Soarin's Life

Graduation Day

Another vision appeared to view, it appeared to be the same colt, just older, and he appeared to be rushing his mother.

  "Come on mommy! We are going to be late! My last day in flight school is today and I am going to be laate! I am the youngest in my class graduating!" Soarin yelled excitedly to his mother. The mother looked over at her impatient colt and spoke up.

"Soarin, calm down dear. I am going as fast as I can. Of course I want to see my little colt graduate from Junior Flight School but I don't want to do it looking like a mess!" She says putting emphasis on her frizzled mane. "Now go play or something while I get ready." She says shooing him away. Soarin scampered outside and past his dad, who waved as he passed by. While his mom finished up, his quest to protect the house from evil foe's had begun.

   As the colt's imagination kicked in he unsheathed his mighty cloud sword. Evil Knights turned every corner, rushing him with a surprise attack, but Soarin was prepared. As the first came he easily swung his sword as it sliced, thy unworthy foe evaporated into the sun, beaming down onto the front if his castle. Vanquishing him to back whence he came. He swung again, sword drawn in his hoof and hit yet another, just in time to see him evaporate.

   Soarin fended as more came, soon they started to thin out, and Soarin rushed in. He sliced one in the side as he ran, bringing his sword back up he sliced through another, and another, and more as he ran by. Soarin felt like he was invincible. The last FoE coward in fear wide-eyed and as he whinnied, the foe charged, only to have the mighty cloud sword plunged into his chest, making him evaporate into the sun along with the others. With all of Soarin's foe's vanquished for the day he scampered back to the house, ready to step inside.

   He heard his mom and dad talking very loudly, yelling actually, curiosity overtook Soarin as he put his ear to the wall, listening in on what was to be heard.

   "I told you already! I can't go! I have work and if I miss this meeting I am sure to be fired! You know this! We have been over this, I want to be there, I really do, he is our colt for crying out loud!"

   "He is our colt and you won't tell your boss to buck off so you can see his own graduation! Are you kidding me!? All you think about is work, never about family first! Ever since he was a foal it has been like this! You think your doing good by bringing him money and stuff but if you aren't even spending time with us you might as well not even be part of this family!"

   "How dare you! I provide everything for you two! I want to help and be part as much as I possibly can but you are making it impossible! This is your fault you know! 'Oh pick the big job, sure you will have to spend more time working but we will be better financially, think of the baby.' Now look where we are!"

   "I can not believe this, you are blaming this on me when you can just as easily go out and get another different damn job!?"

   "Finding a job is not that simple! But it's not like you would know!"

   "Why I never, you know what? Fine. Go to your damn job, since it is more important."

   "Fine! I will."

   Soarin's father came storming out the door, not looking back and flying off for work. Soarin, a little worried. He trotted up to his mother and spoke up.

   "Daddy isn't coming?" Soarin asked sadly.

   "No Soar, he isn't, come on let's go." She said, sighing.

   "Ok..." Soarin said quietly.

   Soarin and his mother quietly flew to the Junior Flight School Academy arriving a little late. They walked in and took their seats.

   "Next up to the stage is, Spitfire!" Said the announcer as a filly, a bit bigger, then Soarin, trotted up to the stage and took the diploma excitedly. She exited through the other side as everypony clacked their hooves for her and cheered. Soarin waiting patiently as other names were called. "Next up to the stage is, Star Blitz!" The announcer says, repeating the phrase just changing the name. A colt trotted up and took his diploma shyly, walking off and ponies cheered for him. "Next up to the stage, is Fleetfoot!" The announcer again repeated, as a Filly trotted up on stage with confidence, taking the diploma and trotting off as people cheered for her.

   After another couple ponies were called up, Soarin sat with anticipation. "And finally! The last Junior Flight Academy graduate, and youngest in the academy! Soarin!" Soarin excitedly got from his seat as his mom encouraged him on. He got from his seat and trotted up to the Stallion holding his diploma. Soarin eagerly took it and trotted off the stage, to his mom with pride. He felt so alive as everypony cheered for him. He trotted up to his mom happily as she hugged him.

"My little Soarin, a Junior Flight School graduate!" She said excitedly. "Come on Soarin, it is time to get some ice cream!"

"Ice cream!? Yay!" Soarin cheered. This was the best day of his life. He wished it could last forever. But soon, it started to fade, and their was another flash, certain to take him to yet another memory.
