Chapter 10 – One Month Later


   “I'm going to play in the field, mom!” Air Heart said.

“OK, honey,” the white Pegasus pony said as she sat on the bench. “Be safe!”

Air Heart then flew past the playground equipment towards the field. She wasn’t the best flyer just yet, but at least she was able to soar and glide a little now that she learned some things from Flight School .

She landed in the middle of the field and looked up at the clear blue sky as if waiting for something - or more importantly, somepony. Suddenly the pink pony saw a Pegasus circling above before descending. The Pegasus came to a hard stop, kicking up some grass and dirt which flew in the breeze.

“Hi, Swift!” Air Heart said to the pony that just landed.

“Hi, Air!” Swift said, “Are you ready to have fun flying today?”

“I sure am!!!” Air Heart said squealing with delight.

“Great! I think I’ll teach you how play sky tag today.”

“Sky tag?” Air said with a confused look. “How do you play that?”

“Like this...” Swift said as she walked over to the pink pony and tapped her on the shoulder, “Tag! You’re it! Bet you can’t catch me!”

With that Swift took off back into the sky and then stopped and looked at the pony on the ground with a smile.

“Oh, I’m so going to catch you!” Air said as she took off into the air.

The two pegasus pony friends darted and dodged in the sky. From the ground they looked like two colored dots dancing in the sky. Occasionally one could hear them shout, “Tag! You’re it!”

Air Heart’s mom smiled as watched the two. She reminisced at how what seemed like a long time ago was really only a few months, and how these two met, and how after that their lives had changed forever. Then she realized that this is how life should be, filled with laughter and friends and love. Air Heart’s mother hoped that she would retain her childhood innocence throughout the rest of her life. Perhaps then the world, be it for humans or ponies, would be better if seen through the eyes of a child.
