(continued from Ponyville)
Silence was making his way down the main road of Ponyville looking in on windows and shops to see if there was any sign of an orange unicorn. He was having no luck with his quest, and what's worse, it had begun to rain.
As the weather continued to get rough, the soggy little foal trotted over to the closest shelter, which so happened to be the Cotton Candy Cafe.
He would have gotten there much faster had it not been for his short, clumsy legs, which landed him face-first into a gigantic puddle. As he picked himself up from the muddy waters he looked into the rippled pool at his own reflection. After a quick glance at himself with no particular thoughts he continued up to the door of the café. Wish a forceful shove of his body, the door opened for I second, allowing him enough time to slip in.
Unfortunately since it was summer, the air conditioning was on and being dripping wet did not cope well with cold air. His soaked body shivered and a puddle was beginning to form underneath him. Ignoring this, the white pegasus looked around the restaurant. It possessed the sweet smell of sugary sweets and freshly baked pastries. It was enough to make his mouth water. He then saw a green pegasus standing around a few others. She seemed familiar but he couldn’t figure out how. He recognized her as someone he’d know in the past somehow, but he could not place a name or any identification.
He shook his body like a wet puppy, beads of water flying every which way. He was still damp, but at least he was no longer soaked. Perhaps it was all in his head, but it seemed warmer as well and his shivering ceased. He trotted over to her, unafraid, or rather unaware, the dangers of talking to strangers, but he was convinced she was not a stranger and who said anything about talking anyway?
He was about to nudge her leg when he finally realized who she was. She was Kailani, the mare who had healed his wounds the day he had come into this world. He was happy to see her, but now that he knew who she was he was afraid to let her know he was there. After all, Mom and Dad weren’t with him, and she might act differently towards him. He just sat on the floor and looked up towards her with a tilted head. He found her quite interesting.

"Can I have a Chocolate milkshake please?"
"Yes of course, you can each have one thing," Kail smiled down at the still somewhat shy filly.
Sherbet giggled madly as Coon winked at her, calling her a big girl with grace and beauty (she would most likely be moderately beautiful someday, but graceful was highly doubtful). "Hear that?" she said to the foal closest to her, "he thinks I'm a big girl too!"
Kail smiled and laughed softly when she heard the little voice behind her. "You certainly know how to treat a girl," she said with a little wink and blush, then heard Coon was taken with a lady himself. "Well, she must be the lucky mare! To find a stallion such as yourself so taken with her." Kail gave a sly smile, but she was truly happy for Coon. Besides, its not like she was in a rush to find anyone, her two most current choices were either clueless or so self-confident that they thought themselves a god. Not exactally promising.
But, my dear Princess, what happened to Miss Sunny D?"
Kail smiled at the nickname - she had to admit, it was one of the better nicknames she had held. "Miss SunnyD decided to go on a long vacation to Jadus Marinus since the spa here was ruined in the battle. That left me free for nearly a year to run the nursery, but I heard she got back into town just the other day, and I'm sure she will be calling for me sooner rather than later." A small frown shadowed Kail's face. She wanted to devote all her time to the nursery, but they really could use the money. And now that Swirl was back Kail would have no excuse not to go to SunnyD's every beck and call.
Sherbet watched silently as the doors opened and a white pegasus foal walked into the diner. He didn't say anything, but seemed to be starring at Kail - it was making her nervous. She looked at Razzaroo, "did we forget someone at the nursery? I dont remember him."

((I am reposting, as I am now stamped. Sorry.)) (Cont. from Ponyville) A stranger entered in silence the café. She was there to seek shelter. The purple pony looked majestic and imposing, but uncertain. 'Oh,' she thougt for herself. 'After days of traveling, it´s strange to see that many ponies at once.' A varm smile was spread across her face. She was standing there for a wile in silence, before walking over to the desk and ordering something to eat.

The blue filly looked over to Baby Sea Spray. "I don't think we would be here all night... though they were saying a storm is coming..." She paused for a moment and glanced into space, "I hope Kail will let me stay at the nursery... I dun have no where to go. I lost Sweet Berry..." She frowned and looked down at her puppy who was now under the table, licking her hooves. "Hehe, you thirsty?"
She looked towards Gumdrop and baby Sea Spray again and with a smile asked them for some help. "What do'ya think I should call him?" Bella guestured towards her puppy, "He's not got a name yet..."

Moon Crystal couldn't take it anymore. Surely Wysteria had about enough time now. She set down the menu and got up, glancing at Dreamer briefly before heading out without saying so much a word.
((cont. Solsbury Hill))
Dreamer had caught her eye, and read her thoughts. He felt like he should of stopped her with the storm outside and all, but he knew how dedicated Moony was when it came to her friends. so he didn't stop her, but let her have it her way.
He sighed and ran a hoof through his rainbow coloured mane, shaking his head.

