At the fountain.

[WingSong]

Panic? Me? At Kimono's little speech the filly's ears pricked forward. When he had finished she planted all four hooves firmly on the ground and stood tall. "I'll be fine - I can survive anything!"

She briefly thought of the newly-healed leg that she'd thought she could never break until recently, but shrugged it off and mentally told herself that the instance was totally irrelevant to what she was now thinking.

Next her mind moved on to another matter: she needed a place to stay. Sure, she'd been staying with Wing Song, but she knew it would just always be "Breezie, you're going to get yourself killed", or "It's a scooter, not a jetski". Besides, she had a feeling the mare considered it charity, and she wouldn't want that. Whatever...there must be like an inn, right? ...But wouldn't I need money for that? I know!

"I need a job", Breezie blurted out, feeling as though the somewhat sudden comment would seem totally justified to others.

[Whispering Wind]

"Oh my ... what is this madness?" Standing on a branch, Sonic lost his balance. A thin branch broke, and the teen landed on the ground. Ouch. Sonic forced himself not to show any sign of weakness, raised at once and stared right at Breezie. He did not know what to say really.
"Is this sneezing fatal, you say?" He kicked the ground uncertainly. "Uh - how do you know the world's gonna end?"

[Angel624]

The purple pegasus noticed Breezie and Ice Crystal glance at her. She looked around and noticed the others didn't hear what she had said, or they probably did, but they just weren't saying anything...

"Arguing? No - but we definitely aren't alright! The world's gonna end! And you should be inside, so hop to it!"

The purple pegasus gave Breezie a bit of a glare. "Well you don't need to be rude about it." Said Angel. "But fine, if you want me to leave, I will then." So the pegasus flew away and left them to their misery.

[WingSong]

The filly watched the pegasus fly away in a huff, and looked confused before calling after her, "It's for your own protection!"

Then Breezie turned to Sonic. "Hey - I know you!", she said happily, not realizing that she'd been the one to pass off the deadly illness to him. Then she went on, "Well, he says it's fatal-" She gestured to Kimono. "-but I think we'll be OK. And...I'm not so sure about the world ending anymore. But wouldn't that be interesting?" Throughout the whole response she was obviously very excited, and was too confident to be worried about anything anymore.

[Ice Crystal]

"How amazing," Ice Crystal commented of the Champions. "It would certainly be refreshing were they still nearby."

He was very interested in learning more of these chosen-by-the-Rainbow-of-Light ponies, but refrained from actively requesting more information. Luckily, he temporarily neglected his suggestion of possibly seeking out these enigmatic creatures, as not to impose on his new associates. Regardless, he maintained what curiosities that stemmed from Kimono's answer.

He quickly backed away from the recently grounded Sonic. Cocking his head to a side, he glanced at the branch by which he fell. He was then momentarily distracted by the white pony.

I'm not so sure about the world ending anymore. But wouldn't that be interesting?

"Interesting, perhaps, but hopefully unlikely."

[Jewel]

"Well, he says it's fatal-"

Kimono flattened his ears a moment, then calmly but sincerely replied, "I did not say it was fatal, just that it might be, or that it's something serious either way."

Despite his usually patient, quiet nature, Kimono was feeling less like himself due to his apparent illness. Thus, his patience was growing thin and the pain in his head was amplifying under the stress. Social situations weren't his forte, anyway..

"How amazing," Ice Crystal commented of the Champions. "It would certainly be refreshing were they still nearby."

"Before I nodded off over there," The purple stallion said, pointing to a bench not far away, "I had planned to see the Champs off.. one of my friends will be bidding goodbye to his love, and she is one I know as well," He paused to look downcast and sniffle, twitching his nose slightly, then raised his gaze again to Ice Crystal, "I'm probably off to find them now, to wish them well.. last I heard it was via balloon. You're welcome to join me, if you'd like to."

[Whis]

"I'm not so sure about the world ending anymore. But wouldn't that be interesting?"

"Interesting, perhaps, but hopefully unlikely."

Sonic raised an eyebrow. Now that's ridiculous. He decided not to answer. Casually looking around, he wondered where the peg had gone to. Anyone in their right sense would understand hat Breezie was just being ... herself. Turning back to the excited kid, he said:
"Have we been introduced? I'm Supersonic."

[WingSong]

Feeling as though there were too many adults here that were more sensible than her, Breezie chose to ignore Kimono and Ice Crystal for the time being.

"Have we been introduced? I'm Supersonic."

"Um...I don't remember... But I'm Breezie! There - now we have been." She stopped talking at that and just looked around in all directions, feeling bored and letting her eyes settle on the trees as she wondered how long it would take to learn to talk to squirrels.

[Whispering Wind]

Sonic smiled. Breezie was weird. But in his heart, he did not dislike her that much. He leaned toward the fountain, and put his hoof into its cool water.
"Fine day, actually. It would be a shame to spend it indoors." He eyed the white filly curiously. His voice did contain some cheerful sarcasm, as he thought about Breezie's Judgement Day Prediction.

[WingSong]

"Oh..." The filly frowned at Sonic's comment. "...Right..."

Then she perked up again when she was struck by a thought. "Oh, but I'm gonna be out here to warn all the ponies in town! Besides - I'm probably already contaminated." She said the last statement in a tone as though she was bragging that she was infected with a horrible illness.

[Whispering Wind]

"Since when?" Sonic asked, hiding his fear behind a face of casual interest. He thought about that pizza they shared. Trouble used to light a heroic flame inside him, but he was not very fond of toying with the thoughts of Doom.

[WingSong]

Breezie did not realize what Sonic was trying to find out with his question, and answered with an equally casual tone, "I dunno. I did run into that pony that time, and she sneezed on me...gross. Anyway, I think she was the first sick pony I saw. And that was...a week ago or something. Maybe a few days before I ran into you and Nova."

[Whispering Wind]

Sonic was good at wearing masks, but this time he wasn't sure he was very successful.
"Oh." His jaw dropped slightly, though he did not notice. He was scared that he would sneeze any second now...
Hastily, he removed his hoof from the water and made sure that he stood at least four feet away from Breezie. But he already did, so he was pleased not having to act impolite.
"So, has there been any symptoms other than sneezing? 'Cause really, what if it is a cold?" He made it sound as if he told the kid not to worry. But indeed, he was the one who worried.

[WingSong]

"That's right - just the sneezing, coughing, and itchy eyes." Although she'd tacked on two other symptoms, Breezie seemed to think that she was confirming what Sonic had said.

After rubbing her eyes, which had started to bother her after she'd commented on them, she looked back at Sonic and stared for a moment. "Wait a minute - are you sick?"

[Whis]

"I ... I dunno..." To tell the truth, Sonic could not remember that ha had ever been sick. Although it may sound a bit hypochondriac, he could almost feel his eyes itch now. "Do you think I am?" He asked in a lower voice.
