“O-kay! We’re totally gonna do this! We’re gonna win!” Silverstream cheered, pumping her fist as she shouted in the middle of the hall.

“Yak and hippogriff gonna win!” Yona shouted, echoing her friend’s sentiment with a hearty ground-shaking stomp.

Silverstream flew in front of Yona, butting foreheads with her. “We’re gonna come out on top this month!”

“Nothing stop us!” Yona reared up like she was ready to charge.

“So bring it on! Give us your worst, we can take it!”

Yona threw her head back and yelled at the top of her lungs. “YONA AND SILVERSTREAM INVINCIBLE!”

“Yeah! That’s the spirit! So! How are we gonna get through the month?”

“Yona has no clue.”

“Oh…” Silverstream’s mood deflated a bit, the motivated momentum they had hitting a dead stop. “Hmm, well it’s not going to be easy, we’re definitely going to be tempted by a lot of hot and sexy stuff, how are we gonna push past it?”

“Ooh, Yona know! We need to get stronger!”

Silverstream tilted her head quizically. “Stronger? What do you mean?”

“If bad thoughts get in our heads, we push them out!” Yona said with a stomp of her hoof. “We work out bodies so that we get stronger. That way, we push out any naughty thoughts we want to!”

Silverstream gasped, squishing Yona’s cheeks together in absolute awe of her wisdom. “Yona, that’s a brilliant idea!”

“Yeah, yaks have best ideas!” she nodded, beaming with pride.

“Well what are we waiting for? Let’s go outside and get our bodies moving!”

The pair dashed through the halls, making a beeline for the doors, pushing past other students along the way, including one of the professors.

“Where are you two heading off to in such a rush?”

“Oooh wait wait wait!” Struck with inspiration, Silverstream skidded to a halt and walked backwards to talk to her teacher. “Professor Applejack! Professor Applejack! Can you help us out?”

“Sure, whatcha need, girls?”

“Well see, Yona had this GREAT idea to start doing workouts so that we can keep our minds focused during the month!” Silverstream pumped her fists in demonstration as Yona trailed back.

Applejack smirked and nodded in agreement, “So, that’s your plan, huh? Can’t say it’s a bad strategy.”

“Yeah! And you’re like, insanely strong and stuff, so you MUST know how to build some muscle!” Silverstream looked at Applejack excitedly, her wings slowly lifting her off the ground.

Applejack gave her a modest blush and chuckle. “Heh, Ah dunno about that, Ah’m pretty sure Rainbow Dash’d know more about a workout routine than me. Ah got these hooves from bucking trees ever since I was young.”

“That what make Professor good coach!” Yona chimed in. “Professor working out her whole life!”

“Heh, well, if y’all are so insistent, Ah’ll see what I can do…”

“YESSSS!” Silverstream flew up in the air with an ecstatic twirl. “Let’s do this! We’re gonna be invincible!”

The three went outside to the school’s running track, with Applejack bringing a whistle and some water buckets with her.

“Alright! What are we gonna do first? Weightlifting? Extreme hula-hoops? Blindfolded boxing?!”

“First we gotta stretch out.” Applejack lifted up one hind leg, slowly kicking it out behind her.

“Aww…”

Applejack clicked her tongue in disapproval. “You two are complainin’ now, but you’ll complain a whole lot more if you’re hurting in the morning. Now c’mon, stretch out your legs.”

As Silverstream kicked out her feet, Yona struggled to lift her legs as high as she saw Applejack. “Yaks...not flexible…”

Applejack rocked her body back and forth, lowering her flank and puffing her chest out, then backing up, sticking her toned butt in the air to stretch out her front hooves.

Yona and Silverstream mirrored Applejack’s actions, though their positioning meant that the former was giving the latter a very up-close and personal view of her rear end.

“Oh so that’s what Sandbar...ok I get it now…” Silverstream murmured to herself, the first thing she’s said quietly all day.

“Alright, now that we’ve stretched out our legs, time to put them to use, let’s get some laps around the track!” Applejack stomped her hooves down on the ground.

Yona and Silverstream made a mad dash, hooves and claws scrambling as they sprinted from the grass to the track.

“Remember to pace yourselves, you two! Still got plenty more after you’re done!” Applejack called out, watching the girls circle around the track.

Silverstream was already outspeeding Yona by quite a bit due to going at a full sprint, but hearing Applejack got her to slow down.

Yona was running at a steady pace, and the distance between her and Silverstream was slowly but surely shortening.

Applejack turned to keep the two in sight, continuing to cheer them on whenever she noticed either of them getting fatigued. “C’mon, just cause it’s getting colder out doesn’t mean ya can’t break a sweat! Let’s go go go!”

“Yona...not...meant...for...speed…” the yak was dripping with sweat, practically shaking the ground with every step she took.

“How...many...more...do we...have to...do?” Silverstream gasped for air, slowing down even more by asking the question, a good amount of her energy already spent due to the initial sprint, now running alongside Yona.

“Only five more, and then you can take a break!”

Silverstream leaned against Yona for support, trying to focus herself on the track ahead. “C-C’mon Yona! Coach Applejack is gonna make us...invincible!”

“YAAAAAAAH!” Side by side, Yona and Silverstream charged forward on the track.

“Heh, Ah dunno about invincible,” Applejack mused to herself. “But they sure got the spirit, at least. Wouldn’t hurt me neither to get a little more exercise in…” She went into a full sprint, joining her students in the remaining laps.
