The Pony Prophecy

Flight Practice with a Wonder Bolt

"No not like that! Pay attention and stop playing with that butterfly! Ughhhhh!" Soarin' looked at his new pupil and was very disappointed.

"Daddy I don't want to do this any more! Can we please do something else?" complained Sunshine.

"No we can't do something else! I told you that ten minutes ago. Now keep practicing! I'm not going to tell you again," retorted the annoyed father.

"Fine! You're so mean!" Sunshine stomped off to other side of the field and flapped her wings. "Ow!!"

"Sunshine are you okay? Get up Sunny! Sunshine?" yelled her father. He swiftly ran over to his crying daughter.

"Daddy my wing hurts. Can we take a break now?" pleaded the young filly.

"No we can't take a break because I think you broke your wing,"

"WHAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" shrieked  Sunshine. "But Dad if my wing is broken then I can't fight the darkness,"

"Who told you about the darkness? I bet it was no good rotten uncle. He has never known his place," said Soarin'.

"I over heard Mommy and Aunt Cadence discussing how Starlight's progress and thinking that it was time Uncle Shining showed her some battle moves to fight it. They also spoke about how I wasn't progressing that much and not getting any better..." whispered the disappointed filly.

"Oh Sunny, you are the daughter of a past Wonder Bolt! Flying is in your blood. You know when I was your age I couldn't even get off of the ground with out crashing," a slight chuckle escaped from his throat. "Flying comes with practice its only your fifth day,"

"But magic comes so easy to Star! Its not fair! I want to progress too. I have been trying my hardest really, but I still cant even get of the ground for more than a minute!" As Starlight continued to wallow in self pity her father was thinking of ways to comfort her.
