Friendship is Fun and Games!, Wednesday, period 1
The class met in the Danger Shop again, today. The doors opened up onto a wide playground blacktop surrounded by basketball hoops. The asphalt had a few half-courts painted on it, as well as lines for four square, hopscotch, and an enormous, rather inexplicable circle of colored symbols. Beyond the long edge of the black top was a long grassy field, contained on the outer edge by a baseball diamond, and including a nice little swingset, a wide sandbox, and a tetherball court. On either edge of the blacktop were enormous jungle gyms, a rocket ship and a castle, of the old sort that were made from cracked wood and uncoated metal. The ground beneath them was cushioned with fragrant mulch, and the Danger Shop sun reflected bright and cheerful off the metal slides. Smaller items, like pull up and parallel bars and merry-go-rounds also dotted the landscape, and a rickety shed spilled a wide range of balls and varied sports equipment onto the grass. Everything was sized-up to fit teenagers instead of small children.
Pinkie herself was hanging upside down by her knees -- which only really existed when it was expedient for them to do so -- from a set of monkey bars, swinging happily and letting out a little "whee" each time she fell back. "Hi everypony!" she greeted with a wave that nearly jostled her off the bars. "Welcome to recess! We have jumpropes and dodgeballs and hopscotches and everything! Sports are fun, or imagination games, or you can just run around screaming if that's what you're into!" She let out another squee and did a double backflip through the air that she absolutely did not have the momentum to complete without faceplanting in the mulch -- yet did anyway, landing firmly on all four hooves. "Anything goes at recess, especially when the teacher's not paying enough attention, so have at it! Just remember, group games are extra fun, but 'beat each other with sticks' is only really a good time for the people who are best at dodging and blocking. So maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaybe skip that one. Or use the foam bats."
She was such a good role model.
