			Chapter 3 Roses
Tornado and Whirlwind were slowly walking down the street. They didn't have to go slow but they wanted to. They were enjoying the scenery even if it was just buildings and roads.
These two must have looked strange. They were dirty and their manes weren't very fancy either. Every other pony on the  this bustling Manehatten road were either wearing fancy designer saddles or at least looked like they had just taken a bath.
They were walking past a street vendor when a noise drew Tornado's attention away from were she was going. She bumped into a pony with a red mane carrying roses. Tornado fell with a thud. She looked up to she the red maned pony's face full of concern.
"Are you alright?" the mare asked putting out a hoof to help her up. "Ya. Thanks." Tornado said getting back on her hooves. Whirlwind sat and watched the exchange between this mare and his mother.
"I'm Roseluck." The mare said with a smile. "I'm actually from Ponyville but I came to visit my cousin." "I'm Tornado and this is my son." Tornado relied pointing to Whirlwind. "Well I'll be on my way." said Roseluck turning to leave. She suddenly stopped mid turn. "I know!" she exclaimed. "Here!' She held out a rose to Tornado. Tornado stood still for a moment then took the rose. "Thanks." said Tornado a smile forming on her face."You too." said Roseluck handing one to Whirlwind. Then without another word turned and left leaving the two ponies dumbfounded.
When Tornado and Whirlwind got home they placed their roses in a single cup filled with rain water. They went about their normal routine eating supper, washing the dishes, then sleeping. But one thing was different. That one thing was the smile on Tornado's face as she drifted to sleep.
