Sugar bell had 2 babies
One was a light brown alicorn with a dark green mane named ghillie
And the other was a glistening yellow Pegasus with a honey colored mane
Named citrine
Daddy had told sugar bell not to play favorites
But citrine was her favorite baby
Sugar bell kept this a secret
She made sure that ghillie got all the milk and love he needed as not to make daddy suspicious
It’s not that sugar bell hated or even disliked ghillie
ghillie was good babbie
But citrine was so beautiful
Sugar bell gave her extra hugs when no one was looking
After all one or two extra hugs wouldn’t hurt citrine right?
It’s not like daddy would find out
Or so sugar bell thought
Unbeknownst to her daddy knew everything
Daddy was simply letting sugar bell sink her own ship if things got bad he would step in
One or two extra hugs suddenly became letting citrine ride on her back while ghillie was forced to walk
When the foals opened their eyes
ghillie began to notice these discrepancies
Citrine got extra hugs
Citrine got to ride on mamma’s back
Everything got rolling when the foals started to talk
ghillie now asked mamma for more hugs
ghillie wanted to ride on mamma’s back
Citrine thankfully wanted ghillie to get the same things she did
Unfortunately sugar bell made excuses as to why she couldn’t do that
Things came to a head when sugar bell excluded ghillie for the fluff pile one night
But in a cruel twist of fate it would be citrine not ghillie who would tell daddy
You see citrine spent a lot of time with queequeg and his sense of compassion rubbed off on the young foal
Citrine didn’t want to tell on mama but if she didn’t then what would happen to ghillie?
Daddy confronts sugar bell
“I’ve heard that you have been mean to ghillie”
Sugar bell was shocked. how did daddy know?
“Shuga bew am good mama! Shuga bew gib Huggies an miwkies tu aw babbies!”
Daddy shook his head
“I know you didn’t let ghillie sleep in the fluff pile last night “
“Buh…buh how daddy know dat?”
“So it is true?”
Sugar bell bit her lip
“Sugar bell I told you the rules before letting you stay here”
“Pwease gib shuga bew nudah chancie! Be good mumma now!”
“I think we should let ghillie decide if you get another chance.”
Sugar bells eyes dilate with fear
“So ghillie do you think mama should get another chance?”
It was as if the walls were closing in around sugar bell
ghillie without skipping a beat gave his answer
“Ghiwie gib mumma nudah chancie. Ghiwie wuv mumma”
“Oh? Well then I guess it’s your lucky day sugar bell”
Sugar bell collapse with a sigh of relief
“But sugar bell”
“Hm?”
“If this ever happens again it will be queequeg deciding your fate”
Sugar bell gulps
