Wrapped in green magic, cardboard birds aimed for a gummy worm that rested unsuspectingly on wooden planks. They couldn't reach it, though, an orange and red blur zipping in front of them. Scootaloo flew onto the stage, her real wings tucked into the wings of the red bird costume Rarity had made. Pecking, she snatched the worm and it disappeared inside the costume's beak, gobbled up by the pegasus like a true bird would.
Scootaloo looked into the audience, awesomeness shining from her eyes. She grinned and stroke a pose. “The early bird catches the worm!”
Quiet, mildly impressed clapping occurred.
Behind the curtain, Apple Bloom looked at the scene with doubt. “Was it a good idea that Scootaloo got herself a flight potion?”
“I'm not worried,” Sweetie Belle replied, calm-faced and smiling. “Zecora said it will only turn her into a real bird if she drinks it non-stop.”
