Away from his family at last. It was like nothing in the world to be free of his brother's constant, well just him, and to be able to trot around without a care in the world. Mama would probably start to wonder where he was eventually but she knew he was smart enough to take are of himself. At least this way he and his brother didn't spend the whole afternoon snapping at eachother.
Tossing his hair trying in vain to get the white curls out of his eyes he trotted toward a small stream he'd come across. A drink would do him some good after all the running around. Shaking himself slightly he got some of the dust off his hide but knew he'd need a bath later to get rid of it all. Good thing Mama and Dah lived by a lake.

 She wandered farther than usual, taking in the vast scenery of summer making her grand appearence. A dazzling blue sky smiling fondly against the mare's cornflowerblue coat adorned with colorful gumdrops for a birthmark upon neatly formed rump. Not a care in the world nipped at this little mare's worries causing her to toss about her mane back and forth, letting the springy curls dance about here and there in lavenders, pinks, and a soft white. Eyes shimmering like little gems eagerly catching the sun's perfect rays as she gazed upon the sea of emerald around her.
Smiling with a kick of her heels she noted a butterfly wanting to play and she nodded quite happily. She was nearing a small stream dancing lightly with giggles as she reached outward to touch the butterfly playfully.

He'd drunk his fill of the cool water and stared at a fish for a bit before he noticed something. His ears swiveled as he heard what sounded like laughing, no, it was higher pitched than that. Turning his head to follow his ears he saw something blue, something like Mama, playing with a butterfly.
Staying still he watched the mare for a bit rather than confront her. He wasn't usually one for social situations, the only other he knew besides his family being Tony, so he wasn't sure if he sho0uld even say something to her.

Away it flew then back around to meet her landing softly upon her curly tail. The contrasts of its deep orange body upon the fluffy purples, pinks, and white lying within her tail. She giggled again stretching her head around to tag the butterfly when it flitted in the air just out of her reach.
"Well hello to you too Mr. Butterfly. Thank you for playing with me" she nodded throw ing up her head playfully as the butterfly flitted off toward a patch of flowers. Smiling she turned her head to notice a stallion composed in blue, green, and brown. He was watching her it seemed, so she raised her head up and smiled back at him.
"Hello there" she called out in a sweet soft voice, "Beautiful day isn't it? Mind if I come over and get a drink please?" she asked as the sun twinkled within her dazzling strange eyes.

Chasing butterfly's seemed like a useless way to spend time but it seemed like the mare was having fun. At least that was less stupid than something he figured his brother would do.
Wylie would have been chasing something like rabbit or a bird. Boys would look pretty silly going after something that delicate. He shook his head and then noticed that she'd noticed him. Damn, there went his chance to hopefully not get into anyone's day.
"Hello .... it is." The day was nice even if it was a little warm. When she asked about the water he turned his head to look at the stream. "It's not like i own it so i can't stop you anyway."

Sweet Stuff giggled tossing her head as she headed over. Walking with a dainty swing to her stride she paused momentarily before reching the water. "Well its always nice to ask something before you do it. Thank you," she noted before leaning her neck downward to take in a wondorous cool refreshing drink.
When she was finished she looked back at the stallion with a twinkle in her eye. "I'm Sweet Stuff by the way. What's your name?" She continued to smile as her tail swished back and forth quite happily. "Mr. Butterfly was really nice to me this morning and on such a lovely day. I just love the springtime". She continued to smile at him as her nature always allowed her to. Such a sweet little mare that loved everything in the world that revolved around her.

His nose wrinkled slightly as he thought about that. It was nice to ask when you were doing something like using someone else's things but he'd never thought about asking to drink. The Lake didn't belong to anyone and neither did the rivers so he shouldn't have to ask just because someone else was around.
"Dodger.." He answered her question absently as he though about the water problem. He'd have to ask Mama about that when he returned home. When she started talking about the butterfly he looked back at her. She gave it a name? He tried to smile at her and not let her notice what he was thinking. Didn't fillies stop playing with butterfly's when they grew up?
"Uh ... yea. The warmth is nice"

Sweet Stuff beamed quite proudly as the butterfly flitted back toward Dodger landing directly on his tail.
"Dodger. What a nice name you have," she giggled with a toss of her curly tresses pausing to smile even wider, "Oh look Mr. Butterfly has come to play with you too". Whinnying she danced in place excited that Mr. Butterfly had returned.
He was such a nice butterfly to return back to the joyous little mare.

"He wha..." His head turned slowly to look at the butterfly that had landed on his tail. Great. He was tempted to flick the curls to make the thing go away but that would be mean right?
The mare seemed to like the butterfly and she'd probably scold him if he was mean to it. He knew from his family that it wasn't good to make mares mad.
After the comment about his name filtered into his head he grinned slightly. "Thanks."

Sweet Stuff laughed in such a sweet tone you couldn't help but laugh with her. Eyes twinkling she pranced in place in a little dance.
"Hey Mr. Butterfly you're being a bit rude. Never land on someone's tail cause they can't see you," she scolded with another soft laugh.
Looking back to Dodger she continued to smile. Either he was enjoying himself or just trying to be nice, even so she was happy just to have someone to finally talk to.

You really couldn't help but laugh with her though he was a little forced. He didn't really see what was so funny about the butterfly landing on his tail. Last thing he needed was to know his mass of curls was a magnet for small insects.
"I really don't think the butterfly can understand you. Besides if i were him i'd do whatever i wanted anyway." Though he'd probably stay away from anything that wasn't flower colored and he knew he defiantly wasn't flower colored.

"Even so it feels good to say what you think, especially if something is trying to listen. And you know what? There are so many butterflies in the land that its hard to say which one is Mr. Butterfly," she nodded and blew outward giving the butterfly a lift to the sky so it wouldn't be bothering Dodger anymore.
She watched as it took off in flight, swirled around and landed directly on her nose. Without even trying not to she sneezed due to the tiny little legs tickling her.
Blinking she giggled as the butterfly flitted off elsewhere.
"Well now, I really wonder what that butterfly is thinking" she murmered turning back to Dodger, "Are you from around here? I only just arrived a couple months back?"

"There's probably some way to tell the Mr's from the Misses, couldn't tell ya what though." They were just bugs to him. He hadn't really seen any that he thought were nice looking and all they ever did was land on things and then flutter off. Must have been a mare thing.
"From the lake." That was technically around here in some sense. "Mama and Dah live there so that must be where i'm from too." Though he figured that Dah was from somewhere else entirely with the way he acted some times.

"Ah I see," she nodded with a smile lighting her eyes, " That is so true that it could be male or female. Thank you so much for setting me straight with that," she beamed with a little dance of her front feet, "It must be wonderful to be born in a place such as this one, you are so lucky."
She then looked over the stream towards the higher hills.
"Ever wonder where this land leads to, like an island, or is it a huge body of land?" she asked with a wide look in her expression staring outward, "Even what strange soquili roam this world we're living in. If you think about iit it sounds never ending. The clouds, sky, water, grass, its all a bunch of little things that make this really wonderful place."
She turned back to him with an excited guise about her, letting the sun twinkle off of her eyes. Everything she learned was so facinating, and she had Dodger to thank for his outlook on the butterfly.

He was slightly taken aback at her words. Usually when he said something like that. His brother usually called him an a** and his parents sighed at him. She'd ... she'd completely ignored it as if it was just normal conversation.
"I believe it is a large body of land. I have not see any water but that of the lake and the rivers." He had walked around the Lake before so he knew it wasn't big enough to cut the land completely.
