"Stupid Skies thinks she's that know-it-all or what, I tell you she can go and do that whatever sky business somewhere else."

Two ponies rambled through the abandoned corridors of training centre. And with her stomach and head full, Silver Dust didn't shut her mouth since they left the cafeteria.

"Candles don't give enough light, spears are not sharp enough, roads are dusty. Sheeesh, I wonder if all pegasi are such whining butts," the batpony snorted, marching ahead. "As a batpony, she'd speak differently. She WILL speak differently, just you wait. Um, Zinnia? Are you listening?" She turned around to look for her silent companion. She didn't notice until now, that she was leaving her behind. "Hey, you okay back there?"

"Hmm."

"You know you've been pretty quiet there with the girls and all. Is something the matter? If it's because of Coulee, don't take it personally. She's just a stubborn earthpony being stubborn, you'll learn her way."

"I won't do it."

"Um?"

"The transformation spell. I'm not going to do it."

"WHAT"

"I've been thinking about it a lot lately, so I realized I never actually thought about it before. Guess that's because it never really was a question. A lot of outside ponies came here to seek new lives, change, new ways to be themselves. I came here, because I wanted to believe I'm enough just the way I am. I know I'm enough. I'm proud of who I am and... I don't want to became someone I'm not. Night Guard or not, I still have some obligation to my kind, that I want to stay true to."

"O-okay... Is... is that what you've been so concerned about all this time?"

"Eversince you started to mention it so often, yes. So?"

"Are you asking for my opinion?"

"I suppose I am. Though you are the most speciesist pony I know, but don't worry, I've noticed a pattern with you batponies," Zinnia smirked.

Silver Dust brow furrowed.

"So?"

"I..." Silver's expression softened "I think it's your choice to make." She stepped closer to the unicorn. "But it's gonna be super hard. It's already hard for batponies as it is, but for a unicorn..."

"I've never had it easy," Zinnia smiled. "I'll just have to try even harder."

"I'm not talking only about the tryouts. If you'll pass, you're going to stay here. And this place is... you said it. Batponies are not exactly accepting of other species. Heck it took us centuries before we even considered connecting with the daylight ponies! So there will always be some extra attention on you, more press. If you won't do the transformation spell, it will send out a signal that you haven't fully accepted our ways. For some, you may be seem as a threat. It... might be dangerous."

"Thank you."

"Huh?" Silver raised an eyebrow. "For what?"

"For the concerns. I promise I'll look out for troubles."

"Heh, so you still wanna do it your way. Even after all I told you."

"It's how I said before. It never was a question. I was just... insecure. But thanks to your insight I know what I'm getting myself into. And for that, I can prepare."

"If you say so, sis," Silver Dust shrugged her worries away as even her friend wasn't so tense about all this anymore. "Always happy to help. But I gotta say," she smirked, "you'd make one pretty and badass batpony."

"Guess I'll have to be even more badass unicorn," Zinnia winked and they both continued their way into the dorms, chatting friendly.

DONE. This is done, I am done, everything is DONE. (oh I wish)
I'm just randomly building up some stuff for my Night guard and batpony headcanons with this... also I need to figure out how to draw ponies from up front. I've been redoing this pic for too many times. xD
