Chapter 5 6 months later....

Magnolia watched in amusement as Rouge and Scimitar tried working together with ice skating. Scimitar still couldn't ice skate, he always fell right on his ass. He was doing that now, and pulling Rogue down with him. Rogue was none to pleased, he was yelling at Scimitar, who yelled back that it wasn't his fault that his balance sucked ass. Magnolia was laughing over this, and was still laughing when she went back inside. Ghost was wrapped up in a blanket by the fire, warming up. Blade was on the couch, in a sweater that aparently clashed with his colors greatly, not a spot of white or blue on it. A disgusting vomit color. Magnolia raised an eyebrow. "Love the sweater, son." Blade went a bright red. "Not my fualt, Sparkler found it at a store, bought it, and made me wear it...." Magnolia laughed, then sat down by the fire. Ghost had hot cocoa, aparently. He'd be a sugar junky like Silver in no time at the rate he was going. Ghost had his ears pinned back, and Mag could hear why. Silver and Khopesh were arguing again, this time over bathroom time. At least it was male attached to male, then there wouldn't be too much trouble over the bathroom, or the shower. Silver still had a problem with it all... Mag felt a poke on her belly. She looked, and there was Kasumi. Smiling, Mag picked up her youngest daughter, tickling her. Little Kasumi giggled, then set to squeeling in delight. Rouge and Scimitar entered, both yelling at each other. Kasumi stopped her squeels and giggles of delight, starting up with crying. Scimitar winced visibly. Aparently, him and Rogue fighting had scared her. He went over, tugging Rogue along, picking her up and cuddling her. She seemed to calm down considerably. Then she looked at Rogue and set to bawling again. Rogue growled at her, then tried walking away, only to be reminded that he was attached to Scimitar. For another 6 months. He groaned. Mag frowned from the floor. "I'm not getting up now that I'm sitting down. You both have to think of how to get her to stop crying." Blade had covered his ears, as had Ghost. Rogue and Scimitar exchanged glances, then started pulling faces, migratting in the process to the couch, only succeeding in making her cry more. Rogue sighed. "I don't think she'll stop any time soon... Can I cut into her yet?" Scim looked appalled. "Hell fucking NO, Rogue!! Like I'd let you cut into the flesh of my own daughter!!!" Rogue growled. "A simple no would have worked..." Mag was just chuckling from the floor. She looked over at Blade. "Bladey, be a dear and help me up... As some ponies say it, Nature Calleth Thee." Blade made a bit of a face, then went over and helped her up. She smiled at him. "Thank you, Blade." With that, she waddled off to the bathroom, while Scim and Rogue continued trying to get Kasumi to stop crying.

Silver and Kho were busy creaming each other into the snow outside. They were still arguing. First, it was over singing, then many other things. Now it was going out on the ice. Silver didn't want to. Khopesh did. It started with Kho saying he was older, Silver should respect his elders. Silver retorted with the fact that he was a peg, he'd bet a broken bone on the ice. So they ended up trying to beat each other to a pulp. Silver got several broken bones in the end, and Kho... He got a heart squeeze for the second time in his life. First from Goldmoon... She almost KILLED him... Now Silver... Again, almost killed. Amani had to come. Wiggy had called her when he found the two collapsed in the snow, getting burried by the snow that was falling....

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Amani sighed. Khopesh and Silver being attached wasn't a good idea, they could kill each other. The good thing was, they were equally matched in strength, so no killing now. They were asleep in ajasent beds at the moment, having been healed. Amani went over to the window of her treehouse, looking down at the ground at Wiggy, who was playing in the snow with their daughter, Clementine. Clem was throwing snowballs at Wiggy, who was TRYING to dodge them, but failing.

Wiggy blocked another snowball, only to get hit by yet another. He laughed, falling over when one hit him in the head. This caused Clementine to squeel. She really loved it, aparently. Wiggy sat up, shaking the snow off. Clem laughed even more. Then snow fell on her. Wiggy freaked, scrambling over and unburrying her. He pulled her out, a wet and bawling baby. Amani flew down to help comfort the child. Solution? They took her inside to dry and warm her. She got a cold in the end. Amani had no choice but to let the cold take it's course.

Silver and Khopesh were waken up by Clementine crying. Khopesh looked at the closest clock. Two am. Kho growled, while Silver groaned. Wiggy was the one to answer the crying. The poor baby had a stuffed nose. Trying to get her to hush while he walked, Wiggy went into the bathroom and got some Vix Vapor Rub, meant to un stuff a stuffy nose. It worked, to his releife. He took little Clem into the kitchen to get her something to eat. Khopesh and Silver were there, looking rather grogy and rather pissed. Wiggy decided not to ask. He just got some sugar water and gave Clem her sippy cup, as Wiggy so affectionatly called. It was only because he didn't know the real name, actually.... Silver got up to go back to bed, only to feel a tug. He groaned. "Kho, bed, sleep, now." Khopesh growled. "No. You, chair, sit, now." "Sleep" "Sit" "Sleep!" "Sit!" They argued back and forth, wich woke Amani. Never wake Amani at 2 in the morning. She stalked in, looking pissy. "Who the hell woke me up?!" Silver and Kho fell silent. Wiggy shook his head. "Twas not I, it was Silver and Kho!" Silver mumbled something like snitch under his breath. Amani growled. Kho and Silver ran like hell, going back to bed, not wanting to anger the 'little' pony any further.
