Somewhere inside, a bubble of hot frustration burned in Gemma's veins, an angry impulse that she had never felt before. Why was Layla keeping her from making friends? Why could Aspen go off and have a foal, and she was stuck here, lying in the grass, waiting for night when she would need to lie in the grass some more. The sensation only lasted for a moment, just a moment. In its wake, Gemma felt ashamed. Surely Layla knew what she was doing. There had to be a reason she was kept from her sister.

Suddenly she felt the colt sidle up next to her, and she lifted her muzzle curiously, sniffing. "Hi," she whispered, twisting her ears around so she could listen fully to the little colt.

"I know you love your sister, but you must listen to mommy now." Layla said sternly.

"Hewwo Mwommy!" He cried happily, nuzzling Gemma.

Gemma said nothing, not trusting herself to say the right words.

"Oh," she smiled excitedly. "A new brother!"

"No thanks." He said simply.

"Are you sure?" She asked.

"Yeah." He said quietly.

"A-alright. See ya 'round." Esther said, walking to a tree and laying down under it.

"No dear, he thinks you're his mom..." Layla whispered.

The colt snuggled into Gemma. "Wi found oo!".

"Have you thought about names?" He asked softly, still several feet away.

"Uhh, no... But don't you want to see your foal?!" She asked.

"Of course! I didn't want you to be uncomfortable, though," He answered, looking up from the ground.

"I'm not mad right now... I just had a foal!" She said calmly.

"Oh," she sniffed the foal again, wary. He seemed all right. "Who are you?" she smiled kindly, hoping she was at least looking in his direction. "I'm Gemma."

"When did you see your mommy last? Before you saw me." she asked kindly, rising to her hooves with a weary groan.

"Oo aww Mwommy! I saw oo hewe!" He said quietly, prepared to bolt off if it wasn't really his mom.

"Gemma, please don't go anywhere." Layla sighed.

Shadow watched Gemma from a distance.
