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!

Yes and yes! C'mon, you gotta give us ponies some credit.

[After all, it's not like she's built like a regular horse, as evidenced by the way she reaches up and pulls those aviator goggles down from her eyes. Awfully big eyes, but that aside...]

Lemme tell ya, you never wanna bat against a pegasus. I throw a mean fast ball.

[She definitely seems more coordinated than any horse he's ever seen. Wait, she said she's a pony. Should he think of her as a pony instead? Would it be politically incorrect to call her a horse? Wait, pegasus? So many questions... he decides to just dodge around it.]

[And then she talks about her mean pitching arm and he can't resist.]

Oh? [He grins, looking pretty impressed with himself.] I'm sure I could handle it, if you want to try. [His antagonizing is lighthearted. He enjoys being competitive and none of his friends seem interested in playing catch with him, so this is a dream!]

[wannabolt]

You say that now, but let's see if you can back that up after I'm through with you.

[Heh, heh. Any antagonizing on her end is just as lighthearted, really. She admires that kinda confidence.]

[frequent_flyer]

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.

[wannabolt]

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.

[frequent_flyer]

I know this clearing in the woods over by the battle dome... I go play catch there sometimes if you think you can handle it.

[wannabolt]

Can I handle it? You're talking to Ponyville's top athlete. Games like catch are totally second nature to me now.

[frequent_flyer]

Well, I'll bet you've never been on a team heading for nationals...
