When she was kicked in the shin Inkheart had quickly retreated to a safe distance from the group and was now hugging her bag of books and other neccessities to her chest.

White Rose had grown very, very silent when Layla kicked the foal. But the fear had been vanquished, replaced instead with a simmering anger. She stared after Layla, her body riged. If that mare ever came anywhere near her...
"There will be no further violence here," she hissed. "A bad childhood is no excuse for it. If that...mare....harms one more undeserving soul and I find out about it, I'll take it out of her hide."
The White Rose who had quivered at all the company now tossed her head and gave everyone a penetrating look.
The sharp eyed among them might notice how many scars graced her silken, white hide...

Bubbles smiled at the twins. They were adorable. “Well, pleased to meet you both.” She nodded. “I’m Bubbles.” She then looked to the sky for a moment, thinking, and then brought her attention back to the foals. “What do you mean they don’t want you?” She asked, now with a sympathetic smile. She glanced over at White Rose who now had a stern expression. She noticed the scars and quickly turned her head back towards the foals, hoping White Rose didn’t see her looking. She didn’t want to appear rude. Although she still wondered about the scars, Bubbles, now wearing an uneasy expression, dared not ask.

Aurora suddenly noticed Inkheart. She trotted over. "Are you okay? I'm very sorry about my sister."

White Rose slowly seemed to settle. She swayed back and forth on her feet, muttering under her breath. "Last we need is another Vendetta. Another vicious, black-hearted beast that kicks and bites and trampls the soul as well as the flesh...."
For those who know their Dream Valley history, and overheard White Rose's mutterings, they might recognize the name Vendetta as belonging to one of the minions under Katrina during the last wave of darkness.

Silence and Whisper both looked up at Bubbles again, smiling. "Hullo Bubbles!" Silence said excitedly, and Whisper nodded her head in greeting too. Suddenly, the smile wiped off Silence's face, and he became rather serious. "My 'n' Whisper's pawents...dey dun wan us...dat's why dey left us 'ere..." He said quietly, and his sister's expression changed too when he mentioned their parents again, she lowered her head.

Bubbles looked at the twins concerned. “Are you sure? Maybe you just got separated.” She backed a few steps away from the group so she could get a clearer look at the surrounding area. No one was in sight. Bubbles started to worry what was going to happen to them if this really was true. She stepped back up to them, giving them an imploring expression for their reply.

Silence and Whisper's comments again stirred a reaction from White Rose. She looked at Bubbles. "Perhaps. But sometimes parents really don't want their children." She bowed her head to look at the twins. "If your parents really don't want you, we'll find someone here who does. Okay? Perhaps Forget-Me-Not, the mare who took me in....or..." and here she pasued dramatically, "Maybe even the Queen herself!"

Inkheart dusted herself off, "Well, I'm glad thats all settled." she smiled faintly and as she walked back toward the group she trippedover a rock and succeeded in spilling the contents of her pack, mostly books, onto the ground. Grumbling she stuffed them back in and stood up again smiling. She was such a kutz...

Aurora crouched down and helped Inkheart pick up her books. She looked at her. "Wow." She said grinning. "Your really pretty."

"Dey towd us dey wood come back...but dey not yet..." Whisper spoke quietly, and Silence lowered his head, he knew they weren't coming back. When the others spoke of finding a new home for the two, Silence lifted his head, but he wondered who would want them if their own parents didn't.

Bubbles was about to help Inkheart with her books but was too late and she was already back on her feet so instead she gave her a sympathetic smile. She then looked back at the twins. “Hey cheer up. It’ll be all right. We’ll help you out. Everything’s gonna be okay.” Bubbles then wondered if she should have said that, for some of the ponies present might not be interested in helping the foals, but Bubbles knew she was. White Rose seemed to know a lot about Dream Valley, whereas Bubbles had not been to the valley in many years. “So what should we do then?” She asked White Rose, with a hint on uneasiness in her tone. She was still bothered by the scars. Where did they come from? The war? Possibly, but Bubbles decided she’d better not ask. She looked around trying to locate the castle, in case they my soon be headed in that direction.

"Let's go to where the festival is and see if we can't find Sunny or Fem." White Rose turned, then waited to see if the twins would follow. "The rest of you might as well come and enjoy yourselves."
White Rose would have been no more than 13 or so at the time of the last darkness incurison. Butthe scars, faded as they were, might very well have been that old...

Aurora held out a hoof to Inkheart. "Let's go to the festival with her. It should be fun."

Both of them smiled at Bubbles, thankful that they had found others who were willing to help them.
"Fetivil..." Silence tilted, then shook his head..."Festival?! Wat one of those?" Whisper shrugged but then spoke. "Dunno, but it souds fun!" She squealed sweetly, but then coughed again. They both looked up at White Rose and the others, excited expressions on their little muzzles.
