   "Now pack up your things and go!" My things get thrown down to the ground of Sesaddle as I stare up in disbelief. 
"You're not really kicking me down here because of a little injury, are you?" 
"You lost your wings, Flame Runner, there for you are an earth pony, not a Pegasus," Bellhop hovers away slowly. 
"I'm sorry." He says continuing on back to Cloudsdale castle. 
"No, I'm sorry for YOU! You have to stick around those show-offs." I gallop away faster than you can say excuse. At least he didn't comment back in time. Now as if you didn't know already, I'm Flame Runner. One of the fastest flyers in Cloudsdale! Well, was... but, I guess I can learn a lot about being an earth pony, like how to garden... OH WHO AM I KIDDING! I wish I had never landed on that jagged rock and dislocated my wing so bad I had to get rid of it! Oh, of course the doctor thought it was logical to get rid of the other wing too, just for evenness. He didn't realize he ruined the awesome life of me, one of the best flyers in Equestria! I was training to be a Wonder bolt for Celestia's sake! Now that will never, ever EVER happen, at least not to me. I have a little sister, Fire Ring, who is a pretty good flyer too, not as good as me of course, but not far off. She even won this contest to spend a day with the Wonder bolts. I guess it was pretty cool... for her at least. The best day I've actually had in Cloudsdale was- 
"Oof!" I tripped over someone... no wait, someTHING. 
"What the heck is this?" I pick up the piece of cardboard paper material thing and read what's on it. 
"Equestria's Finest Academy, where all the ponies go to fulfill their dreams," 
I mumble out loud. I almost drop it to the floor again for some other wondering mare to trip on. Almost. I look through my bag, and find 25 bits. I walk about a mile to the nearest train station. I would be saving my bits by flying, but I'm not going to think about that. I got a ticket to Manehatten and there, I looked above to the sky and waved goodbye to the only life I ever knew.
