    Hmmm. A look at a Ditzy who wasn't sort of out of it and kinda klutzy makes her current state.....depressing a bit. About the only good thing I'm seeing coming is that when her enemies show up, Spitfire isn't the only pony that's got her back.

    That was a nice chapter, though I'm dreading what happened to Ditzy Doo to damage her so much that she's permanently scatter brained now.

    this is bucking awesome I want to read more seriously, if my guess is correct then that unicorn stallion in the previous chapter is probably dinky's father and he was the one who caused ditsy's accident. I think it will be quite interesting to see what he will do.

    I love this story. I don't normally enjoy Derpy stories, but this one actually has plot as opposed to a sorry pile of self-pity. I was just dragging along until Part 3, when I start reading Spitfire's side of it. I never realized this story wasn't complete so I was expecting a standard accident-during-performance-and-that's-it routine, but I can see that there's much more depth to it. Please continue, I'm really curious!! Also I never thought of Dinky's father and now that end of Part 5 suggests that's him and my curiosity HAS BEEN DOUBLED! :twistnerd:

    I caught a few times Spitfire misspelt as Spitifire or Spitifre.

    Oh, my god, yes. SO much truth.

    Trying to describe a flight routine, without doing too much and bogging down or too little so the description suffers, is by far one of the hardest, if not the hardest thing, I've found. It's one of those things that's inherently impossible to do 100% correctly: you just pray like crazy that it works out.

    So lemme get this straight: Slate wanted a kid so his dad could be happy and become a grandfather. When Ditzy made it clear she wanted an abortion, he purposely screws her routine over, to the point where she might lose the kid, all so that the kid survives? Logic. :rainbowderp:

    Slate wanted a kid so his dad could be happy and become a grandfather. When Ditzy made it clear she wanted an abortion, he purposely screws her routine over, to keep her from become a Wonderbolt. With her dream gone, maybe he can convince her to reconsider things, to do what he wants. He at least has a better shot. But he messes up; the cloud is much more dense than he thought. Ditzy falls.
