Hey! Luceti!

[See: one rainbow pegasus wearing a pair of aviator goggles and standing... well, given the white fluffy stuff around her, it can only be assumed she's on a cloud somewhere. But given the trees behind her, it can't be too high above the ground.

Anyway...]

I know this place is full of fighters and all, but are there any athletes hanging around? I'm talking people who're into stuff like sports. Racing. Excitement. Not to mention competition.

See, it's fine keeping myself busy with some solo challenges, and there's no way I'm gonna stop working on my stunts, but I figure it'd be good to have some more variety. Plus, there could be some kind of super cool sport we don't even have in Equestria.

...Which means you should totally tell me if there is. Stuff like soccer, tennis, and hang gliding? I've already tried all of the above. I want something a bit more exciting than that.

[Hm, is there something she's forgoten? Oh, right.]

And if you see a purple pony with wings and a horn hanging around, that's Twilight. Try not to stare too hard if you see her; it gets old fast, and she's still adjusting.

As for me, I'm off to work on a few more tricks. Later!

Yeah, and engineering's really not my strong point. Using gliders? No problem, just don't expect me to throw one together.

Air baseball does sound pretty sweet! But what'd we use for bases? Trees?

[Still, she can't help but agree with his sentiment.]

And believe me, everything's cooler in the air. You have way more freedom to move when you're flying.

No, it's fine. I can handle this.

[No he can't. If this was a training scenario he would have been done minutes ago. Why does volleyball have to be so hard?!

Maybe if he presses that option, and then that one, and-- Wait, that one! Yeah! Got it! Now he has... A chamber with a field in it. No volleyball. Drat.]

I'm used to choosing the options that let you fight monsters in different places.

You could ask. I'm sure they could find instruments if they don't already have them, too.

Yeah, you've gotta point! It's still kinda athletic, yeah. I can't really think of any other exciting sports though, so sorry 'bout that.

I bet if you asked around, you could find someone who could do it. I mean, there are people here who can build all kinds of things, so someone's gotta know how to make a hang glider, right?

I seem to recall you saying something similar at the Running of the Leaves.

Yep. Got a trophy back home an' everything!

Ooh, but flying sounds pretty neat. I mean, we all got the weird wings but not a lotta us can fly!

Yeah, well, that was one lucky shot. Flying's way more complicated than a hoof race!

Hey, it's cool. Not everyone's into that sorta thing, but I figured it was worth a shot.

Gotta find some way to keep myself busy.

See, the key is to just mess around until you make something that works. I do it all the time!

[Usually with really bizarre results, but hey.]

Yeah, the item shop's probably got a whole stash lying around. That place has everything.

True! I know I heard about somebody building a boat once, and that's gotta be at least ten times more complicated than one measly hang glider.

Yeah, I'd say there's only a handful of us who can actually do it here. But me? I've got more than just flight on my side. Speed and skill are my real accomplishments.

Not everypony can handle doing nonstop flips and spins for hours on end.

It does seem that way. I hope I haven't taken someone else's belongings by mistake sometime, though.

[She supposes if it were ever a question of something important, the person would ask for it over the journal. If she somehow had the item in question, of course she'd return it then. So she's not really too worried; but she does consider it a likely scenario with everyone's belongings arriving.]

Oh, really? [ She quirks an eyebrow and spreads her wings. ] Let's see if you're right. I'll bet I can do at least a few of the things you can do.

[ She'll turn the video off and take off for the air. Dash can find her circling the square, warming up her wings with a few laps. ]

Oh yeah, I remember when they built the boat! I can't remember who actually made it, though. Was it Jack Sparrow? Something tells me he wouldn't know the first thing about building a hang glider...

We'll just have to see, won't we? [There's always a rush that comes with the banter before a competition, and he can feel himself raring to go out and she what she can really do. Human or not.]

Name a time and place.

[He doesn't sound so sure about that idea, but hey, he came to play volleyball and not spend all his time poking at a console.]

Okay then, let's try this. [A quick bit of flipping through options and picking whatever and he's done.] There, that'll do!

[Whether he's actually set up a volleyball court remains a mystery until they head inside the chamber. How badly can one person mess up a simulated field anyway?]

[Well, it won't be too long before a rainbow streak zips through the sky. Better watch out, Twilight, because Dash is swooping down in 3... 2... 1...

Now!]

[Who knows? Either way, Dash will follow his lead, curious and maybe a touch skeptical about what lies within...

So, how bad is it?]

I'm up for it any time. As for location... I'd say either by the woods or maybe the battle dome. I figure the plaza's not the best spot since it's pretty busy most of the time.

He's that pirate guy, right? 'Cause if he is... yeah, he doesn't seem like the kinda guy who'd build something stable.

Yeah, that's the one downside to the shops... But wouldn't somebody complain over the journals if that happened? Especially if it's something important.

I've thought the same; so I haven't worried about it just yet.

Even if part of me is surprised how well this system has worked here. I think most people in my world would say it could never be done.
