Seven Cupcakes: Pony 101

[sailorlaughter]

Hey, everypony! Oh my gosh, I can TOTALLY say that now! Everypony! [She giggles behind a hoof.] Okie-dokie-lokie! I heard that a lot of you are having a liiiiiittle trouble with being a pony! So I thought I'd do something to help you all out!

[Cammy starts playing some music as the lesson starts. What, you didn't think it'd be normal, did you? He zooms in on Pinkie's hooves as she demonstrates the very FIRST thing you've got to know when you're a pony.]

Just put one hoof in front of the other~
And soon you’ll be walking 'cross the floooooor!
Put one hoof in front of the other~
And soon you’ll be trottin' out the door!

You just gotta get the right rhythm!
Just listen to Pinkie's little song!
Just flick that little tail and keep with 'em!
Your hooves will carry you all day long!

Put one hoof in front of the other~
And soon you’ll be walking 'cross the floooooor!
Put one hoof in front of the other~
And soon you’ll be trottin' out the door!

[Technically, what she's doing by now is more along the lines of moonwalking. Or maybe shuffling. But it's the principle of the matter. She jumps on a trampoline and starts bouncing for the next verse.]

Now if you've got wings you can beat
I've just got one thing to say
Well, don't be afraid - flying's real neat!
Princess Luna can show you the way!

[She hops off the trampoline to demonstrate basic walking/dancing/shuffling again.]

Put one hoof in front of the other~
And soon you’ll be walking 'cross the floooooor!
Put one hoof in front of the other~
And soon you’ll be trottin' out the door!

And if on your flank you've got a picture
Like a diamond or a star or a BALLOON! [She shoves her own flank into the screen, showing off her cutie mark.]
You know your special talent, that much is sure!
If not, it's okay, you'll get one soon!

Put one hoof in front of the other~
And soon you’ll be walking 'cross the floooooor!
Put one hoof in front of the other~
And soon you’ll be trottin' out the door!

[Ironically, the last verse is delivered while she's standing on her hind hooves, in true grand finale form. She drops back to all fours as the music fades.] And if you have any questions about anything else, just ask!

[Pinkie headtilts at the cutie mark too, looking puzzled.] Well, I dunno! What is it?

[halfdarkened]

It's similar to a symbol found on heartless, monsters made of darkness. I... Had this as part of a form I had. Something I'd rather forget. [Sure it's on his Keyblade, but it made sense as a balance of light and dark.]

[sailorlaughter]

[Pinkie rubs her chin with one hoof. She honestly has no idea what any of that's about.] Wellllll...cutie marks are kinda personal, you know? Every pony has their own story about how they got theirs and what it means and everything. I dunno if anypony else can really tell you why your mark is one thing or another...probably not even the PRINCESSES.

[Riku's ears go back as he looks down.] If it's personal instead of just a talent... Then it's perfect for me.

[sailorlaughter]

Sora's didn't really show a talent either, other than being Keyblade-y and Sora-y. Yours is probably the same way! Only without the Sora-yness!

[halfdarkened]

[Riku's ears slowly go back up as he raises a brow at her.] I'm glad. I'd be very worried if I had any "Sora-yness" on me. [There's a bit of a smirk there. Poking fun? Why yes.]

[sailorlaughter]

[She giggles.] Yeah, you're just full of Riku-ness! Or maybe even Rikuity!

[halfdarkened]

[Smirk's gone. Facehoof.] Just... Stop.

[sailorlaughter]

Yeah, you're right! Rikuity IS the best one!
