Sunshine was no slouch when it came to training and exercising. Ask all of the Dreamers who lived, or spent most of their day, in the Overlook, and they would confirm: Sunshine exercised and trained five days a week, with each session lasting anywhere between an hour or two.
On this day, Sunshine was currently alone in the training room. She never wore her mask while training, but she was comfortable with her comrades, and trusted them enough to share her identity as Princess Aurora (though she still went by Sunshine most of the time in the Overlook). Sunshine was attired in a turquoise blue tank top, fitted for exercising, and black shorts with thin white lines on the sides. She had ran around the Overlook earlier, but now she focused on one-armed push-ups. With her right hand firmly pressed against her back, she made continuous, unfaltering push-ups with just her left hand. She made her push-ups in a direction where she could see anyone who entered the training room by simply looking up.
As she exercised, she had music playing (courtesy of the MCP) that alternated between opera and classical music. She loved many genres of music, but those two were her favorites. She had a particular fondness of Tchaikovsky...

Another member of the Dream League, Star Pup entered the training room as well. She figured she'd do some more training with her ring power. She blinked as she saw Sunshine training and decided to watch her train. "Might as well watch." She said to herself as she sat down and watched Sunshine train

Legacy Buck trotted after Star Pup. He knew he needed to work on his powers, because he wasn't sure if Ronno was a villain or not, but he had to be ready. "I'll watch with you." the buck said to the pup. He hoped Faline was doing alright without him, and he prayed Ronno wouldn't try to steal her. He smiled at the pup as he stood beside her.

Star Pup looked up to see Legacy Buck standing beside her, her tail wagged a bit. "Come to train too?" She asked Legacy Buck

Legacy Buck nodded. "Indeed I have, little friend. I never know when I might be reunited with an old friend of mine. I just can't afford to take chances." he said as he thought about Ronno. He hated the other buck, because he tried to steal Faline from him.

"Oh?" Star pup asked looking up at Legacy Buck, she wondered whom he was talking about, whomever it was, he sounded like it was somebody he really cared about. Her tail wagged some more as she turned her attention toward Sunshine whom was training still

It was about this time that Powermouse made her entrance. As opposed to her stole and muff, this time she donned more appropriate wear: a mouse-sized violet tank top and matching leg warmers. Powermouse preferred to simply go by Bianca while in the Overlook. As she didn't bother wearing a mask to disguise her face while out on missions (she was a mouse, she really wasn't all that worried about having her house blown up or something), she had no issue with the other Dreamers knowing her real name. Truth be told, all of this superhero stuff was still rather odd to her, even though she was an experienced Rescue Aid Society agent. She briefly paused to listen to music playing over the loudspeakers, shutting her eyes with delight. She loved the opera; the singing was so moving and elegant to her ears!
Looking around, she could see that she wasn’t the only one who wanted to get some training in today. The mouse walked on, stopping for a few minutes to watch Aurora -- oh no, not Aurora, Sunshine, she reminded herself -- do one-armed push-ups. Quite impressive! Bianca then made her way over to the training mat. Bianca was fit enough, but she wasn't as athletic as Sunshine was. She did not want to get lazy and rely on her Powersuit to save her all the time, and that’s why she was here. She would do some sit-ups, cruches, maybe some jogging...
Realizing that two of her younger teammates, who she had noticed earlier, were standing around and not really doing much of anything, Bianca suddenly had an idea. Approaching the young deer and dalmatian, she waved up at them. "Hello there! I’m Bianca. And who might the two of you be?"
After learning their names, Bianca beamed at her fellow superheroes. "Well, it’s a pleasure to meet you. Are the two of you here to train, or are you just going to stand around on the sidelines?" Her voice held a playful, friendly challenge to it. "Come on, let's see how well we can work as a team in the sim room." She pointed over at a door that led into another room. This room was otherwise known as the Simulation Room, and contained computers that controlled high-tech holograms that simulated various combat situations and the like. "It'll only take me a minute to fetch my Powersuit." She added.

