When passions flare and new relationships begin at the Grand Galloping Gala, it can be difficult to sort things out through the warmth and glow of young, budding love. Princess Twilight Sparkle and Captain Spitfire know full well such things are supposed to have a certain progression, but they're not going to let that stop them from enjoying each other's company as much as they can.

Everypony expect that the wonderbolts have a great life and lot of friends, but when Spitfire damages her wing at a live performance, something changes inside her and she wants to leave Cloudsdale she realizes that perhaps she can't turn to anypony.

It's practice as usual for the Wonderbolts, until their newest rookie crashes. Inspiration strikes Spitfire to get him a book from the Ponyville library to help him. But there she meets the librarian Twilight Sparkle, and a friendship soon develops. But what could be developing underneath the surface?

Twilight Sparkle can't fly. She's tried as hard as she can, but she can barely lift her hooves off the ground without smacking her face into something. Rainbow Dash has tried to teach her a thing or two about it, but it only leads to failed attempts and frustrated antics.

Princess Celestia decides that this will not do. A princess who cannot fly is not much of a princess at all. She asks the captain of the Wonderbolts to remedy the problem before the public learns of Twilight's shortcomings. As they spend more and more time together, Spitfire and Twilight will forge a bond far stronger than that of a simple student teacher relationship.
