Episode 3 Tipping the Scales.
It was a gorgeous morning for all of Ponyvilles citizens including a pony named Cheerliee who always assisting in grading papers for the school house for the fillies and colts and also the bearer of the Element of Kindness.
But like all good mornings they somehow seem to go bad one way or another as three ponies zoomed by her, all three of the she knew well.
One of them was the orange farm pony named Applejack wearing her prized stetson on her head, and even though she's an earth pony she is extremely athletic.
The next pony was Lightning Dust, a pegasi and can seem to cause pranks around Ponyville, and she is also one of the bearers of the Elements of Harmony, that being Laughter.
The last pony wasn't hard to miss her by a mile, that being Rainbow Dash, she is more of the brash and proud type of pegasi you would meet; she is also the weather manager of weather team in Ponyville and the bearer of element as well which was Loyalty.
They looked like they were racing and Dash was in the lead by two pony lengths in front of Lightning Dust who was half a pony length in front of Applejack.
Cheerliee looking at where they were headed and they seemed to be racing to the well that was in Ponyville. She followed them into town and already saw that the race was over and with Dash jumping up and down it seemed she was the winner.
"Aw yeah point to the Dash!" Dash declared raising a hoof in the air as she hovered off the ground while AJ and Dust panted out of breath.
"Nice… race… Dash." AJ said between breaths.
Rainbow looked back at the tired earth and pegasus ponies with a smirk.
"Nice race; I gave you girls a five second head start and I still won the race, man talk about slow." Dash boasted.
Lightning Dust got her breath "Just because of that stipulation you made doesn't mean you're the best."
Lightning Dust interjected "Your right maybe I should've gave you a fifteen second head start." Dash boast again laughing a bit at the other ponies expense.
Despite the distance everypony in the area could hear what she was saying, and Cheerliee's expression hardened that did it; Cheerliee was going to put an end to Dashes boasting one way or another.
She approached the well that the three were at "Rainbow Dash I would like to talk to you for a moment." Cheerliee stated in a more serious tone.
"Sure, what about?" Rainbow asked with a half smile/smirk on her face.
"You attitude that's what, you've been boasting like no tomorrow and it's very uncalled for, I would like you to apologize to both of Applejack, and Lightning Dust for your unfavorable boasting." Cheerliee ordered her eyes narrowed.
Dash looked at Cheerliee as if what she just said was a foreign language.
"You want me to do what now?" Dash said rubbing her neck with her hoof in confusion and just staring at Cheerliee.
"You heard me; your boasting can really hurt someponies feelings." Cheerliee said pointing to the exhausted AJ and Lightning Dust.
"I'm just expressing myself okay so chill out." Dash retorted in slight anger.
"I'll 'chill out' once you apologize." Cheerliee said not giving her any ground to counter.
Dash was stuck and she knew it. She wasn't going to get away from her unless she does give them an apology.
That was when she got a very Dash like idea. "Alright Cheerliee I'll apologize…" Dash starts.
"You will." Cheerliee stated coldly with a slight hint of confusion.
"On one condition, you beat me in a one on one race."Dash finished which made Cheerliee stiffen up at what she said. Now it was Cheerliees turn to be confused.
"Um… what did you say?" she said her tone change from a serious to a one of worry as other ponies began to gather about sighting this argument.
"A race you and me if I win you have to wear a chicken costume the rest of the day, and if I 'lose' I'll gratefully apologize to AJ and Lightning Dust afterwards. So what's it going to be, you accept or are you to chicken." Dash finished making chicken sounds toward Cheerliee.
The ponies that were around started to circle around them and mummers here and there about Cheerliee racing Dash. Cheerliee now started to get even more worried about this as AJ then went up stepping between the two.
"Dash really doesn't need tah apologize, does she." AJ said trying to break it up, but Cheerliee was taking a step back from Dashes challenge.
"Is she nuts, she knows as well as I do that I can't beat her in a race even if she's not using her wings, I'll lose for sure" she thought already thinking the end result. Her being humiliated by Rainbow Dash and wearing that chicken costume all day long.
