//------------------------------// // Chapter 4 // Story: Finding My Family // by AlexisWolf2001 //------------------------------// Chapter 4 I took a break from my hard flying and sat on a soft cloud and looked at the view of Ponyville. Then in the sheer silence, I heard the small clap of hooves that told me that I was being watched from the moment I took off. I stopped my breathing to see if it was just my imagination and heard nothing. I took a sigh of relief but it was interrupted when a rainbow mare holding an orange filly on her back, snuck up behind me and scared the fur off me. I sprang off my cloud in terror and fell only to catch myself by flying. Worst mistake of my life. The little filly stopped clapping and stared at my wings. The rainbow mare only known as Rainbow Dash, also took a look at my wings. I flew down immediately and tried to hide but Rainbow Dash was clearly a lot faster than me. She stood in front of me and I came down to a stop. I started to breath hard and I sat down and started to cry. Rainbow Dash looked at me and put a hoof on my shoulder. I heard little hooves run towards us and I looked up to see Scootaloo. She still a had a face of question. I tried to stop my tears and recover but it wasn't easy. “Ok, I don't know what you have on your wings, and I would like to know, so please explain.” Rainbow Dash told me. I took a deep breath. Then I heard other hooves run towards us. Rarity,Ms.Song,Sweetie Belle,Applebloom,the twins, Mel,and Blosson came up to us. They asked us why I was crying and why Rainbow Dash and Scootaloo had questionable faces. Rainbow Dash told them everything that happened. And for visual support, I showed my wings. Everyone but Ms. Song, Mel and Blossom were shocked. I decided that it was time to confess. I took deep breath and explained. “I had a wing disease when I was little, I couldn't fly foot off the ground.And I had no cutiemark. I was bullied because I could't fly. So I decided to get these supporters placed in my wings.” I showed the supporters. “ I...I...I had no family to go to. My mom and Dad were both killed in a weather accident, and I lost my little sister. I looked all over Equestria looking for her but I couldn't find her. I don't remember what she looks like but I do remember that she to had a bit of the wing disease that I had. But that's all I remember of her.” Tears started to well up in my eyes. “I lived in an alley in Manehatten for most of my life. And I only had a torn picture of my family that shows my dad and I and a blanket.” I pulled out the photo. “I sometimes lived in the clubhouse that Mel, Blossom,and I had. So that's why I was amazed by the bed that I slept in at your boutique Rarity. But I've been able to live through all my pain.” Everyone but Mel,Ms.Song, and Blossom had sad but astonished faces. They all gave me a big hug,and when they let go,we all realized that Scootaloo was still hugging me, but she was crying.
