On a bright, sunny day, Zephyr was finishing up adjusting the wind currents of Ponyville for a light breeze across the town. It was one of the few things in life he never really got tired of, feeling strangely re-energized whenever he interacts with them. Whether it's because it was something he's done all his life or something else, not even he knew.

"Hey, Zephyr! Cloud Conduct wants us to head to the Cloudsdale Weather Factory for a quick meeting!" Rainbow suddenly flew up to Zephyr as he prepared to finish up for the day. "She said it was important."

"Huh, Cloud Conduct hardly ever calls us both in at once. Did she say what it was?"

Rainbow shook her head. "She wanted to save the explanation for when we're both there for some reason. Said it would be quicker."

"Alright, let's go now."

With the quick trip to Cloudsdale over in a flash, Zephyr and Rainbow were in Cloud Conduct's office. Spitfire was also there, much to the couple's shock. "I'm glad you two got here quickly. I was recently informed that Ponyville's highland reservoir has been chosen to refill Cloudsdale's rain cloud generator. That is why I gathered you two here, because I doubt you have enough Pegasi on the weather team to do it."

"So the plan is to recruit as many Pegasi as possible to assist with it?" Zephyr puts a hoof up to his muzzle in contemplation. "There has to be a catch somewhere, otherwise you'd have called just Rainbow about it."

Spitfire walked forward. "I figured that a little competitive spirit would be good for Ponyville Pegasi, so I'm here to measure the tornado's max wing power. As you know, the tornado needs, at minimum, 800 wing power to get the water up to the machine. There is a record for highest wing power, however, with Fillydelphia holding it at 910 wing power."

Rainbow Dash, doing her best to remain professional in the situation, raised an eyebrow. "Sounds standard, but the catch Zephyr mentioned isn't there."

"Because... I hate to say it, but Zephyr will be unable to assist you if you plan to go for a new record."

Zephyr was stunned while Rainbow was outraged. "WHAT?! WHY?!"

"Because of his unique physiology." Cloud Conduct sighed as she picked up a letter. "If it was simply about ensuring enough wing power for A tornado then it would be fine. But in the highly competitive arena of records, there will be cries of foul play if a pony with two sets of wings were to help set a new one. And don't just take it from us, I have a letter here from the Records Committee of Equestria warning us of that exact outcome."

"That's... that's just not fair to Zephyr!" Rainbow now had immense frustration over her boyfriend getting stonewalled out of participating in setting a new record. "It's not like he CHOSE to be born with two pairs of wings! It's not like he ASKED for everything bad that happened to him because of them!"

"Rainbow..." All Zephyr could do was rub Rainbow Dash on her back as she slowly broke down.

Spitfire didn't look too pleased either. "We don't like it any more than you do, Rainbow Dash, but unfortunately the court of public opinion doesn't care much for things like that. The best you can do is have him on standby in the event that the record no longer matters."

"But... but still..."

"RAINBOW!" That got a jump out of the prismatic Pegasus as she looks at Zephyr in surprise. "Don't wallow in pity because that's not your style! I get you wanted me to help you set that record, but I'm just one pony and I'm sure I can help in other ways! Ponyville is a gold mine for talent, you just need to convince and train everypony you can to smash that record to bits, okay?"

Zephyr's confident smile at Rainbow simultaneously put more pressure on her but also eased her heart. "If you're fine with this situation, then there's nothing for it. I'll head out immediately and start recruiting more Pegasi for the job!"

"In addition, there's nothing here saying he can't help with more auxiliary things like training or management. He just can't be part of the actual tornado." Cloud Conduct smiled at the duo. "Like he said, there's more ways he can help than JUST the obvious way."

"Leave it to me!" Zephyr thumps his chest with a hoof. "Never underestimate the power a support offers!" Rainbow smiles at him as the two leave the office to begin recruitment.

Cloud Conduct looks at Spitfire. "You think they'll be okay?"

"I'd think so. Rainbow Dash has gotten better since I last saw her and Zephyr has always been very supportive of those he cares about. I think the Ponyville team is in good wings."

The day after recruitment, all the Pegasi were gathered at the training fields to prepare for the tornado. Whether it's toning their legs to maintain sleekness, practicing flying, or even weight lifting with wings to build more power. All the ponies, save one missing pony, were doing their best to train up for the record.

