  It is a beautiful spring day where the sun is up in the cloudless skies and the overal temperature is just perfect. The small animals would play in the open meadows and take advantage of this beautiful day and two particular mares is doing the same. Suddenly a dark tealish mare bursts out of the forest line with her mane and tail streaming behind her and her muscles are working in the perfect rhythm. Her hooves thundered against the ground and her exuberant laughter fills the spring air. "Told you! You can't beat me, ma!!" Isabella shouts over her shoulder before she trots to stop in the middle of the meadows. The younger mare turns around and grins cheekily at the approaching older mare.Shortly after the younger tealish mare bursts out of the forest, a dark blue mare practically leapt out of the forest , looking every bit graceful like her daughter. "Yeah yeah... you know I am an old mare." She laughs good-natured as she slows down to the halt in front of her daughter, grinning lightly. "Mmm.. its a beautiful day..." The elderly mare says as she throws her head back, basking in the warm sunlight with a huge grin on her face. "You know.. I have feeling we are going to meet someone we used to know.."

  The sun was warm upon his back as he and his son flew through the ever expanding skies over head. A smile came across Shihab's face as he stretched out his legs and shifted to swoop under his son, he did enjoy playing harmless games in the skies. It was something that they both did while away from Adelle and Del, who seemed to want some mother daughter time just Shihab wanted time with his son. Never would he expect to be flying over the same meadow that an old friend and her daughter were in. The thought really never crossed his mind as Shihab started pulling off tricks and tormenting his son.* "Come on, you stick in the mud." Shihab smiled as his son was more interested in what was going on below as if wanting to swoop down at someone and scare the wits out of them...*The silver stallion that flew just a wings length away from his 'playful' father looked at him as if he were crazy. He wasn't a foal anymore, even if he did retain some qualities of one. Smiling Andre straightened up his wings and dove toward the ground before swooping back up again to spiral about his father.* "Stick in the mud? Highly not!" he llaughed before something, rather two somethings caught his attention. *Mares, two of them, they looked strikingly almost alike, mother daughter he supposed before looking at his father who seemed not to notice. Shaking his head, Andre descended to the ground not far from the female pair, his equally tri colored wings folding to his sides.* *Sighting his son's descent, Shihab turned his gaze to the ground, his smile widening as he too drifted down wards. Though instead of landing a distance away, he landed just behind Frosta, before his wings were even closed he reached out the tug at her tail most foalishly before chuckling.* "Good day to you Miss Frosta and Miss Isabella." He greeted bowing his head to them both, his golden eyes watched as Andre seemed to keep his distance away from the mares...*

Isabella was the first one to notice the twin shadows approaching them and she nickers at her mother with a grin on her face. She knows that they are probably harmless wind soquilis that is just passing by as she dances around her mother laughing. "Mama... you know you don't have to let me win like you usually do when I was a filly." She sticks her tongue out before she squeaks in surprise as Shihab landed behind Frosta. A mischievous grin appears on her face which got Frosta all suspicious before she laughs, prancing toward her uncle. "Hey Shihab! You know you don't have to call me Miss Isabella.. I am not that old." She laughs. spotting Andre. "Oooh!!! He looks like a basket you used to have, Shihab!" She exclaims.
Frosta glances at the shadows when she heard her daughter's nickers but she paid the shadows no heed while making faces at her daughter. "Who said I was letting you win, Isabella?" She says as she leans over to nibble on her daughter's mare. "I am an old mare so I can't run as fast as I could when I was your age." She sticks her tongue out at her daughter before she eyes her daughter when she spots the mischievous grin on Izzie's face. A surprised squawk escaped this elderly mare when her tail gets tugged, she spun around to see who would do a such thing to her. Her eyes widen in surprise. "Shihab!!" She cries happily as she nuzzles him. "How are you doing?"

*Shihab burst into laughter at the sounds that came from Frosta as he stepped forward to nuzzle against her. It had been a while since he had seen her, since before Andre was placed in his basket he believed. That was a while ago, thinking he wasn't going to be a good father to his children. But everything turned out alright in that aspect.* It's good to see you again Frosta." He nodded before moving to nuzzle Izzie before playfully nipping at her mane. "I know, but what kind of example would I be setting for my son there if I wasn't polite?" he asked tilting his head before looking over at Andre. "Andre, come over here and meet your Aunt Frosta and Cousin Izzie." He shouted as Andre seemed to be stuck fast to his spot...*
*Andre, snorted at the actions of his father before he made his way toward the pair. He wasn't quite sure whether or not he should act like his father, or like himself. Shaking his head he pranced over and stoped before them, his wings fluffing out a little.* "Hello aunt Frosta, Izzie." He said most shyly at first, he still didn't quite know what was going on... "Dad, is this why you dragged me out here? So I could meet them and leave Sissy alone?" he demanded of his father. *Andre had been having fun teasing his sister back home behind his mother's back, knowing well that he would get into deep trouble by her. Then again, he could have fun with his cousin as well if given the chance.*

