Summer Games of Harmony, Wednesday, period 1

[locointhecoco]

The class met on the beach, where Pinkie waited, wearing a large, festive sun hat.

"Hello, everypony!" she called. "Welcome to Summer Games of Harmony, the class where we'll see which of you is the very best at a whole bunch of fun games and competitions! On Earth, they're soon going to have something called an Olympics, where all kinds of folks from all different countries come together and play lots and lots of games, and that sounded like a great idea for a class to me, so here we are!

"But first, we need to know what countries you want to represent! They can be any kind of country you want, the one you actually come from, or a new one you make up entirely! So everyone go around and tell us your name, and pick a country that you're going to represent for class, and then we'll get started!"

Once introductions were done, she went on.

"Today, we're going to play our first game. Since it's kinda hot out, I thought it'd be a great idea to play in the water. So everypony get on this starting line," she drew a line in the sand using her hoof, "facing the water, then when I yell 'go', you'll all run to the water and jump in. Whoever jumps the farthest will win!"

Pinkie stomped her front hooves in an approximation of a drumroll, then yelled "GOOOOOOOOOOO!" at the tops of her lungs.

Juliet had put Jeremy-the-lemur down to start the race, but he screeched and tore after her, managing to attach himself to her back at precisely the wrong moment. She tumbled into the surf more than she jumped, and came up sand-covered and sputtering.

Jeremy, at least, seemed to think it was funny.

Hanna was a bit competitive. It was also really hot outside and the water looked very inviting. It was a combination of the two things that allowed her to jump pretty far into the water. She even surprised herself.

Billy wasn't terribly good with physical activities, but the water was really inviting and hey, it seemed that being skinny and bendy had its uses after all.

Stacey was going to blame the weather, and clearly not eating enough earlier for the fact that she didn't do so well.

In reality, she hadn't wanted to get her clothes wet and was just too hesitant in actually doing this.

Richie stumbled a bit as he got to edge of the water and didn't manage to get very far at all. But at least he wasn't last.
