“Now Twilight, spread your wings. No wait, I meant fold them! Or maybe you should flap them?”

“Fluttershy…”

“I´m sorry. Watch out for that wind current!”

Twilight rolled her eyes and waited for the wind current to hit her and make her lost her balance, throwing her right into the ground.

“I´m so sorry, Twilight. Are you okay?”

Twilight sighed and got up. She wasn´t hurt, she knew exactly how to land properly to avoid damage. It was basic flying knowledge she learned the first week.

“Maybe we should try something different. How about trying to gather some soft clouds instead?” Fluttershy offered and Twilight sighed again.

Fluttershy just wasn't a good flying instructor. In fact, she was terrible but Twilight didn't had the heart to tell her that. She couldn´t tell her either that she had been studying flight manuals that offered a better insight than her or that Rainbow Dash wasn´t being serious when she said that a novice like Twilight should learn the basics from someone like Fluttershy. She knew that Fluttershy was just trying to help but it just wasn´t working.

“Okay, so there´s some nice cloud spot over there. What do you say we slowly, very slowly, flap our way over there?” Fluttershy said.

“Wait Fluttershy, I…”

“Yes, Twilight?”

“I...I don´t know how to say what I want to say.”

Fluttershy blinked a few times, confused. Twilight decided that a picture spoke more than  a thousand words and levitated her saddlebags, taking out a flight manual. Fluttershy took the book and her face brighten up.

“Oh Twilight, this is wonderful! This books will serve as the perfect guide. I should have know you always come prepared. Now let´s see, chapter one, leaving the nest…”

Twilight couldn´t help but smile, watching her friend so innocently reading the instructions out loud. She shrugged and sat straight, awaiting for her next lesson.

*****

Spike was hiding behind the door, watching Twilight throw away her crown and dress. Fluttershy patted his back and offer a kind smile before going into the room. She managed to avoid a gold slipper being thrown her way.

“Twilight?”

“Go away, Fluttershy. I don´t want to talk to anypony. Not after...that.”

“It wasn´t so bad,” Fluttershy said.

“What are you talking about? Did you miss me messing that spell and turning the Saddle Arabians into mices? I completely ruined it! I'm lucky if Princess Celestia doesn't turn me into a rat and locks me in a cage.”

“The Princess will never do something like that. She knows you didn´t mean that, you were just nervous. That´s all.”

Twilight crossed her arms and sighed, turning her back on Fluttershy.

“Is there anything I can do for you?” Fluttershy asked.

“There´s nothing you can do for me. You have no idea how ashamed I am.”

“Never say that to me again.”

That took Twilight out of her angry rant and she turned over to see Fluttershy had dropped her gentle smile and was now frowning.

“I´m...sorry. You´re right. You of all ponies will now how does it feels to be observed,” Twilight said.

“I didn't meant that,” Fluttershy said, approaching Twilight. “Never tell me there´s nothing I can do for you.” And Fluttershy drew Twilight closer, giving her a tight hug.

It took a moment for Twilight to return the favor but she smiled while hugging Fluttershy. Spike quietly pick up the dress and shoes and closed the door behind him, leaving them alone.
