"Your father and I don't want you out in this urban neighborhood. We have millions upon millions of dollars and you still want to work? I just don't understand. You could be with me and my symphony, we go to Europe next week. Or even with your father? He said he could always use your help with his business. But if you really want to do this then fine, just look after the house because we will be both gone on our own business for two months." 
Just how my life was, I always heard it repeated in my head..over and over. But I didn't want to be that guy, living in my parents home having butlers walking around asking me for my every need. Yeah I know, whats wrong with me? But when you have had this done all your life...you tend to forget what the real world is like. But I here I am, a local instrument shop about a good 30 miles from home...perfect. I could also say I loved it here since my mom knew a lot about instruments and my father knew business it was good for me..and the shop owner. But the thing was, I was more into all kinds of music, not just one genre. The new thing that seemed to be hitting the world was this...dubstep? I'm not sure where it came from or who invented it but it was very catchy, some of it anyway. 
But tonight was slow, maybe 10 customers came in tonight and it was going on closing hours here in like 30 minutes. Jeff was doing his usual, going in the back and playing 'smoke on the water'. That song was really getting annoying, I was considering hitting him with a drum stick but he was a really cool guy.
Well the night was over, typical 10:30 time and it was time to go. Jeff didn't live too far from here so he walked most of the time. The owner didn't come in, her daughter was having twins so she wouldn't be back for another week at most. And for me I drove home, it was a nice drive and I loved it. It gave me time to listen to new music I would hear about when people would walk in, Metallica was the big talk today so I decided to listen to some of their songs. Nothing like a good head bang while driving on a empty freeway. 
Being the lead foot I am it never took long to get home, what a disappointment. Anyone who knew where I lived knew they were close when you could see the huge wooden gates, automatic ones at that. And just like every night, put in the password the gate opens and off into the drive way. But I was being lazy and decided to park not even half way up the drive, I just wanted to go to sleep...boring day. Alphonzo did his usual greeting and would ask about my day, but before I could respond something caught my eye...something I have never seen before. 
"Alphonzo? you didn't happen to plant something in the yard did you?". 
He shook his head and leaned over to look as well. He cleared his throat before going on to talk. "Whatever it is...its breathing.". He looked alarmed as he power walked through the plants, something that no one was suppose to do, but I honestly didn't care. "Horses? No, no..smaller than a horse." His mumbling was confusing but getting next to him I could see what he was talking about, they were horses..but way to small. "I believe the term is a filly, correct?" 
I wasn't sure myself but he gave a nod, so I guess I was right. 
"If it is fine, shall I bring them in?". I couldn't believe he asked me that, I loved animals...but cats those things were evil in my eyes. 
"Yes, Yes! get them in, I will call around and see if anyone knows about this. If you could please, place them on my bed." With that Alphonzo did so, but I was just baffled on how two of them could be just here. It really bothered me.
Getting inside finally I sat in the dinning room just pondering. Alphonzo knew this bugged me yet he didn't ask. Just how on earth could animals get in our gate? Something didn't add up but right now my concern was about the health of those two. According to Alphonzo they looked healthy, but were sleeping. 
"Have you ever seen one with blue hair? I mean that is different..and it sure isn't natural." 
He didn't say anything but give the same look of confusion. It was getting late too, so I would deal with this in the morning...perhaps even call off so I could find their homes. Either way they were both in my room, so I should probably be careful and not wake them. Giving my good night to Al, I made my way to my room seeing the two filly's still asleep on the ends of the bed. I wanted desperately to pet one of them but it would seem rude of me. Getting into my bed as slowly as I could I gave them a quiet good night before passing out.
I don't know what made me sleep well last night but it felt amazing! In the past month I could never sleep, maybe it was the good deed I did last night? Speaking of which where were they? But before I could get out of bed I saw one, she was sitting near my window looking out at the yard, was awfully quiet too. I didn't bother to say anything or even get out of bed, but I did reach for my phone. Sending a quick text out to work they were fine with me being gone for today, it was for a good reason after all. But where was the second one? I didn't see it near the window or even on the bed. I didn't kick it off by accident did I? This was heart racing, how could something so small and furry just be gone? That is until I looked at my computer, she had been sitting in the chair, her back facing me. Good, they are both accounted for. Ah, better make use of this time and go put some flyers up? 
