[Action]

[Normally one who sleeps away the winter months, Xzana has once again opted to move into human housing so that she can be awake during it. So long as she keeps warm enough she shouldn't fall asleep and as long as she has the thing called a bathtub she can suit her needs of being submerged for long periods of time.

However, a bathtub is much more cramped than the lake she is use to during warmer weather and she simply must get out once in awhile. Today she has decided to chance spending a little time outside. She's a bit hesitant at first, seeing the white drops falling from the sky, but after a little longer she starts to have some fun.

She prances about, kicking up snow in her bare, clawed feet. Wearing nothing but a flora dress she found randomly at the clothing shop she's a bit odd to see around. She'll spend time skating through the rivers that run through the village as she makes her way to the grocery store. She'll eat her fill of some of the raw meat there before carrying an arm full of it back to the ground building. At least being alone on the top floor means it shouldn't smell too bad when that meat slowly starts to rot.

Feeling full and happy she opens her journal to speak into it. Still full of energy, but not wanting to spend more time outside and chance freezing into place. The one winter she had spent awake in her homeland her friend Casimir would read from his books.]


Humans. Have you any stories to share? I do not mind if they are long ones. Perhaps ones of battle and victories? [Those were always exciting.]

Well, actually, she's a unicorn-- well, I guess alicorn now. Last time she was here, she had wings and a horn, and I'm pretty sure it wasn't because of that spell.

[But while she's on the subject...]

So, when my friends came up to Cloudsdale, Rarity had this flashy set of butterfly wings, and everypony kept gawking at her, which just fueled her ego and made her enter the Best Young Flier competition. It was totally uncool, because I'd been practicing so hard to impress the judges! We're talking nonstop training with slick maneuvers only a real athlete could pull off.

I mean, I'm not mad at her now, but back then it was stressful. Maybe even a little scary. The worst part? We both wound up having to perform at the exact same time, and when Rarity flew up towards the sun to show off her wings, they burned right off, and she fell straight through the clouds.

It was a disaster!

[Not just because of the performance, but because it put one of Dash's closest friends in danger. Rarity may've gotten big headed, but that didn't stop Dash from caring.

But she'll get to those details soon.]

Way up there! 'Course, Cloudsdale's packed with pegasi, and the Wonderbolts dove right after her, but she sorta knocked 'em out with all her flailing.

[She can't help but chuckle at the mental image.]

'Course, I wasn't about to let one of my best friends become a pancake on the ground, so I rushed right after her, kicking up speed to make sure they all made it out okay. And the best part? Just as I reached them, I pulled off a Sonic Rainboom! I guess all it took was a little motivation.

And by the time it all ended, I wound up winning the competition, Rarity and I made up, and I even got to spend a whole day with the Wonderbolts! It was awesome.

Nah. But it's this super cool mix of a sonic boom and a rainbow! The second I break the sound barrier, it creates this huge rainbow ring across the sky. And the best part? I'm the only pony who's ever pulled it off, and that was my second time.

I'd show you if that stupid power cap wasn't in the way. It seriously slows me down.

Sure, but sound only moves so fast. Breaking the sound barrier means I can move faster than it.

[She may not be an egghead, but she at least knows that much.]
wannabolt: (um... so)

Uh, actually, sound sorta travels in waves. I don't know all the details, but I know that it kinda has to travel in order for us to hear it in the first place. It's just... invisible.
