 Kiefer was tired of having to listen to his mama and papa. He was tired of adults looing down at him and calling him cute. he was tired of trying to convince people he was strong. He was quite tired of being a colt.
Sure, it hadn't been that long...but come on! He wanted to be a big strong stallion like his papa, and be able to look down at little colts and laugh because they were just that: little. He felt like he was ready to take on the world. But was he? Who knows.
He kicked a pinecone in frustration. It momentarily few into the air, then relanded on the ground, bouncing, and rolling before stopping just in front of a tree. Down where he had kicked, some fresh brown dirt was visable, and a few grash shands lay uprooted.
It didn't help his frustration.

 Thunk, A noise sounded close to Moki's ears, waking him up from his small nap. He had decided to lay down behind a bush, well more around several bushes. It was easy for him to be mistaken for the ground or a shrub with his dark brown coat.
Giving a soft yawn, Moki peered out from under the brush to see what was cuasing a noise. There was no use in running out if it was something dangerous, or if it was Kanti. All he could see, was four small hooves near him. It was a foal, nothing that he needed fear. Letting out another sigh he remained lieing there in the brush keeping his eyes peeled on the foal.

His ear's perked up...he swore he heard something. A....yawn? Or maybe just the wind. Anyway, that certainly didn't help his problum now, did it.
Of course, what would help him? Nothing, that was the answer. He just needed to wait and be pacient like his papa told him. But being pacient DEFINETLY wasn't something he was good at. He was accually quite bad at it.
I went over to the tree that the pinecone had stopped by and kicked it as hard as he could. It left a little scuff on the tree, nothing particularly damaging. If he had been a big stallion, maybe he would have gotten through the bark.
"I wish I was grown up..." he mumbled alowed, plopping on the ground. Sometimes he wanted to be like his sister Abattie and just burst into tears, but that would just re-assure the fates taht he wasn't ready to be an adult.
So he just sat there, and bruted. His papa did that sometimes. Maybe that would make him look more grown up?

Moki watched as the foal moved around. He couldn't exactly see what the foal was doing, but he could hear the thunk of something hitting a larger object. Was the foal upset?
"I wish I was grown up..."
So the foal was upset, Moki thought as the foal plopped down infront of him. Moki remembered when he was foal. It wasn't any fun being so little, especial with his two sisters, but being grown up wasn't any better.
"So tell me, whats so great about being grown up?" Moki asked, giving the brush a little shake to let him know that he was there.

"You are big and strong and people don't look down at you anymore, and you don't haveta listen to what your parents say" he said without even thinking about who he was talking too.
Wait, who WAS he talking too?!?
The bush next to him had shook...ah. Someone must be behind there...unless it was a magical bush! He approched it cauciously, and then, looked behind it.
Oh! It was a stallion. A big, dark brown stallion, he must have been napping. "Sorry for waking you" Kiefer mumbled, feeling rather stupid. Even when he was angry he was annoying people. One more thing about being a colt, it was easier to be annoying.

Moki watched as the foal's feet moved around the edge of the brush and peered in at him. So he was found out then.
Before giving the foal an answer, Moki shifted his feet up and stood up. He had been lying there long enough, it was time to move.
"No no no, I need to get up. I would sleep the whole day away without realizing it," Moki replied giving a small shake of his head "big and strong isn't that fun. You have to do alot of things for others, like doing errands for you mom like I do."

Kiefer felt a little better because the stallion needed to get up. But maybe he was lying, and was just saying that to make him feel better. Horses did that sometimes.
"But...people wouldn't think you were little and 'cute'! And...well, I wouldn't mind doin favors for my mama, but she's got papa to do that for her" he said. His father would do anything for his mother.
Certainly it would be better to be a stallion then a foal. Why would he try to convince him otherwise.
"If you could choose, would you be grown up like you are now, or would you be a colt like me? You would be a stallionm right? Right?!?"

Moki watched as the foal continued on with his reasonging. He looked a little skeptical about Moki needing to wake up, but that didn't need any worry.
"Cute? And little.... hmmmmmm I like being cute." Moki replied, in a somewhat dreamy slow state. He loved it when others called him cute when he was younger. At least then they didn't look at him to do things for them, or being polite, or if you were like his mother and playing match maker.
"Would I want to be a stallion? No... probably not," Mokie replied "I think I like being a foal better. Others may look at you like your cute, but at least you can get away from being in trouble. And you don't have to worry about things, you can just run around and play freely. I miss that part the most, being able to just play..."

