Author's Note

This chapter is nowhere near as long as I wanted it to be, but I need to build the characters and relationships before I can add any of the fluff to make the chapters better, but I can always use ideas, and a person to look these over once in a while would make it easier for me to output the story.
But anyway, thanks for reading!
Rainboom out.

Edit: Ok, I get it, story flaws, blah blah blah, but instead of the stream of dislikes why don't you point out what's wrong instead of assuming I know, for those who don't know, I actually AM a teenager, so the advice would be useful, instead of just stomping over my project...

Chapter 3: Lessons with Rainbow
By: RD-RAINBOOMS-YOU

Circuit woke up the next day remembering his dream vividly, he smiled, Luna must have let him remember, he had forgotten she could do that. Silently thanking Luna he set out for the day to get flying lessons with Rainbow, and went to go find her. He decided to look at Sugarcube Corner first and see if Pinkie knew where Dash was. So he started his walk, and after about five minutes he ran into Pinkie, literally ran into her.

She was the first to speak, "HeyCircuithowyadoing!"

He rolled his eyes, "Hey Pinkie, have you seen Dash?"

"No, i haven't, why, whats up?"

"I need to get flying lessons from her."

"Oh, check her house on the edge of Ponyville, she sleeps in a lot, like every day."

"OK, thanks Pinkie."

"No problem Circuit!"

Half an hour later, when Circuit reached Rainbow's house and walked up to the door, unsurprisingly she was yawning when she answered.

"Hey Dash. Can you give me flying lessons?"

"Sure, meet me at the park in 30 minutes then."

Circuit went to the park and waited, and waited, and waited. And started to get bored after 45 minutes, as he got up to leave, the rainbow blur slammed into him.

"Sorry... I'm... Late." she stammered.

"It's cool, I was just waiting for you."

"OK, lets get down to business. First things first we gotta teach you balance..."

And as Rainbow was teaching him to fly, Circuit was hating his life, considering how difficult it is for an alicorn to fly, nopony blamed him. Rainbow was starting to get frustrated, she didn't know that teaching an alicorn to fly would be this hard, she had assumed that it would be like teaching a filly, but it was more like teaching Scootaloo, so nearly impossible.

"BUCK THIS!" exclaimed Circuit.

"Calm down, that's not gonna help."

Circuit slumped and his ears drooped, "But it's so bucking hard..."

"Yeah, I got that, but being grumpy isn't gonna help."

"Yeah. Okay. Let's go again."

Circuit knew that he was in love. Dash never gave up on him, she continued to help even when he was being a pain in the flank. And he loved that about her, she perfectly represented loyalty, and now he could see it. So as they continued his lessons they went through the same thing, tries, gets annoyed, quits, tries again, does better, gets annoyed, quits... and this continued until he was able to fly by himself without crashing, it took all day but his wings were finally of use to him.

"Thanks so much Dash." he said.

"No problem, dude." Dash replied.

"Also, I'm sorry for being such a pain. And I'm really grateful for you sticking with me." Circuit started to blush.

"They don't call me Loyalty for nothing." Dash said while posing.

"Yeah, I can see that, well anyway I better get back to the library, it's getting late."

"Yeah, see ya later Circuit."

So circuit headed back and let himself in, Spike ran up to him looking worried, "Your friend went missing!"

"WHAT!?"

"He just left man, I don't know where he went."

Sean was sick of not knowing his name, he needed to find out, and figured Princess Celestia could use his magical signature to find it. As a unicorn making his way to Canterlot was difficult, he had to take the train, but that meant they could find him, but there was no better way. Being fairly adept with his magical skill he was able to contact the Princess and arrange a meeting with her, he was very thankful of her willingness to help him, having good friends was very important in Equestria.

Circuit, Twilight, and Spike spent all night and well in to the morning looking for their missing friend. After looking for twelve hours straight Twilight decided it was time to contact her mentor about Sean. She pulled out a piece of paper, a quill, and began to write her letter to Celestia.

Dear, Princess Celestia,

As you know a stallion named Circuit Stringer showed up in Ponyville a few days ago, he also happened to have a friend with him, his friends name was Sean, and he has gone missing. We have been searching for twelve hours and have found no sign of Sean inside the borders of Ponyville. If you get the chance would we be very grateful for you to help us find our friend.

Your Student,

Twilight Sparkle

"There we go!" Twilight said.

"This is great, now we can find him easier!" he replied.

"Yeah the Princess is usually very good about responding to my letters."

Princess Celestia was starting to fear why Sean hadn't told his friends of his plan to see her, and now that she had gotten the letters she knew that he was scaring them. Celestia wondered why anybody couldn't tell a friend of a trip they were taking, but she decided to hold his wish and not tell them, and wait for him to arrive...

Sean arrived at the palace the next morning, his ears drooping and his eyes baggy, he hadn't been able to sleep at all on the train like he had hoped to. So as the train slowed to a halt, and he exitied the car, he stretched his legs and made his way towards the castle. As he walked he let his eyes roam, exploring Canterlot in person was like a dream come true to him after all his time of watching the show. And it was even more impressive than he imagined, with all the shops, and the homes around the city, it was one of the most beautiful things he had ever seen, the look on his face was priceless, his jaw was open just enough to tell that he was amazed by the city. So he took his time walking to the castle, he wanted to enjoy the scene while he could, the noises and smells were amazing, smells of restaurants opening for the day, sound of ponies talking, and birds chirping, it was astounding to him, the smile on his face told what it needed to, he loved it here, and was loving his time here. So Sean finally made it to the castle for his meeting with the Princess, and walked inside to see her.

"Hello Princess." he said, bowing.

"Please, call me Celestia, we are friends."

"Of course, sorry."

"No problem." she was smiling as she said this. "So why are you here?"

"When I was brought here I was never able to remember my name..."

"That is a problem... hmmm... let me trace your magical signature... And... DONE!" she said with a smile on her face. "According to this your name is Velvet Beat. That's a very nice name." she was smiling the whole time.

"Thank you Princess." Beat was beaming and had never been so happy, he would be able to spend time in public now that he knew his own name, it was the best news he had since arriving.

"Now may I inform your friends of your location?"

He had forgotten about that, "Yes, of course."

After about three hours Twilight, Circuit, and Spike got a reply from the Princess.

Dear, Student

Your friend Sean came to visit me this morning, he wanted it to be a surprise, and it will be, come to the castle tonight.

Princess Celestia

"This must be really good new to need to tell us in person!" Twilight exclaimed

"Buck yeah!" I replied

"Well let's get ourselves a train ticket there!"

A few hours later the trio arrived in Canterlot and galloped to the castle to meet the princess and hear the news. They ran through the corridors to the throne room until they saw Celestia and Sean, and he was smiling like they had never seen before.

"What's the news?" we all asked in unison.

"I FOUND MY NAME!" Sean yelled.

"Really? What is it?" Circuit asked.

"My name is Velvet Beat, but just call me beat." he said grinning.
