"Oh... Drunk ponies... Well, I guess it would be hard to be on a ship like this for the amount of time we'll be on it without running into drunk ponies at least once... You know, as bad as it may be, it's kinda true..."

He sat back, waiting for his own tea to cool before he sipped it again.

Ocean shrugged. "I bet they were just there cause it was the first day. Hopefully there won't be anypony there...do you want to go now? Or would you like to finish your tea?" She asked, looking down at the hot mug. "I could cool that down if you would like..." She said.

@,

 

((Yeah, sure, go ahead. I think it'd be interesting to see Bolt and Windy interact with a character who doesn't have an existing hatred for Windy))

 

As Windy watched Bolt hit the ball, he exercised all the control he could to avoid laughing at her. Instead, he only let a smile slip through his mental defense. ​"Well, that wasn't so bad. It was definitely in the right direction, at least." Windy said, stepping up to take his shot, which was much more controlled and accurate. "I think I may have an unfair advantage, since you always use magic, and I never have, so I have better hoof dexterity. Do you want me to help you take your next shot?" Windy asked, internally congratulating himself on creating another opportunity to wrap his hooves around Bolt, which was something he didn't think he'd get tired of any time soon.

Airy looked at Scamps with a curious look on his face. "Get me in the air? You mean..."

What was this pony up to? Did Scamps really want to... carry him while flying so he would get that feeling once again?

"Are you sure you can handle that? I may not look like much, but I'm not exactly a featherweight. But... if you think you can handle me, I... I couldn't reject that offer..."

Normally Airy would have been able to speak more coherently, but he still was taken by that moment when Scamps had kissed him.

[Leafeon 2,702]

 

((Oh, I'm sure she'll adore you... :3))

 

"Uh... Sure." Firebolt said, still not being able to control her (put? Just as uneducated as Bolt here...)) well. Or at least up to her item standards, which were pretty darn high. She couldn't help it if everything she did was expected to be perfect even if it was her first time doing it. The more she thought of how terrible she was at this the more flustered the unicorn became.

"Well, I should be able to," she responded. "I've lifted heavy objects before, and though it's not fun, I could do it. Not that this woudn't be fun, I just meant that usually it isn't, but since I'm with you, then it will be fun," she awkwardly stammered. "Anyways, yeah. Do you want to go up to the top deck, then? I'm sure I could manage."

[Naturematthe 51]

Airy still was a little worried. "I really appreciate that offer, but please... if you feel like you can't continue carrying me, stop it before you hurt yourself or so."

Airy looked out of the window to check on the weather. "I guess you're feeling like doing that now... Let me say it so, I won't stop you." He smiled at Scamps. "I am ready to go when you are."

@,

 

((Ooh, well, Windy looks forward to meeting her in that case!))

 

Walking up behind Bolt again, Windy wrapped his hooves around and held hers, which were in turn holding the putter. Noticing how visibly frustrated she was getting, Windy choose to adopt a soothing voice when he spoke, "Alright, so the trick to a great putt is to not bend your hooves; keep them straight. Its all in the waist rotation. Keep your eye on the ball, don't let your head twist with your waist when you pull back for your stroke. And the most important thing of all, relax. Take a deep breath. Even the pros screw up, you don't need to be perfect." Gently guiding Bolt's hooves with his own, he helped her to execute a much more controlled put, which rolled to a stop just a few inches short of the hole. "There you go! Now you're getting the hang of it!" Windy exclaimed happily, pecking Bolt on the cheek and flashing a huge smile.

Ocean shrugged. "I bet they were just there cause it was the first day. Hopefully there won't be anypony there...do you want to go now? Or would you like to finish your tea?" She asked, looking down at the hot mug. "I could cool that down if you would like..." She said.

"Oh! Cool my tea? Yeah, sure, I'd like that. Then, after I'm down with my tea, we could go to this little bar-like area."

"Are you really that eager to spend time with her? You don't know much about her; in fact, you met her just yesterday! Why do you want to be with her right now..?"

