Fandom High Welcome Picnic, Front Lawn of the School, All Day: Part II

[bigdamnprincipal]

There were tables and chairs set up all around the lawn. Some were in the sun, where folks could work on their tan while they ate, and some were in the shade where folks could stay cool and non-crispy.

All of the tables had some blue and gold glitter scattered across them, because there was always enough to go around. This school certainly was blesesed in all the right ways.

[OCD is up! This is the picnic post for general mingling. Roommates, fake siblings and teachers are all here. Since it's outside, the picnic is open to all students, teachers, and townies!]

Making her giggle was precisely what the swoon was for.

"Oh good," Pinkie said, recovering instantly. "Which one would you like to try?"

Re: General Mingling [Fall 2015]

"All of them!"

Because the fact that that might lead to an upset stomach had not occurred to her.

"That's the spirit!" Pinkie picked up a pink cupcake and held it out for Alluka. "Try these first. I made them myself!"

She'd made most of the cupcakes on the table. Because she'd eaten most of the cupcakes that had been there when she got here.

When had she had the time to make them?!

"Ooooh!" Alluka took the cupcake. "It looks delicious!"

There were all sorts of usable hours in a day when you were an excitable pink pony.

"Thank you! Baking is loads more fun when you know it'll make somepony smile."

"I don't know how to bake," she admitted, biting into her cupcake. Alluka hummed and pretended she had to think about how it tasted before announcing, "It's amazing! Is it hard to learn?"

Re: General Mingling [Fall 2015]

[locointhecoco]

"It's not hard at all!" Pinkie said. "You just have to be good at following directions, like recipes. I could show you sometime, if you like!"

Re: General Mingling [Fall 2015]

[that_oldsaying]

"I'd love to!"

Because, definitely, Alluka needed to know how to feed her own sweet tooth.

"Are there lots of instructions? Can you make up your own?"

Re: General Mingling [Fall 2015]

[locointhecoco]

"Sometimes! But it's better to start with something nice and simple, like cupcakes, and follow real close until you really get to know what all the steps are for."

Re: General Mingling [Fall 2015]

"Like with skating?" she suggested. "Ringo makes me learn all the basics before I get to try anything like what she can do."

Re: General Mingling [Fall 2015]

[locointhecoco]

"Yup yup yup! Really, it's a great way to learn all sorts of new fun things."

Re: General Mingling [Fall 2015]

[that_oldsaying]

"I'm not very good at anything I've started learning," she admitted, laughing at herself. "But maybe I'll find something, right?"

Re: General Mingling [Fall 2015]

[locointhecoco]

"Maybe! And lots of things take practice. That's when you're not very good at something the first time you do it but then you do it over and over and then you get very good at it!"

Re: General Mingling [Fall 2015]

[that_oldsaying]

"Did you have to practice a whole lot?" Alluka asked curiously.

Re: General Mingling [Fall 2015]

[locointhecoco]

"Not a whole whole lot," Pinkie said. "But that's because my very special talent is parties and making ponies smile, and baking fits right in there just perfectly!"

Re: General Mingling [Fall 2015]

[that_oldsaying]

"Did you always know it was your super special talent?" she asked. "Does everyone have one? Is there a way to tell?"

Re: General Mingling [Fall 2015]

"There is in Equestria!" Pinkie said. "And no, I didn't find out until I was almost a full-grown pony. I grew up on a rock farm. There wasn't a lot of smiling there. Then one day -- BOOM! -- a rainbow blasted across the sky and I grinned so so big and I just knew I had to learn how to make other ponies smile too, and so I threw a party and my family loved it and then I got my cutie mark!" Pinkie gestured to the balloons on her flank with her nose. "And that's how I knew!"
