Rainbow Dash has been looking forward to her first day of Cloudsdale Flight School since she was just a little filly. Now she was finally old enough! Though, when she got there, her first day was... Not quite what she expected. It wasn't as easy as flying at home. The instructors were tough on her. Her classmates were mean to her. Soon, she was starting to hate flight school. That is, until she met a certain pegasus, who helped her when she was down.

The ending of Chapter 5 has been rewritten, and I'm taking the ending of the story in a different direction than originally planned, so if you've already read it, I would suggest rereading at least the ending.
