After a weird blast in the night, Diamond Tiara finds out she has wings. Her solution? Find Rainbow Dash and ask her to teach her how to fly. Which Scootaloo ultimately DISapproves of.

Diamond Tiara is knocked out of bed by a blast of magic. When she wakes up, she has wings. How did that happen, and why?

First, though, she needs to learn how to fly.

So she asks Rainbow Dash.

Scootaloo is NOT happy.

How It Began

Twilight's Castle, Ponyville.

"Twilight, are you ready yet?" asked Spike, annoyed.

"Almost, Spike!" Twilight, too, was annoyed. She was working on a very complex spell that required great concentration, and he wanted her to hurry up. "Maybe you should do it if you want it to go faster!"

"Nah, it's good!" Spike said quickly, and settled with reading a comic book in his bed upstairs.

"Alright, Scootaloo, you ready?" Twilight asked the young filly. The spell, if performed correctly, would enable any Pegasus, old or young or mare or stallion, to fly.

"Yup! I've waited my whole life to be able to fly! JUST DO IT!" Scootaloo said, screaming the last part. Twilight was so startled that her horn beam came on too early and shot out the window.

"UGH!" Twilight groaned.

"Sorry, Twilight. I guess I got overexcited..." Scootaloo muttered. "I guess I'll go now..."

"No, Scootaloo! Stay. I can recreate it, I promise!" Twilight said confidently, forgetting all about the beam that had shot out the window...

****************************************************************************************************************

"Uh... uhhhh... no... don't leave me here, not with her! Not with that blank flank!" Diamond Tiara muttered in her sleep. Her nightmare was so horrifying that she promised to herself that when she next saw Princess Luna she would give her a lecture on not torturing young fillies. That's when a blast knocked her out of bed.

"Ow!" Diamond Tiara woke up and saw that nothing had changed. "That's odd..." She decided to wake up for real after seeing an orange-and-purple filly fly out of Twilight's castle, because everypony knew that Scootaloo couldn't fly. So she got out of bed and went downstairs.

"Good morning, Mommy, Daddy, how are you to- what?" She was in the middle of her morning greetings to her family when she noticed her parents staring at her. "What's wrong?"

"Honey, are you... are you feeling alright?" asked Spoiled Rich, her mom.

"I'm fine, Mom? Why?" asked Diamond Tiara, confused. She knew that this would happen one day, that everyony would think that she was crazy for being beautiful. But not her mom!

"It's just that... well, dear, you'd better see for yourself," Filthy Rich, her dad said. He hoofed her a mirror.

"What's wrong with me?" asked Diamond Tiara. "Is a hair out of place? Is my mane not combed?" She gasped. "Am I a... blank flank?

"Oh, no, darling, nothing like that!" Spoiled Rich laughed sheepishly. "It's just that... well, look at your back." Diamond Tiara gave her mother an eyebrow raise.

"What's up with my back?" She moved the mirror to get a closer look.

On her back were two feathery wings, just like a certain orange Pegasus filly she knew, but in her coat color.

She screamed.

Calling A Certain Pegasus, and a Cute-Ciñera For A Not-Flightless-Anymore Filly

Calling A Certain Pegasus, and a Cute-Ciñera For A Not-Flightless-Anymore Filly

“What… what… how…” Diamond Tiara couldn’t speak. “What in Equestria?” She tried lifting off for the fun of it, but she crashed to the ground. Now she knew how Scootaloo felt. Diamond Tiara felt a little bit of guilt, but shrugged it off. Scootaloo couldn’t fly, neither could she. But unlike Scootaloo, she was going to learn- and do it.

Making sure to hide her new wings under a dress she had asked demanded Rarity to make her, she ran off towards the CMC Clubhouse, which was kind of underneath Cloudsdale. Hopefully, the Cutie Mark Crusaders were off trying to earn their cutie marks. Diamond Tiara put her ear to the clubhouse door. No such luck.

“So, what should we do to earn our cutie marks today, girls?” asked the unmistakable voice of Apple Bloom. Diamond Tiara groaned inwardly.

“Um… I don’t know, I was thinking we could help Fluttershy.” said Sweetie Belle’s voice.

“I thought we already did that, Sweetie Belle!” Scootaloo’s voice said, annoyed.

“We had a sleepover at Fluttershy’s and tried to earn our cutie marks in being carpenters, chicken rescuers, arguers, and… um…” Sweetie Belle trailed off.

“Well, it doesn’t matter. We have the day off anyway!” Scootaloo said. This was interesting. Diamond Tiara leaned in to hear more.

“Cause look!” There was a rubbing sound, then 2 surprised filly gasps. “I put flank paint on so you guys could be surprised! I’m having my cute-ciñera today in 2 hours!” The Cutie Mark Crusaders gasped, as did Diamond Tiara. Scootaloo got her cutie mark?

“Come on!” Scootaloo yelled, and there was the sound of hoofsteps toward the door. Diamond Tiara leaped out of the way, but it was too late. Scootaloo pushed open the door, and the two fillies stared at eachother, with Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle staring as well.

“So… what are you doing here?” Scootaloo asked, breaking the silence. “You have your cutie mark, and you’d probably sooner laugh at us then come to one of our meetings.”

“I just…” How could Diamond Tiara explain it? Then she saw Scootaloo’s new cutie mark. It was a scooter with lightning bolts in the wheels and on the back. “...wanted to see your new cutie mark!” she finished.

Scootaloo stared at her. Then she smiled confidently. “Yeah, isn’t it cool? I’ve been scootering my whole life. But it turns out that scootering plus flying for real is my special talent!”

Diamond Tiara cocked her head. “But… you can’t fly.”

Apple Bloom laughed. “Obviously you haven’t heard! Twilight cast a spell to make Scootaloo be able to fly… and she did! She got her cutie mark, and her cute-ciñera is today!”

“You can come if you want,” Scootaloo said. “Just don’t make fun of my friends like you did at your cute-ciñera. I know where you live…” She ended her question with squinty-eyes at Diamond Tiara, who started sweating.

“Please don’t stalk me, Scootaloo,” Diamond Tiara said, which made Scootaloo start laughing.

“I’m not a stalker!” she said, laughing. “It was just a threat. I’m not going to show up at your house one day and say that I’m here to kill you. I swear, that’s not going to happen. See ya at Sugarcube Corner!” And with that, Scootaloo flew off.

Diamond Tiara exhaled. The 3 fillies hadn’t even noticed her wings. She took a deep breath, and called out, “RAINBOW DASH!!!”

“We had a sleepover at Fluttershy’s and tried to earn our cutie marks in being carpenters, chicken rescuers, arguers, and… um…” Sweetie Belle trailed off.

Ok, I honestly forgot what else they were trying to earn their cutie marks in here.

Oops :)

Sorry for the long chapter title :derpytongue2:
