Ignorence and Grudges

"Right, Scootaloo, you need to strengthen your wings" Lightning Dust told the young filly "Try some press ups"
she got down on the ground and gestured for the other Pegasus to do the same, Lightning lowered herself, and pushed herself back up, Scootaloo copied, she felt the burn already!

"Like this?" The filly asked red faced, she stopped, and sat down, brushing her wings, and flaring them out.

"Ya got it!" said Lightning smiling "Try some sit ups, copy me" she sat down one the emerald grass and carefully laid down, she put here hooves to her head and pushed herself up, she fall back down again. " Your core needs to be strong as well" she stated scientifically.

Scootaloo got down on the ground and sat on her flank, she lowered herself to the floor and put her hooves to her head, she pushed up with great difficulty, she collapsed back into the soft, grassy ground beneath her and breathed heavily, sweet cascading down her orange fur to her brow, she wiped it off with determination and went out it again.

"Wow Scoots! You must be determined to fly!" Lightning Dust recognised with amazement, she put a hoof on Scootaloo and they both sat up panting.

"Did I do good? Do you think I'll be able to fly?" The filly asked excitedly.

"Whoa, calm down there! I've only given you one lesson, practise makes perfect remember?" The older pegasus said with a smile, looking down with big, shining eyes.

Scoots looked up at her with equally wide lilac eyes "Oh yeah" She replied, she was kind of disappointed but knew her knew teacher was right.

"So Scoots you up for another lesson?" Lightning asked the eager pony.

"Are you kidding? Of course!" She shouted back excitedly.

"How about tomorrow? After you finish class?" Lightning Dust asked her student.

"Yeah! That sounds great! The filly beamed back at her new hero.

"Okay! Tomorrow it is! You want me to take you home? Scootaloo paused, Rainbow Dash never offered to take her home ever! Did she not really care for her all those years?

"That would be nice! If that is okay and all?" She asked shyly.

"Why of course! Why would I offer if it wasn't?" Lightning smiled down at the younger pony "Come on its getting dark, show me the way!"

Scoots started down the path, Lightning trotting next to her.
Lightning Dust was perfect!

And awesome!

And her hero!

And the big sister Scootaloo always wanted.
