Author's Note: I know this entry is really freaking short, and I'd like to basically apologise for that. So, here I am, apologising.
Future entries will have a minimum of 3 thousand words, and a maximum of 5 thousand. I want this to be as realistic and in-character as possible, and I couldn't really imagine Rainbow Dash writing a giant story. While I could go longer, it just wouldn't make sense for the character. :)
Hey, so I was basically told to write here whenever I had something new or awesome to say. Though I tried to write a few weeks ago, but Twilight ran out of paper. Seriously, it was her idea to write a flight journal, so you'd think she would have at least kept enough paper for me to use! I mean, come on! And then she had the nerve to tell me to not waste her paper on pointless things! Seriously Twi, haven't you realised by now that everything I do is totally freaking awesome? That INCLUDES my flight journal!
Huh, come to think of it, I actually don't really know what to write in this thing. I mean, I did a couple of new tricks today, met up with Fluttershy for a glass of lemonade, and somehow managed to fly upside down without changing my wing rotation. I guess today wasn't all that exciting. I suppose I could write about Fluttershy, though I'm not sure how awesome that'll be to read. But, since I'm the only pony reading this, I guess it wouldn't hurt to include the boring stuff every once in a while.
So basically, I had just finished up my new round of tricks, when I noticed that I was flying over Fluttershy's cottage. I thought about doing a sonic rainboom to scare her animals, just for kicks, but decided to hold off, for Flutter's sake.
After catching my friend near the chicken house, or whatever that thing is called, I decided to slowly descend and lightly land directly in front of her... Heh, just kidding. I actually did 17 corkscrew twists in under 10 seconds before landing perfectly right beside her... Well, maybe not ENTIRELY perfect, but pretty damn close! Three hooves on the ground, while the fourth was.. on a chicken. Yes, I landed on a freaking chicken, directly in front of Fluttershy, okay! Don't worry, though. That little fellow wasn't hurt or anything. I tend to be really light on my hoof when landing. Though, Fluttershy was certainly convinced that I had squashed her poor little feathery friend into a pancake. She kind of overreacted, and did...the stare! On me of all ponies! Seriously, if you know Fluttershy, you know she's a yellow ball of kindness. However, the instant you do anything bad to an animal, she stares directly into your soul. It ain't pretty, trust me on that! I'm still shaking, even though that happened half a day ago!
"Heh, sorry Fluttershy. I guess I got a little carried away there"
"Oh, it's okay Rainbow. I'm sure the hen will be fine. Though, if it isn't too much trouble, could you, uh. Could you please apologise to her? It would mean the world to me if you did.. You know, only if you want to, though." Flutter.. Seriously, even when I practically kill one of her chickens, she still manages to act all kind and shy. I mean, I'm not complaining or anything, it's actually kinda awesome in her own little way.
"Uh, sure, whatever you say, Shy." I said...
Huh, sorry for basically interrupting the story here, guys. But I figured I should probably mention that I really freaking suck when it comes to dialogue. I mean, this all happened half a day ago! It isn't like I remember every single thing everypony says each and every day. Besides, like I wrote earlier, today really wasn't all that awesome. So don't blame me for how absolutely boring this thing is...
Anyways, I ended up apologising to that stupid chicken, and Fluttershy invited me into her cottage for a nice cold glass of lemonade. I gotta say, drinking one of Fluttershy's awesome homemade beverages after a long day of practice really makes a mare feel refreshed. I will admit, I felt a little⦠frisky at that moment, though it was mostly just the lemonade talking. You know lemons, they tend to have that kind of effect on mares. Heh.
After we had both finished our drinks, I decided it was time for me to leave. I mean, I did have more tricks to do after all, and I can't exactly do them when I'm cooped up in here with Fluttershy. Well, I DID have a trick or two I could have performed on her, but I seriously doubt she would be cool with that, if you know what I'm getting at. Heheh, yeah.. That's still the lemons talking. Just ignore that!
Anyways, really sorry for how uncool this first entry was. Like I said, nothing really awesome happened today, at least not to me, which is weird, considering how awesome tends to follow me around wherever I go. I mean, it isn't like I can help it. I'm just naturally this cool!
So, I guess that's it for today. Hopefully Twilight will have more paper around next time I have something to write. Seriously, I still can't believe she of all ponies would run out of paper.. She suggested this silly flight journal idea to me in the first place! Just, come on!
Hopefully my next entry, assuming I have enough time to write one, will be FAAAR more awesome than this one! Seriously, I'm gonna go all out on this baby. I'll even try to remember more detail about my day and my cool interactions, just so I can write it all down. Hay, maybe I could even turn this into some sort of autobiography. Man, that would be AWE-SOME!
-Rainbow Dash.
ps. Seriously Twi, get your act together! I'm counting on you to be awesome, so I can make this journal awesomeer.. Awesome-er? Whatever, you get the idea.
