Living with Chubs- A Chub horse roleplay

[puddssoul]

Isabelle moaned lowly, her pulse was a butterfly fluttering weakly against her skin as though it were trying to free itself, her breathing was fast and shallow. Her eyes were dull and listless when she opened them to peer at them and cringed at the bright light of the stables. "A... Aura," She murmured, pointing weakly to the little girl who was whimpering softly as she squirmed about, trying to get herself off of the cold floor, "Fi... first." It was obvious she wanted them to help her daughter before they did anything for her, and after she had spouted out the words, she closed her eyes and emitted a deep, low sigh, yet she kept breathing and hanging on. She looked thin, and her stomach grumbled audibly into the open air as she lie there, weak and getting weaker by the minute. The cold floor was sapping the life out of her. Coal swiftly lifted up the little filly and settled her into the crook of his back, and the little one whimpered with confusion but otherwise stopped her squealing. "What can we do for her?" Coal murmured to Snowy, looking at Isabelle with confusion. He didn't know what to do, he'd never learned anything medicinal as a foal.

"A'course I do... Straw," Sammy retorted rather slyly, grabbing the sugar cube and swallowing it down with a little grin. "Yum." She grabbed another one from a little pile Hana had heaped beside the food bin and handed it to Prism. "Try, they're really sweet." Prism hesitantly licked the treat, then her eyes widened as she realized what it was and she quickly gobbled it down in one or two big bites. Hana giggled at the two of them acting like sisters, while Fireworks was still watching them intently, trying to figure them out, in between snatching a straw or two out of his mother's bundle of hay to gnaw on contentedly. "Wa." He repeated thoughtfully after his father said it, grinning crookedly at his dad.

Fishbowl was sketching his owner leaning up against one of the crooked fence posts of the pasture when suddenly something caught his eye. He glanced up, nearly dropping his favored blonde pencil when he spotted a rather lovely young mare. He'd never seen anyone able to look so beat up yet beautiful. Her inner beauty was shining through, and he immediately knew he had to draw her. He flipped to a new page in his tablet of paper and began to sketch her, the rainbow droop of her hair, the little black flower and matching handprint on her rump. She was thin but lovely, like an angel too sweet to realize she had been hurt. He finished it rather quickly (even for him!) and shyly hid it away with his other drawing things before creeping over to her, blushing slightly as he smiled at her serene singing voice, then introduced himself, "Hi, I'm Swimming In The Fishbowl. It's nice to meet you -- you must be new here." He added after seeing how lost she looked in the large pasture. He was so glad he got to be the first to greet her.

Snowy's eye widened. "I- I dunno, This is the one thing neither of us know and it is at the wrong time." She looked and Minty was there, she didn't scream this time. She weakly neighed. "Follow your heart, show her you care, it'll come to you I promise!" She faded away. Snowy yelled, "Wait!" but Minty had already faded away. She realized something, she bolted off. "I'll be right back!" She yelled back to Coal. She grabbed her mom and came back panting. "Mom, spell, save her!" She panted. Pink nodded and tried a spell, a healing spell and waited. Snowy sighed and nuzzled Isabelle. "Everything will be okay, I promise!" Snowy frowned suddenly, she was awaiting the results she knew what she had to do, give up something she loved for the spell to work. She sighed, not knowing what to chop off. She decided to chop off part of her tail and mane, which she had taken pride in keeping it so long that it was half of Rapunzel's size if she were a chub. She winced and grabbed scissors that were near-by and chopped it off. She watched and waited to see if it would work and save her. If not, all was lost.

Dot giggled at little Fireworks trying to say his words. "Yeah, Water!" He went over to the Water bin, "This is water, Fireworks!" He saw him steal the straw from his mom and grinned at him and gave him a hoofs up. He loved Fireworks so much, he meant so much to him. He loved this new feeling. He listened to everything, he had a random idea. "You know sometime, we should have a day of silence, just listening to birds chirp and other nature sounds? How cool would that be?" He smiled, a day of silence would be a day of happiness and peace for some chub and for chubs like that Bubble mare, which he only knew from them being owned by the same owner, it would be hard for those chubs who never shut up.

Hope ended the song as Fishbowl was approaching. She jumped, when he introduced himself, she had just gotten out of the singing zone and when she did, she couldn't hear or see anything in the world, she was that concentrated. She shyly, smiled a bit. "Yeah, I just got here, I'm The Miracle of Hope, Hope for short!" She blushed looking at herself, she neighed a bit upset. "I'm sorry, I um look this way, it is a long story, that most chubs wouldn't even care about!" She looked at the ground, embarrassed. She gazed at Fishbowl shyly, and also she was a bit scared after all that happened to her. She made it look like she perfectly fine. Her tail swished lazily and her ears were pricked, and she had hid all the fear, the only way to see it was in her eyes. She might look outgoing but she is afraid, afraid that she will be treated horribly or ignored by other chubs.

