 The sun rose over the horizon tinting the Earth a fiery pink color. The light and warmth spread over the land landing on the sleeping face of a small filly. Brown eyes opened with a flash and began to blink in the early morning light. She gave her head a toss to straighten out her rose colored mane before yawning loudly.
"Hey...it's morning!" She said suddenly, jumping up onto her feet. Her legs wobbled uneasily and she stumbled but didn't fall. With a smile she looked down to the sleeping stallion not far from her. "I'm gonna go now dad, kay, bye!" She said quickly not caring if she was heard or not. In fact it would be better if she wasn't heard. With a quick flick of her tail she took off her tiny hooves kicking up a trail of dust.
Once she felt she was moving fast enough she spread her wings and shut her eyes. It felt like she was flying even though she felt every step she took against the ground. "WOOOHOOO!!!" She called out into the chill of the early morning. Even if it was only pretending it was still a thrill.

 He was up before the sun had even risen into the dark oblivion of night, his own ebony coat made him look like a shadow against the dark trees behind him. The only thing that kept him from completely vanished was the pastel colors from his mother's side of his family. Stopping the stallion turned his head toward the brightening horizons. Eton smiles lightly toward the sun, though he barely moved at the moment.
Shaking his head slightly, he turned away from the trees and head out more into the open, it was to be a nice day and he was going to enjoy it. Or at least try to, other good days weren't enjoyed as much with an annoying sibling around, though he didn't really think about it too often. Finding a good place to get breakfast, he lowered his head to the ground and started earing. It wasn't long before something caught his attention. A streak of something was coming toward his position. Raising his head some, his cotton candy colored mane and tail moving slightly as he turned toward the streak. It wasn't until the streak was close enough did he notice that it was a little winged foal.
"Hey now..." He called out rearing up slightly so that the foal wouldn't have run into him, his own wings fanning out at his sides to keep him steady. "Fast little tyke." He muttered settling down again, shaking his head slightly.

Chocolate brown eyes opened and a puzzled look fell onto the foals face as she heard someone else speaking. She gasped as she realized said voice was coming from directly in front of her. Her jaw dropped and her eyes widened to unbelievable sizes before she veered off to the side to avoid him narrowly. The quick turn caused the little filly to lose her balance and she tumbled to the ground a few feet away from the primarily black stallion.
"Owww...that really hurt..."she muttered letting her head sway from side to side not caring to hold it steady. "You really scared me you know!" She said to the older soquili her face taking on an angry pout as she started to push herself back to her feet.

Folding his wings to his sides, Eton stepped over toward the foal and nudged her gently, hoping that nothing was broken. Before straightening up and looking around as if looking to see if her parents were around. Sighting nothing, but grass and trees within the dawn, Eton looked back toward the foal.
"Might want to try running with your eyes open next time?" he asked tilting his head to one side a little. "Might be able to see what you are doing and where your going so things don't scare you as much?"
Lowering his head down to the foal's eye level, he had contemplated on just laying down as to not hurt his neck from remaining in such a position. He had noticed that she had smaller versions of wings then his now, he remembered having small wings like them and they weren't that fun unless trying to scare someone away.
"You alright little one?" he asked finally, though it was a little late...

Carmine squeaked in surprise as he nudged her but she managed to turn it into a small laugh . "If I had my eyes open I couldn't fly." She said as though it were the most obvious thing in the world. She had been told several times not to run blindly by her father's friend Lunathiel but she loved feeling the rush of the wind so much. The illusion of flight was not nearly as strong with her eyes wide open. "Mostly things just get outta my way so I don't smack right inta them."
She fluttered her wings a few times and picked each of her feet up checking for damage. Nothing seemed broken, well nothing but her stride. She opened her mouth to let him no this when her stomach growled. She dipped her head down to look at her stomach and smiled.
Tossing her head she straightened up and stood as tall as she could stretching her neck way out. "Iiiiiii'm hungry!" she announced a big grin on her face. She gave him a look as though telling him 'do something about it'.

Eton tilted his head to one side as she spoke of not being able to 'fly' with her eyes open. He didn't have much trouble with it, and he wasn't too much older then the filly herself. A month maybe, maybe a little more? He didn't rightly know. Shaking his head he watched the little filly before him.
"Well some things don't move, so best keep the eyes open and let the mind do the imagining the flying." He nodded, "It's what I did when I was yout age."
Though this new outburst of being hungry took him back some. What was he supposed to do about it? It wasn't like he was a mare or something, but then again, he didn't even want to thing about that... Shaking his head again, Eton watched the filly as if he didn't know what to do.
"What do you like to eat?" he asked looking around for some berries or something besides grass. This was starting to make his head hurt and he had only met the filly, oh he was never going to be a good father at this rate...

Carmine laughed and shook her head like the stallion was horribly mistaken. "Everything moves if you hit it hard enough." She said cheerfully. It was true but normally if things weren't moving it was her dad that would make them move and he was more then twice her size. "And, if you have your eyes open you get bugs in them. That would be bad." She nodded firmly before her stomach growled again.
"This and that. I just eat whatever my dad gets me." She looked around the area a bit curiously wondering if any of the same things were around. There was a lot of grass which was a pretty stable part of her diet along with her mom's milk when she could get it but she couldn't see anything that looked like what her dad had sometimes given her. "There were these little white things and kinda big red things that he gets me. I like those."
Inside she was laughing at him. He seemed so very confused. She liked the company of others but they always seemed to act so strange just because she was younger. It was so much fun to use it to her advantage.

