 Punk Rhapsody happily trotted alongside his brother, Concerto Dubarra, looking around at the increasing amount of green around them. Even though it was greener than the desert their Grandpa Punk lived in, the plains didn't have the ample supply of trees that this area had. "So, what are we looking for again?" he asked casually, having already forgotten whatever his brother had been so intrigued by. It was odd for Concerto to be visibly excited, so Rhapsody came along, but... he couldn't say he was really interested.  "Harmony, look at this!" Tea Bell's wide green eyes were only inches away from an herb, a silly grin on her face. "I bet I could make some great medicine with this!" She lifted her head to look up at her older sister. "What do you think?" There was no guarantee Tea would get the answer she wanted, but she asked anyway. It was polite. And having a few screws loose wasn't an excuse to be impolite.  "Where are we going, Arsul?" Zuri asked, confused as to why she was being dragged along on his adventuring. Well, she guessed it was a welcome change; he usually went off on his own. To where, she had no idea. She was content to quietly observe the world around her.

 Concerto glanced over at Rhapsody. "We're looking for these weird yellow fruits. I heard that they're edible," Concerto answered to Rhapsody's forgetful question. "They're called bananas." Concerto kept trotting along, not paying attention to whether Rhapsody was keeping up or not.  Harmony, uninterested by Tea's obsession with herbs, was annoyed by being dragged along on this excursion, but she wasn't willing to show it. "I'm sure that you'll make some great medicine with it," Harmony answered enthusiastically, but without really meaning it. It was hard being the peaceful oldest sister, but Harmony didn't want to fight with her sister, even if it meant faking what she really felt.

 Roman grinned over at his brother. "Remus, Daki, c'mon, I'll fly up there and knock a bunch down. I wanna try. Jane says that her mama talks about them all the time, and how good they are." He said, fluttering his wings and heading to the tops of the branches where the long yellow fruits were.  Arsul looked back at his sister, his clear eyes regarding her and her question carefully before turning to look in front and at where they were heading. "I 'unno." He murmured as he continued trotting, until a grove of trees came into view not far ahead.  Jane grinned and looked back at her sister, her short tight curls bouncing as she popped into the grove. "Remus and Roman are here, Tabi!" She said gleefully as she charged over, hitting Remus lightly with the top of her head. Fortunately for Remus, Jane wasn't near as strong as Roman, or even Remus himself, so her little bump wouldn't be more than a little nudge. Her head tilted, however, whens he saw the new black and red swirled female that she didn't recognize. 'Allo there." She said happily.

 Remus snorted as he ran after his brother. "The Crash can knock down some for himself," he replied confidently. He blinked when he was bumped, grinning at the filly who had collided with him. "Hi, Rev!" he greeted cheerfully.  Dakini just huffed at Roman's comment, rolling her eyes. She didn't see what was so fascinating about some edible yellow plant. Despite her disinterest, she nodded politely to the filly that had greeted her. "... Hello." This must be the Jane Revelation that Roman was always talking about...  Tabitha squirmed as she followed after her sister. The flame siblings again. And an unfamiliar filly too. This wasn't going to be much fun... Her ears flicked up when she heard noise. "U-Um... someone else is here," she said quietly as she moved closer to her sister. "Bananas, huh...? That word has an interesting ring to it..." Rhapsody blinked as he entered the same grove that a flaming colt, a flying colt, a dark filly, a filly with flame marks, and an orange filly were. The flying one seemed to be getting ready to knock some of the fruit down. "Looks like you have some competition, Con," he replied casually as he inspected the curved, yellow fruit. "Those are the yellow fruit we're looking for, right?"~ "... Okay." Zuri didn't mind terribly much that they weren't going anywhere in particular. Although she had no qualms about spending time on her own, it was nice to walk around with her brother on the rare occurrence he wanted her around. As they reached the grove of trees, her ears started picking up sounds. Were there others here? ~ Tea Bell made a face, clearly not impressed by the enthusiastic response. But the upward gaze let her eyes fall on an even better prize than the herb at her hooves. "BANANA TREES!" She darted into the clearing in the grove of trees, ignoring the other foals already assembled there. She made a sharp turn as she jumped at the nearest tree, jumping back and forth between two sturdy trunks to get to the top of the fruit trees. Her teeth eventually clamped onto a cluster of bananas and the leaves surrounding it, gravity sending her back to the ground. She landed on her hooves, though she was stunned by the shock of the impact for a few moments. Shaking her head, she suddenly noticed the others around her. "Errrr..." she managed around the prize in her teeth, her eyes flicking between the foals.

