Papillon.
Naming and Bullet.
Previous ChapterNext ChapterWith the Summer Sun coming up, school was out for it's summer holiday which surprising was only a couple of weeks after the spring break. The group would spend most of it's hours at the former CMC club house. They were trying to figure out names for their little group, but with little success.
''What are we gonna name ourselves?'' asked Rainy, mostly to herself then to the foals around her.
Every pony that was in the group was there, with the exception of Dizzy, who had summer school which Derpy had applied her to, because the young filly had dyslexia, which meant she had a hard time learning.
Rainy, whilst she weren't expecting one got a answer. It was from Bookworm, surprising. The young alicorn had a bright smile on her face, which draw the attention of the twins, who blinked with curiosity.
''Girls, how about we name ourselves 'Papillon'?''
''What's 'Papillon'?'' asked Mel.
''Papillon is the french word for butterfly and comes from a greek word....'' stated Bookworm, forgetting that she would be the only one to care. ''And I thought it was cute!''
''Who agrees with 'Papillon'?'' asked Rainy, who was stood on the pedestal for some reason.
She got a raised hoof from everypony there, even a periwinkle one which was soon revealed to be Dizzy, who had just gotten out of summer school for the day. She was still bouncing with joy even if she hated school.
''Then it's settled. Papillon is our group's name!''
''It truly is a prefect name, isn't it, Mel darling.'' said Harm, with a smile.
''Yea, but it had expected nothing less if Bookie picked it.'' replied Mel, giving a side smile to Bookworm who blushed.
''Wait, Bookie picked the name?!'' asked Dizzy, falling in on them somehow. When did she...never mind.
''Yea, but next time don't jump on us or your gonna give us mud infection, darling please.'' said Harm.
Mel groaned to herself but made a small smile, before doom wrote itself on her face. She had forgotten something too important. She gasped, and got up with a start and grabbed Harm with her hooves.
''Harm, aren't we forgetting something!?'' she gasped out, in panic.
''Uh...Not that I can think off.'' said Harm, trying to calm her sister down.
''We have to foalsit Jewel, remember?! Mom and dad are out and Auntie Applebloom or Auntie Sweetie Belle can't make it to foalsit as they already headed off to preform.''
Harm face fell, she had totally forgotten about it. Oh great, it wasn't like she hated her little sister it was just, Jewel was at the age that magic surges affected her and they were almost like Twilight's magic from time to time, very powerful to the point that Rarity would wonder if the foal was even hers.
''Uh great...'' she muttered.
''You girls have to foalsit?'' asked Bookie.
''Yea....'' moaned the two.
''Well, me and my big sis, Nyx have to foalsit Thistle and Whistle, and if you think a 2 year old baby unicorn is hard, try a unicorn and pegasus, who are both from an alicorn.'' she giggled.
''Well, we could bring Jewel over to the Friendship Rainbow Castle and help you two.'' said Mel, with a smile as Harm nodded.
''Aww...I wanna take part with Bullet.....But mommy says I'm too young to look after him even though daddy with the wonderbolts with the summer.'' whined Rainy.
''I wanna take part too but my only siblings are Dinky and Sparkler and there older!'' whined Dizzy, somehow louder then Rainy.
''Well, we could influence your mother to let Bullet come over to play, and with you Dizzy you still can help. In fact, your the chief play-toy.'' said Mel.
''Yay!'' yelled Dizzy, jumping in the air before realizing something and falling. ''Chief play-toy?''
''Your the foals play friend.''
''Oh.'' mouthed out Dizzy, with a understanding grin. Harm whispered to Rainy about 'should they tell her' but got a negative reply.
''So, meet up at the castle later on.'' said Bookie, putting on her hoof out.
''Yea.'' said the others, putting their hooves on Bookie's.
The group smiled. Mel and Harm went to get Jewel, whilst Bookie when with Rainy to get Pinkie's permission for a play date with Thistle and Whistle.
Getting permission from Pinkie was pretty easy, as the mare was almost always busy with the store, even with Pumpkin Cake helping her. The poor mare looked like she was gonna collapse sometimes. The fillies walked into the nursery to where the colt was playing, with a rainbow dash plush.
''Hello, Bullet.'' said Rainy, with a smile.
''Big sis! Big sis!'' yelled Bullet, before starting to bounce around the light blue filly.
The pink colt never settled down, did he. Bookie stepped in to help her fellow Papillon member.
''Hello, Bullet. You may not know my name, but I'm Rainy's friend, Bookworm. And I was wondering if you would like a play date with Thistle and Whistle, my baby siblings.''
''PLAY DATE! PLAY DATE!'' yelled the colt, at the top of his lungs.
''Does he ever quieten down?'' asked Bookie, quietly.
''Not really...Why do you think mom has a hard time?''
''I can see..'' groaned Bookie, rubbing her now sore ears. ''He's like a flanderization of Pinkie Pie.''
''Flanderization?'' asked Rainy, not understanding the word.
''It means taking one trait from somepony and making it worst, in this case it's Pinkie's hyperactivity but multiplied by about 4.''
