Who is Dusk Chaser?

"Wake up my little ponies!" greeted Rose Heart. Dusk only groaned, as he still wanted sleep. Celestia and Luna were still sleeping soundly, both cuddled up tighter to Dusk. "Come on now, don't you three want to learn how to fly?" asked Rose.

"FLY?!?! WE'RE LEARNING HOW TO FLY?!?!" shouted Dusk in the ROYAL CANTERLOT VOICE (Which the three foals knew since birth). For some reason, this failed to wake up the Princesses. "Lulu, Tia, wake up," said dusk giving each a slight nudge with his snout, "today is our flight lessons!'

"Huh? flight? *yawn* okay." said Celestia nudging Dusk the same way he did to wake her up.

"Fwight? buwt iw'm *yawn* stiwll sweepy," said Luna.

"Come on Lulu, if you dont wake up, I'll carry you all the way there." said Dusk.

"Then you better start carrying then." said Luna.

"Fine then," said Dusk as he carried the half asleep Luna on his back, "Hold on". And with that Celestia and Dusk, with Luna over his back, walked out of the room, to the FFFTS.

The Filly and Foal Flight Training Space or the FFFTS was the place where all ponies with a membership train to fly. It is a very exclusive training place and only royalty, delegates, or any other important ponies can train there. Ponies there are trained by none other than Night Frisk (Who used to train pegasi in Cloudsdale in the first place).

As soon as Celestia, Luna, and Dusk arrived they were greeted by not only Night Frisk, but also their father. "Dad?!? What are you doing here?" asked Celestia.

"Oh nothing, I'm just going to help out in your flight training." replied King Moonlight.

"Shall we get started?" asked Night Frisk.

"Sure thing pa," said Dusk, "Where do we begin?"

The basic FFFTS training regimen starts with wing flapping. This eases out the wing muscles to prevent cramps.

"We begin with wing flapping." said Night Frisk, and with that, everypony gently flapped their wings.

"This is easy!" said Luna.

"Yeah, is this all flying takes?" asked Celestia

"Of course not!" said King Moonlight.

The next step is wing-ups. This is the easiest way to build up wing strength.

"Next we have wing-ups." said King Moonlight demonstrating how wing-ups are done. As the foals watch, they start to copy King Moonlight and Night Frisk's actions.

"This is hard." said Dusk, struggling to do a wing-up, with slight pain in his wings due to his wing problem.

"What are you talking about, this is easy." said Celestia.

"Yeah, didn't you just carry me all the way here Dusk?" asked Luna already doing her tenth wing-up.

"Yes, but I didn't need my wings." replied Dusk, already on his second wing-up.

"You can stop if you want son." said a slightly worried Night Frisk.

"Wait, one last." said Dusk, doing his final wing-up.

"So, the numbers are in," said King Moonlight, "Celestia did the most wing-ups with 50."

"Luna did 25 wing-ups," said Night Frisk, "and son, you did 5." Celestia and Luna were trying to stop a laugh, only to end up snickering. "It's ok son, you might do better in the nest step." said Night Frisk trying to comfort his son.

The next step is weight lifting. Foals start of with the lightest weight available, a 200 lbs. weight. This is roughly 1.5 times their weight. This will boost their wing strength enough for flight.

Luna easily lifted the weight 10 times. Celestia also did the same feat. However, Dusk was only able to lift it half of that, doing only 5 lifts. Again Celestia and Luna tried to stop a laugh, only to end up snickering. Again, Night Frisk tried to cheer up his son.

"Anyway, lets go to basic flying." said Night Frisk.

Each foal had to fly 10 meters high. This was the easiest flight test. If a pony can fly over the marker, flying would become easier and easier. Celestia went first. She was able to fly above the marker. She flew roughly 15 meters high. Luna went next. She was able to fly roughly 12 meters high. Dusk was next. "I don't wanna." said Dusk, unsure if he could do the task.

"But you were the most excited about flying." said Celestia.

"Yeah but..." said Dusk.

"Dusk, Trying something and failing is better than not trying, ponies can learn from mistakes but not from victories, If you try and fail, then you can learn from it, if you don't even try, then you are a real coward!" said Luna.

Dusk hesitated for a moment, but decided to try anyway. Dusk flew 1 meter, 2 meters, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9... unfortunately, just before reaching the 10 meter mark, Dusk's wings gave up on him. "You'll do better next time." said King Moonlight. Everyday, training continued. Everyday, Luna and Celestia did better and better. Dusk on the other hand remained at the 9 meter mark.

5 months have past since they started training. This was it, it was time for the foals'first flight. Each foal was to fly from the training space, all the way to the end mark at Cloudsdale, which was 25 meters far. "Okay kids, on your if you don't make it to Cloudsdale, you'll have to try again next year." said King Moonlight explaining the rule for new flyers.

"On your marks." said Night Frisk, starting the test. "Get set, GO!" And with that, the foals started to fly. So far everypony was fine, the had just past the 5 meter mark. Everypony was speeding up. They were approaching the 10 meter mark, Dusk was unsure if he could make it. He kept flapping. Everypony past the 10 meter mark. Dusk beat his past record. The foals finally reached the 20 meter mark, Dusk was feeling intense pain right now.

"Luna, Celestia, go on ahead, I'll catch up."said Dusk feeling the pain from his wings.

"Are you sure?" asked the two sisters.

"Yeah."replied Dusk. and with that, the two sisters flew ahead of Dusk, passing the 25 meter mark, reaching Cloudsdale. Dusk was struggling with flying, he had already passed the 24 meter mark. His wings could give up at any moment.

"Only one meter more." cheered Luna and Celestia. *flap* *flap* *flap* *flap* *flap*

"Arrrrrghhhhh..." screemed Dusk whose wings start to cramp. *flap* *flap* *flap* *flap* *flap*

"Come on, you're almost here." said Luna trying to encourage her friend. Struggling on the last few flaps, Dusk started to pass out. Only 5 flaps more. *flap* *flap* *flap* *flap* Suddenly, Dusk passed out.

"Son, wake up." said a proud Night Frisk. Soon Dusk regained consciousness.

"D-did I M-m-make it?" asked Dusk.

"Yes son, yes you did." said Nigh Frisk. After that, everypony went back to the palace. They decided to celebrate. The three foals just learned how to fly.
