Penguin
Flightless
Load Full StoryNext ChapterThe small town of Ponyville has always something special to do. Sometimes it's even more special when have somepony to do it with you. In a house on the top of the hill, there lived a Pegasus pony. She had a sky blue coat, red mane and tail, red eyes, two drama masks and a curtain as a cutie mark, and on her back, two of the biggest wings you ever saw.
This Pegasus, however has a problem. She never learned to how fly. She had always been afraid of heights when she was a filly. All her life, she had been made fun of by her inability to fly. She had been called names like, Chicken, or Ostrich, and worst of all, Penguin. She had spent most of her fillyhood alone. Her only friends were the animals, her toys, and her imaginary friends.
She loved watching the birds and butterflies fly. There they go she thought. She ever wondered that if there was somepony out there who understands what she has to go through. She hated being made a ridicule of ponies. Earth, unicorn, and Pegasus. All laugh at her and call her names like Chicken, or Ostrich, or Penguin.
Sometimes they tease her with a song.

She wishes she could run away. Little did she know that somepony was watching her. A small Pegasus with an orange coat, purple mane and tail, and a red pink and purple shield with a lighting bolt within a wing as a cutie mark. Also six mares, a grey Pegasus, two wolves, a hipogriff, a small alicorn with rainbow streaks, and two dragons. One was a small purple dragon with green spikes and green eyes. The other was a tall green dragon with brown hair and clothes.
The two wolves are a male with a purple vest with glasses and a female with pink hues a yellow shirt a brown cowboy hat poppy hair and a pink apron. The six ponies, two Pegasi, two Earth ponies, one unicorn, and one alicorn, all help spread the magic of friendship. Their map at the castle strangely called them on a mission in their own town.
The small Pegasus explained the situation. The others who noticed about the blue Pegasus, including the wall-eyed Pegasus agreed to help them. The blue Pegasus never told anypony why she never learned how to fly. She gave up talking long ago. She figured if she didn't talk nopony will know what bothers her.
Out on a walk in town, she didn't notice four Pegasi carrying two buckets flying behind her. The first two dumped the first bucket, covering her with tar. The other two dumped the second bucket, covering her with chicken feathers. The crowd of ponies stared at her.
"Chicken chicken chicken."
She felt tears in her eyes and ran away crying.
The dragons and the others were furious.
The big dragon and white alicorn came to the crowd. The ponies ran in fear, as the white alicorn glowed her horn, and shouted, "TASTE THE RAINBOW!"
In an instant the crowd had rainbow paint all over their faces. The crowd got even more scared when the dragon blew smoke at those Pegasus ponies who tarred and feathered the Pegasus.
"Come on everypony", the purple alicorn said. "Let's go find her."
The gang spread out. The two alicorns, three Pegasi, and hipogriff searched in the sky while the others were searching on the ground. They searched all over town, in the forest, and just about anywhere. But they didn't find the blue Pegasus.
They were starting to worry.
As the pink Earth pony turned a corner at the meadow, she heard a faint sound of sobbing. She listened to locate the sound. As she stopped, she saw a black and feathered blob crying.
She was overjoyed. "There she is!" She bounced up and down to the search party saying, "I found her I found her I found her I found her."
They all came to her.
She felt scared.
They're going to laugh at me I just know it.
The green dragon said, "Hey."
The blue Pegasus instantly hid behind a rock.
The female wolf whispered something in the male wolf's ear.
"Oh my", he said. "She's scared?"
The rainbow maned Pegasus got a cloud and poured rain all over the tar and feathers. She also gave the Pegasus a spin with her rainbow streak to dry her off.
The white unicorn styled the red mane and tail back into place and also gave her three green bracelets and a green short hat.
"We're so glad we found you . I'm Twilight. And this is Fluttershy, Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, Teric Dragon, Lighting Bliss, Dr. Wolf, Mrs. Wolf, Silver Quill, Scootaloo, Spike, and Derpy."
"So..." Spike said. "You don't talk do you?"
"Please allow me Spike", said Dr. Wolf. "Do you have a name miss?"
"Thespia", she said.
"Anything on your mind Ms. Thespia?"
She hid herself behind her wings.
"Hey, don't be scared", Teric said. "We know what it's like not being able to fly."
"We?"
Thespia looked at Teric, Spike and Scootaloo. She saw that Teric and Spike had no wings while Scootaloo only hovered an inch off the ground.
"But I thought I was the only one."
Thespia explained about her fear of heights. She also told them how she got her cutie mark when she was 15 years old. Her very first play was when she was in a small theater.
She felt much better knowing that she had real friends. Even Derpy told her about how her eyes make her not the best flyer.
Thespia was very happy.