She continued to back away "Well all that big talk and your back away like a filly at her first day of school. You might talk the talk, but can you walk. The. Walk." Dash said poking Cheerliees chest with those words causing her to push through the crowd of ponies and run from the crowd and Dash.
"I'm guessing that's a no then!" Dash called out to the running pony in a slight tone of victory and pride.
After running away she instantly went back home and locked the door so that nopony could get in.
She was sweating up a storm after running from Dash and the crowd of ponies.
She lets out a relieving sigh knowing she was safe in her home "Dash is right maybe all I do is talk big, but I can't back it up with actions." Cheerliee thought looking downcast.
"Momma is everything okay?" a fillies voice said that instantly cheered Cheerliee up.
Her home consist of a living room with a radio and the usual furniture, a normal kitchen with an oven, a refrigerator. The upstairs had two bedrooms, one for her, and one for her adopted daughter Emerald Jewel, who was now at the top of the stairs apparently waking up from a long nap she had while she had been out.
"Yes my little jewel, just mommy was having rough day." Cheerliee said with a cheerful smile trying to hide her sadness from her.
"Hopefully by tomorrow everpony will forget this every even happen." Cheerliee thought only thinking about what tomorrow would bring.
The next day was a weekend for her, and Emerald doesn't have to go to school today. Today was also shopping day for her; she would make a list of what's needed and head out to the shopping markets. First on the list were apples and she knew just where to get them since she knew the pony quite well.
She approached a made shift wooden stand that had an trio apple sign on it and a small sign that said 'OPEN' in big letters.
"Good morning AJ." Cheerliee announced to the mare in a cheerful tone.
"Well, howdy Cheers, the usual ah suppose." AJ said in a knowing tone.
"Yes please." She answered as AJ dropped three apples in her saddlebag.
"Look Cheers, sorry 'bout Dash yesterday she can be quite uh hoof full if yah ask me." She said
"I just would want her to taste her own medicine for once." Cheerliee answered slightly angered.
"Now ah know you would want to, but that just won't solve anything yah know." AJ advised putting a hoof on hers.
"But she made me look like a complete fool yesterday, and I still think you and Lightning Dust deserve something for the way she has treated you." She countered and walked away from the stand
"Why to ah get the feeling this ain't going tah end well." AJ says under her breath before continuing on with her usual work.
About a half hour later gathering most of the things on her list the last thing she need was seed for her garden back home and the only pony who had them were Daisy the local seed shop owner on the other side of town.
When she entered the shop she found nothing but flowers and seeds everywhere and at the counter was an earth pony mare with light grayish lime green, and moderate green eyes, her coat is a pale magenta, and her cutie mark were two daisies that almost reassembles Cheerliees with the exempt of the smiling faces.
She approached the counter "Hello Daisy, it seems you have more variety here every day." Cheerliee said impressed with how the shop has grown much like the owner.
"Well we have been getting more shipments of seeds lately, but the more the merrier right." Daisy said and gave her the usual, paid the bits and before Cheerliee was about to leave she was stopped by Daisy
"Oh and by the way, hopefully you don't decide to race Rainbow Dash, because that would be almost hysterical if you know what I mean." Daisy said trying to hold back a chuckle but failed miserably. To put it simple she added logs to a burning fire.
"Wouldn't dream of it." She said sarcastically and walked out slamming the door.
"The nerve of the pony, she knows it, I know it that I wouldn't be able to even keep up with Rainbow Dash even if I tried." She thought keeping her head up and thinking of what dash said to her
"You talk the talk but can you Walk. The. Walk." That phrase only annoyed her to no end and she knew just who to talk to about this.
At the library Trixie was practicing a new spell she found in one of her books. It allowed her to turn a rock into anything she can think of. She getting ready to cast it when there was a knock at the door, and she stopped her casting.
"Spike could you get the door and show whoever it is in please?" Trixie asked turning back to what she was practicing.
"Got it." Spike said and dashed off to the door opening it only to find cerise coated pony at the door.
"Oh hello Cheerliee." Spike greeted happily.
