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.]

[strengthinkindness]

I-It's...not a bad look for you...

[Here Arthur, have shy pony.]

[catchthatdream]

[Arthur's ears perked up as he gave a smile.]

Fluttershy! It's good to se-

[Attempts to climb off seat, is not used to hooves, falls flat on face.]

... Ow.

[strengthinkindness]

O-Oh...!

[Hurrying over, she helps him up.]

You okay...?

[catchthatdream]

[As he helped up he shuffled his hoof as he grinned in embarrassment down at her.]

Y-Yea I'm alright.

I guess I'm still not used to these hooves yet.

[strengthinkindness]

Mm...It can be hard adjusting to having different limbs suddenly...

But I'm sure you'll get it...

[catchthatdream]

I just have to practice right?

Can't be too hard.

Just one hoof over the other-whoa whoa-!

[Holding bar stool for balance now kay thnx.]

[strengthinkindness]

[She smiles as she walks up next to him.]

Here, try it this way...

[She demonstrates for him, showing him how to step with four legs now.]

[catchthatdream]

[Arthur slowly let go of the bar stool, as he followed her in suit.]

L-Like this?

[strengthinkindness]

[She nodded.] Right...! There you go...

[catchthatdream]

[Arthur began to trot as he got used to steps.]

H-Hey I'm doing it! Yea!

[strengthinkindness]

[She giggles.] That's great...!

[catchthatdream]

Yeaaaa!

Yeaaaaaaa! I got it-!

[Trot trot trot, goes around in a little circle.]

Wahooooo! Check me out I'mma trottin'~

[Is looking at Fluttershy doesn't see the little side table he's about to run into.]

[strengthinkindness]

[Fluttershy sees it though.]

Oh, look out...!

[catchthatdream]

Whu-?

[CRASH, there goes the table, as his hooves went up in the air as he fell, the half filled drinks now splattered all over him. As he winced.]

... That... Was embarrassing...

[strengthinkindness]

[With a sympathetic wince, Fluttershy heads over, moving the glasses aside and helping him up.]

Are you okay...?

[catchthatdream]

[Arthur held up his hoof as he got back up, shaking off the spill from his mane, his hair poofed out more than usual as he gave her an awkward grin.]

Yea, just my pride that took the damage there, I'll be okay though.

[strengthinkindness]

[With a soft smile, Fluttershy grabbed a few napkins to help clean him up.]

All right...

[catchthatdream]

[Arthur took some of the napkins himself to try and get rid of the mess.]

I'm sure I'll get the hang of it, it just takes some time.

[Gives as sigh as he finished cleaning. He shook his hair a bit to reveal the horn as he looked up at it.]

I'll have to practice with this too, I know it can perform magic.

[strengthinkindness]

Mm...everything takes practice. You're doing really good so far, so I know you'll be able to manage.

[That last bit surprises her though.]

Oh, you can do magic?

[Wasn't he an Earth pony though?]

[catchthatdream]

[Arthur smiled as he showed her the horn that was hidden under all that floofy hair.]

Yea, this thing gets tangled in my hair a lot.

I guess I have to perform it in order to do my talent, according to my mun anyway.

[As he looked down at his Dreamcatcher cutie mark.]

[strengthinkindness]

Oh...!

[She hadn't realized there had been a horn under all that.]

That's really neat though. So your talent has to do with dreams?

[catchthatdream]

[Gives a smile.]

Yea, just like how I used to be able to, I'll be able to get rid of nightmares by entering into the dreamscape.

I'll be able to help others again!

A-Although Fluttershy... Um... There is one other thing.

[He started to look down, rather unsure expression as he shuffled his hoof.]

[strengthinkindness]

Oh wow...! That's wonderful.

[She blinks, her smile fading at his tone.]

What is it...?

[catchthatdream]

[Arthur glanced up at her, lifting up his hoof as he showed his emerald amulet.]

... I'm still a giant.

[strengthinkindness]

[She blinks.] ...Oh.

[She'd never quite seen giant ponies before.]

Um...M-Maybe it won't be so bad...?
