Catchweight awoke to the alarm clock. He gave a loud groan and hit it, turning the alarm off. He got up looked around his apartment,looking at everything littered around. Magazines, records, and trash littered the floor around his bed, which was really just a sleeping bag for camping. He shook his head to wake himself up fully, before getting up and walking to the window. Outside, he saw his trainer, Specter, waiting for him outside. Specter was a grey coated pegasus pony, with a light black mane. Catchweight, after seeing Specter, walked outside, not bothering to lock the door behind him. 'Not like there's anything to take', he thought. He walked down the stairs of his apartment complex and aproached Specter, whom was resting his eyes. He was about to start speaking, but Specter cut him off with, "don't tell me; let me guess." He opened his green eyes and faced Catchweight. "You were having that dream about your debut, and didn't hear your alarm until the dream was over." Catchweight gave a sheepish grin and said, "ah, you know me so well, don't ya?" His manehatten accent being readily apparent. "That and it's the excuse you've given me every over time this happens." Specter replied. "You do know that's not how It happened, right? I mean, at first I thought you were just dreaming about how you wanted it to happen, but now I'm a little concerned". Catchweight stared at him confused. "Whatca mean?" He inquired. "Well, for one" Specter answered "it ended in the third round". "So? That's just two rounds off", Catchweight replied. "Yeah, but you also were really bad with your feints. Boulder only fell for the first two, then hit you every other time you tried", Specter retorted. "Yeah...well...I still won by knockout". "Oh, sure. Only after you almost lost." "I didn't almost lose!". "Yeah, you did. By TKO. You were knocked down two times in the last round, and were about to be knocked down again before you KO'd Boulder. Face it. Your fantasy is nothing like what actually happened. Now come on; we wasted enough time as it is" Specter opens his wings and gets into the air, motions for Catchweight to follow, then flies off. "Yeah yeah...just you wait, fly-boy. You'll get yours" he hisses before taking off after Specter
