"Mooooom. Do I really have to come help you deliver these eggs?" Mist Twister groans under the weight of the basket filled with eggs, his mother shoots him a look. "sorry..." he mutters, looking to the ground.
"yes, you do. I can't carry three baskets!" Flutter Shy flutters her wings, showing off the two baskets of eggs she is already carrying.
"Mom? When will dad be home?" Mist Twister asks his mother while walking just behind her.
Flutter shy stops abruptly.
"Mom?" Mist Twister shrugs the basket off his back and onto the ground lightly. "mom are you oka-" Mist Twister freezes when he sees a tear drop from his mother's face and hits the ground, wetting the dirt beneath it. "Mom? Whats wrong?" Mist Twister starts walking up beside his mother, but her hoof is placed infront of him, stopping him.
"I can take the baskets. you go home, I'll be home in 10 minutes, go to your room, okay?" Flutter Shy looks to the ground, not looking up.
"O-okay, mom..." Mist Twister says as he backs up and walks away.

Mist Twister sits on his bed in his room, looking up at the ceiling. He can hear his mother speaking to Rainbow Dash, only hearing mumbles, and un-coherent sobs. "I need water, I've been up here for an hour." He says as he slides off his bed and walks to his door, he sneaks down to the first floor, passing the door to the living room, where his mother and Rainbow Dash are talking, he hears his mother speaking quietly.
"How can I tell him?" Flutter Shy sobs into a pillow.
"I know its hard, but you just have to-" Rainbow Dash grunts "Sorry, my baby kicked." Flutter shy sobs more. "Flutters, you just have to tell him straight up." Flutter Shy sobs even louder.
"H-how?" Flutter Shy squeaks out between sobs. "how do I tell my son his f-father is d... Dead!?"
Mist Twister's breath stops, he sinks to the ground, face paling. "h-how...?" He whispers quietly to himself. "H-how is h-he dead...?"
"Mist Twister?" Rainbow Dash slides open the door and sits down beside the young colt. "How much did you hear?"
"h-he.. Hes d-dead..." Mist Twister stares blankly at the wall.
"Oh, most of it, I see." Rainbow Dash pats Mist Twisters head. "It will get better soon, trust me, Little guy."
"H-how...?" Mist Twister craines his head to look at Rainbow Dash.
"How what?" Rainbow Dash looks at Mist Twister.
"How did he die...?" Mist Twister starts sobbing again.
Rainbow Dash sighs. "Maybe thats something you should ask your mother." Rainbow Dash gets up.
Mist Twister gets up shakily and walks into the living room, he sits down beside his mother. "mom?"
"He cheated on me. When the lady he was cheating on me with found out he was married, she killed him." Flutter Shy breaks into a heap of sobs.
"W-what...?" Mist Twister freezes again, his vison starts to blur and darken, untill its all black.

Mist Twister sits at his desk in class a day later, silently staring down at his desk. "Hey, Mist Twister." He looks up to see Crystal Design standing infront of his desk.
"Crystal Design?" Mist Twister says, surprised.
"Just Crystal, Darling." Crystal Design says with a sad look on her face. "I heard about your father's death. I am truely so sorry, Darling."
"Oh, Thanks..." Mist Twister says, looking back down at his desk.
"Look back up, Darling." Crystal Design says.
Mist Twister looks up to see Crystal Design standing right beside him, her face close to his own. "It will get better, okay?"
"Okay." Mist Twister says saddly. Crystal Design give him a small kiss on the cheek and walks away to her desk, Mist Twisters face goes beet red.
"Hello, Class!" Raspery trots happily into the class.
"Hello, Ms Raspery!" The class shouts collectively.
"hello, Ms Raspery..." Mist Twister mumbles late.
"Now class, open to the page where we last left off at page 38..." Raspery trots over to the chalk board.
"Psst, Mist Twister, here!" a slip of paper falls onto his desk, he carefully picks it up and reads it under his desk.
Hey, Mist Twister. Soooo I saw what happend, are you two dating now? :) -Light
He groans as he pulls out his pencil from his bag, digging though his sketch books. He quietly lifts the paper onto his desk and scribles a reply.
No. Well. I don't think so.
He pokes Light and hands her the paper under her desk. She opens it, reads it and writes back, she hands him the paper back, he opens it under his desk and reads it.
Hah, well. I bet you will soon!
Mist Twister blushes profusely and folds up the note, but when he looks up, he sees Raspery standing impatiently infront of his desk. "Mist Twister. Were you passing notes?" She asks, tapping her hoof on the ground.
"uh. No?" Mist Twister tries to lie, but ultemently fails.
"Hand it over." She holds her hoof infront of him, he passes it over as he looks over to Light. She looks mortified. Lets see what you think is so important!" she unfolds the paper and starts to read outloud; "Mist Twister, So i saw what happend. Are you two dating now? No. Well. I don't think so. Hah. Well. I bet you will soon. So mist Twister, who is it?"
"No one!" Mist Twister starts blushing even more, when a laugh calls out from 2 seats down.
"Its me." Crystal Design says inbetween laughter. "and you know what? Sure, Why not go out on a date, Mist Twister?"
"Huh? Oh. y-yeah..." Mist Twister stutters, his whole face red.
"see you after school at sugar cube corner?" Crystal Design asks.
"Uh huh..." Mist Twister whispers out, face getting redder.
