"What, ah, kind of adventures do you usually go on for breakfast?"Swirl paused and cocked her head, sending her wobbly bun toppling to the side. One of her hair pins poinged out and her hair-do half way unraveled. Though now that she'd adjusted to being awake she ignored it, planning on dealing with her hair sometime after cleaning chores. Though she did push it back a bit merely for the sake of not looking like a crazed lunatic surrounded by hyper children. "Oh, I don't really know..." she dropped her voice and leaned a little closer to Karma, "Sometimes I think breakfast IS the adventure, heee " Swirl settle back against the counter, "Razz, do we have a plan?" Swirl relaxed a little, going elsewhere for a breakfast adventure sounded rather nice, actually. Maybe they could go daisy dancing, or she could unravel that chunk of hot air balloon from her arrival that she stashed under her bed for playing Parachute with the kids. They'd probably benefit from spinning in circles for an hour or so. Swirl chuckled under her breath at Loo's innocent questions. After all, who doesn't want to play?

Wow - what is it with Sherbet and family? Still, it's not like it's a bad thing... Meera watched Swirl's hair tumble back out of it's bun, and couldn't help but send a remaining bobby pin clattering to the floor as well. Then she turned to Sherbet. "Uhh...so what exactly are we going to do first?"

The filly grinned. "Yay! Breakfast!" She suddenly realised how hungry she was. "Can I have toast with peanutbutter on?" Then something horribly sad came over her. "I - I used to do so..." She shook her head, her eyes gleaming. She was so sad, yet she did´nt really understand it. She was never to see mommy again.

Silence folded his arms and leaned back, close-eyed and frowning in his chair. The green pegasus next to him seemed to be fidgeting an awful lot, and he couldn't understand why. But then again, he didn't much care either way.
That is, until his looked up and saw that the chair was suddenly vacant. His head tilted for a moment and he turned to see she had busied herself with the others. Looking back at the vacancy... it seemed to bother him a bit. He turned his head with a frown, fighting off any thought that hapened to pass his mind. The entrance of the one called Karma made the peg suddenly tense. There was something about her he didn't like. It almost felt like she could see right through him, or know his thoughts... or something along those lines. Whatever it was, Silence didn't like it one bit.

Meera noticed Silence(whose name she did not yet know) looking around. She tried to smile at him, but figured it had gotten her nowhere last time. Instead, she looked to Sherbet and decided that the other foal was occupied enough that she would not be missed. Mesmira edged closer to Silence, until she was right next to him. "Hi there. What's your name? I'm Meera, and I just got here, but I'm not sure just how long I'll stay." She said the last part with an attempted carefree tone - as though she could very well leave of her own free will at any time. However, this was not the case - she wished that, just once, she could actually live somewhere. These ponies all seemed friendly and reasonable, but she bitterly remembered how her parents had been too.

Gumdrop bounced excitedly around the kitchen, her cat meowing angrily. Gumdrop seemed to forget that she didn't actually feed the cat; She just made a big mess of biscuits.

A plan? Razz considered this, but nothing came to mind. Actually, something did come to mind, but it involved Kail and it wasn't best to dwell on it or speak of it around the foals.
"All I know is that I'm feeling awfully adventurous!" he said, trying to encourage the foals' excitement. "Maybe we'll go on a treasure hunt!" He realized it had been a while since he'd gone on one himself. "I'll be needing some new stock for the store."

"You can't plan an adventure!" Gumdrop protested. "Adventures just happen out of nowhere!"

"Ohh, that's right," Razz nodded, winking at Swirl. "Out of nowhere." He was distracted then as Sky Feathers came in the room. She looked sleepy and perhaps a bit distressed, but this didn't register with Razz.
"Sky!" he said. "I got it! I got the scooter!"
Sky Feathers looked up with an amazed expression, torn from whatever thoughts had been causing her concern. She ran to the window to take a look at the new scooter.
"Wow," she said. "It's so shiny and purple!" She squinted then, looking across the street. "Um, Uncle Razz? I think there is someone in the shop."
Razz's amusement broadened. "Really?" he asked. He trotted to the window to have a look. It was so rarely he had any customers.

"What are they doing?" Sky Feathers asked.
"It looks like they're haggling with the electrician." Razzaroo laughed. He could easily see the counter through the large front window. Seeming satisfied with this, he turned back to Sky.
She was walking into the kitchen to sit at the table with the other foals. Reaching into the basket on the table, she grabbed an apple and started to eat it.

Meera couldn't help it - her ears perked up when she heard the word "scooter". She had always had a fondness for all things involving speed. Being able to manipulate the minds of ponies gave her the power to reason with herself, so she could usually talk herself out of desiring the things she knew she would never have. But after she heard about scooters, her heart always felt a pang of longing upon hearing of one - or worse, seeing one. But this couldn't stop the filly from wanting to see one every chance she got. Looking in Razz's direction, she said in a soft, timid tone, "Um, can I see the scooter?"

"Yes," said Razz, softly so as not to startle her. "It's right outside." He walked toward the front door and opened it. "See, it there. It's the one with one wheel on the curb." He smiled proudly.

When Swirl heard that Razz had a scooter, she froze. For a second her jaw dropped, then she snapped it shut. Razz is going to get himself killed. WHY is Razz going to get himself killed AFTER Kail has left? Why not while she was here? She could hug him and heal him, and since they're dating it could have been a nice destraction, and then I could have buried the scooter in the woods. Wouldn't that have been nice!
But what she said was, "Oookay. Everybody eat a nice breakfast so we can have lots of adventure energy, and if you havn't brushed your teeth or hair yet then get it done before we leave."
Swirl herself fished around in the fridge for some vanilla yogurt, then she settled in the corner slicing half an apple into it. She also sliced fruit for any of the foals that wanted it, since that was wee bit less stressful this morning then trying to supervise foals with cutlery. Over her breakfast she kept a keen eye, trying to make sure that everyone ate a few bites of something.

Karma laughed softly as she saw Swirl's aura change from surprised to concerned in the space of seconds. Poor thing. She made her way over to where Swirl was cutting up apples and began to help while leaning over to whisper to the other mare. "Don't worry, I'm a healer too. Not as good as Kail, but I can hold my own against a scooter." She gave a quick wink and nudge to the mare's shoulder in support.
~~~~~
Sherbet bounced around even more excited as Razz showed off the scooter. "I got to RIDE IT! This morning! Sky it was so much fun I can't wait until we get to go on it and we can drive around and have adventures and meet other ponies and and and..." The orange filly finally took a breath, "and it will be so much FUN!"
She danced around the small white peg who she had come to consider as being practically her sister.

How did she...oh wait, it was probably pretty obvious. Especially to someone that's glowing. A healer! And a nightlight! Well, not a nightlight, but her talents would probably go along way to helping the foals adjust to the change. I am so very very very glad she's here. Swirl felt a lot of the tension drain out of her eyes and shoulders, and she gave Karma a quick hug.
"Oh thank goodness!" she whispered back.
She raised an eyebrow at Sherbet. Riding a scooter did sound like fun, and she didn't SEEM injured or dead. But there was no way everyone within earshot would be able to ride it all at once.
"Well, I think when and for what to use the scooter is Razz's decision. Besides, we can't PLAN to use the scooter for an adventure, because adventures just happen."
