Whirlwind: Yes Prism, I was with you.
Prism: No, no, no but did you see when I captured the other team’s flag? Too easy! I thought for sure I wasn’t gonna make that dive
Whirlwind: Heh, yeah, good job sweetie.
Prism: OH and on the spinny thing! Dude, it was SOOOO easy! I don’t get what the big deal about it is.
Whirlwind: Well, Prism, not everypony is as naturally talented as you are and
Prism: Not even close! sighs So many academy records.
Whirlwind: Mmhm
Prism: Oooooh and then
Whirlwind: Prism, can we just eat please? You’re gonna talk the whole lunch break away and have no energy for the next exercises
Prism: Psh, I guess. But for the record, I could probably outdo any of these losers even on an empty stomach
Whirlwind: opens mouth to speak and looks down
Dream Catcher: Hey guys!
Whirlwind: Hello
Prism: does a quick head nod while he eats
Dream Catcher: Um, just wanted to say good job out there. Both of you are really good at flying!
Prism: You know it
Whirlwind: rolls eyes at Prism and looks back that the other pegasus Thank you. That really means a lot
Dream Catcher: No problem! M-maybe you could teach me some of your tricks sometime!
Whirlwind: Oh, we’d love to
Prism: What’s in it for us?
Dream Catcher: Oh, um… I dunno
Prism: I mean, getting help from us is like getting professional help. I’n’t that right, Dubz? wraps hoof around her
Whirlwind: ………
Dream Catcher: Well, I mean I could give you a few bits or
Whirlwind: No, don’t say that. You don’t need to
Prism: Oooh bits, huh?
Dream Catcher: I… yeah. I feel like I could learn a lot from both of you
Whirlwind: mumbles You certainly won’t learn how to have a good attitude. Look, you don’t have to say all this stuff. It’s just gonna make his ego bigger
Prism: Pfft, what ego?
Whirlwind: The fact that you don’t even know you have one means you have a HUGE one
Prism: I wouldn’t call it an ego. Pride maybe, but not an ego. I’m just embracing my talent and the fact that…. well, I can do some things better than a lot of these guys.
Whirlwind: ………….. you’re kidding right?
Prism: …….No? Are you saying that I shouldn’t be proud?
Whirlwind: No. You have every right to be proud, Prism. You’re a real talented guy. I’m saying you shouldn’t be cocky and make everypony else feel like they’re worse than you are and that you’re on some sort of high pedestal
Prism: But it’s the truth though
Whirlwind: Prism, nopony is any worse than you are and you have no right to talk down to them
Prism: shrugs Eh.
Whirlwind: ……………. that’s it? That’s all you have to say?
Prism: …. Yeah, I guess. Would you rather me argue with you?
Whirlwind: ……….That it. I’m done stands up
Prism: What
Whirlwind: I’m tired, Prism Bolt. I can’t deal with you and your attitude anymore.
Prism: Are you…
Whirlwind: Breaking up with you? Yes.
Prism: Why? Where is this even coming from??
Whirlwind: Prism, I’ve addressed this problem with you so many times. You just don’t listen!
Prism: No you haven’t!
Whirlwind: Yes I have! I know what I said!
Prism: And I know what I heard! You
Whirlwind: Well, apparently, you heard absolutely nothing.
Prism: Dubz
Whirlwind: You have a lot of thinking to do Prism.
Prism: ………….. Well it’s you’re loss
Whirlwind: Of course it is. You keep telling yourself that looks toward the other pegasus C’mon. Let’s go outside. I can show you a couple quick tricks before lunch ends
Dream Catcher: Oh, really? Wow thanks!
Whirlwind and the Dream Catcher walk away
Prism: snorts
