“Mom, can I go play with ember?” Beauty asked. Midnight picked up her head. “Not right now” midnight said. “Why?” She asked. “Because, you were sick, and still need to recover a bit” midnight explained. Beauty let out a huff. “Fine” she said. “Why don’t you just go see if ember can come over?” She asked. Beauty shook her head. “No, i can wait” beauty said. Midnight nodded. “Are you sure?” She asked. Beauty nodded. “Yea, I’m sure” midnight nodded and continued grazing. She watched nutmeg come over a little while later and then she herd her sisters voice. Midnight didn’t exactly know what to say to her sister, after all, she had just wanted to comfort her, but twilight pushed her away. Midnight flicked her tail across her back and barley raised her head. “Hm?” She muttered through a mouth full of grass

Twilight's ears pinned slightly as she came up beside her sister, then drooped her head. "I'm sorry, I know i was harsh. I was just so worried for Beauty, and Nutmeg, and you and Nighstar... I didn't mean to push you away" she said quietly.

“I just wanted to comfort you” Midnight mumbled. “It was my fault, I wanted to comfort you, but in the process, I put myself at risk. If I got sick, Nightstar could’ve died.” She said. “I’m so sorry Twily” she said. “But…I couldnt just watch my filly lay there helplessly. I know you were taking care of her, but if she died…I don’t know what I would’ve done” midnight mumbled. “Her twin died…if she died too….” Midnight stopped and just hugged twilight. “Im sorry to dump all this on you” she muttered.

Twilight gave a big sigh and returned her sister's hug "No, i understand, I wouldn't wanted to leave Nutmeg, and if it had been you over there with beauty, i would've wanted to be beside you" she admitted. "It's ok, I understand." she repeated, hugging her harder "And you know you can always tell me anything. I don't want any secrets between us, not ever"

“I…I know” midnight said. “But..I think I might’ve been there to long” she said, starting to loose her balance. “Im not feeling good.” Midnight fell to the ground. “Twilight…no” she muttered. “I can’t get sick…I can’t be sick…no” she muttered. “I can’t..” good thing is, midnight wasn’t sweating, she was just feeling dizzy. “Dizzy” she mumbled. “I feel dizzy” she pressed herself against twilight until the dizziness left, she stood up again and began grazing. “Did I get sick?” She asked.

Twilight's eyes widened and she whinnied for Rusty, who came at a gallop. Letting her sister lean against her, she nuzzled her "I'm sure you didn't, it's probably just from running a bunch" she said, looking up as Rusty cantered over. "What's wrong?" he asked, taking a look at their faces. "Midnight's feeling dizzy" Twilight said, worry in her eyes. He nodded "I'll go get more herbs, just to be on the safe side, even if it is just exhaustion" he said, racing off.

(nothing's wrong, she's just really tired.)
Midnight nodded, starting to lay down as her belly became full. She yawned and looked at Twilight. "do you think i'm ok?" she asked, watching as Rusty came galloping back up with a bunch of herbs in his mouth. Midnight looked at him. "is there a chance I'm sick?" she asked. "or am I just very tired?" she added into the question.

Twilight nuzzled her and quickly lay down beside her as they waited for Rusty. "I think you're probably just over tired from that run you went on, but we'll see" she said reassuringly. Rusty put his nose against her forehead, then belly "Well you don't feel feverish... i'm going to guess you're just tired out, like Twilight said. I grabbed some good herbs for you anyway though, you just need to chew them and swallow. They're a bit bitter." he said

"will they be ok for Nightstar?" she asked Rusty. "If they aren't good for her, then I won't eat them" Midnight muttered. "I don't want to harm my filly in any way" she said, sniffing at the herbs. The smelled ok, but she didn't want to eat it unless they were ok for Nightstar as well. Midnight knew that Rusty wouldn't give her anything that wouldn't be good for Nightstar, but she wanted to check just to be sure

Rusty smiled reassuringly "No, and i double checked with Starlight as well. These are all perfectly safe for you and Nighstar" he said.

Midnight nodded and ate up the herbs, she soon became more tired and she yawned, closing her eyes and falling asleep. Specks was keeping an eye on his daughters when Beauty came trotting up to him. "Can I go play with Ember now?" Beauty asked. Specks looked over at Midnight, who was sleeping soundly beside Twilight. "alright" Specks said. Beauty smiled. "YAY!" She squealed, hugging her father. "thanks Dad!" She galloped to where she left her friends, coming up behind Ember and tagging her. "tag!" she squealed. "You're it!" Ember whipped her head around. "BEAUTY!!" She neighed happily. "Guys, Beauty's back!" She said. "We're playing tag!" Ember said, instantly tagging her brother. "Harvest is it now!" Ember neighed. Harvest smiled and got to his feet, preparing to chase after Beauty, he started for her, then turned and charged towards Echo.

Twilight smiled and nuzzled her sister, glancing up as Rusty moved off to continue grazing a ways away.
Nutmeg awoke groggily as she heard Beauty's excited voice, shifting over as she left and slumping against Stardust, falling asleep once more.
Aspen looked up as Beauty came racing over, suddenly staring a game of tag. Darak leapt to his hooves and joined in the fun, while she stood up, watching with a slight frown. If Beauty was back, why wasn't Nutmeg? Echo stopped pacing, as he had been for the last hour, and turned as Beauty came racing up, also frowning. Seeing Harvest swerve towards him, he pivoted, avoiding the young stallion. "Where's Nutmeg?" he asked in a serious, worried tone.

Beauty skidded to a stop, and looked at Echo. Why did he care where her cousin was. "sleeping" Beauty answered simply. "why?" she asked. Secretly, Beauty knew he had a crush on her cousin, but she wanted to see what he would do, and secretly, Beauty had a crush on Harvest, she just hoped he felt the same way. Beauty watched as Harvest raced after Aspen. "seriously, why do you care where my cousin is?" she asked. "she's my cousin, you're just her friend" Beauty said, glancing around to see if Harvest was coming towards her, good, he wasn't.
Stardust nuzzled her youngest cousin and curled around her keeping her warm. "You will make a good mother one day" Specks said to his oldest daughter, noticing how she was curled around her youngest cousin to keep her warm, he then bent his head and began grazing. Stardust blushed slightly and nuzzled Nutmeg again

Echo frowned again. Sleeping? Nutmeg didn't sleep for no reason, and she hadn't seemed very well when her uncle had taken her back to her family. He blinked slightly at her question as she repeated it. "Well for the reason you say, she's our friend, and she didn't look well when she left" he answered, his deep voice calm and measured. "I believe Aspen is worried as well" he added, glancing over as Aspen annoyedly bucked in Harvest's direction "Go chase Darak" she said shortly, then trotted over to the two. "Yeah, is she ok?" Aspen echoed Echo's question.
Nutmeg smiled in her sleep as she felt warmth surrounding her, safety.

Beauty felt her ears flatten. All these questions...how would she answer them. "Uh...." Beauty stuttered. She looked around hopefully, soon seeing Songbird, she tried rasing her voice so Songbird would come save her tail. "Uh....Nutmeg...she...uh..." Beauty said as loudly as she could. She looked over at her older cousin, trying to make eye contact. Please Songbird. Beauty thought. I need your help. She glanced over at her cousin again, almost begging her to come save her tail. Beauty sighed slightly. How would she get them off her tail. She had two horses asking her all these questions she didn't know how to answer. PLEASE SONGBIRD. Beauty begged in her head. Would Songbird hear her? "uhm..." Beauty stuttered again, glancing over at her cousin once more
