My Little Pony: Skyward Bound

The next day after it Spike and Sweetie Belle started their togetherness, Sweetie Belle had come down with a bit of a cold which Spike was more then happy to stay with her and help her recover from.

"Spike really is moving past me." Rarity said. She then sighed. "Guess this is what I get for not acting fast enough." She said to herself.

Meanwhile, across Ponyville, Scootaloo was being a little bumbed out. Not only was Sweetie Belle sick today, but Apple Bloom had to do chores today at the farm as well. "Looks like I'm on my own today. Maybe I can get a jump start on getting in the air today. Can't let down Rainbow Dash after all." Scootaloo said, and started going around on her scooter.

However, the orange pegasus filly didn't see where she was going while going so fast, when she ran straight into a pegasus colt. "Ow!" The colt said.

"Oh my gosh, I am so sorry!" Scootaloo said. "Are you okay?" Scootaloo said, recovering from the crash. She thankfully used her little wings to slow her decent in time.

"I'll be fine. I've had worse brusies then this." The colt said.

"...Say, don't I know you from school? Rumble, right?" Scootaloo asked.

"Oh. Your Scootaloo. Heh. I'm surprised you noticed me." Rumble said. "Especially since I've been sitting in the back right corner of the class all semester long." He added.

"That's where I used to sit before I met my two new friends." Scootaloo said.

"Honestly, I'm more worried about your scooter then me." Rumble said.

"It's fine. I'm used to fixing it up. Guess trying to use it to get into the air to fly today is off the table." Scootaloo said.

"You don't know how to fly yet?" Rumble asked.

"Not yet. But I'll get there." Scootaloo said.

"Hmm...maybe I can help a little." Rumble said.

"Help? I don't need--" Scootaloo said but then blinked. "...Alright, I'll let you help, but you better not get any bright ideas Rumble." Scootaloo said. "I'm only letting you help because I crashed into you." She added.

"That's fine." Rumble said. He knew how stubborn Pegasus can be. He was one after all.

"So, any tips?" Scootaloo asked.

"Would you first perhaps show me how you've been trying to get up in the air?" Rumble asked.

"Err...sure I guess." Scootaloo said. She had a feeling he was going somewhere with this, so she did just that.

"Yeah...yeah I figured. You've got underdevoloped wings." Rumble said.

"What? How can--" Scootaloo said before she went wide eyed. "You have them too?!" Scootaloo exclaimed.

"Yep. Took me several attempts, and many bruises before I finally found something that worked." Rumble said. "Try angling your wings a little more away from you." He suggested.

"Alright, I'll give it a shot." Scootaloo said. And when she followed his advice, she was in the air, flying. Actually flying. "Whoa!" Scootaloo did some flying around for a bit. Rumble was now in the air with her. "This is...this is awesome!" Scootaloo said.

"Heh. Think nothing of it. I'm just glad I was able to help." Rumble said.

"You have no idea what this means to me. This...this is more then I was ever hoping for." Scootaloo said.

"It wasn't that big of a de--" Rumble said before he was suddenly hugged while in flight.

"THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!" Scootaloo said.

"Can't...breath..." Rumble said.

"Oh..." Scootaloo let go. Rumble thankfully recovered. "Sorry about that." Scootaloo said.

"Apparently helping you to fly was a big deal..." Rumble said.

"Are you kidding? Being able to fly was one of my biggest wishes ever." Scootaloo said. "We should totally hang out sometime, but I really gotta go show this off." She said and went off.

"...She actually hugged me. I-I think she likes me now." Rumble said. "...How did I end up so lucky?" He added.

Rainbow Dash was with Match who was currently working on another device. "Huh. That thing looks a lot better then just wood." Rainbow Dash noted.

"I'm surprised how easy it was to find better materials here. None of the ponies mind that I take their spare scrap." Match said.

"We don't tend to use metal for much around here. And you best get used to the leftover metal. Ponyville often has some big monster attack at least once a week." Rainbow Dash said. "And if not that, at least something strange happen." She added.

"Really now? But this place is so rural. How can it attract monsters or strange events?" Match asked.

"Says the dragon who litterally fell from the sky because his wooden contraption burnt up." Rainbow Dash said.

"...Touche..." Match said.

"Besides, now that that's happened, I think Ponyville has already met it's wierdness quota for the week." Rainbow Dash said.

"Hey, is it just me, or is that a pegasus filly flying this way?" Match asked.

"Huh?" Rainbow Dash looked. Sure enough, Scootaloo was soon upon them. "Scootaloo...your flying!" Rainbow Dash said.

"Yeah. It's great! Best day ever!" Scootaloo said.

"Knew you could do it Squirt. I'm proud of you." Rainbow Dash said.

"I may have had a little help from a new friend." Scootaloo said.

"Heh. You'll have to introduce me sometime. Then the three of us can take to the skies." Rainbow Dash said.

"Wait, you're still gonna hang out with me?" Scootaloo asked.

"Of course squirt. Just because your flying now doesn't mean I'm not going to stop teaching you. With enough training, I'm sure we can really get you flying in style." Rainbow Dash said.

Scootaloo was practically squeeling now. "Oh that means a lot Rainbow Dash." Scootaloo said.

"Huh. Looks like her wings a underdevoloped. Wonder how she managed such flight on her own?" Match asked.

"Like I said, I may have had some help from a new friend." Scootaloo said.

"Heh. Must be quite the friend." Rainbow Dash said.

"...Yeah. Yeah they are." Scootaloo said.
