The next night, we hear the dad talking with Rainbow Dash and Shooting Star, "So, as I was saying-" Their dad said but Shooting Star cut him off by trying to fly onto the branches, "Shooting Star, wait!" their dad said, "Look dad I'm gonna be best flier!" she said, "The Wingers are best at everything, right dad?" Shooting Star asked, 'You have strength, Shooting Star," their dad said, "but Wingers are best fliers for one reason alone." the dad said, "Yeah, I know, their silent flight." Shooting Star said, "But by the time I have my hooves out-" she said but her dad cut them off, "The mice will have run away and you and your foals will go hungry." he said, "Dad!" they Heard Rainbow Dash say, then Rainbow Dash appeared wearing the helmet she made, "I'm ready." she said.
"Well young pegasus, I don't think your first branching lesson will be THAT dangerous." their dad said, taking it off her, "it doesn't matter how much noise you make in the beginning, all you have to do is stretch your-" the dad said, but Rainbow Dash cut him off by stretching her wings and floating perfectly to another branch, "Well done." their dad smiled, "Beginner's luck!" Shooting Star said, she tried to land like her sister did but was a bit klutzy, "you know Shooting Star, I think it helps to picture where I land." Rainbow Dash said, "Come on, I'll race you!" she said, "Ok, go!" Shooting Star said, then they floated to a branch in fronnt of their dad, Rainbow dash got there first, 'HA!" she said to her older sister, "You had a head start, dad she cheated!" Shooting Star said, "No I didn't!" Ranibow Dash said with a glare, "No more fighting, get the girls inside, Rocket, it's time for bed, "Oh can we come with you on the hunt?" Rainbow Dash asked, "Not tonight, at least when the time comes you'll have the helmet for it." he dad said, putting the helmet Rainbow Dash made on her, "Nice helmet!" Shooting Starr snickered as they walked back inside, "Shooting Star!" their mom scolded, once they walked back in, their mom sighed, "Rocket, I know Dashie's a bit of a dreamer, do you worry for her?" she asked, "Oh I worry for both of them, seems like only yesterday they were foals and now they're grown and soon be leaving the clouds." Rocket said, and sighed, "I just want themn to be prepared." he said, "They'll be fine." thei mom smiled and they flew off.
Soon they were inside, 'Hey Shooting Stay you wanna try more branching?" Rainbow Dash asked, "What so you can show off again? I don't think so." Shooting Star said, "Oh ok, I thought we could play Battle of the Ice Hooves again." Rainbow dash said with a small smirk, Shooting Star glared at her, and soon they were trying branching again, "Could I show you how, without you being so angry?" Rainbow Dash asked, "Alright, show me how." Shooting Star said, "Well, before I leap, I picture myself on a tall cliff with the Pegasi guradians ready for battle!" Rainbow Dash said, stretching her wings out, "then I fly silently like Princess Luna ready for anything-" Rainbow Dash said "ENOUGH!" Shooting Star said, pushing her sister, she was tired of hearing about the guardians and Princess Luna, then they fell off the tree and hit the ground, "Sh-Shooting Star, are you ok?" Rainbow Dash asked, "Oh no!" SHooting Star said, "we're on the ground!" she said, 'We can't be here this is the wost place for a pegasus!" Rainbow Dash said, "It's weird down here." she said, "We gotta get out of here!" Shooting Star said, "Ok, if we can make it to that branch and then we can climb our way up!" Rainbow Dash said, then tried to fly but failed.
"Quiet!" Shooting Star said as Rainbow Dash made loud grunting noises as she tried to fly,then a branch snapping could be heard, "what was that?" Shooting Star asked, then out of nowhere, a snake attcked them!
"Shooting Star!" Rainbow Dash said as the snake cornered her, then out of nowhere another pegasus flew in and fought the snake! Just when Rainbow Dash thought she could relax, another pegasus grabbed her and the other grabbed Shooting Star, "W-where are you taking us?" Rainbow Dash asked, struggling to escape but it was no use.
She and Shooting star were kidnapped.
