Chapter 5.
Not even skipping a beat she replied “ Well I’ll teach you! Who else would be better to teach you than The Best Flier In Equestria!”
I looked up “You would do that for me? I mean I could never impose like that. I don’t even have any money to pay you.” At this Rainbow and al her friends started to giggle.
Okay, It was official I was confused. “Whats so funny!” I said a little angry.
“We’re your friends! Id be happy to just do it, you don’t need to pay me!” She said smiling.
I blinked. “You still want to be my friends? Even after you found out what I used to be, or after seeing me cry like a little filly.” I looked down after I said that last part.
Rainbow walked over and put her hoof under my chin causing me to look up. “Hey everyone’s different, but it doesn’t matter where you come from. And this whole situation is something worth getting upset over.”
“Thanks Rainbow Dash, I really appreciate it.” I said smiling.
“Don’t mention it” She laughed. “Oh and call me Dashie, all my friends do” She said smiling and turning for the door.
I stood, following her. “Okay Rainb.. Erm Dashie. Lets go”
Twilight called out as we left “ Don’t be out past sunset that’s when the Princess will be here!”
We walked out to the edge of Ponyville, into a big empty field.
“Okay, first things first. Lets see you open your wings.” She said looking at me expectantly. I closed my eyes and tried to move them. It was odd, but then I got an idea. I started thinking of them as my arms, instead of my front hoofs. To my amazement I found I had control over them. The unfurled for the first time and I fully extended them and beamed at Dashie.
“This is so cool!” I said with a big smile. All my previous worries forgotten for the time being.
“Well, well! Quick learner!” She said. I blushed bright red at her praise “Go ahead and give ‘um a few slow flaps to get used to it.” I focused and extended them fully again, it being relatively easy this time. After a few awkward half flaps I started to get the hang of it. I flapped three times nice and slow, getting used to it.
“There ya go! Now you’re getting the hang of it! Now I want you to start flapping again, but don’t stop, and slowly increase how hard you flap.” I nodded and started flapping. I started off slowly, but slowly I increased my pace. Faster and faster. Harder and harder. I slowly began the weight on my hooves began to lessen. Determined, I kept going. I lifted off the ground, and I don’t think I have ever been so happy in all my life. It just felt right. I was actually flying! Okay I wasn’t really flying I was hovering, but still! I apparently wore my happiness on my face, because she giggled at me.
“Alright, next up I’m going to teach you how to actually fly.” I slowed my flapping and dropped to the grass, practically giddy. She then proceeded to explain the in’s and outs’s of flying, and by the end of the day I more or less had the hang of it. We were flying back to Ponville’s library lazily and she turned to me and said “ You know Silver I’ve never seen somebody pick it up so fast! RACE YA!!” She yelled and took off ahead of me. I was so game.
Dashie beat me. Badly. Luckily she didn’t rub my face in the fact that she beat me by about 10 seconds. We chatted about her Days in Junior Speedster Flight school on the way up to twilights library. We walked up to the door and she knocked on the door. This time a bright yellow pegasus with a pink mane answered the door.
“Hi Fluttershy!” She said trotting past her. I said hi to Fluttershy trotting past her as well.
