Sunny: Alright, alright. Just breathe. You’re gonna walk over there and show ‘em how it’s done… n-not that you know how anything is down yet… but you will! And you do, you’re gonna be the best guard Equestria’s ever seen. Just like Uncle Shining. phew Okay let’s do–
Overcast: Sunny?
Sunny: high pitched screaming C-CASS! You scared me! I-I mean that was just self defense. It’s a guard thing. You wouldn’t understand.
Overcast: Right chuckles
Sunny: Wait, what are you doing here?
Overcast: I was told there was gonna be sparring today for the new guard trainees.
Sunny: S-sparring?
Overcast: Yep. I heard it’s gonna get pretty rough. So they needed a sort of nurse or physical trainer to help out. I figured I’d volunteer.
Sunny: Ah, I see. Yes… very smart. Wouldn’t want anypony… dying… or… anything….. Can you die from sparring?
Overcast: I mean, you could die from tripping an falling if you’re having a bad day soooo… anything’s possible if life decides to screw you over.
Sunny: That’s encouraging.
Overcast: So you’re a trainee, huh? That’s cool! I didn’t take you for the guard type though.
Sunny: Hmph, well you took wrong. I am one hundred percent beefcake and ready to take on any enemy that comes my way puffs out chest
Overcast: First of all, beefcake doesn’t necessarily mean strong. Second of all, you’re more like a cheesecake. And third of all, I’m pretty sure I saw you squaring up with Tank the other day and ultimately ending up with bruised nose.
Sunny: He’s got lightning punches!
Overcast: He’s a tortoise, Sunshine.
Sunny: A strong and fast tortoise! And why does me being in the guard concern you anyways? Don’t think I can do it?
Overcast: Eeeeeehhhh…
Sunny: Gee thanks…
Overcast: Look, I’m a strong believer in that “anything is possible if you put your mind to it” jazz, and I do think you could be a good guard. I’m just afraid your doing this for all the wrong reasons.
Sunny: What do you mean? I just wanna be a guard!
Overcast: I’m not buying it. Sunshine, you don’t have to prove anything to anypony.
Sunny: … I’m just tired of being called girly and weak. B-but if I do well in the guard, that won’t happen anymore
Overcast: But it’s not you. And there’s nothing wrong with being a girly, y’know. I might be biased but I think it’s pretty great smiles
Sunny: Hnnn…
Overcast: Just own it, dude. And you’re not weak. Maybe not the strongest physically, but you’re smart, clever, good at all that magic stuff and you’ve got a great heart. Strength comes in many shapes and sizes.
Sunny: nods
Overcast: And if you wanna get stronger, physically, there are ways to do so other than putting yourself in a situation where you’re fighting ponies twice your size who have been training for battle almost all their life chuckles
Sunny: Mmhm. Well… I’m still gonna give it a shot!
Overcast: Then I won’t stop you. Be safe out there, okay? And if you don’t think it’s for you, I know a few really good workouts that you could do.
Sunny: Yeah?
Overcast: Mmhm. That’s what happens when your mom’s a superstar athlete.
Sunny: Well thank you, Cass. I might take you up on that offer.
Overcast: Good. Now get out there, champ! Just come find me on the sidelines if you get hurt, yeah?

I meant the show artists thought Lyra and Bon Bon looked good together because of their colors. Hence why they’re usually seen together.
@Background Pony #0338
If it’s LyraBon then we already know they’re “best friends”, I doubt it the second option considering Fancy seems smart enough to spot a bad influence.
@darknessRising24
I think two things. Either it’s a Lyra/Bon Bon situation and the artists think they look good together aesthetically or they’re friends, but Fleur is particularly interested because Fancy is rich and his name carries weight.
@Background Pony #0338
The thing is, Spike is the only male that’s been a completely devoted gentleman to her, sure there was Fancy Pants but he’s already taken.
@darknessRising24
I find his crush creepy. It’s borderline obsession. It’s obvious Rarity doesn’t return his feelings either, if anything she finds it cute.
I’d rather Spike be with Ember (which Kilala’s new next gen includes)
It’s not that the old version isn’t canon, it’s more that it’s likely gone for the time being. From everything Kilala’s done before, I’m predicting this binge on the new guys is going to be her fill of pony art for the time being, and her imagination is focused on these so much that her old canon will almost be foreign to her. And from what she’s said on her other blogs, she’s not going to draw the old characters just because it’s what other fans want.
I’m not saying it’s bad, I’m just saying that like any creative type, Kilala’s evolved from the one she was when she began, and I think it’s very unlikely she’ll want to or need to look backward.
And then the 100th Episode and EQG went to town with that…

True, but then again when do we ever NOT see them together? Even in the background?
We don’t know that. AFAIK nothing says he and Fleur are together, and fans just latched onto it because they were seen together.
The thing is, Spike is the only male that’s been a completely devoted gentleman to her, sure there was Fancy Pants but he’s already taken.
At least she got over them, but they both turned out to be asses.
I wouldn’t say it’s creepy, not to mention Rarity isn’t innocent when it comes to obsession, coughTrenderhoofandBluebloodcough.
Not to mention she is show to at least appreciate him.

What’s wrong with Sparity??
Wouldn’t mind that at all. These ships are much better imho.
Luna isn’t with some random OC
I hate Sparity
and all the other ships in this AU make a bit more sense
We’ll see in due time….

Not really, this is more of an alternate continuity.
Sunshine: “Practicing being a Royal Guard!”
Overcast: “Really now?”
Sunshine: “Yeah, according to Mr. Flash and Uncle Armor, all guards must be still and stone-faced while on duty, and not let anything distract them!”
Overcast: “So you’re just gonna stand there…”
Sunshine: “Yep!”
Overcast: “…not moving at all…”
Sunshine: “Not a muscle!”
Overcast: “…no matter what?”
Sunshine: “That’s right!”
Overcast: leans in close to his face
Sunshine: stays still
Overcast: leans in closer
Sunshine: starts to sweat and inches back a little
Overcast: gets even closer
Sunshine: tries to move back-
Overcast: moves in and kisses him on the nose
Sunshine: “GAAAH!” falls over “WHAT THE HAY, OVERCAST?!”
Overcast: starts laughing “So much for “stone-faced” huh Shinny? Hahahaha!”
