Chapter 13 rewrite! We're getting close to all-new territory!
“Thanks for the help in packing all of this stuff,” Orange Box said to Flutterwonder. “And thanks for taking the time to listen to me again, sis.”
The older pegasus looked at the younger one. “I couldn’t stay mad at you forever, Orange. We’re sisters, right?”
Orange cracked a soft grin. “Was it your coltfriend that made you give in, or Hazy?”
Fluttsy laughed. “Well, if I have to be honest, it was Firewire. He didn’t think that we should be fighting at all, and said that it’d hurt Mom’s feelings if we kept it up. Even if you hate her, Orange, she still loves you and it hurts her to….” A stare from the gray pegasus shut the yellow one up.
“Look, I thought we agreed we wouldn’t talk about that anymore,” Orange said plainly.
“But Mom—”
“Give it a rest, Fluttsy. My mind is made up: I want nothing to do with her anymore. I love Dad, and I will always be there for him, just as he was always there for us. But her…I can’t forgive. I can’t ever forgive,” the baker replied. “Maybe it’s wrong and inequine of me, but I just can’t bring myself to forgive, and I just can’t comprehend how any of you can.”
“Because she’s our Mom and we love her, just as she loves us,” Fluttsy replied. “And I’m not going to push you on that – I promised Hazy and Splashie I wouldn’t, but…well, nevermind. Let’s just keep working.”
Orange seemingly perked up at the change of subject. “Besides, we have all these CARE packages we’ve got to get wrapped up before the Red Cross gets here to pick up the first wave.”
“Tell me about it: we need relief supplies sent to Cloudsdale on the double, and I’m getting every pegasus I know to help me carry everything over.”
“I know how you feel, sis,” Orange admitted. “I just…I don’t have time to talk about…well, other things, you know?”
The look on Flutterwonder’s face was inquisitive. “Somepony looks a little guilty….”
“I….” Orange gave her sister an odd look. “Did you ever do something that you regret? Something that you feel can’t be taken back?”
“No, why?”
The younger pegasus shook her head. “Nevermind,” she added. “Let’s just get this package done so we can start cooking the next batch of food they’ll need.”
Heh, great. Now that it's almost time for new chapters to come out I get a mountain of assigned summer reading.
