I'd like to enter!
Lambicorn name: Ryder
Gender: Male
Prompt: Ryder crept through the thicket, tip toeing as he went to remain silent. He paused with bated breath as his back hoof snapped a twig, his body humming with adrenaline and nervous energy. After ensuring no one had heard his misstep, Ryder returned to his sneaky escapade.
Minutes passed that felt like hours to little Ryder as he wormed his way through the thick forest roots, branches, and hanging vines. Each movement felt like a trap that would take him under, but he had pursued and finally made it to his destination. An adorable smile lit up his tiny face as he pranced forward, his wings tucked neatly to his side.
"Hey there, Squirt."
Ryder squeaked and whipped around at the voice before relaxing at seeing who the voice belonged to. "Naaalaaaaaaa. You shouldn't sneak up on me. We talked about thiiiiiis," he whined. Gently dropping his skateboard to the ground next to him.
Nala only smiled, completely unrepentant of her 'egregious' crime. "You know I'm only messin, Squirt." She trotted up alongside him as Ryder mounted the board, both of them moving at a leisurely pace towards the halfpipe Nala had set up just hours before Ryder's arrival.
Ryder rolled his eyes with a playful huff, "I told you not to call me that," he complained. "It's embarrassing."
"About as embarrassing as sneaking all the way out into the woods just so you don't have to tell your friends that you ride a skateboard? You mean that level of embarrassing?" Nala's tone was both mocking and teasing as she took her seat at the side of the half pipe, really only here to supervise and critique.
_________
You might be wondering why Nala? Clearly Ryder and Nala have an odd relationship, so why did he tell her of all people? Well, it's pretty simple, really. She won't tell. Ryder is convinced that people would make fun of him for enjoying something so..mundane while he had wings. I mean, really, he can fly?? Why does he need to ride on wheels? So he has completely convinced himself that everyone will laugh. So he keeps it his and Nala's little secret. But secrets never last. Someone always finds out eventually. . .
(I was gonna add more to this, but that would run really long and I'm out of time. The gist was that a friend found out and thought it was odd, but encouraged him to let his passions show and not be afraid to let people see him do something he enjoys.)
