As Vapor Trail heads for the showers, Twilight and Rainbow confront her, where Vapor admits that she helped Sky Stinger become better, while also not thinking about her own career as a flyer that much. Twilight says that she'll coach Sky on the basics, while Rainbow will help Vapor with more advanced tricks. Through practice, it's clear that Sky is nowhere near as good as he claims to be without Vapor, and while Vapor does improve with Rainbow, she still holds herself back. When meeting up after training, Sky boasts that she still doesn't think the practice is worth it, which makes Vapor blurt out that she's been helping him.

In the rest of training, Sky Stinger has lost all confidence and motivation. Spitfire tells Rainbow and Twilight to help him get his confidence back, and the two of them get Sky and Vapor close again. They say that Vapor was never trying to steal Sky's spotlight, and that Vapor should not have been content to take a backseat to Sky. The two friends make up, and begin helping each other in practice, both improving on their own. At the solo trials, both Sky and Vapor perform well, allowing the two to pass the test, entering into the Wonderbolt Academy.
With the friendship problem solved, Rainbow and Twilight head back to Ponyville, with Rainbow finally able to relax. Just as she sets herself down, Misty Fly appears, saying that a Wonderbolt emergency has come up, and that she's needed at the Academy again, causing a frustrated Rainbow to collapse onto the floor.