"Sorry to bother but is Trixie here?" Cheerliee questioned trying to look past him hoping to spot the azure mare.
"Yes she's upstairs at the moment I'll go get her." Spike went up stairs to tell Trixie that Cheerliee was downstairs waiting for her.
Cheerliee glance around the library that there was a stack books on her desk that were filled with pages that were an easy one hundred plus pages. After looking she saw Trixie coming down from her room
"Hi Cheerliee what brings you here?" Trixie asked wondering why Cheerliee had visited, and obviously didn't know about the incident the other day.
"Well you see Trixie I kinda need some help with something. It's about Rainbow Dash." She said letting out a sigh as Trixie let out a gasp.
"What about her? Did she get into an accident or something?" she asked in a hurry then Cheerliees expression changed completely from a cheery smile to a more angered expression.
"I am frustrated with her! Do you know what she did yesterday!?" she asked and Trixie shook her head in surprise that her friend and the Element of Kindness was angered.
"Well when I was just grading some papers for the teacher, I saw Rainbow Dash, Applejack, and Lightning Dust racing, and after the race was completed she when on a rant saying that she was better than everypony in Equestria, and me being the peacekeeper tried to calm her down." Cheerliee said as a very patient Trixie listened as she continued.
"And that's not all when I tried to ask her to apologize to them, she said she would if I beat her in a race, and I'm not the racing type for that matter, but I just ran off already knowing the outcome, and today Daisy thought it would have been funny if I raced her! Argh I just want to give Dash a piece of her own medicine!" Cheerliee ended her ranting huffing after she finished only leaving a stunned Trixie and Spike with a open mouth.
Trixie put a hoof to her chin in thought "Well I don't know but it does seem Dash is a good athlete, but I may have a spell that might help." Trixie says hesitantly.
That perked her ears up right away "You do?" she said frantic but realize she lost her composure and quickly gain her barings
"I mean, you do?" She asked in a sweet tone.
"Yeah it's a pretty difficult spell but shouldn't be too difficult." Trixie said as she and Spike went to the bookshelfs.
"Now where did I put it?" Trixie said scanning the shelves for the right book as Spike got up a ladder and eventually found it.
"Got it right here Trixie." Spike said coming down and bringing it to her.
"Thanks Spike, what would I do without a good assistant." Trixie said rubbing his head.
"Awe shucks Trix." Spike said blushing a bit embarrassed as Trixie looked through the book stopping at a particular page.
"So the only way to get even with Dash is to be just as fast as her." Trixie states.
"But the only one who is close to being fast as her is Lightning Dust, so I don't know about giving an earth pony the ability to be just as fast." Trixie continued eyeing Cheerliee behind her.
"And I believe this spell should do it, all it requires is a DNA sample of an extremely fast creature." Trixie said
"Does Rainbow Dash count as one?" Cheerliee asked sarcastically.
"Well she is the only fastest pegasus that I know, but you would need to get a sample of her DNA." Trixie explained.
"But how am I going to do that?" Cheerliee pondered that question then an idea came to her remembering one of the students she helps.
"Scootaloo! Of course she idolizes her in more ways than one." Cheerliee smiled at the idea and already came up with a idea that would work to get her to help.
"Well I guess that would have to do then, you go find Scootaloo and I'll prepare the rest okay." Trixie said but Cheerliee was already gone.
She searched around for Scootaloo and maybe she would help her. The tricky part is actually finding her, but luck was on her side when she spot an pegasus filly with cerise mane, light brilliant gamboge, and grayish purple eyes, she was also wear a purple helmet with a light shade of purple goggles and riding her scooter.
"Oh Scootaloo!" She called to the filly in a sweet tone as she walked over.
"What's up Miss. C, please don't tell me I'm trouble again?" questioned the filly looking back and forth as if she had done something.
Cheerliee shakes her head "No no no. You're not in trouble, but would you mind if I ask you something?" Cheerliee said as the filly looked at in her in confusion.
