Sirius Cabin's Sirius Campfire, Saturday morning

[cheminthehead]

Gladys had spent another night watching the stars. She wasn't sure when it had happened, but... "Why Am I A Pony?"

She was, indeed, a pony, and a rather perplexed pony, at that.

It had taken Luke a while to figure out how to get out of Ursa Major (he'd never missed his thumbs so much), but he went trotting towards the first group of...other little ponies...he saw.

"Oh, good, it's not just me. What the hell?" he whined. "Why do I have a lightsaber tattooed on my butt?"

Even in pony form, Luke could pick up on the kind of emotions coming off of Evey.

A Jedi pony. How useless.

"Probably," Luke agreed, shifting the subject slightly. "He'll decide it's the best wedding present ever for my father."

"How'd that go, anyway?" she asked curiously.

[tatooine_doofus]

"No one was a pony or got into a fight or drew weapons," Luke said. "It was perfect. They were both ridiculously happy."

[remember5th]

"It's good that no one was a pony," she said seriously.

[tatooine_doofus]

"That would have been hard to explain. It was strange enough when Jaina introduced herself to her new step great-great grandmother."

[remember5th]

"Your family is very screwed up, Luke," she told him.

[tatooine_doofus]

"It really, really is," he agreed. "At least no new relatives showed up in the last crop of new kids?"

[remember5th]

"Are you sure?" she wondered.

[tatooine_doofus]

"Pretty sure?" he replied, tossing a curl--why did he have curls?--out of his eye.

[remember5th]

"Any lookalikes?" she asked, having good reason to ask such a question, she felt.

[tatooine_doofus]

Luke smiled. "Nope. I'd have to pity the person who showed up wearing my father's face."

[cheminthehead]

"I Do Not Know." Gladys didn't blink, you needed eyelids for that, but the glow in her eyes dimmed briefly then brightened. "Luke?"

[tatooine_doofus]

"That's me," Luke said. "Well, sort of. I'm not normally pony-shaped. Hi, Gladys."

[cheminthehead]

"Hello, Luke," she greeted. "Do You Think We Will Change Back To Being Not Pony Shaped?"

[tatooine_doofus]

"I hope so," Luke said. "I can't fly home looking like this. My sister would never stop laughing."

For a moment, he wondered where Artoo was. Having the droid out of his sight was probably a bad idea.
