On the season finale (spoilers ahead)

[magicalrealist]

So...i-it's really official now, isn't it? All I could've wanted was for my friends to go back to the ponies I know and love them as, but this...I don't know what to say. I just...want to thank all of my friends for being there. None of this would be possible if I didn't meet them when I came to Ponyville.

(She rolls her eyes.)

...And yes, you can add this to your list of titles for me. How many are on the list now? Princess, Touhou Girl, Jedi Knight...

...The One Free Mare? You're going to have to explain that one; I only know the term half-life for its literal definition.

That shouldn't be too hard. There's plenty of things we can use to construct them.

(But for the sake of keeping the pace going, Twilight goes ahead and MAGICS a couple of hoops to make for a decent obstacle course.)

This should work, right?

[dashingrainbow]

Yeah! These are perfect. Now you just have to try and go right through them all. It's harder than it looks.

[magicalrealist]

Let's see how hard it is.

(And Twilight takes off! At least she has that much taken care of. She has basic navigation and control down too, but the setup is a little too tight for her and she ungracefully skids across a few of them, but manages through okay.)

Phew...how was that?

[dashingrainbow]

Not bad, not bad. Now let me show you how a pro does it. [Dash goes full tilt at the hoops, weaving in and out of them in crazy interact ways!]

[magicalrealist]

(And of course, Twilight isn't surprised to see Rainbow weave through them with great ease. She's been doing this much longer than the unicorn alicorn.)

You make it look so easy, Rainbow...I'll admit it; after trying it myself, I'm impressed with what you can do.

[dashingrainbow]

Thanks! I am a pretty awesome flier. Here, I'll move then farther apart so you can work on aiming for the center of them. Also, don't just think about the one right infront of you. If you aim for the very end of them, you'll see a line to follow while you're flying, like a tunnel.

[Dash gets to moving the hoops.]

There, now try again, a little slower too.

[magicalrealist]

A tunnel...hmmm...

(Made sense. If she envisioned the entire course instead of just what's right in front of her, she's probably have an easier time navigating. That and this way relied less on reflexes.

So this time, Twilight gives it a shot, aiming for the very end as Rainbow suggested. There's still hints of inexperience in her flying, but at least the tunnel technique helped her perform better!)

[dashingrainbow]

[Dash cheers her on!]

That was great, Twilight! You'll be flying with me in no time!

[magicalrealist]

Thanks, Rainbow. With your help, I'll perfect flying in no time!