Concerto looked in the direction that Rhapsody was referring to. "Eh, I don't care about any competition." He turned his attention to the bananas. "Yes! This is what I was looking for! Come on, Rhapsody, help me get some!"
~
Harmony went to the foot of the tree that her sister had just climbed. "Nice job, Tea. Now we have some company," Harmony said calmly. She went over to where Rhapsody was standing. "You being dragged around, too? I see your brother over there is very interested in those banana trees."

Roman fluttered to the ground, a bunch in his mouth. He set them down with an amused grin at the two females who had approached. "Nice moves, greeny" he said, tucking his wings in as he approached the males that were nearby. "What's up birdbeak?" He asked flippantly, making sure his flames were burning hot enough to scorch the ground beneath him.
Jane flipped her mane as she studied the other females. "I'm Revelation, and this is my sister Genesis." She introduced. "You must be Chaos's sister?" She asked politely.
Arsul stopped at the edge of the orchard, his ears flicking as he picked up sounds. He could hear an antagonistic colt, as well as several fillys. It would be good for Zuri to socialize, as much as they both probably didn't want to. "We don't have to go in." He said simply, offering Zuri the option for them to leave without meeting the others.

Tea Bell took only a moment to register the winged colt's comment before beaming at her sister. Then she turned to the excited one staring up at the trees. "Ber-nan-ers?" She trotted over to him, carefully setting her catch down before speaking again to the beaked colt. "You can have these bananas," she informed him in a rather matter-of-fact tone. "I just want the leaves." They were the missing ingredient in her latest concoction.
Punk's eyes narrowed at the winged colt approaching them. He instinctively put himself between the newcomer and his brother. "It's polite to give one's name in an introduction," he stated calmly, his red eyes inspecting the other's. This colt looked a lot like him... besides the wings and the ability to scorch the ground. "Like this. Hi, I'm Rhapsody. The one with the beak is my brother, Concerto. What's your name, Hot Hooves?" Then he turned his full attention to the filly that had approached him. He nodded. "That's right. Con likes fruit and he wanted me to help him find some bananas." His gaze went over to the one the winged colt had called "greeny". "Is that your sister?" She seemed a little odd, but friendly. And that maneuver before had been impressive. Then he seemed to remember the advice he'd just given. "Ah, sorry. I'm Rhapsody. What's your name?"
"... Daki," Dakini introduced in a mumble to Revelation, watching the events around Roman unfolding. She nodded absently to the other filly's question, frowning slightly at the one who'd introduced himself as Rhapsody. He looked... disturbingly similar to Roman. He couldn't be a lost brother, could he? And that look... defiant. Not hostile like Ruin's, but determined to say the least. How odd... usually a defiant look had anger in it, but his had none.
"Heeey, don't burn the grass," Remus complained as he approached the two brothers that his own had spoken to. "Sorry about that," he apologized cheerfully. "My brother has no tact. I'm Crash. This is Chaos."
Rhapsody turned back towards Chaos when he heard Crash speak. After a minute of silence, he barked a laugh. "You're a blunt one. I like that." A grin stretched across his face. "Nice ta meetcha, Crash. I'm Punk Rhapsody."
Tabitha fidgeted near the edge of the clearing, uncomfortable at the hostility already brewing between the colts. Well, Chaos and Rhapsody, at least. And Crash seemed to be trying to alleviate it...
Zuri thought for a moment. "Well," she said finally. "It couldn't hurt to at least look." And if they didn't like what they found, they'd leave.

Concerto ignored the colt named "Chaos" and turned his attention to Tea Bell. "Oh, thanks! I was looking for bananas." Then Concerto remembered manners. "Oh, right, I'm Concerto. What's your name?"
Harmony was nervous of the tension growing between the Chaos and Rhapsody, but she wasn't about to forget her manners. "I'm Harmony. Nice to meet you," she replied to Rhapsody. Then she noticed three fillies over away from everyone else. 'I'll just go say hi,' she thought to herself. She started over to the two yellow fillies and the black and red one. "Hello, I'm Harmony," she said to the more shy-looking of the yellow fillies. "What's your name?

