Rainbow Dash was practicing in the fields one day when she realized she had reached her limit. Wanting to surpass her already incredible speed, she turns to Zecora's strange magic to help augment her flight. When she finds Zecora, she is hovering over a book, deep in thought. Thinking she was just meditating, Dash walks in and proceeds to converse with her. Further investigation reveals that Zecora has been having a case of homesickness, and Dash is more than willing to help out a friend in need.
