- Scootaloo wants to participate in the Equestria Games, but after some discouraging words by Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon regarding her small wings, she worries that Ms. Harshwhinny might not pick her.
- In anticipation of the Equestria Games, Ms Harshwhinny and Rainbow Dash are allowing a group from Ponyville's school to perform a flag-waving routine for the Games. Several of the students form teams, and the Cutie Mark Crusaders decide to make a routine in regards to the fact that they make up all 3 factions of pony: Earth, Unicorn, and Pegasus.
However, Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon attempt to rile them up, claiming that they won't be considered because they don't have their cutie marks. The girls just brush off this latest taunt, and show Rainbow Dash what they got. Dash is excited, and Diamond and Silver are shocked.
Realizing they can't upset the CMC's regarding their lack of Cutie Marks, the two then cause Scootaloo to doubt herself, claiming that even though a pegasus is part of their routine, Scootaloo can't fly.
This seems to get under Scootaloo's skin, and she tries to force herself to fly, as well as pushes her friends to keep practicing their routine until they are soon sick and tired of it.
On the day the different groups are headed to The Crystal Empire to perform before Ms Harshwhinny, Scootaloo claims she isn't going, as she still cannot fly.
Later on the train, Rainbow finds Applebloom and Sweetie Belle, but is shocked when the two claim they left their friend behind. Rainbow then has the girls get off the train, and they rush back to Ponyville.
Finding Scootaloo, she tells of her fear that she may never fly, and that she can't make a difference, but the girls and Rainbow tell her that she just has to do what she can. This helps, and the group rushes off to the Crystal Empire, where they perform their routine. It stirs up emotions in Ms Harshwhinny, and she happily proclaims the girls to be the chosen ones for the flag-waving team.
