Calling all pegasus ponies,
meeting tonight!
Mandatory meeting for all Ponyville pegasi.
Library, tonight!
Be cool or be mule!
No offence.
None taken.
Alright, go on in,
find a seat.
You too, Fluttershy.
Come on, let's go.
My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic
Season 2, Episode 22 Hurricane Fluttershy
Every living thing depends on the life-giving nourishment of rainwater.
And it is up to Cloudsdale to provide rain-filled clouds
to every corner of Equestria.
But how, one pony might ask, does Cloudsdale gather all this extra water?
Tornado power!
That's right,
pegasi-driven tornado power!
A team of pegasi combine their wing power to create a jumbo tornado,
powerful enough to pull water out of the local reservoirs
and funnel it all the way up to Cloudsdale.
Remember, pegasi,
your jumbo tornado
must reach a minimum of 800 wing power
to lift that water up to Cloudsdale.
So the next time you're wondering
where does all that extra rainwater come from,
just remember…
Hey Spike! What are you doing?
Intermission?
So, here's the scoop.
Cloudsdale has chosen our own highland reservoir
as a source of the rainwater they need for all of Equestria.
And you know what that means!
It means its up to Ponyville's pegasi to bring that water up to Cloudsdale!
Not only that,
but Spitfire,
captain of the Wonderbolts,
will be here to oversee the water transfer
and record our top tornado wind speed.
Now last year,
Fillydelphia broke the wind speed record
with a top speed of 910 wing power.
But I think we can do better!
I think we can get our top speed over a thousand!
IF
each and every pony trains,
and trains hard to get their wing power numbers up.
That coughing better be from a popcorn kernel Thunderlane!
Nopony's getting sick on my watch!
So, are we gonna train hard?
Yeah!
Are we gonna be strong?
Yeah!
Are we gonna be fast?
YEAH!
Record-smashing fast?
YEEEAH!
Who's with me?!
Fluttershy!
Stretch those glutes, Flitter!
Nice flexibility, Cloudchaser!
A little too much flexibility, Blossomforth!
Somepony give Blossomforce a hoof!
Let's see some faster trotting, Thunderlane!
Good pace, Silver Speed!
Keep it up!
We're gonna need all the wing power we can get
to break that record!
YEEEEAH!
Good work everypony!
Everypony except Fluttershy…
Fluttershy,
I know you're in there!
You're avoiding tornado duty and I want to know why!
Fluttershy, open…
Hi Rainbow Dash!
Fluttershy, what happened to you?
Oh, I…
I think I have
the pony pox.
I'm sorry,
I really, really wanted to come to training day today…
But this pony pox has really knocked me for a loop.
Aw, you poor thing!
You know, there's only one cure for pony pox!
I know,
plenty of bed…
Cold water!
Those pony pox are clearing right up.
You know,
all of a sudden
I'm… I'm starting to feel better.
I'll just get outta these robes and…
Oh, my wing, ow, it's hurt.
I guess I can't fly after all.
Messed up wing, huh?
Stop horsing around, Fluttershy.
We've got a lot of training to do!
Come on now,
what's going on?
Well,
you see,
well…
Oh, Rainbow Dash,
I just can't do it,
I can't fly!
What are you talking about?
Just last week you went into that wicked nose dive
to save that falling baby bird right before it hit the ground!
But that was different,
that was an emergency!
This whole tornado thing…
It's more like a performance.
And you know how I hate performing in front of others!
Don't you remember flight camp?
I couldn't gallop hard or fly fast,
not with everypony looking at me!
It wasn't that bad!
You're right, Rainbow Dash,
it wasn't bad,
it was horrible!
All the other foals used to tease me.
A lot!
Fluttershy, Fluttershy,
Fluttershy can hardly fly!
I just can't risk that sort of humiliation again!
Suck it up, Fluttershy!
This is no time for…
I mean,
confidence or no confidence,
I'm gonna need every pegasus to break the record,
including you!
I need every ounce of wingpower I can get!
Oh, I don't think so, Rainbow Dash!
Thanks anyway.
Wait.
I'll do it.
You will?
I will.
You're game?
I'm game!
All right!
What exactly does this machine do?
This is an anemometer.
It measures your accelerative velocity and translates it into wing power,
thus gauging your cumulative H2O anti-gravitational potential.
Any other questions?
Yeah.
What exactly does this machine do?
It tells you how fast you're flying and how strong your wings are.
Oh. Okay. Yeah. Right.
Is that you again, Thunderlane?
Please, we need to have a germ-free environment!
It wasn't me, it was Blossomforth!
Don't worry Twilight,
Thunderlane is just cooking up an excuse
to spend Tornado Day in bed.
Why don't you get over here and be our first test flyer, Thunderlane?
We have 9.3 wing power!
Wow, that's fast! YEAH!
Not bad, not bad!
16.5 wing power!
Now listen up!
If each of you can get your numbers up to at least
10.0 wind power by the end of the week,
we'll no doubt set a new tornado speed record!
We'll be number one!
YEAH!
Impressive!
Fluttershy, your turn!
Fluttershy, Fluttershy,
Fluttershy can hardly fly!
Tell her!
