Skydancer smirked at Firefly's question, but his only answer was to follow after when she went up into the air. Before taking off, however, he looked at Princess Sparkle and winked to her.
"It's really too bad to leave you like this, my lady," he said. "Perhaps we'll meet again at the castle sometime."
To Heart Throb he grinned.
"No hard feelings, eh?" he said and nudged her playfully, then dismissed the rest of the picnic party with a flick of his tail, and shot off, up into the air, after Firefly. He caught her and flew right below her, flying on his back, looking up at her. "Shall we take a round about the Valley, my dear?"
[[the two of them cont. elsewhere]]
Cascade watched the pegasus ponies go and then blew air out of her nostrils, shaking her head. Those two were a dangerous couple, she could see that right away. She only hoped Medley would catch up with them soon enough, to rein them in a little.
Now she was free to take her attention to the newcomers, not being distracted by the boisterous pegasi anymore. She looked at Heart Throb and Princess Sparkle.
"Hello," she said to them both with her soft, kind voice. "I am afraid we were a little distracted there. I don't think we have been introduced. I am Cascade." She nodded to Moondancer. "This is my new friend, Moondancer."
Dancer smiled a little shyly to them both, looking at Princess Sparkle with a hint of awe in her eyes. She had never met a Princess before in her life.
"You can call me Dancer," she said quietly.
[[sorry, Angel, it took so long before I got to replying to your characters. We sort of had something going on there with Firefly and Skydancer. But I'm all yours now. ^-^]]

((It's alright I don't mind! I understand Firefly and Skydancer were racing and all. )) Princess Sparkle blushed slightly when Skydancer winked at her. She nodded. "Alright, see you at the Castle, too then!" She said sweetly. Heart Throb forced a small smile in Sky's direction. She still felt a little uneasy towards him at first when he had embarrassed her, but she knew he was only joking. The unicorn then turned to Cascade and Moondancer. "Oh, well hello there." She said. "I'm Princess Sparkle, well, you can just call me Sparkle." She mentioned. The pinkish pegasus turned towards them as well. "Oh, I'm sorry! I'm Heart Throb." She said with a slight giggle. "It is nice to meet both of you!"

Cascade smiled to them both.
"Pleased to meet you." The yellow earthling reached forward and took a leftover strawberry from one of the baskets. Then she looked at Heart Throb. "Are you quite all right now?" she asked. "I didn't think that trick with the chocolate sauce was funny at all."
Dancer had to smile, however. She had thought it was a little funny. She recalled Skydancer ever so faintly from earlier. He had pulled some pranks on her too, when she had been younger. She gazed up after the two pegasi, who by now had disappeared from sight. She wondered where Firefly had left Medley, seeing as they were usually always together.

Heart Throb nodded. "I guess I'm alright. I just hope Leaper doesn't think of me as a weirdo or something..... I mean, that pegasus just had to do that right when I was trying to impress Leaper!" The pegasus pony sighed.
Sparkle blinked and looked over at Leaper, then back at Heart Throb. "You know, you guys would make a cute couple." Said the unicorn.

Cascade had to hide her smile behind her hair as she looked from the two mares to Leaper. Her periwinkle eyes glimmered from under her green mane towards the stallion. She found him cute, as well, even if she wasn't especially attracted to him.
"I'm sure you don't need to try and impress anyone to get them interested, Heart Throb," she said with a chuckle to the other mare. "Just be yourself."
Moondancer shifted uncomfortably. She wasn't feeling like all this girly talk. She frowned absentmindedly as her horn started itching and she put it down, to scratch it against the grass. She had felt strange the whole day - like something terrible had happened. Something very... wrong. She glanced towards the docks which could be just made out from the little hill. Somehow, it was the sea... She was not aware that she was sensing the disturbance in the Rainbows as the Locket of the Rainbow of Light was being carried away by the pirate ship. Moondancer had become more sensitive of late to such shifts in magic, even if she could not yet read what it meant.
Again, she wished that her oldest friend Twilight would be there. She did miss her so.

