Rainbow was a harsh teacher. She wouldn't take no for an answer. She demanded I learn how to walk around on my two hind legs just as much as a normal pony would on all four, even though I didn't have wings to help me stay upright!

If I fell back onto all four legs like a normal pony, Rainbow would do antything to make me get back up. Tossing pebbles at me, ticking me with grass stems, spanking my bottom, there was really no limit.

"My butt sure is sore," I complained up at her. "It's because you forced me to keep standing up and falling over again. It just isn't natural." I threw a clod of dirt at her. I missed.

Rainbow laughed. "Look what you're doing. Now you're throwing things at me. Could you do that if you were walking on all fours? I don't think so. Now throw something else at me."

"I'm tired."

"You're just lazy." Rainbow shouted a stream of insults at me. I didn't know what most of them meant, but I was sure they weren't nice. I threw more clods and small rocks at Rainbow. "Stop dodging! You deserve to have somepony hit you!"

Rainbow laughed again. "I have to keep doing this. Otherwise how will you get any practice?"

"Practice hating you?"

"No, practice throwing things. You're in the world capital of anthro versus truck confrontations, so you need to know how to protect yourself. Here, follow me." Rainbow flew across the field to some trees. "Practice throwing at these trees. Only when you can pick up a rock and glower with so much confidence that anyone can tell you're a deadly weapon on two legs"

"Four legs! I have four legs, even if two of them are defective now."

"Whatever. Only then will you be ready to cross a residential street."