Izzie squirms around as her mane gets nipped and she giggles at Shihab. "Polite? to your own niece?" She pretends to be shocked by that notion as she makes face at her uncle. "You are a piece of work, Uncle Shihab! Oou.... Andre." She peers at the silverish mare with a mischievous smile on her face before she clears her throat. "what? no nuzzle for your cousin.. how rude!" She exclaims while trying to look upset but a laughing glint in her eyes gave her away.
Frosta rolls her eyes in amusement at her 'brother' as she grins at Shihab. "It is wonderful to see you again! But do you really have to pull on my tail?" She inquires the stallion with a grin on her face as she shoulders her daughter to engage Andre in a conversation. "I see that your son have survived.. what about other basket?" She turns toward Shihab with a grin on her face. "Oh Andre..." She says when she hears Andre's comment. "Don't tell me you didn't want to meet your aunt and cousin." She frowns at her nephew.

*Feeling as it had been backed into a corner, Andre, rolled his own golden eyes watching the mares. His ears twitching back, he was sort of rebellious as he listened to what they had to say. his aunt? His cousin? They didn't seem related to his father in the least... It must have been an adoption thing he supposed. Snorting lightly he came forward more to 'nuzzle against his cousin and Aunt.* "there you happy now?" he inquired looking at Izzie before bumping her playfully. "Then again, this little outing could be more fun then picking on Sissy back home."
*Shihab had to shake his head toward his son's action, he had some growing up to do it seemed before he was let loose and on his own. Turning toward Izzie he smiled.* "But of course, What kind of Uncle would I be if I didn't?" he asked with a chuckle, turning his attention back to Frosta. "Well not really, but you seemed lost in a daydream when I landed behind you." He chuckled. "As for the other basket, it grew into a beautiful mare like her mother, Andre calls her Sissy for some reason or another, I can never tell..." He remarked watching his son go all foal again around Izzie, serious thinking that he would never grew up enough to find himself a mate any time soon...* "So how have you two been since I last saw you?" He asked as things were starting to somewhat settle down. "I hope you faired well this past winter, it was a bit brutal there some time ago, Adelle and I had hard work keeping the young ones warm in their baskets, but we made it." He nodded still watching Andre and Izzie...

Izzie tries not to roll her eyes at Andre's obvious rebellious behavior before she gets nuzzled. "Mmm... I can kick yer butt if you try to replace me for your sister." She teases her cousin as she bumps back then she casually moves toward his rump. "One thing you need to know about me..." She bites his rump playfully before she bounds away. "is that I will always be a filly at heart." She grins teasingly at Andre. "Oh, I am doing wonderfully, Uncle! I finally got a mate." She grins and her cheeks darkens.
Frosta nuzzles Andre as she nips at his mane in almost motherly manner before she shakes her head smiling at Shihab. "I was making sure Isabella here don't pounce on me." She laughs as she shakes her head before she turns her head toward Isabella and Izzie. "I am glad your children grew up to be beautiful adults. Congratulation on succeeding in raising your children." Frosta beams at Shihab as she cocks her head to side. "Things have been doing just fine, nothing new happened except for Izzie's news. The winter was positively wonderful for me and Izzie but again, we stayed in our cavern until the storm blew away." She chuckles gently and sighs.

"Now why do you think I would do something like that cousin?" Andre asked looking confused, before barely moving as she nipped at his rump and dashed away. *Rearing up he wheeled around and tore after his cousin, a smiled on his face as he kept his wings cols to his sides so that they didn't slow him down.* "I think we are all foal inside dearest cousin." He laughed still charging after her, not caring to look back at his father and Aunt, he was having fun.
It's good to hear that you weathered the winter well, My home didn't do so well, but as the tree it is, branches will grow back into their splender." Shihab nodded looking toward the shrinking pair. "So Izzie found herself someone to love huh? I hope someday Andre and Del'Nal will also find the loves of their life and settle down some." He chuckled shaking his head. "Then again, they are still young."

"Just warning you that I will be always your cousin but I will kick yer butt if it calls for it." Isabella laughs as she bounds away from Andre. "But of course!! Some choose to embrace it.. some chose to shun it... me..." She squeals happily as she lept over a fallen log and spun around with a huge grin on her face. "I embrace my inner foal like it is my own child. I find that the world and the life is more colorful and enjoyable when you do embrace your inner foal." She grins as she prances from side to side waiting for her cousin to catch up with her.
"You should find a cave and claim it as your own. It will weather against every extreme weather that could come along. The tree..." Frosta pauses and smiles at Shihab. "is wonderful for a 'summer' home but cave or anything that is sturdy is better bet for protection and shelter." She advises as she watches the shrinking figure of her daughter as she runs away from her own cousin. "Mmm.. yeah, her own best friend from the foalhood. His name is Dharmesh.. he is a wonderful stallion and they obviously loves each other to death." She says with a pride evident in her voice. "Mmm... they should not hurry in finding a mate.. I find that the good things comes to the ones that wait or not looking." She chuckles lightly.

