A brief and descriptive tale where Rainbow Dash, in solitude, partakes in her favorite hobby and greatest talent: flying. She performs a thrilling maneuver, not shackled by anything in all of Equestria.

Has some dialogue from MLP S1 E23, The Cutie Mark Chronicles. Cover art is not mine and is by ehfa.

I enjoyed it, but one thing slightly bugs me; Rainbow Dash doesn't seem the type to meditate.

I also get the sense (and maybe it's just me) that flying is as much running from memories that haunt her as it is dealing with them.

I'm a bit groggy to read this through critically right now but my first impression is good - I didn't catch any obvious grammar/punctuation errors, which is refreshing (not directed at you specifically, from anyone. There's usually something that needs fixed, but I didn't spot it if there is.

You've got a good point there. I understand that Dashie isn't too contemplative -- she's more of a doer than a thinker -- but I admit to foregoing that for the sake of focusing on the thoughts and feelings behind her flight as much as her actions and to make things a bit more dramatic. And, as for the whole "running from memories" bit, I can kinda see why you might get that sense. I was aiming more at both getting away from the world and bad memories and proving to herself that those humiliating times were long gone. Maybe I could have elaborated further on her transition away from those bad thoughts.
I appreciate the feedback, Vivvy, and am really glad you enjoyed it! I'm also glad there were no stark errors or bad impressions, heh... :twilightsheepish: My attention to detail has payed off for my first published fanfic, it seems.
