It was a few months since Twilight had joined the swim team and Twilight was at home where she was thinking about her swim lessons that she got from Rainbow Dash, she wanted to make sure that Rainbow Dash knew that she was thankful for all that Rainbow Dash had taught her so she went outside to go and see her friend to thank her.

As she walked to where her friend was she wondered what she was doing now that she was done teaching her how to swim, she soon got there and saw Rainbow Dash was outside of a basketball court she walked up to her. Rainbow Dash spotted her and waved to her.

"What are you doing here? I thought you would be at your place? What's going on?" Twilight asked. Rainbow Dash sat up and walked up to her so Twilight didn't have to look down at her.

"Well I was playing some basketball for a bit but now I'm taking a break, how's it going? Are you going to continue to swim now that the lessons are over?" Rainbow Dash asked, Twilight smiled.

"Yes I am going to continue to swim, I came here to thank you for the lessons, I want to thank you for helping me learn what I wanted to learn. I want to thank you for being very patient for me when I was having trouble. You helped me do something I wanted to do so thank you." Twilight said.

"No problem Twilight I'm glad that we had spent time together while I taught you how to swim and we can continue to swim together just for fun when you want to do that. I'll take time off doing sow thing just to spend time with my friends as I am the epitome of loyalty, I will always be loyal to all of my friends including you because that's what I do. How's the swim team going? Is that working out for you? Are they treating you equally like all of the other members?" Rainbow Dash asked.

"It's great, I'm moving up in the ranks and I'm now a trusted member since I started swimming with them after your lessons which was a few months ago. They saw my swimming ability was really excellent so they trust me more and they hinted that I might be a team captain some day. Yes the team members are treating me equally and I love it that I'm being treated like how any other member wants to be treated, I'm trying my best to make the team proud and I always try to help them win races as well, they also try to help me races to." Twilight said happily, Rainbow Dash was glad to hear that.

"Well I'm glad to hear that Twilight, I knew you could do it. I'm so proud of you for your enthusiasm in swimming and I'm proud of the accomplishments that you have made in swimming in general. I think you were meant to do this, I know that may seem silly but I think you were! I think deep inside you always wanted to swim but didn't know who to talk to and now since you have learned to swim your ability to do it naturally is evolving I truly believe that." Rainbow Dash said.

"Wow...thanks! I didn't know you thought I had it in me, I really appreciate that you think that about me as I would have never thought of that, I knew I wanted to swim but i didn't think that I would be good at it so appreciate you saying that. You are a great friend to say that and I appreciated everything that you did for me in order to teach me how to swim, do I get a certificate that I passed?" Twilight asked, Rainbow Dash smiled and pulled out a certificate which said that she passed.

Twilight hugged Rainbow Dash and thanked her for the certificate, she hung it up on her wall and Spike came out and congratulated her on it, he also thanked Rainbow Dash for taking the time to teach Twilight how to swim, Rainbow Dash told her that it was no big deal and that she was glad to do it.

"Thanks for teaching me Rainbow Dash, if you didn't teach me then I probably wouldn't have felt comfortable with a teacher I didn't know and I would have done bad but you taught me and had me do very well, I appreciated your patience." Twilight said. Rainbow Dash said your welcome and before she forgot she handed Twilight a present.

"It's a gift for doing really well, I hope you like it." Rainbow Dash said, Twilight opened it up and saw that it was a long sleeved barefoot wetsuit that she could wear while she swam. Twilight ripped her socks off and tried it on immediately. She walked around in her barefeet while wearing the wetsuit and she saw that it looked perfect on her. Rainbow Dash giggled

"It's a great present! I love it Rainbow Dash Thanks so much! Now I can swim in this during completions and swim with my friends and with you in it! My going to have so much fun, I'm going to have more fun when I'm swimming with you though! Do you have a wetsuit?" Twilight said, she took it off and put her clothes back on and Rainbow Dash smiled

"Your welcome Twilight your going to be a wonderful swimmer, I just know that you are going to be great! Yes I do have a wetsuit and its also long sleeve and I always swim in it barefoot! Your going to swim really well and win so many competitions that others won't win and j know this because I don't doubt your ability to be a great swimmer." Rainbow Dash told her, they hugged eachother as they were both glad that Rainbow Dash was able to teach Twilight how to swim.