"I heard that you are a fan of Rainbow Dash are you not?" She asks
"Yeah Rainbow Dash is probably the coolest pegasus in the all of Equestria with Lightning Dust close second!" Scootaloo ranted.
"I was wondering if you could get a bit of her mane for me if that's okay?" Cheerliee asked which confused the filly.
"Why do it?" she asked in her confusion.
"Well… it's for… uh Trixie!" She said quickly.
"Yeah she needs it for an experiment she's performing and she needs something from the fastest creature here or in her case Rainbow Dash." She said with the cheeriest of smiles.
"Well I don't know. What's in it for me if I help?" Scootaloo said looking at her with a stern look.
Cheerliee sighed "I'll gladly help you with your homework for one week." She said which instantly put a smile on the fillies face
"Thank you thank you! I knew you were a kind pony right from the get go, and don't worry I'll see that I get a piece of Dashe's mane." Scootaloo cheered and zoomed off to find Rainbow Dash.
"No problem!" she yelled out as the filly zoomed off.
"I hope this doesn't come back and bite in the flank." She thought think of the possibility of this being of a bad idea.
After about three hours Scootaloo did find Rainbow Dash and told her that she needed to get a piece of her mane to give to Cheerliee to give to Trixie but didn't mention what it was for. While back at the library with the acquired hair from Rainbow she was preparing the spell
"Are you certain you what to do this Cheerliee?" Trixie questioned only to get a firm stare back from Cheerliee.
"Yes, Dash has been boasting for so long I can't stand it, somepony needs to take her down a peg." She stated clearly without hesitation.
"Okay, you might feel a slight pinch but it shouldn't hurt a bit." Trixie said as she lit up her horn. The aura surrounded the piece of hair and fired a small light beam toward Cheerliee which incased her in a sphere.
The magic surged through Cheerliees body for about a few minutes but then it began to subside and then she was down on the ground and Trixie was sweating from using the spell. She got up from the ground and looked at herself which she was still the same.
"I don't feel any different or anything. Are you sure you had the right spell?" Cheerliee questioned apparently angered.
"I'm sure it was the right spell, maybe it's not a physical change I'll have to make sure." Trixie looked back at her spell book. Cheerliee sighed examining herself again then headed outside.
"Maybe." She thought opened the door and ran out the door. Before she knew what happened she ran to doorstep of her house and stopped. She then looked back where the library was which was halfway across town and then down at her hoofs.
It was then she realized what the spell did "I'm fast." She whispered in astonishment.
"I'm fast." She said again but in a normal tone it starting to sink in.
"I'M FAST!" she yelled and zoomed back to the Trixie's library.
She zoomed in with a gust of wind knocking some of Trixie's stuff over "Trixie it made me faster, ways faster, I'm practically the fastest earth pony ever!" she squealed jumping cheerily.
"Well I hope it doesn't cause any problems for you." Trixie said looking up from her book and closing it.
"Well I'm off to find Rainbow Dash. And I'll show her a thing or two." Cheerliee stated calmly and zoomed off.
Rainbow was doing her normal thing; napping in the afternoon at the park after her job was finished on the only cloud that wasn't busted. She was snoring till she heard somepony calling her name.
"Rainbow Dash!" the voice yelled waking her up from her pleasant dream of flying with a certain group of pegasi.
"Ugh, who is it?" she said groggily getting up and stretching from her nap. She looked down from her cloud only to see a magenta colored pony standing there.
"What do you want Cheerliee, can you see I'm napping here." She said rubbing her eyes to get awake
"I accept your challenge!" She said bluntly to Rainbow and with pure confidence.
Hearing this Dash went clear some ear wax out of her ears "Sorry but I thought you said you accepted my challenge." Rainbow repeated.
"I did, you and me, or is Rainbow Dash awfraid of a wittle pony like me." She mocked with a childish voice and she knew Dash didn't like that and came zooming down to her and landing in front of her wings flared.
"Be careful teach or you may not like the outcome." Dash said gritting her teeth.
"Then let's race, we'll start from your cloud to the Ponyville fountain in town, first one to touch it wins." She explained as Dash started to land.
