Rainbow’s POV
I work so hard everyday, working along side me was my co-workers who consisted of DawnGuard the Unicorn who had bright green and yellow mane with a pale yellow for her coat and matching green eyes as Plain Swifter the Earth Pony was blue and a yellow mane with steel grey eyes, I went by the name of Rainbow, just Rainbow. i received that name at birth because of the color of my mane, rainbow stripes that complimented my blueish grey coat. Each day i work harder and harder, trying to get the physics right and bending metal to create my ideal machinery. My idea was making a machine that would extract vital colors from a certain object so that we could create the perfect rainbow, as others would just mainly work with pure magic, i looked at the scientific side of things. Other ponies thought me insane for thinking i could make a rainbow when only a princess herself could make them, but i knew deep down that i could, with hard work and science, i would make the impossible possible!
I piece of shrapnel came loose and came clattering down, i beat my wings furiously to get out of the way as it clashed to the ground. as it clanged down i had to stand back up. i look at my wings with a sad look, i was a really weak flyer, it was so weak that i could hardly hover. i shook my head and began glaring at Plain Swifter
“what the hell! that thing nearly killed me! your job was to make sure this thing doesn’t fall apart, what good is an earth pony without any strength!” i exclaimed 
She glared at me “Yeah, well what good is a Pegasi who couldn't fly to get away huh?” 
A pain struck my heart as i turned away, my tail curling up at the side making a hypnotic rainbow swirl. slouching, i just couldn’t bare it, me, a proud family of pegasi, couldn’t fly. Plain Swifter saw what she did and she sighed as she nudges my side 
“look, sorry Rainbow, it was my fault, i was wrong, i mean, i did forget to bolt that piece in, just stop being sad please?” she states, taking a step towards me 
I shook my head “no you’re right, i’m pathetic” i then opened my wings, inspecting them and looking at the color of how my greyish blue coat gave off slight rainbow shimmers in the light “what good is having beautiful wings if you can’t use them right” 
Dawn Guard went up to my side, sitting down and placing a hoof on my shoulder 
“come on then, it ain’t all that bad, i mean i can’t use my horn properly, all i could do is levitate and power stuff up, you have brains Rainbow, something other pony’s don’t get” 
“You’re quick on you feet and always there to help us” PlainSwift states smiling at me
i couldn't help but smile myself, “you’re right!” i then got up “thanks guys, i just, lost it there for a moment” 
“hey no prob for a friend ey?” Plain states 
it wasn't the first time that i felt down because of my flightless abilities, it was more worse when i was with other pegasi, especially my family, they kept on asking why, why were they stuck with me when my younger sister had so much more potential. i shook my head and continued on, no need to dwell on the past i suppose, though it still bothers me like hell. But with my friends by my side silently cheering me on i will move on and change history itself!
