Re: Apollo and jeannette, the proud parents (mature)

Prince's nostrils were wide and he was breathing hard from the difficult walk to this destination. He nuzzled sky and Saffron kind of congratulating them for making it this far. He scanned the horizon, watching for any bachelor stallions. He knew it was dangerous bringing his family to the hill, but it was a necessary thing to do. it is nature that brought them up here, and a bachelor could easily steal Saffron and kill sky. Prince kept on his toes the entire time they were there, and he was extremely skittish. He swiveled his ears constantly and kept his eyes open for any approaching stallions.

Apollo peaked the opposite side of the hill that his daughter came up on. The previous year he had been humiliated and went off in the opposite direction of his daughter. Apollo was certainly not looking forward to seeing her again this spring. He was so ashamed and was worried that she would think of him as a mule now. As soon as he peaked, he went hunting for a mare, trying to make himself not look as pathetic as he really was on the inside. Apollo knew that he would never find a mare, because he would turn into the same controlling stallion as he did with Saffron. He didnt want to put another horse through that. Apollo wanted to live with his misery, punishing himself for all of those painful years he caused for Saffron and Jeanette.

When apollo couldnt snake out a mare, he realized that there was no use. there was no use in trying to cover up what he had become. Saffron already knew everything about him now. Apollo slowed to a trot and trotted over to a tree, where he stood, watching the young mares and stallions start their lives.

[ no problem! I know I personally hate it when people post one-liners. That's why I usually ask people that RP with me if they're having a non-creative day just not to post until they are able to post more than one sentence. That's why I 'disappear' sometimes, too, because I don't wanna give someone who worked on making a good post a one-liner. I probably should've told you this earlier... sorry ^___^" ]

Sky plopped down on the ground and rolled around, wondering why his parents were so exhausted. Sure, he was tired, but he had enough energy to walk around still. His mother and father seemed to be trying their darnedest to catch their breath again. His mother seemed to recover first, letting out a loud neigh for someone. Sky rolled over onto his belly, staying on the ground, and perked his ears up, turning his head around, trying to figure out where the horse his mother was calling for was. When he turned back to look at his mother, what he saw frightened him slightly. She looked really angry about something, and Sky reached out his neck and nuzzled her leg gently, not sure what to do, shortly afterwards looking at his dad for help.

Saffron tossed her black mane, snorting heavily through her nostrils once she'd finished her call for her father. Where was he? Did he forget to show...? Did he forget that they'd made a commitment to each other...? Did he not want to see his grandchild? Saffron immediately stiffened, pinning her ears against her head and eyeing her surroundings and looking for her father's familiar coat. When Sky nuzzled her leg, she softened, lifting her ears and ruffling her colt's short hair with her breath, but shortly turned away from the family and walked to the highest point on the hill, looking for her father. I know you didn't forget, daddy... I know you didn't. So where the hell are you? Saffron stretched out her neck and let out another neigh, this time louder, hoping it'd reach her father's ears...wherever he was.

(wow i completely agree with you. i cant stand it when people say things like, "she slept" or something like that when they give nothing to the other player. man that is one of my pet peeves.)

Prince also focused his attention , scanning around the horizon, searching for the stallion he had met last year. he hoped to be of help to Saffron, but didnt see him. Prince watched in awe as Saffron walked to the point if the hill. She was really determined to prove something to her father. Prince knew it was sky, but he wasnt completely clear on what the underlying cause was. As she walked up, Prince noticed how beautiful she was. Wow. he felt so lucky to have a mare like Saffron. he marveled at her shiny coat that seemed to be the sun itsself. He gave Sky a nudge of affection, finally regestering in his mind that he created this foal. with saffron. Sky was his son. Prince was determined to be nothing like his step father, and give sky a childhood of happiness.

Apollo was caught off guard when his ears were filled with the familiar sound of Saffron neighing. The sound of saffron was both comforting, but at the same time, horrifying. What was he going to do when he saw her? Apollo had no idea, but he knew that this would not be a fun encounter. Then he remembered Saffron's promise to come back with Apollo's grandchild. His gloom was dulled by a light of happiness creeping back into him. He was actually excited to see his new grandchild. He trotted out from under the tree's protective shading, and caught a glimpse of his daughter. He let out a neigh, calling back to his daughter. Apollo stood from a distance, looking up at her.

