Whoosh-Royal Gardens
By: Moonlight Mist Date: September 26, 2017, 11:19 pm
---------------------------------------------------------
A wave of relief swept over Moonlight once Schwam opted for
getting some air. There were way too many ponies in the Dining
Hall. The couple made their way to the Royal Gardens,
Moonlight's eyes widened once the two stepped hoof out there.
"Whoa!" She's never seen anything like this before, the gardens
definitely lived up to the 'royal' part. All the plants were
beautifully bloomed and the smell was divine. The gardens had
cute and bright string lights surrounding them, making the area
look even more romantic.
Moonlight stared up at the sky as she usually did, the stars
twinkled brightly and of course the moon was full. "So..." She
smiles bashfully at Schwam and stands closer to him, "It's nice
and quiet." Thankfully their plan to get away from the crowd
worked, most of them were inside and only a few ponies and
stationed guards were around. Moonlight could actually focus
now, especially on the handsome stallion in front of her
annnnnd...
After slightly narrowing her eyes she (once again) brings out
her hoof to fiddle with Schwam's necktie, What is it with this
thing? It's always just... wrong.
Is it slanted? No. Maybe he'll look better without it...
"...sorry." Her horn lights up as she uses her magic to take off
the annoying piece of fabric, then placing it in his pocket.
Afterwards she smiled almost proudly, "Better."

"'Whoah' is right," Schwambart agrees with Moonlight's
assessment. He's back in a more relaxed mood, more than he was
expecting after meeting Nivalia again. He chalks it up to the
lovely mare at his side who bafflingly decides to stay there for
the time being.
He smiles sheepishly as she fusses with his tie, and has to
fight to keep himself from breathing a sigh of relief when she
takes it off...though he kind of wishes she'd left it on for
more fussing. And taking it off undid, like, half an hour of
hard work in under three seconds. "N-no need to apologize, Moon.
I'm not really, uh...a tie pony myself." He drapes his wing over
her and leans in to give her a light peck on the cheek. "L-let's
walk."
Schwam leads a short walk around the gardens, though he's more
focusing on her against him than on the plants. His glasses are
fogging up anyway over his red cheeks. "Yeah, these gardens
are...they're something else alright. I've, um, only ever seen
them from far away. From above. Far above."

Moonlight admired the flowers and various plants throughout
their walk in the gardens. Why was it that even when she tries
to distract herself she just still ends up thinking about him?
Well he was right next to her, yes. He was also the subject of
her thoughts way more often than she'd ever admit.
She snaps out of that thought real fast once he finishes
talking, Flying... A small smile spread across her face, she's
always wanted to fly and she knew Schwam was really good at it.
Aren't all pegasi good at it though? Would he... show her if she
asked?
They reach another area of the gardens, this one more private
than the last. Benches and some small statues surrounded them
along with the plants. No pony was here, though it makes sense
as they have been walking for a few minutes now. "Hey..."
Moonlight stops and looks up at the sky, the moonlight lit the
area up more than the actual lamp posts. A slight blush covers
her face, she was a little nervous to ask such a silly question.
"C-could you show me? What it's like to fly? Just a little bit?"
Her head tilts a bit before a nervous but hopeful expression
shows up across her soft features.

Schwam's face heats up more, intensifying the fogging of his
glasses. She'd apparently followed his line of thinking herself,
arriving at about the same spot, except he was supposed to ask
her. Would you have, though, or would you have just thought
about it and blushed so hard your head would have inflated and
carried you into the stratosphere with all the heat in it? These
questions from his mind were starting to get quite convoluted
and strange. He should stop that. You can't stop you and you
know it!
"I, uh, um, *ahem*, well, if you...I-I mean..." Schwam fumbles
around to find his mouth (figuratively) and ends up spinning in
place for a bit. What should he say? Well, not what, but how
should he say it? "Ffffffblblbl- s-sorry, uh- Yes! Yes, I'd love
to! I mean, um...if you..." He turns away from her and takes a
deep breath. Does he need to say more? Probably. Will he? He
probably wouldn't survive the attempt.
So he just sits down for him to climb onto his back. "H-h-hop
on...not literally..."

