Tank and Rainbow Dash give some old bullies their comeuppance, retro-style.

(don't worry, Tank's probably got that cloud-walking spell from Twilight put on him)


EDIT: Yeah, I realize that the eyes are kinda screwy here and there. I was trying out a different technique for making and coloring their eyes, but obviously it didn't end very well.

I thought they made up after the flight competition! The only time we see them pick on her after this was during a flashback! Why are they still picking on her when she got a tortoise sometime after the competition? Still pretty funny though!

Uh dude, you ever heard of envy or jealously? They can drive people to be real jerks.

Who would be jealous about someone owning a pet tortoise!? And furthermore, I don't think they seem like the jealous type! With Trixie you can tell she was meant to be the jealous type, but these guys seemed more like the "Point and laugh" type! And besides, they picked on Rainbow Dash even before she could perform a Sonic Rainboom (even when she was a filly), what would they be jealous of without it!?

Never said they were jealous of Tank, though they bloody well should be, just that jealously can make people jerks.

Rainbow Dash is supremely confident in her abilities, so much so it's hard to tell any difference between it and outright arrogance. She probably showed up a lot of other children at flight camp just by being the best she can be, and not being modest about it. This could lead to other children pointing out every flaw RD makes, and since she seems younger than them that would be quite a few mistakes as she still learning.

Also, if they're not jealous then they're just the worse kind of bully. They like to pick on those who can't defend themselves against attack, like Fluttershy and RD about how she can't do another Sonic Rainboom.

Okay, that went on a bit. Hopefully I justified myself well enough.

If someone kept saying how great they were, I wouldn't be jealous of them, I would just think they were being uptight and annoying! Watch the beginning of the episode "Hiccy Burp" from Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends and you'll see what I mean!

AND OF COURSE they picked on Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash when they were foals, but does that make them the worst bullies??? Maybe. But the thing is not everyone is a bully forever! In fact most of the time, when they make up with someone they picked on, they stop being bullies! That is something called a 'phase!' It's like if you were into the Super Nintendo until the Nintendo 64 came out and you wanted to play THAT instead!
