[Prince Midnight 817]

midnight smiled, "anytime you want to start." he chuckled, "we can start here if you like?"

[Electrobolt 2,069]

Electrobolt looked at Midnight confused. "Here?" he asked Midnight. "In the library? I think it'd be better if we did it somewhere outside... And away from everypony else too, so that we don't accidentally hurt anypony..." He shuddered just thinking about what would happen if he shot somepony, even if on accident.

[Prince Midnight 817]

midnight smiled and tenderly nuzzled electro, "no no no, you have to work on your balance," he smiled and stood on his hind hooves, "you have to make it second nature, so you can focus all your attention on the bow, when you pull an arrow, nock it, draw the bow, annd fire, all the while, your focusing on the bow, you cant be focusing on your body."

[Electrobolt 2,069]

Electrobolt couldn't help but give off a sheepish grin as he said, "Uh... Right, I... I knew that, yeah..." Letting out a sheepish chuckle, he shook his head. He then watched as Midnight demonstrated what he was talking about, amazed at how easily he was able to stand on just his hind legs. Using one of the tables, he began to get himself onto his hind legs. However, this was proving to be rather difficult, as the moment he let go, the young earth pony found himself flat on his back. "Um... A little help here...? Heheh..."

[Prince Midnight 817]

midnight got on all his hooves and smiled helping the young earth pony up, "alright, try again, dont feel scared to ask for help, okay?"

[Electrobolt 2,069]

Electrobolt smiled as Midnight helped him up. "Thank you," he said, back on all fours now. "And I'll keep that in mind..." He didn't ask though, as he wanted to try again on his own to stand on his own hind hooves. Using the same table, he began to push himself up again. This time however, he did it slower than the first time, taking his time. Once he felt like he was ready, he let go of the table. This time, he was actually on his hind hooves, not tipping backwards. "Hey, I'm doing it!" he said, sorta excited. "I'm actually---" Just then, he began to lose his balance. "Whoaoaoaoa... Oof!" Once more, he found himself on his back. But instead of feeling embarrassed about all of this, he was smiling. At least he was improving.

[Prince Midnight 817]

midnight smiled, "your improving love, your improving, now come on, "he helped him up, "lets do it again, ill stand behind you this time , catch you if you fall." he smiled "okay?"

he smiled and stood on his own hind hooves, "now, this time, when your on your hind hooves, try focusing on something else, get your mind prepared, pretend your holding a bow," he smiled, "it will get easier over time."

[Electrobolt 2,069]

Electrobolt smiled as Midnight helped him up once again. He nodded as Midnight said he'd catch him if he would fall the next few times. Listening to Midnight suggesting what he should do, Electrobolt kept those things in mind as he attempted to get on his hind hooves once more. After doing so, he cleared his mind. Even though his legs were shaking a little, he still remained on his hind hooves. Instead of getting excited about doing this, he focused on how to hold onto a bow. Unfortunately for him, he couldn't get a comfortable feel as his shaky legs finally gave, sending him backwards into Midnight's forelegs.

[Prince Midnight 817]

midnight caught him and smiled, "good good," he pushed him back up, and held him, he was blushing a bit "bend your knees slightly, there you go, it prevents your blood from being cut off, and your legs from falling asleep, you dont know how many times ive had that happen in a compitition." he chuckled,

"with me holding you up, just clear your mind again, pretend to hold a bow."

[Electrobolt 2,069]

Electrobolt blushed when Midnight held onto him as well, but nodded as he bent his knees as instructed. Upon doing that, his hind hooves felt less shaky than before. He smiled as he closed his eyes once more, focusing on trying to hold onto a bow. He began to imagine the shape of the bow that Midnight owned in his mind, as he imagined himself holding it. The angle still felt odd, but he figured it was mostly because he was holding air, and just ignored the odd feeling. As he still held onto the imaginary bow, he pulled back on where the string would be, as if he was about to fire an arrow.

[Prince Midnight 817]

midnight smiled, and came around in front, "good, good," he chuckled, "notice something, dont lose your focus, just tell me." he grinned, he was not holding onto electro anymore, but had his wing right there, just in case, to help if need be.

[Electrobolt 2,069]

Electrobolt's eyes were still closed as he focused on the invisible bow and arrow that he was holding. He didn't hear Midnight, as he was deep in focus. Pulling back on the invisible string once more, he let the string loose, imagining the arrow soaring through the sky. As soon as he did that, he opened his eyes, smiling. At that moment, he saw Midnight next to him instead of behind him. "Wait..." he began, still on his hind hooves. "Am... Am I actually...?"

[Prince Midnight 817]

midnight smiled and nodded, "yes, you are," he smiled and watched electro with a smile, "practice at this a few times, just keep imagining, keep praticeing, then when you feel you have that handled, we can start with the real bow." he smiled and wrapped his hooves around electros neck "okay?"

[Electrobolt 2,069]

Electrobolt smiled as he was still standing on his hind hooves, not falling. Blushing when Midnight wrapped his hooves around his own neck, he said, "I-I'll continue to practice as we go along." He then wrapped his own hooves around Midnight, giving him a nice hug. This, however, caused him to fall onto his back once more, this time pulling Midnight down with him. Chucking sheepishly, he added, "Um... Sorry, heheh..."

[Prince Midnight 817]

midnight smiled and nuzzled electros neck* its okay hun, you did well, you just need practice for your concentration, and stamina, and you should be good." he licked electros nose with a blushing giggle.

[Electrobolt 2,069]

Once Midnight licked his nose, Electrobolt blushed until he couldn't blush any brighter. He smiled as he hugged Midnight, before saying, "I'll continue to practice... I'll practice every day on my concentration and stamina... But for now... For now, I feel like I accomplished something incredible..."

[Prince Midnight 817]

midnight smiled and nodded, "yes you did love, yes you did." he smiled, "you accomplished something not many ponies can do, and i applaud you."

he smiled, "shall we get back to the others?"

[Electrobolt 2,069]

Electrobolt nodded as he gave Midnight a small kiss before getting back on his hooves. "Yeah, maybe we should..." he replied to Midnight. "I wonder if they're wondering where we are..." Shaking his head, he added, "Maybe they're just reading books and are just waiting for us to return... Who knows..." He then chuckled as he helped Midnight get up.

Song sat tiping in his chair as he continued to read "Who knew reading was this fun" he thought to him self. Just then his chair fell back along with him "Ow I hope no pony saw that" he said getting back up looking from side to side.

[Prince Midnight 817]

midnight smiled and kisses electros cheek before he started to head off to the others waiting for electrobolt to catch up, "wanting to keep reading robin hooves?"

[GreenWind 70]

After Seeing if any pony saw him fall he noticed Midnight an Electrobolt "Where have you to been" he called

[Prince Midnight 817]

midnight smiled, "oh, we were just talking " he smiled and bumped hi flank against electros "had to talk about something important."

[GreenWind 70]

"Then what was that I saw before headed back" He said referring to the kiss

[Prince Midnight 817]

midnight blushed, "you saw that?"

[GreenWind 70]

"yeah I did but it will be our little secret" he said as he winked a Midnight.
