(As the PokeGear clicks on, unbeknownst to the trainer who wields it, Rainbow Dash has kinda gotten used to her body and use of her legs by now and despite the coldness of the day - but not up early in the morning; this is Dash we're talking about - she doesn't totally mind dealing with the weather while trekking to Violet, eager to meet up with her friends.
The girl had stopped briefly in Cherrygrove Monday afternoon for a night's rest and some much-needed items, like some potions to tend to her Pokemon if they got hurt, food for herself since it would take a week before she saw another city and a little more Pokemon food. Yes, potions as well as regular and Pokemon food. The girl does think ahead sometimes. (She also bought a pair of shades to show off her 'coolness' during future Gym battles.)
What was already with her, as in what she'd found in the backpack was the usual essentials a new trainer needed and an extra set of clothes: a jacket, pants, fingerless gloves and a hat. (Rainbow uses the jacket to hide her chest, as per Twilight's request.)
Before getting back on the path, Dash has currently taken up jogging as a way to test out her feet and legs on how fast she is; at the same time, she's trying to perform daring feats of unpredictable skill against nearby trees that she shouldn't have yet as evidenced by the way she wobbles every now and then to try and maintain her balance.
As she tries another fantastic, not-really-planned move she glances down to notice Blaze holding up the 'Gear and suddenly trips before crashing to the ground with a scream.)
...Blaze! Who said you could turn on my 'Gear like that? (She sighs before tugging it from Blaze's hands.)
Sorry about that; obviously Blaze felt like playing and turned it on, eheh. Oh, as long as I'm on...Twilight! I looked at that list and figured out which 5 I like best, but I already know what I'm gonna get.

Besides, I've known her since we were fillies...but you were here for her for...a really long time, I'd bet!
(Rainbow Dash's loyalty before her own desires.)

But she's still not sure Rainbow's right.]
I... When it comes to bringing us together, I always kind of saw it as the other way around, really. I was trying to take everything on my shoulders, but none of you would let me do something so stupid, so... you went with me. You saved me from myself.
As for Discord, you're forgetting... I was the one who lead us into the maze and got you all into his clutches in the first place. Me saving you all that time was just me fixing my own mistakes. I mean, it was Fluttershy who-
[She stops there. She stops, and her hands, which clenched into fists halfway through her self-hating diatribe, start to relax.]
Fluttershy who... told me none of that was important, when I brought it up to her. That all that mattered was that I succeeded in the end, even if I made mistakes along the way.
... I'm being an idiot, aren't I?
[Video]
For someone who I've called an egghead and a smart pony, you weren't acting like it! I've made tons of mistakes and somehow, they all worked out in the end! You should remember; I messed up big time in Cloudsdale during the Best Young Flyer's competition but still earned the title. And even when you saw I got...a little full of myself 'cause I loved being Ponyville's hero, who reminded me that I had to learn modesty?
(Not just Twilight, but Fluttershy, Rarity, Pinkie and Applejack...and it was a LOT.)

[Or she thinks she's done something wrong when she hasn't. A mental image of herself begging her friends not to hate her for saving the village from an Ursa Minor comes to mind. She tilts her head back, thinking it over.]
The fact is, I was thinking that each of you has something important you could do for her, to make her time here... better. I couldn't do any of what you girls could do for her, so how could she be better off with me? But I was forgetting something important.

...And what's that?

(Rainbow lets out a breath she didn't know she whas holding. This was why she 'unofficially' saw herself as Twilight's Lieutenant or 2nd even though they weren't war ponies, and they weren't even back at home.)

[Her or AJ, really, depending on the situation.]
