"Come on….come ON!" Scootaloo growled, her little orange wings beating furiously at her sides. How was she supposed to be a Jr. Wonderbolt of she couldn't even get off the ground? She slumped to the ground, pouting. "I'm never going to get it right…"

"Get what right, Squirt?" A familiar voice laughed behind her.

"Dash!" Scootaloo bounced back up into a sitting position, a smile flashed across her face, before replacing itself with a scowl. "I can't get off the ground! I've tried and tried ALL DAY and I just can't do it! Watch," The little filly commanded, then squinched her eyes shut and flapped her wings again, trying to hover even an inch off of the ground. The blades of grass under her hooves swayed slightly, but nothing else happened.

"SEE?!….Dash?" Scootaloo opened her eyes, the blue pony was gone.

"Let's see what's wrong with ya'." Scootaloo jumped when two hooves quickly spread her wings from behind. Looking over her shoulder, she could see Rainbow Dash holding out her wings, inspecting them. She ran a hoof along the feathered tips, nodding, then bent them this way and that, watching how they moved carefully. "Uh huh…..uh huh…..yeah." Dash leaned to looked at Scootaloo, still holding out her wings. "The old flappers look fine, for a little squirt like you." She nodded, a smile tugging at the corner of her mouth. "Nothing looks messed up, at least."

"Are you sure?" Scootaloo worried, her gaze shifting to her hooves infront of her. "I mean….there's nothing wrong with me?…."

"Are you kidding?" Dash snorted, "Your wings look like mine did, when I was a kid!" As she spoke, Dash's wings flicked out from her sides, feathers splayed. Scootaloo gaped, eyes wide. "Seriously? Yours looked like mine?! But…but they're HUGE!"

"Nah." Rainbow snickered, folding her wings back again. They just grew up when I did. Yours'll grow out too, you know. Everypony's do."

"But how long will that take?"

Dash shrugged, finally dropping Scootaloo's wings. "Dunno. I wasn't much younger than you, when I started to fly. Then again, I was gifted." Scootaloo giggled as Dash put on a proud grin. "Maybe you just need somepony to train you right."

Scootaloo's eyes got wide, her wings twitching in excitement. "T-train?" She squeeked, "Like…like to fly?!"

"Yeah, sure squirt. I'll fly by Fluttershy's place later and see if she's up to it."

"WHAT?!"

Dash laughed as the filly's mouth dropped open in shock. "I'm just pulling you leg! Ya' don't have to act like that!" Dash turned to leave, flicking her tail goodbye. "I'll be back here tomorrow, as soon as the sun's up. Meet me if ya' wanna practice or something."

"Y-yeah!" Scootaloo jumped up, grinnig ear to ear. "Yeah! I'll be here!" Her wings snapped open happily as she trotted about in a victory prance. "Dash's gonna train me! Dash is gonna train me! I'll be a Jr. Wonderbolt in no time!"
