Flyte

Flyte was my own personal meditation. I would just stay up in the windless air for hours and hours on end. Thanks to this my wings grew large and powerful. Hey, if I'm gonna have em, might as well train em. I repeatedly dive bombed the ground only to flare my wings and ride back up on my draft. I did this with practiced ease, knowing what my altitude was, how long it would take to hit the ground. That sort of stuff. I decided I might as well check up on the schoolhouse. It made sense, the Mayor said that since she was going to find a family, they were going to probably send me to school. I saw the large gingerbread seeming building in the distance which I assumed was the school. I couldn't describe it even if I tried, the color was a much faded red and it only seemed to be pained on the roof and the front. The rest was decorated in crazy colors, it had a crows nest at the very peak which I decided to perch in for the time being.

I silently glided down into the small canopy, I was a little surprised to see that a bell had already all the room. Smiling a little I walked away from the nest and out onto the main roof area and took a nap, the sun was making me sleepy.

I awoke when the school bell starting ringing. It was bad from the ground, it was worse on the roof, the sound resounded through my skull in a dull ache as I was roughly dragged from my sleep. I looked around before realizing where I was.  looking down, I saw multiple fillies and colts running out of the schoolhouse. I smiled a bit to myself as I saw them run around and play. I knew that I was too old, not by age but by world wisdom. I watched them like an old buck would gaze at an old picture of himself if he was younger. I was so distracted by the sight that I didn't notice a little orange filly walking dejectedly out of the school, every step heavy with depression.

I noticed her as the crowd grew quiet, whispering as she passed . I allowed myself a wide grin as I shot down next to her in one powerful move.

"Hello again little missy" I said.

=============================================================================================

Scootaloo hadn't noticed anything, she had been so lost in thought not just then but throughout the entire day. Her mind going back to the hallway incident. Walking out of the school was a relief and a curse. One one hand she got to see her friends throughout the day uninterrupted, the downside was that it was the only reason anypony else even bothered to hang with her other than Sweetie and Applebloom.

She heard wings beat right next to her and a gasp from the conglomerate of foals, she didn't notice the sun being blocked by two giant dark wings until the owner spoke.

"Hello again little missy." He said, scootaloo jumped two feet in the air with the aid of her wings. "Y-y-you!" She stammered pointing a hoof at him. He just snickered a bit. She took a good long look at him. He had a shining green mane with a fudge brown coat. He had large black wings that seemed to block out the sun, on top of that he also had these beautiful blue eyes that seemed to glisten. She cocked her head to the side.

Now that she thought about it, he wasn't chubby like the rest of the kids. He seemed sleek, his face was angled with high cheekbones and an elongated snout.

"Just like the princesses." She found herself thinking. He must have noticed her starting as he suddenly stopped walking with her and struck a pose, his head high in the air and his chest puffed proudly. He had his wings flared as he cackled. "Like what you see?" He said gesturing to his body.

She could tell that she was going to like him. "Hmmm....depends on where I'm looking cuz this" she said pointing at the general area of his face "is NOT something for the faint of heart." She finished bursting into laughter. He must have also found this funny because he started rolling around in the dirt laughing his head off.

"Ya know, for a little filly your pretty funny." He said, whipping a tear away with a hoof. She just smiled and continued walking. He followed soon after. They began chatting a little, nothing special just small stuff like weather and family and stuff. Suddenly they were interrupted as the stallion stood perfectly still. His nose and ears flaring. "What's wrong?" She asked, sensing the apprehension. Suddenly he rolled backwards as a familiar Rainbow Mane shot out from the bushes to the left.

"Darn, and I almost had you too." Said Rainbow, untangling herself from a nearby hedge. Scootaloo saw the stallion raise an eyebrow and laugh a little. "And why might that be miss?" He asked, his nose and wings were still flared imposingly.

Rainbow looked up at the towering wings with a mixture of shock and awe, a smile dawning on her face. "Man was it a good idea adopting you!" She said, not even attempting to hide the excitement.

Scootaloo had turned cold inside after hearing that.

"Well now, surprise surprise." He said his voice dropping dangerously.
