Giant Nerd Pony

[catchthatdream]

[So the pony Dreamcatcher, previously known as Arthur, trots into the bar. As he puts his hind legs up on the stool in an attempt to sit.

Dominic does a double take "... Wot. Arthur is that you?"

Gives a sigh.]

Yea... I'm a pony now.

... Don't ask, my mun did this while she was sick, clearly she makes the best decision during that.

Now. If you'd be so kind as to give me a Root Beer float, I need something. Thanks.

[Places his hoove against his cheek as he waited for his drink.]

Comments

[catchthatdream]

[Dreamcatcher smiled as he nodded.]

I would love to learn from you!

[Grins wide.]

I'll be sure to ask you any questions if I'm ever in a rut then.

O-Oh u-um... L-Luna... I should... Probably tell you something.

Fluttershy and Pinkie already know and they're okay with it, but...

[His ears lowered, he's always so hesitant to reveal he was a giant to others, but he tries to tell those he knows are gonna be good friends.]

[lonely_dreams]

[Her smile was kind and warm.]

I know. And you need not fear, with me. I have been through my own... hard times, and feared judgement of others for what they knew me as. However I learned that, with the guidance of friends, what others perceived me as did not matter, not when measured against the love and acceptance I received from those that truly cared for me.

So, young Dreamcatcher. I have been there. [She dipped her head a slight bit, but respectful all the same.] And you do not need to fear it from me.

[catchthatdream]

[Listening in soft silence, his eyes widen a little in surprise. His head lowered as he looked into her eyes as he gave a small smile, his eyes glossed over. Fighting his tears from falling he closed them as he bowed his head in return.]

Thank you for understanding...

[Then he gave soft frown as he opened his eyes back, shaking his head to fight the emotions as he sniffed.]

Sorry you went through something similar though.

[lonely_dreams]

[The lightest of smiles.]

Do not fret. It is something I have come to terms with.

[catchthatdream]

[Arthur looked to side as he smiled in return.]

Mine's still a work in progress, but at least I know I have friends now.

[lonely_dreams]

Then you have already taken a big step along the way.

[catchthatdream]

[Smiles as he tilts his head softly toward her.]

Yea I suppose so...

Luna, will you be my friend as well as my mentor?

[lonely_dreams]

[She nodded, smiling gently.]

Of course. I would be honored.

[catchthatdream]

[Dreamcatcher grinned as he held out his hooves as he got on hind legs like Pinkie does.]

Great so hugs the-?

[Falls over backwards, really man, you're not advanced enough for that step yet in pony abilities.]

[lonely_dreams]

[She smiled humoredly, on the verge of a chuckle, and levitated him back upright as she stepped forward. Hugs may be a bit beyond him, but they could certainly cross horns.]

[catchthatdream]

[Dreamcatcher got back upright as he was lifted back up, blushing in embarrassment as he chuckled, looking down.]

Th-Thanks.

[lonely_dreams]

[She smiled, finding his horn and touching her longer one to it, a gesture of friendship, and also one that as a side effect may tingle through his dreamwalking magic, being so close to a mare of the night such as she.]

You're welcome.

[catchthatdream]

[Arthur breathed, as he felt the tingle of magic from the touch of the horn. He closed his eyes softly with a smile as he leaned in to the touch. Looking back at her with a now new calm and contented expression.

Then slowly glancing over after then were done, he noticed a certain item she was wearing.]

... Hm, is that a tiara?

[lonely_dreams]

[She stepped back, looking lightly amused, saying nothing.]

[catchthatdream]

[He hummed, yup, that's a tiara.

...

...

Eyebrows raise.]

W-Wait, that means... Are you a princess?

[lonely_dreams]

[She nodded.]

I am Princess of the Night.

[catchthatdream]

O-Oh uh-!

[He blushed, he just embarrassed himself so many times in front of royalty. HAHA, what a loser amirite?

He gave a bow as he smiled.]

Wow uh, I didn't realize you were a Princess.

I-I mean it, you're very pretty and wise but I-Ha ha, well this is embarrassing...

[lonely_dreams]

Dreamcatcher.

I may be a princess, but I am also your friend.

[catchthatdream]

[Grins up at her.]

I know!

I-I mean uh, I know.

[Dreamcatcher gave a shy smile.]

Honestly, though that is pretty cool that you are.

I've never met royalty before.
