CS: (sighs contently) (Thinking: “Ahh, it’s nice to be able to wind down like this after such a busy day. And on an evening like this too!”)  
GG: (flies up next to Confetti)  
CS: “Galaxy? Hi! I haven’t seen you up here in awhile!”  
GG: (sighs) “Hi, Confetti.”  
CS: “Is everything okay? You seem tired.”  
GG: “Just had a hard day at royal guard training, is all. Also, my brother and I are going through a bit of a rough patch…”  
CS: “Aw. Wanna talk about it? It’ll help you feel better!”  
GG: (sighs) “Well, we haven’t been getting anything done lately in guard training because of this one cadet. She’s always aggressive and trying to take everything over when she’s supposed to be following Uncle’s orders. She’s a good soldier, and I respect her for that, but…it’s cadets like her that make my life so hard.”  
CS: “Oh, you mean Turquoise Edge?”  
GG: “Yes! How did you know?”  
CS: “She’s my cousin; that just sounds like something she’d do. You learn to tolerate her…she’s not that bad once you get to know her!”  
GG: “Yeah, well, I wish I could at least get through guard practice without either feeling completely exhausted or having the urge to strangle somepony.”  
CS: “…Anyways, how are things going with your brother?”  
GG: “Not go good…we and the rest of the princesses are dealing with some diplomatic issues in Yakyakistan and Dusk just can’t get it through his head that we can’t always solve everything peacefully, especially with those yaks! Friendship and harmony is great and all but he needs to realize that we have to have our military forces prepared for these types of things!”  
CS: “Aw, I’m sure you’ll work things out! Siblings always do, take it from me!”  
GG: “Yeah, but your siblings are eight year old foals. Dusk and I are adults. It’s different.”  
CS: “Still, all siblings argue no matter the age and what matters is that you still love each other!”  
GG: “Yeah…I guess you’re right…”  
CS: “Heheh, just trying to help! I had a pretty busy day too with Cheesy and Creamy so it’s nice to go flying with you and think about something else for a little while!”  
GG: “Yeah, it is. How are you though? I don’t think I ask that enough…”  
CS: “It’s fine, don’t mention it! I’ve been pretty busy with the twins’ birthday coming up and Mom and Dad coming home soon, but things are pretty great!”  
GG: “Where even are your parents anyway? I don’t think I ever see them.”  
CS: “They’re traveling party ponies. They always come home for birthdays and holidays, but other than that they’re out creating smiles for other ponies! I’m often left in charge of Cheesy and Creamy. It’s pretty hard but at least I’m getting practice for if I ever become a mom! We still miss Mom and Dad though…”  
GG: “I gotta say, you’d make a pretty good mom with how good you are with foals and all. But I’m sorry about your parents, that must suck…”  
CS: “It’s fine, really, I’m used to it! Besides, I get more time with Cheesy and Creamy.”  
GG: “Confetti, how are you able to go through all this hardship and still be as happy as you are? I mean, I have a stressful day and I get burnt out, while you’re still friendly and talkative even after practically parenting your own siblings! How do you do it?”  
CS: “It’s not always easy…sometimes, all I want to do is crawl into bed or fly away somewhere. But then I remember all of the good things about my life…the ponies I love, something good that happened, that type of thing. It keeps me going and you should try it too! There are lots of great things in your life if you think about it…starting with these flights! You just gotta look for them!”  
GG: “You know what? You’re right. I needed to hear that. Thank you, Confetti.”  
CS: “Aw, you’re welcome! I really love these sunset flights with you. We should do this more often!”  
GG: “Definitely!”
