looks up and sees a figure flying around
Starburst: squints Looks like Prism. But where’s Whirlwind? Hey Prism!
figure continues to fly
Starburst: Prism!
figure flies higher but then descends
Starburst: What’s he doing?
figure continues to fall
Starburst: It looks like….. gah! jumps out of the way and the figure crashes
Hot Head: groans Ooooowww…..
Starburst: Are you okay???
Hot Head: gets up slowly Uh, yeah I think so flaps wings and looks them over Yeah, I’m good!
Starburst: A-are you sure? That was a pretty bad crash. What happened?
Hot Head: Well, I was trying out some new tricks for the Young Fliers Competition coming up in a month but I guess my wing decided to stop working while I was flying.
Starburst: Why would your wing give out?
Hot Head: I broke it a while ago and I just got the cast off recently. My friend told me I shouldn’t fly around for a while. I guess I should’ve listened to her
Starburst: Probably. You should really be more careful.
Hot Head: Ha! Careful isn’t in my vocabulary! spreads wings Owowowowow! pulls wings back down
Starburst: Mmhm
Hot Head: chuckles Do me a favor, if you ever come across a mare named Amber, don’t tell her about this. She’d go ballistic and lecture me about how I should’ve listened to her and how she knows everything since she goes to nursing school and blah, blah, blah.
Starburst: Sure thing.
Hot Head: Thanks, um…..
Starburst: Starburst. Starburst Sparkle Sentry
Hot Head: Woah! You’re the princess! bows I’ve never met royalty before! You’re way different looking than I expected
Starburst: Oh yeah?
Hot Head: Yeah. I thought you would look all dressed up and elegant and pretty
Starburst: raises eyebrow
Hot Head: N-not that you’re not pretty! You’re really pretty! I just meant that you didn’t look like super….. what’s the word…. high maintenance. You look… normal. A good normal!
Starburst: Oh. Thanks. So uh, what’s your name?
Hot Head: The name’s Hot Head.
Starburst: That explains a lot
Hot Head: Guess it does, huh? So Princess Starburst, do you like to fly?
Starburst: Please don’t call me “Princess”. I hate that
Hot Head: Oh, sorry, my bad. Ya see, I just wanna be a guard when I get older. And they always call the Princes and the Princesses….. well… Prince and Princess
Starburst: Y-you wanna be in the guard?
Hot Head: Yeah for sure! It seems really cool.
Starburst: You should probably study up on royalty then seeing how you didn’t know who I was.
Hot Head: chuckles Probably. There’s just not many books where I live. I guess I could go to the library though
Starburst: Where do you live?
Hot Head: The Ponyville orphanage just about a mile from here
Starburst: O-oh, I’m so sorry…
Hot Head: It’s alright. Everypony thinks that being an orphan’s a bad thing. It’s not all that terrible. I have good friends over there who are like family so it’s okay
Starburst: That’s good.
Hot Head: Hey, you didn’t answer my question
Starburst: Oh, sorry what was it?
Hot Head: I asked if you liked to fly
Starburst: Um, well yeah. It’s a lot of fun
Hot Head: I bet you’re good at it. You’re wings are massive! walks around Starburst
Starburst: Yeah
Hot Head: lifts her hoof up And you’re really lean and small
Starburst: pulls hoof away a bit angrily
Hot Head: Sorry. Do you not like to be called small?
Starburst: Not particularly
Hot Head: I didn’t mean anything bad by it. It just means you’re nice an light. And that must mean you’re fast and can probably go really far since your wings are big.
Starburst: Oh
Hot Head: There’s nothing wrong with being small. I’m a bit short for my age too. But hey, it makes me faster!
Starburst: I guess so
Hot Head: How come you never enter the Best Young Fliers competition?
Starburst: Well, I don’t really have time to train for that since I’m training to be a guard right now
Hot Head: You’re gonna be a guard too? Can princesses do that?? And where can I train to be in the royal guard???
Starburst: Oh, well, I think princesses can since princes can. And I don’t think you can train quite yet. You have to be a certain age. I just train with my cousin since he’s in the guard
Hot Head: Wait so you’re Princess Twilight’s daughter, and she’s Prince Shining Armor’s sister and his son is……. Valiant Heart! You’re cousin’s Valiant!
Starburst: Mmhm
Hot Head: Cool! didn’t he get coronated recently?
Starburst: Yep. He totally deserves it.
Hot Head: That’s awesome.
Starburst: So…….. are you just gonna keep practicing flying today?
Hot Head: Maybe
Starburst: If you are, me and a couple of my friends are gonna do some tricks and stuff. You could stick around if you want
Hot Head: Really? Thanks! Who’re your friends
Starburst: They’re
Prism: Hey Star!
Whirlwind: Heeeyyy!
Starburst: Oh, there they are. Hi guys!
Hot Head: Oh……. um actually, y’know maybe I shouldn’t stay around. I should probably rest my wing
Starburst: Oh, okay. Well, get better soon then
Hot Head: Thanks. See ya takes off
Starburst: That was weird
Whirlwind: Whoa, Star, was that Hot Head?
Starburst: Um yeah. It was. Do you know him?
Prism: mumbles Wish I didn’t
Whirlwind: He’s only the winner of this past year’s Young Fliers Competition! You should’ve seen him! He was amazing!
Prism: rolls eyes
Starburst: Really? He’s that good?
Whirlwind: Yeah! He just showed up out of nowhere last year. I heard that he got asked to train with the Wonderbolts! And he’s only thirteen!
Starburst: Wow….
Prism: He’s not that great
Starburst: I take it you don’t like him
Prism: Nope. When he won he rubbed it in my face! He was such a sore winner!
Whirlwind: Awwww poor baby’s butthurt from his loss
Prism: No ways! He was just lucky pouts
Whirlwind: Mmhm you keep telling yourself that Mr. Grumpypants. kisses Prism’s nose
Starburst: to herself That’s so weird. He seemed so nice when I was talking to him…
Prism: Anyways, you ready to learn some tricks Star? My parents just taught me some really cool new ones
Starburst: Yeah, for sure
Prism: Alright then, let’s get started!
