	Scootaloo stood on the cloud scooter, sturdy despite being made of vapor. She stared at the scooter for a few moments before she heard Rainbow Dash call to her from above. She was supposed to try it out. Scootaloo hesitated for just a moment before flapping her wings at a decent rate. Instantly, she began to move forward at the speed she expected. She flapped harder and went even faster. And faster. And faster. Scootaloo's breath caught in her float when she started wobbling back and forth ever so slightly. She looked down to look at the terrain underhoof, and her heart skipped a beat: she was airborne.

Scootaloo pumped her wings harder then than she ever had, and the result was exactly what she had hoped for: she sped up to an incredible speed and gained almost ten feet of air. Rainbow Dash pulled in next to Scootaloo, smiling at her, though she hadn't even been noticed; Scootaloo was wearing an expression of pure childlike excitement as she soared over the rooftops of Ponyville for the first time in her life.
