Fluttershy: Oh, Rainbow Dash, I just can't do it! I can't fly!

Rainbow Dash: What are you talking about? Just last week, you went into that wicked nosedive to save a falling baby bird right before it hit the ground.

Fluttershy: But that was different! That was an emergency, but this whole tornado thing, it's more like a performance. And you know how I hate performing in front of others. Don't you remember Flight Camp? I couldn't gallop hard or fly fast. Not with everypony looking at me.

Rainbow Dash: It wasn't that bad.

Fluttershy: You're right. It wasn't bad. It was horrible! [Fluttershy flash backs to practicing in Flight Camp, with her wings locking up after the coach nudges her off the cloud platform. She crash-lands into the clouds below] All the other foals used to tease me... a lot!

Foals: Fluttershy! Fluttershy! Fluttershy can hardly fly!

Fluttershy: [flashback ends] I just can't risk that sort of humiliation again!

Rainbow Dash: Suck it up, Fluttershy! This is no time for- I mean, confidence or no confidence, I'm going to need every pegasus to practice in order to break the record, including you. I'm gonna need all the wingpower I can get.

Fluttershy: [sadly] I don't think so, Rainbow Dash.

Rainbow Dash: [disappointed] Thanks anyway.

Fluttershy: Wait! I'll do it.

Rainbow Dash: [perks up excitedly] You will?

Fluttershy: I will.

Rainbow Dash: You're game?

Fluttershy: I'm game.

Rainbow Dash: [scooping Fluttershy up in a hug] All right!