"I hate it when people call me cute. Makes me feel like a weak little filly. I wanna be called strong or...handsom..." he remembered when his grandmother had called him handsom when he told her that he didn't like being cute.
"But cantcha be like that as a stallion?" he said, tilting his head. Why would you not be able to play anymore as a stallion? You just got bigger...things couldn't change that much, could they? Ok, maybe he wouldn't get out of trouble as easily (and Kiefer got in a LOT of trouble!), but wouldn't it be harder to get INTO trouble because your parents wouldn't be able to tell you off for doing something you shouldn't?

"Oooooo..... Handsome thats a better word then cute isn't it..." Moki replied thinking about it. Cute was sort of a filly word, but handsome was a little more macho. The colt had a point there, even though cute wasn't too terribly bad.
"Huh what" Moki replied, his thoughts had drifted off to thinking about the words handsome and cute, "oh no. You see when your a stallion you have to responsible. You see others think, look is a large horse, he must be brave and responsible. So when they see you playing and acting like a foal they think your being childish, and you should act your age." In a matter of fact, Moki thought, you had to take all the repsonbility for doing things that you did. Especially things that got you in trouble. Simply getting punished didn't work anymore, sometimes you even stood the chance of being banned from certain areas or being chased or threaten to be beaten to a pulp.

"Definetly" Kiefer agreed. He barely knew the word, but her certainly thought it better then cute.
"Well....I will be responsible, but I will still play with my friends. We all play now so why wouldn't we play when we are older?" This stallion must be confused. His friends would never stop playing, would they?
"I am already brave!" he decided out loud. He had to protect his sisters all the time, even though there was never really any danger, it was still his job to be in charge if anything happened, right?
"I'm already pretty much a grown up I just need to get bigger!" he said angrily.

"Well...I guess you play a little......but most of the time you having to do other things...and then your friends get families and they are too busy being adults having to things for their families..." Moki kept rambling on. He didn't pay any attention to the foal as he continued on. Actually he got so invovled in rambling on about what he was talking about, that he reminded him about all of his friends, and everything they did when he was younger, and what they did now.
When colt yelled "I am already brave!" Moki gave a small jump. For a colt he had large voice, or either Moki was just not paying attention that caused it to be louder.
"Being brave has nothing to do with getting bigger, I'm still a chicken at times, especially around Kalonas..." Moki gave a small shudder "but you wait when you get bigger... it won't be as fun as it seems. In a way you remind me of my sister. She hated being little, now that she's older she hates it at times."

"I don't think they will have familys. Fillys are fun to play with, but they are kind of...icky.." he said, making a face. When they got all lovey and cuddly, he just wanted to yell out and say 'Leave me alone!'. The stallion of rambling quite a bit now. He must be REALLY into whatever he was saying.
"Yes it will be as fun as it seems! " he said, almost angrily. Why did adults always say things like that. He wanted to be big, and it would be fun. Why would they try to crush his dreams?
And they always said he would wish to be a colt again when he was older...that was SO not true! No one would ever want to be a colt, tied down from being younger.

Moki couldn't help but a let a large chuckle out. Fillys...icky... how many times did he say that when he was young. All the fillys were now mares, with the exception of his sisters, in which he didn't mind their company, especially Nicole's company.
"Well, I won't crush your dreams of wanting to be big.... in which by the way I don't know you name. And some how I get the feeling you wouldn't like to be called little one," Moki replied giving a smile.

"I'm Kiefer..." he mumbled, feeling a bit immature. This stallion was so nice and all he could do was take his anger out on him. Such a colt thing to do. What would a stallion do here?
He didn't know. because he wasn't one. And it seemed like he never would be. Maybe there was something wrong with him, maybe he would just stay a colt forever and forever. That would be the worst thing in the world.
"What's your name?" he asked. Maybe that is what a stallion would do. It was the polite and proper thing to do, but something that only a stalliong would do. Anyone with half a brain would think to do it.
