first entry: Monthly challenge for Bear Run, favorite holiday

{random narrator bc why not}
Today was the day, it's make up your mind day.
Hitomi was waiting, wishing, praying that he'd tell her today.
He, funny isn't it? Everyone thinks of someone different. Hitomi thinks of Nolan.
He's a shy boy, with a fascination with the ocean some would call odd, but not Omi.
The second stallion at Safehaven, and the first mare, almost meant to be some say.


Anyway~ back to the importance of this day. You know how you always put things off, even important decisions? well today is the day to finally make any and all decisions.
Everyone's been hinting to Nolan that he should confess his undying love to her,
but him being an awkward turtle, most of the others thought he wouldn't have the guts.
So there Hitomi was, eagerly awaiting the confession with her best friend JackieLantern, when it starts to storm. Perfect timing, right?
The earth seemed to shake with each roaring clap. The sky darkened and the only light coming from the flashes of lightening. Other tolters scattered, some broke out of their stalls, others the fences. The owners scrambled to get the frenzy under control, and through the illuminated storm a stallion made his way towards her.

It was Nolan, covered scratches and limp rose in his mouth. It was obvious to Hitomi then that he had spent the day searching the fields for a rose, and the thorny bushes just by the mountain side must have cut him up. It didn't matter they were covered in mud, or that the rose was broken, it mattered that he made up his mind to be with her.
Out of all the gorgeous tolters in the enitre of the world, it was her, a simple penguin-looking mare. She kissed him then and there, in the pouring rain, the couple's silhouette only visible with every strike of light. From under the cover of the barn, you could hear shouts and cheers of excitement.
"FINALLY!"
"I KNEW IT!"
"WE'VE BEEN WAITING FOREVER"
"IT'S THANKS TO ME"
But both Hitomi and Nolan knew, if it wasn't make up your mind day, she could have been waiting another year until he managed to admit his undying love as he did on this terrible stormy day.

"you know, illa, we've been friends for awhile right?" the chocolate boy smirked, leaning in closer to the mare he's loved for the past year.

"I suppose, Bo" the vanilla girl giggled, raising her head from grazing to face him eye to eye.

"Well, I'm a chocolate bunny..." he trailed off, pawing the ground nervously. His eyes lowered as he began to choke on his own words. This is the third time this week he's tried to confess, but every time something's gotten in his way. This time? It was the way she smiled so innocently at him. It was too cute.

"And I'm vanilla pudding" illa nuzzled him, forcing him to raise his head again. "go on, Bobo" she urged him to continue. Something had been bothering him all week, but she just couldn't put her hoof on it. She hated seeing him this way, especially sense he's usually a giant goofball.

"Will you be my mate Illa? pretty please, with a cherry on top?" His words came out quickly and jumbled. "I know we've only known each other for a year but I can't picture anyone sweeter than you" he rambled on and on, not allowing her to speak in fear of her response.

"Bobo!" she huffed, stopping her hoof down to get his attention. He looked like a nervous wreck. "Of course, you big dummy" she smiled, melting into his embrace. "I've loved you sense day one Bo, but I can believe it took you this long to realize it" she smirked, looking up at him.

"Hey!" he laughed, nipping at her mane. Seeing her smile and knowing it was all for him made him swoon.

"Catch me if you can, bunny boy!" she reared up and galloped off, the sun glistening against her cremello coat. Bobo smiled, and chased after the girl of his dreams.

Commission two: the bullies w/ art - 532 words

"You're disgusting" the mare snorted, nipping at Wordsworth's shoulder, drawing blood.

"Who would love such an ugly mare anyways?" another stood, towering over the petite hairless and frightened Wordsworth. "You're nothing, I hope you know that" she spat, causing her to cower away.

"Just what the hell do you think you're doing?" a large, dark stallion bellowed from behind them. The two mares shot around to face him, and despite being larger they were no where close to his size. "Leave, now. If I catch you bothering anyone again, we'll have trouble" he raised his head higher, his muscles rippling under his grullo coat.

Wordsworth began to shrink away, her shoulder dripping blood from the bully's bite. "HEY!" she heard the stallion call, but she tried her best to ignore him. That is until he quickly caught up to her, and followed her all the way to her stall.

He stood, watching her lick the wound on her shoulder. "What's your name?" he asked cautiously stepping closer.

"What do you want?" she sighed, slipping into one of her favorite sweaters once the wound was cleaned.

"I just want to help, someone as beautiful as you doesn't deserve that kind of torture" he smiled, and snuggling into her neck. "You are beautiful" he reiterated to her.




"Wordsworth" she cracked a small smile, leaning closer into him. "My name is Wordsworth"


He smiled, looking up to meet her gaze. "It's nice to finally meet you Wordsworth, I'm Warden" he felt his heart beat quicken when she snuggled under his neck. The chilly breeze blew in, a warning of Winter.

"I'll protect you, all right?" Warden stepped away, to admire her in her sweater. He could stare at her for years, and get lost in those memorizing eyes. "I won't let anyone hurt you anymore, I don't see why they do anyway. I've seen you around, and I've always thought you were gorgeous since the first day you arrived" he could feel the heat in his cheeks.

"What a charming confession" she giggled, looking down. She felt something she's never felt before. The need to be with someone, the hope of being happy, a first love.

