Eight Cupcakes: Define "Dancing"

[sailorlaughter]

[Isn't space beautiful? Cammy seems to think so - he's just hovering in front of the windows, the shot panning across the stars and planets and - what is that? He zooms in on a small pink object floating in space. It looks like a little...cloud of something? He's barely focused in on it before a space-suited pony, poofy pink tail trailing behind her, pounces on it, turning into a head-over-hooves somersault that carries her out of frame.]

[Cammy quickly darts over to the next window, queuing up a little background music as he does so. After a few seconds Pinkie spirals past, clutching the pink cloud tight to her chest with one foreleg as she waves excitedly to her Cambot buddy with the other. Her jetpack leaves thin white trails of exhaust in her wake, littered here and there with stray pieces of cotton candy. Cammy follows her past a few more windows, until eventually she lets the cloud fly lightly into the window and zips away to flop face-first into another.]

[Her suit must have a little radio or something, because Cammy can still pick up her slightly staticky voice.] Everypony! You've just GOTTA come out and see this! It's COTTON CANDY CLOUDS! IN SPAAAAACE!

What?

[Wilykit runs to the nearest window and lets out a delighted little cry. Sure, they don't have cotton candy where she comes from, but it's pink, it's fluffy, and it's got "candy" in its name! How can it not be something good?]

Oh wow, that's so cool! Hold on, I want to see this stuff up close!

[And there she goes, running off to find another pony-shaped space suit so she can go join Pinkie Pie.]

[sailorlaughter]

Come on, come on! Suits are on Deck 11!

[cleverkit]

Yay! I'll be right there!

[sailorlaughter]

Okie-dokie-lokie! [She's turning slow somersaults with her new cloud now, waiting for people to come out and join her.]

[cleverkit]

[And a short while later, there's another pony gleefully springing out of the satellite to see the vast, unknown reaches of cotton candy-filled space.]

Wheeeeee! Oh man, I should have tried this even before this cotton candy stuff showed up. This is so much fun!

[She isn't especially coordinated right now, but she doesn't care one little bit. At least she manages to reach Pinkie somehow.]

Hi!

[sailorlaughter]

Hi! I'm SO glad you found it! Isn't this the BEST?

[She lightly flings the cloud she has, sending it slowly spinning towards Wilykit.]

[royal_moonrise]

Cotton candy clouds? [...that's unsettlingly familiar...]

[sailorlaughter]

Uh-huh! It's the BEST! I'm gonna try to bring some of them back in with me and see if they still float!

[royal_moonrise]

I would not trust those clouds, Pinkie Pie.

[sailorlaughter]

Aw, why not! Cotton candy is TOTALLY one of the most trustworthy fair foods!

[royal_moonrise]

We feel it is a terrible omen.

[sailorlaughter]

Really? Well, I guess you would know about space and all...

[Pinkie really REALLY doesn't want to think badly of the awesome cotton candy clouds, but she does trust Princess Luna too.] Maybe I could bring one of them in, and then you could come check it out! And then if it's okay, we can all have cotton candy clouds of our very own!

[royal_moonrise]

We would prefer they remain outside.

[sailorlaughter]

Oh...okie-dokie-lokie. [Awwww, why you gotta be a buzzkill, Luna? She was gonna try to make a FORT out of them!]

[royal_moonrise]

['cos she knows. Oh, she knows.]

[sailorlaughter]

[Well, Pinkie's just gonna keep playing outside with her clouds while she can. Nobody told HER, after all.]

[liefeldisgod]

DUUUUDE! [He presses his face right up close to the window.] Where did those come from, man? That is AWESOME!

[sailorlaughter]

I dunno! I just looked out the window and they were THERE! And then I thought they looked like cotton candy, so I came out to see, and they WERE!

[icanhastail]

What- That's awesome! How'd you do that?

[sailorlaughter]

There's all SORTS of suits and pods and things in Deck 11! Come on, come try it out!

[icanhastail]

[He is so totally zipping off in that direction now~]