[ Oh my gosh, I know what you mean. I’m like “’SHE SLEPT’ ISN’T EVEN A FREAKING SENTENCE!!!!! -.-‘ It annoys me beyond no limits. I hate it so much. <3 But you don’t do that, so thank you ~ ]

Sky looked up at his father when he nuzzled him, and Sky got to his feet and bounded over to his mom, nudging the back of her back leg gently. He wanted to play, with his mom and his dad, and maybe whoever his mom was trying to get the attention of. With the attention span of a fly, Sky cantered back over to his father and asked, “Dad, are there other foals around here? I want to play with someone! Will you and mom play with me?”

Saffron turned her head to nuzzle Sky when she heard a familiar neigh. Just as Sky had turned back to his father, Saffron half-reared and let out another neigh, throwing caution to the wind and cantering right down the hill until she reached her father. Now it was her turn to act like Sky. Saffron trotted around her father once before rubbing her head against his neck, “Been a long year, daddy,” Saffron muttered before pulling on his mane gently. “I was afraid you weren’t going to show up. I have someone to show you.” Saffron nodded her head back in the direction of the hill where Prince and Sky were, just out of sight.

[ haha ikr? ]

(yes that is in part why i really enjoy rping with you. thank you too. Smile

)

"we are not going to play right now sky. i want you to be on your best behavior. you are going to meet your grandpa and this is a special moment for your mom." Prince said. He really hoped Sky wouldnt do something stupid to upset Apollo, which he knew could be anything as apollo got upset very easily. Prince shook his neck, rearranging his mane into a more suitable was over his neck. he wanted Apollo's respect, and he wanted to appear nice.

Apollo tensed when Saffron came rushing down the hill at him. He stood there defenseless and prepared himself for a scolding. Apollo felt like a helpless little colt. Then, he was shocked with Saffron's response to his presence. At first he stood there stiffly, but then after a few seconds, he came to realize how ridiculous he felt about the way he had been acting. He joined in on the family reunion with Saffron and gave a little nicker letting her know that despite their past, he loved her and he was in fact happy to see her. Apollo soon realized that this visit would not be so bad after all. He reared up a bit, actually playing with Saffron for a few seconds. this was something that he had never done before with her, even when she was a newborn filly. Apollo followed Saffron eagerly when she started in the direction of her mate.

Sky snorted at his father, but made no move to disobey his father's orders. Instead, Sky went to rolling around in the grass, dirtying the white splotches on his coat. It wasn't as if he was supposed to look prim and proper, right? Either way, Sky was terribly bored and rather lonely, longing for a playmate, and decided the dirt would have to do until his father would play with him.

Saffron was shocked when her father actually played around with her, but she felt proud of him. He'd grown. He'd developed into the stallion she always knew he had the potential to be, even after all these years. It seemed their troubled past was behind them, at least for the time being. Saffron gave him a heartwarming smile before heading back to where Prince and Sky were. The first thing she noticed was Sky rolling around in the dirt, but all she could do was shake her head affectionately and walk over to the young colt, nudging him to his feet. "Come on now, Sky, you're all dirty. Your grandfather has come to say hello." Saffron gently removed whatever dirt she could from Sky's pelt before nudging him forward. "Dad, this is Sky."

(soo sorry for being so inactive!)

Prince saw Sky as a new milestone in his family's relationship. Sky was so oblivious to his mother's past. He had no idea what he had done to stitch this family back together again. Sky is the new pivoting point of this family. Prince nuzzled him proudly when Apollo said hi to him.

Apollo caught the first glimpse of his grandson. He almost shied away when he saw the young colt flicking his cloud-like tail. Apollo's breath was stolen away from him for a couple of seconds. He was, Beautiful. Apollo saw himself in this young colt. Not in his behavior, but in the family pedigree. He was so proud of Saffron. This pride was no longer from how perfect she had become or how well she did something, but for purely of what she did. He wouldn't care if this colt was the ugliest in the meadow. He was his grandson. Saffron's son. He took a step forward, and said in a grandfatherly voice, "hello son" Apollo had truly accepted sky and Saffron. As he said these words, all of the history between him and Saffron was blurred. All he saw was the future for his family. He walked over to Saffron and nuzzled her. He was truly proud of his daughter, and he loved her.

(also by the way these are gonna be the last posts of this thread! soo sad!)
