"Ewwwwwwww." Bolt moaned once he got the soap out of his mouth. "That just makes me want to say more bad words!!!" He yelled, laughing.
Bolt walked over and kissed Star on the head and Flitter on the cheek. "Sometimes I swear I married a parasprite!" He said, scooping up Star into his hooves and sitting on the grass.
Flitter glared at him playfully. "I'll be back!" she sang, flying towards the castle. "What do you mean?"
Bolt looked down to see Star asleep again. "Great...now I gotta lug this thing around." He whispered, flying slowly over to Brisk and Leaf. They were already talking quietly.
"Well... she'd try and bite you, too." Narrowleaf explained. "...If she's trying to impress me, which it wouldn't."
"I think it's different than that. I think she wants to show dominance. I mean, she does have Addie's strong nature. She'll learn. I think she already knows that I'm putty in her hooves." Flitter came back, carrying a picnic basket. She saw Star sleeping, with Bolt, Narrow, and Brisk a little away. So, she curled up next to Star, and fell into a light sleep.
Bolt put Star down next to Flitter. He walked to Brisk's side and looked back at the two curled next to each other, sleeping. "Brisk, Leaf, sorry to interrupt but, look at those two!" He whispered. Star turned, grabbing a little bit of Flitter's mane and cuddling up against it.
"They're really cute, Bolt. Honestly. We've just got to get Willow home. Enjoy your picnic!" she called, transforming into a wolf.
Narrowleaf put Willow on his back, and ran off. "I'll hold on to her. Even if... her claws... hurt..."
She let Willow down, and began to run. Willow cocked her head, then chased after her, following. "She'll run with us."
Bolt walked over. He saw a brown alicorn walking towards him and immediately raised his defenses. He walked towards Dune Walker, arrogant enough to put Flitter's sleep above this battle he assumed would happen. "I let you live. You got a problem wi-" Bolt stopped. He saw it in Dune's eyes. He was different now. Dune wrapped Bolt in a bearhug. "Thank you! Thank you so much! You made that black sludge in my mind fade. It was making me really really mad..." Dune said quietly. "Oh...that's what it has been. You and Black Star both. At least I got one of you back..." Bolt sighed. Dune put a supportive hoof on his shoulder and the two walked back to the picnic, Dune sitting awkwardly far away from the family.
"Did you want me to say something else?" she asked, worried. Flitter woke, and Star stirred. "Oh, hello."
