"Mine, Do mine next!"
"Not finished with mine!"
"Said next."
"Like brushed."
Tina giggled softly as she worked through the foals mane with the brush, getting out knots and tangles. "I'll get to you in a bit Jing-a-ling"
"I Ting-a-ling, she Jing-a-ling"
"Ok sorry, Ting-a-ling. Your next."
Carl smiled softly, since his wife had died a 6 months ago, they had been on the move, looking for work, the insurance covered the loss of the house, but with current market, no job for him in their old town, he figured an RV was better. His wife had been working, while he finished vet school, then looked for jobs around the area helping out with the local farms. It wasn't much, but with his wife's income it paid the bills. The fire had happened during the day, his wife was at home sick and he and Tina were out at a farm helping a foal be born.
He always wondered, what would happen if he had stayed home, or hadn't told her to take the nyquil and get some rest. She died in bed, probably sleeping through the fire alarms. If he had just stayed home that day, or had a friend stay with her, questions always came to his mind. Since then tina had tried to be strong, its hard on a young girl to be moving around alot, not able to keep or make friend, this is the first time she really seemed happy, in months he thought.
"Ok Ting-a-ling, your turn... OW.. your a little heavy to jump onto my legs Ting. Just sit still and I'll get your hair done."
"We get our ribbons back?"
"There soaking in the sink right now, I'll dry them, then put them on your tails again, ok?"
"Yay!"
At least she's happy, and they seem to be ok right now, he had sat with them all last night while they cried themselves to sleep, they really do miss their Mom and sister. He glanced back at them then at the road, he had been lucky, sticking to side roads, off main highways and interstates, he had generally avoided the local police, he wanted to get out of florida, texas might work, enough places there to hide.
"Ok, who wants smoothies?"
"Oh me, me me... Squash squish!"
"Carrot Supreme please!" Ting looked to Jing and giggled
Tina stuck her tongue out, "I think I speek for me and my dad when I say... ick. We have strawberry bannanna, or cherry, blueberry, raspberry combo"
"Strawberry nanna," Jing-a-ling piped up quickly.
"Umm, berry combo." Ting-a-ling said nodding.
"Strawberry bannanna up front too please." Carl said chuckling.
* * * * *
"What did she mean by birthright?" Bon Bon said in her sleeping bag looking at Stardancer.
Starshine lay on her bed hugging her pillows under her neck looking down at the girls, Bon Bon, Sweetheart, and Clover had been put up on her room for the night, Ace and Teddy were camping out in the tent out back, and Happyglow and Starglow were downstairs in the living room. "Its based on the cutie-marks. You have them too, they determin our duties and our jobs."
"Cutie-mark?" Clover looked at Starlight.
"Hip marks, they call them cutie-marks." Starlight said, noding slowly. "We've always called them flank or hip marks."
Stardancer nodded slowly, "Well here, if your born with a dancing shoe, your a dancer, thats it. Thats all thats expected of you, its all you are."
"I'm studding to be a dancer." Clover said. "I'm not very good but I try hard."
"Don't sell yourself short clover, you were great as a harliquin." Bon Bon said.
"We really and truely loved it." Sweetheart said.
"But do you like dancing? Do people tell you thats all your allowed to think about?"
"No." clover said looking down.
"But I like lots of stuff, swimming, fasion magazines, I'm ok at acting." Bon Bon said."Stuff other then cooking."
"Or eating." Clover said before getting an airmailed pillow from Bon Bon.
"My mom's traditional like most here, she belives I should only dance, not explore, not cook, not farm. Farming is only for earth ponies with the marks, they must do that job and not complain or think about something else."
"Thats awful." Starlight said. "The pony settlers that came, set up the laws that said we could choose what we wanted to be, decide what we wanted to do."
"Since my power doesn't really fit dancing through, mom doesn't even like me using it."
"Power?" Clover asked tilting her head.
"Unicorn power, my magic."
"Sorry theres not alot of unicorns back home." Starlight said
"Well each unicorn generally has a special ability, usually based on an elemental effect. Creating bubbles, teleporting, creating wind or fog."
"Oh like Dazzleglow can make herself and those around her turn into balls of light to fly super fast." Clover said.
"Yep, thats her special power." Stardancer said.
"Or when she used her horn to light the fire or mend the hold in the balloon." Bon Bon said. "Ok so I belive patch about it now."
They all giggled at Bon Bon, though Stardancer tilted her head looking confused "Thats 3 different effects, so it would have had to be 3 different unicorns. Yes though, that sorta stuff, in general most unicorns can make their horns glow, though they automatically glow if we are using our power. Some of us can teleport, though the exact effect of the teleport, usually is dependent on our elemental. So a fog would vanish in a puff of fog, or a bubble might pop out in a cloud of bubbles."
"Whats yours?" Clover asked.
"Starfire." She said lowering her head, "Not big for dancing."
"Starfire?" Starlight asked looking at her
"Yeh I can make big flashes of light that blind people. Its not a dancing power. I can throw them and they burst illuminating an area or if close to someone blind them for a while."
"Well its still useful, should be allowed to use and practice with it even if it isn't dancing". Sweetheart said encouragingly.
* * * * *
Melodey huged her mom, leaning against her "I never knew how much I'd miss them."
Mel's mom softly brushed her mane with her houf "I do too, but they are looking for them, they will find them."
"I know, I trust my friends."
"I was thinking of the police melodey, I know you wanted to go with them to the farm but, I just need you here right now."
"I know mom. I'm just so worried."

