 It was just one of those days in Homewood. The air was seasonably warm, hot really as it seemed that the branches over head were thinner and the sun shown down. Fawn had been so busy with trying to get her small gardens ready for planting that having the over active foal was starting to over do things. If Juniper had wanted to help, Fawn would have been fine, but as it was, the youngster wanted to do nothing but play. So for the sake of her own sanity, she sought out Betty Bay to watch Juniper for the day. Juniper watched as her adopted mom wandered away leaving her with another doe. Tilting her head to one side she didn't know what was really going on. Once the Strawberry Roan doe was out of sight Juniper looked up at the doe that she had been left with. Those large brown eyes looking confused. "Did Juniper do something wrong that Mama doesn't want Juniper around?" She asked tilting her head slightly. While it was true that Russet Fawn had only just stumbled across the foal while out near the barrens. The Mahogany bay foal had been lost and looking for someone to take care of her. She didn't understand the concept of being watched by someone else to give Fawn a little quiet so she could work. Looking back towards home, Juniper stood as if waiting for Fawn to reappear and take her back home. WC: 245

 Betty Bay had been out enjoying the hot mid morning of the Homewood's. The sun had been a refreshing difference form the bog and not nearly has harsh as the barrens. I was a great day for a walk to the stream that ran through the meadow. Chenoa was off visiting family and friends, which left Betty on her own since she found the young Jack Hop. Betty felt kind of lonely really, it was strange to not have someone with her. So it was a welcomed comfort when Fawn came to her and asked if she would be ok with watching the young foal. The cute foal watched as her adopted mother walked off and asked one of the sweetest questions that almost made Betty cry. She had heard through the noul vine that Fawn had found the foal lost in the barrens, so one could only image what she thought as Fawn walked away form her leaving her with a stranger. Hopeful soon the sweet foal would trust Fawn and maybe some day Betty and know that she would never be left behind again. "No sweet Juniper did not do anything wrong at all. Fawn has some work to do today is all and she did not want you to be bored all day. Plus I was lonely so she though maybe you could play with me." Betty tried to explain to the foal but only at the end of the day would she fully understand how much Fawn cared for her. "So what would you like to do today? I was think about going to the meadow where there is cool stream we can play in on this hot day?" Betty suggested to this idea but she did not mind if Juniper had other ideas for the day. The only thing that mattered was to have fun and stay cool, at least that's all Betty cared about for that day. wc:323

Juniper still wasn't sure what was going on, all she did know is that Mama walked away leaving her with this strange doe. A doe that was the same colors or near the same colors and markings as herself. The mahogany bad foal still wasn't too sure of everything around her. With the mention of work, this was something that she had seen Fawn doing a lot. "She does a lot of that lately. Since we came back from that big white tree." Juniper said as she looked back up at Betty Bay. "Strange tree did something to her now she has a marking on her shoulder and down her leg."
She spoke of Fawn's adept marking, she had been trying to figure out what had happened, but it was all too confusing. Shaking her head there was soon mention of going somewhere and play? She had been to a few meadows with Fawn, some where she could play as she did some seed gathering. Others were for learning reasons. She never understood what was being talked about, but that was probably because she wasn't that old either.
"That sounds fun!" Came a more chipper voice from the young Juniper as her tail flicked behind her in excitement. "Can always play hide and seek too!" She pipped, while it wasn't that fun with just two nouls, but it would still be fun. Right?

Betty had to giggle at the way the small foal described Fawn and her new abilities and rank. To the young mind of foal it sounded like a prefect explanation. Which brought a sad thought to Betty's mind, she had had a hard time understanding why her parents had worked so hard all the time too. When they earned their markings they all but disappeared. "I hope Fawn remembers to show this foal love even though she is working so hard." Betty thought to herself.
Shacking that sad thoughts away, Betty knew this was no time to project her past on the situation. After all this was supposed to be a fun trip. "Great lets go then." At the mention of hide and seek Betty almost panicked there was no way hide and seek was a good idea. "Can you imagen if you lost the foal that was so recently found. Ya not happing." she thought as they walked but she did not say anything about it. Betty was sure she could redirect the foal to a different game once the got to the meadow.
It was not a long walk to the meadow with the stream. Once in the clearing one could smell the warm sent of lavender and pine in the air. the stream was pretty shallow but cool and refreshing all the same. At the edge there was all kinds of colorful pebbles and rocks to pick a choice from. After a cool drink of water Betty looked at the foal and asked "So I was thinking maybe we could play tag." Crouching down in a playful stains Betty added "Ill be it first if you would like."
She waited this way until the foal said whether she wanted to play before giving chase.

