I've finally finished the next page, but in case you don't care about that, I've found these really cool pony icons.
I took the liberty of cropping each one (sans shadow) and putting them in
this album, in case anyone wants to use them.
But enough frivolity, time for the mane event!

Last time, we decided to try out a trick at Vermillion Lake, using our newfound sliding hooves! Let's see how that turns out.

"-it was really weird because when I woke up my back was itchy, but the dark cloud seemed really unlucky! Unless you're a flower, because a dark cloud means rain. Or a tree! But I'm a pony not a tree, although I do like rain sometimes and-" you politely jam your hoof into Pinkie's mouth to get her attention.
"Pinkie Pie," you ask, not removing your hoof, "how do you feel about helping me with a trick?"
She responds with an emphatic nod.
"Alright, then meet me at Vermillion lake and bring the following supplies..."

A half hour later, you regroup with Pinkie Pie at the lake's shore.
"I got everything you asked for Rainbow Dash, but I'm kinda confused. Why do you need an umbrella? Or paintbrushes? Or rope?" Pinkie inquires.
You finally explain the trick, "Pinkie Pie, this trick is really going to leave my mark on Equestria! First, I'll start on the hill north of the lake, wearing the umbrella tied on my back. Then I'll coast down the hill building speed from my wings and gravity combined. The moment I reach Vermillion Lake, I'll open the umbrella and continue forward. The domed shape will allow me to split the waters. Then, it'll get really awesome! But enough talk, it's time for action!"
You set up as explained, but you also tie the paint brushes to your rear ankles, dipping each one in rainbow paint. Pinkie gives you a countdown, and you take off, racing down the hill. As you enter the lake you enter the umbrella as planned and the lake waters part in two waves. You speed towards the centre of the lake, and as you near you lower your rear hooves, leaving a rainbow trail on the lake bed. You finish the line, close the umbrella and turn on a dime to complete the move. As you rush back between the closing waves you begin moving in a seemingly erratic pattern, grinding your front hooves. Suddenly you make a beeline for where you entered the lake and exit just before the waves crash together.
"Rainbow Dash that was amazing!" Pinkie cheers, "I don't know if I've ever seen you move that fast, and on the ground to boot!"
"You haven't seen the best part!" you boast, grabbing your spectator and flying her above the lake, "Take a look at that! I told you I'd leave my mark"
To your surprise, Pinkie bursts out laughing! "I think you might need to take another look at your 'mark' Dashie!"
You look down to realize you've made a huge mistake. Clearly written in rainbow ink at the bottom of the lake you see your name, spelt backwards!
hsaD wobniaR! How could you mess that up!?
Your trick was awesome, but you've made a crucial misstep! No one will idolize someone who can't spell! The End
Author's note:That was not a preplanned failure, every time I write a page I roll a d6 and results greater than 5 end in a mishap (another idea stolen from the something awful forums). Looks like we'll have to go back and try Lunar Canyon, which I'm psyched about because I think I thought up pretty good ideas for both tricks.