"Stretch those glutes, Flitter!" Rainbow Dash was overseeing the training to ensure everypony was at their best.

"Uh, Blossomforth, this isn't a contortionist contest-- here let me help you get straightened out." Zephyr, true to his word, was doing his best to support where he can. Many of the Ponyville Pegasi were as frustrated as Rainbow when they heard Zephyr was basically banned from helping set a new record. It helped light a fire in their spirits to do better.

"Good pace, Thunderlane and Silverspeed! Keep it up!"

Zephyr noted one mare lifting a barbell without anypony else keeping watch over her. When her wings started shuddering, he dashed over and grabbed the weight before it dropped onto her chest. "Careful! These things can be dangerous if you don't have a spotter on hoof to help you!" He noticed everypony nearby looking at him with shocked expressions. "What?"

Rainbow looked over and nearly busted a side laughing. "Zephyr, care to stop showing off? I know your wings are bigger than average, but still!"

"Showing off?" That was when Zephyr realized he had the heavy barbell in a single wing and was lifting it without issue. Flushing red with embarrassment, he sets it down gently before clearing his throat. "As I was saying, if anypony wants to train their wings with a barbell, make sure you have a partner spot for you. That way you don't seriously hurt yourself if the strain gets too much for you."

Cloud Kicker shook her head at the display. "Guess those wings aren't big for no reason, huh?"

"Alright, ponies, if you got time to gawk you got time to train!" Zephyr attempted to spare himself any further embarrassment by getting everypony back to training. He noted Rainbow going off in a direction and decided to do his best to keep the group in line.

Eventually, when it was time to start testing for wing power, Twilight came along with an anemometer and was giving it a few test spins. Cloudchaser and Flitter had wandered over out of curiosity. "What's that machine for?" Zephyr noticed and wandered over as well.

"This is an anemometer. It measures your accelerative velocity and translates it into wing power, thus gauging your cumulative--"

"Less words, Twilight."

Twilight pouted at Zephyr. "Fine! It measures your wing strength and speed. There, happy?" That got a chuckle out of the green Pegasus before a cough was heard. "Thunderlane, is that you?! We need to keep a germ-free environment!"

"It wasn't me! It was Blossomforth!"

"Don't worry, Twilight. Thunderlane's just cooking up an excuse to spend tornado day in bed." Rainbow had arrived back on scene.

Zephyr took note of his sister arriving as well before shaking his head. "You never know,you two." Turning to the crowd he adds, "let this be a quick PSA in the event ANY of you are indeed getting sick. Take some zinc and selenium supplements to help strengthen your immune system. Extra vitamin C and D wouldn't hurt either."

"Yes, that's a great idea!" Twilight was proud of Zephyr remembering his nutritional facts for immune function. "If anypony needs those suppliments, the Ponyville Hospital has them on sale so pick some up after you're done training today!"

Rainbow rolled her eyes. "Right, anyways. Thunderlane, since you're the one who got that conversation going, how about you be the first tester?"

Thunderlane glares at Blossomforth before flying over. He measured at 9.3 wing power which was a pretty good number all things considered.

Rainbow Dash, wanting to show just how strong wing power can get, went next and clocked in at 18 wing power. Her show of speed had the unfortunate reaction of generating a strong gust of wind which blew Fluttershy away. Zephyr noticed and quickly grabbed his sister to help keep her on the ground. "T-thanks big brother."

"My pleasure!"

"You know, I'm suddenly curious." Spike had recovered from Rainbow Dash's show and had a claw on his face. "I know he can't participate, for one reason or another, but how much wing power does Zephyr have?"

Zephyr flinched when all the attention was on him. "I... don't think it would be a good use of time to--"

"Aw come on! You lifted that barbell with one wing! Everypony is curious as to how much you have!" Flitter made sure to speak for the rest of the Pegasi present.

"*SIGH* fine, I'll do it in the interest of satiating curiosity." That earned a lot of cheers and an apologetic smile from Rainbow.

While he was doing this against his will, he decided to test without using his secondary wings to keep the number more pure, with Twilight noticing it. Blowing past, he clocked in at about 14 wing power. "That's pretty good considering you're only using your primaries!"

"Just make sure you don't write that down since this was a for-fun test. Alright, everypony line up! We need to get these wing powers down!"

With everypony else done, the only one left was Fluttershy. Zephyr, as much as he had faith in his sister's wing power, also knew that her timidness might get the best of her. His worry came true as, despite her strong start, she locked up right before she passed the anemometer.

