It was a beautiful day in Ponyville, the sky was clear, the grass was green and soft, and the random flash mob was singing a catchy song. But one specific princess was more of less panicking about said day. This princess was none other than Twilight Sparkle, the one that lives in a tree.
"Wake up Twilight, it's time to leave!", said Spike.
"I can't, I'm sick!", replied Twilight, with a less than convincing cough.
"You and I both know alicorns don't get sick Twi."
With a sigh, Twilight left bed and got ready for her flight lessons, coached by the most loyal friend and best athlete in all of Equestria, Rainbow Dash. Honestly, thought Twilight as she was walking to Sweet Apple Acres, it could be a lot worse. Like if Discord and Chrysalis were coaching her. That would be bad. Then, lost in thought, she bonked her head on a fence post.
"Hey! Twilight! Over here!", screamed a rainbow haired pegasus from a open field. Twilight trotted over no longer feeling the bump on her head do to her new healing princessy magical abilities. After they greeted each other, an orange filly walked over to see what a princess was doing in a field with a Rainbow Dash in a green hat and a whistle.
"Oh, uh, hi Princess.", said Scootaloo, bowing her head.
"Please don't. Just call me Twilight, we're friends.", said Twilight.
"OK."
"Shall we get started?", asked Rainbow Dash, breaking the silence.
"Why not?", replied Twilight, already trying to get off the ground.
"What on Earth are you doing? You need to build up wing strength, you weren't born with wings."
After that was cleared up, Twilight started wing-ups, and Scootaloo wandered off in search for Applebloom, thinking about how Twilight shouldn't be complaining about not knowing how to fly, because at least she could fly , and didn't have underdeveloped wings like hers.
"Hi, blank flank!", said a chorus of voices that were all to familiar.
"Hello, Wannabe and Lackey.", replied Scoot.
After that friendly greeting, Diamond Tiara and Silverspoon decided to ruin the tomboy's day. "So, I see you still can't fly, unlike the one over there who just got her wings and more time in the air than you ever will.", said Diamond Tiara, walking off laughing.
This left Scootaloo questioning her usefulness. "I can, uh, I, I, I know Kung Fu! No, I don't, I can ride a scooter, but that's not useful...", so she did what any pony would do at a time like this, she ran home, wanting to escape to the world of comics, but also planning on how to ruin Twilight's flying lessons.