(OOC: gack, so many...ponies...LOL )
She looked towards Gumdrop and baby Sea Spray again and with a smile asked them for some help. "What do'ya think I should call him?"
Glitterlilly wasted no time in pushing her shimmery purple head in next to Gumdrop's. "Hi. You should name him Aiden. Because um, he's really cute." Glitterlilly faltered, suddenly aware that she hadn't been asked. "..and, um, yeah."
-----
Meanwhile Swirl had returned Peri's hug, happy to tell him about her time away.
"It was very productive! And one of my favorite Sisters might be showing up in town later. I hope not in this weather though. Good for romance, aweful for travel. Good for treats, too. Will you be joining us? It would be nice to hear all about your adventures," And help us watch these frisky foals, they seem to be multiplying she thought to herself. Wait, there really WERE more of them...
Swirl turned her attention to Silence. There was that one day, when the nursery first started welcoming in it's orphans...there had been a pure white one, possibly? Very badly injured and so very small? She looked closer, realizing he was rather wet.
Though she'd been jostled rather far away from Kail, she mouthed the word "towel" and "nursery" to her, while looking at the little white solemn pony.

Lily burst into the Cafe, nearly running right into Silence and Kail. Luckily she managed to skid to a halt before doing any more damage to the foal than she'd already done. Panting for breath, she looked down at the colt. "Oh, Silence," she exclaimed. "Lookit you, your all muddy and soaked. We need to get you cleaned up, as you must be freezing in the cold air-conditioning."
She looked up and saw the group of foals with a few adults. She trotted over to the nearest one, which was Kail. "'Scuse me, miss," she asked, a little shyly. "But may I ask if you have something I could use to clean up the little foal, Silence? Or where I might find one?"

Whisperwind frowned. All night? I have no were to go. She walked towards the window and looked out. The sky was dark. She turned around. Perhaps I should ask the blue pegasi? However, she had to wait, as she was in a conversation.

Kail had caught Swirl's look and followed her gaze to the white one. Yes, he certainly did need a towel and a warm cup of tea or chocolate. Before she could even react, a pony came running through the doors, almost tripped over him, and spoke to her.
"'Scuse me, miss," she asked, a little shyly. "But may I ask if you have something I could use to clean up the little foal, Silence? Or where I might find one?"
"I don't have anything here no, but Im sure the waitstaff might have towels available. Otherwise I could take you to the nursery - its not far from here and we have plenty of towels and a nice warm bath." Kail looked over the counter but didn't see any clean towels they might snag for a moment. She really didn't want to leave the cafe and leave all the foals with Razz and Swirl who had just re-appeared out of practically nowhere. Not that she didn't trust them, but there was so much going on, it never hurt to have extra eyes.
She dug around in a small purse and got out as much money as she could find - that was the last of it. She would have no choice but go back to SunnyD. Giving Swirl and Razz a small smile she put it on the table. "For their treats. I will just wait up at the nursery for you guys - Im going to take these two over right now and get the little one cleaned up."
She barely recognized Silence with all that had happened since then.
(continued in the nursery. Just saw your post W - you are welcome to ask Swirl or Razzaroo)

Whisperwinds stomach gave a jolt. So these ponies were working at the nursery? She turned to Swirl. "Excuse me, you work for the nursery, right? I have traveled for days and do not have any place to spend the night. Could you please take me with you?"

Swirl did her best to keep one eye on Peri, one eye on the departing Kail, one eye on the flirtatious guy, one eye on the foals closest to her, and one eye on the pretty purple newcomer. Swirl felt a bit dizzy, but extraordinarily happy. It really was nice to be back into the swing of things.
"Oh, hello. I'm Strawberry Swirl. Yes, I do help out at the nursery. Would you like to go there now? You might be able to catch up with Kail - the pegasus. Or you're perfectly welcome to stay and eat with us. Good with kids? What about actors?" Swirl gave Peri a little wink.
Swirl watched Kail leave, and tried to mouth I have a big surprise for you at the nursery, but she wasn't sure if Kail saw it.

"Glad to meet you. My name is Whisperwind." The young unicorn glanced around. "Actually, I have already ate, but I will gladly stay."

"Fantastic!" Swirl paused and noticed that most of the adults had their hooves full. "Would you mind helping to get orders settled?"
Swirl winked at some of the foals. "The sooner you pick a treat, the sooner you get to eat it."
Not that Swirl was in a hurry, but at least if the younger ones had a mission they would be less likely to cause chaos. Hopefully it would take long enough to settle orders, get them, and eat them that the storm would have passed. Swirl hoped whoever was in the kitchen was in a good mood.
She waved at Razz "How's your table doing? This is Whisperwind, she can help."

(Kail did not see)
"I wanna brownie sundae... no, I wanna chocolate chip cookie sundae... no, I wanna...." Sherbet scanned the menu and bit her lower lip. She couldn't decide what she wanted. Then she saw the magic words. "I wanna Sherbet Sunday Explosion!" She giggled and dropped the menu to the table. So the menu actually called the desert just a sherbet sundae, it still sounded like the best dessert ever!

Whisperwind smiled and waved at Razz. "Sure I´ll help you."
