Earn Your Wings,Fluttershy!
Chapter 2: Training
Previous ChapterThe training went pretty well,with Fluttershy brushing up on the basics of flying and Rainbow trying not to lose her already small amount of patience for other ponies slower to catch on.The weeks went by,until there was only one left. Rainbow called a special training session on the Monday.
"So Fluttershy,I've called you here so you can make a routine and practice it for the exam." Rainbow marched backwards and forwards,taking complete control of the situation.
"Have you done your routine yet Rainbow? I don't really want to trouble you."
"Of course! I'll show you!"
Rainbow began her impressive routine,using all her best moves. Fluttershy watched in awe,hoping her routine would at least be half as good. The routine went on,until Rainbow announced,
"And now for the finale!"
She began to do a triple loop and twist,a move which no filly of her age had done. If she can do the Sonic Rainboom,she can do this,Fluttershy thought. All went well until the final loop. Rainbow lost her balance and fell from a great height, flailing her limbs desperately,eventually falling onto the cloud bleachers and passing out. Fluttershy knew she couldn't fly fast enough to rescue Rainbow, and could only stand back and watch.
