************************************



Sunny: Alright, alright. Just breathe. You're gonna walk over there and show 'em how it's done... n-not that you know how anything is down yet... but you will! And you do, you're gonna be the best guard Equestria's ever seen. Just like Uncle Shining. *phew* Okay let's do–



Overcast: Sunny?



Sunny: *high pitched screaming* C-CASS! You scared me! I-I mean that was just self defense. It's a guard thing. You wouldn't understand.



Overcast: Right *chuckles*



Sunny: Wait, what are you doing here?



Overcast: I was told there was gonna be sparring today for the new guard trainees.



Sunny: S-sparring?



Overcast: Yep. I heard it's gonna get pretty rough. So they needed a sort of nurse or physical trainer to help out. I figured I'd volunteer.



Sunny: Ah, I see. Yes... very smart. Wouldn't want anypony... dying... or... anything..... Can you die from sparring?



Overcast: I mean, you could die from tripping an falling if you're having a bad day soooo... anything's possible if life decides to screw you over.



Sunny: That's encouraging.



Overcast: So you're a trainee, huh? That's cool! I didn't take you for the guard type though.



Sunny: Hmph, well you took wrong. I am one hundred percent beefcake and ready to take on any enemy that comes my way *puffs out chest*



Overcast: First of all, beefcake doesn't necessarily mean strong. Second of all, you're more like a cheesecake. And third of all, I'm pretty sure I saw you squaring up with Tank the other day and ultimately ending up with bruised nose.



Sunny: He's got lightning punches!



Overcast: He's a tortoise, Sunshine.



Sunny: A strong and fast tortoise! And why does me being in the guard concern you anyways? Don't think I can do it?



Overcast: Eeeeeehhhh...



Sunny: Gee thanks...



Overcast: Look, I'm a strong believer in that "anything is possible if you put your mind to it" jazz, and I do think you could be a good guard. I'm just afraid your doing this for all the wrong reasons.



Sunny: What do you mean? I just wanna be a guard!



Overcast: I'm not buying it. Sunshine, you don't have to prove anything to anypony.



Sunny: ... I'm just tired of being called girly and weak. B-but if I do well in the guard, that won't happen anymore



Overcast: But it's not you. And there's nothing wrong with being a girly, y'know. I might be biased but I think it's pretty great *smiles*



Sunny: Hnnn...



Overcast: Just own it, dude. And you're not weak. Maybe not the strongest physically, but you're smart, clever, good at all that magic stuff and you've got a great heart. Strength comes in many shapes and sizes.



Sunny: *nods*



Overcast: And if you wanna get stronger, physically, there are ways to do so other than putting yourself in a situation where you're fighting ponies twice your size who have been training for battle almost all their life *chuckles*



Sunny: Mmhm. Well... I'm still gonna give it a shot!



Overcast: Then I won't stop you. Be safe out there, okay? And if you don't think it's for you, I know a few really good workouts that you could do.



Sunny: Yeah?



Overcast: Mmhm. That's what happens when your mom's a superstar athlete.



Sunny: Well thank you, Cass. I might take you up on that offer.



Overcast: Good. Now get out there, champ! Just come find me on the sidelines if you get hurt, yeah?



Sunny: Right. Thanks *smiles*