"Oh and one more thing, you can use your wings if you want to." She then adds as Dash stop giving her a puzzled look.
"Then let's stop chatting and get racing." Dash smirked and marked off the starting line
"Still time to back out." She said to Dash in a similar tone Dash herself would use.
"No way, and same to you!" she retorted back as her and Cheerliee got into a starting stance.
"Ready." Cheerliee started
"Set." Dash continued
"GO!" both said and zoomed off. Dash took to the air and Cheerliee ran on the ground and slowly moving ahead of Dash.
"How is she already ahead of me like that, no matter I'll just give it all I got at the last mile." Dash thought as she was a little behind her.
"Is this really all she's got? Talk about slow." Cheerliee thought as they began to approach Ponyville.
"I can almost see the fountain in sight time to get it up a notch" Dash thought flapping her wings as fast as she could to get ahead of Cheerliee.
"No way I'm losing Cheers but it was a good race!" Dash shouted to her below already declaring her victory.
"Yes it was, but now for me to end this!" she shouted back and started to pick up the pace and now she was two pony lengths in front of her.
"Today's lesson is now over." She whispered as she ran full sprint toward the fountain.
Dash noted how she was pulling way ahead now five or six lengths ahead of Dash.
"No way! C'mon wings don't fail me now!" She flapped harder to try and keep up but it was no use as soon as she flapped even harder. The fountain was in view and zoomed toward it, and touched the tip of the fountain. She was sweating up a storm when she touch it but it seemed like no pony else was around.
"What took you so long slow poke?" Cheerliee said holding a stop watch.
"I've been here for a minute and thought I've left you behind, oh wait I did!" Cheerliee mocked. Dash was stunned with her mouth gapped open and her left eye twitching.
"I lost, but how I demand a rematch!?" Dash said angered stomping a hoof on the ground as she landed.
"Let me think, hum… no." Cheerliee saying bluntly but still had a smile on her face.
"What do you mean no?!" Dash even more furious about to get up in Cheerliee's face, but Cheerliee had already moved and was behind her.
"Just by racing you I can tell you're no longer a challenge for me anymore and that is that. No if's ands or buts about it." Cheerliee said and left leaving Dash in her dust.
Cheerliee walked around Ponyville proudly as if a weight just had been lifted from her but little does she know that her mane and tail gained a new color, a blue stripe appeared on her mane and tail that replace a bit of her pinkish grey.
Meanwhile with Dash her blue streak had been replaced with a pinkish grey streak as she went off mumbling and angry. Dash went to find a place to blow off some steam when Scootaloo was passing by.
"Hey Rainbow Dash mind is it okay that you take me for a flight?" she asked very excited, but failed to see Dash was rather angry.
"Sorry Scootaloo but I need some alone time today." Dash said as she flew off.
"Okay no…" She paused a second taking in what Dash had just said.
"Wait a second did she call me Scootaloo, its normally Scoots or something like that." She thought in realization.
The days progress as Dash kept challenging Cheerliee every chance she got to a race, but the result was still the same no matter how many times; she'd ended up losing every time again and again. And every time Dash seemed to be losing more colors of her main and tail while Cheerliee was gaining colors. Throughout the other days Dash has lost her blue, yellow, green, and purple streaks and replaced by grayish pink streaks.
It was day time and Cheerliee was making her usual rounds and getting complements about her new mane color and tail that now has blue, yellow, green, and purple. She went to stop by Trixie's library. She walked inside since the library is a public area to see Trixie putting some food away in the fridge.
"Hey Trixie!" she cheered causing Trixie to lose hold of her magic, but not very as she quickly regained focus.
She turned around to see Cheerliee and her almost complete rainbow mane.
"Um… hi, what are you doing here." Trixie questioned and also looked confused still staring at the mane and tail of her friend.
"Oh just wondering if I could chat with you for a bit okay." She said. Trixie blinked a few times before she answered.
"Okay… say how's Rainbow Dash?" she questioned as she returned to put things away.
