Sweater of the day: A wizard's hat!

[bezazzled]

Who: Mabel Pines & YOU!
What: Bouncy house fun!
When: Right now!
Where: The front lawn of the castle!
Rating: G!


It's high time Mabel puts her ability to wish for anything to good use. She's got a long list of requests. So she's heard about that one time that everyone suffered for their wishes. Pfffft! That's in the past, and she promises to wish cautiously. She'll only wish for things that she absolutely needs.

What she absolutely needs is a bounce house.

It's a simple bounce house. Her only desire is to jump, not race awkwardly through an obstacle course. There's only so much enjoyment a kid can get from jumping on their bed, and what better way to fulfill the need to bounce than to wish for a quality bounce house? It's pretty great if she says so herself.

Mabel can be found inside the house, jumping and laughing and giggling to her heart's content. Anyone at all is free to join her, though she won't hesitate to remind others to play nice, remove all sharp objects, and always always keep their socks on.

"Admittedly, the younger ponies may have seen this sort of thing afore."

And she's still hovering. She doesn't see much point in bouncing when you've already got wings.

"We do have trampolines. Of that, I am certain."

[bezazzled]

"Think of this as just a bigger trampoline," Mabel says, throwing her weight a bit so that she jumps higher. "A bigger trampoline with safety nets so you don't fly out, and a roof so you don't jump too high."

She takes one look at those wings and adds, "For those of us that can't fly, anyway."

[doublethefun]

She chuckles. "I must admit, bouncing is not particularly enthralling when one can dive off of clouds without a second thought."

[bezazzled]

"I guess, but when was the last time you bounced? I mean truly bounced? From within?"

She's clutching the front of her sweater. She means the heart, whatever that's supposed to mean.

[doublethefun]

She looks pretty amused.

"Well, most internal organs are rather stationary relative to each other..."

[bezazzled]

"No no! I mean your soul! Flying is one thing, but you're always deciding what direction to go in. When you jump, you don't know where you'll land or how high you'll go."

She exhales, spreading her palms.

"It's hard to explain. It's something you have to actually experience to understand."

[doublethefun]

There's a slight headtilt as she listens.

"Thou art speaking of being carefree, yes?"

[bezazzled]

Mabel's eyes widen and she gasps.

"Yes! That's exactly what I'm talking about! More or less!"

[doublethefun]

Aaand she looks fairly contemplative for a long minute.

"I am not particularly sure. Is 'having fun' the same as being carefree?"

[bezazzled]

She makes a face. Is this pony for real?

"They usually go hand in hand, yeah."

[doublethefun]

Yup. Sorry, but you've met one of the grouchier ponies. At least she knows what 'fun' is at this point in time.

Hmmm. "There was a thunderstorm a few months ago. Dodging lightning is a rather amusing pastime, 'though I would not exactly describe it as 'carefree.'"

...Grin.

[bezazzled]

Her eyes widen in surprise, but not wary.

"Whoa! No, that's totally carefree! It means you're free of caring about whether you get hurt or not, you know? That totally counts, too! I bet it's a lot of fun. If I was a flying pony, I know I'd try that out at some point."

Okay, she's lying about that last part, but what are the odds of her EVER turning into a pony?

[doublethefun]

"If thou wert a Pegasus pony, such things might be a matter of course. Forsooth, most Pegasi have the good sense to remain above the clouds during a storm."

[bezazzled]

For a brief moment, Mabel finds herself lost in a daydream where she is a majestic pegasus with grand wings and a long, flowing mane. Her eyes kind of sparkle at the thought as visions of her soaring above the clouds distracts her entirely from what Luna is saying.

When Luna stops talking, she snaps out of it. "What?"
