Cherry was trotting back to the large black building. The night after the first day of training passed in a flash. Once Blaze had 'accidentally' set a trap right where Cherry was going to walk, they went back to the hotel. The diner wasn't memorable, as everypony just took their dishes to their own rooms and ate in silence. Cherry had opened up her paper and continued to jot down various battle strategies she had learned at training that day. Once she was satisfied with the answer, she went to bed, thankfully with no nightmares.

She trotted through the gates, and saw everypony already separating into their different survival subjects. She glanced at Crystal, who nodded toward the camouflage station. Cherry smiled and headed in that direction. As she was walking, she noticed a somewhat large group of ponies gathering over by the weapon station. She narrowed her eyes and snorted, figuring they were the careers. Soon, one of them glanced her way. He was jet black, coat and mane alike. His blue eyes soon met hers, and they locked gazes. She caught a glimpse of the other careers behind him, and saw an evil glint in their eyes. She looked back at the colt, and saw that his seemed more dim. She dragged her gaze away and trod to the station.

She looked to one side and saw various material spread out, and on the other side an area of trees, grass, and other biomes. She saw a unicorn colt smearing mud over his face. As he rubbed it along the base of his horn, she noticed it seemed to be faintly glowing, but Cherry just shrugged it off. She went and sat next to him. She got a hoof-full of yellow, sand colored paint, and touched ut to her cheek. She pressed and rubbed her hoof along, smearing it all over her face. She then got a dip of darker yellow and rubbed in highlights. She soon got into a groove, and kept adding highlights, and even began to cover her body too.

As she looked to her side, she saw the purple colt watching in awe. "W-Wow!" He said, "You're so much better at this then me.." He pointed to a nearby mirror. Cherry gasped. Her face was the perfect mixture of sandy ground. She would blend in easily. She then looked at the stallion, and winced. He had dark brown smeared randomly around his face. His dark purple mane was clumped with the mud, and his horn was still flickering purple light. Cherry tapped her chin in thought. She went and trotted over to the desert biome. She laid down and looked in the mirror. Her face was as camouflaged as it would get in such a flat area, yet she smiled with pride.

She stood up and walked over to a sink, beginning to wash all of it off. Once achieving her goal, she waved goodbye to the colt and checked off camouflage in her mental checklist. She walked over to a station where various fruits and plants were on display. Under each of the items, were a small description, stating the name, cause, advantages, disadvantages, and location. She went around, studying each plant and its description, when a bell rang. The last day of training was over, and soon the first day of the rest of her life would begin.

She gulped. Oh why couldn't we have more than two days? She asked herself silently. Cherry started walking over to where Crystal was waiting, and Blaze soon joined them. Crystals grin was almost scary.

"Alrighty guys! Training is over, but you still have a few more times to prove yourselves. I hope your ready for the interviews and training tests!" Cherry sighed and hung her head.

"Yeah... I guess so." She replied unenthusiastically. Crystal smiled bigger and led them out the door.

"But the last thing we have to do today is go to the designer for tomorrows interviews." Crystal didn't wait for them to reply as the whisked around and began trotting in the direction of the designers house. Cherry and Blaze had no other choice but to follow her.
