Lessons Learned

"Rise Rainbow Dash."

Rainbow Dash brought herself out of a bow and stood before the white alicorn with a multicolored flowing mane. Rainbow Dash wondered why she was summoned to the palace, and judging by the look on Princess Celestia's face, she wasn't in any trouble from her last big prank.

She had started a rumor about Pinkie Pie's cupcakes after she refused to tell what the "special ingredient" was, and then she "disappeared" for a few days. When she did check up on what was happening, she got one heck of a shock. Pinkie was on the run and everypony in Ponyville was after her saying things like, "You're a monster!" and "How could you?" It took Rainbow Dash a few hours to explain everything, but in the end all was well. Even Pinkie Pie laughed after it was all said and done. She even asked Dash to come over next week at three and help her make cupcakes, and then Pinkie promised she would show her what the ingredient was and how she got it.

"Am I in trouble Princess Celestia?", Rainbow Dash asked with a bit of a pout.

"No my most loyal subject. What makes you think that you'd be in trouble?", she asked with a warm smile.

"Nothing!", Dash quickly exclaimed.

Princess Celestia chuckled before continuing, "I have a special assignment for you Rainbow Dash."

"Anything for you Princess Celestia!", Dash exclaimed.

The Princess motioned for Rainbow Dash to follow her down the hallway on the left in her throne room. On either side of this particular hallway were paintings of all the great ponies of the past, and at the end of the hall was a painting of Princess Twilight's coronation ceremony.

Princess Celestia stopped and stared at the painting for a few seconds before turning back to Rainbow Dash and saying, "As you already know Rainbow Dash, Twilight is Equestria's newest Princess,", Rainbow Dash eagerly nodded in agreement, "which means that she has become an alicorn.", Rainbow nodded again, hanging on to every word that spilled out of the Princess' mouth, "What is needed of you, Rainbow Dash, is to help teach the newest Princess how to fly.", the Princess concluded.

"You can count on me Princess Celestia!", she said with a salute, "But uh, who else is helping me teach her?", Rainbow asked hoping that the Princess herself would be helping.

"Your friend Fluttershy will be helping you train Princess Twilight."

"Fluttershy?!", she half asked, half yelled with an arched eyebrow, "Look Princess, Fluttershy's my oldest friend, so I should tell you she couldn't teach Twilight half the things I know.", Rainbow Dash said with some pride building up.

"This maybe true, but she can teach Princess Twilight how to be graceful while in flight.", the Princess stressed the word Princess, "Something you yourself need to improve on, my loyal subject."

A picture of Fluttershy flying entered Rainbow's mind. She watched her wings rhythmically beat in slow motion. The air pushing her mane back off her face, exposing her beauty for all to see. She heard a faint giggle and watched as Fluttershy's face turn towards her and Fluttershy smiled and waved at her. She placed her hoof to her mouth and kissed it and then she blew the kiss to Rainbow. Rainbow caught the kiss and placed on her lips. She flew over to Fluttershy and placed a kiss on her lips. Soon she trailed a line of gentle kisses down Fluttershy's neck occasionally stopping to suckle her soft warm flesh. She trailed down her chest and stopped at her stomach. She began tenderly lapping her stomach and breathed in a lungful of the sultry sent being emitted by Fluttershy's marehood. Rainbow Dash decided that she needed to taste it now. She slowly positioned her hooves on either side of Fluttershy's folds and spre...

"Ahem?", the Princess said when she realized that Rainbow Dash wasn't paying attention anymore.

A blush graced the cerulean cheeks of the pegasus, and a small smile appeared on her face, "Oh, sorry."

The Princess smiled and said, "I know that this will be a new adventure for you and your friends, Rainbow Dash, but I have complete faith in you, as a mentor for Princess Twilight, and a friend."

Rainbow Dash felt the gravity of her new found position as the Princess said the word 'mentor'. It echoed through her mind again and again, as she tried to picture herself teaching Twilight.

'I bet by now that egghead has read every book in the library about flying. She's probably already read every book on the sky in general too!'

Rainbow Dash let that thought play out in her mind, and she tried to picture Twilight magically making books float around her as she craned her head one way then the next reading. She then pictured Twilight trying to fly after setting the books down and comically crashing into a pond or lake.

That's when she entered and showed Twilight the ropes. After a brief talking to with her new mentor Twilight was pulling some of the most amazing moves ever seen. Rainbow Dash walked over to congratulate her pupil. She watched as Twilight's eyes grew wide with anticipation as she approached, obviously eager to hear what she had to say.

"That was awesome Twilight! Not as awesome as me, of course, but it was still pretty awesome."

Twilight's smile grew wider and pulled Rainbow Dash into a hug, and thanked her over and over again for being the best mentor ever. Then just when Rainbow Dash was going to tell her that she had had enough, Twilight pulled her in closer, wrapped her wings around her, placed her lips on hers, as she placed her left hoof...

"Rainbow Dash?", Princess Celestia called out breaking Rainbow's chain of thought.

"Uh... yes Princess?", Dash with a nervous smile as she realized that she was sweating a little

and blushing.

"Will you undertake this endeavor?"

Rainbow Dash bowed down, "Yes Princess. I will gladly teach Princess Twilight and Fluttershy all sorts of new things.", she said with a small smirk to herself.