He actually agreeed! Moonlight looked down at herself for a
moment, she was wearing her gown though she didn't want that to
stop her. "Thank you..."
It was taking a lot within her not to squeal with sheer joy,
instead Moonlight stayed silent and wrapped her forehooves ever
so gently around him. She knew not to get in the way of his
wings and thankfully her dress wasn't too poofy as to do the
same.
"Ready?" Moonlight prepared herself and hugged Schwam slightly
tighter, though not enough to be uncomfortable for him. Just
enough to hold on.

Schwambart finds his legs wobbling as Moonlight climbs on his
back, and not because she's too heavy for him or anything. He's
plenty strong enough for it. But THERE'S A MARE ON HIS BACK.
WITH HER HOOVES WRAPPED AROUND HIM. AND HE LIKES HER. AND SHE
LIKES HIM.
He slowly stands from his sitting position, wishing (in a kind
of nonsensical way) that she wasn't on his back feeling just how
wobbly and unsteady his legs are from holding her. But then he
wouldn't be about to take her flying, and that wouldn't be worth
the trade. He squeaks out agreement that yes he's ready (he's
not) and flares his wings, preparing for takeoff. "H-hang on!"
he says, and flaps, taking off into the sky.
...or...not. He doesn't get off the ground. "Or, um, uh, sorry,
I..." He flaps again. Still nothing. He sweats nervously. You're
failing. You're embarrassing yourself and her! Perfect. And then
his jelly legs give out under him, and he reflexively flaps,
real good flaps this time, and all of a sudden they're airborne.

Are his legs wobbly? Am I too heavy? Moonlight shifted only
slightly to see if she could put less weight on him. Though
being this close to him... he smelled really nice.
Once Schwam declares he was gonna take off she braced herself
only to...not really feel any wind...
Moonlight peeks over his shoulder and giggles a bit, "It's okay,
take your t- Whoa!" She obviously wasn't expecting him to take
off at that moment, but once they were up in the air her mind
went back on track. She was actually off the ground! (Well with
the help of Schwam) And it felt so amazing! It's not like they
were that high, thankfully... but it was nice to have the breeze
through her mane.
"This is kind of everything I'd hoped it would be!" Moonlight
snuggled her cheek onto Schwam and gently rubbed at his upper
forelegs. "Thank you so much..."

The wobbles calm down once they're in the air, though mostly
because his legs aren't what are holding him up anymore. It's a
good thing, too.
He flies them on a short tour around the garden, not too long
because he doesn't know how long he can keep them up, really.
He'd be surprised if she can't hear or feel the way his heart is
pounding, making him dizzy. "Uh-uh-huh!" he replies
intelligently, bringing his forehooves up to grasp hers over his
shoulders.
Oh the hubris. That's the beginning of the end for them. His
flying gets more erratic, with more falling between wingbeats
and more rising when he does flap. He needs to set down. He does
his best and does manage to lower himself to the ground,
touching it gently with his hind hooves.
Twofold were his mistakes, and he realizes them too late. First
off, his legs were jelly. An optimal landing was not going to
happen in any case. Second, he forgot to let go of Moonlight's
hooves with his front ones, leaving them unable to wobblingly
take the slack that they normally would have. The overall result
is that he tips forward and faceplants (which tosses his glasses
off), rear starting up in the air before his hind legs give out
and that falls down as well. At least it happened in such a way
that Moonlight was, overall, gently let down, with no real
jostling.

She was enjoying the flight while it lasted, but slowly started
to become aware of Schwam's erm... slightly erratic flying.
It probably wasn't the best idea to ask him for a flight, or
maybe she shouldn't have distracted him. Either way once Schwam
plops down ungracefully she quickly hops off of him and picks up
his glasses. Moonlight immediately places them back on his face
with a concerned look, at least he could see her now.
"Schwimmy..." Her brow furrowed even more as she helped him back
up onto his hooves, "Was that too much? I-I'm sorry if I was too
heavy...or if distracted you..." Moonlight sighed and took a
deep breath, "Are you okay?"

"Mmm fine, Moon" Schwambart replies, wiping some grass and dirt
off of his muzzle. "But no, um, no, it wasn't you, it..." Don't
blame her. Make sure she doesn't think it's her fault. It's your
fault. "This- this suit, it, it's not really made for, um,
flying." Not even a lie, really. It's designed to be worn
decoration, and just because it has holes for his wings doesn't
mean that it isn't at least a little restrictive.
"But you know," he says, changing the subject, "landing
face-first into that delicious grass made me realize how hungry
I am. You wanna go grab a bite to eat? Or, you know. More than a
bite. At least, like, three."
