I woke up to the sight of teal hoofs holding a blanket over me, along with rays of sunshine, streaming through my window. As I’m getting up, I take time to look at myself in my mirror. I’m a seven year old earth pony, with a teal coat, and a mane and tail of blonde with purple highlights, along with purple eyes. I have unfortunately not obtained my cutie mark as of yet, but I am keeping high hopes.

Suddenly I hear my mother calling for me, stating that breakfast is ready. I’m soon trotting down the hallway towards the kitchen, able to smell pancakes and strawberry milkshake. As I walk into the kitchen, I spy my mother, an earth pony mare, with a purple and indigo mane, light blue coat, and a spanner as a cutie mark; her name is Quick Fix. I notice she is still cooking so I try to get her attention.

“Morning mom, that smells great!”.

After hearing my voice, Quick Fix turns around and gives me a quick hug, “Morning Hexan, sleep well?”. I nod quietly, then focus on the food.

“ Yeah mom, is the food almost ready?” Quick Fix nods to me and starts to dish breakfast.

“Yes dear, now, lets call your father, Bolt Buster, breakfast is ready!”. A male earth pony enters the kitchen from the hallway, possessing a coat of light green, a blonde and yellow mane, and a cracked bolt as a cutie mark.

“Morning dear, what’s for breakfast?” Bolt sits at the table, while I take a seat as he turns to greet me, “Morning son, ready for school soon?”. I starts eating, then reply.

“Yes dad, just need to eat, then I can meet Gene on the way.”

Gene, or Gene Caster as she was better known, was my best friend. She is a unicorn filly, two years older than me, with a mane of red and blue, along with a light red coat. She has a cutie mark of a glowing double helix. “Looking forward to walk with her, ain't you Hex?” Bolt questions teasingly.

“Now Bolt, leave him alone, you know he is only seven” Quick states as I groan.

“Nah I’m just messing with you son, I know you only see her as a friend” Bolt clears up as he begins to eat, Quick sitting and eating her share soon after.

After a couple of minutes, we had finished eating, so I packed my lunch and prepared to leave, “See you guys later!”. I start my walk to school as I hear goodbyes from my parents. We live in a, I guess medium sized town named “Trotters Glade”. It is a fairly populated town, of all three races, a small business district, and a park. About halfway to school, I see Gene up ahead, “Hey Gene, wait up!’ I gallop to catch up to her as she stops for me.

“Morning Hexan!” Gene exclaims as we share a hug. “Hey Hexan, you’ll never guess what I found!” Gene whispers to me.

“What is it?” I question back.

“Just wait and see, you’ll love it!” After stating that, she starts galloping to school, with me not far behind. Nothing really of interest happened at school, so it went quickly. After the end of day bell rang, I slipped on my saddle bags and waited for Gene at the door. As we are walking to the park she ask me a question I didn’t expect, “Remember when you told me you always feel like you were chained to the ground Hex?”. It took me a moment to remember but I nod.

As we reach our hidden spot in the park, she continues, “Well I may have found a spell to help with that!”, after saying this, she pulls out a spell book. I’m a bit apprehensive as I see the book.

“This won’t be like the gender swap spell again, will it?” I question with a little bit of fear. Gene giggles, which helps me to relax a little.

“No Hexan, its much better than that one!”. She starts to flip through until she finds the spell, “Okay Hexan, this is the one I want to try”. I look at the spell, I notice it has pictures of the three races of ponies, Earth, Pegasi, and Unicorn, which makes me curious.

“What is it meant to do?”. I ask, hoping it is what I think it is. Which she confirms a moment later.

“It is a spell to temporarily change a pony’s race.”. I hope around, feeling excited.

“Okay Gene, when can we start?”

“How about right now?”. She uses her magic to hold me still. “Alright Hexy, I’ll only take a moment to cast it alright?”. I nod to this and wait. As many who know her know, Gene Caster is very gifted in gene changing spells, making her have a very interesting spell pool. In fact, her changing my gender, temporarily thankfully, is what let her earn her cutie mark. As her horn starts to glow, I wait for it to work. “Make sure your focused on the race you want to be” she tells me before she casts the spell. As she casts it, I focus on pegasi, since I have always had a fascination with them.

After a blinding flash, I feel a little light but not much different, so I look at her confused, since her mouth is agape. “What's wrong Gene?” I ask with worry.

“Nothing wrong Hexan, it worked!!” She exclaims. I look to my sides and see wings, so I start running around our little glade in excitement.

“I have wings, I have wings, I have wings, I have wings, I have wings…” I continue on like this for a couple minutes before I realise… “How do I fly?”
