Desert Wind's Fables and other Short Stories

by Phoenix Heart 27


First Intermission

Midnight stopped reading when she heard the front door open. The three fillies were then met with the, rather wet forms of Melody's mama and baby sister.

"Hoo nelly! Girls I am glad you aren't out there. It's raining cats and dogs out!", Moondance said as she removed her raincoat and Starlight's umbrella hat.

The two fillies giggled as Melody helped her sister out of her stroller and onto the floor. Starlight Sonata simply giggled and tried to pull her big sister's wing.

"Hey now." Melody started before making small gestures with her wings and fore hooves. (She asked in Sign language "Do you want to fly Starry?") to which Starlight nodded as she again pulled at her sister's wing, then pointed to her wings.

"Fly! Mel fly! Star fly too!" Starlight said in broken half equestrian half toddler talk.

Moondance smiled at her daughters as she went into the kitchen to fix lunch. Midnight levitated a sign book over and after a few attempts she managed to ask Starlight what she wanted for lunch. Starlight, being a toddler only made out the words 'eat' and 'food' which was good enough because she stood in take off position and squealed in happiness.

"Appas! Appas please!", Starlight squealed as she signed 'Apple' repeatedly.

Desert got up from her seat to go help Moondance fix lunch while Midnight, Melody and Starlight stayed in the living room. Midnight watched as the two pegasi floated around the room before she joined in by levitating herself and the three friends flew and flipped around. Pretty soon Desert and Moondance returned with daffodile sandwitches and hay fries for the fillies and mare and cinnamon flavored applesauce for the foal. Soon everyone sat down to a nice lunch.