"Rainbow, she been challenging me every time to a race to try and beat but I win quite easily every time, she's just too… oh what the word I'm looking for… oh yeah booooring." She emphasized the boring to a stretch. That caught Trixie's attention about what she said
"Well she is a competitive athlete that's for sure, but that doesn't mean you she discredit them." Trixie stated.
All that Cheerliee did was raised an eyebrow at that statement then just shrugged it off.
"Well whatever, Dash isn't going to beat me and that is a fact." Cheerliee said as she zoomed off to who knows where.
Trixie became puzzled at how she reacted and decided to check the spell book and see which spell she cast. After flipping through some pages she came to the page that allowed Cheerliee to get so fast in the first place.
She slowly read it and every time she read it her eyes got bigger and bigger until they almost popped out of her eyes and she slammed the book close in distress.
"This isn't good." Was all that she able to say.
She trotted back and forth in the lobby of the library "Everything will be fine Trixie." She kept muttering over and over.
"Uh Trixie your…" Spike starts as he comes down hearing Trixie.
"Trixie knows she's speaking in third pony!" She yelled.
"Then what's the problem?" He asked.
"Just look on Trixie's desk at that book page 135 and you'll see what Trixie means." She said pointing to her desk as Spike went to it.
He opened to the page and it read saying 'Molding of Minds' on the page. "Molding of Minds, what is that anyway?" Spike asked rubbing his head which only made Trixie groan.
"It goes like this: If you have DNA of somepony like say a piece of hair and you cast it on a pony it will not only give you the traits of that pony but your mind will start acting like that pony." Trixie explained.
"So I'm guessing that would explain why Rainbow Dash over there has Cheerliee's mane." Spike pointed out the window and Trixie saw a cloud with the cyan pony on a nearby cloud and what was left of her mane was a red streak which apparently she had two more races with Cheerliee.
Dash seemed to be mopping and mumbling something. "Spike find the others except Cheerliee; need to speak to Dash I'm the one who gave Cheerliee that power and Dash can be the one to take it away from her." Trixie said and with a salute Spike was off to find the others.
It took awhile but Spike managed to find them at the least. Trixie and others with the exception of Cheerliee were under the cloud that she was on.
"Dash can we talk to you for a minute!" Sunset called out in worry.
"Go away; I don't want to be bothered." She called back.
"Please Dash we just want to see how you're doing." Coco said.
"Yeah, c'mon down from there." Dust flew up and grabbed Dash by her back and brought her down.
When she was brought down, the girls were shocked to see what she looked like now. Her normal rainbow mane and tail were about gone except a small red streak on both, her eyes were half opened like she was depressed, her eyes were bloodshot like if she was crying. Her normal swagger was also gone.
"Are you okay Rainbow?" Sunset asked
"No I'm not okay! What do think I'm a laughing stalk of Ponyville because I can't beat Cheerliee because she's faster now and I'm not and there nothing I can do about it!" Dash cried as she broke down laying on the grass curling up into a ball.
Trixie steps up putting a hoof on her shoulder "Rainbow I'm sorry." Trixie finally said but Dash was still crying.
"F-For w-what." She sniffed.
"I performed a spell on her that allowed her to be as fast as you but I didn't expect it to actually change a ponies mind and to act to like them for that matter." She said lowering her head then lifted her head back up.
"But I do know something that can work to return you back to normal." Trixie stated with a happier tone.
"Well what is it?" Lightning said looking at her.
"She just has to show her true self again in some way and it was cause a mental shock strong enough to both of them strong enough to revert them back to normal." Trixie said.
"Any suggestions on what could cause a strong mental shock?" Lightning asks.
"…The only possible idea that might work would be a race." Trixie says.
But in response to that Dash cringed "But I can't I'll just lose again like the last time. I just… just." Dash began muttering incoherently.
After a few minutes Sunset finally spoke up "C'mon RD I don't know any other pony with the courage you have." She commented and gestured for the rest to follow suit.
"Yeah, plus your fast, brave and probably the better athlete out of all of us here." Lightning said.
"And your proud of who you are and plan to keep it that way to, but you can't put yourself down because of a little set back." Coco said with confidence.
