fandomhigh | The Elements of Friendship, Thursday, Period 3

The Danger Shop was set up like Sugarcube Corner, a ponified sweets shop straight out of Pinkie's hometown of Ponyville. There was a counter full of displays of baked goods, including a wide array of colorful cupcakes with apples on top. There were cakes of almost any conceivable size, shape, and flavor. There was a chocolate fountain, surrounded by marshmallows on sticks. There was a punch bowl -- fortunately without a baby alligator swimming in it.

The walls were lined with streamers, and balloons peppered the ceiling. Next to the door was a table full of party hats in bright, cheerful colors, one for each student with their name painstakingly and shakily copied onto it in magic marker.

This was Pinkie's class, after all. Like it wasn't going to get started with a party?

"Hi everypony!" Pinkie crowed when it seemed like everyone had arrived. She was wearing one of her snazzier party hats, shaped like a cake with lit sparklers along the top of it, and as she welcomed the students, she bounced onto her hind legs, flinging her hoofs -- and a lot of confetti -- into the air. "Welcome to the Elements of Friendship! And what's the basis of making new friends? Meeting new ponies!"

She was far too excited by this.

"So today is devoted totally to a great big welcome-it's-nice-to-meetcha party! We have loads of snacks and even my favoritest of bestest party games, Pin-the-Tail-on-the-Pony! So lets all introduce ourselves and have fun!"

Jim grinned. It was good to be back in one of Ms. Pie's classes, especially after the crazy semester he'd just taken off.

"I'm Jim, from the mining planet Montressor," he greeted, "and I love flying around on my surfer, and building things."

"Hi!" Pinkie waved an excited hoof at him. "You can fly?"

This was new. He didn't even have any wings!

Jim was full of surprises like that!

"Well, only sometimes," he explained. "I have this... it's like a surfboard. It does all the work, and I ride around on it."

Which was almost better, because it was way more dangerous than flying with wings.

Pinkie gasped hard enough that she hovered off the ground.

"Can I try?!"

Jim took a moment to picture Pinkie Pie, zipping around on his solar surfer. And it was probably a bad thing that the only issue that even occurred to him with was that it was built with a bipedal humanoid rider in mind.

He grinned a little.

"I could probably build you one of your own, if I had the time and the supplies," he noted. "I mean, one that would be more suited for a pony to use, you know?"

This could not possibly end poorly.

It totally couldn't.

"Omigosh that would be great!" She could take it home then and show it off to Rainbow Dash and watch her brain explode. How awesome would that be? "I could make you cupcakes in return!"

"Cupcakes for a solar surfer, huh?" Jim grinned a bit more at that, yes. He totally knew what cupcakes were. "That sounds like a pretty fair trade to me. It might take me a bit of time to put it together for you, though. I mean. Longer than cupcakes."

He needed to find welding equipment!

"Oh, well, then I'll make more cupcakes!" This was not a hardship for her.

And really, Jim was mostly just looking for an excuse to tinker with stuff, so it definitely wasn't a hardship for him.

"Maybe give me a week or two," he ventured, "to find the supplies and the right equipment to put it all together with? I should be able to manage it by then."

"Okay! That sounds like lots of fun!"
