Swim Lessons

Twilight and Rainbow Dash arrived at the center together, Twilight ran up to her friend and they hugged eachother, after greeting eachother they went to the locker rooms and got into their swimwear and then went back to the pool and Twilight smiled enthusiastically.

"Your a bit eager today because I can tell that you are, I'm glad your showing excitement for these lessons, it makes me happy that your enjoying them and it makes me happy that you are doing very well." Rainbow Dash exclaimed. Twilight smiled as she felt so proud for all she had done in the lessons. Twilight smiled.

"Although the lessons are almost. The only thing I'm going to do is have you swim by yourself as I observe, you have to remember everything I taught you, and after that you can join the swim team. Understand? It won't be hard I'm going to go over everything you have to do and after you do this you will pass my class and then you can sign up for the swim team." Rainbow Dash said

"I understand! I'm ready to do this! Let's do this now!" Twilight said, she knew that it would be embarrassing to swim in the pool by herself as Rainbow Dash watched her but she was ready to get this done as well. She knew that she had to so it. Rainbow Dash reviewed everything that they had learned.

Twilight listened closely as Rainbow Dash spoke to her about what to do and how to do each stroke, she was so nervous about swimming under Rainbow Dash's observance but she was determined to do anything to join the Ponyville swim team. Soon it was time.

"Alright Twilight this is it, get into the pool repeat everything I have taught you, I know your nervous so if you need me I'll be right here to help you if something goes wrong but other than that you are on your own, you have to do this part by yourself, I can't help you or that would be cheating. Now start swimming." Rainbow Dash said.

Twilight walked over to the pool and got in, she gulped and looked over to Rainbow Dash who told her at she could do it, she got in and looked at the water as she tried to calm her breathing, once she calmed her breathing she began to swim. Her heart was beating hard as she was so nervous.

She worried she would mess something up, she had to do everything perfectly or she would fail the test and she would have to wait a year to join the swim team as she did the lessons all over again, she knew that she couldn't let that happened.

Twilight became very determined as she did each stroke that she had learned, she kept her breathing from becoming to erratic as she swam through the water, she took a quick peek at Rainbow Dash who was watching her and writing down all of the stuff she was doing right and all of the stuff she was doing wrong, she hoped that she wasn't doing to bad.

She continued to swim with a determined expression, she was going to succeed and join the swim team even if she had to strain her muscles in the process, her body was getting soaking wet as she swam in a quickened pace, when she did the butterfly stroke she splashed water everywhere but she didn't care.

She wondered what Rainbow Dash was thinking at that moment, was she seeing her make to many mistakes so she could tell her that she failed or was she proud? That was the question that she was afraid to get an answer for. She was failing, she felt so ashamed of herself.

She finished swimming and got out of the water with a look of despair on her face she angrily ran to the locker room and sobbed loudly.

She could never pass the lessons and she could never join the swim team now, she would have to repeat the lessons all over again as she sobbed Rainbow Dash walked up to her slowly. She noticed her.

"I'll never be able to join the swim team now! I failed! It's all my fault, I let you down and it's all my fault! I'm a terrible student!" Twilight cried, Rainbow Dash took something out.

"Twilight look." Rainbow Dash said, Twilight turned around and saw Rainbow Dash walk up to her, she handed her a certificate, she read it and she was thrilled the certificate said that she passed, she was shocked, she thought that she had failed.

"I....passed?" Twilight asked with shock. Twilight looked at Rainbow Dash and she nodded with a huge smile and she told Twilight that she was very proud of her. Twilight jumped up and hugged Rainbow Dash. She was so happy she felt silly for worrying about nothing.

"You can now join the swim team Twilight, I'm so proud of you, their was no need to worry either, you left before I could say anything and then you assumed that you failed. You got all upset over nothing!" Rainbow Dash said, Twilight chuckled an embarrassed chuckle.

"Thanks Rainbow Dash I can't wait to join the swim team!" Twilight said, they both hugged and then they went to celebrate somewhere and after that they both went home, Twilight couldn't wait to join the swim team, her dream was about to come true, she told all of her friends and they all congratulated her, they even swam with her later on the next morning for fun.

They told eachother that hey can continue to swim with eachother whenever they wanted and they all liked the idea of that, they all went home and Twilight updated Spike on how her swim lessons with Rainbow Dash were going as she told him before about what was going on in her swim lessons and he told her that he was proud of her. Spike told him he was excited for her. They talked for a bit more and then they hung out together as Twilig looked forward to tomarrow.
