"You hug my waist, and Ariel you hug Ellie's waist. If eiher of you start to slip you let me know okay?"

"Si, Senora."

Ariel answers "Okay!"

And they get to pick up speed, maybe not as fast as a true trot

but still through the halls!

Trots can be bouncy, but with little-kid resilience, it is more fun than sore! "Wheeeeeeee"

People gaze annd stare. Centaurs are clearly new.. and even those who HEARD of them having SEEN one

Ellie gives a regal little wave as they pass. She's well practiced!

"Ellie, please hold onnto me with both hands while we go at anythinng faster than a slow walk" Fawn warns

"But I can balance!"

"Okay.. I'm slowing down... two hands faster, one hand slower"

And she slows

"Awwww"

"Oh, okay."

"Well, I think.. ah... oh my" the centaur does hit the brakes

"What's wrong?" She peers around Faun's front half.

There's a BUFFALO there.. a Bison snorts

"Itt appears to be a Bison hunny" A blink from Fawn "I thought you just had cats"

"Tonto!" She waves and waves!

Tonto flickers an ear

"Tonto, this is Fawn and she is a centaur!"

"H..hello, Tonto" Fawn says cautiously

"Tonto is a pooka" Ariel explains "If we clsoe our eyes, he can change"

"Oh yes, close your eyes!" She covers her eyes with her hands.

And Fawn does

And there's a jingle

Fawn opens her eyes and says "Oh how sweet"

Ellie peeks.

For when Ellie opens HER eyes, she can see the burly jester holding up a flower for the centauress

"what a sweet young man, thank you, Tonto" she takes it

"Tonto is the jester. He can do magic tricks."

"I am already impressed" Fawn says

"The flower will explode in 20 seconds" Tonto nods

"It's not really going to explode is it, girls?" Fawn asks out of the side of her mouth

"It probably won't."

"Tonto does nice pranks, not mean ones."

then the flower 'explodes' and by explode one means it pops into a shower of more flowers that fall over them all, while the original flower is unhurt

Ellie giggles. "Kaboom!"

"Oh" A laugh escapes the grump "Well, that's charming. Thank you Tonto"

Tonto blushes, gives the girls some hugs while they're on the centaur, and moves on

And Fawn's tour continues

(End scene for now)
