldn't know" She suggested, She smiled and rolled her eyes "Haha veeeery funny! Which one of us is carrying HIS foal? The answer means that you clearly would win, you're younger and a appy, where as I'm getting older each day and I'm plain gold" Mystery pointed out in a joking manner. She grinned and nodded eagerly "Ha thought you'd never ask. I've been needing to stretch these racing legs for weeks! You canter I'll be beside you and we'll own the fields together!" Mystery cheered as if they were running into war

"Were almost the same age!" She protested "and gold is definitely better than spots" she grinned as she cantered, her mane lifting in the wind. Her hooves pounded the earth as she moved. "I love running!" She yelled

Mystery snorted and came up behind her, the sound of her hooves hitting the ground brought back good memories, she steered a little to canter up next to Dixie "WOOOHOOOOO I'm in love with running! Ugh why haven't I been doing THIS lately!?" She screamed into the wind, her mane and tail flying which released some dirt that stored up, Mystery was now getting rounder, she wasn't so skinny anymore, now she could go crazy and not worry about breaking something. She laughed "Hey Dixie? How do you feel about a gallop?" She asked speeding up a little

"I've been cantering!" She yelled as she sped up to a slow gallop. "I may be pregnant but I can still run! Try to keep up!" She pushed a little faster, a smile on her face

scarlet took a step backwards to clear dixie and mysterys path as they ran by he smiled at willow "you want to join them or are you to scared to lose" he flew into pace his long legs taking up the ground

==-=-

ghost watched the mares take off with a sigh as he troted to the river and diping his head to drink his eyes flicked over to the other side were he saw mysterys sister standing he jumped but when he looke up again she was gone

(oops sorry I meant gallop not canter haha sleep deprived)

Mystery sped up a bit more, coming a little in front, than she remembered that the mare was pregnant and felt bad so when Dixie sped up Mystery slightly slowed to hide the difference and fell a little behind "Oh I'm trying!" She giggled like a filly.

________________________ Willow

Willow finally stopped looking and came back to eat apples, she saw Scarlet looking at her. Her ears pinned back playfully "Hey! I'm not scared! I'll be at them both! I am my mother's daughter so I should be able to run like her" She jumped straight from halt to canter within 3 seconds "Watch out fossils I'm coming to beat you!" Willow squealed out as she went into a gallop kicking up dirt behind her
