I started walking over to the frisbee team through the soft grass. As I approached, Twirl turned (twirled) around to face me. Her friends eyed me with some question as to how well I would be able to play.
“You saw the basics out there right?” Twirl questioned.
“Yeah, catch the frisbee with my mouth, throw it with my hoof.” I repeated.
“Awesome, we’ll go slow so you can catch on,” Twirl smiled and closed her eyes.
The group, about eight ponies in all, walked back onto the field. Twirl and I followed them to our outer positions. One of Twirl’s friends, a colt with a brown coat and red mane, threw the frisbee to another pony. The other colt threw it to Twirl quickly, and then she threw it to me.
I jumped up and caught it, I pulled it out before I landed and threw it to another pony. The group looked over to me in amazement, they obviously hadn’t expected me to do so well and neither did I.
“Nice one Scootaloo, let’s go a little faster now,” Twirl said to the group.
The group had a collective nod before the frisbee was passed around again. The ponies moved more this time, doing small tricks to throw the frisbee. A random pony from the group threw it to me very quickly.
I kept my eyes on the frisbee as it came closer and closer, I angled my body just enough to be able to catch and throw the frisbee in one quick motion. The frisbee made contact with my mouth, i closed upon it and spun about 270 degrees and released it, sending it towards another pony.
“Now, let’s move,” Twirl called out, the eight other ponies started running with their own teams after the frisbee.
The teams threw the frisbee in between each other as Twirl and I watched, she poked my shoulder with her hoof as she spoke,
“Join one of the teams,”
I ran out to the all fillies team, they seemed to understand because once I was on the field, the frisbee came towards me. I tried to catch it, but it was intercepted by one of the colts who then passed it away.
“It’s alright! It happens to everypony!” Twist called from the sidelines.
I kept up with the ponies, although they were much more efficient and skilled than i was. My team passed me the frisbee about as much as they did each other, but I was usually slower to return the throw. The nine of us walked off of the field after about thirty minutes of practicing.
“That was fun Scoots,” Twirl said, “You should come again sometime, we practice every Wednesday right here.”
“Totally!” I said, I had a blast playing with the ponies.
The group walked away as I headed back to a smiling Peachy. She hoof-bumped me as she got up. the two of us walked around the campus a little before deciding one one thing.
We were bored.
Very, very bored.
“Well, we could do one thing...” Peachy started.
“Like what?” I asked curiously.
“Remember how when we were following red, we went up into the clouds?” Peachy looked at a fairly large cloud above us.
“Yeah, you want to go up into the clouds?” I wasn’t sure if I was right or not.
“I’d love to, it is amazing up there! I’d do anything to be able to fly like you!” Peachy said, jumping into the air.
“Well, it’s better than nothing, climb on,” I said happily.
Peachy excitedly climbed onto my back and I opened my wings. I let the cool breeze roll under them before I took off.
“Scootaloo, what are you waiting foooooooooooooooooooooo.....” Peachy said as I shot off the ground.
I flew past the low cloud as I increased speed. I took us much higher in the atmosphere than Peachy had been, she looked around in amazement as we continued to gain altitude.
“This is amazing, I’ve never seen anything like it before,” Peachy said, she saw the higher, more secure layer of clouds approaching us from above.
I popped through the layer with Peachy on my back. I landed and she dropped onto the clouds below our hooves.She looked around at the crystal clear sky above and around us with her mouth open.
“This is my favorite place to fly to,” I said happily.
“Why?” Peachy questioned.
I picked a piece of cloud from the main mass and chucked it at Peachy. the cloud made a small ‘poof’ as it disappeared, leaving a small wet spot on her mane.
“What was that?” Peachy turned as she felt her wet mane. A devious smile appeared on both of our faces as we realized what was about to happen.
We dashed to positions about ten feet from one another and stacked up sections of cloud to protect us from each other. I had a very large surprise in store if I happened to be overrun by Peachy’s barrage.
“PREPARE TO BE DEFEATED!” Peachy shouted as hundred of pieces of cloud form the surrounding areas were thrown at me by magic.
The fire from her magic was eating away at my fort, I dug into the cloud about 2 feet just as the cloud pieces sawed my fort in half. I decided to use my secret weapon.
I conformed a small cannon out of clouds to fire a cloud the size of me at Peachy. Once her barrage stopped, I popped out of my foxhole and fired my cloud cannon.
The cloud hit Peachy square, she tumbled backward into another pile of cloud. She started laughing as she removed her wet mane from her face. not only was her mane wet, but the two of us were both completely soaked.
“C’mon, we might want to get dried off,” Peachy said as she approached me.
Peachy jumped back onto me as we descended from our cloud warzone. We flew down onto the balcony at the end of my hallway and landed smoothly.