After much reluctant whispering, Rainbow flashed a nervous grin. "Uh, congratulations Fluttershy! You measured in at... uh... 0.5..."

"That's less than 1 though--" Spike swiftly got smacked in the head by Twilight.

"No, I refuse to believe that's her ACTUAL wing power." Zephyr quickly walks over. "I've sen Shy fly before and she does-- Shy?!"

Fluttershy had started hyperventilating as the foals of her past began chanting "Fluttershy, Fluttershy, Fluttershy can hardly fly!" in her head. She also felt so many eyes on her that it made her anxiety worse.

"Shy!" Zephyr quickly grabbed her and drew her into a tight hug with his primaries, pressing her ear into his chest. "It'll be alright! I'm here! Rainbow Dash is here as well!"

The warm hug, Zephyr's heartbeat, and the reassuring words were able to start calming down Fluttershy though not without some tears coming through. "I... I'm so sorry..."

"Don't be. You just don't perform well under pressure, that's all. If you need time to yourself to clear your head, we'll understand. But understand... I know for a fact you're better than you give yourself credit for."

After a short while, Fluttershy tapped Zephyr signalling she wanted to be let go. "Perhaps... I should... take some time alone first..." With that, she walked away from the training grounds.

Rainbow landed next to the brother, feeling guilty. "I know we need all the wing power we can get, but... I feel so horrible putting her through this now..."

"Give her some time, Rainbow. Like I was going to say earlier, I know she has more wing power in her but it's her timidness that's holding her back so much. That... and it looks like she was reliving something from her past."

"Oh... back when she was constantly belittled for being unable to fly as a filly..."

Despite himself, Zephyr had dull eyes of pure rage when he looked at Rainbow Dash. "I can accept bullying directed towards me, but my little sisters? Unforgivable." Calming himself back down, he sighs. "But... no sense getting enraged over it. I want to help her more, but... I don't know how..." Rainbow could only pat Zephyr on the back in a vain attempt to comfort him before the two returned to the training grounds.

Finding herself close to a lone tree near the bog, Fluttershy sat down in front of it while feelins of sheer worthlessness overcame her. Some animals gathered around her trying to cheer her up, but to no avail. Big brother and Rainbow Dash... they believe I can do so much better... but I can't...

"Big sis!"

The shout startled Fluttershy. "S-Scootaloo?"

"What's wrong?! I saw you come this way with sadness in your eyes!" Scootaloo made sure to run all the way up to her big sister.

"I-it's just... Rainbow and big brother think I can h-help them create a tornado... but... I can't... I can't fly like--"

"Who told you that?!" Fluttershy looked up and saw frustration on Scootaloo's face right before the tackle-hug. "I don't care about 'strength' or anything like that! You're the kindest pony I know and it hurts seeing you so upset!"

"Scootaloo..."

"Besides... you're worth more than I am right now." Scootaloo looks at her tiny wings with frustrated sadness. "I'm only slightly younger than Rumble... but I still can't fly. No matter how hard I try... I can't fly, period..." She looks back up at Fluttershy. "So please... don't give me that lame excuse. You're so much better-- so much cooler than that... because you're my big sis!"

Fluttershy saw the tears slowly leaking out of Scootaloo's eyes and something changed in her. All the memories of foals mocking her, all the stares she thought she felt. They all were shoved aside in the moment by the image of her little sister's tear-filled face.

Hating the image and hating herself for causing it, Fluttershy slowly began gritting her teeth. A badger chittered to her about how much she should believe in herself if her family genuinely believes in her. "No... you're right. I can do this... I CAN do this! If confidence is my greatest weakness right now... then I'll work to fix it!"

Scootaloo smiles brightly at Fluttershy as the animals began cheering. "You can do it, big sis!"

Angel came along and became Fluttershy's coach for the training. While the typical exercises were present, all the animals added an extra layer by having pony masks on hand to mimic a pony crowd watching her. Despite her initial determination, it quickly faltered whenever the masks were put on.

All throughout regular flying exercises, wing push-ups, tug-of-wars, and even dandelion puff flybys, she had initially struggled to keep going. But the entire time throughout her training:

"Big sis, keep going!"

"You're getting better, big sis!"

"I believe in you!"

