Scene 18: Training, Part 2

-Whitetail Wood-

RD-"Thanks for helping us with this, Fluttershy!"

FS-"It's no problem, Rainbow Dash. I would love to see Arizona fly!"

RD-"Okay, Arizona. This is where we do the annual running of the leaves. However, we won't be running. Weaving through all the trees is great flying practice. I've set up a course for you to fly through, but instead of a time trial, it's going to be a race."

Arizona cawed approvingly.

RD-"Okay Fluttershy, we'll need you to wait by the finish line and snap a picture of who gets there first."

FS-"Sure thing, Rainbow Dash!"

And Fluttershy headed off to the finish line.

RD-"Are you ready? Okay... GO!"

They dipped and weaved through the dense forest. They dodged tree trunks, branches, shrubs and large rocks. They veered, twisted, twirled and curved. They were neck and neck when they approached the finish line. Fluttershy snapped a picture.

RD-"So Fluttershy, who won?"

The picture slowly printed out of the camera. It was initially black, but it started to develop.

FS-"Okay... The winner is... Wait... Can it be? It seems that the race ended in a tie!"

RD-"REALLY? THAT'S AWESOME! NO PEGSUS PONY HAS EVER BEEN ABLE TO TIE WITH ME! YOU'RE AWESOME, ARIZONA!"

AZ-"CAW!"

FS-"So I guess this means you two are ready for the show?"
