[Driving Classes, Afternoon]
Sunlight was studying hard for the exam who would gave him is motorcycle driver license and Sunset was helping him.
“Relax, Sunlight, she said to him. Stress won’t help you when you will have to pass the driving exam”
“I am not stressed, he answered, laughing stupidly. Why should i be stressed?”
“Hum, maybe because you failed this exam 5 times before?” answered Sunset.
Sunlight had flashbacks of what happened the last times he passed the exam.
“I know, he answered, The first time, i fell off the motorcycle, which crashed into Principal Celestia’s car. I had to pay her for the damages i caused. The second time, the motorcycle and myself took a ride in a lake. The third time, The motorcycle didn’t started immediately and when it did, i crashed right into a wall. The fourth time, the tires caught fire and i got launched on Vice-Principal Luna’s car. And yesterday, The motorcycle exploded, projecting me on the top of a tree. I am afraid of what will happen next....”
“I know what you need, practice, and fortunately for you, i know just the way to help you” she said.
1 hour later, Sunlight was in the middle of a motocross circuit with Rainbow Dash and Sunset Shimmer. The two had their motocross outfits on, and Sunlight too, who already had is own one, created a few weeks ago. His outfit was black, with flames reliefs on the helmet and the suit.
“Alright, in the first time, said Sunset, you need to learn the basics. I will let you use my motorcycle for the practice. I prevent you, if you damage it, i will kill you!!”
“This is not reassuring” said Sunlight.
“Alright, newbie, said Rainbow Dash, watch and learn!!”
She started to ride around the circuit with her motorcycle.
“The balance is important!!! Said Rainbow Dash to him. If you lost it, you will fall for sure!!!”
Sunlight started his motorcycle and rolled on the field, slowly, then faster, until he began to panic. Luckily, Rainbow Dash. At the speed of sound, got off her motorcycle to save Sunset’s motorcycle, letting Sunlight crashing against a hill.
“Oh, for Celestia’s sake, thought Sunset. He is too stressed, him who is habitually fearless and confident while braving dangers. Wait, that’s it!!! I know the exact way to boost his confidence!!!”
Sunset gave a call to Mr. Cranky, who was the driving teacher of Sunlight.
“Hello, Mr. Cranky, this is me, Sunset Shimmer...,” she said.
Meanwhile, Sunlight Blaze was still practicing his driving skills, with no considerable amelioration. After 2 hours, he stopped, frustrated, and headed to his room by teleportation.
“He suck at this, said Rainbow Dash to Sunset, later. I never saw him failing so badly to something. I think he could fail once again his driving exam of tomorrow”
“I hope he won’t, said Sunset, This is his last chance to get his license. If he fail, he will be so mad at himself...”
The next day, Sunlight woke up, still stressed by his driving exam.
”Calm down, he said to himself, Everything will be okay, this is not like this is my last chance to get my license...”
After saying those words, Sunlight stress level doubled.
”Well, if i fail this time, i will make sure it is an epic fail” he thought.
He took his shower, left his room and walked in direction of the place where is driving exam would take place. When he arrived, Mr. Cranky told him to get in his car and drove him to the most dangerous place to do motocross in Canterlot.
“Uh, are you sure you don’t cross the line a little?” he asked to the teacher.
“This is the only way to get your license automatically, after your 5 last failures” he answered.
The two later got on the top of a hill and Sunlight saw many obstacles in the way of the finish line.
“I will never be able to do it!!! Said Sunlight. No way!!! I won’t kill myself for a stupid driving license!! Put me a F already!!”
He suddenly saw Sunset riding on the field with her motorcycle.
“Sunset?! Said Sunlight, What is she doing here!!?”
Suddenly, Sunset lost balance on her motorcycle and began to lost control. Sunlight saw it and felt his fear and stress disappear and got replaced with a newfound confidence.
“SUNSEEEEEEEEET!!!!!! He yelled, already on his motorcycle. I will save you!!!!”
Sunlight rolled down the hill at high speed, avoiding rocks, jumping over hills and rolling over obstacles.
“Someone help me!!!” she yelled.
Sunlight saw a shortcut where he could intercept her and took it. Sunset lost her grip and got sent in the air. Sunlight, like the hero of an action movie, jumped over a dangerous hill and grabbed Sunset in his arms, then landed on the ground safely. He looked at Cranky, who was astonished by the performance of Sunlight. Sunset removed her helmet and smiled at her brother.
“Have you lost your mind?! He said to her. You could have been badly hurt riding like you did on these hills!!!”
“But i was not expecting you to save me, she said. How did you get here so fast, Yesterday, you were hardly able to stand on my motorcycle...”
“I don’t know, he said. When i saw you in danger, all my stress and fear went away. I...Did i really crossed the most dangerous motocross field in Canterlot?”
“Yes, you did, said Sunset Shimmer, He he he...I knew you could do it, you only needed something to motivate you....”
“Motivate me? He asked. What do you mean?”
“Your sister called me yesterday to told me that she knew a way to make you pass this exam, answered Cranky. She proposed me to change the habitual circuit you used the last times to this one. But i didn’t know she was going to risk her life, i would have been in a lot trouble if she was hurt for real.”
“I had total faith in Sunlight, said Sunset. I knew he would brave the danger to protect and save me. But now, how do you feel, Sunlight?”
“How do i feel? I am mad at you, Sunset!!!” he answered.
“I know, i know, but outside of that? After riding through this field, how do you feel?”
“Hum, I feel...Good” he answered.
Mr. Cranky gave him is driving license.
“I must say, you impressed me!!! He said. You passed the exam with a A+!!! Congratulation!!!”
In the evening, Sunlight was writing in his journal.
“Dear Princess Twilight, Today, i learned something very important, not about friendship, but about myself. I thought i was fearless and that nothing could demoralize me, i was wrong. But that also make me realize that sometimes, you need the help of someone you love to overcome your fear. And Sunset did it, even if she risked her life by doing it”
Then he closed the journal and went to bed...
