Being apped to route_29 sometime.

[wonderbolt]

Hey, mun!

It's great that you decided on putting me over there this soon, I mean, it's great to get out there.

But we need to have a little talk about the whole "oh, I'm not a pony anymore" thing. This two-legged body thing with no wings isn't going to work out. I'm a pegasus I fly. I'm a pony and I walk on four legs, not this weird two thing.

You know how awkward that's going to be? I mean come on, I was the best flier in Equestria! Being awkward and off-balance is going to make all of that look like a joke!

Digging the fire pony you're thinking of giving me, though. I guess that's a good compensation.

...You get used to it, trust me. It ain't fun in the beginnin', but I reckon you'll catch on just fine.

[wonderbolt]

I don't have much of a choice in the matter, huh? You'd think they'd at least let me keep the wings, not like it'd work with a body like that, you know?

[buckyouup]

I reckon they'd be handy for balance, at least. A shame, but the humans who live there would prolly give you a good stare if you were walkin' around with a pair a' wings on your back.

[wonderbolt]

[... Oh. Oh right, humans don't have wings, do they?

Man, that kind of ruins her ideas of wanting to have her wings. Blend in with the natives, yaddayadda.]

Man, I don't know what I'm going to do with myself. Having to figure out a different way to train, can't get soft even if I'm not the one doing the fighting...

[buckyouup]

On the bright side, I can only imagine how excited Rainbow'll be t'try an' teach you how to use your new human body.

[If... you consider that a bright side?]

[wonderbolt]

[It's... better than being left to figure it out on her own at least?]

The small bright sides to it, I guess. Man, I'll owe her big time for it, though. I can't imagine it'll be anything easy at all.

[buckyouup]

Fingers are a lot tougher, trust me.

[wonderbolt]

[Fingers. Fingers.]

And they expect us to get used to a body completely different from our own? [NOPE. NOPENOPENOPE.]

[buckyouup]

An' don't even think 'bout pickin' anything up with your mouth. I couldn't believe the stares I got th'last time I tried doin' that.

[wonderbolt]

[But fingers. Yeah, that anger just became the most pitiful look.]

Why couldn't they just leave us be? I don't think we're anything like the creatures there... No matter how much someone is insisting that I do.

[buckyouup]

I reckon we'd have an unfair advantage, bein' faster an' stronger than these humans are.

[wonderbolt]

But if they're already using those creatures for it, what difference does it make?

[Give her a moment, putting on a very fake over-the-top mocking voice.] Oh but those ponies are able to move faster than we can! It's not like they were born with it or anything, it's so unfair!

[pieinthesky]

How're you supposed to get used to not having wings? It's like taking away a unicorn's magic, you know? It's a part of who you are and...that's just wrong.

[wonderbolt]

I DON'T KNOW. Soarin, I don't know! But apparently we have no wings, have to walk on two legs, can't use our mouths to pick up things... It sounds awful!

[buckyouup]

[She chuckles.]

I know, trust me, but for some reason, that's how it is.

[friendyousohard]

Yeah, about that...

[This is Twilight pointing at her hornless head.]

[pieinthesky]

But you can't just suddenly get used to all of that! It's like saying "Here, have all of this sky you can't reach because you're a gorilla. Here's a few bananas and good luck." We'll be so out of practice, we'll become the Blunderbolts!

[pieinthesky]

That. That right there. How do you even get used to that? It must've taken you like, forever.

[wonderbolt]

[Just the slightest bit of a huff.]

Seems kind of rude to me, but I guess I can get used to it.

[wonderbolt]

Blunderbolts... [GROAN.]

We'll figure out something! There's gotta be a way to make sure we're still in shape in case something happens, right? I mean, it's not like our wings are the only things... we.... used... [Yes they were.]

[wonderbolt]

[Bwuh.

BWUH.]

Please tell me this is all some horrible fever dream and I'm actually still in my bed in Cloudsdale.

[friendyousohard]

It's been over a year since I arrived.

Still very much not used to it.

[friendyousohard]

I wish I could. Unfortunately I've hung around Applejack too long. All that honesty is catching.

... That and I was never a good liar in the first place.

On the bright side though, it's not one of those horror games full of dying and torture?

[Twilight that's not much of a bright side.]

[wonderbolt]

[NOT HELPING. Though there is a bit of a bright side there, sort of.]

Uuuugh. Supposed to be coordinated, how am I supposed to be coordinated on two legs with no wings, huh? HOW?

And I'd rather one of those if they'd leave the body and wings alone. Being above the heads of those wanting to kill you kind of makes the killing part difficult, after all.

[buckyouup]

Sometimes when she needs me t'hand her somethin' I shine a purple light on it an' act like it's floatin' over to her.
