Fluttershy steps up to the starting line, trembling. Everypony else is lined up along the track, watching her. (They're also giving supportive smiles, but those don't register so much.)
She takes a deep breath and lifts herself into the air, then forward. After a few moments, she begins to relax. This isn't hard, and nopony's laughing at her.
Or maybe they are. As she passes Cloudchaser and Flitterheart, they begin to giggle. It's completely innocent, but Fluttershy is immediately cast back to flight camp and the other fillies' teasing. She doesn't fall out of the air, but she does slow down substantially - just as she reaches Twilight and the anemometer.
