"By the way. I know how you feel about Element but... you know I like you... I just decided to give him space. He didn't feel comfortable around me I guess... Everyone seems to get like that when I talk to them. You are the only one who actually talks to me before running off." Image smiled weakly and rested her head on Storm's back.

"Oh," Storm said and smiled, he turned his head and nuzzled her.

Image chuckled weakly and nuzzled Storm back. She got up and shook off before nudging Storm to get up.
"Come on! I have an idea. If we just went off by ourselves maybe they will just leave us alone, or want to play with us! Let's just be ourselves for once. I am sick of leaving things inside me, pretending to be another person, not me..." Image whispered, the words flowing out of her mouth. She had wanted to say these things for a long time and it felt good to let them out.

Storm stood up, "Good idea," he said and smiled.

Image smirked
"What should we play? Hide and go seek tips? That is my favourite..." Image whispered. She looked at the others and nipped Storm playfully.

Storm shrugged, "Ok, sure," he said, agreeing.

"Ok, I will be in. 1,2,3..." Image closed her eyes and laid her ears back so she couldn't hear anything. She swished her little tail and pawed the ground.

Storm smiled, he looked around and noticed a large tree surrouned by long grass, he cantered over to it and hid behind the tree in the long grass and waited.

Image reached 20 and pricked her ears, listening for any sound. She reared and neighed then flared her nostrils, catching a faint scent. She smiled and snorted as she followed her scent. She saw fresh little hoofmarks in the ground, heading in the direction she was going.

Storm breathed as quietly as he good, his eyes were closed but his ears were pricked alert, he listened and waited.

Image followed the hoofmarks and scent until she came to a large tree sourrounded with lush, green grass. She picked up a large mouthful and went around to the back of the tree. She nipped Storm lightly on his rump and ate the grass around where his head should be. She accidently nudged his ear and pulled back suddenly, blushing like mad.

Storm lifted his head, and smiled, "You found me," he said and stood up.

"Really?" Image cocked her head and smiled. She backed up and waited for Storm.

Storm cocked his head and smiled a bit, "Your turn to hide?" he asked, confused again.

Image laughed and nodded. She silently walked out of behind the tree. She walked one way, now not caring for making a noise or hoofprint. She walked to a rock and then from then on made no sound nor hoofprint. She hid in the large forest that was to the left of the rocks. She backed up in the ghostly gums until she was nearly invisible.

Storm smiled a bit, he looked aorund, he walked out from behind the tree and looked around, he strated trotting, he looked at the ground and sniffed it then followed the scent.

I snorted and walked back into the cave. "Follow me," I instructed, "and stay close. It's my cave." I sighed and galloped forward into the cave.

(er....ah...lost, quitting)

Element followed after Willow at a full gallop.
"I still don't know where we're going, what if your trying to kidnap me!"

(im Quiting also Sorry =/)

[awhhhh.]

I giggled and shook my head, stopping at the middle of the cave and
flicking my tail as a signal to stop. I walked forward. "Come on."

Ooc: Awww!
Bic: Image giggled but shoved her head in the hollow of a large tree, drowning out her laughs.

Storm sighed, he looked around, he smiled a bit, he didn't know why but kept looking, he looked around, he stopped at rocks, he snorted and lowered his head to them, he looked up and saw the forest, he trotted into it and whinnied out, he reared up but made no sound, he sniffed around and looked aorund.

Image pulled her head out of the hollow hearing Storm and walked silently out of the forest, leaving no track. She crept over to the rocks where he just checked, making sure that he didn't see her.

Storm walked to the tree Image was just at, he snorted and stomped his hoof, he was no good at finding, he looked around and trotted out the forest, he looked around, he stood at the edge and stepped to the rocks and looked at them before looking back in the forest, he stepped closer and looked at them, he saw Image and smiled, "Hi," he said and smiled.