You can see it at the beginging of "the play's the thing" easly, its also in battle of the bands but harder to see there. |

Thank you for the info, I always wonderd why they put the bow into their tail. What do you think? Well its something thats harkens back to G1 and the pony movies. It doesn't look bad and its often used to tell ponies close togeather appart <though since both jing and ting use the same color ribbon, no help there> also the toys were packed with the ribbons. |

I do my research now there was a "stardancer" pony sold, but she was an earth pony. But since the toys turned prettybeat from the rock in beets into a unicorn. I figure i could turn one of the g1 ponies into a unicorn fair and square . |

"Whats a BOLO?" Lancer asked floping down in the chair with, looking out the window in the studdy."
"Be On the Look-out," Brighteyes said, typing on the computer.
Patch tilted her head "Wouldn't that be Bolt-o?"
"Human thing. They say bolo. It means police, sherifs, and such, are on notice to look for a man, his daughter, and 2 equine foals."
"Could it be the twins?" Lancer said perking abit.
"Well, blue-grey, with blond mane and tail, unlisted or unidentifed breed. It could be."
Patch and Lancer looked at each other then both dove for the computer looking at the screen.
"Whats it say?" patch asked quickly.
Brighteyes acked and pushed them both away to give herself room to work. "Well it just says he's on the look, and to notify the DHS, i'll look that up later, on sighting, do not attempt to apporach or apprehend."
"Whats app... app..appre..."
"Apprehend, it means to take prisoner or to hold. It seems they want information but they want to capture themselves for some reason." Brighteyes said nodding. "You really need to read more Patch."
"Blah, its always so hard to stay interested in reading. I'd prefer just to do sports, biking, running, or something like that."
Lancer nodded looking to Patch "I know. But sometimes readings needed."
"Well at least we know what we are looking for now," Brighteyes said "I can follow this for information but we need a way to get there."
"We'd need a vehical, car, van." Patch said.
"Lucky I brought a months allowance with me."
"And you couldn't loan us money for a T-Set." Brighteyes said working.
"Well... It was for the girls club and you never asked."
Brighteyes nodded. "You know, according to this every jangle is worth about 2500 of their... Dollars. A car to buy new might be as much as... 8 jangles. Thats to by a new one outright."
"Jangles are worth that much?" Patch said looking over Brighteyes shoulder.
"Well, each coin is about 3 oz of gold. Gold works out around 850 dollars per oz. So..." Brighteyes stoped looking at Patch who was sitting there, eyes crossed tongue sticking out, "What patch."
"Math, big numbers. Bad."
Lancer and Brightglow laughed.
* * * * *
Melodey hugged her mom tight, the lightning storm had lasted about 10 min, and knocked out power all through ponyland. Bon Bon's dad and the rest of the fire department were busy putting out small fires started by lightning strikes, and Mel's mom sat by the phone waiting incase the hostpital needed her. Mr Bloom helped with city power, cutting and splicing downed lines, and cutting metal braces for repairs.
All through the town ponies hurried and worked to repair the damage, searching for any injured.
* * * * *
"As you can see gentalman, the system is capable of generating power equiatable to a 2.5 Gigawatt reactor in a much smaller area, and without the effects of radiaton" Dr Zular spoke, shutting the system down. "With information gained from the Large Hardon Collider in france, we have managed essentially a zeropoint energy system."
"There is still some questions about safty however," one of the senit members spoke up "the term, plugging a 100 watt bulb directly into godd comes to mind. Research as questioned or postulated that such a system could generate exotic particals that might not be readly detected."
The dr looked to the director, who stood up "Gentleman, ladies, people postualted that the sound barrier was unbreakable, a solid wall in physics, past which no mater could pass. Now I will admit, at this time we do not know the full aspects of this system, but with continued funding, we can iron out all such fears."
"Next vote on this issue will be in 3 weeks, Director Stevens but we are impressed." The members of the senit oversite comitty filtered out.
Dr Zular adjusted his glasses and sighed, "I have become death, destoyer of worlds."
"Oppenheimer," The director said looking to the docter, "but this isn't an atomic bomb, and you have your funding to continue research."
"I am worried about exotic particals however."
"I have not seen anything in any report from you, or any other staff saying any about that." The director looked to dr Zular sternly.
"Because we have never detected anything, but we cant rule out their creation in the other..."
"The other what? Running the system with the lowlevel set up caused no mater leakage, there was no issue." The director turned walking out.

