Twilight has always wanted to know what it was like to fly through the air, but sadly she was born a unicorn and not a pegasus. But what unicorns lack in wings they make up for in ingenuity. So Twilight decides to build a flying machine, but the rest of her friends aren't so enthusiastic about it.

Inspired by this quote "Now, somehow, in some new way, the sky seemed almost alien," by Lyndon B. Johnson. Though the quote pertains to space flight and not flight itself.
