Gilda had placed her claw on the belly of Rainbow Dash, and Dashie tried her best to withhold the laughter but as Dashie tried, it all proved to be to no avail.

‘Waaa-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha, Gilda, sto-ho-ho-hoop!! *laughter*’, but the pleas fell on deaf ears.

'No Dashie, it is only beginning!'

Gilda then began to make the tickling noises to strengthen the fact that she was tickling her anyhow. She even began to raspberry her stomach which was greeted with even more laughter. Dashie tried her best to squirm and plead but Gilda was unforgiving she just tickled anyway.

Man, I knew that Dash was ticklish, but this is just idiotic! She stopped for Dash to catch her breath.

‘Haaah, Gilda, *laugh* I hate you!’ She was greeted with an even bigger smirk.

‘I know that, Dashie I know that!’ She then left.

‘Hey, where are you going? You're not going to leave me down here, are you?!’ Dash said.

‘No, Dash, I'm going to do stuff. I'll be back in a moment, stay sharp!’ she said while climbing a staircase.

Dash was left alone, in the dark room, chained on the table. She tried to break free from her prison, but it was useless. Gilda had made sure that the pegasus didn't escape.

Twilight's Library, 18:00 PM

Twilight was almost ready with closing off the library for the day, until she noticed something. Her latest copy of Daring Do was missing She had let Rainbow Dash borrow the copy but with her reading capabilities she thought that she would be done around this time. She hadn’t seen her since since she gave her the book. Twilight knew that Rainbow didn't quite get the chance to reading with Gilda there, but then again, she said that today she was going to read it anyhow. She was getting worried, for two reasons. Rainbow was the bearer of the element of loyalty, and, most importantly she was her best friend, especially when learning about the troublesome childhood Rainbow Dash had.

She decided to search for her cyan pegasus friend, but before she left- she left a note for Spike.

Dearest Spike, don't close the Library just yet, I'm going to look for a missing book.

Be back around dusk, Twilight.

Then, she closed the door behind her, ready to go on the search for her friend!

Dashie awoke by the sound of paw and claw-steps that descended the staircase which led to the strange cellar where she was. Gilda the Griffin had come back.

‘Heya, you worthless piece of a foal! I'm back!’ Dashie saw that she was carrying a bag, and her eyes widened after she saw what she had in her bag. A writing quill!

‘Hehe, that idiot at the store where I bought it thought that I was going to use it for writing! The dweeb! Anyways, let's get down to business!’ she said again. She then placed the feather of the quill on Dash's stomach, and her laughter once again filled the room.

After a while, Gilda spoke. ‘You know, Dash, while I was walking through that town of yours I couldn't help to tell the ponies there some stories about you. Such as this story. Remember the time you flew for the first time?’

Dash wanted to punch Gilda in the face for bringing up THAT...

5 Kilometers outside Cloudsdale, Equestria.

March 27th, 1756 BCR.

It was the first time that all the pegasi of the generation of 1750 would fly for their first time. All the fillies were eager to hit the skies, but two pegasi weren't so happy to fly.

One of them, a yellow pegasus with a pink mane was shaking at her knees at the thought of flying. And, shockingly enough- a cyan pegasus with a ruffled Rainbow colored mane was doing the same. Fluttershy had a reputation for being shy, but the cyan one, one that would later on love to fly, was now scared than ever to do so.

Before Rainbow Dash became the speedster pegasus we all know and love, she was shy... very shy. She lost her parents right after her birth. Rainbow Dash was placed into an orphanage, and spent the remainder of her young life there.

Now this test was the first of many for the class of '56, and it was a rite of passage for any pegasi to see if they were capable of flying.

Pegasi have had a whole bunch of rites of passage because they were a very proud race of ponies. The flying capability test is the most sacred of all rites. If a pegasus couldn’t fly, then he or she  couldn't be a part of the Cloudsdale society. This was a legacy that can be traced back from the time of Commander Hurricane who issued this test.

The coach that would instruct the pegasi fillies to fly, just like Clopping Hooves,was an ex-Celestial guard, but instead of a PTSD-torn maniac, this guy was timid- even caring! His name was Thunder Tyfoon and many of the pegasi found him to be an excellent teacher. While all the other fillies were soaring through the air, he saw that the two young fillies on the cloud were scared to take to the skies. He flew to the younger ones, and asked

‘Hey, are you scared?’ The two young fillies nodded.

‘Ah, there's nothing to be scared off, it's fun to fly! Wait, I'll show you how to fly!’

Next, he opened his wings, and flapped them until he was at a respectable height.

Fluttershy was amazed by the beauty of flying. The sight of Thunder soaring through the sky was such a sight that Fluttershy opened up. Like a butterfly that would open its wings, Fluttershy opened them and flew.

Rainbow Dash was captivated as well, but her mind was filled with doubt... she just couldn't do it.

Fluttershy flew towards Coach Tyfoon. Tyfoon’s heart melted like caramelized sugar heated in a pan. He began to fly a few meters with Fluttershy, but then saw that the rainbow-maned filly hadn't moved an inch. He said to the rainbow-maned one that she could do the same, but she didn’t move a muscle.Thunder flew back to the young Rainbow filly, and stepped up to her.

‘Hey, little one, I know you're scared. I was too! But look at me now! I love to fly, and there's nothing that can beat it! You know what? I'll fly alongside you, for the first time. Okay?’ Rainbow Dash nodded.

Next, they both opened their wings, and they flapped to the height where Fluttershy was, but she was so terrified that she couldn't hold control of her bladder and her urine was streamed all over her coat.

All the fillies laughed at their hardest from such a pathetic sight.

Rainbow Dash crumbled in tears. Not even Thunder's caring words could help her overcome the trauma.

Dashie was laughing from the torturing quill, torn between anger and shame, but was powerless nonetheless. She was locked firmly in place.

'Hehe, yeah you pathetic little pony! You were even afraid to fly! In Cloudsdale, of all places!'

Rainbow Dash let it all wash over her; she just didn't care anymore. Her most embarrassing moment was brought back to her mind- but it wasn't the only thing that she found embarrassing, Oh no! There were plenty more... Next Chapter: 4; The Confessions. Estimated time remaining: 36 Minutes
