"… Hey Twi?”

“Yes Rainbow?”

“Thanks. For everything. Just… thanks.”

“You’re welcome, but for what? I should be thanking you.”

“I know it doesn’t sound like much, but if you didn’t slap some sense into me when you did… I dunno, but I probably would be more worse for wear. I don’t know how else to thank you for caring about me that much so… thanks.”

“You don’t need to thank me. You already returned the favour tenfold. I couldn’t see how much I was burning myself out. I know I can be stubborn sometimes, and it really means a lot to have somepony like you watching out for me.”

“Always.” …






“Did you want to talk about it?”

“Well…

“It’s just… hard, y’know? I mean, it’s like no matter how you finish, no matter how hard you work… there’s always something else. And you can’t say no or stop doing one thing without feeling like you’re letting everypony down. And eventually it starts to bring you down. If you’re not panicking to finish one thing you’re already on your way to do the next. Even being with your friends can become a chore, just another thing to do. It’s horrible. The last thing I want is for spending time with you…with any of the girls, to feel like something I have to do.”

“You get it.”

*Nod*

“And tomorrow this’ll all be over. Tomorrow you go back to work and training, and I go back to my studies.”

“Yeah…”
