Windy Whistles and Posey Shy sat together on a bench in Ponyville Park. They were sharing pleasant stories as they watched over their fillies.

Rainbow Dash flapped her wings really fast that made her do a really awesome flip. She did it again and again. After the fifth one, her wings were hurting so she floated back down to where Fluttershy was waiting. Well, her friend was actually hiding under a bush, but she was watching.

"Howzzat!?" Rainbow asked with a big smile.

"It was very cool." Fluttershy whispered with big eyes.

"Is not cool! Is awesome!"

"Oh. Sorry. I meant awesome." Fluttershy nodded, before curling more into a ball.

"No no, is awesome!"

"Awesome." Came the quiet reply.

"Awesome!"

"Awesome."

"Awesome!" Rainbow didn't wait for the next reply, she just sat down. "M'tired. And hot. Howabout you, Fluts?"

"...I want to go home." She disappeared more into her bush.

"Woah." A surprised voice startled Rainbow and Fluttershy. Fluttershy squealed and shook very fast, causing the entire bush to shake. Rainbow instead dashed in front of the bush and prepared to fight. Nopony messes with her friend! "Sorry. I didn't mean to startle you. I was just, so surprised."

Rainbow stopped being prepared and looked at the weird colt before her. He was big, but not as big as an adult. He also had wings! And blue, like her. He did not have a rainbow mane though. Rainbow smiled at that and shook her mane a little.

"What this dork is trying to say, not bad rookie." A yellow pegasus walked out behind him. The filly looked to be the same age as the colt. But she looked so much awesome-er than him. She had those dark glasses and a cool trot. "We saw your little stunts, pretty impressive for a filly your age. Say, why don't you show us more?"

That snapped Rainbow out. "Yous liked my tricks!?" She giggled a little. This awesome filly complimented her! "I can show yous more. Checkit!" She looped again, flapped upward, dove forward, stretched her wings before impact, then did another loop. "Howzzat!?"

"Not bad, not bad." The yellow filly nodded with a smile. "But you lack refinement and control. You have decent strength in those puny wings, but it's still not enough. Watch and learn, kid."

She pushed off the ground with a big whoosh. The blue colt and Rainbow watched as she did barrel rolls, around the worlds, cramped wings, Ryder maneuvers, and even a touch the sun and sea. She then landed in front of Rainbow with a big smile. Rainbow and the blue colt cheered loudly, stomping their hooves on the grass.

"Beat that, kid. If you dare." Rainbow frowned. There was something in her voice that she didn't like. She did not like it at all.

"Fine." She flapped her wings really fast that kicked up dirt. Rainbow flapped them harder and had the wind swirl the dirt around her. She then started to turn in place, faster and faster. The world spun, but this was nothing. Rainbow's head swam, but she needed to do this. She needed to show her that she's awesome too!

The dirt around her cycled so fast that it became a blur. There were some noises outside, but the wind made it hard to hear. Okay, time to stop. Rainbow slowed her wings, but the wind and dirt was too fast. Her tail got stuck in the dirt whirlwind and because of how dizzy she was, she couldn't do anything but get thrown about by her own whirlwind.

"Wooaaaaahhhhhhh!" She cried out. The world spun too fast and her head and wings hurt too much. Dirt got into her mouth and the air pressure made it very difficult to breathe. She started coughing and heaving, at the same time she was being dragged in circles. "Heeeelp!"

Tears started forming as she saw no way the whirlwind would stop. Before she could start really crying, the whirlwind stopped almost immediately. Rainbow was thrown forward but crashed into something soft. Through blurry eyes, she looked up and saw her mom. It happened so fast, but now she was safe. She started sobbing heavily, both from relief and also from trying to breathe again.

"Shhh. I've got you, I've got you." A warm hug and her mom rubbing her wings along Rainbow's back lulled her to an exhausted sleep. After she made sure her daughter was at peace, did she stand up and face the two foals staring at her with wide eyed expressions. "Alright, who did it?"

They stood there, trembling. Obvious fear was on their faces, but Windy Whistles was on a warpath and she would not take silence for an answer.

"Answer me! My beautiful foal almost got hurt! Who did it!?" She glared at them with all the righteous fury a mother could muster, but before she could smite them down, a small hoof tugged at her. She looked down and saw the scared face of Fluttershy. "Fluttershy?"

"You...you're squeezing Rainbow." She stammered out before scampering off to her own mother.

Windy looked down and saw to her dismay that she was in fact squeezing her foal. Rainbow was awake and was looking at her with scared eyes.

"Oh...oh my precious foal. I'm sorry. I didn't mean that." She gripped her daughter with a more loving embrace and rubbed her back again rhythmically. After a few seconds of the calming gesture, she too started to feel calm. She took a deep breath and silently scolded herself. After a moment, she turned to face the terrified foals. "I'm sorry for yelling at you. Knowing my daughter, she was probably at fault too." She sighed heavily. "Go home and try not to rile little foals like that again, alright?"

The nodded mutely before galloping off. Windy sighed and shrugged her daughter onto her back. What a day.

Author's Note

Remember stupid things because an older kid told you to do it? I do. It was stupid. lol. I like to think I got better. Still not sure about that tho.

I didn't mean to deviate so far from the original, but here we are. This here will be the second overarching arc, the first one being Cadance. Should be exciting!

I hoped you enjoyed this more experimental chapter and as always, if you have any ideas for any future chapters, do share.
