THE NAMING OF WYNN'S DAUGHTER

By Neverseen11

"Hey Foster! You enjoying that new crown of yours," Keefe taunted. Sophie made of point of rolling her eyes before sitting on the ice blue chair sitting in front of his desk. The room was a giant disaster, because Keefe's drawings and sketches were lazily thrown around. His hair was a mess, and even though he quickly had tried to smooth it when he saw Sophie coming, she could tell that he didn't expect company. His bejeweled crown was standing on top of a cabinet, before he took it down to be polished. "Now Foster," he said, breaking the silence, "don't beat yourself up about it." Sophie was a little confused.

She thought everything had been going according to plan over the past few weeks. The council had been appointed, and she became leader. It was so difficult. Did she forget something? "I saw you glancing at the Fitzter's and my crowns earlier, and I know you feel bad because yours isn't as shiny, but it's FINE Foster. Not everyone can be perfect!" He gave her a wink and she sighed. Sophie's disapproving stare said enough, but she couldn't stifle a small laugh. "Speaking of which," Keefe continued, "where is our teal eyed wonderboy?" Right on cue, Fitz burst through the door. He looked like perfection, although his hair gel was a bit overboard. His eyes darted to Sophie and Keefe sitting together, before he spoke.

"There's that meeting you scheduled now, Sophie," he told her, "everyone's waiting". She and Keefe followed Fitz to where her friends had gathered.



"Ugh... why did she have to be part of the council!" Biana was complaining. He brown hair was pulled back into a tight braid, and she was clearly annoyed.

"I just think that it's a bit too girly." Stina argued, "I mean this is Silveny's GRANDCHILDREN we're talking about! I just don't think SparkleHorn is the right name for her granddaughter." Stina had been part of the package of this new council idea, and although it was hard to get used to, Sophie couldn't help being a little intimidated by her. Biana rolled her eyes, and Sophie thought she saw Dex mutter something about Stina being a fun killer under his breath.

"What's going on here?" Keefe asked, repressing a snark, as he slung his arm around Sophie. "Nothing I'm sure Team Foster-Keefe can't solve! And I have a more urgent matter to speak about." He announced to the group, taking a seat at the front of the golden specked table. " As the president of the Foster Fan Club, I think we should not let her try the almost dying thing again. I just think it's getting to predictable..." Sophie shot him a lot, before their Pyrokinetic continued.

"We were discussing the name for Silveny's granddaughter." Marella explained, extinguishing the flames in her hand. "I suggested Starlight, because of her skin's pretty blue and purple color, but that got voted out."

Biana and Stina were barely listening, still fighting about the name. "SparkleHorn is perfectly fine," Biana said, clearly exasperated.

"Settle down you guys," Tam said, "we're figuring that out right now. It was very nice of Wynn to let Sophie name his and Luna's kid. Let's just settle down and prove that he made the right choice. SparkleHorn is an idea, we can put it on the list." That seemed to end the argument, though the girls were still glaring at each other. "Plus," Tam muttered under his breath, "this way Keefe will shut up about TeamFoster-Keefe."

"I like Nightshade or snowflake. They seem fit for her because her eyes are dark blue." Linh commented, which earned her a few nods of approval. She gathered a stream of water together, and formed it into the form of an alicorn, which earned her a wow from Fitz and Dex.

"I like Nightshade." Sophie began, "it's mysterious yet serene, just like her." Stina reluctantly agreed that she liked the name too.

"It's pretty... but I prefer SparkleHorn," Biana whined. Dex grinned in silent agreement as he fidgeted with his crown. He explained that he was still getting used to being a councilor, and that he had only taken the job on the condition that the matchmaking system be disposed of. His parent's burden had been released, mostly, and he said it made him feel a lot better about his choice. There were still some things he was getting used to though, and the others respected that.

"Fitz, what do you think?" Sophie asked him, pulling Fitz out of his trance.

"I like it too. It's pretty. Sorry, I kind of blacked out there for a second." He contributed.

The rest of their team agreed, and so the new council made their first major decision:

"So then it's settled?" Sophie said happily, "Silveny's granddaughter, Wynn and Luna's daughter, will be named Nightshade."
