Meet the Hooves' (Chapter Two)

The afternoon has arose from the morning. The sun shined down on Canterlot but it was still very cold during the winter. Carnelian was finally walking outside of the hospital with his wife Majestic after a week of recovery, and the new member of the Melody family. Octavia finally opened her eyes to be welcomed by the sun and the cold but it seemed she didn't mind the cold but the sun was what was bothering her the most. Carnelian covered her head with the blanket to protect her from the sun while she was lying silently in the filly carriage. They then started to stroll back to their home.

Once they got home Majestic and Octavia walked in but Carnelian stood outside too look at his home. He remembered his dream he had that night. He looked down both ends of the streets but nothing but the happy folks of Canterlot. Majestic looked at him through the door and questioned.

"Are you coming inside, or are you going to stay outside and the cold."

"........Yeah, I was just checking the roof on the house." Carnelian stated.

He started to walk inside, he saw Octavia trying to climb up the stairs. Majestic quickly pulled her up and took her into the kitchen. Carnelian walked up the stairs to the master bedroom to lie down on the bed because he was so tired and aching from sleeping in the hospital for a week. He silently started too fall asleep.

Back in the kitchen Majestic started too feed Octavia mashed carrots and started too think to herself.

"Why was he checking the roof, the roof looked okay to me."

She shrugged and continued too feed Octavia on the filly feeding chair. Octavia then started to laugh while the mashed carrots were in her mouth. She spitted all the carrots out of her mouth all over Majestic. Majestic started to try to calm her down so she continue you eating but she was laughing so hard. Majestic started too look toward where Octavia was staring out too, to notice the neighbors cat standing in the back window ceil. Majestic started to smile and looked at Octavia too say.

"That's a cat Octavia, do you like cats."

Octavia just responded with gribbles and grumbles but she had her hooves wide open and stretching toward the cat. The cat had black fur with a large white spot on its bottom and a smaller one on her face and she belonged too the Hooves Family right next door. They also had a filly but she was a little bit more slow than others, her name was Derpy. Once Octavia got done eating she put a blanket around Octavia and put her into the carriage and started to walk next door. She knocked on the door of the Hooves' household, and as they answered they were happy too see who it was.

"Majestic your back and healthy!" The Mare Hooves shouted.

"And we notice you have a new child to greet us with as well!" The Stallion Hooves followed with.

"Oh it is so good too see you both as well." She replied.

She took Octavia inside and brought her out to meet the Hooves's.

"Octavia meet the Hooves', this is Mist Hooves" Majestic said while Majestic was pointing at the Stallion Light Blue Pegasus with a brown mane with an hour glass in his eye, wearing a vest.

"Now Octavia meet Lighting Hooves." Majestic said while Majestic was pointing at the the white mare with a blonde mane and had her hair fixed up."

"Please too meet you Octavia now I think it's time for you to meet the last member of our family." Mist replied.

They turned around to grab Derpy off of the the chair behind them and set her on the floor while Octavia was being set down by Majestic. They sat down on the chairs and started a conversation while Derpy and Octavia started too play.

Back to Carnelian because he had another dream. This time in the dream he dreamed he was on a cloud and saw Octavia on another cloud, but Octavia was playing the Cello and she was grown up. She started to sing a melody but he couldn't hear the lyrics really well. He could only make out, "left me!" and it sounded like she was upset, but very assertive at the same time. A flash of white light blinds Carnelian and Carnelian woke up but not in fear but instead in thought.

"Left me, who left Octavia in the dream!" Carnelian thought to himself.

Walking down the stairs yelling for Majestic, and noticing she wasn't in the household and neither was Octavia. He just started too think she went out with Octavia too show her around, so he started to walk to the kitchen to get a snack and after getting something from the fridge he walked into his study to do some research on his dreams.

Hours and hours of reading he became very irritated because he couldn't even find a lead to what he has witnessed. Not even a slightest trace, so he started his way to the local library, when he got there he tried too open the doors just to find out that they were locked. He put his face up to the glass door to see there was no book inside. He was confused but knew he couldn't do his studies. He started to walk to the market to grab some food, while he was shopping he heard some pony very familiar calling his name.

"Carnelian, guess who?" the mysterious pony asked.

Carnelian turned around to notice Fairy Scratch and her child Vinyl and Carnelian smiled.

"I see your out of the hospital, how about your family?" Fairy asked.

"They are most likely home right now, if you like you can come home with us and join us that play date you promised us."

Fairy started to think and agreed, and followed Carnelian home. Once they started to walk by the the Hooves house, Majestic looked out the window too see Fairy, Vinyl, and her husband holding a basket of food. She quickly ran too the door to yell for Carnelian.

"Carnelian....Fairy over here!" Majestic yelled.

Carnelian looks over and saw his wife hollering for him. Fairy and Carnelian started to gallop too the door. Fairy was introduced to the Hooves and the fillies had another friend to play with so Fairy joined them in the room and set Vinyl down to join in the fun with the others.