"Do you....?" he trailed off, shaking his head. He didn't quite know how to approach this, as he too had never really felt this way. It's always been minor crushes, or just a summer love. He's had four beautiful foals, but never with someone he'd want to spend the rest of his life with. Finally, he found that special girl.

"We'll see" she prompted. flicking her tail with a sly smile. "I like you Warden, I'll give you that" she stepped out of her stall, and towards the field she was in before. Warden not far behind her, already trapped under her unique beauty.

"Winter's coming. How about, when Spring arrives, you tell me if you want to be my mate" he bargained, walking around to her side so they could be together.

"Hm, I like that. 'Til spring then, Warden" she began to trot off, only to hear him shout. "Impress me if you can~" she turned back, then galloped off leaving him frustrated, but still in awe.

"Oh no, this stall is disgusting!" Honeybee groaned, looking around her new stall at Paradise Pines. "It looks like it hasn't been cleaned in weeks. I, deserve more than this" she huffed, and with a flick of her tail she trotted out into the enclosure. She smirked, seeing the other tolter's heads turn to watch her beauty.

All but one. A frightening looking mare, standing by her mother and father, both equally terrifying. The whole family seemed to be ignoring her! She pawed the ground in frustration, and trotted closer to them.

"Hello, I'm new to Paradise Pines" she said warmly with an overly sweet smile. The mother, bowed her head then turned her attention back to her daughter's conversation.

The father eyed her, obviously suspicious of the new mare. He smiled softly, "I am Preston, this is the lovely Desmond and our first foal Mickey. It's a pleasure" he said as politely as possible.

Honeybee rolled her eyes. "It's honeybee, my name by the way" she coughed, annoyed by the fact no one asked. After all, she was the most beautiful mare here.

Mickey gracefully stepped in front of her father, who was about to loose his temper. "Sense you obviously need attention, as you interrupted our conversation of a sibling, I'll show you around" and with that she turned and started to walk off.

Honeybee was in shock, but she quickly snapped out of it with the mother's laughter.

"Hurry up buttercup!" the impatient mare shouted over her shoulder, and Honeybee couldn't help but scurry after her. She walked alongside her in silence, listening as the skeleton mare explained their surroundings.

"There's a cool place, just through the clearing over their. It's where I go to think, it's peaceful" Mickey smiled softly, turning back to Honeybee and stopping. "That's just about everything here, unless you want me to introduce you to the other tolters"

Honeybee had oddly enjoyed listening to her, speaking with such passion about her little home. "Uh - um" she coughed, shaking her head. "I'd um really like that, I mean if you could - " she stuttered across her words.

Mickey laughed, "It's alright buttercup, we're a small herd. You'll fight right in" she turned and continued walking, this time in the direction of a small cluster of tolters.

For the first time in forever, Honeybee was nervous to meet the others, to show herself off. She had quickly realized she wasn't the most beautiful, that Mickey was. The way she passionately talked, walking with such confidence and grace, that's true beauty.

"Don't be nervous, if I like you, they'll like you just as much" Mickey reassured her, as they arrived to the group. "I'd like to introduce someone new guys, her name is Honeybee" she smiled, turning to look back at her.

She was greeted with a chorus of hellos, welcomes, and showered with compliments. A small smile peaked onto her lips, and eventually it grew into laughter as they began to laugh and tell stories of how nervous they were when they first arrived. The oldest stallion, River, had quite the stories.

Mickey leaned over, whispering in her ear, "Told you, maybe you just listen to me next time" she giggled at the blush against her honey cheeks. The two indulged themselves in the comfort of the herd.

Back near the tree, the mother and father, Desmond and Preston, still stood. Preston never took his eyes off the two, still weary of the newcomer.

"Relax, Pres, it's fine" Desmond smiled, playfully nipping her mate's mane to get his attention.
"I just want out little girl to be safe" Preston nuzzled into her.
"I guess it's not the time to say I ship it, is it?"

"I'm telling you, it's easiest just to watch them burn!" Arsonist snapped, quite irritated by Ultron's belief.

"That's just mindless killing, no point. Force them to evolve, to change into what I want them to be. I they can't, then they die. Your idea is just dumb" She smirked, trotting away from the now furious Arsonist.

"DUMB?!" she shouted, running after her 'friend'. You can't escape this fight that easy she thought.

It was too easy to get Arsonist riled up. That's what Ultron loved about their friendship, that it was constant bickering over world domination strategies.

"Yes, dumb. If you watch them all burn, you get nothing in return. It's a give a take, they do what you say and you let them live. You must grow a following, an army stuck under your thumb" she tried to explain, rolling her eyes at Arsonist's face.

"That doesn't sound like it would work very well. Threaten them with fire first" Arsonist snorted, turning away from her.

"It worked for the Romans. Let's see, how can I make you understand?" Ultron pondered the thought, flicking her tail with a glint in her eyes. "'I'm the Romans, an unstoppable empire. You're the Vikings, thieves with brute force" she snickered as Arsonist whipped her neck around.

"Well either way we both died out!" she stopped her hoof down, annoyed at Ultron's fit of laughter.

"How about a compromise?" her voice followed by a mischievous 'hmmm'. "I'll be the ring leader, forcing the change. Those who do not you can just burn, alright? happy now you baby?" she smiled.

"Fine" Arsonist grumbled. "As long as they burn"

Ultron shook her head laughing. "Come on grumpy puss, let's go eat"
