Whooser's POV

It was high noon, the sun was set high in the sky and the ranch was at it's most active point. Foals were running around, kicking dirt and other profanities behind them as they chased eachother around, giggling and laughing. Many were grazing peacefully together, other were drinking from the stream. Me? I was trying to get these peaches out of the trees in the glade. Snorting, I reared upwards, striking the trunk of the fruit-bearing tree with my hooves in an attempt to knock them down. Nothing. They didn't even budge. I snorted, craning my neck upwards- damn, too high. I glared at the fruit as If I could somehow make them fall with my mind. No, I didn't have telekinesis, but, I did have......Grinning, I worked up a fast trot in the opposite direction from the tree- heading away from it. The trot soon became a run, and the run and fast sprint. Once I had a generous distance between me and my target, I whipped around, kicking up dirt behind me as I did so. My eyes narrowed at the tree as if were a mortal enemy of mine, before I reared up, giving out a type of war cry and charging the tree. My sprint soon quickened to the point where I looked more like a blur than a horse. Lowering my head and bracing myself for impact, I collided with the tree with enough force to send a avalanche of peaches raining down onto the ground. Dazed, I waited for the world to stop spinning before nickering a sound of victory to myself. Chewing on my prizes triumphantly, I saw something in the corner of my eye. There, sitting in the shade of another peach tree, was a lone mare, seemingly drawing something in the ground in front of her. Her ears were pinned backwards against her head, and she looked overall troubled. "Hey!" I neighed out at her, attempting to get her attention. She didn't react- I'm probably too far for hear me. It seemed odd that she was sitting alone when regularly we would be in a herd, grazing and talking with each other. Thinking she was probably upset because she couldn't get a peach herself, I picked of my own up and began trotting over to her. I walked up behind where she was sitting quietly, careful to not startle her. It was then I heard soft sniffles and hiccups- was she crying? "Hello..?" I asked softly, now practically beside her. "You alright?" The mare jumped, quickly turning around to face me. She hurriedly wiped her face, confirming my suspicions. I threw the peach to the side, before sitting down beside her. "I...wasn't expecting anyone else to be here," The mare nickered softly. I bumped her side playfully, trying to cheer her up. "What's the matter? It doesn't seem very nice to be sitting up here all by yourself," I questioned, generally curious about what was troubling the mare. "Well..." She started, panting slightly, "I figured the other horses wouldn't want to be around someone who...." She paused, thinking for a second before continuing, "Can't control their....'Abilities'." I scoffed sarcastically, rolling my eyes. "C'mon, surely you have some control?" She shook her head slowly, sighing. "I couldn't even hit an elephant two feet away from me if I tried." My eyes softened, and I bumped her again, trying to perk her up, "Well how about a little target practice?" I brayed, standing up and nudging her to get up too. "What d'you mean?" She asked, her voice now slightly excited and curious. "Well, I'll run around a little ways away, and you aim, and fire!" I explained, smiling as I began heading out towards a field. "What?!" She screeched, running up to catch up with me. "That's insane! What if I hit you?" She whimpered, clearly worried out of her mind. "You won't. You're not the only ones with powers, y'know." "So what can YOU do?" I smirked, looking back at her and winking, "You'll see," I chuckled, putting some distance between us and looking over at her, "READY?!" "AS I'LL EVER BE!" I laughed, before working up a run and then a sprint, soon picking up enough speed to look like I was practically flying over the ground. Behind me, I heard the fast 'WHOOSH' of a burst of fire flying WAY above me, clearly way of target. "TRY AGAIN!"

* * * *

A few hours had past. I was exhausted, my lungs burned and I felt like my heart would burst from my chest at the rate it was pounding. I walked up to the mare slowly, an exasperated smile on my face, "Heh....you did....really well." She, too, was panting, clearly tuckered out as well. Her face lit up happily, and she came up and rubbed her head against mine in gratitude. "Thank you," She nickered, before looking up at me with bright teal eyes, "Say, I never got your name," "Whooser," I nickered, holding my head up proudly, "And you?" "Royal," She grinned, "Royal Adelaide," I began walking towards the stables, seeing as it was nearly evening and all the others were already steadily filing into their stables, and gestured for her to follow. "Well, Royal," I nickered as she walked up beside me, "Can we do this again tomorrow?"
