The way I work it in the 3.5 D&D campaign I run is that vapor is basically vapor. Quality of source might matter as much as the shoes on an NBA player do (which is to say: only very slightly more than zilch). The difference between a cloud made by Fluttershy and one by Rainbow Dash would be the power and skill of the magic in the vapor… actually Fluttershy might make a better cloud in SOME cases, because she can apply “patience and time” to the job better than “Blue Fast” can.

In this case, since Scootaloo is going to be riding it, I am sure that Dash put in the time needed to make it safe!

Flying wheelchair for the win!

this is her own nimbus!

Then pony Marty McFly borrows the skateboard to get away from pony Biff.

Why haven’t they done this in the show? This is brilliant!

GENIUS

…Why the heck hasn’t anyone thought of this before? o__O

And then when Scootaloo learned how to make them herself, she got a cloud manipulation cutie mark.

Water vapor is water vapor

@Greenjack  
She made it from the steam of a teapot. I don’t know how Cloud manipulation works, but I somehow have doubts about the consistency of the chicken’s scooter…

@Background Pony  
but they can make cloud houses, and I’m pretty certain that one of them was using a jackhammer on clouds, so I’d guess they can make extremely strong clouds too.

If you ask me, this is very dangerous. Knowing the natural ability of pegasi to manipulate clouds, one wrong touch and… pouff

I knew it would turn out alright. This happy moment is just the kind of thing we need right about now.

@Background Pony  
Yeah, but at the same time, they certainly haven’t ruled this concept out despite how easy it would be to do.  
Just show Scoots sustaining flight for even a short period and they would never have to think about this idea.  
The fact that they seem to be making a point of never showing her really fly implies that they just might be leaving that door open to explore at some point.  
If not, no harm done, but it would be amazing to see.

@DeadParrot222  
Faust likely left the show over resistance from Hasbro to her ideas, so I find it hard to believe we’ll ever see anything like them.

God, I so hope we get to see something like this in Season 4!  
It’s perfectly in line with Faust’s original plans and would be such an amazing piece of character development!

Hey, I wrote that!  
Glad you liked it! =)

Oh, I can’t wait until the next gush of wind and we’ll finally have a Scootacrash & burn!

Achievement Unlocked!
 
A Picture’s Worth…  
*Complete a story with no dialogue

Boy, did I need these feels. T_T

Strangely, I imagine this would be like the episodes Lauren Faust originally planned for Scootaloo.

@Grieffon
 
Tell me about it.  
All this drama is just ruining the mood.

We definitely need this after the recent bad news and drama.

Awwww!

HURRAY

This reminds me of the fic ‘Tiny Wings’. That fic never fail to give me feels.
