S06:E07 - Newbie Dash

[Night Sky 843]

Especially of late in the series, Dash's ego had simply been out of hand.

She had made progress beforehand, and it's not that she'd taken any steps backwards, but really, bragging is pretty much all Dash has had to do of late at this point in the show.

Dash and Fluttershy have been way in the background for a lot of season 5 and 6, so this episode featuring her was a long overdue return to AWESOME and a refueling of Cool, the tank is now 20% fuller. 

She seems to have gotten it straight in her head, and is able to admit it.

Fitting in matters at least as much as standing out does.

Life is a careful balancing act between the two.

I can relate to acting five different ways just because I thought it would make people like me.

The pain of realizing that I'd made a fool of myself is not something I'm likely to forget.

But persistence is key, and learning to have the slightest sense of humor about one's self, like say about a nickname like Crash, can be the key.

And thus, Rainbow Dash is able to pull herself together and just BE a Wonderbolt, now that she's finally earned it.
