Chapter 4; Filly's Dream & The Fumbling Mare

    Her name is Breezy Halberd, she was a Pegasus in a city of unicorns. 

    Her makeshift settle bag rubbed uncomfortably against her stormy gray coat, her long, white, and blue main kept sliding in front of her light green eyes. Her parents had abandoned with only a name. She knew she sounded bitter, but it was sadly true. They dropped her off at the dead of night at a cut-rate orphanage. Day in and out she would struggle to survive against all the unicorn bustards, well not all of them were bustards, just most of them. That's where she learned that she wasn't the only unlucky foal, even the rich abandoned their children. That was one good thing for her, her parents were just dead beats. Yes, there were other Pegasus and Earth bound ponies, but they were out number and quickly subjected. Not her! She wanted to be top of the heap, she had big dreams and the orphanage was no place for her to make them come true. She had to run away.

    She gave a smile of satisfaction. Today turned out to be just perfect for my plans. She thought to herself. "I thought that the wedding would have caused enough distraction for me to get the ingredients I need," She snickered with a devilish smile. "Buck yah, the changelings were better than I could hope for. I got all I could ever need and I didn't even need to cover my tracks because the Changelings will be blamed for everything that I took. Can't ask for a better opportunity."

    She snaked around the mason tunnels to her home base. It was a little out cove with a canvass covered lean-to and a cooking fire. She placed a large pot filled with water on the fire, while waiting for the water to boil she organized her ingredients. "So, everything will be ready. Just need that old book."
    Slipping into the her lean-to and pulled the old book she had, liberated, from the Canterlot liberally. Flipping threw the old yellow pages carefully as not to damage them, until she found the page she wanted.  "Ah, The Potion of Maturate. Just what I need." Piercing said with a smile.

    As the waters started to boil she pulled her ingredients out of her settle bag. Several jars of various things powders, liquids, plant and animal body parts. She read the ingredients off to herself, measure each of the ingredients and dropped them into the boiling water. She watched the water changed not only color but viscosity and change in viscosity, she read the book to make sure she was still doing everything right. She stirred the potion slowly and continued her work with fence determination. I'm almost done, mere moments away! She cheered to herself, internally.
    That's when she got sloppy, she didn't noticed another pony come up behind her.
    "What are you doing little filly?" A voice from behind her asked.

    Breezy turned around she could see a unicorn staring back at her. Her big, bright orange eye and equally round glasses reflected her, transfixing her in place. Piercing did not know what do. Why can't I move She quickly thought to herself. She tried to pull her eyes away from the unicorn's eyes, but it was impossible for some reason. She was being held there by some force, those eyes! So soothing, calming, drawing.
    "Why can't I take my eyes off you? What is so drawing about you?" The unicorn asked her. Snapping her back to reality
    "Don't know? Now leave!" The unicorn continued to look at her, she tried to shake her. "Get the buck out of her and leave me alone!" Piercing shouted. Those eyes quickly had her again, transfixing her pulling at her mind.
    "Wow, you got a mouth on you. Nothing I've haven't heard before." The unicorn said still with a puzzled look on her face.
    Breezy knew she had to do something and do it fast. But she couldn’t move like a spell was holding her in place by those eyes. The unicorn came closer to her, Breezy tried to back herself up, but she couldn't do it fast enough. The unicorn came closer to her she tried to get away, but as soon as she did the unicorn tripped. Breezy jumped to one side as the unicorn tumbled over the fire and knocking over her potion. The potion and all it’s remains drained into the near by watery channel. When she came to a rolling stop Breezy noticed that he main and tail had started to catch on fire.

     Acting fast, as if by command, she threw a blanket over the unicorn and started to pat her down to put out the fire. When she was sure that the fire was out she moved away from the unicorn. She was only slightly singed nothing more. Why did I do that? Breezy though. Yah, know she doesn't seem dangerous.
    The Unicorn had gotten up now and was shaking herself. "Thank," She said with a smile.
"My name is Charming Aspen and I followed you down here. What is your name?"
    Breezy was transfixed by those eyes again. " Breezy Halberd." Answered as if by command she could not disobey.

    Charming noticed the book and walked over to it. "The Potion of Maturate, why would you want to make that? I mean if you used that if forces the hands of time forwards and there's now turning it back. Your time as a foal is to teach what you need when you are a mare. What do you want to be, Breezy?"
    The filly didn't answer her. Charming spoke up. "I wanted to be Head Mistress of Celestia's School for Gifted Unicorns, I mean I know that Celetia's the real Head Mistress but she always has another Unicorn running it for her. I guess I would be called The Dean of Academic Affairs."
    The spell was letting up or was she getting use to it? "I want to be a Weather Boss!" She snapped at Charming.
    "A Weather Boss?" Charming asked.
    "A Weather Boss is a Pegasus that helps runs Cloudsdale Weather Factories. There are Five Bosses; Winter Boss, Summer Boss, Autumn Boss, Spring Boss and The Four Seasons Boss. Like the Winter Boss runs all the weather and its aspects for Winter. Every single aspect, timing, preparation for special event and so forth. Same goes for Summer Boss, Spring Boss and Fall Boss. The  Four Seasons  Boss runs every single thing, the factories and the four other Bosses, every thing. That's what I want to be, The Four Seasons Boss." She thought about her dream and her eyes seemed to dazzle.
    "I didn't know that there were still Pegasus that wanted to do that. Most want to be racers or Wonder Bolts." Charming mused.
    "Racing OK , but without the Weather Bosses then there would be no racing or any food or anything for that matter, there would only be Chaos," She looked at Charming. "Did you get your dream?" The eyes weren’t holding any more she could run, but now she didn’t want to. She wanted to know about this unicorn.
    Charming shook her head. "No, I'm only a teacher at the school, but I love my job. I like training young fillies, like you, reached their potential."
    "Oh," Breezy looked down at the ground still wishing that the potions was not gone. "That's a bummer."
    "Some dreams come true, Some dreams die, Some dreams fade, Some drams change, and Some come back to life. I found that I liked teaching more than being a bureaucrat maybe later I'll try and become The Dean of Academic Affairs." Charming's smile widened. "Right now, I think I want to help you make your dream comes true."
    Breezy looked at her skeptically. "Why?" She felt comfortable now no longer scared.
    Charming seemed to be in thought. "Well, too many Pegasus are  obsessed with racing and soon who would be left to take care of the weather. If you truly like weather then you should go for it but you can't do it alone."
    "Yah, I know that, but you didn't answer me. Why do you want to help, it should be no skin of your snout what I want to do!" Breezy snapped at the unicorn.
    "I see a lot of myself in you and helping you will help me vicariously bring my dream to reality." Charming looked in the little filly’s eyes again. The two could no brake the there stair. "Most of all I want you in my family, will you join me and my family?" The two not wanting to look away from each other.
    "I can't say no to you," Breezy cited in an almost faraway voice. "I want to be apart of your family." She said flatly, still looking the mare in the eyes.
    The two embraced each other and  they wanted to stay that way. They could feel a warmth, a feeling not of interment nature but of a familiar nature. The feeling of mother and daughter. They broke their embrace and smiled at each other. "Lets, go and see my brothers and father. I think they'll like a new little filly in the family. My brother will just love their new little niece."
    "They're into little fillies?"
    "Sort of," Charming smiled sheepishly and scratch the back of her head. "I think it's more like they like to protect mares and fillies but... I'm not sure." Charming said hesitantly.
    "So, how many brothers do you have?"
    "Four and my father, so more like five at times. But now there's seven in our family because of you. My little filly." The two smiled at each other.
    The Pegasus filly smiled back and replied. "Thanks, mom."
