After the training, Whitespot and Scootaloo are hanging very well together. Then Twisty Light and her friends show up in the middle of nowhere.

“Well, girls. We see some bunch of losers are having- what do you call a word- flap training with her.”

Then, Scootaloo is shocked. Twisty Light tells Whitespot about the importance of training by professional coaches with no lack of experience. She explains Whitespot that most Pegasus achieve in flying as she has seen. Twisty Light points at Scootaloo that she’s the only Pegasus who can't fly.

After that, Twisty Light starts to tease her harmfully and calls her a ‘chicken’ who can't fly high enough.

“If I were you,” Twisty Light says, “I would give up yourself for being such an embarrassing trainer.”

“What in tarnation is going on around here?”

Then Thistle appears out of nowhere. Twisty Light immediately tells her that the orange pony is taking your friend always from Thistle, and Whitespot enjoys having fun with her. All that is a LIE.

Whitespot tries to explain to Thistle, but Twisty Light abruptly tells Thistle that Whitespot would be able to win a competition without Thistle. Thistle cannot believe what she hears. Whitespot tries to explain, but Thistle doesn't want to listen, and she runs off. Twisty Light starts to tease Scootaloo again. Then Scootaloo starts to whimper, and then she runs away.

Whitespot looks shocked. “Now that's what I call: some weak flyer,” said Twisty Light as her friends laughed.

“It’s your choice,” said Twisty Light, “either you join with that weak flyer or join with your old friend who forfeits you as a friend.” 

Whitespot stands up to Twisty Light, looking mad and says, “I will never give up myself or her even if we don't win!”

She storms away from her and follows after Scootaloo.





In the woods, Whitespot is still searching for Scootaloo, looking worried. Then she finds Scootaloo sitting on the grass, looking down. She sees a blue scooter that has been thrown, covered in dirt, and laid sideways. Whitespot looks concerned. She goes to her. They are standing at the edge of the cliff where a lake is underneath flowing quietly. Scootaloo looks sad and mad at the same time.

“You alright, Scoot?”

Scootaloo sniffs. “I'm fine.”

She seems pretty upset. Whitespot is still concerned.

“Scoot, I mean that this would ever happen, but- I could make this up. I mean, the way you teach me, something happens to me that you help me for the gymnastics during the training, and-”

“It’s not the training! It's my wings. You see, I’ve kept hiding from this for a long time. My wings ain't have enough strength to flap properly. They are too small, and I admit to myself: I'm as unusual as other Pegasus.”

Whitespot tries to convince her that Scootaloo is not different from others. She tells her that her inspiration helped her to achieve Whitespot’s skills. Scootaloo’s courage helped Whitespot to do her best. Scootaloo is obsessing. Plus, she never thinks she could be the best at anything because nopony ever told her.

Whitespot keeps trying to help Scootaloo not to be disappointed or feel guilty. Always encouraging to one another and build each other up, just as you are doing. Scootaloo is still feeling a little remorse. Afterward, Whitespot gives her some time and tells her that her faith can never be impossible. She leaves her alone.

Scootaloo looks quiet. She looks at Whitespot, walking away. She tries to say something to her but fails. Still sad, she is thinking. She looks at her scooter. She is always watching. Her expression starts to look stern, focusing on her attention. She looks away, and then looks back at her scooter again. She grabs her scooter.

Later, Scootaloo stands on top of the hill. She is preparing to launch herself with her wings on the scooter. She twists her wings to different angles and flaps them rapidly. She pushes herself forward down to Ponyville. She rides as fast as lightning. She even penetrates through narrow corridors and neighborhood houses. She drives all around areas in the town.

As Whitespot is walking sad, she looks beyond the horizon. She sees Scootaloo riding her scooter. Whitespot feels pleased. When Scootaloo stops her scooter, right in front of Whitespot, she takes off her helmet and looks at her intensely. 

Both Whitespot and Scootaloo looked at each other, happily.

During her training, Whitespot keeps practicing as Scootaloo is helping her. At the same time, Whitespot keeps encouraging Scootaloo to not give up. She tells her to keep moving forward. Every where Whitespot goes, she sees Thistle. She walks away angrily; Whitespot feels remorse.

When Whitespot is taking a moment to relax, she sees Scootaloo standing on a hilltop looking up in the sky. Whitespot joins her. She thanks her for helping her. However, Scootaloo is worrying if she trains and improves her well. Whitespot says win or lose doesn't even matter as long as we live. Always keep looking forward, work hard, and try our best. What’s done is done! She also invites her to join the Olympic competition stadium. Scootaloo accepts it.

They hug each other.