Scootaloo's encouragement for her sister was what gave Fluttershy the strength to keep going, to push through her fears in the training. Slowly but surely, she became more confident until she was able to scatter an entire field of dandelion puffs even with a sea of pony masks facing her. With all her hard work, she felt ready to re-test herself again at the training grounds.

Only to feel disappointment when the anemometer registered her new number. "2.3?! After all that hard work-- all the encouragement my little sister gave me... and I still choked..."

Zephyr did his best to cheer Fluttershy up. "Going up from 0.5 to 2.3 is a major improvement, though! Most Pegasi could go through an entire day of training and only get an extra 0.2 wing power!"

"That's right!" Rainbow, not wanting to lose Fluttershy to her self-doubt again, did her best as well. "Every little bit counts when you're dealing with something like this!"

"How would you feel if everypony else was flying with 10.0 wing power and you were flying with 2.5?!" Twilight quickly kept Spike silent, but Rainbow choked on her words. "I thought as--"

"Shy, permit me to tell you a funny, yet true story." All the attention was on Zephyr as he cleared his throat. "This happened a good few years ago. Manehatten had been chosen for it's reservoir and every Pegasus in the city was called to help, just like now. The head manager had great aspirations for setting a new record, though it was a more unreasonable amount compared to Rainbow's target." That got dumbfounded looks from everypony.

"Obviously I was part of it since I was Manehatten's wind manager back then. And... what was supposed to be a glorious attempt turned into a joke for Manehatten ponies. Care to guess how much wing power we had?"

Twilight thought about it. "About 845?"

"874?" Was Fluttershy's guess while Rainbow remained silent with a scrunched look on her face like she was trying not to laugh.

"799.3 wing power. We failed by 0.7 that year. We had to get help from a Wonderbolt because we failed by 0.7, despite having twice the number of Pegasi available compared to Ponyville."

That pain was felt by every single Pegasus listening to the story, with grimaces all around. Rainbow, on the other hoof, couldn't help but finally let out her laughter. "With what I know now, I'm confident that was karma biting Manehatten ponies in the flank."

Fluttershy gave Rainbow a shocked look. "How are you so amused by that?!"

"Remember when Zephyr first came to Ponyville? Remember what he had hidden from the world for a good chunk of his life?" At those words, everypony looks at Zephyr's secondary wings much to the stallion's chagrin. "If Manehatten foals didn't torture him so much all those years, they could have avoided that horrible embarrassment."

Twilight had to bite down a snort of laughter herself. "When you put it that way... yeah they kind of did that to themselves." Zephyr didn't know how to feel because he never realized it until now.

"In fact... Zephyr, do another fly by using your secondaries this time. I'm willing to bet they would have added more than enough."

"Oh fine..."

One more fly-by and the anemometer registered a much stronger gust. "15.5 wing power. An increase of 1.5 from without his secondaries." Twilight announced, failing to contain her own laughter now. Rainbow couldn't help but look smug over it.

"Wait... then Rainbow saying every bit counts..?"

Rainbow nods as she corrects herself. "I was thinking of that exact incident. While I'm fully confident in everypony here, there's also no guarantee things will go smoothly and some ponies will have to drop out."

"With that in mind, Shy, while I understand your reluctance to help thinking it won't matter, how about a compromise? Come along to the site tomorrow as moral support if nothing else. That way, if the team barely falls short of the mark, you can be there to give them that extra push needed."

"O-okay. I can do that. But with you there, big brother, I'm sure they... what's wrong?"

Zephyr had looked away with a dull, listless look. "Aha... ahahaha... about that..."

When Rainbow told Fluttershy why he can't participate, both Twilight and Fluttershy grew furious. "WHY?! Why must they do that to my brother when he had no control over being born with two pairs?!"

Zephyr shook his head. "Sadly, like Spitfire herself said, the court of public opinion begs to differ. You know how illogical ponies become when emotions run high. As it stands, my wing power is worth exactly 0 until the record no longer matters."

Rainbow lets out a sigh. "You've done everything you can to help us, Zephyr. Now it's up to the rest of us to make up for you."

It was late the next day as the time to start the tornado approached. Fluttershy showed up as moral support like she promised alongside Twilight and Spitfire. Zephyr was in town making sure the residents knew about the tornado and to not go close to the work area.

Rainbow put on her game face as she lifted to give the ponies a rallying cry. "Are we all ready to do this for Ponyville AND Cloudsdale?!"

