Watch out cause here I come(Belle)

[racingbelle]

I laughed as Dancer made another hole in her bedding. "Well that one it staying. I don't feel like fixing it again. I looked in the feed bucket. Licked clean. That was good. I walked out in the paddock following Dancer. I knew she was bored but did she have to tear up the grass like that? Oh well it would grow back. "Dancer my destructive girl. I know your bored but I don't know what I can do. Just hurry along that little one and you'll never be bored." I sighed and laid in the grass. I was tired and maybe I would take a nice nap in the sun.

[arzu]

So bored, would this thing just hurry up? So that I could just go back to being a normal horse, I tore around the paddock, skidding to a halt and prancing. Tossing my head and side stepping along the fence line, I snorted and whinnied again I did not like this one bit. I stopped in the middle, head raised and forelock in my eyes. Nares quivered as I scented the air, I tossed my crown again and then shot off around my paddock again, stopping in the middle to snort once more. Give me a ball or something that would entertain me for a few hours. I squealed and began to prance again, I kicked my heels out and stood in the middle looking crazed sort of.

[racingbelle]

I sat up and lifted my head as Dancer pranced and skidded around the pasture. "Be careful girl!'' I called to the over excited mare. Hmm I got an idea. I stood up and went into the barn. I knew that I had an old ball around here... oh there it was! This used to keep Lightning entertained for hours, not to mention me. "Hey Dancer look what I got!" I tossed the ball in front of me. "Let's see if you'll catch on to a bit of soccer." I kicked the ball to the mare and waited to see what she would do.

[arzu]

She left and I squealed, where was she going? I pranced and flicked my ears forward as she came back. She tossed a ball in front of her and to me, I snorted and tossed my head and then kicked across the paddock, I shot after the ball and kicked it back to her, I snorted, enjoying the play time. That was until she said it was time to go into my stall for the night. Which I was not going to put up a fuss, I walked in and she shut the door and then exited the stable. I closed my eyes but I awoke sometime later and began to pace, a thin layer of sweat upon my ebony coat. I flicked my banner and paced some more, making a little nest out of the bedding about twenty minuets later my water broke. I sniffed at it and then found a spot to lay down, but only after a few pushes I stood and circled around and around before laying down in a new spot. More pushing and I had most of it out, it was not the most comfortable feeling either, it hurt. I grunted and finally it slipped out, I raised my head to look at my foal, I began to clean him and soon he was all dry. I stood and the rest of the stuff came out sometime after, I shook and looked down at my son, whickering softly to him. He looked up at me and then tried to stand but fell countless times before finally he was up on those tall legs of his, he took a wobbly step and then started bumping around my belly until he found what he was looking for, he began to nurse and I pinned my ears not use to the feeling but soon I relaxed. When he finished, he walked around the stall checking things out, I nickered softly to him and he came back to me, he found a spot and laid down and I followed lowering my own ebony frame around his. When Stevie came in she would not be able to see the colt at first but if she looked around my frame she would see him. I was tired but I finally had what I had wanted for so long and I closed my eyes and fell asleep.

[racingbelle]

I went straight to the barn first thing early morning. I had a feeling that something important had happened and I needed to be there. I went to Dancer's stall and peered in. "Hey Dancer. How you doin?" I said to her cheerily. Hey what was that? It was a pinkish, slivery thing. The birth sack! "Dancer you sneak! You aren't even due yet! Oh girl! Where is the little thing." I walked into the stall. "There he is! Oh he's so beautiful! And it's a colt!" I patted Dancer and then the foal. It threw it's head up defiatly and let out a squeal. "Spunky little thing aren't you? Your gonna be like your dad, really tall. Oh Dancer but he looks more like you." I stroked her. "You can never wait can you? I'll go get some bran mash made up, you deserve it this is one big fella." I disapeared into the feed room and made up some mash. After it cooled I brought it to Dancer and added hot water to what was left in the bucket so it could warm. I don't know why but it was how I was taught at one of the barns I had worked for. "There you go girl. Eat up, while I check this guy over..."

[arzu]

I snorted and awoke at the sudden excitement, my son not liking the women’s touch I laid my ears back flat against my head and stood, standing between him and her. It was not like I was going to hurt her, I was just trying to protect my foal. I snorted and then she left but returned a few minuets later with food, she set it in front of me and I poked around at it but it was all mushy but if this is what I had to eat I would not complain. I began to eat, moving out of the way so he could stand. He followed suit and began to nurse, tiny tail waving excitedly behind him. My ears were still flat against my head and I could feel him tugging and sucking. I raised my head out of my bucket and looked at her, did she not like that it looked like me? I squealed, and nudged her. I was done with my food now what?

[racingbelle]

"Hey now I wouldn't hurt your baby and you know that. Oh I really do like his coloring! It makes him look so much cuter! Gee I got to name you soon. Well you can go out in the paddock with your baby as soon as I get a halter on him." I reached out of the stall and grabbed the little foal's halter. "Alright no games now just let me get this on you then you can look at the world outside." I approched the foal wearily, careful to keep the foal between Dancer and I. The foal looked at me with wide eyes and bucked, falling on the floor. I laughed. Then approched again. This time he stood still and let me put it on. I stroked him all over and then opened the door. "Here you go Dancer go bond with your baby while I feed the others." I didn't go yet. I wanted to see how the foal would react to the real world.

