[Applause]
hey twilight so where am i going the
crystal mountains van hoover here please

got caught by the map awesome
does that mean there's bad news no
well not exactly
[Music]
oh
it was just there
[Music]
my little pony my little pony
i used to wonder what friendship could
be
with me big adventure
faithful and strong sharing kindness
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
um
all right newbies welcome to trials week
for the wonderbolt academy you'll be
judged on your speed strength agility
and technique culminating in a final
evaluation will it be hard yes will you
cry
maybe will you fly so much your wings
fall off
that has only happened once
she's just exaggerating to make a point
right i mean wings can't really fall off
can they
you think you got what it takes to be an
elite flyer yes ma'am yes ma'am well let
me tell you you don't
i remember when she said that to me
you don't think rainbow dash is the pony
whose wings fell off do you
quit your whispering and give me 500
laps
[Music]
um i just wanted you to know you two are
my favorite ponies in all of equestria
well isn't that sweet
now get going on those laps
welcome princess twilight what are you
doing back so soon
official friendship business have you
noticed any pony having a hard time with
their friends
not really but it's not my job to worry
about their relationships i'm here to
make them elite flyers
adorable they're so full of hope and
competition
their technique could do some work
though
you should tell them i'm sure they'd
appreciate any notes from you yeah i
wouldn't want to mess with their
confidence but they'll never get better
if they don't know what to work on
sloppy wing placement
lines
i'm gonna have to drill them on basic
technique in the classroom portion
classroom portion
yeah it's everypony's least favorite
part of trial week but it has to be done
maybe we can help oh we can
absolutely between your flying skills
and my teaching expertise they can learn
a lot plus once they get to know us
they'll be more comfortable coming to us
with their friendship problems
count us in
great
you have your work cut out for you
thank goodness i had time to whip up a
few charts on flight patterns and wing
symmetry it's fresh in my mind from when
i learned to fly
this is so exciting
maybe for you i practically fell asleep
when i went through this tell you what
i'll leave the teaching stuff to you and
i'll just make sure they stay awake
i'm pretty sure their thirst for
knowledge will keep them bright-eyed and
bushy-tailed
good one twilight
wake up newbies class is in session
hello students i'm twilight sparkle and
this is rainbow dash but you can call us
t-sparks and the dashinator
[Music]
just kidding
and we're here to go over basic flying
technique oh
who said that
me i mean we're here because we're
amazingly awesome crazy good flyers
we're way past basics
what's your name
sky stinger you've uh never heard of me
he set the record for the fastest
vertical acceleration rate 500 feet in
two seconds
huh that's pretty impressive it's
amazing
um it is and we can talk personal
records after class miss
trail she's my wing pony i never fly
without her but you'll have to in the
solo trials there are
solo trials
yep it's a part of your final evaluation
we'll ace that test with our wings tied
behind our flanks
my picture will go right up there
next to yours
that's a mighty big claim considering
everypony here is an amazingly awesome
crazy good flyer i know
him okay
let's get back on track now who can tell
me the best wing angle to achieve
minimal air resistance
[Music]
well there were a few hiccups but
overall that went pretty well
[Music]
yeah nopony fell asleep
what i'm not a student
hey teach
me or twilight probably twilight uh uh
both about the solo test i'm actually
kind of worried about it
ah that's all right we all have moments
where we doubt ourselves no no i have
absolutely zero doubts about myself i'm
a strong flyer like really really really
strong but this isn't about me i'm
worried for vapor
oh well that is very
kind if you
tell you what it's almost time for your
freestyle training why don't you grab
her and show us what you've got yes
prepare to be impressed
by me
like i said vapor still needs work
well he may be full of himself but i
have to admit skye is an excellent flyer
he must have sh*t up 200 feet
but did you see vapor trail her wing was
under his i think she gave him a boost
i guess i didn't even notice vapor i was
too busy watching sky
i think you're right
vapor just created a gust of wind that
caught sky's wing at a 45 degree angle
propelling him into a flipping
some pony paid attention in class
skye obviously has no idea he's not
actually amazingly awesome and vapor's
so busy making her friend look good
she's not focused on her own flying at
all
this must be our friendship problem and
there's only one thing to do
without telling them
[Music]
you don't want to tell them of course
not flying is like 30 skill and 70
confidence can't mess with a flyer's
confidence but you can't improve if you
don't think you have to besides vapor's
keeping a pretty big secret from sky and
that can lead to trouble yeah but if we
tell them that they've been holding each
other back that could be trouble too
ah i nailed that flipping loop i'm
actually surprised you're still here
thought i blew you away
you were
great skye
come on vapor trail you're gonna have to
build up your endurance if you want a
sh*t at the academy wonderbolts don't
get winded
angel wings you call that cloud busting
that cloud barely knew you were there
i love my job
