STARdust

Her aunt? She had an aunt? Stardust didn’t really know what to think about that. She hadn’t really thought much about what it would be like to have family that her mother had. Aunts were sisters right? So if she had a foal, Harlequin and Luana would be aunts. Or if they had kids she would be an aunt.

“Oh… Ok,” She looked about, taking in what she could about the Inlet. She hadn’t actually been across the boarders of the Bay yet. She’d been a little worried about her dad’s reaction. But she knew where he’d be and when he’d be there. It could be a good thing eventually. A slight smile ticked at the corners of her mouth. An evil plan beginning to form in her mind.

Just as the thoughts were being organized, they were scattered (for the moment) by the arrival of a mare and two fillies. Stardust’s ears snapped forward. More potential playmates? Oh yes. They seemed to be of a similar age to her, the painted filly pranced about a little bit and surged forward from her mother to greet the other fillies, extending her nose like the big mares did.

“Hi!” She said with a smile, ever friendly and curious. “We come from the Bay. What do you do for fun out here?” Oh yes, more than willing to ignore the adults until a very small stallion shows up. Stardust tilts her head a bit. She didn’t think stallions could be so little - then again Rattlebone was so big! It made her wonder how big she would be one day. Her mother introduced herself. “I’m Stardust. I’m Soljor’s daughter.” She smiled. “Does Freya still live out here? She seemed nice when I met her before. Are you a full grown? Is he full grown, Mom?”

Hopefully, she would escape much reprimand since she was still a child. Children don’t think about what they say when they have a bunch of questions. She looks back at her new filly friends. They were very different colors, but the dark one looked a little like Luana just without the spots.

“You kinda look like my sister,” Stardust said to Naomi. “Though… she has white spots.” She thought about that. “Ok… so you’re Naomi and you’re Al…e…th..e?” She tried to pronounce it correctly. Back to practical matters, convincing these two to run off with her and show her around. Yep.

do the stars gaze back? now there's a question
