19. Brains and Brawn Work Well Together

Twilight Sparkle leaves the Library to meet her friends at an outdoor activity center. Tagging along is a young lady with her black hair in a ponytail, and has a blue and white outfit on. This girl adjusts her glasses so they don’t fall off.
“Thanks for joining me for my study date, Zelda.” Twilight said happily.
“It’s not a problem, Twilight.” The girl named Zelda replied. “We intellectuals have to stick together.”
“I like that logic. Now that study time is over, are you ready for some outdoor activities?”
“Yes, I am. Lead the way.”
The two brainiacs enter the area, seeing all the fun activities. They see a rock climbing wall, a big field for frisbee throws, and even an outdoor pool for swimming. Since the sun is out, it’s a perfect day for being outside.
“This weather is absolutely perfect.” Zelda cheered. “So, where are your friends?”
Twilight looked around. By the rock climbing wall, she saw Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, and Sunset Shimmer. “Over there. Come on.”
The three girls see their brainy friend coming.
“Hey, Twilight.” Sunset greeted. “Glad you can make it.”
“Thanks.” Twilight replied. “After sometime of studying, a little physical activity is what I need to vent of some steam.”
Rainbow Dash spotted Twilight’s companion, and is surprised. “Zelda the Brain? What are you doing here?”
“Miss Sparkle asked me to join her on her study date.” Zelda explained.
“That figures. You brainiacs do get along with each other.”
“Indeed. Now, I’m ready to engage in some physical exercise.”
Pinkie Pie laughed hysterically. “You, doing any physical exercise? That’s a good one.”
Sunset Shimmer stepped in. “Don’t knock it, Pinkie. Zelda does hold her own against the likes of Godiva, Evangelina, and Major Tanya.”
Pinkie’s eyes widened hearing that. Rainbow Dash helps put a helmet on Zelda’s head, and prepared a harness to keep her safe.
“Show us what you can do, Zelda.” Rainbow Dash cheered.
Looking at the wall, Zelda prepared herself. She starts climbing, using the pegs and footholds, Zelda climbs the wall. Everybody watched and is amazed. Reaching the top peg, Zelda waved to the girls, and they cheered.
After climbing back down, and removing her safety gear, Zelda was given a bottle of water.
“That was amazing!” Twilight cheered.
“Yeah!” Rainbow added. “That was awesome! You’re stronger than you appear.”
“Thank you.” Zelda praised. “As the old saying goes. Never judge a book by it’s cover.”
Pinkie was shocked to see what Zelda can do. Wow. My family is not going to believe this.
