Natsu-cat was kind enough to draw my OC MLP Speckle http://www.furaffinity.net/view/5101278/

so I thought it only fair that I return the favour. Theres a tiny story that goes with this piece.

Etoile was about to go for one of her peaceful afternoon strolls around the countryside surrounding ponyville when Speckle came running up to her. Speckle wasn't the brightest little pony in the herd ( even for being a baby pony) but she more than made up for it with her energy and enthusiasm.

"Watcha doin?" Speckle's voice was childish and distorted behind her pacifier, but Etoile could just about make out what she was trying to say. The baby pony grinned up at Etoile knowing exactly what the older pony was doing.
"I am going for a stroll little one" the french lilt to Etoile's voice was clear.
"Can I come? Et-twul. Can I? I can can I peeese?"
The baby bounced up and down stomping her hooves excitedly, she wasn't supposed to be out of the nursery but it was such a lovely day and as long as she was going to be with Etoile she probably wouldn't get in trouble.
"I suppose you can come, just behave okay"
Together they walked, Speckle bombarding Etoile with all sorts of random questions. Etoile smiled as she realised that her peaceful stroll was going to be anything but peaceful.

"Lookit that fing? Wassat?" She pointed her hooves.

"That is a stick" Etoile said patiently.

"OOOh wassat?" Speckle pointed at something else

"That is also a stick" Etoile replied chuckling.

Suddenly Speckle stopped and fell silent, she even backstepped a few paces.

"WAASSAT?" She said in hushed awe pointing to the path up ahead.

Etoile looked.
"That! IS escargot."
Speckle looked puzzled
Etoile corrected herself. "It is a snail little one."

Speckle took a step closer to study the slow moving creature. She was silent for a moment as if deep in thought
"It looks like me" She said all of a sudden. Causing Etoile to burst into laughter.

"I can assure you Speckle, it does not look like you." Etoile tried to calm the distressed looking baby pony

"but...its speckly...like me." Speckle said bluntly, not all that impressed that she had found something as speckly as her. She wanted to be the only speckled thing in the world. She suddenly gasped.
"mebbe its my bigger sista !" She squealed.

Etoile hid her large grin, not wanting to upset the baby any further by explaining that snails and ponys were two different things, and knowing that speckle had always wanted a bigger sister she didnt want to crush the pony's dream.

"Sweetheart maybe we should go back now. It is almost dinner time no?"

Speckle looked up at Etoile then at her new found sister, her tummy suddenly grumbled and she grinned.

"Kay. Can I bring food for my sista bak after?"

She said hopefully. Etoile nodded, knowing that Speckles attention span was so short that by the time they had gotten back and Speckle had eaten she would have probably have forgotten all about her sister snail.

"Of course little one."

This seemed to satisfy Speckle and the two headed back. Speckle was silent for a long while giving Etoile some peace and quiet. Just before they reached the town speckle looked back the way they had come. Her nose wrinkled in disgust for a moment.

"Et-twul, when I grow up am i...gonna be like my sista? I dont fink I wanna look like her"

Etoile's melodic french laugter could be heard clear across ponyville.
