-Specter Ace began to dread her next patrol the moment she took a quick glance out the window. The Weather Crew’s claim of a ‘light drizzle’ was anything but a pompous lie as the downpour of the decade swamped the country. Swallowing her pride, Specter Ace readjusted her uniform and pulled at the brim of her beret, ready to face the onslaught with her head held high. She took one step out-AND then promptly back in, this wasn’t a storm, this was a MONSOON.. Specter Ace felt her stomach twist into a knot when the unmistakable thunder of heavy Cavalry boots approached from behind her. Gulping loudly, Specter Ace stepped out into the downpour without a word, wanting to show her goddess her true devotion to General Luna and to Equestria as a whole!
 
Except, upon stepping out from the awning, she remained relatively bone dry.
 
Patting her dry as can be Beret and glancing at the drops splashing onto her combat boots, Specter Ace curiously looked up at her newfound umbrella. The mighty wing of General Luna herself!
 
“A light drizzle, they said!” Luna chuckled, pushing her soaked bangs out of her eyes with a caring smile on her face. “Well, I am no tyrant. If my Elite Guard’s must face Tartarus or High Water, then they at least must have the pleasure of doing so in the shade.”
 
Specter Ace struggled to find the words to express her admiration for General Luna’s self-less sacrifice. So, she figured a chirpy thumbs up would suffice! This was going to be an easy patrol after all!-
