Streets of Fandom, Saturday afternoon

Pinkie's tail was twitching. And her shoulder was aching and her ears were fluttering. She had no idea what this was a portent of, and was so busy watching the skies that she had yet to notice there was anything strange about being surrounded by other ponies.

Look, that was how she'd spent most of her life to date. One had to expect it to take a little bit to sink in.

"Twitch, ache, flutter," she muttered as she moved cautiously down the street, peering past the edge of her umbrella hat. "Twitchatwitchy achey flutterness. What does that mean?"

She blamed the whole "it's random chaos!" weather system.

[ooc: open! Though it will go SP in about half an hour, as I go to buy furniture.]

"I have a tattoo of a wallet on my ass!"

Yeah, hi to you too, Kenzi.

She bounced around like she was on speed. Same as usual. "This is so cool!"

"Oh!" said Pinkie. "Did you just get your cutie mark? How exciting!"

"Is that what it is?" Kenzi lifted one wing to try and nose at her side, shaking her head. "Wait, right, you mentioned this. I'm a pony like you? How the heck does that happen?"

Pinkie blinked at her. "No, you're a pegasus. I'm an Earth pony, see? No wings." Wait. "You mean you're not usually a pony?"

"Nuh-unh!" Kenzi trotted around in a little circle, flapping her wings happily. "I'm Kenzi and usually I'm a girl and I'm in your class and this is weird I don't know how it happened!"

But still. AMAZING.

"Oh!" Pinkie had absolutely no idea what had happened, though she was likely to go with 'THE WHOLE ISLAND HAS BEEN MADE 20% MORE AWESOME.' "Well, you make a very pretty pony!"

Kenzi wouldn't even argue that! "You think the aqua's a good color on me?" Kenzi held up one foreleg to look at it. "I just woke up like this. Flew out the window!"

Fell. Details. She maintained a glide!

"What's it like? I've always wanted to try flying with my own wings! Twilight Sparkle knows a spell but it takes a lot out of her and then Rarity was all 'I AM THE PRETTIEST PONY OF THEM ALL' when she had them and forgot all about helping Rainbow Dash get her confidence up and then she flew too close to the sun and her wings burned up and she would have died if Rainbow Dash hadn't managed to do her sonic rainboom to catch her!"

Holy crap that was a lot of words. And Kenzi prided herself on the verbal blurting when she had to. She got a food off the ground, before her gleeful flailing brought her right back down. "Those are friends of yours? Wait, what, burning up? Noes!" RIGHT staying on the ground, OKAY.

"Magic wings are very delicate," Pinkie told her. "Normal pony wings are much stronger!"

"Okay! WHEW." Kenzi took a breath and then bounced, fluttering, and circled Pinkie, boing boing boing boing! "How do you do things without fingers, dude? I didn't even think to ask before, you know?"

"Well, some ponies use unicorn magic. Mostly, we just use our mouths or hooves."

"Unicorn magic?" Awww. She wasn't one. But she was a flying pegasus, which was still pretty cool. Kenzi looked down at her front hooves, and held one up. "I have no idea how my bracelets manage to fit my leg here. THat's magic, right? HA!"

"Well, you also got turned into a pony, so I'm thinking there's probably lots of magic."

"True!" Kenzi is so thrilled with this, she does a backwards somersault. Then stares. "HOW DID I DO THAT? DUDE!" and does it again, only landing on her cutie-mark this time.

"Wee!" Pinkie agreed, bouncing up into a backflip -- without nearly so much air as Kenzi was getting. "Today is fun!"

Kenzi's wings flapped frantically as she giggled. "Dude, and I was feeling jealous of the people with super-powers. This is *awesome*." She bounced back up, pointing one hoof upward. "TO THE SKY!"

Oh, this could not end well.

"Wee!" said Pinkie again.

Then her tail twitched. Hard. And not followed by either a shoulder ache or an ear flutter.

"Oh, wait!"

Kenzi was three inches off the ground. And then grounded, looking quizzical. "What?" After all. Pinkie had been a pony a lot longer.

"My tail's twitching!" Pinkie said, sounding horrified.

"Gesundheit?" Kenzi offered, still confused, and then swishing her own tail. "Like this?"

"Nononono," Pinkie protested. She bent forward to show how her tail was somehow, like, spasming into intermittent friz.

How it managed this when it was made of hair, the world will never know.

