.:PIRS - Protection is for fillies:.

Rainbow Dash: Urgh! Why I'm even skating? It's so much slower than flying! And I can't get scratched and have to wear those stupid "protections" when I dodge the clouds.
Twilight: Come on, Dash. Don't you want to show us how "dangerous" you are on these?
RD: Yeah. I saw Cadance over there how "dangerous" she can be.
Cadence: Hey!
T: Hey! Don't bring her up here! She tried albeit getting hurt. Unlike you who've been there for five minutes.
RD: I don't care! Just remove these... "skates" from my hooves. My wings are already itching for lack of flying.
T: *sigh* You are disapointing me, Rainbow.
RD: Yeah, yeah. Nice try. Skates. Off. Now!
T: No. Really! You keep doing reckless and dangerous things that we can't do.
C: Hey! I can do reckless and dangerous things too!
RD: Ha! Yeah, right.
C: I did stopped and defeated Sombra did I?
RD: With the help of Spike.
C: What? He only-
T: Enough! Dash! Are you going to skate or not?
RD: NO!
T: Good!
RD: Remove me those stupid protections, then I will.
T: Seriously?
RD: Hey! I got my wings to make tight turns. Unlike Cady here.
C: That's cheating!
RD: Whatever.
T: There! Removed. Are you going to....

After five minutes of skating aerobatics and figures.

RD: And that, fillies, is how you skate.
C: Of course. Since you used your wings all the time!
RD: Did not!
C: Did to!
T: All right! All right! Let's clear this up! Dash! Are you up to show Cadence here that you can skate without your wings?
RD: Yeah. Hey!
Cadence used her magic to tie the blue pegasus with a rope.
RD: Not that tight! It hurts!
C: Oups! Sorry. I just wanted to be sure.
RD: *groan*
T: Ready?
C: Wait a minute! From the ramp!
RD: Anything to make you shut up!
C: We'll see.
T: Ready, Dash?
RD: Yep! After that I will teach the pink princess how to really skate!

Later at the hospital.

RD: W-what happened?
T: Rainbow? Are you okay?
RD: Everything is so.... hazy... Ow! My head...
T: You tried the same figure as earlier and you nearly fell on your head if it wasn't for Cadence who caught you in time.
RD: R-really?
Twilight nodded.
RD: Then... w-why I'm here?
T: *exasperated sigh* You tried it again.
RD: What? How come I can't remember?
T: It's the aftermath of hitting your head.
RD: Where was Cadence then?
T: You shouted at her for interfering at your first try.
RD: Huh? Am I an idiot?
T: Well, you tell me.
RD: *deadpan face* You are very encouraging.
T: I leave you getting some rest. See you later.
RD: *sigh* Yeah yeah...

In the hall.
C: Is she okay?
T: She is, thought she didn't remember what happened.
C: Good.
T: You really think this is a good thing that she thinks she nearly did it the first time?
C: Knowing how much proud she is about herself, yes.
T: She did hit her at her first try, but after what she said about you... I don't see why doing this?
C: Who will insult the one who saved you neck once?
T: But not the second one?
C: .... Got you a point. Let me talk to her.
T: NO!
C: Huh?
T: That's enough Cadence.
RD: Yeah! That's enough!
T: Dash?!
C: W-what are you doing here?
RD: I heard all your little conversation! So, I failed my first attempted, huh? And you never actually caught me? Well, miss crystal pink princess, I dare you to race against me on those damn skates!
C: What?
RD: Dash! Did you just forget that you hurt your head?
C: That's... fine, Twilight. I accept.
T: What?!
RD: Oh, yeah! We will race in.... in... whoa... whoa...
She fainted.
C: What happened?
T: Effects of head trauma. I'm going to put her back on her bed.

Later in Rainbow Dash's room, Twilight and Cadence were waiting for her awakening.
RD: Uh.... w-what happened?
T: Rainbow? How do you feel?
RD: My head hurts. Why I'm here?
C: You don't remember?
RD: Uh, no.
T: You... hit your head while attempting a skate acrobatic without the help of your wings.
RD: Really?
C: See? That's why you wear an helmet.
RD: But I don't see any scratches on my legs... so...  see Twilight? I don't need those stupid protections.
T: Urgh.
C: Do you... remember anything else?
RD: Nope.
C: Oh.
T: I'm glad you are okay. We got to leave now. Do you need anything?
RD: Maybe a certain book about a certain pony?
T: *giggle* I'll bring you the latest one of Daring Do.
RD: Thanks.

Outside.
T: So, Cadence?
C: What?
T: Happy that she forgot the challenge?
C: Well... I'm kinda disappointed. She was not scaring me. At all.

From her room's window, Rainbow shouted in their direction.

RD: Hey! Cadence!
C: Huh?
T: What the...
RD: See you in a week! Better practice until then!
T: Still disappointed?
C: Damn!
