Sisterly Encouragement, From Preamble To Denouement
Scootaloo: So how is this collar going to help me finally fly?
Rainbow Dash: Hopefully for you it will force you to fly by ‘motivating’ you: Level 1!
Scootaloo: Ow! Rainbow Dash, that hurts!
Rainbow Dash: That’s the idea! This collar contains Cloudsdale lightning that can shock the wearer. Every time you fail, we go up a level, all the way up to Level 7. You want a happy ending to this little drama? Only if you fly!
Scootaloo: What?!
Rainbow Dash: Level 2!
Scootaloo: Aah! But Rainbow Dash, why are you doing this?! You said you would be my big sister!
Rainbow Dash: I’m doing this to help you and/or entertain me! And I did say I would be your big sister, but you said you would fly, yet you just embarrass me! We resolve it all today. Level 3!
Scootaloo: Uuuh! Okay, I’ll try, I promise!
[Scootaloo starts her trademark buzzing and lurching around.]
Rainbow Dash: Level 4!
Scootaloo [feebly flapping away]: Nnnn! How can you do this to me?! It really hurts! I’m trying, I swear!
Rainbow Dash: I can do this with a smile as big as the skies, and clearly you’re not trying hard enough! Level 5!
Scootaloo [starting to sob]: Eeeeek! Please, Rainbow Dash! Flying is my dream! I cry myself to sleep every night wishing I wasn’t a useless pegasus! I want to fly! I’ve tried so hard! I just can’t! I’m so sorry if I angered you! Please don’t do this! I thought you loved me!
Rainbow Dash: Sounds to me like you’re……chicken! Remember, no hovering, no dodo nonsense: sustained, genuine flight. And you’re right to be sorry, but I could never love a lame flightless pegasus filly. Listen to my voice, and know that I’m serious when I say that I will not stop until we reach the bitter end! Level 6!
Scootaloo: Noooooo! Sweet Celestia! I’m in so much pain! I can’t take it, Rainbow Dash!
Rainbow Dash: Awesome! We’ll finally find out if you can literally fly to save your life! Welcome to Level 7!
Scootaloo: AAAAAAA! Somepony heeeeeeelp meeeeeee! AAAAAAA!
