What It's Like to Fly

Xavier's Flight

The Wonderbolts harnessed themselves to the sky chariot. Xavier and Fluttershy rode in the chariot, while Rainbow Dash and Twilight Sparkle flew alongside.
“Wow, this is the biggest thrill I’ve ever had!” Xavier cried. “The air rushing through my mane, the clouds going by, looking down on the world below—it’s like you said, Dash! It’s freedom! Hey Twilight, you look like you’ve got this flying thing down! Does it feel like you do?”
“More than it used to,” Twilight said. “I’m starting to be able to relax and have fun with it. It’s still kind of a novelty. It doesn’t come naturally to me like it does to these guys.”
After a good long ride above Ponyville and the surrounding mountains, the Wonderbolts brought the chariot in for a landing near Sweet Apple Acres, where the group was given a party by Pinkie Pie and Apple Jack. Rarity, in the meantime, measured the Wonderbolts for the costumes that they would wear at their upcoming air show.
“Hey Xavier, there’s one more pony you should interview for your project,” Rainbow Dash said.
“One of the Wonderbolts?” Xavier asked.
“Well, them too. But I was thinking of Pinkie Pie. She’s always up on Cloud Nine!”
“Pinkie’s kind of a story in herself,” Xavier said. “In fact, each of you is so unique that you deserve your own biography. Thank you for this wonderful experience. I couldn’t have completed my project without you!”
“Well, Xavier, you taught us something today too,” Twilight Sparkle said. “In order to really see the world, we have to be willing to look at it from perspectives other than our own. I would venture to say that you are wiser than you know!”