we'll keep working and who knows one day
you might come close to being almost as
good as me
oh
i don't think so you were voted
stratosport's most promising flyer i was
voted best sneeze
you do have a really great sneeze thanks
guy but i don't think i can sneeze my
way into the academy
uh
i'm pretty b*at i'm gonna hit the
showers
you have to help her
actually she's not the one
will do
hey
you did great you're a really strong
flyer
uh me
vapor trail we know what you've been
doing you've been doing great
you've been helping sky
uh i don't know what you're talking
about sky doesn't need any pony's help
he's amazing
huh
not without you and it's gonna be pretty
obvious during the solo trials when he
can't get enough air to do a flipping
loop oh no i can't let that happen
i mean
ah sugar cubes
why are you doing this for him
huh
it started when we were kids you have to
understand
skye grew up with a lot of siblings it
was tough
he was always trying to get his parents
attention
meanwhile i was an only child who hated
all the attention i got from mine vapor
trail where are you
do you need a snack do you want to do
homework or we can just spend some time
together all day is never enough
oh
mom dad up here
look look
look hey mom
dad can you see
[Music]
that was amazing
[Music]
flying together give us both what we
wanted
but i never told sky how much i was
helping him
it started with a small boost here or a
little gust of wind there
but i didn't think my help could
actually hurt his chances
i understand but now you're both in
trouble
you need to work on your tricks and skye
needs to be able to fly without you or
he won't make it
oh but he has to flying with the
wonderbolts has been skye's dream ever
since he was a cult what about you
i
i guess i haven't thought about it i
just want to be with my best friend and
we have to find a way to help both of
you starting with telling sky the truth
no you can't sky will be crushed and
without his confidence he won't fly as
well
and i guess we'll give dash's method a
sh*t
yes
i love being right okay here's what we
do sky needs to build his strength air
drills wing lifts all that boring
methodical stuff
sounds like my cup of oats but how will
we get him to do that he doesn't think
he needs practice
we'll just tell skye that he should
practice with twilight so you won't feel
so self-conscious about getting special
training for me with you
really you do that for me
you say that like it's not gonna be a
blast
[Music]
come on
[Music]
[Music]
[Music]
[Applause]
oh you were awesome
really thanks i can't believe i was able
to keep up that's the first nice thing
i've heard you say about yourself
hey
can we switch now
i want to do tricks with rainbow dash
you can't i mean uh you're already so
good at the fancy stuff
and the basic stuff
you're right i don't need to practice at
all
um
maybe skye you should
i'm already the best and everypony's
gonna know it when i'm asked to join the
academy tomorrow
but not if you don't practice
i wouldn't be surprised if you asked me
to become a wonderbolt straight out of
the trials boom dream
achieved skye you're not as good as you
think you are
what did you say
oh skye
i want you to get in as much as any pony
and you're amazing but
but what
i've been
helping you
please i don't need your help watch
[Music]
how could you do this to me did you all
know
[Music]
oh great so everypony about me knows i'm
a joke was this your plan the whole time
to embarrass me
what no
don't you know me at all i guess not
since it took me this long to find out
you're a terrible wing pony
i can't believe you
i can't believe i was ever your friend
thanks a lot
[Music]
do you think they're still mad
[Music]
yeah they're still mad this is all my
fault if we had just done things your
way maybe we could have avoided this
whole mess
no it's my fault it hit me when i was
watching sky train with you he wasn't
even trying
oh no he's lost his confidence do you
want to tell me why one of my most
promising students is flying like a
balloon with a hole in it
uh it's a long story but we'll fix it
yes you will
we really messed up huh
i have a plan
[Music]
hey skye
i thought i might find you here
well apparently i need a lot of practice
guess i'm not the natural i thought i
was no
you're not
thanks good pep talk i wasn't a natural
at friendship but with some practice and
some help from my friends i got better
and now i'm the princess of friendship
so you're saying i can be the princess
of flying
[Music]
you know
you're really good you're lead pony
material hmm that's sweet of you but no
i couldn't handle all the attention but
you'll never become a wonderbolt if
you're too afraid to shine
that is what you want right well not at
first i just wanted to be with skye
but learning to do all those fun tricks
with you it made me realize this is
something i want for myself i was hoping
you'd say that come with me
[Music]
what's she doing here sky
paper was never trying to steal your
spotlight she thought she was helping
you
and vapor you shouldn't have been so
content to take a back seat
now you can either stay mad or help each
other and become two of the greatest
flyers the wonderbolt academy has ever
seen
please pick the second option i don't
want spitfire to be mad at me
[Music]
you've got this guy
focus on a cloud when you spin it'll
help you fly straight when you come out
of it
[Music]
hmm
[Music]
[Applause]
oh yeah
[Applause]
[Music]
[Applause]
congratulations you both made it into
the wonder bold academy
whatever you did it worked you still
have a lot of potential
who knows they might even be better than
you crash
