Discord was experimenting one day with teleportation between dimensions. When he tried, however, he ended up sending the Mane 6 to a distant galaxy called the Milky Way. Oops.

During a bout of crusading one day, the Cutie Mark Crusaders come across a certain grey mare, and decide to find out how she got her curious cutie mark.

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.

Scootaloo still doesn't have her cutie mark. She still hasn't found what makes her special. And she's slowly getting left behind. What will happen when her friends move on? When her idol can't help her? When her parents give up? What happens when life becomes too much for one filly to handle?
