The Front Lawn of the Dorms; Saturday Morning [ 05/19 ].

"Oh, boy!"

When Butters woke up as a pony again, as he had that one time last summer, he was ecstatic, and he couldn't comprehend why anyone would be anything else. From the moment he stumbled out of bed, tripping on his own hooves, he knew exactly what he wanted to do and he wasted no time prancing out of the doors and onto the yard, where his boundless energy and excitement seemed to be on full display.

Butters was pretending he was a champion race horse, running back and forth. He nearly crouched down on one end of the lawn, wiggling his butt in the air before he call out, "And they're off!" and he barreled forward with loping steps, breathlessly narrating the excitement of the race until he reached the end and cried out, "And he's done it! The clear and unsurprising winner is none other than Butters Stotch, that fine stallion! Well, we know he'll be breeding with the finest filly in the stable tonight! Give us a victory lap, Butters!"

And so he did, mimicking the sounds of the cheering crowd as he pranced about until the next race.

Butters still glared at her skeptically but, trusting as always, he gave a nod. "Okay," he said, turning around and twitching his short little tail, "we can race. The race goes from this side of the lawn where the picnic table is, all the way to the big tree on the other side. Got it?"

"Got it!" Wing-flutter. Fold back wings. Try to keep them down. "Reaaaady... setttt... GO!" And ruuuuun!

"H-Hey!" Butters felt that he didn't have nearly enough time to get ready, but he knew he couldn't waste time complaining. He ducked his head down, pumped his legs as fast he could, and charged after Kenzi, hoping to catch up with her and then beat the pony pants out of her.

And the pony bracelets? And the pony shoes?

Kenzi was smaller, but she was faaast, and she wasn't beating Butters, but she did have that head-start... Faster faster faster!

And while Butters was pretty ungainly as a pony, he was also very good at running from things, since he had to run from things a lot. Plus, he was pretty determined, especially when it came to making sure someone like Kenzi didn't beat him, so he put down his head a little more and ran as hard as he could. He ran like the dickens. He ran like Satan himself was running behind him, with that big pitchforky thing, waving it around and threatening to poke Butters in the behind with it.

Kenzi tried to cheat at the last. But it was a little too late to get across to the finish line in time.

"...maaaaaan." POUT.

"I won!" Butters realized when he reached the tree before Kenzi. "I won! I won! I won!"

And there was much rejoicing and prancing around and laughing to be had.

And there was much pbbtttt'ing over that.

"I'mma tell all the girl ponies that you said you're allowed to mount them now."

[geewhizfellas.livejournal.com]

And that stopped Butters right in his pouncing tracks.

"Only if they're pretty," he reminded her.

[regretiz4suckas.livejournal.com]

Heh. Heh. Heh.

"I'll tell them they don't have to worry if they're ugly. Anyone in particular I should make sure knows that?"

[geewhizfellas.livejournal.com]

Butters' eyes went wide.

"No," he said, very emphatically.

[regretiz4suckas.livejournal.com]

"So I'll tell them they're all pretty, or you think they're all pretty, and so you'll be getting around to them eventually. Right?"

[geewhizfellas.livejournal.com]

Butters thought about that, and he nodded.

"Right. Because they are all pretty."

Beat.

"Except you."

"And I'm adorable!" Wing-flutter! "Also I don't want to be mounted. But don't worry! I'll get right on that!"
