Sparkleberry Swirl arrives...

[Marshmallow Cocoa]

Looking through a window, Sparkleberry Swirl stood outside the nursery. The pink filly debated on whether or not to go inside. The place looked friendly, and she could tell that other foals lived there, and it did say “Nnn-urrrr-sirrr-reee.” She sighed softly. Although she was normally confident in herself, she was down-right scared. After all, there could be monsters in there!

She closed her eyes and pictured what her life could be like if she lived on the streets with no where to go. She could get a job, but then again…who would hire her?

“Who would hire me? I’m only 6 for heaven’s sake!” she thought aloud.

Living in here seemed to be her only choice. Gathering up all her courage, Sparkleberry Swirl stepped inside.

Once inside, she let out a deep sigh of relief. No monsters had gotten her…yet.

“He-hello?” she said not too loudly, monsters could be hiding somewhere still.

Treat play galloped towards the little Sparkleberry, like he was a pony pretending to be a horse pretending to gallop.

"Hey hey Glii....oop." It was a little pink filly, not a little purple one. In fact, Treat had no idea who this was. She looked a little relieved, but still wary. Could she be new here? Another orphan? Poor thing, how overwhelming. But didn't Kail, and possibly Swirl (but whatever, Kail's the amazing one) handle this all the time? What would she do?

For a few seconds Treat stood frozen by his thoughts. He'd played with the foals many a time, and he'd helped gather the injured and needy after the battle with the gods. But welcome a new baby in all on his own? Were there formalities to follow?

Well, maybe she wasn't new. And in theory he'd received the same training as Sister Strawberry Swirl, if not the same life experiences.

"Hi sugar, we were just finishing breakfast, " he knelt down to her level and gave her a friendly nudge with his muzzle. "I'm Triple Treat, what's your name?"

(hehe, WWKD? ^_^ *smooshes Treat*)

Sparkleberry Swirl jumped and gasped.

So there were monsters here!

She ducked and covered her eyes. After she heard the stranger introduce himself, she realized it was no monster. She perked up and stood up straight. She should be a good girl and answer his question.

"I am Sparkleberry Swirl. I am 6," she said with more pride and confidence than a pony twice her size.

(ack, this is my third time trying to write this)

Treat grinned, this wasn't the first confident little thing he'd met at the nursery. "My Sister is a Swirl, too. Can I help you with anything Miss Sparkleberry Swirl?"

[Marshmallow Cocoa]

Sparkleberry Swirl smiled at Triple Treat; he seemed nice.

She looked around again before saying, "Are there any monsters here and if there aren't, may I live here?"

White and green hair had fallen into purple eyes and Charm found she couldn’t see who was talking. Brushing the unruly locks from her face she smiled brightly at the older filly. Someone new to play with, how grand. Maybe Silence would even like her. Although she had to admit she hoped not too much. Wiggling out of Treat’s hold she landed on the floor, amazingly on her hooves.

"I'm Charm." The dark green pegasus announced for once forgetting to be leery of strangers.

Although she knew that wasn't right. She had another part to her name too. Not that anyone used it. Did anyone even remember it? Charm couldn't remember it herself. Shrugging it off she put the thought from her mind and looked over the newcomer.

Sparkleberry Swirl had said monsters. What kind? Charm stopped where she was and looked nervously about. What if one had followed Sparkleberry? What if it was one of those beasts from the woods? Her heart began to race. Backing into Treat's front legs she looked up relieved to find that he was still there. He wouldn't let those nasty things get them. Charm was quite certain of that. But what if one did show up? Would it hurt him if he tried to stop it?

[Marshmallow Cocoa]

"Hi, Charm," Sparkleberry Swirl said cheerfully, "I'm Sparkleberry Swirl. I am 6. How old are you?"

[LNS]

Glancing at Treat she wondered if he knew how old she was was. Someone had said the other day how old she was, or rather guessed how old she was since no one could really say for certain.

Charm smiled brightly as she answered, “I’m five months old.”

Sure she wasn’t that old, but hey she wasn’t a newborn anymore either. Sure she couldn't do all the things the older kids could, at least not yet. But one day she’d get to do all those fun things too.

[LNS]

Charm wiggled as a smile crept over her face. Maybe this newcomer would like to play a game. Maybe go fish or hide and go seek. Or maybe she'd help to build a castle out of blocks.

"Wanna play a game?" The young pegasus asked.
