One of the pegasi gave Rainbow Dash a dirty look through his heavy goggles before turning back to Rarity, giving a reassuring smile. "She's right, ma'am. There's a dozen ponies a week who do this - a lot of them regulars! We got a spotless safety record and all of us have thousands of hours' airtime under our belts! You're in good hooves!"
The words hardly gave Rarity any comfort. She continued to glare sullenly at Rainbow Dash as the colt slipped a helmet over her perfectly-coiffed mane and set the lumpy, ungainly goggles over her eyes, no doubt smearing her mascara. Meanwhile, his partner, a mare, clipped a second line to the unicorn, then to her back, before giving it a quick tug. What she saw, Rarity had no clue, but she nodded, satisfied.
She heard the older pegasus again. "Arright, we're takin' off in just a minute! You got Tailslide and Chandelle pullin' you today - they'll be doing all the hard stuff! All you gotta do is hang on tight!"
She'd have no problem doing that - she was already gripping the handles on the glider so tightly they would need magic to pry her off of it. She clenched her perfect white teeth and tried to maintain her composure as adrenaline buzzed through her, making everything shake. Despite her best efforts, however, a small whimper escaped her lips, and she could have sworn she heard Rainbow Dash snicker before she heard Tailslide's voice.
"Okay! Go go GO!"
"Have fun up there!" Even without seeing her, Rarity could HEAR the disgusting smirk in Rainbow Dash's voice. She opened her mouth to retort, but was quickly drowned out by her own screaming as the lines pulled taut and she was promptly yanked off the ground and into the air. |
