Welcome to the neighborhood....

[Starbeam]

Silence squealed in pain as he was kicked, and soon, Whisper was running to his side.
"Silence! Ou ok?" She called, scared as she turned quickly to Layla. "Wat d'ou do dat for?!" She demanded, turning back to her brother.

[inkheart]

Inkheart froze, squeals of pain, anger, it was so familiar. it came from every book she'd ever laid her eyes on. Every book whose print took her away from the endless roads and darkening skies.
Right about now someone brave would stand up for the foal and she prefered that someone not be her. Unfortunatly, her subconscious had othe plans for the maroon earthling, she whirled around and smacked the Layla as hard as she could. Which truthfully wasn't hard at all, as she was a simple bookworm. If she had any strength it came from walking, and was limited to her legs.
Realizing what she'd just done she took a step back, "Oops."

[Delta]

Layla yelled when the pony smacked her. It wasn't much of a slap, but it hurt all the same.
She stared at the pony. She kicked her in the shin.
She looked over at the little foal. "He was in my way!" She snorted.

Meanwhile, back on the ground Aurora felt tears sliding down her face. They were sure to hate her now. Why did Layla have to ruin it everytime she was trying to make friends?

[Silver Shadow]

Baby RainRibbon knew that fighting wouldn't help the injuried pony. She turned to Silence, the injuried foal, and Aurora, the crying pony.

"Well?" Baby Rainribbon asked Aurora. "You says you heal, so why is it you no doin' anytink ta helps him?"

[Delta]

"Of course. Sorry." She looked up to the sky and suddenly a beam of sunlight covered the young foal. Whatever pain was once there, was gone now.
She sniffed. "Are you okay? I'm really really sorry about my sister. She... She didn't have a very good childhood. She never used to do this. She really not all that... bad." She finished, as Layla stalked up to her, her eyes slits.

"What did I tell you, Aurora?" She spat.

"That- That-"

"Spit it out!"

"That I'm worthless and that I'm not allowed to make friends..."

"That's it. Now let's go. I've had enough of you today."

Aurora looked back at the other ponies as if they could do something to stop Layla.

[Starbeam]

"Yea! Go away, Layla! You is mean!" Whisper yelled as she began crying, gazing back at her wounded brother on the ground.

When Aurora healed her brother though, Whisper's tears slowly ceased, and she looked back, shocked at what was happening.
Silence slowly got up, his pain had gone completely.
"Wowies! How d'you do dat?" He asked, smiling again.
"Thanks a bunch..." He continued, but then noticed that Layla was making Aurora sad, and forcing her to leave.
"Why you makin' 'er leave?" Silence glared at Layla sternly, then trotted up to the other twins.
"An' she not worthless! Leave 'er alone!" He demanded, clinging to Aurora's leg slightly.
"Silence!" Whisper coughed, walking slowly up to her brother, trying to avoid Layla.
"Watch out for da meanie..." She whipered to him, her ears flicking back as she watched Layla cautiously.

[Delta]

Aurora smiled slightly at the young foal before turning back to her sister. Suddenly Silence marched into their arguement.
"Please, don't get involved. She'll- She'll hurt you again."
She felt a warmth as the young pony held on to her leg.
"She... Doesn't like me having friends."

Layla snarled at Silence. "She is worthless! Just as much as you are!" She snorted. "Why are you even bothering to stand up to me? Why, you could be unconcious on the floor in a matter of seconds! You see, I don't like being stood up to by little pathetic foals!"

Aurora watched sadly. Why couldn't she stand up to Layla like Silence could? He was a brave little tacker.

[Stellaluna]

When the foal was kicked, Bubbles rushed to its aid just as the others did. She looked over her shoulder and saw the dark one kicking another pony. What was going on? Suddenly a beam of light appeared from the sky and seemed to heal the foal from it’s pain. Bubbles took a quick sigh of relief but then looked back at the Layla.
“What’s the matter with you?” She said quickly in a disgusted tone. Her eyes darted back and forth as she searched through all of her thoughts. “And anyone who is willing to help another in need is certainly not worthless.” Layla seemed to be acting like an unmanageable teenager so she figured she’d use the same tone she would use when her own teenaged daughter stepped out of line. Although she didn’t stop to think if it was the best approach.

[Delta]

Layla stared at the yellow pony before turning around and stalking off. How dare they stand up to her?

Aurora sniffed. "Thankyou! She hasn't always been this way... I'm so sorry!"

[Silver Shadow]

Baby RainRibbon grinned happily. "He is healed now."

She trotted over to Aurora and smiled at her. "I dun see why ya should lwet a ponay like she push you 'round. you is very nice."

((and I can't really say anything else.o.o))

[Delta]

Aurora blushed. "No. I just seem nice next to her."

[Starbeam]

Silence smiled when Layla turned and walked away, and he stuck his tounge out to her befor looking up at Aurora.
"No! You is very nice!" Silence squealed, and Whisper nodded her head in agreement.
"Dun let dat one push you 'round...she is meanie..." Whisper whispered (lol) quietly, sort of afraid that Layla may hear her, though she tried to be brave.

Silence hugged Aurora's leg once, and stepped back.
"Fanks again for helpin' me..." He smiled as Whisper tugged at his tail lightly.
"Where is we?" She asked to him, and he just looked back up at the others, hoping they would answer.

[Stellaluna]

“No, you are nice.” Bubbles agreed with the foals. “Anyone who would do that for someone is a nice person in my book.” She said referring to when Aurora healed Silence.
Bubbles looked down at the foals once more. “Why, you’re in the neighborhood of Dream Valley, just nearby of the Castle. I remember this place so well from when I was a girl…” Her voice trailed off as she smiled off into space, daydreaming.

[Delta]

Aurora laughed for the first time in ages as Bubbles started to daydream.
"Thankyou. You're all very kind yourself."

[Starbeam]

Whisper tilted her head slightly at Bubbles response.
"Dweam Valley?" She asked, having no clue what the place was, or hardly even what a castle was. Turning to Silence, her eyes became glassy, and upon her maw was a sad frown.
"Why'd dey leave us 'ere?" She asked quietly to her brother, but continued, "Dun dey wan us?"
Silence frowned too, but his expression became serious.
"They is mean, dat's why...they dun want us, but dun worry, I is 'ere to pwotect you..." And with that, he gave Whisper a hug, but then looked up at all the others.
"Oh! If you's haven't figured dis out, my name ish Silence..and dis my twin sister, Whisper..." He smiled again.
