"I won't make a mess!" Tsuwari wrinkled his nose. Noticing the delicious pile of pancakes before him, he ran his tongue over his lips in anticipation. He looked as if he might take a bite, then withdrew his head and looked across the table for the syrup pitcher. As soon as Rose turned her back, the orange-red baby stood on his chair, with front feet on the table, and reached for the small pitcher. By the time she turned again, he was sitting, attempting to pour the sweetness over his pancakes. He ended up with a little more than a normal pony desired.. especially on his hooves, nose, horn...

Rose cringed, sighed, but ultimate said nothing at Tsuwari's willingness at a healthy portion of syrup. She knew there was no way to prevent messes with most foals, this was no different. The unicorn would just have to make sure he washed up good after breakfast.
Oh, what day is it? She glanced at the calender while flipping a pancake for herself. Days blured together since Rose was parenting. She never knew if Tsuwari needed to be taken anywhere for any appointments or activities, let alone her own agenda to the side.
Rose had been considering placing Tsuwari in Twinkle Twirls beginner's dance class. Perhaps interaction with foals his age would develop social skills, maybe even leader skills as Rose was certain Tsuwari could be a good leader. But all that amongst the other things....well, there just wasn't enough time in the day. Sleep, what sleep?
"Oh, I have to bring in those flower bulbs to the Shop today," popped suddenly into her head. Oh yes, Tsuwari would have to clean up well to be presentable in public.

Tsuwari soon figured out that if he had enough syrup on his mouth and he exhaled, he could blow sticky bubbles!
"Mama, watch this!" He demonstrated his talent at playing with his food, though it only ended up with more syrup on his face. Suddenly, it seemed, it was in his mane too.
"Are we going anywhere today?" He asked with a mouthful of pancakes.

Rose with held a sigh and an outburst, knowing that get angry was not the key here. It was hot enough all ready, she wasn't going to stress over something like this.
"Yes we are, and I expect you to be on your best of behaviors.," she said, "But before we go anywhere you'll have to get a good cleaning."
Rose needn't say anything of a popsicle reward unless absolutely needed.

Tsuwari licked the remaining syrup from his plate. "A bath?!" He looked disgusted. "I'm not that dirty!" He protested, a line of syrup trailing from his hoof to his nostril.

"Maybe not all that now, young man," a little sternly said, " But if you leave the house looking like that, you're bound to get something else stuck to you. And then you'll be cranky and sticky, walking around outside. There's no doubts about it, you need to get clean."

Tsuwari put his hoof on the table, and raised it with a fork stuck to it. He giggled and looked up at his mother, blushing.

Rose raised an 'eye thought so' eyebrow, now sitting down to her own breakfast. Once finished, she prepared the bath for Tsuwari.
(God I'm hungry.....)

Tsuwari, having finished his breakfast, and knowing he'd soon have a bath, carefully slid out of his chair, and onto the floor. Pausing for a moment beneath the table, he darted out suddenly towards another room.

Rose Rebellion's ears folded down in annoyance as she knew the rustling meant Tsuwari was avoiding the inevitable. As well as trailing gobs of syrup through the house. The rebelious unicorn had had enough.
She stood, and walked heavily into the kitchen, folded her arms, and said forcefully, "Young man, you had best get your rear in gear and hop into that tub, or I swear, there will be no dessert and tv for a week!!"

Caught mid-stride just in the next room, Tsuwari came to a halt, folded back his ears, and plodded into the kitchen. He sat dejectedly at the entrance, eyes on the floor and a frown on his face. "Yes, Mama."
One day, he would make his great escape.

Rose smiled triumphantly, picking him up carefully avoiding his stucky face, and propmtly went to the bathroom where his bath awaited him. Of course, knowing Tsuwari, a bath would be fruitless now since he would probably need one by the end of the day.
She set him into the water gently, and added a little bubble bath mix to entertain him while she worked what she could out of his coat.

Tsuwari splashed and played joyously in the water, the bubbles quite entertaining for the young foal. Gripping his Super Sea Pony in one hoof, he carried on adventures all in his own world, occaisionally popping a stray bubble.

Rose beamed inwardly at the entertained Tsuwari. Seeing the plastic bath toy made her reflect on memories back during her own childhood. She could still remember clear as day the first sea pony she'd ever met. Prancing Pearl, was her name, she recalled. Rose had happened upon her during a trip to the beach with her parents, down into a little secluded cove. It was a great adventure for her, one of her more worth whiled ones.
"One of these days, I'm going to take you to this beach near Dream Valley," Rose told him, scrubbing behind his ears, "I'll have to introduce you to a friend of mine."

"Dream Valley?" Tsuwari's eyes grew wide as he paused in his play, "Where the Smooze was? Really? Come on, Mama, let's go!" The little orange unicorn grabbed his toy in his mouth and started to get out of the tub.
