I fly for the first time, and get a...cutie mark?

Kevin gets up, and walks out  in front of us. He sighs, then his body begins to glow green. It glows so bright I can't even see anymore. After a few seconds of being blinded, the light goes away, and where Kevin was standing is the very same unicorn from my dream. Shocked expressions make their way onto my parents faces. Mom gags at the sight. "Would you care to tell them what you told me?" I ask Kevin, or, my...real...father. "I don't know how I got here from my planet, but soon after, I fell in love with her mother, and I knew this was going to happen at some point in her life." He begins. My parents stare in amazement, and confusion at Kevin. "Sadly she had asked me if she is ever going to change back, and I told her no. She won't. After I found out I had gotten Joy pregnant I told her we couldn't see each other anymore, and not to tell anybody about me. I was human at the time. This is my first time being in my regular shape on this planet." He continues.

  "I had realized a few years after I left Joy that I would try to be a part of Marie's life. So here I am now trying to make up for that time and be here with my first daughter." He says nervously. "You aren't planning on taking her are you?" John asks Kevin. "No, I just wish to see her on a regular basis. So much anger is boiling up right now cause everything is true that he told me. "You guys talk I-I need to go outside and cool down." I say as calmly as possible. "Why do you need to cool down?" John asks me. "Well maybe it has to do something with the fact you guys have been lying to me, my whole life about John being my actual father!" I snap then go out into the backyard. I take off my sweater, and drop it on the ground, then I sit in the chair. I see my wallet sticking out a bit out of the left pocket. I reach down and take it out, and I look at my school ID. There's my name, age, address, school, phone number, ID number, and a picture of me when I wasn't...a pony.

  I tear up a bit because I was actually pretty. most girls say they are ugly, but I know I...WAS. pretty. I can't help it, so I cry a bit. My life has turned upside down, my real father is a unicorn, and now I'm staring at a picture of what I used to look like. I get up, and walk out to the middle of the yard. Then the idea of flying pops up in my head. I do have wings, so why not try it? I'd be the first hu-never mind. I'm not human anymore. I take off my shirt that has a few blood stains on it, and I extend out my wings as far as they can go. My messed up wing doesn't seem to hurt anymore thank goodness. I move my wings in all sorts of ways in an attempt to find out how they work. For the heck of it I try doing a few experimental flaps, and to my surprise I lift off the ground! I land back down on my feet, or hooves I suppose. I try again, and this ime I keep my self in the air. I try to angle myself in different ways to figure out how to turn, to go up/down. You know.

  I keep flapping, and I angle myself to go up, and now I'm three feet off the ground!! I'm actually floating!! I lean forward to so straight and it works!! I tilt to the left while still leaning forward, and it makes me turn left. Then I tilt the opposite way making me go right. I'm still a few feet above the ground only, so I decide to go higher. Now I'm about four stories high, and still floating. By now it feels as if my wings started working in their own. I'm really frickin flying!! I fly straight, and I go over my house, then I curve back around to my right. Then I go even higher. I fly past my back yard, and I keep going for a little bit. Now I can feel the wind blowing through my hair. I turn back around going really fast, like about 50 mph. It felt like nothing to go that fast. I was just flapping. For a while I go back and forth going faster each time. Now this time I'm going so fast, the wind stings my eyes, and all of a sudden, all the sound goes away, then BOOM!!

  Instantly I slow to a halt, and I search the ground for an explosion, when I notice a colorful ring in the sky. It has all the colors of the rainbow. I look down, and find I'm directly above my house, then, I get pushed by the shockwave. "Okay that's enough flying for today." I tell myself. I begin to descend when I see Betty out in the backyard staring at he colorful ring in amazement. I land next to her, and I fold in my wings. "You-you did it." She mumbles. "YOU MADE A SONIC RAINBOOM!!" She cries out. "Well what's that?" I ask. "You broke the sound barrier!" She squeals. "And I got it on camera too!" She says showing me a small camcorder in her hands. Wait. did she say I broke the sound barrier? Isn't the speed of sound like over 600 mph? I was going that fast?! Wow. Not only did I fly, I broke the fricken sound barrier! I go and get my shirt and I put it back on along with my sweater.

  "Let me see that." I say grabbing the camcorder from my little sister. I load the video and press play, and I see myself flying through the air, when the loud boom comes again and the ring of colors is made. I run back inside to show mom. Then my side begins to hurt like a burning feeling right at my hip. I look under my shirt to see the same ring of colors print itself on my side. "What's wrong Marie?" Betty asks. "Well now I have one on my side here like wtf?" She looks at it and gasps. "You got your cutie mark!!" She squeals. I give her a puzzled look. "It means ur best at making sonic rainbooms!!" "Huh?" I just flew for the first time okay how is that possible?" "Exactly! you did it on ur first time." Oh I get it now. I walk out to the living room, to see John, Mom, and Kevin still a unicorn sitting in the couch. "So how'd it go?" John asks. I wave the camcorder in the air. I sit next to da- John, and I show him the video Betty took of me. He stares in astonishment. "So that's what that large boom was." He says. Even though this whole thing sucks, I never thought I'd smile this much through it all.