Chaos watched the others with interest. "My apologies, though my brother is right. I really don't have tact." he turned his head to look at his sister and the two fillies he and his brother had met long ago. He couldn't help but notice that Daki just looked completely out of place, which made her irritated.. which meant that it was likely that someone was gonna get hurt. He turned towards her. "Do we need to leave, Dakini?" he asked quietly, so only she and those closest to them could hear the concern in his voice.
Revelation lightly bumped into her sister before approaching and sniffing at Tea bell and her sister Harmony. "So where are you guys from?" She asked with her tail flicking.
Arsul nodded and led the way in, noting carefully the brothers who were on fire. His clear eyes took in all the sights before he spoke. "Did you know that you are on fire?" He asked, his voice flat and showing no emotion, not even interest.

Dakini snorted at her step-brother, glaring. She was fine! She wasn't a volcano. She was a little irritated, but she'd been working on controlling her temper. She'd be perfectly fine. Her gaze went back to the one that Chaos had nearly gotten into a confrontation with, the one with the uncanny similarities in color to her step-brothers. "... Who's he?"
Tabitha fidgeted when she was addressed. "I-I'm Tabitha..." At least this filly didn't seem so scary. Her expression was a mixture of embarrassment and almost horror at her sister's first question. "Jaaane!" That was rude! She snapped out of her panic when a quiet voice spoke up near her.
"U-um..." Zuri hesitated before speaking up a little. "I'm Zuri... what are your names?" She didn't bother going over to scold Arsul; it would only make things worse. Her brother would figure it out.
Tabitha relaxed a bit. Harmony and Zuri. They seemed much less... wild than the colts and Jane. "I'm Tabitha. ... O-oh, um, nice to meet you..."
Remus blinked at the emotionless question. "Well, yeah," he replied, thinking the question odd. "Did you know you aren't?" He blinked and turned to his companion when he snorted. What was that about?
Punk Rhapsody had snorted at the exchange between Crash and the newest newcomer. The filly that had come with the brown and purple colt had just approached the other fillies... His grin widened, actually looking like he was enjoying himself a bit. He wasn't sure if he'd ever been around such a variety of rhythms... His ears twitched ever so slightly, catching bits of the conversations around him. Tea... an erratic but interesting tune. Arsul... monotone but not necessarily dull. Concerto... a happier version of his usual rhythm. Zuri and Tabitha's were the most similar, but even they were different. Tabitha's was timid while Zuri's was more dreamlike. Harmony's was peaceful, but there was something else there... Crash and Chaos both had more fiery tempos. Jane's was... well, it was hard to describe. Deceptive. It was almost as if it was trying to play tricks on his ears. A little irritating, a little interesting. "Cacophony or harmony...?"
Tea Bell grinned at Concerto. "I'm Tea! Tea like herbal tea, not the letter T," she replied. Then she abruptly turned her attention to an observation made about one of the other colts. "Uwaaaaah! Blue flames!" Her eyes glittered, as if she knew exactly how they'd fit into one of her odd remedies. Then she just as quickly turned back to Concerto. "I'm gonna be a miracle maker when I grow up," she informed him with that big, slightly crazy grin. "What about you?"

Concerto blinked for a moment, trying to understand all of the words coming out of Tea's mouth. "I don't know, maybe an explorer," Concerto replied after processing the different voices around him. "I like fruit, and finding out new things." Concerto felt out of place with all these different foals around him. It was strange to hear so many more voices his age that wasn't his brother's.
Harmony turned to Zuri. "Hello, I'm Harmony. Nice to meet you, Zuri." Her ears perked up for a moment when she thought she heard the vague word harmony in the midst of all of the conversation, but decided to ignore it. I'd better just ignore it, or I'm gonna embarrass myself.... She turned her attention back to Tabitha and Zuri. They seemed to be much calmer than her sister, or any of the other foals there. Then Harmony heard one of the foals say something behind her. She turned and saw who looked to be Tabitha's sister. Then she realized she had just asked her a question. "Oh, I'm from just a little ways away. And... excuse me for asking, but what's your name?
