:iconstarlightsohappyplz: : How are you doing up there, Scootaloo?
 
Scootaloo Smile sprite : Awesome, Starlight. Just awesome!
 
:iconstarlightseriouslyplz: : Now remember, Scoots… my magic is just giving you lift. You’re using your wings to propel yourself forward, just like Rainbow Dash said before we took off. You’re exercising those wings so you can go forward in the air the same way you do on the ground when you’re riding your scooter. When you stop flapping you’re just going to float there, so don’t worry if you get tired–
 
Chibi Scootaloo Icon : WOO HOO! I’m FINALLY FLYING! Well, almost flying. Ya gotta start somewhere. Thanks, Starlight! (squee)
 
:iconstarlightcuteplz: : (blushes) You’re welcome, Scootaloo. (warm smile) I don’t think you’ll tire out any time soon.
 
Starlight Glimmer, who uses a flight spell to magically fly, lends her powers to Rainbow Dash’s adopted sister Scootaloo in helping the little filly practice her flying skills. They are both unable to fly on their own natural strength, so they’re meant to be magic flying buddies! It makes Starlight so happy to help another misunderstood and outcast pony overcome her weaknesses and work toward her dreams. It’s just like experiencing a second fillyhood–and a happy one too!
