Lake Rodney Headed straight for your heart, like a bullet in the dark

Had she not have been so absorbed with the beauty, Aria would have scented Pearl coming her way. Even better, she might have heard her bark. The pale beta was so out of tune with her senses and so wrapped up in the lovely lake, she had become uncharacteristically ignorant. So instead of returning the love and happiness that Pearl so graciously slammed her way, Aria countered with a loud snarl and a nip to the shoulder. She would have bitten harder, but she realized it just before she sunk her teeth into the pale coat of her friend. The icy-princess went limp, letting out an apologetic whine.

"Oh Gods..." she muttered, rolling from her friend. Her head lowered and her ears flattened. "Sorry- I had no idea it was you..." she stopped, head raising slightly. "Wait... Pearl... Pearl?" she repeated the name a number of times as she stared at her friend, "Pearl... where have you been?" she asked, eyes clouded.