[Leafeon 2,702]

 

"Only because you helped..." Firebolt said. Such a saying could be taken one of two ways. It was intended to show frustration. But some ponies could take that saying as flirtation, as the mare's voice was neutral. As a forcive habit, every few seconds Firebolt's horn would surge with magical energy. Which was also a bit frustrating.

[Adente 1,000]

@,

 

Windy felt particularly proud of himself at hearing Bolt, since, being Windy, her well-hidden frustration had flown right over his head, and he had thought she was being flirtatious. Trotting over to line up his own putt, Windy noticed Bolt's horn sparking every few seconds, which confused him. After taking his shot, which wound up missing the hole by less than an inch, Windy looked up and couldn't resist asking, "Bolt? Why is your horn sparking like that? Is something wrong?" 

[Leafeon 2,702]

 

Firebolt blushed at Windy's question slightly. Not being able to control your own magic was... Annoying. And it was also caused by annoyance or fear. So the only thing the question did was make the sparks last longer. "Oh, it's nothing..." Firebolt said, smiling nervously. "Uhm, can we... Leave...?"

[Miss Light Diamond 2,802]

"Oh! Cool my tea? Yeah, sure, I'd like that. Then, after I'm down with my tea, we could go to this little bar-like area."

"Are you really that eager to spend time with her? You don't know much about her; in fact, you met her just yesterday! Why do you want to be with her right now..?"

 

Ocean nodded and smiled before her horn glowed. The tea in Nightfall's cup floated into the air and spread out into a bunch small drops. The sat there for a minute before floating back into the cup. "There you go." She said, smiling as she sipped her own still very hot tea.

[Adente 1,000]

@,

 

Windy blinked in surprise; Bolt's request to leave had thrown him for a loop. "What the hay did I do to make her want to leave? Was it that question about her horn sparking? Yeah, I'd be willing to bet that Windy. You shouldn't be so nosy in the future! But I didn't know it was a personal question brain! How was I to know??" 

 

Realizing he was still staring at Bolt with his mouth agape, having been trying to figure out what he had done/said wrong, Windy finally shut his mouth and shrugged as nonchalantly as he could. "Yeah, sure, I guess so. Although can we get a drink real quick at that place right over there?" Windy asked, indicating a Starbuck bar right next to the course. "I could go for a bit of java right now, how about you Bolt?" 

 

((I'd like to keep Bolt and Windy on the top deck for a little while longer. After all, Scamps and Airy are gonna go flying up here...)) 

[Leafeon 2,702]

 

((Ye, I just don't want Bolty to look pathetic, personally. ))

 

"Sure!" Firebolt said, without the ability to visibly hide her relief. She couldn't help but noticing Windy looking upset. Not good, but it would be worse to establish herself as an idiot more-so then she already had. And not only to Windy but to all other ponies I'm the area.

[Adente 1,000]

@,

 

((Hm, so Bolt doesn't like doing things she's not good at, since she feels it makes her look bad... interesting to know))

 

 Putting the putters and balls back away, Windy led the way out of the course to the Starbuck coffee shop right next door. Walking up to the counter, Windy told the cashier, "I'll have an Iced Carmel Macciato, double tall, extra cream." Looking at Bolt, Windy asked, "So, what do you think sounds good Bolt? I'll pay." 

[Nightfall 3,950]

Ocean nodded and smiled before her horn glowed. The tea in Nightfall's cup floated into the air and spread out into a bunch small drops. The sat there for a minute before floating back into the cup. "There you go." She said, smiling as she sipped her own still very hot tea.

"That was cool. How did you learn to do that? I've never seen or heard of anypony else doing that ever before..."

"I have a feeling that with a magic... Er, trick like that, she has some kind of special ability or she specializes in water magic, with a very small chance of both..."

[Miss Light Diamond 2,802]

"That was cool. How did you learn to do that? I've never seen or heard of anypony else doing that ever before..."

