PONY POST

Now you're a pony. Were you a pony all along, or is this a new and baffling experience to you? I dunno. The only answer I have is PONIES AND MAGIC.

Wha!

[It takes the green and yellow pony a few minutes to straighten herself out, before she looks up at the grey pony. Oh, a face she didn't know!]

Hey, mister! Who are you? Uh, up there?

[The tall colt's apparent poor lack of coordination did not ease the process of getting her out, either.]

What, me? Oh, just. You know. Nopony special. Not like I've been living here a long time, should be memorable by now. Figures. Huh, fillies these days. Didn't your mom ever tell you to watch where you're going, anyway?

[lovableclover.livejournal.com]

[This pony sure does talk a lot!]

My daddy tells me that all the time! [Oblivious headtilt. She has no idea why here next door neighbor would be telling her that.]

[alleyenobrain.livejournal.com]

Oh. Well. Good. Proper parenting. I assume. Not so experienced personally, but I think that's an important thing to teach, isn't it? ...Neither here nor there, completely irrelevant.

Where's this dad of yours now, huh? Letting you run around on your own, getting trampled by big fellas like me.

[Sorry, Wheatley, these clovers Yotsuba just discovered are more interesting than your face so she isn't really looking at it while you talk.]

He's at home I think. He's usually at home working on big people stuff.

[alleyenobrain.livejournal.com]

Huh. Sounds important, I guess. [Oh, what's she doing now? He looms over her] What're you doing then... small people stuff?

Ffff, I guess it should be big /pony/ stuff (_)_

[lovableclover.livejournal.com]

Yeah, cuz Yotsuba is still small! Like you're big, so you do big pony stuff!

...I'm looking for four leaf clovers! [She adds this as an afterthought.]

Pff, pony terminology, like it's ever consistent

[alleyenobrain.livejournal.com]

Oh. Right. Yeah, important big things, all the time, that's me. Guess it's right the easy stuff goes to the tiny ponies. I mean, clovers, really, can't be that hard, I mean, look here, this one's got...

...no, that's three there. Annnd... lots of threes. Huh. Do the little dips in the leaves count? ...No, that'd still make it six, wouldn't it. Huh.

[lovableclover.livejournal.com]

Hahahaha! You're really bad at this.

[Give her a second... ah-hah, there's one!]

[She holds up her prize, a perfect four-leaf clover, up on her hoof.]

See, like this one!

[alleyenobrain.livejournal.com]

No! No, I'm just. There's a learning curve, you know, I'm new to it.

[Blinks at her finding, then at her.] Oh. Well. You're just experienced at this, aren't you.

[Crouches down, squinting at the plants] You gimme a minute here, I'll find one with five leaves, don't count me out.

[lovableclover.livejournal.com]

One with five leaves!?

[Oh man, Wheatley, if you did that you would be her HERO.]

[She starts bouncing around him.]

Can you really?

[alleyenobrain.livejournal.com]

Oh, can I ever! Easy as pie! Easy as cake, even, much simpler than pie.

[Just going on and on as he pokes a hoof and keeps squinting at the clover patch] Never figured out how they managed to get it with the hard outer bit, but the squishy fruitstuffs on the inside. That's magic, right there, not even the fancy unicorn kind, just something unreal. Cake, much more even consistency. Takes less work.

I mean, for people who bake things. I'm more proficient in the eating area, myself, just in terms of preference. [Man he's only finding threes he picked a bad patch or something]

[lovableclover.livejournal.com]

...I like cake.

[She doesn't really know what else to do with that long stream of babble.]

Can you find one?

[alleyenobrain.livejournal.com]

Find what, a cake? Well, sure, figure just head to the bakery...

--Oh! Oh you meant the clover, right. Working on that... eh...

[Maybe...] Okay, I think I can find one, but um. You're gonna need to turn around.

[lovableclover.livejournal.com]

Turn around!? Why!? Is it a secret!?! Is it magic!?!?

[SHOCK AND AWE! She quickly turns around.]

Okay, I'm turned!

[alleyenobrain.livejournal.com]

Yyyyes! Now I'm just gonna... work my... clover magic... keep turned, make sure you're all the way around!

[Annnnd he rips two little tears in the leaves, YEAH THAT SURE IS FIVE WHOLE LEAVES]

And found it! Can turn around now, lookit that, what I picked out, amazing, isn't it.

[lovableclover.livejournal.com]

[SHE TURNS AROUND EXCITEDLY AND...]

Huh?

[Peering really, really closely at the clover with a perplexed look on her face.]

This... this clover...

[Looking really, really really close...]




IT HAS A WHOLE FIVE LEAVES!!! WOW!!!

[HUGE SHINING EYES!!!] You really do have clover magic!!!

[alleyenobrain.livejournal.com]

[Oh man, he was sweating for a second there. Chalk it up to being a master of deceit! Child deceit, no less, the most impressive field thereof.]

[He puffs out his chest in a sudden swell of ego]

Heh, well, don't go spreading it around, but I figured this was a special enough occasion to break out the big guns.
