Throughout her practice, Whitespot always falls. She tries to do the flips, the spin, and her moves, but none of them can achieve well. All the other ponies in the gymnasium start to laugh at her, even Twisty Light.
Twisty Light said, “Oh, poor little Whitespot, never do anything for herself.”
Her friends laugh at Whitespot. "Let's hope she could fail the competition. Oh, wait. She will. 'Cause she will forfeit."
Whitespot looks utterly miserable. Twisty Light and her friends laugh. On the other hand, Thistle looks so sorry for her.
After practice, Whitespot is sitting on a bench, sad and alone. Her gymnastic coach tries to cheer her up and tells her that it takes a matter of practice and hope. Still, Whitespot feels bummed and sad.
In Ponyville, sad little Whitespot sits on an end of the bench crossing her forearms. She sits next to a stallion pony who is reading a book. He looks like a minister. He wears a white and brown robe with purple sashes.
He says, “A sad filly with a sorrowing look on her face is losing hope. She needs guidance to look for a new way. Miracles can restore what is broken and change it into something amazing. All you need is faith. When you have done everything you can do, that’s when miracles will step in and do what you can't do!”
At some point, Whitespot is curious and says, “Do you believe miracles will change anything?”
Then another pony says, “I believe so. Somepony says, ‘a new door where no one can shut is a new path where hope can be found.’” “I agree.”
Whitespot looks agog.
Later, Whitespot is lying on a bench, facing down, looking at a puddle with a reflection of her, sad and alone. She looks up and sees the figurative filly walking in the street of Ponyville. She can barely see her, but a lot of townspeople are walking by. Whitespot begins to investigate herself. She tries to find that filly, but she loses her in the crowd; this happens a few times.
As she’s trying to find that filly, Whitespot gives up. She’s walking through the park; still no sign of that special filly.
“I see that you’re alright, my friend.”
Whitespot is shocked. What she sees behind is that particular pony recently: Scootaloo. Whitespot couldn't believe that she saw her before. She was the filly who saved her from bullying Twisty Light. Whitespot is speechless and shy when she sees Scootaloo.
“You must be the pony who I saved you. It must have been a terrible storm when you were out of nowhere. I'm glad I saved you from a falling tree.”
“Wait, what?” confused Whitespot.
In her flashback
Whitespot was trapped and fainted when a tree fell over her. However, Scootaloo, in her scooter, came to the rescue and saved her right before the hit. Scootaloo was riding down through the storm while she is holding Whitespot. She was still fainted.
Back in the real world
Whitespot is amazed that Scootaloo saved her.
“You,” said Whitespot, “you saved me, but why-”
“Duh,” said Scootaloo, “I couldn't let yourself get hurt. I just knew what I had to do. Well, right now, you’re perfectly OK.”
Whitespot doesn't say anything. She walks away from Scootaloo and stands in front of a pond. Scootaloo looks worried. Her depression forces Scootaloo to confess to Whitespot.
“Are you ok?” asked Scootaloo.
Whitespot shakes her head and doesn’t say.
“Hey,” said Scootaloo, “you could tell me. After that, I saved you from the storm; it must have been terrible to be in-”
“It’s not the rescuing thing,” said Whitespot. Scootaloo is confused.
Whitespot moves her eyeball down to show Scootaloo her torso with bandages. Scootaloo doesn’t even recognize the bandages and immediately understands.
“Were you…” Before Scootallo says anything else, Whitespot nods sadly. She moves her torso to show that her wings are amputated.
Scootaloo understands that Whitespot was a Pegasus as she covers her mouth in horror. She feels so sorry for Whitespot. Whitespot explains everything about her gymnastics championship, her loss, and her lost reputation. Scootaloo listens to everything, as Whitespot explains. For Scootaloo, she couldn’t just ignore or leave her alone. She has a profound impact on her humiliation, right to her very core. Between the two, they both have in common. Scootaloo knows that she has to do something. Whitespot doesn’t dare to face her fears or fulfill her dream.
Scootaloo asks, “Is there a chance that I could do for you?”
Whitespot shakes her head sadly with the answers of no. And she walks off. While Whitespot walks off, Scootaloo catches her attention to help Whitespot. The appearance of Whitespot is beyond Scootaloo.
She has a cutie mark, which Scootaloo doesn’t have, but both fillies are athletes although they’re the same age. Whitespot's cutie mark is a right-wing with a ring crossover. Scootaloo believes the cutie mark represents a power of wing with courage and pride. Despite the fact, she knows what she has to do.
“Wait!” yells Scootaloo, “Maybe we can get things together. What I mean is: maybe I could help. I don’t know much of that gymnastics and stuff, but I see how they do; I’m much more an athlete too. I know losing your wings won’t help your ability to do the flips. Or lose your reputation, but there is a chance that we could get around. Look, I’ll be glad to help you.”
Whitespot said, “Why would you help me?”
Scootaloo looks agog and says, “Because... Because I knew there would be a time that you pursue your future and fulfill your purpose.” Whitespot looks agog. Also, Scootaloo is involved.
Scootaloo confronts Whitespot that life may be rough, but a new door will lead to a new way. She understands how difficult it is for Whitespot to understand the meaning of life. Scootaloo knows that Whitespot can make a difference. There's a conflict between Whitespot and Scootaloo's points of view. Whitespot can't believe anything is true. She thinks "support" is to make anyone feel better, so they would ignore anything or anyone. In Scootaloo's feelings, she feels the same way as Whitespot has. Scootaloo also has her deep feelings inside. With prideful words and encouragement, Scootaloo tells her she is excellent at everything. These words astound Whitespot, and Scootaloo doesn't remember who told her.
Scootaloo tells her, "with great pride, comes help to build encouragement.” Whitespot looks stunned.
Scootaloo said, “It's up to you, friend. I shall help you to accomplish the task, something that achieves without your wings.”
Scootaloo walks off as Whitespot watches her walking away. She looks a little surprised. She puzzles herself a few seconds and follows her.