"I have a feeling that with a magic... Er, trick like that, she has some kind of special ability or she specializes in water magic, with a very small chance of both..."

 

Ocean smiled. "It's my special talent. I've been training with water magic since I was a little filly. Anypony can do it...but it does take allot of practice. When I was younger the first thing I learnt to do was make a few small wave's in a glass. It took lots of patients." She said, finishing her tea.

[Leafeon 2,702]

 

Firebolt hesitated for a second. She wasn't really familiar with this store, even though she had been there a few times. "Uhm. I'll just have what you're having." She said, quietly. Not making eye contact. She felt like even more of an idiot then before. And she also had no clue as to why.

[Adente 1,000]

@,

 

"Well then, make that two Iced Caramel Macciatos!" Handing over a few bits, Windy turned to Bolt, "Well, I hope you aren't planning on going to bed early tonight, cuz after this caffeine dose, you'll be up all night!" After a slight pause, Windy decided he couldn't help but asking, "Uh, Bolt? Is there any reason you wanted to leave so badly? I mean, was it because I asked that question about your horn, or are you just not a fan of mini-golf?"

Firebolt said nothing for quite some time. Either way she would look bad. In fact: It probably looked bad to pause for so long. "The latter." The mare said bluntly. Deciding to tell the truth - or at least part of it - may or may not have been a good idea. But, what else was she to say? Decline her overly perfectionist trait?

[Nightfall 3,950]

Ocean smiled. "It's my special talent. I've been training with water magic since I was a little filly. Anypony can do it...but it does take allot of practice. When I was younger the first thing I learnt to do was make a few small wave's in a glass. It took lots of patients." She said, finishing her tea.

"Well then, why not the pool? I'd like to see more water magic, and in maybe a bigger area so you could do more with the water."

He smiled at her.

"What if this turns into a bad idea? Will she hate you for bringing the pool back up? She looked a little distressed last time you did..."

[Adente 1,000]

@,

 

Windy quirked an eyebrow at Bolt's brusque response, but was glad that she was being honest. Grabbing his coffee and handing Bolt hers, Windy said, "Well, I guess mini-golf isn't for everypony... Whatever, no big deal!" Walking over to a table, Windy sat down, and motioned Bolt to do the same, before beginning to drink his java and examine Bolt curiously, still confused about her odd behavior.

Ocean bit her lip. "Well...um. I can use water magic, but I don't swim...can we stick with the bar?" She asked, hoping he didn't mind. "I mean...if you really want to go to the pool, we can, I just wont be swimming...or going near the water...or getting wet...at all." She said, playing with her empty mug of tea.

The waiter came back over moments later with the check. Ocean reached into her bag and plopped a few bites down on the table, enough to pay for both her and Nightfall.

Nightfall looked at the bits, then at Ocean.

"Why does everypony feel like paying? I have bits of my own, and while it's a nice sign, it's starting to get... I don't know. I just wonder why everypony insists on paying when I'm around... It feels that way..."

"I won't leave you sitting on the side of the pool alone; forget the pool. The bar sounds good enough."

"Trust me. I've got this," she replied. She fluttered above the ground, so she was just above Airy's back. She gently grabbed him by wrapping her hooves around his upper stomach, to balnce him out. "Get ready for this," she whispered.

 

She began to pump her wings harder, getting much more lift, and took off into the night sky above the ship. She beamed, her smiling nearly glowing. She did a few tricks, making sure she gripped him as hard as she could without (hopefully) hurting him. She looped aroundm then barrel rolled in the sky. "Whoo! This is awesome!" She screamed, througholy enjoying their flight.

 

Then the fatigue came. Ber wings couldn't keep up, between having to carry the extra weight, and pulling of f tricks. "I'm going in for a landing. I'll try to get you back on your wheelchair, but..." she was cut off as she had to breathe harder.

 

She landed softly on the deck, completely out of breath. "I'll....I'll getcha over..to your wheelchair. Just...just give me a minute." She looked over and saw that she had landed near some kinda coffee shop, completely unaware of who was there.
