When Dash walked into the store, she was immediately greeted by her host, who was bouncing in excitement. “Yay, you’re here! I’ve been waiting aaall day,” said the jumping pony.
Wow, cheerful one, are you? Nice.
Also, the use of “pony” here is a little weird. If it’s just a nickname for citizens, you should be able to replace it with “Ponyville citizen”, but “said the jumping Ponyville citizen” sounds very out of place given Dash’s and Pinkie’s friendly relationship.
“Sorry if I’m a little late, Pinkie. I was doing my afternoon exercises and lost track of time,” Dash apologized.
Yeah, sure, you totally weren’t considering blowing her off, no sirree.
Pinkie giggled and responded in a gleefully reassuring tone, “Oh that’s
ok, you’re here now. What‘s a few more minutes? I’ve been sooo excited thinking
about all fun stuff we’re gonna do, I haven’t stopped bouncing since I woke up.
I mean, I almost forgot to breathe I’ve been so happy.”
Really cheerful.
It’s… kind of contagious, actually. I don’t even know what they’re doing yet and I’m already a little excited.
Dash gave a slightly uncomfortable laugh. She had
always appreciated Pinkie Pie’s friendly, outgoing way of life, but Pinkie’s
overabundant enthusiasm almost creeped her out. Dash maintained a polite
expression, however. If Pinkie was this worked up, whatever she had planned
must be good.
Dash isn’t quite as sold on it, but at least she recognizes it’s a good sign.
