I groaned at the throb from my head. What happened? I remember falling asleep, then Diamond Sword waking me up… then, OH RIGHT! Discord!
I gasped as I felt I was in the grip of something. I started to struggle and bucked my holder. The yell of pain and shock didn't sound like Discord or one of his brainwashed minions. "Man, first they fall on me then you make me carry the one that can buck like no other." Growled the voice as it put me down. I got to my hooves in a flash and looked around. These were creature like I had never seen. I turned my gaze to the sky "What trickery is this Discord?!" I yelled.
I returned my gaze to the creatures and saw that one, a yellow fox like creature, had the unconscious form in Gentle Breeze in his arms. I snorted in rage and pawed the ground with my hoof. The blue creature saw this and acted wisely. "Tails, put down the pony and come toward me slowly." The dual tailed fox gently put down my sister and ran to the other creatures while I ran to Gentle Breeze.
I nudged her "Breeze, wake up." I grumbled not taking my eyes off the frozen "animals". "A little longer, Star. It can't be dawn yet." She murmured in her tiny voice. I shook my head, "We've got um, I don't know what they are, but it looks like your department." She looked at me blearily before following my gaze.
Upon the sight of these animals she jumped a good twenty feet. I looked around in surprise and confusion. "Breeze?" I called "U-up h-here." I looked up and saw she had somehow managed to jump into the tree above us. "How did you get up there?" I called running over to her. At this point I didn't care about the animals.

I watched as the tiny, well I don't have a better description for her, purple unicorn tried to find a way to get to the pony who had somehow managed to get stuck in a tree. The unicorn was a deep violet with a sky blue mane* and tail and the little pony in the tree was light yellow with a pale pink mane and tail. ^
"WhereamI? Whoareyou? Breeze? Why are you in a tree?" I turned and saw the mint green colt was awake. He trotted over to the two fillies and looked up the tree. "That looks fun, can I play?" he said bouncing up and down. "This isn't a game, Minty Pie. Now fly up there and get Breeze down."
The colt, now known as Minty Pie pouted, but nonetheless flew up and brought the little mare down. I approached the, um, "kids?" cautiously only to get tackled by a deep gray mass. It wasn't there love, because Knuckles yanked it off.

I sat in the protective ring my siblings had formed around me. I blinked at the creatures and felt a bubble of laughter rise in my heart for the first time in my life. So, I just let it out and laughed. My siblings stared at me in shock and, before long, joined in with me. Minty was the first one to crack up following my example. Soon, the six of us were on the ground rolling in laughter. "W-why a-are we laughing?" chuckled Diamond Sword. I got to my hooves "Remember when Miss Pie was able to break free of Discord for a time? Remember what she told us to do if we got scared?" My sibling stared at me again before bursting into laughing choruses of Giggle at the Ghostly.
