Wind-Filled Sky
"How about you?" Cotton waited for a few seconds without response before looking to her right. Solid was looking across the orphanage's attached park at a distant yellow pegasus. "You really like her, hm?"
Solid shook his head. "Yeah... She's nice." His head dipped down, "And not-to-mention, strong."
"Good luck, Solid." Aqua stood up. "She's a hard one to catch."
He sighed, "I figured."
Silence stretched on as Aqua approached. When the filly got close, Cotton spoke out to her. "Hi Aqua. How'd you know where we were?"
Aqua nodded her head upwards. "Hey, guys. Oh, I could just hear you two talking. Recognized the voices and all that, y'know?"
Cotton deadpanned. "Aqua, we were a few hundred hooves from you."
An eyebrow raise from the filly. "Well, yeah. I couldn't hear what y'all were saying, only recognize the sound."
"That's weird." Looking to her side at Solid, she continued, "That's weird, right?"
Solid hummed and looked up in thought. "Only a little, really."
Cotton tilted her head. "Huh?"
"Some of the higher-ups are pretty good at recognizing voices..."
Aqua interjected, "Oh yeah, that'd make sense."
Now looking at the filly, "Huh?"
"You're sounding a bit like a broken record there, Cotton." She nodded. "But yeah, if there's a lot of chaos going on during... let's say some scuffle, you gotta be able to pick out the important voices in a crowd. I've gotten a lot better at it since..." Aqua looked down. "Yeah..." Cotton closed the distance and hugged the filly. There was a quiet yelp before Aqua buried her face in Cotton's mane. A muffled, "Thanks."
A crack of thunder went off in the clouds above. Cotton's feathers rustled. It's going to rain. "We should probably head inside." Cotton pulled the filly up so she could climb onto her withers.
"Can we stay by the-" She shook her head. "On the front porch?" Aqua scaled the tower that is Cotton and nestled between her wings.
That feels really nice... "Alright, but why?"
"I wanna listen to the rain..." Solid beckoned Cotton to follow him back. "Does it look like it's going to be heavy?"
Cotton began to trot to the entrance of the orphanage. "Yeah. I can feel it."
"You can?"
"Yeah. In my wings." She ruffled her wings, brushing them against Aqua's sides.
"That just a you thing or a pegasus thing?"
"A pegasus thing."
"Huh. Neat."
At the end of their walk, Cotton sat down just outside the front door, looking out at the rain. Solid stood behind them, but after some time, he sat down next to the two.
None of them cared to say a word as they listened to the rain.

I don't think I've ever heard 'unthought of ways' in regard to wishing good to someone. Thank you.
I love the drawing! It's good to finally see what the three of them look like.
11620802
Thanks! Felt it had been a little too long, so I had to make an appearance.
11620907
Do you know that meme that says "It's the kind of tired that sleep doesn't fix"?
Yeah. Still, Thank you.

I know I said I should probably give little Aqua a break... But fate (me) has plans for her in motion.
Sorry, Aqua.
11628997
Thanks! I'm definitely not as good at drawing as I used to be, so I'm glad you enjoy it.
Thanks for stopping by.

It's ok, your welcome!
Man, Aqua is tiny. Glad to see the drawing. Even reading descriptions it's so much easier for me to put a picture to names.
Listening to the rain is one of life’s simple pleasures. Unless you live in a flood zone.
A joke that's probably been made before but:
No one knows what it's like
To be the bad man
To be the sad man
Beyond Blind Eyes
Pick was worth the wait.
I'm liking the artwork and did I mention I dig the in-universe names for day's etc: grass day, grain day...
A chapter as comfy as it is tiny.

Children are small, and as pointed out by characters, she's smaller than even most.
I'm a visual/kinesthetic learner so this drawing even helped me visualize all characters better, even if they aren't in the drawing either.

You still can... You just need a really really really strong lifeguard tower... and a miracle.

I actually wasn't even aware of that song's existence until just now! It's funny just how close in names my story and that song's are. Maybe it's a coincidence...

I've wanted to draw them out for some time, but have always been too nervous to do it. Not only because I don't draw ponies, but also how long it's been since I drew anything with actual intent.
But motivation cares not for hesitance. And so, the drawing was made.
Thank you.

I'm glad to hear the names are well-received. I spent nearly two hours brainstorming more things on how to ground the story in reality. There are also a few other changes made, but they'll appear over time, not yet.
I want to avoid retconning anything ever, but this is one of those things I believe should be different.
11629983
Thanks! That's the feeling I wanted to convey, so it's good to hear ya got it. I still got it.

To be honest I think MLP is in many way's a hodge-podge of plenty of good ideas (and bad ones) not well excuted ,well, other's are handled very well. I could go on but, I haven't really watched the show. (I prefer fanfiction ,though, it can be weird sometimes!) One of the reason's I am writer.

Media is a weird and interesting thing. Sometimes it's beautiful, sometimes it hurts to look at. All we can do is hope to make a thing others can enjoy.
11661354
Yeah. I'll admit I'm not perfectly happy with the story, and it's far from done.
Aqua definitely isn't going through a good time. Life rarely has truly good times or truly bad times. I want to emulate a more real story than most despite my improficiency. I do intend for it to get better for her, though one might need luck to achieve those better times.
It also doesn't help that I tend to keep things vague and enigmatic. Not because I don't have the details, but because of the perspective choice.
But still, thanks for taking time out of your day for reading!
They weren't kidding, Aqua's mane and tail are really big, they even look bigger than Cotton's
