"It isn't like Moonstone is dating her."
"Oh...he-he's not?" Posey wished she hadn't questioned it - it was somewhat embarrassing to have others find out you've been under the wrong impression for any length of time.
She looked confusedly at Skyflier, wondering what exactly their relationship was. Then she heard Moonstone's offer to move and her eyes shot over toward him. In a more forceful tone than she usually used, she said quickly, "No, that wouldn't be fair. I would hate to cause any sort of inconvenience."

The reddish unicorn blinked. She turned to Posey. "It's fine. I usually sit with my sister when we go over to a friend's house for dinner." She explained. Well, so Posey thought Skyflier was dating Moonstone? The unicorn herself was confused. Why did she think that? Was she jealous of Skyflier? No, that couldn't be it, unless the other mare liked Moonstone. Did she? Skyflier hoped she didn't, because she herself, had fallen in love with the stallion. That moment they had, under the stars, was perfect. Skyflier would never forget it.
The orange mare nodded. "Yes, we do sit next to each other, usually. So there's no need to switch places." She mentioned. "Sunlight, Moonstone, it's ok. No need for switching, let's just eat. Ok? Sorry, we didn't mean to cause so much trouble like this.." She tried to explain.
Sky nodded. "Yes, sorry for causing such confusion, but I am not Moonstone's girlfriend....least...not at the moment." She said, not thinking clearly of what she had said. Oh no, now that probably gave Moonstone an idea that she liked him. Great, now that probably ruined her chance with him. Skyflier just wished she could disappear right then. But unicorns can't wink through walls, least, she couldn't. She looked down at the table, wondering what Moonstone was thinking at this moment...

Moonstone kept his seat, feeling the uncomfortableness of the situation acutely. He drew his ears back and didn't quite know what to say, so he looked at his mother for help.
Sunlight smiled benignly to her son and appeared as though nothing in the world was wrong. She was determined not to let the embarrassment and uncomfortableness ruin the dinner.
"Oh, girls, calm down, everyone, let us just sit all down where we are and eat," she said cheerfully. "And then we can all get acquainted. Skyflier, Friendly, do tell us a little about yourself, why won't you? Posey, eat on, you need some food to keep that blush on your cheeks, you know." She smiled happily.
Moonstone, his mother's son as always, smiled and went along with Sunlight.
"Yes, let's just all eat. My mother's made that cake herself, you know." He chuckled. "I do hope you enjoy vegetarian food. That's all we eat here."

Friendly smiled. "Why, I'm a vegetarian myself." She mentioned.
Sky nodded. "Yes, I am, too. Sort of.....I do eat meat, though, but not often, in fact, I hardly do."
The orange mare giggled. "Ok, perhaps I should start by telling a bit about myself?"
Sky nodded.
"Ok, well, Skyflier and I live together. We're sisters, as you know already. And I have a big, beautiful garden in our backyard. I have all kinds of flowers in my garden. All the colors of the rainbow, too. My personal favorite flower is the orange rose. I have a few in my garden. I also just love purple roses. I have many of those, too. And dandelions as well."
Sky giggled. "Yes, you do love flowers, don't you, sis?"
"Of course!" Said Friendly. "Ok, enough about me, Skyflier, go ahead."
The reddish unicorn smiled. "Well, ever since I was very little, I would come outside every evening and watch the sunsets. I've always loved them, I find them so pretty. I even took pictures of them a while back. Sometimes I wish I could fly in those sunsets, but I know it'll never happen, since I'm not a pegasus. But, oh well, I can always dream, can't I? I also love flying kites as well. I have a couple kites at home that Friendly and I fly sometimes."

Sky nodded. "Yes, sorry for causing such confusion, but I am not Moonstone's girlfriend....least...not at the moment."
Posey's mouth hung open in shock at what she considered to be a very forward comment. She had no way of knowing that it had slipped out unintentionally.
"Posey, eat on, you need some food to keep that blush on your cheeks, you know."
She smiled briefly to Sunlight and she did as she was told, but her expression shifted back to a soft frown as her gaze returned to her plate, and she forked a bite of salad with a bit more violence than was necessary. Her eyes shot up to flit guiltily around the table, hoping no one had noticed, before she decided it was safer to keep staring at her place or she would draw more attention.
"And I have a big, beautiful garden in our backyard. I have all kinds of flowers in my garden. All the colors of the rainbow, too. My personal favorite flower is the orange rose. I have a few in my garden. I also just love purple roses. I have many of those, too. And dandelions as well."
Posey's ears pricked up at mention of the mare's garden, and she listened intently, although she still would not look up. After the two were finished speaking she felt the need to say something, and chose to direct a comment towards the sister with the garden.
Clearing her throat, the mare looked up at Friendly. "Hmm, I actually have a garden of my own. I also love flowers..." Then before she could stop herself, she added, "I must admit, I am not familiar with any sort of orange rose."

I must admit, I am not familiar with any sort of orange rose.
"Oh, well they are very beautiful. Hmm, you haven't heard of them? I think that's probably because they're rare...." Said Friendly. She did assume they were rare, since she found hers when she went traveling once.