When Spike finished taking attendance, he noticed something bad. "Rainbow, this isn't good! Look who's missing!"

"Of course it's Thunderlane. Rumble, where's your brother? I could have sworn he was fired up to do this!"

Rumble looked down sadly. "He wanted to be here... but the feather flu got him so badly he had to be hospitalized. He thought he didn't need those supplements Zephyr and Twilight recommended."

"It's not just Thunderlane... apparently 8 other Pegasi are all hospitalized as well. However, Thunderlane and Blossomforth are the only sick ones. The rest had to be hospitalized due to overexertion."

That announcement got a grimace from Rainbow. "They were so fired up to make up for Zephyr's exclusion they overdid it..."

Twilight quickly did the math. "Oh this is looking awful now..."

"What's going on?" Spitfire, deciding to get more involved, asked Twilight as Rainbow flew over.

"With those 9 hospitalized Pegasi, we won't have enough wing power to achieve a full tornado, never mind breaking the record!"

That dismayed Rainbow while Spitfire looked shocked before shaking her head. "If push comes to shove, I'll be more than happy to help. Unlike what happened in Manehatten, you ponies have a valid reason why you couldn't reach the mark. Maybe we should have warned against pushing too hard..."

"I appreciate the offer, ma'am, but I want to save your involvement as the absolute last-ditch effort." Rainbow suddenly had a determined look. "I know the job is important, but even us in Ponyville have our pride! I have confidence in my team that we can still make it!" She looks at the town. "With the record off the table now, Zephyr's help would be great, but he's busy trying to keep the townsponies safe." A nearby filly heard that and dashed off towards town.

Fluttershy looked nervous for the team. "I... I really hope you can do it! Go team!"

"Alright, everypony! When the horn goes off we start! Let's make this count!"

With Spike blowing the horn, the Pegasi of Ponyville launched into the air, determined too make up for the absence of their compatriots. The tornado was started fine as the total wing power climbed ever closer to the 800 mark. Everypony present were pushing themselves to their limit to try and make up the difference.

But it all turned out in vain as, at a total of 784 wing power, a disaster domino effect got set off when one Pegasus got tired enough to get whipped around by the wind. Zephyr, on his way to the site after his little sister warned him of the loss in wing power, saw the disaster unfold in slow-motion in his eyes. After all their hard work... after everything we did to make this work, we've come this far just to fail?! No... NO!!!

Rainbow had found herself planted into a nearby tree, more irritated than hurt as Twilight came over to make sure she was alright. "W-we've got to try again!"

"Rainbow, you've already pushed your-- huh?!" Rainbow was about to ask why Twilight stopped talking when she saw it as well.

The water that had begun to be lifted by the earlier tornado was still spiraling in place, held up by a whirlwind. What was telling was that the wind had a light-green color and had visible 'wind strands' circling in it.

"What is-- wait, Zephyr!" Rainbow quickly rushed over to where the whirlwind was and, sure enough, Zephyr was there with his forehooves extended. While he was flying, his secondaries were open yet still and emitting the same light-green wind particles as what the whirlwind was made of. Spitfire had to remove her goggles just to make sure she was seeing what her foalhood friend was doing correctly.

Twilight teleported over to Zephyr just as a feather fell from his left secondary wing. She tried to grab it with her magic, only to react in horror as it crumbled to dust. "Zephyr, let it go! Whatever you're doing, your body can't handle the strain!"

"But... I must..! I have to TRY! I can't... let everypony's hard work... be in VAIN!" Another feather fell of and crumbled as he began straining even more.

"Zephyr... ALRIGHT, EVERYPONY, LET'S TRY THAT AGAIN! Zephyr's here and we can't let HIS own hard work be in vain either!" Rainbow's rallying cry was met with a roar of determination from the rest of the Ponyville Pegasi. Spike quickly blew the horn again as they all entered Zephyr's magical whirlwind to try again. Thanks to the boost it provided, they were able to get a head start on restarting a proper tornado.

Once there was enough wing power back in the tornado, Zephyr let go and fell onto the ground with only one feather remaining across both secondary wings. A worried Fluttershy started running over to him as best she could in the wind. "Big brother! Please rest! you did all you--"

"Not enough... it's not enough!" Zephyr, using his primary wings to get himself on his hooves, gave the tornado a glare. "The record is off the table... so nothing's stopping me from helping!" With that, he Wind Dashed up to the tornado with the action losing his final secondary feather.

