nponyc: (Rainbow Dash)
All eyes are on Rainbow Dash as she flies up in front of the projector screen. "So, here's the scoop," she begins. "Cloudsdale has chosen our own Highland Reservoir as the source of the rainwater they need for all of Equestria. And you know what that means. It means it's up to Ponyville's pegasi to bring that water up to Cloudsdale!"

The pegasi crowded into the library murmur in pleasant surprise.

"Not only that," says Rainbow Dash, pulling down another screen, "but Spitfire, captain of the Wonderbolts, will be here to oversee the water transfer and record our top tornado windspeed. Now, last year Fillydelphia broke the windspeed record with a top speed of 910 wingpower. But I think we can do better. I think we can get a top speed of over a thousand!"

More murmuring--this time, less pleased and more surprised. There are only about a hundred pegasi in Ponyville, can they really break a thousand wingpower all by themselves?

"If," says Rainbow Dash loudly, breaking through the chatter, "each and every pony trains, and trains hard, to get their wingpower numbers up." Somepony coughs in the back row. "That coughing better be from a popcorn kernel, Thunderlane. Nopony's gettin' sick on my watch! So, are we gonna train hard?"

"Yeah!" the assembled pegasi cry.

"Are we gonna be strong?"

"Yeah!"

"Are we gonna be fast?"

"YEAH!"

"Record-smashing fast?"

"YEAH!!!"

"Who's with me?!"

The crowd erupts into cheers, with ponies drumming their hooves on the ground or doing loop-the-loops through the air.

But there's one pegasus who's not cheering or stomping. One who was cringing in the front row through the whole presentation, and is now nowhere to be found.

"Fluttershy," Rainbow Dash mutters. This can't be good.
