The Art of the Test

by jtylerg

Overcoming an Obtained fear and... A Birthday Present?

I walked through the door where I wound myself in a large room, above me was a ledge that was really high up. If I was powerful enough to use my wings I could easily fly up to it, but that wasn't the case. There was a door up there though, I could see it, so that must be where I need to go...

To my left was a deep hole, and due to my recent experiences with holes in this place, I was afraid of it. Okay... so I need to find a way to get up there, but there isn't anything in this room except for that hole... I began to look around for some sort of object that I could use, but found nothing. Nothing except a single word written on the wall.

Momentum.

Where had I heard that word before? I KNOW that I have heard it somewhere before. Wait, I think I remember a lesson on something called momentum in class a while back... Miss Cheerilee had mentioned something about the amount of force produced from falling or moving fast. Rainbow Dash had said something about it when I asked her how she did some of her tricks too.... Wait, falling... That must mean... I gulped.

I'm not an ignorant pony, so I knew what had to be done... I just didn't want to admit it. Until I was able to fly I had hoped to stay as far away from heights as possible, but now that seemed impossible. Slowly, I walked to the ledge, still holding the portal gun between my hooves. I fired a blue portal onto the floor at the bottom of the hole and then fired the orange on on the wall opposite the exit.

I gulped and closed my eyes as I looked down the hole... It was a long way down. I would have to aim perfectly, and if I didn't well... No more Scootaloo.

I would just have to get over my fear... and if I didn't, well then I would be trapped here forever. I thought to myself. With that final thought, I leaped. The wind blew through my mane as I raced downward in utter fear. The portal was coming closer and closer... Oh Celestia please let this work...

It did work! I blasted through the portal and found myself hurled over the room below me, and next thing I knew, I was standing in front of the exit door. I had done it! I wasn't so bad at this after all.

Well, onward to the next room.

“You know, your sense of time must really be messed up down here. Truth is, yesterday was your birthday... I just thought I should mention that... as a matter of fact, I have a surprise for you, please continue to test while I get everything... set up.”

Sorry for the short chapter, I just wanted to add this in before it passed submission.
I hope you enjoy, and there will be more to come soon!
