Button's Play Date

Everypony cleaned up and made themselves decent. Cream Heart and Button Mash left the trailer a short while later. Both were excited about seeing their new friends again some time soon. As they walked toward the exit of Delta Vee's Junkyard, Cream saw a pegasus flying in for a landing. A customer for Delta, she presumed.

The well-dress stallion landed, and walked past them without giving them so much as a second glance. His mind was clearly elsewhere, preoccupied with his thoughts.

Cream did a double take as he walked past. His pale-tan fur, and tri-tone orange mane. She thought she had recognized him from somewhere. And a glance at his cutie mark confirmed it. Jet Stream. A flood of emotions washed over her.

She bristled, but steeled herself against her feelings. She made a point of looking straight ahead again and focusing on Button. She didn't look back again.

She had come this far in life, focusing on her little Button, and never looking back. She and Button had gotten this far without that stallion. They didn't need his father now.
