Gumdrop turned around and narrowed her eyes at Aedeminar. She didn't understand. She didn't have any powers! Or did she. She watched in awe at the glowing lights, especially the mostly purple one.
She wanted to touch it. She lifted a hoof, but she decided not to. What if it ruined the pretty light? A smile drifted onto her face.

Dreamer listened with interest. He glanced at Gabriel, not surprised or anything, just curious of what the alicorn would say.
"So he has this ancient magic in him to become a mage, and same with young Gumdrop too..." Dreamer allowed his thoughts to wander.
"Dreamer..." The gentle familiar voice of his Master leaked into his mind, building a barrier around the two minds and preventing others from looking in. Dreamer replied immediately, listening and questioning what his master spoke of, most of it making little sense to Dreamer since his mind hadn't been cleaned out fully.
"But I want to know-" The connection had broken just as suddenly as it came. Dreamer inwardly frowned. Just like him to do something like that. Leave things for me to find out for myself...
He turned his attention back to the others, waiting Gabriels choice... Dreamer wandered what was to happen if Gabriel chose to learn from Aedeminar...#nosmileys

Razz was a bit perplexed by the recent activity in the nursery. To add to this, Sky Feathers began to wail again.
"What's wrong now?" he asked, gently.
"She's probably hungry," Fluttershy said, having regained her composure enough for one last sniffle. "I-I'll go and see about getting her some milk in a bottle." She got up off her chair and walked into the kitchen.
Razz was watching the newcomer's arrival with interest when Fluttershy brought him the bottle. He tried to feed Sky Feathers, but she was resistant and he was quite a butterhooves and dropped the bottle twice on the floor. Fluttershy finally took pity on him. She pulled the foal close to her as she sat back down, wrapped her in a blanket, and coaxed her to eat. After much encouragement, Sky Feathers finally began to drink. Razz gave Fluttershy a nod of thanks and was then drawn away by the newcomer's little globes of light.
"Wow," he said. "That's a neat trick."
He wondered how she knew which ponies had magic and which didn't. He was pretty sure he didn't have any magic, except for what had been left behind of the rainbow's violet touch. That didn't seem to be the kind of magic she was talking about. He wondered how many different kinds of magic there were in the world.

Kail tightened her wing protectively around Gumdrop until she realized that the other didn't mean any harm. Still, motherly instincts were kicking into the young-looking pony and she wouldn't let the little one be harmed, so she loosened her wing but kept it there all the same, her sharp eyes staying on the pony.
Sherbet loved the lights, she danced around them in glee, crouching down as if to pounce, only to bounce up and squeal in delight.

Gumdrop snuggled into Kail's fur. Although the pony made pretty lights, she still was a little intimidated.
Crystal and Sweet Berry trotted into the nursery. The black pegasus was a little surprised to see how crowded the nursery was. They walked over to Kail. "Um... Hi. We've found a foal down at Sparx's chocolate shop. She has lost her parents. We just came to tell you incase someone comes looking for her. her name is Bellaluna. She is blue with red and white hair." Sweet Berry smiled and nodded in the background.

As if on queue, Bellaluna raced to the door, slipping on the snow and sliding right past it. A small thud was heard but soon her little face appeared happily at the window.
Pushing with all her strength, Bella managed to open the door by herself. She stood smiling, seeming very proud of herself just as the door swung back towards her, making her fall forward slightly. Instantly, she turned back to the door, looking at it curiously as if it had hit her on purpose.
Turning back towards the others in the nursery, she smiled brightly and trotted up to Sweet Berry, sitting patiently beside her.

Kail had let Gumdrop snuggle into her, and kept the protective blanket of feathers around her, although the entrance by the other two forced her eyes to leave the strange pony.
"Oh goodness Rainbows, another one?" she said before Stellaluna had time to enter. Kail wanted to cry, it was too much to take on right now, six or so foals showing up in one night, Dark scaring the rainbows out of her in the bathroom, a strange pony creating a kalidescope of colorful lights, and not to mention the confusing emotions she was still feeling over Razzaroo.
But she wouldn't have had time to cry even if she wanted to, because in the next second the newest foal was in the door and sitting next to Sweetberry.
Sherbet's eyes widdened as the newest foal came into the room - she looked like she could be a fun playmate! She bounded over in between the crazy lights with a smile. "Hello! Im Sherbet Explosion!"

