Commander Easy Glider.
186
00:07:39,820 --> 00:07:42,575
Do you know how many Pegasi
flew in the original squad?
187
00:07:43,098 --> 00:07:43,615
Um...
188
00:07:43,873 --> 00:07:44,452
Seven!
189
00:07:44,776 --> 00:07:47,715

favorite flight pattern?
190
00:07:48,183 --> 00:07:50,569

191
00:07:50,794 --> 00:07:53,143
See? I could
pass the test.
192
00:07:53,658 --> 00:07:54,158
Fine.
193
00:07:54,323 --> 00:07:55,555

don't you?
194
00:07:55,797 --> 00:07:59,293
Besides, I don't see why I have
to take this lousy test anyway.
195
00:07:59,547 --> 00:08:02,080
I've proven I'm one of
the best fliers around.
196
00:08:02,308 --> 00:08:05,071
Knowing their origin and being
able to properly represent them
197
00:08:05,084 --> 00:08:07,765
for all of Equestria
is just as important.
198
00:08:08,019 --> 00:08:08,989
Yeah, right.
199
00:08:09,178 --> 00:08:11,471

must've made that up
200
00:08:11,484 --> 00:08:13,065

201
00:08:13,305 --> 00:08:16,130

is beneficial, Rainbow.

become a Wonderbolt.

doesn't mean you can fly.

a way to help Rainbow.

itchy original Wonderbolts'

vision of Flair de Mare,

breathable fabric.
287
00:12:03,342 --> 00:12:07,137
Of course, there were
fashion hits and misses.
288
00:12:08,554 --> 00:12:11,121
Just look at those
dreadful bell bottoms.
289
00:12:11,250 --> 00:12:13,036

Of course I'm real.
294
00:12:19,740 --> 00:12:21,523
I mean, I'm not the
real General Flash,
295
00:12:21,594 --> 00:12:22,963
the 10th leader of
the Wonderbolts.
296
00:12:23,162 --> 00:12:24,919
But I, Pinkie, am really real.
297
00:12:25,246 --> 00:12:28,753
And I'm Admiral Fairy Flight,
from the 7th squadron.
298
00:12:29,850 --> 00:12:32,474
And of course, you recognize
Commander Easy Glider.
299
00:12:32,899 --> 00:12:34,636

sort of get-up worn

inventive, and...Ugh!
362
00:15:02,513 --> 00:15:04,905
Hey! I know you're upset,
but you don't need to--
363
00:15:04,926 --> 00:15:08,776
(propeller clicking)
364
00:15:08,887 --> 00:15:09,693
Whoa!
365
00:15:10,323 --> 00:15:11,808
I almost slammed into that.
366
00:15:12,170 --> 00:15:12,745
Rainbow: I know!
367
00:15:12,942 --> 00:15:15,254
You were jabbering on so
much, you didn't even notice.
368
00:15:15,601 --> 00:15:16,848
But how did you notice?
369
00:15:17,110 --> 00:15:19,588
You were listening and
talking to me the whole time.
370
00:15:19,832 --> 00:15:21,699
Ha ha! You're such a rookie.
371
00:15:22,015 --> 00:15:24,659
An experienced flyer like
me knows how to multi-task.
372
00:15:25,073 --> 00:15:26,347
While you fly?
373
00:15:26,686 --> 00:15:27,428
It's essential.
374
00:15:27,908 --> 00:15:29,416
Yes, I was paying
attention to you,
375
00:15:29,590 --> 00:15:32,524
but was also scanning the sky
and the ground for any problems.
376
00:15:32,934 --> 00:15:33,744
Really?
377
00:15:34,253 --> 00:15:35,884
Flying's not just flying.
378
00:15:36,500 --> 00:15:38,105
In order to stay
safe in the sky,
379
00:15:38,353 --> 00:15:40,013
I've got to hear and
see everything
380
00:15:40,027 --> 00:15:41,352
down to the littlest detail.
381
00:15:41,945 --> 00:15:44,827
For instance, I saw Apple Bloom,
Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo
382
00:15:44,940 --> 00:15:46,126
come out of Sugar Cube Corner.
383
00:15:46,536 --> 00:15:47,385
And from the looks of it,
384
00:15:47,488 --> 00:15:49,555
they had carrot cupcakes
with sprinkles.
385
00:15:50,446 --> 00:15:53,408
And I'm thinking Big Mac
sold a huge order of apples
386
00:15:53,414 --> 00:15:57,529
to Filthy Rich because I heard
him give a very hearty, "Eeyup."
387
00:15:59,607 --> 00:16:01,529
I always make note of
everything when I fly.
388
00:16:01,957 --> 00:16:02,620
No biggie.
389
00:16:03,319 --> 00:16:03,910

Gotta go!

Yeah, I get it.
394
00:16:09,584 --> 00:16:12,686
I wouldn't want to hang out
with a loser like me either.

Rarity: Yes, but how?

Wanna go for a fly?

Didn't we just do this?

Yes but, like you said,
I'm such a newbie,
414
00:17:03,840 --> 00:17:05,455
I need all the
practice I can get.
415
00:17:07,984 --> 00:17:10,901
Yeah, well, I'm sure you'll
become a great flier in no time.

Uh,read any good books lately?

they're about,

Speaking of rocks, did
you know Pinkie Pie
425
00:17:37,683 --> 00:17:39,170
grew up on a rock farm?
426
00:17:39,738 --> 00:17:42,602
Maybe I'll go work there,

Celestia needed
