Dreaming in the Sky

Fluttershy

"Twi? Are you ready?" My voice trembled sightly.

I had woken up in the morning, sweat under my mane and on my soft, feathered pillow. Angel was still deep in slumber, curled up on her small bed beside mine. I wanted to forget but instantly I was reminded of the dreams that had penetrated my mind that night. All I could see was Twilight, my love, my heart, plummeting down fast through the clouds. If I was Dash I would be able to scoop her right up... but flying has never been important to me. Somehow, on this day, it became so for her. I shook out my mane. Cool air instantly shook out some of my worries. Angel stirred slightly; I needed to be more quiet when I looked back on my dreams. Standing up and stretching, my mind wandered to innocent excuses I can use on Twi. "Oh, honey, I'm so sorry, but I have a *cough* slight cold.." "Twi? I'm sorry, but today I have to help Angel with some..." No. None of it would work. At least, not a blatant lie. I knew I could never. I turned to look out my window, which just happened to be unopened. Lifting it up immediately a gust of wind rattled the frame and nearly blew me over. My eyes squeezed tight and my feet slightly off the ground - it almost felt as if I was flying. All I needed was someone to hold in my arms. The gust died down and, nervously, I opened my eyes back up. Looking at the enormous morning sky I began to think.

"Oh, Twi." I sighed softly.

Lying has never been my game. Not mentally. But physically?

"It's just a game I haven't played yet..."
