>Graduation Day from training school. >Be Florence. >Everybody was hyped. >All who remain and have not been eliminated are going to be placed into different branches of the Guard. >You are lined up in formation with everybody, as the drill sergeant at the front calls each of you up individually. >Before you, your friends Midnight, Night Watch and Jasmine had already been called up. >All of them were selected to be in the Night Guard. >As was pretty much everyone else in the camp, since you were all bat ponies. >...With you being a little exception. >"Private Florence!" >Your eyes widen as you get called up. >The whole area is quiet as they all watch you walk up to the stage. >Not all of them appreciate you. >As you pass by a bat pony near the front row, you hear a passing whisper. >"Aryan scum." >You sigh. >You get to the stage, and the drill sergeant is looking at you. >"Private Florence. It is my honour to welcome you into... the Day Guard." >He says it with a straight face. >You can't tell if he's joking or not. >You swear you can hear harsh snickering behind you. >You seem to lose your breath. >Spaghetti starts flowing from your cutie marks. >"Hah... Uh. Yes, congratulations, Florence! You have graduated from guard training." >You give the drill sergeant a disheartened nod and smile.
