Two afternoons later
"Rainbow Dash, you owe me some lesson time today."
"But Celestia-"
"You bailed yesterday!"
"Tank was hungry, and I really wanna do som- lemme take the sun off y- SHUT UP JEALOUSY- sorry twerp."
The eldest sister scooted Rainbow across the floor of the throne room.
"Sit. now." The element of loyalty dropped on the floor like those thing with the "hands", or like Lyra.
"Now, breathe deeply."
"But-"
"Hush." An air of tranquility flow through the room. Everything was calm. Sighs were heard throughout the castle and you couldn't hear Tank's whirring.
Luna's rock started to rise in the sky after many attempts of the thought of being alive for thousands of years.
"I-I can't I c-can't n-no. D-d-don't lemme think-k about t-that." A terrible case of hiccups followed their training.
"Rainbow, I'd like to inform you that your score is... 23%."
"You scored me it- lemme raise- JEALOUSY!" she smacked herself. That's the best remedy she could muster. She was covered in cuts and scrape because of this. Jealousy was fighting back, but was currently losing.
"I need to rest." Rainbow sauntered off to her room and tossed and turned for around 3 minutes. In her slumber, she had violent dreams. She dreamed, that she shoved her very best friend, Pinkie Pie, off the edge of the dragon's cavern, into Froggybottom bog so she would drown. It seemed so real, so... vivid. This was of course, Jealousy's doing, the black pony that creeps into your soul through the horn. She hated it. She hated it so much.

Dash woke up to more lessons. This morning, they were magic lessons. Thank god they weren't more with Celestia.,The mare said in her noggin.
"Hello, bearer of loyalty, today we will practice a basic levitation spell."
"....okay"
"We'll start by focusing on the object, like... that helmet."
"...sounds...okay"
Dash focused, like told.
"Now, think of picking something up with hooves."
Hooves. Okay.
"Fine"
"Now do that. Just in your head. Focus on the helmet, and think about lifting up."
The helment was.... Klank! ...Momentarily in the air.
"...that...was.... AWESOME lemme jus' try that again..."
Okay. Focus. Hooves. Lift....
That time was three inches, next one was five inches, after that, nine, next, 1 foot, and finally,3 feet.
"Wow. That was tiring."
"You did well, Rainbow Dash. Oh.. It should be tiring... don't worry!"
"He..heheh..."
"Um... Dash.... Hello?"
Luna was in the air. She was enjoying it, but her student needed to listen.
"Put.. me down... please..?" Dash paid no attention. Zip, zero, nada.
The voice... Luna was determined. She hadn't used it in a while she would be quite a bit rust-
" RAINBOW DASH PUT ME DOWN NOW. I NEED YOU TO LISTEN OR THOU WILL HATH CONSEQUENCES BESTOWED UPON THEM." WIndows shattered, guards took cover. And there was a faint disturbance in Fluttershy's house.
Rainbow immediately let go of Luna, and the princess fluttered to the ground.
"Thank you Dash. That will be enough for today. Have a nice night." Rainbow look at Luna like she had three heads. "Oh goddess, the moon!" And with that, the "nightmare" of the night scurried off.
