Nothing.It's just dumb because that's what they do with older siblings.They even immitate each other,but I think that's when they argue...."Angel said."Do you want to have a family someday?"

"Maybe. I haven't quite decided yet with my racing career and all right now," Eight Belles said.

"But I'd have the foal in me while I'm racing. I don't think that is safe for me or a foal," she said.

"I'm talking during off season silly."Angel said."But then again,if it's a late foal....then that wouldn't be good and the humans could definatly tell."She considered.

"Yes, but off season is only about six months. I would have to come back here and race. They would find out," she said.

"Oh,dear."Angel said.She wanted to keep up with her track record,but she wanted her own colt or filly."What will they do with a wild sired foal?"She asked Eight Belles,trying not to sound nervous.

"Most likely sell it if they don't think it could race," Eight Belles said. "Happened to my friend, Foxy Lady. She came back with a foal inside her. She had gone and bred with a wild stallion. About five months into racing season, she had the foal. A sweet little filly, but sadly the master didn't think the filly would make it on the track. Sold her to someone up state. Lady was heart-broken, she didn't want to race after that, and the master wasn't going to. He was going to start breeding her, but she couldn't stand the thought of it. She wanted her stallion and her filly. She escape a long while back when she had jumped a broken part of a fence in the field. Some say she had gone up state to find her daughter. But no one has heard anything since then. It's been about two years now."

Angel looked at her feet."What a sad story."She knew in her heart,though she might be an excellent racer,she knew Snape's foal,especially if it had his temper,would never make it.She thought to ask Eight Belles about it."What about me though?DO you think the expect me to become a broodmare,seeing as I'm wild and still have my instincts,not to say you don't have them,mine are most likely just stronger."Angel felt stupid.She was trying not to hurt Belles feelings.

"I'm not sure. It depends on the humans. They want mostly Thoroughbreds to race, but there might be a few wanting more than that," she said.

"I don't think they want any more Mustangs."Angel said."Not my foal anyway.I don't know if I'll come back next season...."

"It wouldn't be the same without you," Eight Belles said. "I know it's hard, but there are ways to try and get around it."

"What should I do then?"Angel said,biting her tongue to stop herself from snapping,'if your so smart!'

"All you have to do is try to stay away for a couple of months when racing season starts. Maybe another mare could watch your foal. It would only be for about 2 months. That way you could race and still have time with your foal. The humans will only think you've gotten lost or something," Eight Belles said.

"And they won't come looking for me?"She said,because the last thing she needed was her father telling her how she'd betrayed them all by leading humans to the herd.It was constantly betrayal with Angel and Spirit.It was both of their favorite words.