No, you tell her!
No, you!
Um… great job, Fluttershy!
You measured, uh…
point five!
Point five?
Isn't that like…
like, less than one?
Fluttershy, Fluttershy,
Fluttershy can hardly fly!
Fluttershy, Fluttershy,
Fluttershy can hardly fly!
Fluttershy, Fluttershy…
Fluttershy, wait!
So some punks poked a little fun at you and you got stage fright.
Big deal!
You're not gonna go quit just because of that, are you?
Yes!
But I need you!
I'm sorry, Rainbow Dash,
I just don't have the courage right now!
Aw, thank you,
but I'm afraid a couple of little acorns won't solve my
big flying problem.
I tried, but…
Oh, you should have seen those ponies laughing at me!
I know it's important to have confidence in myself.
Yes, yes I do remember.
The river was swelling…
And you were scared…
Yes,
I did tell you to never give up.
And to believe in yourself.
You're right, my friends,
I shouldn't give up.
I will get my confidence up and show everypony
that I am a good flyer!
A great flyer!
That's wonderful, Flitter.
Much better than yesterday!
This is crazy awesome!
We're gonna smash that record!
What did he say?
Do I look like I speak squirrel?
What's that?
2.3?
Two. Point. Three?!
That has to be some kind of mistake!
I worked so hard!
Fluttershy, that's a huge improvement!
You did awesome, Fluttershy!
No I didn't!
I thought I'd gotten over my nerves,
but they still got the best of me.
There's no way I'll fly with 10.0 wingpower tomorrow!
So you won't fly with 10.0 wingpower.
Every bit counts!
How would you feel if everypony else was flying with 10.0 wingpower,
and you were flying with 2.5?
Actually it was only 2.3 and…
Well, uh,
I'd feel, umm…
Exactly!
Humiliated!
I'm sorry Rainbow Dash, I just can't do it!
It's okay, Rainbow Dash!
You've still got plenty of wingpower for your tornado!
They'll be able to lift tons of water up to Cloudsdale!
If only there was a way to lift Fluttershy out of the dumps…
Are we ready to do this?!
YEAH! YEAH!
Look!
Lazy Thunderlane!
Where is he?!
He's been trying to get out of tornado duty the whole time with his fake coughing and all.
Rumble, where's your lazy brother?
He's got the feather flu,
he's down at Ponyville hospital.
But he's not the only one.
Let's see, with those eight sick pegasi out with the feather flu…
Oh no!
Don't tell me we won't be able to break the wind speed record!
No…
You might not have enough wingpower to create a tornado powerful enough to lift the water to Cloudsdale!
Well,
shall we pack up?
No,
of course not!
Forget the record,
Cloudsdale still needs water.
Okay everypony,
let's give it all we've got!
On the sound of the horn we take off!
You think they're gonna make it to 800 wingpower?
I sure hope so.
150 wingpower!
250 wingpower!
500 wingpower!
750 wingpower!
Twilight!
Fluttershy!
What are you doing here?
I figured if I couldn't help Rainbow Dash with the tornado,
the least I could do was offer moral support.
She could sure use it,
considering that eight pegasi are sick with the feather flu!
Oh no!
That's terrible news!
Are you okay?
I'm fine.
Oh, you were so close to the 800 wingpower minimum!
I'm sorry, Rainbow Dash.
We've got to try again!
You pushed your crew to their limit already!
If you break apart again, somepony could get hurt!
You should quit, it's not safe!
No!
One more time!
I gotta know we gave it our all!
If I'm going down,
I'm going down flying!
Come on, ponies!
Let's make this happen!
Yeah! Come on!
YEAH!
Okay, here we go.
100 wingpower!
200!
500!
Stay in position!
Flap those wings!
Faster!
700!
750 wingpower!
They fell apart right after this!
Oh, I'm too nervous to look!
Come on,
just a little harder!
I can see the water trying to funnel through!
795!
They are so close!
Fluttershy, they need you up there!
I won't make a difference!
You can make a difference!
My measly 2.3 wingpower is still too little!
It's sticking at 795!
I don't know if they've got any more in them!
Do it for Equestria!
Do it for Rainbow Dash!
Do it for yourself!
It's moving!
She's doing it!
798!
She surpassed her past wingpower number!
Fluttershy, Fluttershy, Fluttershy can hardly fly!
No!
What was that?
I think it was…
Fluttershy?
She did it!
They all did it!
We did it!
You did it!
Woah girl, take it easy!
Wha… What?
Did we do it?
Yeah,
we did it!
You did it!
Great job, Fluttershy,
that was awesome!
Yeah,
we couldn't have done it without you!
Nice job, Rainbow Dash!
You may not have set a new record, but you showed a lot of guts!
Thanks!
But, if you wanna talk guts,
then you've gotta give it to my number one flyer -
Fluttershy!
Let's hear it for Fluttershy!
Fluttershy, Fluttershy, Fluttershy can really fly!
Dear Princess Celestia,
sometimes you can feel like what you have to offer is too little to make a difference,
but today I learned that everypony's contribution is important,
no matter how small.
If you just keep your head high,
do your best and believe in yourself…
Anything can happen!
