002 - Second Flower | Action/Visual

[holyfight]

[Greetings, fair Equestrians! Today, for your viewing pleasure, there is a white mare with an orange mane and a rainbow thunderbolt on her butt, looking for all the world like a drowned rat. And there is more water pouring down on her from above, as in nearly a monsoon's worth]

Umm... This is really embarrassing, but... Does anyone know how to make this cloud stop raining on me? I've tried and tried to get it to listen, but nothing I do will make it stop!

[And then it shocks her in the butt with a lightning bolt]

OUCH!

Uh...yeah. A little annoying, but I'm sure he means well.

(She's a little surprised Orihime knows that so accurately.)

[holyfight]

[If she asked, Orihime wouldn't even know how she knows it]

Why? What sorts of things does he do?

[mostloyalpony]

Hmm...things like get in my face to make sure I've got an instinct to attack and everything. I totally do, but who the hay do I need to attack in Ponyville? I've got friends here, so why would I need to attack any of you guys?

[holyfight]

Well, if there's a threat, you'll at least have a good way to attack them, right?

[mostloyalpony]

Hehe, yeah! Going head-on's more my style anyway. Defending and healing...I gotta work on that.

[holyfight]

You can do it if you try!

Although it's funny - I thought our Cutie Marks were supposed to reflect what we were already good at...

[mostloyalpony]

Hehe, yeah...that's what you're taught growing up as a filly, after all.

[holyfight]

Do you usually have to try this hard to be good at it?

[mostloyalpony]

Hmm...not really. (Unless you're one of the Cutie Mark Crusaders.)
