It was not long after Moonshine had begun to play with Acapella that Skylar had made it back home. The painted mare had called out to her children and quickly Moonshine had taken the other filly to her mother’s side. It was there that Skylar made sure they stayed, keeping an eye on the orphan filly that belonged to Alibi in palomino’s absence.




When Alibi’s call finally drifted across the Peak Skylar was quick to answer. Letting out her own call in reply she had herded the fillies in the direction the palomino had called out but what the blue roan found was not what she had been expected. Alibi looked ragged and reeked of stallion. The answer was clear on why the instant Skylar laid eyes on her newly acquired friend without even a word being spoken. Anger quickly flashed through her, a tinge of red bordering her gaze before she quickly gathered herself again.




“Moonshine, Acapella…. Why don’t you go and play why I talk with Alibi?” she suggested and at the mention of play, Moonshine was all for it. Reaching out to nip at Acapella’s shoulder she quickly took off running. Watching her daughter for a moment, Skylar finally walked the distance left between her and the palomino mare. “Oh Alibi, I’m so sorry.” She said, reaching out to give her friend a comforting nuzzle. Skylar knew her pain all too well as she too had been a victim of a stallion before.
