I lie on the bed, which Princess Celestia had given me for the duration of my training with Luna, staring up at the ceiling. My sword was in a box under my bed. Before I came back to my room to rest I had decided that I'd ask celestia for a fireproof scabbard and a box to hold my sword. Tim is sleeping in his miniature box sized bed that I asked Princess Celestia to put in the room. I'm just bored as hell right now so I've been pondering if I should go and practice my flying because I'm still trying to make my speed faster while moving in the air. I make up my mind as I quietly get up as to not wake up Tim, before I leave I decide to tuck Tim in and I smile at how adorable he looked all snuggled up in his blanket. I leave the room, quietly closing the door behind me. I decided that I'd practice my flying in the courtyard. A few minutes later I'm in the courtyard, stretching just because. I concentrate as my red and white aura surrounds me, remembering the first thing Luna taught me when I was first getting ready to fly.
A Few Days Ago
"Imagine as if you are as light as a feather blowing in the wind" Luna said as I was bursting with excitement. "It might not be easy at first but keep practicing and I think you'll get the hang of it," she told me as I started hovering above the ground a few feet, her looking at me in surprise, then she facehoofed as I tried moving forward and ended up slamming face first onto the ground breaking my concentration. "At least you've actually gotten of the ground, now we just need to work on your movement in mid-air" she said as she levitated me back onto my feet. I kept practicing with Luna until lunch, which after she had it she'd be going to bed. In that time I'd sorta gotten the hang of it, but not completely. I could hover above the ground , then when I try to move I get all of 10 feet before I fall to the ground.
After Luna had gone to bed I decided to keep practicing until I could at least actually fly instead of hovering and only moving a few feet. After hours of no progress though, I'm sitting on the ground thinking of a solution. "Luna mentioned something about feather...and wings are made out of feathers, and a pegasus uses wings to move around in the air, so...maybe I just need to imagine myself having wings?" I asked noone as I stood up. After getting up into the air I imagined that I had a pair of awesome pair of pink wings on my back, flapping them as if I had them physically. I feel myself move forward a few feet after doing that. Smiling in victory I keep flapping my imaginary wings like I've seen Rainbow do a hundred times. I do a few flips and spins in the air yelling as I'm doing it.
End of Flashback
I smile as I remember the first time I learned how to really fly. Then I wondered how I would be able to make myself go faster, I heard about how Rainbow did something called a Sonic Rainboom once where she broke the speed of sound. If I ever want to be even close to as fast as her though I'm going to need to practice, practice, and practice, so I might as well start right now.
Rising into the air, I fly to the top of the highest tower, deciding that it would be easier to get more speed from up higher. As I reach my destination, I grip the roof with one of my hands and plant one foot down firmly. As I look around in amazement I spot a small village, with a giant castle, actually peaceful for once. I don't understand why Ponyville is a beacon for trouble, it's probably because the elements, and now The Princess of Friendship lives there. I chuckle as I remember the first time I came to Ponyville, the first Pony I met was Twilight, which is kinda funny that the first pony I met was one of the very few Princesses in Equestria. Of course, the first thing I did was point at Twilight and scream "HOLY SHIT, A TALKING PURPLE HORSE". Worst first impression ever amiright. Well after she somehow got me to calm down and tell her everything, she decided that I should meet her friends. Oh yeah, and after meeting all her friends, except one, I got the absolute shit scared out of me when we walked back in the Library, all the lights off, then "SURPRISE!" and of course I grabbed the first thing I say to use as a weapon, a chair. I almost ended up nailing a mint-green unicorn in the face with it. After apologizing profusely she just waved it off and repeatedly asked if she could touch my hands, finally after repeatedly saying no and her repeatedly asking, I finally relented. Before she could actually do anything she got pulled away by a brown Earth pony mare, her getting dragged all the way by her tail. That was actually one of the best parties I had actualy ever been to.
I decided that I'd been hanging there long enough, letting go, I shot straight down with my arms against my side, tiltinng up a little I shoot straight through a tree, leaving a gravity defying hole in it. I keep going straight and shooting straight off the edge of the mountain, Unfortunately I never really thought about how I was going to stop, and of course with my luck I'm heading straight towards Ponyville. I shoot straight through 4 clouds some of the cloud pieces sticking to my face giving me a comical Santa Clause look. I shoot through another cloud, which was unfortunate for a certain rainbow haired pegasus that was sleeping on it. "SORRY DASH!" I yelled, as she spun around in the air before righting herself. Still not stopping, I dodge out of the way of a few ponies, who yelled in surprise, jumping out of the way, me keeping on saying sorry everytime. Unforrtunately I wasn't looking where I was going flying straight into the Everfree slamming into a tree and falling unconcious.
I wake up a few minutes later laying upside down against the tree that I hit. I notice that Celestia had just recently lowered the sun. Ok good news is I finally stopped...bad news is I'm right smack dab in the middle of the Everfree Forest and it's nighttime. Worse news is I can hear growling and see a couple pairs of yellow eyes glaring at me from the darkness of the trees.
"...Well isn't this a son of a bitch," I say as multiple timberwolves step into the clearing I was in. "I think the Universe just loves to make my life miserable sometimes," I say backing up into the tree with a defensive stance, channeling magic into my hands.
As I'm crouching there with a bunch of Timberwolves around me, one word comes to me, "Why me?".
