(As inspiried by Jewel's lovely artwork of Peri's poor scooter driving habits, it couldn't be resisted to do a 'scooter' post.)
Jump: Spring Time: 11-noonish, late morning.
The white stallion stopped as he finally managed to push the large scooter into the clearing. The spot he'd found was fairly wide, a nice little field enclosed by trees, but not scattered with them. It allowed the safest area Peri Winkle could fathom to practice on such a death trap. At least, that's what his mother called them.
Writers recently decided that his sex changing character via soap opera was going to pick up the hobby of riding scooters. Of course, to help develop this new aspect to his character, Peri had to experience the scooter first hand, develop a love for it. Stage crew had two scooters, one sent home with him to practice on. "As if learning a hundred pages of scripts every two days wasn't enough they had to give me this....oh well, it's what I paid for..."
Hesitantly he got into the seat of his new scooter. He smiled as he saw the cute feminine tinsel hanging from the handles. "I sure hope my insurance covers this..."

A golden pegasus trotted up to the actor, holding a helmet by the strap in her mouth. Her coat seemed to glow in the sunlight, purple eyes dancing with excitement. She was rejuvinated since the battle, and happy to be outdoors, especially with Peri.
"Here," She said, handing him the helmet, "I don't want this thing to kick your butt TOO badly," She grinned, and half-reared simply out of amusement.

"Yuck it up Jewel, maybe I'll crash purposely. Then, unknowingly you'll pull me into your lap, and smoother me with attention! Ah, t'would be fun. Maybe I will." He chuckled, taking the helmet with a charming grin. He, after some inspection, placed the helmet atop his head and looked about himself.
Driving was somewhat a hassle all ready, some of his depth was impaired due to his one eye. He wondered how different driving in a car would be to a scooter. Guess he'd see. Doing one last check to make sure his glass eye, Peri revved up the engine. "So...wanna give this dare devil a good bye kiss so that I have one if by some unholy twist of fate that this thing blows up on me?"

"Yuck it up Jewel, maybe I'll crash purposely. Then, unknowingly you'll pull me into your lap, and smoother me with attention! Ah, t'would be fun. Maybe I will."
The pegasus smirked and raised an eyebrow at her beau. She then snorted, and stifled a small laugh. "You know, singers know a thing or two about acting," She grinned, "But maybe if you're a good boy, you'll get that attention anyway."
"So...wanna give this dare devil a good bye kiss so that I have one if by some unholy twist of fate that this thing blows up on me?"
"Oh, Peri!" Jewel laughed at his dramaticism, shaking her mane and scattering small pieces of brown and purple mane. "You're going to be fine," She gave him a quick kiss and backed away from the scooter, watching eagerly. From a distance, she yelled, "Go slow first!"

Peri gulped, "Right..." His hoof cautiously made it's way to turn on it's ignition, then realized it was all ready on. Desperately fighting the blush of embarassmenet aside, Peri slowly put his foot on the gass peddle. Slowly, the scooter inched forward. With relief on his face, Peri released a sigh he was holding.
Then suddenly the scooter lurched forward. Peri squealed, a characteristic that had helped him gain the feminine role he at work, and he slammed a hoof on the brake. His mother was right. These were death traps.

Jewel, from a distance, began laughing, but hoped the scooter drowned it out before it got to Peri. She didn't want to hurt his feelings, or his ego, but the situation did present itself as humorous. Simply hearing him squeal made her day.
"I said SLOW, Evil Kinevil!" The pegasus called, trotting forward a few steps. Inwardly she did worry for his safety, and hoped to Rainbows he wouldn't crash that scooter.

Peri Winkle, although he knew better than anyone that snorting and glaring at inanimate objects didn't make them do what you wanted, did just that. His eyes narrowed, and he gave a snort worthy of most foals.
Sometimes acting childish could make any stallion feel better, as a smile began to pull on his lips. "Evil Kinevil, eh? Hmmm..." Why not give Jewel a run for her money? He WAS wearing a helmet, after all!
Without warning, Peri floored it, squealling madly with absolute fear and almost rolar coaster status adrenaline.

