Fluttershy did not watch him as he vanished into the clouds. Instead, she hung her head sadly. Noticing this, one of her ferret friends bounded up to her. He put a sympathetic paw on her foreleg and looked up at her face.
"Oh...oh, please..don't worry about me, little friend," she said. "It...I guess...maybe...it might have been nice to be one of them. I would be scared...at first...but I think I would get over it. Maybe I would have even become better at talking to other ponies. Maybe...maybe I could start to feel...like it's okay...to be me."
The ferret cocked his head inquisitively.
"But, no, I won't...I won't ever take that from her." Fluttershy spoke in her usual tone, as if the tears falling down her cheek weren't even there. "I won't...it's her dream. Not mine."
Sitting in the meadow with Twilight, Rainbow Dash spied the distant figure of the Wonderbolt captain as he left town.
"Did you see that? There he is again!" she said. "Ooooh! I bet he heard about my latest stunt and was asking around about me! I'd better practice! Later, Twilight!" With that, Rainbow Dash took to the skies.
Not far away, Fluttershy wiped away the last of her tears and went back inside. Just before she closed the door, the wind picked up, and she caught a glimpse of her friend soaring through the air.
"Someday..." she said.
"Whooo!" came a distant voice from high above. "Living the dream!"
