020: Catch my little pony

[ra_ra_razputin]

[It's a beautiful, albeit boring, late winter's day in Mayfield, and there's absolutely nothing out of the ordinary. At least, not until a very small pony comes galloping around the corner, followed by an exasperated Raz in hot pursuit, running on his levitation ball as fast as he can

[O-Oh . . . That is really cute. Lucas blinks for a few seconds at the mini pony. And sort of forgets to get out of the way, dazzled by its adorableness....]

[ra_ra_razputin]

Look out lookoutLOOKOUT!

[Here comes a bright orange ball right straight at you, Lucas.]

[a_gentle_boy]

[Fffff he comes to himself in time to quickly shield himself before he is barreled into.

Owch.]

[ra_ra_razputin]

[Raz's ball bounces off the barrier, and Raz himself tumbles to the ground.]

Ow. Uh, sorry about that. Are you okay?

[a_gentle_boy]

Oh, I'm fine! No problems . . .

[Lucas picks himself up off the ground, and he is indeed fine.]

What about you? Are you hurt at all? . . . Raz, right?

[ra_ra_razputin]

[Picking himself up, and readjusting his goggles.]

Yeah, I'm okay. Just a little bruised pride!

[a_gentle_boy]

Was that your horse just now?

[Lucas reaches out to help a bit.]

[ra_ra_razputin]

Technically, yeah. He belongs to my family's circus. He's one of our best attractions!

[More than happy to accept the help!]

[a_gentle_boy]

Do you need help calming him down? I can try to say something . . .

[ra_ra_razputin]

You can give it a shot if you want, he doesn't listen very well though.

[a_gentle_boy]

Does he have a name?

[ra_ra_razputin]

Oh, yeah! His name's Goliath, the World's Smallest Pony!

[a_gentle_boy]

. . . I'll just call him Goliath if that's OK.

[And Lucas will nod before slowly turning to try to catch up to the pony. If it's been galloping at top speed continuously, of course, he wouldn't even see it at all, but . . . ]

Goliath . . . ! Goliath! Are you still here?