The pinkish pegasus smiled. "Thanks for the advice." She said. She turned around and saw the stallion. Her blue eyes glowed in the sunlight as she looked at Leaper. She gave her pink mane a toss, wondering if he'd ever like her.....
Princess Sparkle giggled a bit as she watched Heart Throb. "Don't worry, Heart Throb, you'll find your true love someday." She mentioned. The pink pegasus turned to Sparkle. "You think so? Do you think Leaper could be my true love?" Sparkle shrugged. "Dunno, maybe."

Cascade was a little amused by the other mares' discussion. Ah, yes, love. She could very well understand Heart Throb's enthusiasm about the handsome green stallion. She herself thought Leaper very cute. She didn't believe he would really be interested in her, an older mare. She shook her mane to get off a few more of the pieces of grass Skydancer had sprayed all over her.
She looked at Princess Sparkle.
"Excuse me," she said to her, curious of her princess status. "Do you really live at the castle? What is it like?" Her voice was dreamy. She had never been much in contact with royalty, and it still got to her.
Moondancer, however, was now distracted from the company. She was feeling very uneasy. She knew something terrible was going on. She could sense it. And suddenly, she wasn't feeling like remaining in company at all. She looked at the others, all of them at once, and whispered an apology, getting up on her feet.
Cascade looked at her, startled.
"Oh, but Moondancer..."
"No," Moondancer said softly. "I must go... continue my spring cleaning. It was a pleasure meeting you all!"
And she stood, concentrated, and winked out just as Cascade was going to open her mouth to tell her that she'd come to help her. The yellow earthling wrinkled her nose after Moondancer and shook her head. Oh, well. Another time. She turned to Princess Sparkle again, awaiting her answer.

The purple unicorn turned to Cascade. "Well, yes, I do live in the Castle. But I am not the only princess pony who lives there." She mentioned. "In fact, before coming here, I had a very short conversation with Princess Rain."
But Heart Throb wasn't paying attention. She kept glancing over at Leaper. She just couldn't help but watch his every move, his every breath....
She shook her head a bit and looked at Sparkle. "Oh, sorry. I was just daydreaming a bit.." She said.

Cascade's eyes grew a little wider.
"Princess Rain? Really?" She stopped for a moment and thought it through. "Wasn't she out of Dream Valley for a long time?"

Sparkle watched as Cascade asked her question in shock. "Well, yes she was. But she just came back today. I was in the Castle, walking to my room, when I saw her in one of the hallways, so I talked to her for a bit. She was looking for the king and queen I believe." She explained.
The pinkish pegasus looked from Cascade to Sparkle. "So Rain just came back today then?" She asked.
"Yes, Heart Throb." Sparkle informed the pegasus.

Cascade nodded to what Princess Sparkle said. She had always liked Rain better than the rest of the royal family - that was because she had had the chance to meet her more often. Just last year, before she had went away, Rain had come to the Healing House for some wound or other. She still held some reverence towards actually living in the castle. It must have been grand.
She rolled onto her side on the lawn and closed her eyes for a while. The sun was nice and warm and the grass felt comfortable and soft under her. Absent-mindedly she nibbled on a few stray straws.

The purpleish unicorn stretched out her front legs and let herself lie there on the soft grass. She looked up at the bright blue sky, thinking to herself...
Heart Throb looked around her, and then spotted Leaper again. She wondered if she should talk to him. She smiled at the green stallion.

The pink pegasus wondered if she should say something to Leaper. She thought for a moment...
"Hello, Leaper. You seem awful quiet." She finally said to him.

"You know, you guys would make a cute couple."
Leaper glanced sideways, clearly uncomfortable. While he WAS single at the moment, he wasn't bold enough to outwarly say why he didn't take an interest in the mare.. or, any mares, for that matter..
"Hello, Leaper. You seem awful quiet."
"I-I'm sorry," He said shyly, "I guess I was lost in my own thoughts for a while."

The pink pegasus smiled. "I understand." She said sweetly.
Sparkle noticed that Heart Throb was talking to Leaper. She wondered if she oughta head back to the Castle. She decided to just stay with the others, since she had nothing else better to do, anyway.
