Big Fight

It was the next morning when Fireball and the triplets woke up after sleeping in their sleeping bags. Fireball opened her eyes, yawned and stretched her limbs and looked at the triplets who were still sleeping in one sleeping bag. She walked over to the lake that was nearby and she laid down onto her stomach and splashed some water into her face with her hooves. She was at first hesitant to do it because the water was freezing cold but it didn't seem affect her. That also made her very confused on how she couldn't get cold and others could.

Cinnamon opened his eyes and stretched his limbs, trying not to hit Honey or Caramel to wake them up. He turned his head to see that Fireball wasn't in her sleeping bag. He didn't seem worried about it because she wasn't a little filly and could take care of herself. He got out of the sleeping bag and he heard some splashing coming from the lake. He trotted over and saw Fireball, swimming in the lake and she was diving and doing all sorts of tricks in the water. He went behind a tree and just stared at her, his heart beating very fast in his chest and he felt like he was struggling to breathe properly. He had this feeling a few times and only once, Fireball, Honey and Caramel were confused on what was going on but he didn't tell them.

"Oh, Fireball, when will you realise how I feel about you?" Cinnamon said in a dreamy voice and he closed his dark green eyes for a moment. Was it weird that he had a crush on a filly that was adopted into his family? What would his mum and dad say? Would they not accept it? He didn't think it was weird because Fireball wasn't exactly related to them and she belonged to other parents. But what would Honey and Caramel think? Did they know how he felt but they didn't want to say so? It seemed like it after they gave him those looks the first time it happened. The biggest problem was that he has a small crush on Pearl but she probably didn't want to talk to him after what had happened to Dancer and Keyboard. "I should get the courage and tell her how I feel at some point on the trip. This is going to be difficult."

Cinnamon then walked back to where Honey and Caramel were. The two had woken up and they were just sitting up against a tree and whispering about something but he couldn't understand what they were talking about. They then looked at him and gave him small smiles.

"Morning, Cinnamon, where's Fireball at?" Caramel asked with a worried voice.

"She's at the lake for a swim. It seemed like a good idea because we've been in sleeping bags all night." Cinnamon replied with a small smile and he drew a few circles on the ground with one of his front hooves.

"Is something the matter, Cinnamon? You've been acting kind of strange for the past few weeks." Honey responded with a confused and surprised voice.

"Is it possibly because he's-" Caramel started to say but Honey then tackled her and covered her mouth with one of her front hooves.

"Don't say it, if you try and say it one more time, I will use my magic to throw you into that lake over there." Honey said in a stern voice and she gave her look at her sister.

Caramel nodded and she turned away with a sigh.

"What was she going to say about me?" Cinnamon asked with a tilt of his head.

Was it what he was thinking? That they knew he had a crush on Fireball?

"She was just messing around and tried to tell me a lie about you but I'm not going to say." Caramel replied and she looked at Honey who then turned to look at her.

"But it's true!" Honey yelled and she looked like she was going to start crying.

"No it isn't!" Caramel yelled back and Honey's eyes widened and her lip started to tremble.

She had never yelled at her own sister like that before! Sure, there were arguments but it didn't end up with them yelling at each other.

"Fine, if you want to be that way, I'll just go home but I'll just say that you died after a manticore and some changelings did it to you." Honey responded in an angered and choked voice then she galloped away, sobbing her eyes out.

"Hey, I heard some yelling. What's going on?"

Cinnamon and Caramel turned to see Fireball walking towards them and she had a confused and worried look on her face.

"Honey just left us to go home after we had a stupid argument. It was over something that we would laugh about but I don't know why I snapped at her like that. I've never done that to her." Caramel replied with a voice of regret and sadness.

"Well, we can't just leave her alone, we need to go after her and you need to apologize to her. You can't stay mad at her forever." Fireball responded with a calm voice and she put her hoof on Caramel's shoulder and gave her a small smile.

The three of them nodded, packed their items into their saddlebags and they trotted off, calling Honey's name.

Author's Note

Yeah, not so much romance (it's like Yandere Simulator in this chapter which I still can't get for my Mac) and more sadness in this chapter but I'm working on the romance and thinking of what happened in Lady and The Tramp 2 so I can make something similar and it would be the climax.
