White Hawk's Fate

Interlude: Harmony Celebration

"Hello everypony!" Celestia's voice was magnified by her magic over the masses of ponies. "And welcome, to the annual harmony celebration! Today it will be three years since any major conflict has occurred!" There was an approving roar that could be heard from me and Fluttershy's spot in a VIP viewing area. We were bedsides Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, and of course Princess Twilight Sparkle.

"Gavin, Rainbow Dash, your going to have to go out there soon." Fluttershy said besides me. Me and Rainbow Dash were going to be flying with two ponies from a group known as the Wonderbolts, Rainbow Dash absolutely loves them. We will start out on a platform that's above Princess Celestia. There is a small part that juts out of the platform, there I would change into my spirit of nature. The white hawk. When I finish changing we'll do our routine and wow the crowd. I've been practicing with Rainbow Dash for the past couple of weeks.

"We will start the opening event, including Soarin and Spitfire of the Wonderbolts, element of loyalty Rainbow Dash, and the white hawk nature spirit Gavin shortly!" Luna's voice was the one to boom out this time.

"Good luck honey." Fluttershy hugged and kissed me before I left the VIP area to head for the platform. One I got there i was greeted by a Stallion by the name of Soarin.

"Sup bro! I heard you can break the sound barrier like Rainbow Dash! Well of course you can, or else you wouldn't have that oh so important part in the act!" Of course it was true, months of practicing to be able to control my hawk form I finally started working on my speed. Of course I was racing with Rainbow Dash when i first broke the barrier, I released a ring of pure white light. I simply nodded in reply to Soarin before I took my place on the platform. I spread my arms out wide. I bright spotlight hit each of the ponies besides and behind me. Only a faint one hit me as to not interfere too much with the light I emit when I change.

I heard the sharp whistle I had been waiting for. I started to change, the usual feeling of extreme calm enveloped me as I did. The audience ooohhhd and aaawwwd at the brilliant light surrounding me. as soon as the light surrounding me faded I unfolded my wings and took off flying low just above the head of the crowd. Rainbow Dash was behind me, Soarin and Spitfire were to my right and left. They all left behind there trails, Soarin and Spitfire left behind dust and lightning, Rainbow Dash left behind her signature rainbow trail. I of course didn't leave behind a trail, but I was going to make up for that in a moment.

All four of us turned up, Soaring and Spitfire were doing corkscrews as they went up. me and Rainbow Dash were going straight up and just paying attention to increasing our speed, when we were about quarter of a mile up the familiar cones formed around me and Rainbow Dash. I looked down at Rainbow Dash and she gave me a confident smile before we both put on a final burst of speed to break the barrier.

My ring of light and her ring of rainbows spread out around us, Rainbow Dash flew to the right as I flew to the left the other two flew straight back down. After a good couple hundred feet me and Rainbow Dash started flying along our rings to disperse them. When we passed by each other we high fived. (Or in my case I slapped my wing against her hoof being very careful not to disturb my flight.) This sent an uproar through the crowd. By the time we completely dispersed the rings the other two were flying just above the crowd doing random loopdy loops waiting for us to get into position for the next part of the routine. Which sadly I wasn't a major part of. The other three were going to use their trails to make Celestia's, Luna's, and Twilight's cutie marks. I would just be flying around them looking cool.

We did a few more things that weren't worth really mentioning. (Not because I wasn't apart of them. I was. I just found they were boring.) The last thing we did was that the other three were circling around me. The spotlights were circling around me too. The three others were waiting to catch me as I changed back into my human form. When I change I suck in all the light around me, so the direction of the light from the spot lights would change to floor into the dark sphere that surrounds me as I change. Everything went according to plan thankfully. Even though the others couldn't see me the turning of the lights indicated to where I was.

When I could see again I was back in my place on the platform. Everypony was cheering and clapping. The others behind me were bowing, so I suppose I should too. As I bowed I looked into the VIP area hoping to see Fluttershy's face beaming pride. She wasn't there, I got confused and stopped my bowing to look for her. I should have known. I thought when I saw the yellow blur speeding towards me. I braced for the impact, as Fluttershy crashed into me I couldn't help but smile and return the embrace that enveloped me.

Awhile later we were on a hill far from the noise of the palace holding the events. We lay on a blanket waiting for the fireworks to begin. I was absent mindlessly rubbing Fluttershy's belly. The others went to get drinks and said they'll be back when the fireworks begin. Which was in about half an hour.

"You know why I'm so glad that the are going to be gone awhile?" I hmm'd at her. "I bought three dates." She pulled out three date fruits from a nearby basket. I smiled when I knew what she was hinting at. This is going to be a great night.

for those of you who like this story and the relationship between Gavin and Fluttershy, yes I just had to tease you with Fluttershy and Gavin having sex in a chapter that does not even matter to the story! Love you guys/gals! Again happy fourth of July! Goodbye!!!!
