I played with Star Bright and Joy, while Breeze watched me giggling and laughing. We where playing Hide and Seek again me looking and hidding at every place I could hide while Star and Joy look for me. Apparently I was a very good hider, rather that or Star's a horrible finder it would take him a whole hour before he could find me if it wasn't for Joy who found me most of the time.
After a while though I started to feel sleepy, yawning and rubbing my eyes, "Aww are you getting sleepy Cloud?" Breeze cooed getting up from the rocking and coming next to me, "Do you need a nap?"
"No, no sweepy," I protested weekly not realizing the way I childishly said it or the fact I rubbed my eyes and yawned again, "no sweepy."
Breeze smiled and picked me up over her shoulder, she started rubbing my back, "I think you are sleepy, come on I think it's time for bed." she said passing Star and Joy and going over to the crib she laid me down.
I would have protested again but as soon as I was laid in the crib I started to feel even more tired and unable to do so, so without further protest and opening my mouth accepting the pacifier Breeze gave me and starting suckling on it, I rolled my head to the side closing my eyes and falling asleep.
Breeze and the others walked out the room closing the door behind them, Breeze looks at Star Bright and Joy, "Well its getting late so I must bid you two goodnight."
"Goodnight Mrs. Breeze." Joy said happily as she watch Breeze walk down the hall to her room, Joy looked back to see Star Bright walking in the other direction and she runs up next to him.
"Hey."
"Hmm oh hey Joy where are you going?" Star asked as they both walked down the hall together.
"Your going to bed right? Sense where going to the same place I thought we could get to know each other better." Joy said.
There was a part of the mansion where those who stayed there they lived in dorms, as true it was that both Star and Joy was going to the same place there are two different dorms one for maids and the other for butlers that where separated a few halls apart but for now they can enjoy a conversation before they had to separate.
"Okay so what do you want to talk about?"
"Well first may I say you where pretty good in there with Cloud," Joy complemented, "the way he reacted when you finally found him was so cute!"
Star Bright chuckled, "Yeah I only found him one time though, you found him most of the time and besides I think it was cuter when you found him." he said starting to plush from the last thing he said but luckily Joy didn't notice.
"Aww thanks, I love kids I wish I could have a foal like Mrs. Breeze." she said with a hint of desire.
"Why don't you then?"
"Well the first obvious reason is that I don't have a stallion of my own and the other reason that makes It impossible for me to have a foal is like Mrs. Breeze I'm infertile." she said the last part sadly and bowing her head.
Star was excited by the information of her being single but when he heard the last part he was shock, "Y-you cant have a child." he said sounding just as sad for her.
Joy nodded, "Yes it's sad but I don't dwell on sad things like that, the only thing you can do is move on and try to be happy." she said her bubbly personality returning.
Star smiled, "That sounds like a good idea."
"Yep, so Star Bright can you tell me a few things about yourself?"
"Hmm well where should I start?"
"How about you tell me about you and Cloud I'm curious about where you come from?"
"Well me and Cloud been friends sense we where in high school, you know we hanged out had a few laughs, I remember this one time when we went out to this party we partied till we literally dropped I still don't know what happened that night but when I woke up I had someponies number."
They both laughed as they walked down the hall to the dorm enjoying each others company.

I walked through dreamland again in search of the young foal. When I found him I walked up to him, "Hey Kid!" I called and he looks up at me.
"Oh hey mister your back."
"Yeah I'm back, now tell me where's my Mom?" I asked.
"I'll teww you but my Dada wants to talk to you first." the foal said.
"Well to bad I don't want to talk to him, now tell me where my Mom is!" I demanded getting impatient.
"How about you shut up and listen." said a voice behind me.
I look back and see a full grown stallion with a black mane and white coat and the serious expression on his face. I turn around and scowl, "Look I don't have time for this just tell me where my mother is."
"Okay but first your going to listen to what I got to say, then I'll tell you where your Mother is."
I growled, "Err fine what do you want?"
"Good, now let me introduce myself I am Cumulous and this is Nimbus," Cumulous said picking up Nimbus who had crawled next to him and putting him on his back, "You know why where here, I beg you please make my wife happy again I can rest easier in peace knowing I didn't leave her alone."
I look at both parent and foal sad faces and bowed my head, "I'm sorry, I've been really considering It really I have but I just cant do it, I cant give up my life." I replied.
Cumulous scowled, "Are you sure it's not something else or maybe your lying to yourself?!"
I look at him with a raised brow, "What are you talking about?"
"Maybe it's not your own life that's stopping you, maybe it's the one of the one you love and lost?"
"...You leave my mother out of this." I said with a little venom In my words.
"But am I right, you feel as though if you except another pony in your life in place of your mother you believe your betraying her or am I wrong?"
I was about to say something but it never came out and I bowed my head. Cumulous was right when I lost my mother I promised myself when I was young after I was sent to an orphanage that I would never get adopted and have some stranger care for me. I avoided ponies and became so distant from everypony that no one noticed me but I didn't care I only cared about my mother.
"I understand you miss your mother but please for Breeze?" Cumulous pleaded.
I look up at Cumulous and sighed, "I don't know....maybe if I see my mother again I'll think about it."
"Very well then, the next time you fall asleep we will have your Mother."

I slowly opened my eyes staring up at the mobile and yawning, I looked around my room then the door opens and Breeze walks in and comes over to the crib looking down at me with a smile on her face.
"Hello Cloud did you sleep well?" Breeze cooed as she picked me up and cradling me.
"Yeah I swept wike a baby," I said as I stretched out my body, "so what we do today Mama?"
"Well first lets change that dirty diaper of yours."
I sniffed the air and blushed when I finally noticed a slight squishy feeling in the back of my diaper, "Umm yeah wets do that first."
Breeze giggled and carrying me to the changing table she laid me down and started changing my diaper. Opening it she removed it then baling it up she threw it into a trash bin, then getting some baby wipes she started cleaning my bottom until it was clean from any filth, then finally getting a new diaper and sliding it under me she got the baby powder and sprinkled it onto the diaper and my flank she pinned it on.
"Okay so now that your all cleaned up do you want to watch Trotworth work?"
I thought about it for a minute before asking, "Is Staw Bwight gonna be there?"
"Yes."
"I want to go, but can you feed me first? I'm kinda hungwy."
Breeze smiled, "Of coarse sweetie." she said before she sat into the rocking chair and I started suckling on her milk.
I thought about Cumulous and Nimbus and what Cumulous said, I'm not sure what I'm going to decide but I'm going to get to see my mother after such a long time and then maybe I can decide...I wonder what's going to happen to Star today?
