Honoulu Loo was still very tired from the campout adventure. She sat on the floor at the nursery, drawing. She yawned. She laid the black pencil down, and picked up the white and the yellow one.

[Oh, I guess it´s OK to post Whis in here, since she was stamped before she went to BI. And that would turn out well, as I cannot think of a place she´d rather go.]
Someone knocked on the door, then opened it slowly. "Hello?" A green eye peeked inside, and a purple unicorn stumbled in. She had a brand new scarf around her neck and looked around with wary. Has nobody been missing me? This was crazy. Whisper had been gone for months.
[Thinking of it...we jumped from summer to spring?! OMG]

Meera walked into the room, feeling a bit out of place. She'd been here about a day now, but...all these kids around was strange. Spotting Loo, she headed over in her direction without a word, and looked over her shoulder to try and see what she was drawing. She'd rather stay unnoticed - she prefered just watching things from the sidelines anyway...
When there was a knock at the door, the filly made a move to back up, but ended up scooting a foreleg the wrong way and falling into Loo. So much for going unnoticed... "Sorry...", she mumbled shyly. She didn't respond to the strange unicorn that had entered. Instead she eyed her critically and asked, "Who are you?"
((Oh, that'll make poor Whis feel loved...))

Loo had drawn two ponies on her paper when Meera stumbled into her.
"Sorry..."
Honoulu winked with a bitter look on her face. With a sigh she said: "It´s ok. I did not hold the pencil over he paper when you pushed me." She returned to her picture, giving the big pony a pair of big, white, dove-like wings. On the small pony, she drew a set of small, yellow wings. She got a red crayon, and started to draw a symbol for the little pegasus.
***
"Who are you?"
The unicorn breathed heavily. The corner of her mouth pointed downwards. It was still tough for the teen to get critism, even from a younger pony. Her sad time in school had left deep scars in her soul, and they were not healed yet. "Whisper. Is...is Kailani there?" She waited for the answer. It had been a long way from the tropical island to the nursery.

"I...don't think so..." Meera looked to Loo for help, noticing that she seemed to be drawing her self, with...someone else.

[OOC: Aww, you know Applejack missed Whisper. And yay for Whis being back from the Island. Wow I didn't realize she'd been gone that long either. Someone had to have missed her. Well other than Apple.]

Honoulu looked up from her drawing. "Kail?" She looked as if she was going to say something, but then shook her little head. "I ahve not seen her scince we left he nursery to go camping."
***
Whisper frowned. Aha...and when was that? She shrugged inwardly. Kids could not really see things from other ponies' point of view. She gto inside and closed the door behind herself. "Is Razzaroo there, then? Or..." she fought to remember the mare's name. "...Sister Strawberry?" Whis rised a hoof to put it at her neck. Where had everyone gone to?
[Hmm...has Razz left to find the Champions in this thread? Help?]

Gumdrop lay on the floor of the nursery and stared at the ceiling. She was deep in thought about all the new foals that had been taken in. She thought back to when she only had to share Razz and Kail with Sky Feathers, Sherbert, Charm and Harvest Moon. It made her wish that she had her own two parents. But as each month passed her only memories of her parents faded more and more... Come to think of it, she didn't remember her father at all. And all that she remembered of her mother was as she lay dying in the snow, and although Gumdrop didn't understand death just yet, it still made her ache inside.
Sometimes Gumdrop only felt like Silence would understand what she had been through, though it was clear that what had happened to him had been far worse. Gumdrop suddenly felt much older than the other foals. Purple wandered over to Gumdrop and started to lick her hoof. Gumdrop scratched her behind the ear thoughtfully, and hoped that soon she would be out of this mood and back to her normal cheery self.

Still waitng for a reply, Whisper Wind sat down on the floor. If none of the grown up were around, it would be strange... She peeked over at the little pegasus nearby, who was deeply concentrated. Whisper Wind loved to draw, it was her greatest interest. Loo's drawing was very neat and colorful. Very childish, but in a positive way. And cute... One of the pegs on the picture seemd to be herself. Who was the big one? She decided not to ask the filly. She knew that there was nursery kids who had lost their families.
***
As for the big peg's symbol, Honoulu drew four diamonds. She was deep in thought. Picking up the red crayon, Loo gave her a streak in the tail. 'Cause there was no deep pink crayon.

