How to Be Awesome, Wednesday, 3rd Period

[nomoresportscars]

The Danger Shop looked like a movie theater today. Jackson was parked at one end of the back row of seats.

"Today we're gonna look at things not being awesome," he drawled. "Like this movie. Which you're gonna watch now. So sit your asses down."

Yeah, it was a movie day. Look, the island had smelled funny since Jackson had shown up this morning. As the kids filed in it became extra obvious that there was no point to having a proper class, which was good, because the weird smells were throwing Jackson off anyway.

So the movie began.

"We could probably use our mouths but giant pony heads are more noticeable than quick fingers."

She missed her thumbs.

"An' you got such nice, quick fingers," Ada said with a sigh. "Hooves just ain't right."

"I'm not the only one here who knows how to use her fingers well," Isabela said, much less flirtatiously than she would've if they hadn't been blighted ponies.

Stupid ponies.

"How long you think this is gonna last?" Ada asked, gesturing with a hoof to include all this pony-nonsense. "I wanna get back 't bein' able t' sleep in m' own bed."

Turns out Isabela's ability to innuendo had limits and those limits were equine.

"I don't know," Isabela replied. "Usually it's only a day or two, but then I thought we'd only be in the place without a sun one week and that was two."

"I love th' stars but I missed havin' sunshine," Ada admitted. "But now we got sunshine an... whatever's wrong with th' gravity of this place."

Bouncy. So, so bouncy.

Isabela tilted her head in Dante's direction as a thought struck her. "Think we can convince him to try flying?"

Between the wings, the gravity here, and his general relationship to gravity...

Ada's eyes were wide with delight at the idea. "Yes," she decided, stomping one hoof in excitement. "Because what th' world needs is a flyin' Dante-unicorn."

Girls, no.

"Exactly," Isabela agreed, swishing her tail. "And it might take his mind off things if he can actually do something interesting with them."
