My Body Is Ready
Wind walked through the streets of the Heroes' paradise, munching happily on the jelly doughnut in his hand. He was headed back to his house, but in order to get there he needed to pass by Twilight's house, which was right next door. Normally this wouldn't matter in the slightest, but today, something happened that made poor Wind wished he'd taken a detour.
"Well go on, Twilight," he thought he heard Time say from inside the house, "you'll need to take off your shirt if we're going to get anything done."
He froze in place, his doughnut halfway to his mouth. Did he just hear what he thought he heard?
"Okay, all right, geez," said Twilight's voice with an annoyed sigh, "you don't have to rush me!"
"Great," chimed in Sky. "Here's the oil, Time - now lie down, Twilight. You're going to love this."
Wind didn't even notice that he had dropped his jelly doughnut in shock and horror. His breath stopped and his face turned blood red as he listened to a series of Twilight's grunts and sighs. Finally, he heard a screech, startling him a little.
"Ah! Ow!" cried Twilight, "Geez, Time, can't you be a little more gentle!?"
At this, Wind covered his ears with his hands and ran off, praying to the goddesses that They would bless him with the ability to unhear the things he had just heard.
Time laughed sheepishly, his hands slick with the clove oil he had been rubbing onto Twilight's back. "Sorry, but that knot by your shoulder is something fierce."
Twilight frowned. "Yeah, I know. You're the one who gave it to me."
"Maybe you should go a little easier on him, Time," suggested Sky, who was in the middle of wringing out a hot, wet rag and placing it on Twilight's neck, "especially if your training is giving him such bad back problems."
"Yeah," said Time with a sympathetic smile, "maybe you're right." He then returned his hands to Twilight's back, kneading out the massive knot and causing him to wince in pain.
