He tore through the forest at a clompy gallop. Briske was in here somewhere and he was going to find her! He tried to keep his heart playful, but deep down it was eating at him that she wasn't at his side. They were never apart for long, and he could almost feel the distance tugging at them like a force trying to pull magnets apart. Black tuft of a tail flapped behind him, fluffy crest of a mane standing erect like a mohawk as he ran. He was a pale, peachy comet shooting through this sky of falling leaves.
And then he saw her! Orangey and with black hair, just like him! He altered course in a clumsy shuffle of hooves, kicking up rustling leaves in his wake. His head ducked and bobbed with his movement, as though it could make him charge in faster. All too late, he realized... this was definitely not Briske!
Wahahh! Oomph! He plowed into the boy in a tangle of legs, failing to brake soon enough as he slid across the earth with frantically scuttling hooves. Dizzy from impact, he shook his head. Hnng, he groaned in pain. And then his hazel-green eyes focused on him, and he stared. If Briske was just a little darker, maybe if she got a tan, then she might match this guy's coat nearly exactly. He was sad it wasn't her after all, and he'd have to find her still, but he was also curious.
Are you my brother? He tilted his head, then nudged at his shoulder. Hey! Are you my brother! he said a little louder. Just to be sure the kid heard him. Maybe they'd been separated somehow, and only Briske had been at his side when he woke up. They looked similar enough, right? Ohh, all the warmth they could share if there was three of them! And the games! This was turning into a good day! He hoped Briske would find them soon and see their new brother!
