“Look!” said Dawn.

Dawn, Amber, and Sugar all looked at the pretty dawn that was in front of them.

“Where you born at dawn?” asked Amber

“Yea!” said Dawn

And then Zephyr got up, then Real got up and walked over.

“So beautiful!” said Zephyr

And Midnight picked up her head and looked at the sun rising.

“Wow!” yelled a sleepy Oscar, “It should still be dark! I’m still sleepy!”

“Oscar, you can go to sleep, you know that right?” Asked Midnight

“I’m trying to be the Lead stallion! Daddy wakes up at this time, so will I!” and got up.

Cindy and Dancer got up with Oscar and looked at the Sun.

“Very nice!” Said a voice from behind them.

“Midnight!?!” said Dawn.

“No that is NOT Midnight!” said a scared Zephyr.

“I know that sillies!” said the voice again, “I’m Blue Moon!”

“AND Sorrow!” said another voice from what the herd though was the bushes around there land.

Zephyr turned around to see 2 horses looking at the herd, and will he was facing that way a truck and trailer pulled up.

“WHAT?!?!” said a voice behind him again and looked back to see a Black horse with humans all around her.

“FIGHT!! KEEP THE HUMANS AWAY FROM MIDNIGHT!” Yelled Zephyr

“I’ll get Midnight!” Yelled the new horse, “I lead them here, I can at least help!”

“Fine! Midnight is the one laying down!” said Zephyr as he galloped off with the rest of the Herd at his heels. The new horse walked over to Midnight.

“So your Midnight!” said the horse.

“Yea, and what is your name?” asked Midnight as she got up.

“Black Sunset!” said the horse, “why do I have to ‘keep the humans away’ from you?”

“ See…” said Midnight as she pointed her Muzzle at the little white foal standing by her side.

“Oh,” said Black sunset. “What rank are you?”

“I’m lead mare!” said Midnight

“Ok.” Said Black Sunset.

“Where is Oscar, Cindy, and Dancer?!?” yelled Midnight.

“I’m sorry, they might not made it.” Said Black sunset.

“What?” said Oscar, Cindy, and Dancer walking out of the Cave, “We hid! Was that good?”

“Yes!” said Midnight as she galloped to her foals.

“Mom!” yelled the foals.

Then the rest of the herd gallops up.

“Good! We have 3 new herd horses!” said Zephyr as her rears in joy.

“Yea!” said Sorrow, Blue Moon, and Black Sunset said together.

“Now you needs ranks!” said Zephyr, “who wants what?”

“I’ll take Baby sitter!” said Blue Moon, I’m good with Foals.”

“Guess I’ll take Guard.” Said Sorrow.

“How about you?” Asked Zephyr, “and what is your Name?”

“Black Sunset, and Midnight’s guard!” said Black Sunset as she reared of joy.

“Great!” said Zephyr, “the humans are gone and 3 new horses! What a day!”
