Zeke stayed as still as possible, crouched in the grass and staring at a bug. Today the young foal was a hunter! He had to wait for just the right time to make his move. If he didn't he knew he would miss. He had already tried and failed quite a few times, and it was getting late in the day. He might never be able to take his bug home as a prize if he didn't get this one! A fly landed on his ear, and he flicked it away. Oh no! The bug saw the movement, and now it was on guard. Zeke would have to wait until it calmed down and went about its business again. How did the young foal know all this? Why, good planning of course. He had spent the last two days watching hunters stalk their prey, and he now considered himself an expert on the subject. Those two days were hard too, since sometimes the hunters decided that they wanted to hunt him! But when that happened he just flew away, and found some one else to watch.

There! The bug was wandering around again, looking for food. Zeke waited, waited, waited......Now! The dark foal sprang into action, bursting out of the grass towards his prey. Unfortunately, he misjudged the distance between him and his prize. His perfectly executed spring propelled him through the air and into a tangled heap on the ground. The bug was startled into the air by this large, ungainly projectile, but soon came to land again, this time on the foal's nose. Zeke went cross-eyed, trying to see the bug. He snorted, trying to get it off, but to no avail. He glared at the offending insect. Foiled again!

What exactly had Juan told her about watching someone? That it was rude? Perhaps...but Rosalia for once didn't care. Even though the sky shone red, violent, and dark blue her eyes were attached to spying the exploits the young colt before her was having. He moved and jerked about like wild fire, ever-growing and unable to be tamed. Magnificent!

Every time he jumped and lurched himself forward Rosalia found herself holding her breath. To her it appeared that he was training. Perhaps he was a knight, or a prince! Someone strong and cunning who fit the stories Juan had told her.

'Course, the little one had no idea that the other was in hot pursuit of a mere bug.

Continuing her intent watch, Rosalia hadn't planned on leaving her hidden spot until the other left. Yet something unpredictable happened. He fell! In one fell swoop down the youngster went. Yet in one great leap off Rosalia went, galloping towards him.

Thankfully for the colt's own safety, the hero-bound filly stopped short of trampling him when she neared. "A-Are you alright?" She breathed in quick gasps as her eyes scanned over his radiant black body. Perhaps if she thought of what would run through the colt's mind at how fast someone responded to his fall maybe Rosie would have halted her hooves and just awaited him to get up. But oh no. As soon as he had fallen she was right there and other than asking if he was OK, she had no idea what else to say. How...embarrassing.

All Rosalia found herself capable of doing was standing over the rambunctious colt and awaiting an answer that would hopefully come soon. Already the cold sensation of nerves were gripping her flesh and muscles. Soon her knees would become knobby and knock up against the other. Oh, Rosie thought, if only he'd say something!

Zeke started as he heard pounding hoofbeats approaching. Somebody had seen him fall! How disgraceful. No worries though. The black colt was sure that they were rushing over to praise him for his great leap, never mind the landing.

He heard a voice, clear and piping, ask if he was okay. Of course he was okay! Devious little bug or no, he was still the victor of that match! Zeke glanced up distractedly, focused on picking himself up and glaring at the offending bug. His gaze was caught, however, by the sight before him. The first thing he noticed was a flash of red, from a luscious rose in full bloom, tucked behind a creamy yellow ear. Said ear was pricked forward in obvious distress, and the colt realized that before him was a young filly, all chocolate and cream and out of breath from her mad gallop.

Finally on his feet now, Zeke stared. He had never seen another filly before, much less one this cute! He noticed, though, that she seemed a bit nervous, almost ready to bolt, even. She twitched slightly, and Zeke finally snapped out of whatever daze he had been in, from the hard landing, or the filly before him, or both.

Zeke shook his head a bit to clear it and gave himself a quick once over. "Yeah, I'm fine," he said. "Sometimes gravity trips me up, but it will never win!" He grinned and tossed his mane, as if to prove the point.
