Chapter 2
Everyone got up at the crack of dawn to have breakfast like usual, except Nite, who woke up a couple hours before dawn, gulped down some iron ores, and went outside. The only one who knew about this was, of course, Marble, when she heard him go out and decided to follow him. She found him sitting all alone on a slab of stone, and as she sat down beside him, she asked,
"Are you thinking about your old home?"
Nite sighed, "What makes you think that?"
"Pinkie mentioned something about it. So what happened? You can tell me.", she returned, really concerned for the welfare of her new friend.
"Well," Nite replied as Marble snuggled up with him, for it was cold out, but Nite's fur kept her plenty warm, "Picture this: A vast field of green grass, rocks scattered around, trees as well, and a warm, babbling brook next to my tree, I lived in the top of a tree at the time..."
"That sounds so beautiful! I wish I could have seen it!", Marble sighed dreamily, it was a dream come true, being this close to Nite.
"It was, but you wanna know what all that made way for? A shopping mall!", he shouted angrily before bursting into tears.
"Oh my gosh! I'm so sorry!", Marble gasped, putting both her hooves around Nite. She started singing a little song to him,
Home is simply where you feel at home,
Home is simply with your dearest friends.
There's no other place just like it,
Where each long day ends,
Home...
Home is simply where you are loved,
Home is simply composed of love.
It will always be with your heart,
Filled with love, from up above.
(I made these lyrics myself, so don't be surprised if they sound cheesy!)
She sang these two verses once more before Nite (As in Knit) said, "Thank you, I feel much better."
"Good, let's go home and have a proper breakfast.", she smiled, running her hoof through his fur.