Sky nodded. "Yes, I am, too. Sort of.....I do eat meat, though, but not often, in fact, I hardly do."
Moonstone was slightly amused by her comment, but didn't say the thought that went through his mind; Well, you either are a vegetarian or are not... He didn't want to be rude, after all. He listened as Posey and the two other mares continued talking, rather surprised to hear Friendly liked flowers too. It seemed there were awful lot of flower-loving ponies there that night.
Skyflier's mention of wanting to fly made Moonstone smile. Well, hadn't they all wished for that at one point? He was himself rather jealous of pegasus ponies and flutters and the rest winged ones. Still, he had found a great pleasure in his own powers, and was these days quite satisfied with them.
The conversation about orange roses sparked Sunlight's attention.
"Oh, yes, orange roses are very rare indeed. They don't grow wild, of course, but then, not very many of the different coloured roses do," she said. "I received them in a gift once... but I never liked their colour. Much too... pushy, if you ask me." Sunlight smiled. "I've doodled with growing a new breed of roses myself. A silver one. I haven't had much success, however. It's very difficult to dull a white rose. That yellow rose bush you promised me, Posey, might help me with that, however." She smiled happily to Posey.

Friendly heard Sunlight's mention of yellow roses.
"Oh, why, yellow roses are quite beautiful as well! I only have 3 of them in my garden, though. But I do cherish them. I hear they're quite rare as well. Course, like you said, many different colored roses are rare." The orange unicorn blabbed.

"Oh, why, yellow roses are quite beautiful as well! I only have 3 of them in my garden, though. But I do cherish them. I hear they're quite rare as well."
Posey now felt strongly obligated to offer some roses to Friendly as well, especially since it was known that she was giving some to Sunlight, and Friendly had mentioned specifically how she liked them and needed more for her garden.
However, Posey had always been particularly fussy and protective of her plants, and had to ask something first. "What do you like to do when you spend time in your garden? With the beautiful surroundings, it seems just right for...garden parties, every now and then? To make use of the scenery? Of course, different ponies can create very different atmospheres from certain surroundings."

Friendly turned to Posey. "Well, I just water my flowers, and tend to my garden. I also like to admire it a lot. I sometimes take pictures of my garden as well." She mentioned. "Garden parties? Well, I do remember having one, it was a while back, though." She was, in fact, thinking of having another one, but she wasn't sure of who'd come...

"Ah...so your flowers get a bit of excitement in their days as well?" Posey knew Sunlight and perhaps Moonstone would be able to tell what she was doing, and hoped to wrap up the conversation soon.
Feeling a need to talk some herself instead of firing questions at Friendly, the mare said casually, "For me, flowers are somewhat like growing children, with their needs to be cared for and nurtured...we all are living things, so we can't be too different."

Friendly smiled. "Flowers are exciting themselves. With their bright colors and everything...."
Skyflier smiled, too. "Yes, though everything is unique, and everything stands out from everything else..."

Posey was almost annoyed at how satisfactory her answers were.
When she realized she was actually looking for a fault in the mare, she felt extremely guilty. This isn't like me at all! I hope this isn't over Moonstone. And I don't even like him! Well, not like Skyflier... Oh dear, maybe I shouldn't be around stallions when it makes me like this...
Forcing a smile, she said softly, "Your garden sounds very nice. Maybe I can...see about getting you some more yellow roses. Why, before long you could have a whole rose rainbow in your own yard."

The orange mare smiled to Posey. "Well, that would be nice! Thank you very much!" She replied. She started to take a liking to Posey. I mean, they did share an interest: flowers. Friendly never had met anyone who loved flowers as much as she did. But now, she has.

Sunlight listened to the conversation, understanding fully what Posey was doing with her questions. She, too, felt a strange inclination toward disappointment when Friendly was giving such good answers. She scolded herself for such behaviour inwardly, however. She, who never closed her door from anyone!
Moonstone was still mostly happily oblivious to any possible quarrel between the mares over his attention. He listened to the conversation about the roses with some amount of interest, though. It was nice that everyone seemed to be getting along so well. Something in their conversation had caught his attention, however.
"Garden party," he then mused thoughtfully and looked at his mother. "Really, mother, when was the last time you and I attended one, let alone threw one?"
Sunlight blinked and looked up, slightly surprised. She then smiled hesitantly, however.
"Why, I think... oh... I don't think I have ever thrown one," she admitted, then looked at Posey. "My garden is really such a humble place. I am afraid I am the only one ever to care for the plants. And then, I do fear that some of the guests might trample on them."
"We should do it," Moonstone said, however.
His mother looked at him with a shocked expression.
"What?"
"Garden party," he answered with a smile and looked at Posey. "Say... to celebrate the rose bush you were going to give to mother, perhaps. You would be the guest of honour, of course." He gave a laugh and was getting more excited about the idea as he spoke. He needed to get his mother out and about more, and what better way to make her meet new friends? "I'm sure a party would attract more ponies from around the neighbourhood." He smiled to the two sisters. "Of course you are invited as well."
Sunlight's thoughts were racing. She glanced from Posey to Moonstone to Friendly to Skyflier. Finally a smile crept on her lips as she had an idea.
"Yes, certainly," she said with a nod. "But only if you will promise to help me decorate, Posey."
