Chapter Five – Pasta's Building Skills

"Pasta, achoo!" said Teal with a sneeze. "It's time to- achoo! wake up."

"Mommy?" said Pasta. "Do you have any more toys?"

"I do, achoo!" said Teal. "Follow me, achoo! I'll take you to them."

Pasta followed Teal to her storage room, where she put out some of her other wooden toys, like a replica of the castle and ponies.

"Yay!" said Pasta. "I love playing with toys!"

"Well, achoo! I'm going to rest, achoo! Pasta." said Teal.

"Okay, mommy." said Pasta.

Pasta played with Teal's old toys for sometime, he really liked them but, he saw one box which wasn't open at all, he wanted to check it, so he went near it.

"What's this?" thought Pasta, moving closer to the box, and then he finally opened it up, to see lots of wood stacked inside of it. "Should, I make my toys? Yes, I'm going to make my own toys!"

He slowly and hardly dragged all of the wood to the middle of the room and started to cut them using his horn.

"Here, we go, I'll put this piece here, I'll make this stronger..." thought Pasta while making the parts of his own toy and assembling them together.

"And, I'll put this wheel here." thought Pasta then he shouted happily. "I've made my own toy! I'm going to show it to mommy!"

Pasta went to Teal's bedside and looked at her, her nose was red, he touched her to wake her up.

"Mommy, mommy, wake up." said Pasta. "Look at what I've made."

"Pasta?" said Teal. "What's that?"

She looked at the toy on Pasta's hooves and saw that he had made her wooden model.

"Did you, make this for me?" asked Teal.

"Yes, mommy!" said Pasta.

"Oh, thank you, Pasta!" said Teal and sneezed, then she hugged Pasta tightly. "I love you!"

"I love you, too, mommy!" said Pasta.

"I'm going to call Stab over, you achoo! need to show him your toy." said Pasta.

"Let's show him!" said Pasta and followed Teal. She opened the door and they went out to the halls, then she opened Stab's door and they both went in.

"Stab, achoo! look what Pasta just made for me!" said Teal. "Achooooo!"

"Mommy!" said Pasta in a worry.

"Don't worry, I just sneezed too big." said Teal.

"What did he make for you?" said Stab while coming to the door.

"He made this, achoo!" said Teal, showing the wooden model of herself to Stab.

"He made your wooden model?" said Stab. "That looks wonderful! Pasta, you've outdone yourself in building."

"Thank you, daddy!" said Pasta.

"Daddy?" said Stab. "But, I'm not your daddy."

"You're my daddy!" said Pasta, not agreeing with Stab.

"Okay, I'm your daddy then." said Stab.

Stab laughed a bit and Teal giggled at the way Pasta thought.

"I think, I'm feeling a little better." said Teal.

"Are you, mommy?" asked Pasta.

"Yeah, I don't sneeze achoo! that much anymore." said Teal.

"You just snoze, mommy." said Pasta and giggled.

"Well, I did." said Teal.

Pasta jumped on Teal's back and hugged her a bunch.

"Oh, little Pasta, you never get old when it comes to hugs." said Teal.

"And you're always soft, mommy." said Pasta.

"Are you?" asked Stab.

"Well, if Pasta thinks I am, then I am soft." said Teal.

"Always knew you were a big 'ol softy." said Stab.

"Oh come on, Stab." said Teal.

"No, seriously, you're actually highly soft." said Stab.

"Oh, okay, fine." said Teal.

"Well, do you want to have something I found with Pasta when you were asleep?" asked Stab.

"What do you mean?" asked Teal.

"Let me begin." said Stab.

While you were sneezing I handed over a paper to Pasta which said:

Pasta, have your mommy sleep tonight so we can both make her something special, come to my room once she's asleep and I'll tell you more

Stab

And he did exactly that. Once he came, I showed him how to build using wood, I also told him to ask you to get him more toys so he could find where you stored wood. Then he built your model using the wood you had, now, I'll show you what I got for you.

"I found this for you." said Stab and threw an old golden watch to Teal. "Catch!"

Teal caught the watch, but she couldn't believe it, because it was her old watch which she had lost in her childhood.

"Where'd you find this?" asked Teal while putting the watch on.

"In a cloud." said Stab. "Where you buried it, years ago."

"I couldn't remember that I'd buried it?" said Teal while still surprised.

"Look at the calendar." said Stab. Teal looked at the calendar, and when she turned back around to Stab and Pasta.

"Happy birthday!" shouted Stab and Pasta.

"You guys are awesome, thank you!" said Teal and hugged them both, then she closed Pasta's eyes and gave a kiss to Stab, she reopened Pasta's eyes.

"Goodbye, Stab." said Teal.

"Goodbye, Teal." said Stab and with that, Teal took Pasta and left back to her room.

"He is such a great stallion!" thought Teal.

"Mommy, you're softer now." said Pasta.

"Am I?" asked Teal.

"Yes." said Pasta.

"Thank you, Pasta." said Teal.

"Let's sleep." said Pasta.

"Yes, I'm achoo! tired." said Teal.

Teal put Pasta to bed and told him a bedtime story, when he slept, she went to bed too, closed her eyes, and slept happily.

THE NEXT DAY

"Pasta, it's time to wake up." said Teal.

"Mommy, I'm tired." said Pasta.

"You barely slept last night, you should sleep more, you're still a foal." said Teal.

"I know, mommy." said Pasta. "But I know what would wake me up."

"I also do, it's pasta." said Teal.

"Yes." said Pasta.

"Alright, I'll make you some pasta then." said Teal.

"Thanks, mommy." said Pasta.

"No problem, Pasta." said Teal. She went to cook Pasta's favourite, pasta.

"He loves pasta a lot." she thought.

"Is the pasta done yet?" asked Pasta.

"Not yet, I haven't even started!" shouted Teal so Pasta could hear.

"Okay, I'll wait five minutes." said Pasta.

"But It'll be done in twelve minutes!" shouted Teal.

"Okay, I'll wait six minutes." said Pasta.

"Okay, I'll try." said Teal.

Teal grabbed the pasta and put it in the boiling water, she stirred it quickly and waited.

"I'm coming!" said Pasta.

"Great, your pasta is finally complete." said Teal. "I got a plate of it here for you."

"Okay, mommy." said Pasta and quickly ran to the awaiting pasta for him. He quickly started putting all of the pasta in front of him in his mouth. "Delicious!"

"Don't you think yours was way more delicious?" asked Teal.

"I can't remember what mine tasted like." said Pasta.

"Well from what I experienced, eating yours, yours is definitely better than mine." said Teal.

"Really, mommy?" asked Pasta.

"Yes." said Teal.

"Thank you." said Pasta.

"No problem." said Teal.

"What do I do now, mommy?" asked Pasta.

"You could build with my wood." said Teal.

"Really?" said Pasta. "Thank you!"

"No problem, Pasta." said Teal. "Make whatever you want."

"Yay!" shouted Pasta and quickly started building.
