well.. save two of them.
Rota walks back and forth across the hallway.
Lauren groans, blaming Rota for her lack of sleep.
"ROTA! WHY CAN'T YOU JUST SLEEP?!"
Rota laughs
"Sorry Mom, I-I really don't know..."
Laurren facehoofs
"You've been like this for years hon,
and I know you SEEM healthy, but really, you desperately need your sleep!"
Luna begins to cry.
"GAH! NOT AGAIN!"
Lauren rushes to Luna.
she feeds her milk.
"Luna, WHY CAN'T YOU EAT DURING THE DAY?!"
(Both Rota and Luna don't sleep at night, much to their parents dismay,
Rota because in the future she LITERALLY never sleeps, and Luna because she's nocturnal."
Lauren plants her face on Luna's playpen.
"I swear...sometimes I wish I could just run away,
Rota, you're a big girl now, go outside and take a walk or something, I can't deal with this right now!"
Rota lowers her head
"Yes Mom."
She walks outside
She begins to get cold,
"*BRRR* it sure is cold out here."
The Alicorn from earlier walks up to her.
"Hey there! didn't I see you earlier today?" Rota asks him
He laughs "I don't know maybe, I fall into a lot of people's yards during the day."
Rota gasps "DEAR ME! Is your wing really broken that badly?"
He laughs again "What? NO! My wing was umm..never broken,
see I pretend I 'crash' into people's yards, to get them to feel sorry for me,
then I- HEY WAIT A MINUTE, WHY AM I TELLING YOU THIS?!"
Rota begins to laugh as well
"HAHAHAHA! I don't know, but i'm guessing you trick people into feeling sorry for you,
so that they give you money? for repairs?"
Conuell rolls his eyes
"Well when you say it like that,
it sounds bad."
Rota punches him
"IT IS BAD! You're lying to people to get what you want!"
He groans, rubbing his chest "GUUUHH, a guy's gotta make a living, y'know,
so what you doing up this late? you run away from home or something?"
Rota sighs "No I...I have... a problem, I actually can never got to sleep, like actually never!
and when I do that, I drive my mother crazy,
she says I get a little 'hyperactive' at night, or something like that,
what about you? you don't look any older than me."
Conuell puts his hat over his eyes.
"Ooohh, uuuhh... no reason, really."
He rushes away quickly,
Rota chases after him.
"HEY WAIT! COME BACK HERE!"
He kicks dust into her face, causing her to cough.
"*COUGH COUGH COUGH*
Now... where did he go off to in such a hurry?"