Asunder 10
Starlight and the rest headed into town, into the old library building, while most of the building seemed old fasion to the girls, the library building was by far the oldest, an old stone building with steple, and large double doors, almost like a school house, but with a darker, feal. Heading inside they saw the rows of books on the walls, large pillows had been scattered on the floor, and several large comphy chairs were against the walls.
"This is our library, its not as big as the one in unicornia, but it might help some." Stardancer said softly.
Starlight, Clover and Bon Bon began searching the books, as well as Ace. Teddy took to looking at the pictures and tapestries on the walls, while Happyglow and Starglow looked at some scrolls. Starlight pulled down history books glancing trough them, Bon Bon looked across the bindings at the fiction books with Ace holding slected books for her.
"This is going to take a while." Teddy said, "Theres well over 100 books here.
"More like 1000 teddy." Said Starlight as she looked through a book.
Bon Bon looked to Happyglow "What exactly are we looking for?"
"References to humans."
They all stoped as they heard the crash and books falling, looking over they saw Clover laying partly under a pile of books, one book open on her muzzle "Sorry..."
Shaking her head starlight walked over "Clover, be careful."
"I know, I know, I'm just so clumsy sometimes." Clover whined.
Taking the book off Clovers muzzle Starlight blinked. "And lucky..." Sitting down Starlight began reading. "Over the centures, humans have incured on the lands, entering by means of chance or magick. They came searching for ancient powers left here long ago. Wizards and witches, demon possessed and warlocks, they follow the paths of greed, enslaving, destoying and corrupting. Occationally good humans arived, either brought or traveling through by accident to battle the evil."
"So humans are bad?"
"Well not all apparently, but it looks like they tend to be more greed driven..." Starlight said as she read. "Since the time of the great cataclysm we have been free of humans, and while some do come, we have never truely felt their wrath, or their opression."
Teddy blinked "Whats that mean."
"We've been lucky?" Stardancer said, "whats the cataclysm?"
"I don't know, the rest of the pages talk about rebuilding the lands as a free group," Starlight said "Also something here about a group of earth ponies that left these lands to settle an island far away after the cataclysm."
"So we need older books," Happyglow said, then looked to stardancer "Unicornia?"
Stardancer nodded "Unicornia. I'll guide you."
"Your parents said no, and I really and truely don't want you getting in trouble." Sweetheart said.
"Sometimes you need to do what is right, and stand up for what you belive in."
* * * * *
"We are created in Gods immage, we are his chosen, his voice, and is form."
Carl loaded some corn, carrots, and greenbeens into the box at the farmers market, trying to ignore the man on the stand preaching. "Tina, can you get the apples and bring them to the camper."
"Sure dad." Tina picked up the basket of apples with both hands, with a grunt. "Got enough?"
"We were created with domain over the land, over the animals."
Tina looked at him "Yet we kill animals."
"Animals do not have souls, they are mearly created to serve us, so it is not against the bible to kill them. Only those in Gods immage have souls."
"Tina... Don't start..." Carl said looking at his daughter sternly.
Sighing she lugged the basket into the camper then came out again helping her dad with the vegitables. "I know, I just hate people who force their beliefs on others."
"Do you hate me for forcing you to go to bed?" He asked carrying the patato's back.
"Daad.... Only when its in the middle of a movie." She giggled.
Ruffling her hair he looked across the market "Stay here with the twins, I'll get the last boxs."
Jing-a-ling and Ting-a-ling lay watching TV giggling, as tina came in sitting down, an older cartoon about magical horses was on tv, and it seemed to have the girls entertained. Sitting between them Tina rubbed both their backs, "You two ok?"
"We kay..." Jing-a-ling said cheerfully.
"Want to go out and play" Ting a ling piped up.
"Not safe here to meny people, you might get hurt."
"But all cramped in here," Ting-a-ling whined.
"I'm sure dad will find a place where you two can play outside for a while safely. We can all play tag or catch."
"Yay!" Ting-a-ling looked up excited.
Carl came back in loading and putting away the last of the groceries, at least with a farmers market there wasnt likely to be a paper trail, camra's, or such to give them away to the police. "Everyone ready to head off again?"
"Were fine back here dad." Tina called out and huged the twins..
Jing-a-ling looked to the window then looked up at tina. "Do I have soul?"