Getting out of bed and stretching I turn to look at the two, now the eyes creeped me out...for the blue haired one anyway. They were big and just well bright, but they never made a sound. Maybe they were scared, calmly I spoke out to them both. "G'morning, I'm not sure what happened last night or how you both got into the yard, but I will make sure I get you both to the right home." 
Of course there wasn't a sound, but I mean they weren't going to talk back so what was the point. The small grey one seemed to just stare at me, wasn't sure what that was about but it was cute in a strange way. But I was sure they were hungry, so I decided to take them out to the backyard. There wasn't anything but flowers and grass, but they loved it so I was fine with it. Leaving them be Alphonzo stopped and talked to me.
"Good morning, I called around to a few local farms but I have gotten the same response each time.  In fact it seems to me that maybe they could have wondered  in some how?" The shaking of his head made it clear too, there was no possible way they could have gotten in. But he continued on. "What do you plan on doing with these two? I mean we don't own a ranch." That was true but he already knew what I was going to say. 
"I will keep them two, after all these little furballs need a good home. Besides we have more than enough room. Will just take time until I can think of something else for these two."

The hunt for the owners really came to an end in after a first whole month, no one could really figure out where they came from. Alphonzo said he had gotten a call from my mother, she stated that they bought a house in Europe. I guess the reason was for her and my father since he would be taking his business world wide. What made this better was the fact that they would be gone for almost ever. Not only were they gone and didn't have to worry about me, I made some small friends.
I just never gave them a name. But time passed and they grew, a lot more bigger than when I first found them. In fact I had to carry them with two hands now...but it was really never necessary since they could walk on their own. Al tells me they were just about pony size, and whatever I was feeding them was doing the trick. A joke he would say every once in a while. There was something about the roses that they loved and it was funny to see the blue haired one just try to eat seven at once. These days were just endless, getting off of work and coming home to see them following Alphonzo around as he went on rants about the family history and what not. Turns out the dubstep genre was really taking over and it was being played a lot at work. Before we all went to bed I would play a little in my room, one seemed to love it..the other..not so much.
"Hey...HEY! Come on get up! Its Saturday! y'know the best day of the week!?". Odd, never had a dream about Saturday before. 
"See I told you, we are better off not talking he won't wake up either way...pointless." Now this was weird, who's voice was that? But something was pouncing on my chest, more like pushing down..it slightly hurt. Opening one eye I saw the blue haired one again...but she was talking? No, that's physically impossible no animal can talk full sentence. 
"Oh good your up, look i'm kind of starving and I can't really get outside by jumping out the window so if you don't mind that is.." 
Dear lord, she was really talking and I had no idea what to say or even think. But I jumped up putting my back against the wall. 
"Wait! when could you ever talk? there is no way!" I wanted these answers, it was mind blowing. The grey one spoke instead, having a more calm and sophisticated manner. 
"I do apologize, as you can see we both can talk...Well we could for quite some time. We just didn't know how to go about it. I do believe we could explain but it may just be a little complex." 
Now my heart was racing, palms sweaty...I thought I was going to have a heart attack. But I dared not ask any questions, but to let them out in the yard like usual. I couldn't keep my hands from shaking...just how? Alphonzo on the other hand was intrigued, it turns out he thought he had heard them before when they would wonder around...his suspicions were right. 
"Al. what do I do about this?". He sat at the table sitting in his good well mannered posture as always, "Nothing, do nothing at all. Ever since they have come around in your life you have had a smile on your face. Keep them, and I will not speak a word of this to your parents. Just enjoy the company." 
He was right, I was happy and having them around kept my mind off the stress of other things going on. A thump through off my concentration though, the blue haired one again.
"Hey! I hope you don't mind the roses being gone they were just awesome!". A laugh struck Al. But I couldn't blame him they were pretty unique, But before this night was over I wanted to talk to them maybe figure out a name and what they liked to do.
