My wings were short and stubby.They were pointless objects obligated to my body. I was a small filly a kind and modest one at that. Me and Fluttershy were great friends we'd hang around cloudsdale thinking of what thing's would be like if they were different, for example if I had better wing's wings that would make me loop the loop and make ponies woop. 

Fluttershy was a shy timid filly at this current time, thing's havn't changed much apart from her courage has developed ever so slightly. With thing's the way they were nothing seemed possible. My mother and father had massive elegent wings they fly about having fun at lighting speed yet I stayed sitting watching them go past. One day I questioned my father "Dad why can't I be like you?" he laughed at me and put his hoof in my mane  "Rainbow you know you're only young, one day you will sore to the sky and see the sun up close, you will be like me one day you'll see, you must be patient" I looked at him with a tilted expression I didn't believe what he said, I wasn't able to fly, yet all the other fillies that were my age could, I just didn't understand how I wasn't like them. 

I was bullied for not being able to fly they'd say "Rainbow Rainbow in the sky, don't you wish you could fly" I'd ignore it but it soon became hard to bear. I hated being singled out. I always liked being involved when it came to flying it was impossible, I had lessons at cloudsdale JR but teachers didn't see any point in trying over and over again I would just fall back on my hooves. When i returned home I would sit and stare up into the sky above me wondering  what I would do with my life if I didn't learn to fly.  

My mother saw me on one of these occasions, she knew how I felt so she sat beside me and wrapped me in her wing's "Rainbow my dear, I see your eyes are looking blue what's the matter?" I snuggled up beside her and wailed in her wings "I can't fly mum I can't do it" she nugged my nose and kissed my head and sighed. She knew how I felt and she told me a story a story that happened to her. "Rainbow, you know, when I was your age I couldn't fly." I looked up at her with a confused look dwelling in my eyes "Really? But your wings?" she smiled simply at me and carried on her past experience "Wing's grow with age darling, I couldn't fly I was terrible the reason I fly now is because of a dream I had since I was young, even though I didn't get the chance to complete my wish I continued my training and became who I am today"
I stared at her before I questioned her dream, In my head I was thinking my mother a beautiful elegent super-sonic fast flyer was like me...it was hard to believe I questioned her "You had a dream, what was it?" She got up and showed me a secret only her and father knew about the dream was abandoned when I was born. "This is the wonderbolt's I wanted to join them very young, even though the wonderbolts are soon to be replaced with their young it was still a dream I loved and remember, Me and your father didn't get the chance to train because you came along, I'm gald you did because now I have a bigger dream" she sat back down with the poster infront of us and cuddled up to me she continued "And that dream is to be the best mother anyone could have" She smiled and laughed. Her story intreged me I stood up quick and shouted "Then I shall persue a dream" I stared at mother and laughed I kissed her head and whispered "I will do you proud" she looked at me with her blistful yellow eyes and said "You better get to it then"

I still didn't have a dream; but I carried on training and little by little I began to progress. One day my father showed me tickets three tickets to see the wonderbolts this was my mothers dream to be one of them I didn't pass up on that opertuinity so I went along. The crowds were massive nearly 2000 gathered at the cloudsdale stadium. I watched in anticipation for the wonderbolts to whizz round. I recognized them all they were fleetfoot,soarin and spitfires fathers. This was an amazing discovery. All three were the best flyers in cloudsdale they were about a year older than me but they were amazing i'd watch them all the time they were so carefree. After watching the wonderbolts and realising their young were at cloudsdale JR I realised by the time I could fly they would be the new wonderbolts.....And there was my dream. I ran to my mother and father and said "I want to join the wonderbolts!" My parents smiled and put their hooves in my mane and said "Go get 'em Rainbow!" 

I was so proud I finaly discovered my dream. The dream I share with my parents....And that's when my Wings began.