Juniper kept watching the area where Fawn had vanished from sight. Tilting her head to one side she turned around to follow Betty Bay to this meadow that she had been talking about. She followed at a bit of a slower pace, she still wasn't too sure... The meadow was exciting sounding, there was something else on her young mind. As they broke free from the trees, Juniper stopped and looked out at the wide open space.
Ears flicking slightly, large brown eyes grew larger as she looked around at all the flowers that were growing here. The way they rippled as the wind brushed through them. This place seemed magical! Stepping more into the meadow, she followed Betty over to the stream to get a drink for herself. She was still taking everything in when Betty asked if she wanted to play Tag. Looking at the older, taller Doe, she tilted her head a little.
"Tag?" she asked, "What is that? Mama and Talltale like playing who can find the leaf." It was mostly when they were hunting for certain herbs. While Fawn had been the best at the game, she let Juniper find almost everything. "Also play a lot of Hide and Seek. Talltale is very good at that game." She closed an eye in thought as she glanced at the sky with the other. She seemed to be trying to think if she and the others had played Tag before, but she wasn't too sure... Besides one game...
"Is Tag like Hide and capture? Only no hiding and much running?" It was a version of hide and seek, but one she played when she didn't want to go to bed. They had made game out of it and Juniper was always tired afterwards and would take herself to bed.

The meadow was a great place to play a game of tag. Open and clear and sunny, all the things one needed to be safe and have fun. The best thing about this meadow was it had a the stream for a cool drink after a great game. Betty's family had come to this meadow many time, though her parents only came to perform there callings. Her siblings and her had had a lot of good memories. Betty hoped Juniper would be able to make some here as well.
It sadden Betty's heart to think this little foal had never played tag before with her parents. Betty did not know much about Juniper but that game was a staple in her family. It was the best way to burn a energetic foals energy and oh so fun when they didn't catch you. Though it seemed she did understand the concept of tag as Juniper explained another great foals game which was very simpler.
"Yes it is very close to the same thing." Betty said with a nod and big smile. "The only difference is once you are catch you have to catch the another noul." It made since to Betty but she had played it before. ]"Let just try it and as questions come up you can ask. I will be the chased first and you run until I catch you. Sound ok?" Betty waited to see if the foal understood and still wanted to play. Deep down she hoped Juniper would play because it would help Fawn later at bed time too.

Juniper watched Betty Bay as she crouched in ready to play tag. Tilting her head a little, wrapping her young mind around the concept of being chased around before being touched then chasing the other around. This in a way sounded like something that was to be done with more then just the two of them. Shaking her head, large eyes watching the doe for a moment before she too took the crouched position. "So who is going to be it first?" She asked, tail flicking slightly behind her. OneWintersNite [[ Sorry for the long wait and short short post. ^^ ]]

Betty giggled and stood up form her crouch. The young foals question was just to cute and Betty could not help it. This really was going to be so much fun for them both. "I will go first so are you ready?" Betty asked but knew half the fun was not being ready fully. Coaching back down getting ready herself she counted " 1 2 3..." In a rush and raced after her laughing the hole way.
Tag was one of Betty's favorite games. It just had so much benefits both physical and emotionally. It was not long before Betty caught Juniper and giggle as she called out " Tag! Your it!" And then she ran away form the young foals while looking over her shoulder to see if Juniper was coming for her.

Juniper still wasn't too sure about this game. he had tried to take off after the larger noul, but her little legs wouldn't let her dash as fast. Shaking her head she just watched Betty Bay as she dashed around before her ears flicked slightly. Someone was calling her from the edge of the meadow. Seemed whatever Fawn had been doing was finished and she was back. Looking back at Betty she shouted.
"Mama's calling. It was fun playing. Maybe we can try again some other time."
Turning, Juniper romped over towards where Fawn was standing and the two turned to leave. Fawn, not really one for words, gave Betty a nod of thanks before starting their journey home.