*Shihab gave Frosta this look as if she was crazy or something, but merely shook his head. He didn't think he could move too far away from hi human, not even if the snow was too deep to walk through.* "I chose to remain there just incase my human needed me, you remember her don't you?" he asked nudging Frosta gently on the side as he looked over toward the shrinking pair. "Those two could cause trouble if they wanted to." He chuckled more to himself then to anyone else...
*It didn't take too long for Andy to catch up to Izzie, but he was painting a little. He wished he had more speed then what he had. Shaking his head she smiled at Izzie before trotting past her, bumping her with his rump a bit.* "I guess there's a bit of foal in us all, don't you think?" he smiled looking back at her, his wings half opened, showing off the silver, yellow and deep lavender colors. "I heard from my father that you adored his wings when you were but a foal. Is that true cousin?" he asked turning around to look at her.

Frosta looks at Shihab and tries her best not to giggle and she smiles at her adopted brother. "Oh Shihab..." She finally laughs as she shakes her head, grinning at him. "There is always some kind of cavern nearby. Perhaps you can get your two-legger to make you a huge shelter for you and your family." She suggests before she smiles at the thought of the sweet two-legger. "Aye.. how is she doing?" She gets nudged before she laughs at his last comment. "mmhmm... Izzie is capable of doing anything she wants to." She says in amused manner.
Izzie laughs as she gets bumped, she nudges her cousin and grins at him. "Mmhmm... even a skinwalker have a foal inside them." She comments while her eyes drifts toward the wings, admiring them. "Mmhmm.. I still have a feather. My two-legger is holding it for me" She laughs as she grins at Andre. "It fell out of my hair when I grew up and I haven't seen my two-legger for while so I couldn't get her to put the feather in my hair." She says before she suddenly turns around and two small bells is tied to the base of her tail. "I bet you know where those came from." She chuckles.

"The human, she's doing well. When I left she was still cleaning up the clearing where we all live. A lot of branches came down this year. More then there were last year.. I have a feeling that we might be moving from that clear some time soon. I hope so somewhat, those branches came kinda close to collapsing her home." Shihab shook his head a little, "But as far as humans go, they move slowly when un-rushed." he chuckled. *He hoped that his human would make them a larger shelter then the tree, but if luck would have it. His first borns would find a place of their own in time, with those they love.*
*Andre's nose wrinkled a little at the mention of a skin walker. He had heard that they are pure evil, no love at all, or kindness... He had to wonder how even they still had foal in their blood... Shaking his head he smiled at Izzie as she turned around to show off the small bell. Oh he knew where it had come from, his mother still had plenty of bells, even though she had given away a few as well.* "You got that from my mother huh? My father's human has one too. Sadly, my sister and I didn't inherit any bells from mother, but that's alright." He smiled stretching his tri-colored wings a bit. "Who needs a bell when one has wings?" he joked, though he did love his mother and would never say anything like that to her.

"That is wonderful. I am glad to hear that the human is doing just fine." Frosta smiles as she sighs lightly. "Mmm... perhaps you guys can find a suitable home that will fit you and your family. I am sure you guys are planning on having more children in the future, yes?" Frosta grins teasingly at Shihab before she flicks her tail and moves around in a circle around her adopted brother.
Isabella chuckles softly as she grins at Andre. "I bet I am your papa and mama's favorite niece. I have a feather from your papa and two bells from your mama." She says with a grin on her face before she nudges her cousin. "But you can always pretend that you did, just get your two legger to tie some on your tail or behind your ear." She grins impishly as she prances around Andre. It was evident that she is full of energy today and intends keep that energy level up until the sun goes down.

"We hope to at one point or another, just not straight off. Andre and Del'Nal are all we need for the time being. Though you can understand that." He stated watching Frosta the best he could as she proceeded to circle about him. *A smile crossed his face as his wings stretched out a little as if he were going to leap into the air, it was a pleasant thought, but it would ruin all fun upon the ground when his adopted sister could not be in the skies with him.* "How is your other child? I remember there being two baskets with you when we first met.." He asked losing on eye as if in thought.
*He shook his head at his cousin and smiled.* "Nah, I'll be fine without one. I have a friend who likes me for me and that's all I care about." He nodded thinking of Tsa. "You have anyone who likes you for you?" he asked watching Izzie prance around him.

"Glacier?" Frosta queries as she peers at Shihab before she smiles. "She is doing wonderfully. She grew up to be a beautiful mare and she is very well-rounded as well.. personality wise of course." Frosta says with a pride evident in her voice. She continues to circle around him but she widen the distance so Shihab could spread his wings. "How is Adelle doing, Shihab?" She says as she turns in the direction where Izzie and Andre is.
Isabella pauses in mid prance as she looks at Andre weirdly. "Yeah, or otherwise I wouldn't have a mate right now." She says with a laugh. The mare quirks her eyebrow at Andre curiously. "With that glint in your eye, I would have to say that you have a lady friend you fancy more than just friends." She says in teasing voice and she grins impishly at her cousin. "Spill.. who is she?"
