"What's going on?" Shortcake asked her friend, Violet Lapis. Violet looked over from a group of six other unicorns. "Oh, we're playing a new game called Bounce Bounce... with this jumpy-thingy that we borrowed from the princess. It's exciting, almost as cool as Jelly-Pop Shop!"
Shortcake nodded, her pearly light-pink horn sparkling. "Oh, yeah, Lemon-Lime told me that they had a whole lesson on the bouncy thingy, at the apprentice school. Apparently, it's a trampoline... They should've just called it a boing-boing," she explained, giggling at the end.
Violet jumped onto the trampoline. "Boink, boink, boink..." Violet kept making a "boink" sound effect until her jumps were starting to get lower and lower.
Finally, Violet's bounces weren't as high as the starting ones. "Okay, Shortcake, do you want a turn?" she asked, breathing loudly (also, dramatically) and attempting to smile.
"Yeah, sure!" Shortcake answered. "I'll give it a go."
BOUNCE! BOUNCE. Bounce! Bounce... bounce... bounce. "Whee, this is fun!"
RING! RING! "Oh, gotta go," exclaimed a shorter filly who had cute teal eyes.
"Yeah, Mrs. Hoof-Leaf said that it would be really bad to be late to healing-spells class... And she's super nice, and I really would not like to let her down!" squealed a filly with a short magenta-and-silver mane. Three other fillies voiced agreement, and they rushed off towards the Glowshine Filly School.
Shortcake smiled. The four older fillies (who had stayed because they had a free day off that day) nodded. "So," Violet started up, "who's going first for Bounce Bounce THIS time?"