Crystal laughed. "No, she won't be staying here. She'll be staying with a red stallion named Red Rook. But we decided that we should let you know, because the nursery is where poeple would come looking for lost ponies..." She sniffed. "So if anyone comes looking for her, please tell them that she is staying with Red Rook."
Gumdrop peeked over Kails 's wing and watched the new foal. She snuggled into Kail even more, finding that she was starting to become a little shy. She heard the worry in Kail's voice, and she smiled and gave her a hug, one that meant more than a usual one.
Sweet Berry Put her hoof around little Bellaluna and smiled. She certainly was a cute foal.
Crystal spoke again. "Swirl says that it is okay if I volunteer to help here for a while. Is that okay? Is certainly looks like you need the help." She looked about at all the young foals that hadn't been there before when she had left.

Bellaluna grinned delightedly at Sherbet, "Hullo!" She sqealed as she bent down and bounded joyfully at one of the lights. Of course, she completly missed it, and landed with a tumble on the floor. All she did was giggle about it as she turned back to Sherbet. "I'm Bellaluna!" She beamed, "I is a super hero ya'no. They call me The Night Nemesis!" She pounced playfully at Sherbet's tail but completely missed that too.
As Sweetberry put her hoof around Bella, she looked up at the mare and smiled sweetly to her, sitting patiently again, for the time being.
Suddenly, she noticed the other foal under Kail's wing. Her own eyes widened and sparkled in curiousity. She noticed, though, that Gumdrop looked rather sad, and a slight frown instantly fell upon her own face as she wondered what was wrong.

Swirl's voice could be heard through the door, chatting about the nursery and how anyone was welcome to stay there, and how wonderful it has been working there. Swirl pushed open the door and looked in, only to stop mid-step. It looked like a baby explosion - complete with balls of light. A baby firecracker had obviously gone off, splattering babies everywhere.
"Woah. Did I pick a wrong time for a walk?"

"It's OK, Kail," Razz said, seeing a bit of the distress in her face. "We'll get through somehow."
It was all quite unexpected. In fact, his whole life recently had been one big pile of unexpected. But he knew they would somehow make it all work. Even though he was already stressing about making ends meet to keep the nursery running, as business wasn't exactly booming at the curiosity shop, he still felt in his heart that they would somehow pull it together.

Pale eyes never left Aedeminar as the mare spoke. Had he not known any better, Gabriel would have figured the newcomer to be a few bananas short of a bunch, if you know what I mean. He knew, though, that the mare was real, and she spoke of the truth.
Taking a deep breath, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly. He bowed his head and spoke. "I am but a student."
Gabriel smiled and straightened himself out, allowing his eyes to scan the room briefly. There was too much going on, and ponies continued to fill the area.

Aedeminar's skin twitched. Too many...ponies... "Live alone a few hundred years and even two seems like a crowd...this is insane," she muttered under her breath. To Gumdrop she said simply, "I'll leave you be for a time, little one. But I'll come back soon and then we'll talk..." The purple light drifted down and settled on the floor next to the foal. The others seemed to drift, carried by the various breezes created by all the ponies moving around.
"Well then, Gabriel. Too much going on here. Come with me to the Black Dragon Inn? There seems to be a crowd gathering there, too, but at least I know we can claim a quiet corner."

Sweet Berry smiled at Bellaluna and took her hoof away. There was only so long a crazy foal could sit still.
Gumdrop watched the light settle onto the ground. It was so pretty... She nodded at the big pony, but she didn't know why. She just knew that she wanted her to come back.

Dreamer blinked, frowning slightly. Gabriel... accepted...? The alicorn didn't exactly want his new friend to leave, but then something told him that he shouldn't interfer. It was their business now, not his.