"It's my Pinkie sense!"

....

"There's another Pinkie around?!" Holy babbling sugar-fueled ponies!

"There is?!" Pinke spun in a circle. "Woah, how weird is THAT?"

"No no no, well, maybe?" Kenzi twirled too, but no. "I thought you were sensing another Pinkie! If that's not what your Pinkie sense is, what is it?"

"I'm Pinkie and I'm sensing, so it's my Pinkie sense! Whenever my tail twitches, it means something's going to fall."

Kenzi's head jerked up immediately, looking for pianos or Pinkies or pudding. "So I should wait to jump off the roof 'til after?"

"Probably a good idea. Just don't wait so long that you end up losing your wings!"

Kenzi was hovering hopefully about half a foot off the ground now, scanning the sky with impatience. "Fall, stupid thing. FALL! I have flying to do!"

"It's too bad you can't meet Rainbow Dash," Pinkie decided. "You two would get along great!"

Or rip each other to shreds.

"She's that friend of yours who saved... somebody with something?" Kenzi hazarded. Look, that part of the conversation had been on-speed, and besides, she had a very short attention span. Although she was getting better at this helicoptering thing. "WHEEE!"

"Sonic rainboom! It's when a pony goes so fast they break the sound barrier AND cause a rainbow at the same time! Sonic rainboom! Rainbow Dash is the only pony to ever do it!"

Hmm.

Hmm hmm hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!

"Do you think I could do it?" Watch those wings flutter! "Think I could do magic colors and break the sound barrier??"

Look, today she was a pony. THERE WERE NO LIMITS!

vrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

"I dunno. You have to fly really really really really really really fast."

That had Kenzi circling Pinkie like a bumblebee, making 'vroooooom' noises to go with her wings, and asking, "Now? Now? Am I fast enough NOW?"

"Nope!" Pinkie said, every single time Kenzi said "now?" "Nope! Nope! Oh not even close!"

...until a very, very exhausted blue pegasus collapsed onto the ground, huffing.

"Gimme a... .minute. Gonna try.... again! Swear!" WHEW.

Pinkie looked at her tail. "Oh! That might have counted!"

Shunsui had no problem finding a way to enjoy his sake even as a pony, and then he figured it might be nice to go have a nice nap in the park as a pony, too, but then he easily got distracted by another pink pony, and this one was decidedly female and that warrented some attention.

"Well, hello, there, pretty little filly ♥." Somehow, he even managed to tilt his hat a little, too.

"Hi!" Pinkie loved to meet new friends. "Ooo, you have a hat just like one of the people in the hat class at the community center!"

"I do ♥!" Shunsui agreed happily with a chuckle. "In fact, it's exactly like one of those hats, because I'm in that class ♥. You're in there, too, Pretty Pony-chan ♥?"

Of course Shunsui hadn't noticed her there during the class, because, unless he was a pony himself, he tried to ignore the pony, just like he tried to ignore the other men. Man. Whatever Deadpool-san was.

"Yep! It sounded like loads of fun, and I love wearing hats, and I just knew my friend Rarity would be all over it if she were here and this way I can report back to her afterwards and it can be like she is here!"

See, Shunsui knew that class would be good for picking up chicks! He chuckled a little at her enthusiasm, trying to place which among his classmates were likely her. "Rarity ♥. What a lovely name ♥. And speaking of names, mine is Shunsui Kyōraku ♥." He even enacted a little pony bow, still keeping his hat in place. "You'll have to help me remember yours, but I promise you, after that, I shall be certain not to forget it again, my dear ♥."

"I'm Pinkie Pie. I'm teaching how to throw parties!"

"Pinkie Pie ♥," said Shunsui. "How delightful ♥! And I love parties ♥. Especially parties with sake ♥."

"I've never tried sake! Is it tasty? I like parties with cake."

"Cake is good," Shunsui allowed, "but sake is better ♥. Here ♥."

Because, of course, Shunsui still had a little bottle of sake on a sort of belt at his hip. It took a little maneuvering, but, eventually, he tilted off his hat so that it was upside down on the ground, perfect for him to pour some sake into after popping the cork and pouring a bit in. He nodded his head toward the makeshift bowl. "Be my guest ♥."

"Wow, thanks!" Pinkie was never one to turn down food or drink of any kind. She leaned down, took a long drink, then coughed.

"Tastes like rainbows," she gasped.
