Aranel paced her stall, tail wrapped in colorful bandages. It had been ten months and two weeks since she was bred, and her foal was a tad bit early. Nothing to worry about, really, since she knew her foal was strong already. From the talks of the humans, they told her it was a colt. She knew better. It was most definately a filly. She snorted at the humans, wanting them to leave her in peace while she birthed, but of course, they would never leave her side. The loyalty of humans bothered her quite frequently, but at this moment, she just wanted her foal out.
Lying down, she stretched her neck during her struggles. The filly felt big, although she was sure it wasn't as big as it felt. She rolled a little, before just lying there, and before long, a small chestnut filly had been born. The humans all clapped, and one came to check it's gender. As they saw it was a filly, Aranel could only think of a few words. I told you so. She wondered why they couldn't just let it be a surprise for once in their lives. Aranel quickly moved to clean her flicka, who squealed at her. By gosh, that foal had a set of lungs on her. Perhaps it meant a winner.
As the humans shuffled, attempting to come up with a foolish name, Aranel had some thoughts of her own. Fool Proof seemed like a cool name for her flicka. Or possibly Flash By, which would symbolize speed. Surprisingly, the humans named her Flash By, Flash for short. Aranel was happy.
