Having completed her time at the Academy, Rainbow Dash returns to Ponyville. She is filled with excitement and energy at her attendance and the Academy's request to return next year for further training. Catching up on some RnR, she begins to pour herself into more training. However a new pegasus arrives to their little town. One who threatens to claim Rainbow Dash's title of Best Flyer in Ponyville, and possibly in all of Equestria.

I've never been one to face my problems head on. I've always thought it was much easier to let something run its course instead of dealing with it every step of the way. Why stress yourself over something when you can relax instead? All you need to do is find the little things to pass the time, and soon enough, you'll find whatever was bothering you is gone. Simple enough, right? It's always worked for me.

So what do you do when the thing you're waiting for to be over is your life?