"I may not have been here long, but if you need some support I'll be there no problem." Trixie stated.
Dash picked herself off the ground and her crying dried up "So you really think I can win?" Dash said wiping her tears away.
"We don't think, we know you can win." Sunset declared
"Now how about it Dash?" Lightning started
"You ready or what?" Coco added.
With all that her friends say she couldn't let them down "Okay I'll give it another go." She said nervously.
They all went to find Cheerliee which wasn't hard, she by the park bench grading papers and doing some sit up exercises until she spotted Rainbow.
"Oh hello, coming back for me to embarrass you again." Cheerliee smirked causing Dash to walk backwards a little.
Dash took a deep breath and let it out slowly before she spoke "Yes I want another race." She said firmly.
"Well somepony is confident in herself today but the outcome will still be the same as always." Cheerliee stated getting up from her sit ups.
"But if you must insist on embarrassing yourself, be my guest." She commented with another smirk.
"First one to the town hall of Ponyville wins and you'll start from that cloud up there while I start below it." She said pointing to a cloud above them.
"You can do this Dash." Sunset said
"Don't let her beat you." Lightning continued
"Stay strong." Coco added with a firm nod.
"Go get her." Trixie finished. Dash nodded as they both lined up at the starting line.
"Ready." Cheerliee began.
"S-Set" Dash continued nervously,
"GO!" Both side in unison. They both zoomed off leaving a trail of dust behind them.
Dash of course was flying while Cheerliee was on the ground pulling ahead of her by three pony lengths.
"No I can't lose again, not again." Dash thought flapping her wings to try and to close the gap between them.
"How is it going Dust?" Trixie asked while Lightning was holding a telescope.
"It looks like Cheerliee's leading but Dash is slowly closing in but there already half way there it's going to be close girls." Dust said.
Dash was trying her best to keep up with her but it still wasn't enough "Looks like I'll win again huh Dash." Cheerliee commented already declaring victory as she put more of a distance between them
"No, not again, I blew it again, I'm the worst flyer ever." Dash thought as flashes of her previous loses flashed, but then what her friends had said flashed in her mind.
"You can do this Dash, Don't let her beat you, Stay strong, Go get her, We don't think we know." From what her friends said made a smile on her
"No, I still have a chance, there's no way I'm going to be beaten! AGAIN!" Dashes thoughts screamed as she flapped her wings to the max catching up and passing Cheerliee.
Cheerliee was at first shocked to see that she was pulling away from her and they were approaching the town hall. Dash gave a finally beat of her wings and she was now touching the town hall. It took her a second to realize what she did.
"I won." She whispered.
"I WON!" she yelled out and Cheerliee just a few seconds behind her.
"I don't believe it, you beat me." Cheerliee admitted. Just as quickly all of Cheerliee colors that she gained from winning faded and went back to her normal grayish pink and Dash got all her colors back.
The rest of the girls got up with them "Did it work?" Trixie asked looking at both of them.
"Looks like it did." Lightning concluded. Cheerliee looked at Rainbow Dash.
"Rainbow Dash can I say something to you." Cheerliee approached her.
"I apologize for the way I've been acting toward you, I guess it I got carried away by it that I didn't considered your feelings, I was wrong." Cheerliee admitted lowering her head.
"Well I guess I'm sorry too, I guess my bragging can affect other ponies around me." Rainbow admitted rubbing her head with her hoof.
Trixie smiled at the both of them "I guess we both learned something today have we." Trixie said as Cheerliee and Rainbow nodded in agreement.
Seeing this Trixie turned to Spike who had also been watching the whole time.
"Spike. Take a letter please." She asks watching the two as Spike took out a quill and scroll.
"Dear Princess, Celestia; I discovered something very unique, sometimes when a pony brags about something and somepony else take it into their own hoofs can have consequences, but not everypony is perfect. Sometimes bragging can have some negative effects on others causing them to rethink about themselves but it also takes your friends to give you some support when things are down, and even after everything is over it will only tighten the bond between friends so that they can understand each other more. Your faithful student, Trixie Lulamoon."
