Rainbow Dash teaches a preteen Scootaloo how to fly, strengthening their bonds, both to each other and the ponies around them. A story about love, family, and growing up.
Scootaloo has always looked up to Rainbow Dash as a mentor or an older sister. So, when Rainbow Dash promises to teach Scootaloo lessons in flying one afternoon, it makes her whole day. The sad thing about promises: they can shatter.
Scootaloo is worried about her wings. What if there's something wrong with them? What if she'll never be able to fly? It's up to Rainbow Dash to cheer her up.
