*flies ahead of Twilight humming cheerfully**panting* Rainbow.. *exhales* Dash! I think we should stop-*looks over at Twilight* Hm? Already? We just took a break five minutes agoYes already. I think I'm getting muscle cramps.That's just your wings being whiny-It's muscle cramps.*rolls eyes* FineThank you. *flops onto a nearby cloud**lands in front of her* You're out of practiceAt least I haven't beenlanding on my face all the time anymore.Do you evento learn?Of course I do! I'm just don't think this is evenlearning. So I have wings. That doesn't mean I have to flyBut that's the point of having wings.*shakes head and kicks at the cloud* I don't understand any of this.Maybe you will when you've got somepony to hold you upWhat does that mean?When I was a filly... my dad would hold me up with a hoof and make me feel like I was flying until I could actually do it.Did it work?Well, duh! Don't you see how awesome I am now??Uh... huh.C'mon, Twi! Don't you get it? The trick is to believe it's in you - believe that you've got what it takes. You wouldn't be given those wings without a reason!But what if there isn't a reason?Wha- huh?What do you think when you first see an alicorn? Respect. Royalty. This amazing figure that you just can't help but look up to because they're just so majestic...Uh.Face it; it's not ME. It can't be me. I'm just this lame personal student of Princess Celestia that happened to save Equestria multiple times simply because I have the ability to.because I was just at the right place at the right time. I figure things out - things that anypony could've if they were in my place. Regardless of everything that's ever happened, I'm still this bookworm unicorn that somehow got stuck with wings. *turns away from Rainbow Dash* I got these- *flexes wings* by fixing a mess I myself made........Dash?Yeah. You're right.Really..?Yup. You did things that anypony could have done. But y'know what????Nopony did those things they could have done.did. We wouldn't have ventured into Everfree Forest the exact day we met you if you weren't so brave to begin with, Twi.I don't think...Think what?Anypony can have those sorts of adventures. Think about it- there are multiple other common ponies having adventures out there right now! What I don't get is me-I don't deserve this. This- *unfolds and folds wings* -is just to make meI don't have anything to change; I don't have anything to share. The princesses have something they have to offer but I...don't....*exhales* Sorry, you probably can't relate.Maybe.. but that's what friends are for, right? They stick around and try to help you understand and find your way even when they themselves don't get it.Wow, it's like you've upgraded your grammar.I got that line from a Daring Do book....ahBut I mean even word!*laughs* I'll take it.So are you going to keep giving everything a shot?*momentarily contemplates* ...yes. Don't want to be missing out on what my friends have to offer, right?*snorts* Right. Do it for yourself too though.*smirks* Of course.Now c'mon, all this can wait. But your flying lessons can not! I bet you can fly really fast with those wings. I'll finally have someone much faster to fly with than Fluttershy.Oh wow *giggles* She'll be so relieved to hear that.I know right? I won't have to keep getting dragged into her butterfly migrations too! She'll havee to drag around!....uh oh.Sorry if this is too ooc. I'm still practicingI imagine when Twilight first got her wings she spent the most time with Rainbow Dash learning how to pegasus lolAnd that time may be spent with Twilight being insecure of herself from time to timeFluttershy probably helped out with flying along with wing care and such too but I imagine Dashie would be the most enthusiastic of Twi's two pegasi friendsProbably just going to keep coloring sketches from now on since it saves time ahahAlso I have exams next week and I don't know why I decided to finish this instead of studying.Procrastination is a butt. Wish me luckkk!