Chippy watched Hope sing and when she ended he was a bit dissapointed. There was something he liked about this mare but as soon as he was about to go up to her he noticed another stallion so he just backed away.

Isabelle slowly began to stirr, looking about her groggily she noticed a whole group of ponies around her and her eyes widened in shock. Her voice was hoarse and weak, but she asked, "Where's my daughter?" "She's right here." Coal replied soothingly, turning so Isabelle could see the little filly sleeping contentedly on his back, warm once again. Isabelle sighed with relief and lay her head back down. "I'm so... weak. I don't know... why." She murmured, seeming to be having trouble catching her breath as well. "Will someone... please fetch... Anastasia? She'll... get me to my... stall." The little filly on Coal's back awakened and began to cry out when she realized she didn't know where she was or who she was with, the unfamiliar scents flooding her little nose, and Isabelle quickly hurried to say, "It's okay, Aura... mommy's here. Everything's going to be... okay. Don't worry, love." Aura seemed to calm down slightly after that, even though she seemed thoroughly suspicious of the other chubs.

"It'd probably be pretty amazing," Hana admitted, but then she flicked her tail and added, "But I don't know if you could get all of the foals to be quiet for that long. Especially ones like him -- " She nodded gingerly at Fireworks, who grinned cheerily back at her, " -- who are just learning to talk and want to show off their words, eh?" Sammy nodded in agreement and giggled as she added, "I dunno if I could keep myself from talking all day, Dad. I AM a bit of a chatterbox, don't you remember?" She winked teasingly at him. Prism actually made a noise and giggled softly at Sammy's comment, her eyes twinkling slightly as she began to realize that the other chubs weren't a threat to her and she was welcome here. They all looked like one big happy family inside of that little stall, all snuggled together in a comforting and warm, loving way. Prism snuggled up closer against Sammy, and Sammy nuzzled her mane affectionately, like she would her own little sister.

"Hey, don't worry, most of us look like that when we get here." Fishbowl replied reassuringly, giving her a little crooked grin as he admitted, "I was covered in seaweed and muddy gunk when I got here, and I can assure you I didn't look half as good as you do." She looked surprisingly well for being put through what chubs usually are, he noted, but there was an odd little twinkle to her eye he couldn't quite place. He noticed Chippy backing away and slowly turned to him, "Hey, you're Kat's chub, right?" He smiled as kindly as he could, knowing they probably both had their eye on the same mare, but that didn't mean they couldn't be civil to each other. "You must be... Chippy?" He wasn't sure, but he thought he had heard a few of the other chubs call him that.

[ChubLover<3]

Snowy sighed with relief. "Everything is alright!" She neighed. "Maybe your weak from exhaustion?" She neighed slash asked. She tried to stay calm. Minty was no where to be seen but up in heaven she was smiling. She realized she had to something. Snowy ran and got Anastasia, she tugged on her sleeve and trotted off a bit, continuing to do that until she got the message. She then bolted back into the barn. "She's coming don't worry!" She neighed. She panted really hard, even though she was great at running, from showjumping, she had been running top speed back and forth all day, she was exhausted and dehydrated. Minty meanwhile appeared by Mel. "Mel!" She softly called. Mel had been lying in Minty's stall still crying. Minty gently put her hoof on her shoulder. "Mel, I'm here, I always will be, I'll always be here when you need me most, don't cry remember I am watching over you!: She faded and fizzled. Mel cried. "Don't go!" But it was too late.

Dot giggled, "Yeah, it would be cool. But imagine chubs like Bubble who have hard times being quiet for a minute. Also, those little foals like Fireworks, It would be all silent than you suddenly here, 'Daa, Maa, Pway?' That would be really cute though!" Dot snickered. "Yeah Sammy, I am too! But I guess I'm different since I daydream for a bit at a time!" He rolled a bit in the hay. He decided to try something, "Hey Firework, can you say I love you?" He neighed, knowing he would probably try to. He grinned at the little foal. He had this weird feeling, like he should check outside for something.

Hope brightened up a bit. "Did you live in the ocean?" She asked in awe. "Or, did you just go for a swim before you got here?" She asked curiously. "Really? I think you would of looked cool with seaweed and mud on you!" She had an idea for a song, she jotted it down quickly. "Sorry!" She neighed. "I just had an idea for a song I am writing and I wanted to jot it down before I forgot." She grinned a slight grin. "You have any hobbies? Mine is of course singing and songwriting, usually I make my own songs but I couldn't think of anything for a bit, so I just sang a few of actual songs to give me an idea!" She watched Chippy too. "Chippy? That is an unusual name for a chub!"