He watched the foal as she spoke of things that she liked to eat, or rather that she was given to eat. Little white things? What the heck were those supposed to be? Shaking his head, letting his mane wave just a bit he looked around, there had to be something that the foal would eat and not make a fuss. Though there was the conversation about the running with the eyes closed.
"So trees move when you are running?" He asked coyishly smiling to himself. "Or bramble bushes for that matter? Most things don't move out of the way like we want them to ya know."
Stepping off to the side he headed off toward the edge of the clearing, stopping he raised his muzzle into the air a little. His nostrils flaring a little he looked off toward who knows what, before turning a pastel eye back toward the foal, wondering if she were willing to follow him for something to eat.
"There aren't really that many bugs down here, wait until you are up there," Gestures toward the skies with a wing tip. "Then you'll be in bug city. Anyways, if you are hungry, you can follow me and I can get you something. There's an apple tree close by. If that will satisfy your hunger." He inquired turning an ear toward the foal.

Her little tan face scrunched up in annoyance. Everything moved. Perhaps not at first but with a few good kicks even normally inanimate objects would move. There seemed to be no convincing the other of this at least not without proof and she had none of that. Instead she simply rolled her eyes and tossed her nose into the air with a huff. "Shows what you know..." She said not really paying attention to what he had to say about bugs. He was wrong about the trees, why would he be right about the bugs?
"Apple?" The word caught her attention and stopped her little stubborn show. It sounded so familiar. Why did that word sound so familiar? Planting her feet firmly she narrowed her eyes and focused her mind trying to track the word down in her memory. "Apple...apple...apple...oh!" Her eyes widened as it finally clicked and she bounced into the air. "You mean those big red things?! Those are yummy!"
With a big smile she stepped around the stallion to stand directly by his side. "What're we waiting for? I'm hungry!" She insisted nudging at his side impatiently. Her stomach was not going to wait any longer for food. She could always get back here later and if she was gone to long her dad would come to find her. There was nothing to worry about and there was food waiting.

Well now we were getting somewhere, he thought as the filly came over beside him. Though the nudging was a bit over doing it to him. He could tell that she was indeed hungry, then again, who wasn't these days? A chuckle came from his as she called apples, 'big red things'. Well of course, turning back the way he was going, Eton pushed through the branches ad head off to where he knew was a tree.
"Yea, those. They are quite tasty this early in the year aren't they?" He asked looking back at the filly as he walked, minding to not go too fast that she couldn't keep up. "She what's your name? Mine's Eton." He finally announced.
Pushing through another few lines of trees and into another clearing, he looked upon a tree that was filled with 'big red things' as the filly has called them. The thought always made him chuckle to himself. Now even his stomach was growling, well as long as he was here, he might as well eat a few himself. Stopping just about under the tree, he looked up at the high branches that were bending slightly from the weight of the fruit.
"Well here we are," He snickered lightly before turning and kicking the tree to make a few apples drop to the ground. Some of the branches bending back upright with their loads gone... For now...

She followed after him closely her head whipping back and forth as she tried to take in every sight around her. Her little ears swiveled back as he spoke but her head continued to move. If not for her ears one could have thought she wasn't listening. Early this year? Somehow it caught her attention. She didn't know what that meant. What was a year and why was fruit better early in it? She would have to bother her dad about it later.
"I'm Carmine!" She exclaimed proudly putting the question in her mind to rest until a later time. "Great name, huh?" She turned her full attention to Eton at that point waiting the praise that always came.
Her wait was short, however, when a large tree covered with beautiful apples came into view. Brown eyes became unbelievable wide and her jaw dropped. "Woah-ho-ho! Lotsa red things!" Her wings beat against her side excitedly before racing over to join the black stallion by the tree. She watched extremely eager as he kicked the tree and sent a few apples raining to the ground.
Without a seconds wait she bent down and snatched one of the lovely red fruits up. She smiled as the wonderful sweet taste filled her mouth. "Thanks!" She said swallowing the first bite before dipping her head to get another. It felt great to have food in her belly again.

Having turned his head toward the small filly he watched her for a moment as she had spoken her name to him, but he made no comment as of yet as he watched her eat before looking back toward the tree tops. Wings opening he lifted himself off the ground and reached out slightly, she reached for an apple which he pluck from where it hung and ate it pretty much right there in the air before sifting to another side and taking another before he returned to the ground and folded his wings to his sides, watching the filly once more.
"It is a cute name, I've never heard one like it before." Eton admitted tilting his head to one side a little. "Have you had enough? Or would you like more?" he asked turning a pastel eye toward the still loaded tree. "Maybe you would like to take some home to your parents?"

"It's some kind of red." She said proudly. She liked her name. It was special to her and she looked forward to the day that her name was well known and was being said by everyone. "Like my butterfly!" She puffed her chest out to display the red pattern on it. She beamed for a moment bent to sniff at a piece of apple she hadn't yet scarfed down. Her stomach rumbled unhappily at the thought of her trying to cram more into it and she straightened. "Nah...I'm not real hungry 'nymore." She nudged the bit of uneaten apple with a foot.
"And...I don't think that'd be to smart. My dad doesn't really stick to anyone place and my mom's home's kinda far away." She shrugged and smiled up at Eton. "So...now what?" she asked hoping that he had something fun to do now. She was fine to be out until it started to get to warm. Then she knew her dad would come looking for her.
