The sun glistened through the springtime leaves and a gentle aroma flowed through the air. The grass was warm and soft beneath Fluttershy's hooves. Chirping came from all around and the forest itself seemed to breathe with life. Today was a perfect day to spend with Twilight. 

Perfect in every sense except one.

A single stick lay on the dirt path. It lay perfectly across the path and disrupted Fluttershy's pace. She stopped suddenly trying to think of how to continue on the path without leaving it.

Twilight looked at Fluttershy expectantly. "Is everything alright? Do you need help Fluttershy?"

Fluttershy processed the question and her situation. Her current goal was to walk this path. The path, however, was disrupted by this lone stick. Fluttershy had never done this before and had no previous data to work with. She could not possibly deviate from the path nor, could she continue while it is blocked.

"No… I cannot figure out how to continue on this path. It is flawed!" Fluttershy motioned toward the offending stick. 

Twilight scribbled furiously on a notepad before she walked to the stick. "Fluttershy, Observe and learn!" she exclaimed as she simply stepped over the stick.

Fluttershy was awestruck at this revelation. Going over an obstacle on a path still counts as being on the path! She instantly walked past the stick gracefully with her newfound logic.

Fluttershy and Twilight approached Friendship Castle. Its glorious walls glistened in the sun and sent a rainbow of colors in every direction. Every minute detail seemed to capture its own piece of light. Fluttershy marveled at this until finally they reached the front door.

Twilight motioned for Fluttershy to continue "Go ahead. Show me how much you have learned."

Fluttershy looked at the door in thought. She recalled how to get past obstacles while staying on her path. She scanned the crystal walls slowly looking up until finally she spotted her salvation. A window sat far above the door open. She instantly flew right into the window.

Clopping reverberated in the halls and soon Twilight appears with a notable red mark on her face. Her hair was slightly out of place.

"What was that…" she deadpanned.

"I avoided the obstacle and stayed on the path." Fluttershy responded enthusiastically.

After a few more notes Twilight lit her horn and a soft click could be heard. Fluttershy sank slightly but remained frozen in her pose.
