The Next Gen

The two fillies ran around the garden flapping their wings pretending that they were flying. "Oh my Celestia, Flurry watch out there's a bird" Morning squealed trying to imagine a giant bird in the darkness. Flurry squealed running towards Morning laughing.

The pegasus hopped up flapping her wings dodging the alicorn filly. "How do you do that?" Flurry asked curiously. Morning shrugged "I just do it unconsciously. I can feel you coming and can sense your magical energy. My brother can do it but it's not as sensitive as mine" She explained.

Flurry nodded laying down on her large wings. "What do the colors look like Flurry?" She asked curiously. Flurry thought "I've never had to describe colors for anyone before. To be honest, I don't know. Red is red and blue is blue to me but I'm guessing that's not the answer you were looking for" She said making Morning shake her head.

Morning sighed "all I see is a dark space but i can't describe it" She muttered. "Maybe you're seeing black which isn't that abnormal. I see black when I close my eyes" Flurry explained. Morning smiled a bit as shimmering tears came to her eyes "So this is the color black" She said in a shaky voice.

"Well technically black is a shade" A husky voice said from behind them making them look up to become face to face with golden eyes. "Hello Uncle Astin" Flurry said with a smile. Astin returned her smile sitting next to them.

"Black is kinda boring after a while" Morning said with a sigh. Flurry and Astin laughed with warm smiles. "Mama Luna said that they met a filly a long time ago that was a blind pegasus like me. She said that everyone should appreciate the winter instead of celebrating its end and then they could have a happy winter..." She explained.

Flurry smiled "I agree, Winter is quite beautiful..." She agreed closing her eyes. "Wise words from a young filly" Astin said with a small smile looking at the light blue sky.

After a while, they finally decided to get up and walk to the dining room for dinner. Flurry and Morning watched Celestia lower the sun and Luna raise the moon as they did many times before. They all say down eating a variety of food from Apple pies made especially from the Sweet Apple Acres apples to a delicious vegetables soup from the vegetables of Appleloosa.

Flurry quickly started digging in followed by Morning. Everyone gasped as the foals ate more and more bowls of food. Masquerade's mouth was stuck in a giant 'O'. "Morning truly has her father's appetite" Luna said motioning over to the human who was stuffing down his 5th bowl of vegetable soup.

Celestia let out a chuckle "Foals will be foals" She said with a small smile. Cadance facehooved watched the two foals race to take down food. "How can she even see the pot" Masquerade yelped. Flurry laughed "Magical residue from the unicorns that brought it out here, I guess" She said taking a bite of apple pie.

"Ywea and ah jwust needed to fweel awound" Morning said with her mouth full. Masquerade let out a disgusted yelp before his plate was swiped by Flurry. "Hey! Moooom, Flurry took my food" He whined. Luna groaned holding her hoof to her forehead fighting off a headache.

"Give it back!" He growled jumping on the table. Flurry stuck her tongue out "No way, Flank Kisser" She sassed running away. Masquerade quickly jumped off the table dragging the table cloth with him as he ran after the light pink alicorn.

Everyone but Morning looked at the mess with wide eyes. "I think dinner is over" Celestia said with a troubled smile taking in Luna's furious look. Cadance let out a small squeak of a laugh "I have to say that I wasn't expecting that" She said with a small smile.

Morning sat blindly in Flurry's room as Masquerade and Flurry got scolded. "I thought i told you to behave but no you had to destroy an entire dining room table!!!" Astin yelled throwing his hands in the air angrily. Masquerade held up a hoof "But Flurryheart stole my plate" He said in a small voice. "There's so many more ways you could've solved that problem. You are smarter than this Masquerade" Luna bellowed making the foal flinch.

Astin laid a hand on her back as Shining Armor walked in with Flurryheart. Flurry gave them all a big smile "Hello there" She said in a sweet voice. "Now who's the Flank Kisser" Masquerade said under his breath.

"Sit down, Flurryheart" Shining said in a low voice. The baby pink alicorn quickly sat on her haunches awaiting her punishment. Shining scolded Flurry with some help from Astin and Luna.

(An hour of yelling later)

Flurry laid in her bed next to Morning. "Your dad is really influencing mine. I mean he's never yelled at me like that" She said with a sour expression. Morning nodded "Dad always yells at Masquerade for being so mean and snobby. Must be because he hangs out with Blueblood." Morning said yawning.

Flurry laid a wing over her as the foal stretched. Morning let out a small purr snuggling into the wing. It reminded her of her mother's wings before she fell asleep every night. Flurry let out a small yawn herself before pulling her close and falling asleep.
