Candy: …….. I totally tripped and kissed him! Isn't that crazy?

Starburst: Yeah for sure. So was it awkward?

Candy: Little bit. I didn't really mind but Del still acts a little weird around me.

Starburst: I could see that.

Candy: Mmhm. Hopefully he gets over it because I haven't been able to have a normal conversation with him for a while picks up basket of apples

Starburst: Here let me help

Candy: Thanks! So where do we put these again?

Starburst: Over there by the cart hears a crack and turns around

Fletcher: hisses in pain Faen

Starburst: Fletcher? You okay?

Fletcher: Ja, I'm fine.

Starburst: What'd you do?

Fletcher: ……… I punched the tree.

Candy: Whoa, you need to chill bro.

Starburst: Why?

Fletcher: It's nothing

Starburst: Fletcher, your hand!

Fletcher: It's just a scratch.

Starburst: Still, you should probably put something on that

Crme: Hi guys! Look! I brought apple juice for us! I made it all by myself! Right, Del?

Del: Yep. And it's pretty great so you guys should try some

Starburst: In a minute. Del, do you have any bandages?

Del: Yeah, they're in the house. Why? Are you okay? Did someone get hurt?

Starburst: Fletcher's hand's bleeding

Candy: He punched a tree

Del: …. why?

Starburst: shrugs So can you get the bandages?

Del: Yeah, be right back runs to the house

Candy: Wait, Fletcher, really. Why'd you punch the tree? Are you mad?

Fletcher: Just a little frustrated

Starburst: Fletcher, you can talk to us.

Candy: Yeah, you're our friend! And friends always complain to each other!

Fletcher: ……………….

Candy: Pleaaaaaaaaaaaaase

Fletcher: looks at Starburst

Starburst: nods for him to go on

Fletcher: I…… I can't do anything right

Candy: What do you mean?

Fletcher: The apples. I can't get them down right

Starburst: You were doing just fine

Crme: Yeah! Hitting the stems with those little rocks to get them down was genius! You can get all the ones way up high. Del and I are the tallest ones here and we can't get those.

Fletcher: But it's ineffective. You all have been getting twice as many apples as I have.

Candy: That's okay. There's nothing wrong with that.

Fletcher: Yes there is. I could do better! I want to be good at this!

Starburst: Fletcher, you don't have to be good at everything. It's fine

Fletcher: But I want do it the right way! And jeg… jeg…. jeg nsker vre i stand til gjre noe annet! Men jeg kan ikke! Jeg er bare flinke til vre en vakt! Og … og…. Aaaargh!
(I want to be able to do something else! But I can not ! I'm only good at being a guard! And… and…. Aaaargh!)

Crme: whispers Did anyone catch that?

Starburst: Hey, calm down. I can only speak a little Norhegian. Now, what did you say?

Fletcher: I…….. I am as they say a "one trick pony". I am only good at being a guard. I cannot do anything else. I can't get apples, I can't cook, I can't sing, I can't do…. a lot of things…. anything.

Candy: That's not true! I'm sure you're good at a lot of other things.

Crme: Mmhm! I'm not really good at many things either. The only thing I'm really good at is math. Maybe you're good at math! What's the square root of five hundred and forty-six?

Fletcher: groans

Starburst: Do you even know that Crme

Crme: It's twenty-three point three six six six four two eight nine one zero nine

Starburst: ……………….

Del: Hey, I'm back. Here's the bandages

Starburst: Thanks, Del.

Candy: Here, give them to me

Del: hands Candy the bandages

Candy: Thanks! goes over to Fletcher and begins wrapping his hand Well, Fletcher, like I was saying, it's just a matter of trying different things! As someone who has done many many different jobs I know more than anyone else that there are gonna be plenty things you're bad at and plenty things you're good at as well!

Fletcher: But what if I don't find something? And being a guard doesn't work out. What will I do then? Just make arrows for the rest of my life? That just scares me.

Candy: That could scare anyone. But hey, in the event that you don't find something you're not good at and don't get into the guard, which is very unlikely, you'll always have a ton of other things going for you

Fletcher: Like what?

Starburst: You're kind, and athletic and….. handsome

Candy: Yeah! Kindness can go a long way y'know. So can a kind face. Plus being athletic puts hand on his shoulder and having such a……. toned……muscular body………… Man you are solid! pokes his muscles Anyways, you could totally be a a professional athlete

Starburst: Or an archer in the Equestria games

Crme: Or a stripper

everyone looks at Crme

Del: ………………………………… WAT

Crme: Hey, they can make good money. And he's got the look

Starburst: Um….. yeah…. I guess there's that? Probably shouldn't be you're first choice though.

Fletcher: Heh, thank you you guys.

Candy: No problem! And don't worry about it Fletcher, you are a very talented guy. You'll be successful for sure

Starburst: And you for sure won't have to be a stripper

Candy: But you wouldn't mind that now would you?

Starburst: Shut up!!!

**

Trying to make Fletcher more interesting. I thought it'd be pretty great if he was (or at least thought he was) a one trick pony. That was something I struggled with for a while (and I feel like I'm not the only one). I thought that the only thing I might be good at was drawing. And that worried me because if I didn't make it as an artist, I had no idea what I would be.

Correct my Norwegian if it's wrong. Thank you!!