Bolt was busy training as he had one goal on his mind: Saving Penny!!! He had to.... he had done it several times on thier TV show.... but now.... he finally realized he actually had superpowers. His show was basically a test and now he knew what he had to do in times like these. He had to search for Penny and get her back no matter the cost.....

Legacy Buck smiled as he nodded. "It's okay, we can wait." he said to the mouse. This was nothing like the forest back home, but he liked it here. He stood close to Star Pup as he kept his gaze on Powermouse. He was half-glad Ronno hadn't gained any powers, and stayed in the forest.

"Yeah, we don't want to intrude on somebody else's training." Star pup said to the mouse as well, she wondered about the possibility of the other dalmatians gaining super powers like she and Green Bone did. The thought was in her mind for a second before she resumed watching

"Forty-eight," Sunshine counted under her breath. Her counting was completely accurate; she was just about to finish her fiftieth one-armed push-up. That is, the fiftieth of her left arm; she had already done fifty with her right arm. Balance was crucial, and she insisted on giving both of her arms an equal amount of attention. After all, her arms and hands were the most dependable weapons she had. As powerful as Sunray could be, it's impossible to depend on it all the time. That is why Sunshine wanted to exercise her arms (as well as her legs) often. She never intended to show off or be arrogant with her one-armed push-ups, she was much too modest for that. No, she just had to exercise, to train, to be in her best physical condition at all times, because at any given moment, she would have to protect the lives of innocent people, saving the world, fighting destructive villains, and so on.
"Forty-nine." Just one more! "Fifty!" Sunshine exhaled and rose to her feet. Satisfied with herself, she smiled onto her arms, as though she were congratulating her muscles for what she so often had to subject them to. She examined her arms, and clenched her fists tightly. Her smile warmed, she felt great! She picked up the pink towel that rested next to a water bottle on the mat, and she dabbed the perspiration that blanketed her temple with the feminine cloth. She even sweated like a beautifully graceful princess.
She sighed happily and invited herself to speak to her animal comrades. Sunshine--Aurora--was highly fond of Bianca, the eternally feminine, playful, and kind mouse. Sunshine, who was actually quite shy and sometimes reserved, wished she could have been as consistently open as Powermouse.
Sunshine wasn't so familiar with the Star Pup and Legacy Buck, the Dalmatian puppy and the deer, respectively. But therein lied the beauty; that meant she had to talk to them and get to know them. It didn't faze Sunshine that the only company she had in the training facilities at the time were animals, because she loved the fauna, great and small.
Sunshine wore the pink towel over her neck, and the ends of the towel drooped over her shoulders, toward her chest. Sunshine may have looked like she just made one-hundred one-armed push-ups, fifty per hand, but she still wore her trademark compassionate smile with a royal grace. It was not a coincidence that Sunshine had a sunny disposition.
Sunshine entered the conversation with a dainty, "Well!" She minded her right knee and knelt beside the cluster of animals, to be closer to Bianca and the Star Pup, and also to have a better conversation with Legacy Buck. "I'm sorry I didn't say hello to all of you. I was slightly busy, but I'm done now. Hello!" She giggled and her violet eyes glistened. Unmasked, Sunshine was truly gorgeous... at least, to humans.
Sunshine thought she heard a noise. She looked to her left and saw another animal training: the white German shepherd. She also didn't know too much about him (really, of everyone in the room, Sunshine only knew Bianca on a comfortable level), but she also longed to know more about him. She wanted to speak to him, and was about to, but she remembered her own training, and how much she focused on her workout instead of talking to the others. And so she let him be, but she made a mental note to approach him and talk to him when he finished.
She returned her focus to the mouse, dog, and deer, and smiled.

"Hey there, I'm called Legacy Buck." the young deer spoke. He wasn't sure if he wanted to reveal his real name. He smiled as he stood next to Star Pup. He enjoying being with Star Pup, because she wasn't like other dogs he had seen. He was also content, knowing Ronno wasn't out to get him just to get Faline.

