Scootaloo was In the park preparing for her next attempt to fly. "Ok I can do this I just need to focus." She said.  She had failed 8 times before today and learned something every time.                          

The first time she had sprained her wing because she was too exited and did not look at where she was going she never practiced in a crowded area since.    

The third attempt had been a much better success for she did not crash but rather she did not move at all she could lift herself 5 inches off the ground but that was it. 

The 8th attempt she had managed to move and get at least three feet off the ground but she could only move about 2 feet before having to land.    

But now she had built up some strength in her wings and she was confident she would finally succeed. After taking a deep breath Scootaloo started running.

"Ok just take it easy." She said to herself. Scootaloo had made herself some 'steps' in her flying, step 1 spread out wings and start flapping them, step 2 adjust wings to go with the wind, step 3 takeoff, and finally step 4 keep flapping and keep focus, she did all the steps perfectly and never lost focus the whole time then closed her eyes knowing there were no trees or possibility of falling unless she messed up which was one thing that she would not do. 

When Scootaloo opened her eyes her when shocked at what she saw. "I..I'm flying I c...cant believe it." She muttered to herself.  she then flew around the park a couple times at a slow pace just to make sure she did not fall crash or risk her muscles giving out.   "Ok so I'm not dreaming, but I better go down, I don't want to sprain a wing again" She thought to herself.

After landing Scootaloo noticed a familiar pony she knew and went over to say hello. "Hey Rainbow what's up?" She asked casually. Rainbow smiled.   "I came by to see your next flying attempt and I can see it was a great success....I'm proud of you Scoot." She replied happily.

"Well I had a good teacher after all." Scootaloo said. "Ok ok don't go giving too much credit all I did was let you know about your mistakes and help you correct them, the rest was you." Rainbow replied.

Scootaloo chuckled. "Yea, so Rainbow.....if you had to put that on a percentage meter what would it be in your opinion?" Scootaloo asked. 

Rainbow pondered it for a moment, she soon looked at her sister. "It would be fifteen me, eighty five you." She replied.

Scootaloo chuckled.  "Yea that sounds fair." She said teasingly.
