Third Floor Common Room, Sunday Morning

It had been bad enough to wake up as a pony. Now Topher was realizing that his hooves made it impossible to play video games. Video games. IT WAS KILLING HIM. He stomped around on the controllers, trying to figure out a system, but his tiny character just kept getting blasted with fire that he could have avoided if he had had opposable thumbs, ( Read more... )

Marshall gave Topher a long stare. "... Fine," he said.

Flap, flap, flap -- and Marshall was about a foot off the ground before he fell back down. "... Ow."

No ceiling fan for you, Topher!

DAMNIT.

"Aw," he said disappointedly. An idealistic person might assume that he was disappointed because Marshall had gotten hurt, but that person would be wrong. He had just really wanted to see the ceiling fan craziness.

"Guess there's no point in me trying now, is there?"

"What? No, if we're doing this properly, we need all of the information we can get! You totally need to do it too!"

It was for science, Topher! For SCIENCE!

For science, huh? Topher did like science.

"Okay, okay," he grumbled. Feeling utterly ridiculous, and harboring the sneaking suspicion that Peter might be lurking somewhere with a camera, he flapped his wings just enough to lift off the ground. Then he sneezed, and collapsed back down.

"Ow."

"Well, that tells us two things," Marshall said, kinda gleefully. "One, the wings work. Somehow. Two, we both need practice."

"Or," Topher proposed, "it tells us that we should never attempt that ever again."

"Are you telling me you don't want to learn how to fly?"

Really, Topher? Really?

This was the part where he pointed out his whole reasoning for getting involved in this conversation in the first place.

"Ceiling fan's on," he pointed out.

[[Have fun!]]

"I didn't say we had to try it here," Marshall pointed out. "I'd also suggest, you know, not practicing on the roof."

"Huh," Topher said thoughtfully. Well, if it was for science...

"Where would you wanna go?"

"Outside somewhere?" Marshall suggested. "I mean, the grass is probably... softer... right? Might help break our fall if we fall again, y'know?"

"Okay, yeah," Topher said, attempting an awkward shrug of his lack of shoulders. "Wanna go now?"

Without putting on clothes. That was new.

"Sure! I mean, what else are we going to do today, right?" Marshall asked. "I mean, we could probably just do it right out in front of the dorms, that way if other winged ponies go by we could ask them to help out, too, right? In testing the whole flying thing?"

Topher nodded. "Yeah, totally," he agreed. Okay, yes, he was actually getting excited about this. Come on. It was flying. Without a plane or anything! "Let's go."