Jewel's laughter quickly turned to silence as Peri sped off. She was left standing there in the dust, mouth agape and eyes wide. After a few seconds, the pegasus shook her head and regained a grin on her face. A few strides forward, she lifted into the air and chased him.
Flying, she easily caught up to him. With a smirking expression, she glided next to him as he careened through the field, sighing as if she were either bored or extremely relaxed. She swooped up and aside his other side.
"So, having fun yet?" She grinned, mane blowing back in the wind.

Peri Winkle's mouth was wide with laughter. "This is the definition of fun!!," he shouted back to make sure he was heard over the engine of the scooter (are those loud?). Just as soon as he'd finished, the sccoter lurched into a small groove, launched up for a moment, and landed hard before speeding onward. The actor released a loud whoop in the process.
"You know, Jewel!," he went on, "If I didn't have half a brain, I'd be tempted to reinact the 'I'm king of the world' on this thing!"

The pegasus laughed as she glided along next to him. It brought forth some kind of joy in her heart to see him so happy and having so much fun. Not that she wasn't having a great time herself!
"You know, Jewel!," he went on, "If I didn't have half a brain, I'd be tempted to reinact the 'I'm king of the world' on this thing!"
"I THOUGHT you only had half a brain," She grinned sarcastically, flying out of his reach with a chuckle. The pegasus then pulled up, climbing higher into the sky. Here she floated on a breeze, watching Peri Winkle with amusement.

Peri Winkle merely grinned. "For you Jewel, I could have a tenth of a brain if you bid it."
As Jewel began to pull out of his close proximity, Peri fell back upon the idea of actually trying to manuever the contraption he rode upon. He tilted the handles, causing the bike to turn around in a long arc, leaving Jewel a good view in his sights. With a look that seemed of determination, Peri began to bid the scooter to follow Jewel in an odd game of tag. With luck, she'd fly low enough for him to grab her tail, gently of course.

Jewel watched as Peri seemed to follow the bird-like shadow she left on the ground. Seeing that he wasn't in danger of hitting any trees or other obstructions, she dove down like a hawk, pulling up just in time to brush the actor's ears with her muzzle before ascending once again.
She attributed much of her flying expertise to watching a pony named Firefly in Dream Valley for a time. The pegasus had carefully studied the other with her eyes, practicing until she could do maybe half the amazing stunts the famous air acrobat could.
From up in the air, Jewel sung out in a melody-like fashion, "Peri can't catch meee! Oh no-o-o!"

"Hark! An angel has left sweet nothings in my ear!" Peri couldn't resist it. It was the most fun he'd probably had in a while. Certainly his mother would have a heart attack if she saw what he was doing. Well...she'd probably see it on daytime sooner or later anyway, now that he thought of it.
The actor's grin never left his face as he continued his attempts to chase down the golden mare. The scooter really couldn't go any faster than what it was, and on occaision Peri would slow down at least on turns. Despite his efforts, Jewel had an advantage over him. Trying his luck, Peri stood with one hand on the handle, and the other reaching out towards her...

Not expecting the actor to take such a chance, Jewel had hovered in almost directly above him, though off a little to the side. Her great wings flapped up and down in the low altitude, not having much of a breeze to stay adrift on. Little to her knowledge, the brown and purple flowing hair that was her tail was brushing against Peri's outstretched hoof.
Jewel laughed jovially and closed her eyes for a second before opening her mouth to sing another tease to the actor.

Peri's grin turned to one of a successful smile. Seeing the difference of effort used to stay airborn, Peri was a little uncertain whether giving a soft yank would somehow cause Jewel an unintentional crash of her own. Never wanting to see the other harmed, Rainbow not since she died, Peri wasn't even slightly reluctant in accepting defeat. He lowered his hoof, satisfied with only having felt the hair's carrass it gently in the breeze.
"You want to give this hting a whirl?"