"Very well, then." Bianca respected the dog and deer's decision, even though she didn't really quite understand exactly what they were waiting for. Sunshine was over there doing push-ups, and the white German shepherd (who she didn't recognize, unfortunately) was doing his own thing. The three of them would have been in an entirely separate room that was closed off from the rest of the Training Room, so it wasn't like they would bother the other superheroes or be in their way.
"Perhaps another time then?" She added, hopefully glancing between the two.
Perhaps Legacy Buck and Star Pup weren't here to train at all, but just really wanted to talk and hang around one another. There was nothing wrong with that of course, but Bianca would've picked a more appropriate place like the Common Room to relax.
Bianca waited patiently for Legacy Buck to introduce himself before she addressed Sunshine herself. "Hello darling. I would've greeted you when I came in, but I didn't want to interrupt. I must say, I think you're one of the few Dreamers who can do fifty one-armed push-ups. I think I'd faint if I ever tried such a thing!" She laughed softly.

The graceful teenager was already humbled by, whom she considered, an even more graceful woman. True, she was a mouse, but she was just as human in Sunshine's eyes. In the time that she knew Bianca, Sunshine was already highly fond of the mouse's Hungarian accent. The voice was charismatic and filled with personality. Sunshine was quite taken with the mouse, and she was happy to have started developing a friendship with her, as she was with all of the Dream League (although some members were less open than others).
Upon hearing Bianca's compliment and soft laugh, Sunshine felt her cheeks warm, a cluster of pink surfacing on the skin. She blushed softly, and her ruby lips offered a shy smile. "Thank you, Bianca. You're very sweet."
After a pause, her cheeks returned to its normal, fair-skinned color, and her smile changed as she thought of an idea that excited her. "May--may I please train with you? It would be so fun to have a partner!" Still kneeling, Sunshine looked from Bianca to the Star Pup, and then to Legacy Buck. "You could join, too!"
Sunshine was on her way to the group as the deer and puppy declined Bianca's offer, and so she didn't know that they answered as such. She didn't hear them, so she was very unassuming in her question. While Sunshine did her push-ups not far away from the group, she was busy concentrating and counting to herself, so she didn't eavesdrop on the conversation.

The Balloonist had intended to enter the training facilities. He wanted to keep in shape by exercise that wasn't too hard, but wasn't exactly a pushover, either. He stepped inside the room, expecting to find himself in the appropriate room. What he did not expect to see, however, was Sunshine tending to many different animals. Sunshine was the only human inside the room, and with all the animals surrounding her, he got confused. He awkwardly waved his hand at the group, mostly to Sunshine.
"Sorry! I thought this was the training room, not the kennel."
He hastily turned and left the room. He would search for someone else to tell him where the actual training room was.

Bianca's attention was caught by the older man who suddenly entered the room then left. She recognized him as the Dreamer known as the Balloonist, but they hadn't interacted very much. A mouse with a shorter temper would've taken offense as his comment, but Bianca shrugged it off. He didn't sound as though he was being sarcastic. It would seem that he wasn't familiar with all of the Dream League's non-human members. This could be a good opportunity to get to know the Balloonist, and introduce him to Legacy Buck and Star Pup!
Leaving Aurora with the other two animals, but not before pardoning herself, she ran after him (she wished she had bought her powersuit, as she could've caught up to him much faster). "Hello! Oh please sir, you have did the right room!" She shouted after him, waving while she did. Oh dear. Would he even hear her tiny voice?

The Balloonist stopped when he heard a voice. It was very lucky that he heard the voice, considering that his hearing was so bad that he required a hearing aid (it was affixed in his right ear). The old human looked back and then down to the mouse. She said that the room was the training facilities. The Balloonist's face relaxed as he replied to the mouse.
"Oh. Well, then I'll head back." He smirked at the mouse. Ellie wasn't like other women, who were terrified of mice; she loved them. The widower knelt on his right knee, and he gripped said knee to keep sturdy as he lowered himself. He held out an open palm for Bianca, offering to carry her back to the training room. "Do you want me to take you back?" he offered politely.