[arzu]

She was putting a halter on him? He was just born should he not be allowed to have time to adjust? I just did not understand humans sometimes, she opened the door and I took off outside, my colt following along side me. I was not going to let him leave my sites, I slowed to a trot and then stopping all together, his little tail was held up like an Arabians, head held up proud. He took off around the pasture and then returned to my side in an instant. I took off around my pasture, zig zagging and running fast. Tearing up the grass and then I stopped and hung my head over the fence, whinnying. My son next to me, he nickered and tossed his head, bucking and frolicking around me. I followed after him bumping him in the rump and then turning to make the corner and her foal falling along side her. She stopped in the center and looked about.

[racingbelle]

"Storm Dancer" I thought, looking at them run. Boy Dancer sure had a beautiful baby. "Dancer! Storm Dancer!" I called out there names joyfully. "Gotta go but see you later!" There that was one problem taken care of now there other was getting Lightning to shut up at feeding time. I sighed. Like that ever was going to happen.

I looked at the world around me with wide eyes, following my mother around with wide eyes. I looked up in the blue sky and saw things flying. "Momma, what are those things in the sky? What about this thing on my head." I asked her. I shook my head trying to get it off but then I realized I was hungry and went to nurse. Warm milk flowed into my mouth, little dribbles of it going down my chin. I wanted to explore and walk around some more but Momma was standing right here next to me and besides I was too scared to leave her side.

[arzu]

Snorting as Stevie left, I wanted her to spend more time with us but she had other horses. I turned to my son and looked down, I laughed those are birds and the thing on your head is a halter, its so humans can lead us around. I lowered my head and began to graze as he nursed. I sighed and raised my head and trotted over to the gate, looking over the fence, would she bring Lightning to see his foal or would she just leaving him over in his pasture. I snorted and whinnied, I pawed and waited for someone to come and see us.

[racingbelle]

"Oh. Can we fly like the bridies? Can we run again?", I said. Then I bucked shakily and started to run around her then skidded to a stop falling onto the ground. "Who is he?" I said in awe looking at the bay stallion that had jumped a fence and was coming toward us.

Dancer had just been turned out and I had seen my foal running around her. I couldn't wait for Stevie to come and take me to her so I was going to her myself. "Dancer!" I cried. "Our foal, it came! Oh Dancer! Is it a colt or filly? It's beautiful! Oh I love you and the foal! What is its name?" As usual I asked a million questions. My first foal! I was a father!

[arzu]

I snorted and pawed, the last horse on the earth I wanted to see! I shook my head, son he is your father a very very dirty stallion! I squealed, and looked at him we cant fly like them but when you run it’s the closest thing to it, now run along and play wail I take care of somethings. I turned to look at him, taking a couple steps back I jumped the fence and pinned my ears and bared my teeth. You leave right now I don’t ever ever want to see you again you are nothing but a dirty filthy stallion! I squealed and bit him hard on the neck tearing away hair and even making him bleed, I did it not once not twice but three more times before, I spoke again I will never love you and I hope you are happy. I jumped the fence and ushered my colt away, I stopped at the far end of the paddock. Do you see that big bird way up there? I asked him softly, that is a hawk, see how he is circling around that field? That is because he hunting, I looked down at him and smiled, it was true I would never ever love Lightning again he was a dirty filthy stallion who was only looking to spread his lines. I nuzzled my colt and then played with the latch on the halter and finally it slipped right off, does that feel better? I spoke, flicking my ears back to catch any noises like hoofbeats or something on the lines of that.

[racingbelle]

Oh no. She found out. Crud. I wanted to see my son but she was too angery. Maybe I should just leave. My neck hurt where she had bit it. "Dancer...please I didn't mean too it just kind of happened. I arrived here first, you know before you came. I want to see my foal and you can't stop me!" I went after her trying to get past her.

"Why mommy?", I asked. I watched her jump the fence and I followed her, disobeying. I felt mom nuzzle me and slip off the halter but I was too busy watching my dad. I darted away from mom and went up to my Dad. "Hi! I'm Storm Dancer! What's your name, dad?" I looked up at him with wide eyes. He was huge! I wondered if I would grow as big as him.

[arzu]

I let my foal go to his father, I turned and went into the barn. Sipping on the cool water in the bucket, I circled once, twice and then I lowered my frame so that I was looking at the front of the stall and not outside were I had been moments ago. I snorted and lowered my head, I still had weight to lose and right now laying on the ground was not helping but I was still tired. So that’s why I was here, in this stall and not out there and then there was the fact that my son had disobeyed me and now I was second guessing being a mother, I had messed up and ruined my life, I was done and over I was just going to be a mare who would amount to nothing. I raised my head and shook it and then lowered it back down falling asleep with ease.

[racingbelle]

"My name is Secret Lightning. I love you Storm, don't forget that no matter what happens between me and mommy. Now go play while I fix something." I trotted over to Dancer's stall. "Dancer wake up please, I'm sorry. It's really not what you think. I hung out in a cave with her for a while but she's not carrying my foal. She opened my eyes, Dancer, I really do love you. I love Storm too. He's beautiful. Please forgive me. You didn't mess up I did. Dancer..." I knew she was hurt and I was too, for hurting her. I walked into the stall and laid down next to her. "Dancer please..."

I didn't listen to daddy I only followed him to mommy's stall. What was going on? I wondered when I heard my dad speak. I didn't understand a thing but I stayed listening quietly.