[puddssoul]

Anastasia was all too used to things like this and immediately realized that Snowy was trying to tell her that something was wrong. Her first thought was: Coal. The two were inseperable, it had to be him! But as soon as she saw that crumpled form, she knew it was little Isabelle, and her heart quickened. "Isabelle," She murmured, crossing her fingers that the stables hadn't just suffered another tragedy -- but then she saw Isabelle's tail flicker and she knew life was still with her. "Thank goodness." She murmured, then kneeled down beside her. Isabelle nickered weakly at her owner, and Anastasia, strong from working with chubs, gently helped her to stand. A new, almost frightening-looking chub came up on her other side, and they safely sandwhiched Isabelle between them, helping her slowly but surely to her stall. Coal motioned for Snowy to come, then slowly followed them with the little foal on his back as the child looked around herself with wonder, glad to see her mother up again, she was reassured and made soft chortling noises as they trotted along.

Fireworks was busy trying to lie upside down when he heard his father and gently tilted his head back, grinning and giggling at him, his father looked funny upside-down. "Wuv oo," He chirped, prodding his father slightly with a hoof. "Awwwww," Hana chirped, kissing the top of her son's head. "Wuv oo twoo," Fireworks added, prodding his mother as well. "And ooo. And ooo." He added after looking at Prism and Sammy. Both of the younger mares giggled, Prism had grown into nearly an adult by now, just slightly shorter than Sammy and perhaps a bit smaller in stature. "That has to be the cutest thing I've ever seen," Sammy admitted, grinning at him as she gently patted her younger brother's mane. Prism nodded in agreement, glancing toward the door as she saw a form pass by between a human and a chub, her eyes went wide as she sniffed at the air and the familiar scent filled her. "Mom?" She whimpered, standing and going to the door, seeing her mother, like a limp ragdoll between the two of them, her tail dragging on the floor, her head limp, eyes open but listless.

"You know, I think I was born there, or created there, or whatever... I'm not really sure. One day I just woke up there. I lived under the water for a while before I came here." Fishbowl replied, remembering his days of being under the waves with all of the underwater life, the fish, the seahorses. "That's cool that you like singing. I'm more of an artist myself." He pointed to his little black satchel. "I always carry paper and my colored pencils with me. My human bought them for me when I got here and she adopted me." He grinned crookedly. "I don't think Chippy's any odder a name than Fishbowl." He replied, then added, "You do have a lovely singing voice, Hope. Maybe you could have a concert here sometime for all of the chubs! I bet the foals would love you!"

[P0CKETKNIFE]

Chippy blushed a bit "Kat nammed me after a cookie brand!"

[tealbananas]

"Not as mates, but why can't we just be friends? I don't have a mate, so nobody will harm you. I just have one question, when will I ever get a mate? I've looked on for years but nothing. They all turn me down as friends, but we never turn out to be friends, Sunny. I'm hurt but to you I don't feel the need to show it. Why do you always blush around me? It gives me sadness, I'm sad everyday trying to see somebody, The only person I haven't tried is Blissful. I'm no cheater, trust me, but we can always work things out and be friends. I'm sad but I mean no anger to you, just curiousity. Trust me." Bella said with a sad tang in her voice.

[ChubLover<3]

Snowy nodded and followed Coal panting like a dog. She stayed on the side of him, making sure the filly doesn't fall off. She took a huge breath of air and swished her shortened tail a bit. She shook put her mane. She watched the foal and smiled a bit. Mel appeared with mascara stains, staining her face and her hair a mess. She looked at Anastasia, and softly hoarsely said, "Is there anything I can do to help?" Snowy continued following Coal, still panting, something was up. She knew what is was but she would have wait. She put on a brave smile and trotted along side Coal refusing to break a stride or be a pace behind him. She needed to make sure that foal was safe and that was what she was going to do. She sighed a bit and her ears went back a bit when she heard something move a bit outside but she didn't care and her ears went back up.

Dot smiled at his little Fireworks. "Wuv oo too, Fireworks." He gave him a kiss. "Your so cute, you know that right little Fireworks?" He giggled. "Your a lucky little one, with a great family, I mean look at your mom and sister and Prism, their the most amazing mares I have met!" He sighed with happiness. He giggled, randomly like he was. He saw his mom staring at him and he didn't know she was dead.. He smiled at her and waved. He didn't realize she was paler. He watched her, she seemed to just disappear. "Did any of you guys see that? Mom must be up to her old tricks making her seem mysterious!" He realized what was going on. He looked at Snowy and Coal. "What happened?" Snowy sighed a bit. "I don't know, it just happened. By the way I'm really sorry about your mom, Dot!" Dot stared. "What? I just saw her! What is going on?" Snowy didn't reply she was panting again really hard.

Fury settled down with his son by his side. "Dad who's my mother? She named me Shadow Flame not long ago, she must be around here somehwere!" Fury sighed at his sons comment. But said nothing.
