Allstar flew right past as Freckled Tornado tried to keep his balance in the air.

" Hey ! Watch where your going. ", laughed Freckled Tornado as he caught up to his new friend.

Allstar turned around mischievously.

" Ha ! Why don't you make me ? ", he cried as he darted upward and did a flip. Tornado shook his head, a big grin forming on his expressionless face.

Piscean looked at the colts with wondering eyes. Tornado looked towards her. He knew what she was thinking, the part of her always wanting to be able to fly. Suddenly, a big grin covered his face, a triumphal idea took place in his mind. Allstar looked toward his friend in confusion. Tornado darted down in a swift jolt ! He picked up Piscean with all of his might, and carried her as if she was a filly again.

" C'mon Freckles ! Put me down, this instant ! ", she cried in her loud, over bearing tone. Freckled Tornado hated when any pony ever called him Freckles, that is unless, it was Piscean. He'd normally tell her to 'shut up and enjoy the ride' but not today. Today, he felt as if all the weight of the world was lifted, something good was gonna come between him and that nice, old, foal he knew since he and she were fillies.

,Piscean gave up trying to get free from Tornado.

" Hey, let's throw Piscean around ! ", announced Allstar, he looked as if he came up with a very clever idea. Piscean looked in surprise as she became aware that Tornado was gonna give in with the game.

" Ok, catch ! ", retorted Tornado in a moment of silence. Allstar darted for her just in time, and then threw her again. The boys kept throwing her to one another for a while. Then, Allstar threw her too lightly.

She was falling, falling down onto the hard, cold, ground. Tornado darted for her ! Faster and faster, he tried to keep his pace to reach the falling foal. Piscean screaming at the top of her lungs. She closed her eyes, ready to feel herself hitting the hard ground with a thud. Seeing the colts, surprised and trembling as they discovered her bloody body, not moving a muscle. Then, something caught her off guard. She felt something catch her, it was flying her back up into the air. She opened her eyes in a dazed motion. She saw the short blonde hair, it was covering his dark blue eyes.

Allstar laid her gently on the ground as she looked to find Freckled Tornado. He was rubbing his snout carefully, twigs were misplaced everywhere in his ginger colored hair. His freckles looked misplaced, his eyes, filled with hurt and neglect.

" Oh my, uh- thank you Allstar ! ", Piscean blushed as she looked up into his eyes. Allstar beamed with pride a little as he looked towards Tornado. He still was staring at the two, as if he had never seen either one of them ever before.

" Ruff landing ! ", laughed Allstar.

Freckled Tornado looked at Piscean now, almost as if he was in a trance.

" Hey, Freckles, Are you ok? ", asked Piscean. That was the most she'd ever paid him attention. Tornado nodded hesitantly, and coughed up a flower pedal.

" S-stupid bush. Always gets in my way. ", he gurgled, trying to change the subject.

In his mind, it kept playing over and over. Allstar and Piscean's eyes meeting, and then she blushed. Freckled Tornado never once had been able to make Piscean blush before. The look in her eyes... something, he'd never seen before. He felt as if he was about to have a melt down right there at the spot. His face reddened as he flew off into the sunset leaving the two friends in confusion.
