Steel was watching Rainbow Dash practice for the games. From the look of things, she was working herself pretty hard. In fact, she was almost at the point of collapse! Steel rushed to her side and managed to prop her up! "Easy there Dash! You're almost hitting the ground you're going at it so hard."
"I guess...I could take a break.", Rainbow Dash said with an exhausted smile.
"You're practicing pretty hard."
"Yeah. We're gonna win The Friendship Games this year! Crystal Prep's beat us pretty much every year! So we've become pretty big rivals! But the whole school's been brought together now! We're SURE to win this year!"
"Not to mention you could bust out your magic.", Steel said jokingly.
"No way! We're gonna beat Crystal Prep with our own skills!"
"No wonder you're my kind of girl Dash. ", Steel said with a smile. "You're loyal. Not to mention pretty determined."
"Heh. The other girls said I'd never get a guy to like me. I guess you showed them."
"Yeah. Hope you rock the games Dash." Steel then kissed her. "I'll be sure to cheer extra loud for you."
"And I'll be listening.", Rainbow Dash said with a wink.
Meanwhile with Sunset and Gold...
"Hard to believe we found each other right?", Gold asked as he was walking with Sunset. "Not to mention everything you've been through. Plus, nice new outfit."
"Thanks. I thought I'd get a look that showed my new outlook. Rarity was a big help in that. But to be honest, you're the one who really makes my life brighter."
"I guess I could say the same for you. And...there's something I want to give you. To show just how much you mean to me." Gold pulled a small box out of his pockets and opened it to reveal a ring. "This ring belonged to my passed-on adopted mother. Pegasus gave it to me, and told me to give it to the girl who means the most to me. When I first got to this world, I thought I'd never find anyone like me. But then I found you." Sunset slipped the ring on and smiled.
"You really rise to the occasion every time."
"That's my line.", Gold said with a chuckle. "Good luck in the games Sunset."
"Just make sure you and the guys put on a rockin' performance!", Sunset said. "I better go and meet up with the girls. Rarity wanted to show us something. Probably whatever outfits she made for the games. That we might not use at all."
