[ACTION] PREPARE FOR TAKE OFF!!

[laughafterme]

[Pinkie is standing next to some new fandangled contraption while preparing for what looks like a flight. She has goggles, a helmet, a backpack (which is really her parachute), knee and elbow pads, and her game face! Nothing can stop her now!

Except someone who may stroll by and distract her with questions.]

[Reno was a pilot and loved all sorts of choppers and planes and things, but this was... different, to say the least.

Walking by, the closer he got, the more confused his expression. Eventually he stopped not too far away, and folded his arms. She wasn't serious, was she?]

What is that?

[laughafterme]

Oh, hey Reno! [Oh so casual about seeing him.] It's my flying machine!

[midgarhorizon]

[Wait what]

You sure that's gonna get off the ground?

[laughafterme]

Yep YEP YEP! It's from back home!

[midgarhorizon]

All right, let's see it.

[He takes a seat and waits. Definitely got to see this.]

[selphie_t]

[Well that is definitely one way to get Selphie's attention. She wanders over to Pinkie and looks at the contraption curiously before finally asking what's on her mind.]

Uh, Pinkie? What is that?

[laughafterme]

[With a grin, Pinkie finishes up with her gear before hopping on. With her feet in the pedals and hands on the steering bars, Pinkie begins cycling. The propellers rotate and the machine lifts off, a bit roughly since it's been a while, but she's up there!]

[laughafterme]

It's a flying machine! DUH!

I like to call it a Fly-O-Copter!

[selphie_t]

It looks like it's made out of candy though. Are you sure it's gonna fly?

Wouldn't asking for access to the jet pack thingers be easier?

[laughafterme]

It'll fly! Have more faith! Gosh!

[Pinkie blinks in confusion.]

We have jet packs?

[midgarhorizon]

[Okay, she got him. He is duly impressed.]

You win. Where're ya flying to?

[laughafterme]

[Pinkie lands on the ground again, because she forgot how much work it took to pedal.]

Oh, just around Garden! Why? Wanna ride?

[selphie_t]

Candy won't be able to support your weight.

I think we do. We'd have to go find out.

[midgarhorizon]

[He shakes his head a bit.]

Nah, I like helicopters better. Say, what's your name?

[laughafterme]

Uh, I never said it was made of candy!

Well, show me that we do, and I can make some adjustments! [Jet packs strapped onto the Fly-O-Copter? Yes please!]

[laughafterme]

[Ah, the time of truth. Pinkie's smile falters a bit before she brings it back.]

I'm Pinkie Pie!

[elementofloyalty]

Oh wow, it's your flying thing.

[Rainbow pops up -- or down, rather -- just above the contraption.]

[laughafterme]

Yeah, it's my flying thing!! I'm gonna take it for a test drive!

[elementofloyalty]

I... better stick around to watch that. Just in case.

[midgarhorizon]

Nice to meet ya, Pinkie.

[Yeah don't think he didn't notice that.]

What's wrong?

[laughafterme]

Okie dokie lokie! Maybe I can out fly you!

[Unlikely, but she knows Dashie loves competition. She sets herself up into the seat, looking determined!]

[laughafterme]

[Her face betrayed her! D: ]

Well... [She took in a deep breath before explaining.] I know you, but not YOU you, but the other you! And I guess the other you got whisked away and now YOU'RE here but you don't know me anymore even though you should! So I'm just...you know...SAD that the NEW YOU doesn't know the old me, who isn't actually old since I've been here for like...forever!

So it's just awkward, you know?

[midgarhorizon]

[Yep. His head hurt.]

Uhhh... okay?

[So not sure how to react to that.]

[laughafterme]

[Pinkie can babble like no one's business.]

BUT ANYWAY! I'm glad you're back! That's all that matters!

[midgarhorizon]

[Embarrassed, he scratched his head a bit.]

Thanks.

[This was weirding him juuust a smidge, sort of like first meeting the Monk Tseng.]

Have ya tried casting Float on the flying machine?