Raposa walked into the nursery cheerily yet cautiously. She'd never seen this place before. And as much as she wanted to thouroughly explore every nook and cranny of this new building, she didn't want to look so out of place. No one else seemed to be all to interested in going on another adventure. They all just... sat there. Something that an energetic pony like herself didn't do all too often.
Still feeling a little awkward at the sight of such calm, she trotted over to the nearest group of ponies. One that she recognised as "Loo" was drawing on a peice of paper. Curious, she went closer. It really was a beautiful picture. One looked just like its artist. The other she didn't recognise.
"Who's that?" Raposa said in awe to Loo (she really likes that drawing ;D), completely oblivious to the reason why the majority of the fillies were at the nursery in the first place.

Meera turned to Whis. "I don't know. They've been gone, and...I don' t think anyone knows." Feeling that the matter had been resolved, she joined Raposa in looking at Loo's drawing again. After a long pause, she asked quietly, "...Where're you from, Loo?" ((Whis, I'm not trying to be harsh. I'm just trying to play up the "nobody misses me" drama. ))

"Who's that?" Loo woke up from her daydreams and looked shyly up at raposa. Her eyes seeemed to be filled with slight fear. "It is...uhm..." She looked down at the floor. " My sister."...Where're you from, Loo?""From Ponyville." Honoulu tossed her mane. It was a simlpe answer, but foals are not really known to be complicated. *** [[It is OK, Wing Song. It's RP after all ]] "I don't know. They've been gone, and...I don' t think anyone knows."As Meera turned away from her again, Whis gave up. She was so sure that someone would appear soon. Then a weird thought struck her. What if Kail, Razzaroo and Swirl were...gone? In that case, she had to take the responsebility over the foals. The youngster almost fainted. Geez, I've got three siblings their age at home. And...I do not even seem wanted here. No. They must come back soon. Whisper Wind decided to wait in the room until any adult came there. She hoped that they would hurry. She could not, in any possible way, take care of all those kids.

"Wow, a sister?" Raposa said jealously, "I wish I had a sister..." She trailed off, stuck deep in a daydream. She swayed side-to-side as she dreamed...
A smaller pony trotted along beside her. The two were walking through the clouds, her old home. Suddenly, the infant pony was no longer trailing her. Dark figures appeared all around her... She was falling...
Raposa shook herself from the dream. Wether real or just imaginary, she didn't ever want to see that again. She turned back to Loo's drawing.
"Where is she now?" she asked, gesturing widely at Loo's sister.

"I don't know," Loo replied sadly. "She told mommy and daddy that she was going out. I know that she was on the beach..." She leaned forward and moved the crayon over the paper again, "...Because we found her ribbon." When Honoulu lifted her hoof once again, a big purple ribbon was to be seen in her sisters' mane. She sighed. The parents had not had any chance to go looking for her - next evening, they were killed.
Whisper Wind really understood that Honoulu was sad. She could see it in her eyes, and she herd it too. Slowly, she had been moving closer to the filly. Pain struck her as she told Raposa about her sisters' destiny. How sad. When the little peg twitched, she put an comforting hoof around her. Whis opened her mouth as if to say something, but when Loo looked up at her, she realized that she was out of words. Without a word Honoulu Loo threw her arms around Whisper Wind's neck. The unicorn returned her hug, thoguh she was feeling a bit uneasy.
When Loo had calmed down a bit, she got some paper and started to draw too. Honoulu sat by Whis side. She did not want to draw anymore, but she quietly observed what the unicorn did. Of course, Whis started to draw a doe. As usual. Loo watched in awe. "How pretty." Whis looked up. "Thank you." She smiled at the foal. Glancing over at Loo's picture, Whis said: "Oh. Did you really draw that?" The pegasus nodded. "It's gorgeous! So many nice colors you have used!" Whisper looked down at Loo with her big green eyes. She slowly returned to her deer. "You know what? When I'm done with this, you can get the picture." She smiled friendly. Loo gave a bright smile. She felt better now.

"Jeez... Two artists in one day... How awesome!" Raposa rambled, hiding her guilt. She was glad that the subject had been changed from that of sisters. It would be horrible to make Loo upset again. She hadn't meant it.
She turned her attention to Whis' deer. "You're both really good... Are you two related?" Raposa kicked herself inwardly. She'd brought up that whole family subject again. They probably weren't sisters anyway. "Nevermind" she mumbled, waving it off like the pesky fly it was turning out to be.
"So..." she looked at Meera, "Do you draw, too?"
