//------------------------------// // Little Filly Flying // Story: Nopony wants to let go // by Moonlight Flight //------------------------------// Chapter 2: Little Flying Filly Twilight brought us out tea, "Here you go girls, just make sure you don't choke on it while watching." she laughed. She came over and sat beside me. "Do you think that she'll learn from Rainbow Dash?" she asked. It took me some thinking time but I quickly came up with an answer. "I don't doubt that she will. I mean she does look up to Dashie. The only thing with it is the way she teaches." I replied. I looked over at Twilight, her face had a confused look. "What do you mean?" she asked. I pointed at Rainbow Dash, "Look at the way she takes off. Do you notice anything different from when I take off?" Twilight watched Dashie but I guess she didn't see what I was talking about so I answered my own question. "She is taking to fast, and that requires wing strength." "So what's so wrong with that?" she asked. "It means that Scootaloo is going to have to match her wing strength to take off like that. I don't think Scootaloo has much strength." I answered. "She might thoug, remember she uses her wings to propel her on the scooter." Twilight argued. I shook my head, "You should know that propulsion is defferent from your weight versus gravity. It's harder than what you think." Twilight stared at me, "How did you know about the gravity vs. propulsion theory?" she asked. "Twilight, I don't just read about animals." I replied. "Girls are ya gonna pay attention or what?" Applebloom asked. Both me and Twilight laughed before turning our heads to watch. Rainbow Dash once again took off scatterting dust , "You have to feel each feather when you take off or you won't get far off the ground." Dashie said. "Mmkay, can I try now?" Scootaloo asked "I've seen you take off and land several times now, so I think I have it down." Alright you can do it just make sure to make it look cool." Dash replied. I watched as Scootaloo raised her wings and began to flap them maddly. She slightly rose off the ground, and began flying higher. As expected she ran out of energy and began to fall, luckilly Rainbow Dash was there to catch her. "How...How did I do?" she asked trying to catch her breath. "You did fine, but it needs to be cooler." Dash replied. "How much cooler?" Scoots asked. "It need to be about twenty percent cooler, try adding in a flip or something that I would do." she answered. I looked over at Twilight, "She wants her to do a flip and she can't even fly right." i said. "Fluttershy pay attention!" Rainbow yelled. Twilight shook her head, "I'm going to go make more tea." "Scootaloo almost hit the ground." I heard Sweetiebelle say. "Yea but rainbow Dash had caught her." Applebloom said. "She'll learn to fly soon don't worry girls, soon she will be flying around with Dash." I said. Their happy faces suddenly turned to worried ones. "Flying with Rainbow Dash? Does that mean she won't be hangin around with us?" Applebloom asked. "She wouldn't do that would she?" added Sweetiebelle. "I don't know girls you are inseparable." I replied. "I don't think that she would do something like that to her friends." Both girls looked at eachother then back at Scootaloo. Their mouths opened and Applebloom screamed my name. When I looked to see where she was pointing my breath caught in my throat. What I saw was something I probably would never get out of my head.