Rainbow saw Zephyr contributing to the tornado and grimaced at both his featherless secondaries and his strained face. However, she made no motion to convince him to stop because it was a distraction that could lead to failure.

"Wing power at 796! Fluttershy, they need you up there! Even with Zephyr, he can't make up the difference with his secondaries featherless and his exhaustion!"

"B-but, my power of 2.3--"

"Big bro! Big sis! Rainbow Dash! You can do it, I know you can!" Fluttershy heard Scootaloo's voice from across the tornado. The filly was situated on a hill and was unaware her big sister wasn't part of the tornado.

For the first time in her life, Fluttershy wanted to look cool in front of her younger sibling and not let her down. Equipping her own goggles, she flew into the tornado to help push them over. The tornado stabilized even more and Twilight saw the reading. "799! She's doing it! she's pushing past her best!"

Both Rainbow and Zephyr took notice of Fluttershy in the group and were happy, but made sure to focus on the tornado first and foremost. Fluttershy was going good, until she started seizing up again after noticing how many Pegasi were in the tornado. Her past began to rear its ugly head again.

Fluttershy!

Fluttershy!

Fluttershy can hardly fly!

Fluttershy!

That's why I wanted you, Fluttershy! You're more important than you think!

Fluttershy!

I know for a fact you're better than you give yourself credit for!

Fluttershy can hardly--

You can do it, big sis!

NO! I refuse to let my past hold me back anymore! Big brother, Rainbow Dash, and Scootaloo, they're all depending on me! I REFUSE TO LET THEM DOWN!

"Wait could it be?!" Twilight saw the measurement suddenly spike past the 800 mark, causing the water to shoot towards Cloudsdale. "They did it! Fluttershy did it! THEY ALL DID IT!"

After the water drained, all the Pegasi landed while cheering over their accomplishment. Rainbow landed rather proudly as well, but noticed Fluttershy still circling like she was still trying to make a tornado. Rainbow promptly caught her in a cloud. "Easy there, girl! It's over now!"

"O-oh! Did we do it?"

"More than you know." Zephyr slowly came in for a landing on the cloud before collapsing onto it, clearly exhausted.

"Big brother, as much as you were needed, I can't believe you were being so reckless!" Fluttershy puffed her cheeks at Zephyr who simply rolled his eyes.

Rainbow gave her boyfriend a knowing look. "Looks like the shoes on the other hoof for being reckless, huh?"

"Oh shut it, you." Zephyr tiredly swipes at Rainbow with a primary wing, but because he didn't bother moving he was far out of reach. The action only made Rainbow laugh.

"Big bro! Big sis! Rainbow Dash! You all did it!"

"Ah, Squirt!" Rainbow moved the cloud with the siblings closer to the ground so that the excitable filly could jump on. "I'm glad you were able to make it to encourage us, especially your sister!"

Fluttershy hugs Scootaloo. "It was thanks to you I was able to push past my limits! I really... REALLY wanted to be cool for you!"

"You really were cool, big sis! I knew you could do it!" Scootaloo smiles at Fluttershy, but gives Zephyr a worried look. "What about your secondaries, big bro? They're completely barren of feathers now..."

"Eh, about two days worth of food and sleep should fix them."

"You Ponyville Pegasi are certainly something!" Spitfire wandered over with a smile. "You managed to beat the odds against you even while down 9 ponies. Most other places would've needed Wonderbolt help by that point but not you! A shame about the record, but I think the guts all of you showed was more important!"

Rainbow couldn't resist hugging the three on the cloud. "It's because of these three we made it! But full credit to the gutsiest pony I know: Fluttershy!"

With those words, the other Pegasi picked up Fluttershy and carried her back to town as a hero. Zephyr picked up a proud Scootaloo onto his back and walked after the group. "I really do have the coolest family in Equestria!"

Author's Note

I'm aware that this chapter doesn't modify the original episode much. However, I noticed that, despite it being Pegasus-centric, Scootaloo is completely absent. I decided to fix that by being not only Fluttershy's motivation to be better, but also be the one to (indirectly) convince her to get into the tornado.

Also, yes I gave Rainbow more wing power because Zephyr has been helping her train using past Wonderbolt training regimes. I figured one way to show that was to increase her wing power from the vanilla amount.
