		"Where are we going?" The little orange pegasus asked to her older sister. The older pegasus was looking around making sure they were going the right way.
"A impatient filly aren't you?" Lightning looked to the filly she was addressing, Scootaloo simply ignored it. The two continued on the path around the Everfree Forest. Lightning leading the way with a saddle bag, filled with something.Lightning Dust got a large grin on her face.
"OK we are here," Scootaloo looked around and was awestruck, her awe dropped to the floor, it was a magnificent site. The grass was thick, lush, and a weird blue green color that almost matched the color of the older sister. The area it self was surrounded by trees.
"Let me show you something amazing," Scootaloo looked to the mare who was talking. Lightning was wearing lights around her hoofs, her head, and her mane and tail. Scootaloo tilted her head in confusion, she looks towards her sister and burst out laughing. Lightning simply ignored her younger sisters mocking and watched the sky's. Its almost time, its almost sunset. The sky was orange turning purple, it is time. Lightning shot up in the sky, a yellow trail following behind her, a cone started to form around the pegasus. Then she started to do a barrel role, the cone getting stronger. Scootaloo was looking up, her eyes are big and doughy. Lightning in the eyes were beaming with determination. With lightning speed the airborne pegasus made a lightning formation. Her yellow trail making it look like a lightning bolt, the lights heightened the effects. The wind from the trick, made firefly's flew up from Night was there at this point and just like Lightning Dust cutie mark the are three shining stars under the lightning bolt. Scootaloo's mouth dropped to the floor with a smile to help, it was a very pretty site. Lightning hovered in the air after that, then she slowly the glided to the grass which softened the fall. she touched town and right when she was on the ground she took off all the lights. Scootaloo ran up to the out of breath pegasus.
"That was amazing! I didn't know you could do stuff like that, where did you?" Lightning Dust stopped the filly. The older pegasus was obviously out of breath. 
"That, that, is how I got my, my cutie mark," Scootaloo tilted her head in confusion. Lightning legs gave way and she dropped to the ground, Scootaloo sat beside her older sibling.
"How did you get your cutie mark?" Scootaloo asked. Lightning Dust finally got her breath back and looked down at the filly.
"Well I guess its Dusty's story time," Scootaloo's eyes lit up like the moon in the night sky, Lightning continued.
"When papa was around, he was sad so often because of mama. I kinda cared, so one night I decided to find something to make him happy. At the time I didn't know I could fly like the amazing flyer I am now. I thought I couldn't fly like mama and papa, but I found this place and started practicing I found I could actually fly unlike most of are family. And then I wanted to go a little higher, then a little higher. So on but then I got the idea of adding lights and it slowly came together," Scootaloo interrupted and asked.
"How long did that take?" Lightning paused and looked up to the sky, pondering the question and replied.
"Can you keep a secret Scoot's?" Scootaloo nodded her head. "It took me two and a half years, so I was the last filly to get my cutie mark." Scootaloo gasped, her older sister so much like her idol, yet she got her cutie mark so late. "So I came here to tell you something," Scootaloo snapped out of her daze and looked to her sibling. "You are awesome Scoots, you dont need to fly to show your awesomeness. But that doesn't mean you should mean you should limit yourself, maybe you can fly someday. So I brought you here so you can have a safe place to do your awesome thing what ever it will be." Lightning looked up at the sky and commented. "We should probably be heading home," Scootaloo got up and walked up to her sister and pulled her into a embrace. Lighting was not expecting this of her sister, but her sisterly instinct kicked in and Lightning wrapped her wing around her younger sister.
"Thank you," Scootaloo voice cracked. Lighting Dust looked to her little sister in understanding. On any other occasion Lighting would absolutely milk as much as she could from a thank you but instead she simply replied with. 
"Sure," Lighting stared off into space thinking about papa. He never saw it because of when he left, she got her cutie mark by breaking mama and papas rule of. Don't go out after dark, which she did everyday. And she got her cutie mark without anyponys help, and with nopony to congratulate her for her cutie mark besides her little sister. She was raised and think this way as well. Scootaloo snapped Lighting Dust out of her trance.
"Do you think you could fly me home?" The older pegasus nodded and picked up the filly and started the flight home. Something are best left unsaid.
