//------------------------------// // More Flight Training // Story: Spike's Ponyville Adventures // by Spikemaster105 //------------------------------// In Ponyville, everyone was off doing their own thing now as Spike was home getting flight training from his dad again. He jumped off the roof for like the 20th time flapping his little wings, but he still couldn't fly and landed with a soft thud on the awaiting matress. He got up sighing, "Ok that was good, let's take a lunch break before we start again", the Pegasus stallion told his son. "Why can't I fly, I've been trying and trying and trying but still nothing", he frowned looking down as the birds started comforting him. "Hey it's ok, your just a late bloomer when it comes to flying, some Pegasi ponies go through the same thing", Soarin told him. "It's not ok dad, a colt my age should have been flying long ago, heck Mr and Mrs Cakes son Pound can fly and he's only like what one years old", the Pegasus stallion just stared at him. "It's my dream to fly with you, aunt Spitfire and Fleetfoot one day as a Wonderbolt, I want it to come true..but It's like something won't let me...l-like theres something wrong with me", he felt tear's in his eyes but he quickly wriped them. Soarin hugged his son, "You will fly by my and your aunts side one day as a Wonderbolt, just stay positive", he told him, then let him go. "Let me tell you something, you were right about what you told your grandma about me thinking your mother was the most beautiful filly in the world when I first met her, and knowing she is now". That shocked him, "I was right about that". The stallion nodded frowning now, "I always wanted to confess to her and ask her on a date, but I felt like I couldn't because I wasn't good enough for her or she will never like me back". "But now after fifteen years I finally have her in my life", he smiled, but that got the colt thinking. "Hey dad, how old are you and mom?" "I'm Twenty-Five and the same for your mother, but her birthday is four months before mine", the Pegasus colt nodded in understanding. "What I'm trying to say is you shouldn't give up, cuz I didn't when I was doing a Wonderbolt try out seven years ago, plus I made a promise", that confused his son. "A promise to who?" He sighed, "Before I became your father, your real one came to me in a dream, he's almost looked like a taller older version of you, but your mane and coat color is swapped am I right", the colt nodded. "He told me to look after you and protect you, and to also be a father figure, and he also told me to make sure you follow your dream of becoming the greatest Wonderbolt of all time and the greatest stunt flyer". "And I'll be damned if I'm gonna let him down and the same for you", he hugged him again. The colt smiled and hugged him back, "You shouldn't give up, cuz I didn't and if I did, I probably wouldn't be a Wonderbolt and with the mare of my dreams". The Pegasus colt started thinking and realised his dad is right, he shouldn't give up and just keep trying like he did. "You're right, I shouldn't give up...I'm gonna fly and will be a Wonderbolt one day", they broke the hug. Then he smirked, "Not only that, but I will fly circles around you one day", the stallion smirked at that. "Only if you can keep up". "Oh yeah". "Yeah", then the colt pounced on his dad, they started rolling around while he was pulling his ear, he then let go as they started laughing on the floor. They got up and Spike hugged his father, "Thanks for never giving up on me, love you dad", he nuzzled him. The Pegasus stallion chuckled before hugging him back, "Love you too son, now let's continue your flight training", the Pegasus colt nodded, then his dad picked him up and placed him on the roof again. "Hey dad, when is aunt Spitfire and uncle Zephyr gonna have the wedding?" "Next week, they already told me and and the rest of the family", the colt nodded again, then he jumped off and started flapping his wings, he hovered a little bit before falling and landing on the matress. With Rarity in her Boutique, she finished making brides maids dresses for herself, Rainbow, Fluttershy, Twilight, Pinkie and Applejack. "There all done, looks like all the dresses and tuxes are finished", she said to herself taking her red glasses off with her magic and put them away. With the engaged couple, the pregnant Pegasus mare was laying on her back getting a check up for her baby, Zephyr was next to her watching the monitor seeing his unborn daughter move around. "She's perfectly healthy, nothing wrong with her at all..she's a Pegasus from those little wings I see", the nurse told them as the couple nodded in understanding. After the nurse left and they were now sitting down waiting for a doctor to show up, "I can't wait till she's born", her fiancee nodded. "Hey Spitfire, what are we gonna do about the Honeymoon once we are married?" "We'll put it on hold untill I give birth, then we can have the Honeymoon", she told him smiling before giving him a kiss as he nodded in understanding. Then she smirked with bedroom eye, "And then I can put you through two special tests", he grinned. "What kind of tests, cuz I'm so up for them", that caused her to giggle and nuzzle her body against his. "An endurance and speed test...think you can beat your own records Zeph", he nodded grinning still now with a winger. "You know I will". "I hope you do, cuz on our Honeymoon night, I want you to give it Two hundred percent and give me everything you got ok", he nodded. They kissed a few times, by then the doctor walked in and saw them, he cleared his throat and they stopped feeling embarrassed. "I hope I wasn't interrupting something", they shook their heads no apologizing. "Anyways everything seems ok with the baby, you are do for two more check ups, in two more weeks then the next two weeks after that", they couple nodded in understanding. Then they thanked the doctor before Zephyr helped his fiancee stand before walking out. Later when it was the afternoon, Spike stopped training for today and already ate lunch, now he was walking towards the comic book store with a saddle bag on his back and a pair of sunglasses. Soon he walked in the place and headed towards the section where he saw the Power Ponies comics not knowing that one was enchanted, they were four bits each. He grabbed the first four issues and walked to the counter looking around, the clerk was confused as to what he's doing. "I like to purchase these", he placed the four comics on the counter. The stallion looked at them and chuckled, "You know it's nothing to be ashamed about, these comics are actually a good read", he told the colt. "Hey, if my friends or worse my girlfriend find out about me liking these girly comics, they'll laugh at me", he glared behind the glasses. The stallion sighed, "Whatever you say, that'll be Twelve bits", Spike then took a small bag of bits out if his saddle bag and placed it on the counter. The clerk opened it up and empted it counting the bits, then nodded signaling he's good and gave him back the bag, the colt put the comics in his saddle bag along with the empty bit bag. "I was never here buying these comics ok", the stallion rolled his eyes and nodded, the colt walked out as the stallion sighed knowing this wasn't the first colt to try to secretly buy a Power Ponies comic. Later when it was dark, Spike was home in his room since he ate diner already, he opened his drawer and took the comic books out, he was gonna read them before going to bed so he opened the first issue and started reading with a smile. An hour later he was done with them, but became confused when he saw little scribbles on the bottom right corner of the comic book, he looked closer and narrowed his eyes but couldn't read it. "I can't read it, oh well I'll figure it out another day", he said to himself. Then he put his comic books away back in the drawer, he grinned at a thought, he lifted his mattress and took out his Playpony magazine and got back in bed. He opened it up and started looking at it head deep in it, but stopped and started thinking. Then shrugged, "Meh what are the odds of my mom walking in and seeing me looking at this", he continued to look at it with a grin.
