Wings Of Hope

Chapter 4

“Did you want to see me, Princess Twilight?” Star Shine asked, looking up from her bed, smiling weakly.

Twilight nodded and held her hoof,

“Star Shine, what would you give to be able to fly, see the world and everything in it?” She asked her quietly. Star Shine was confused, but replied anyway,

“Oh, anything in the world! I’d give my heart and soul for that!” She sighed, looking down in sadness.

Twilight nodded and looked into her bright blue eyes,

“Then, with your permission, I’d like to give you my wings,” She announced, “I found out how to do it, it’s little complicated but I think I’ll be able to do it.”

Star Shine widened her eyes in surprise, taking heavy breaths,

“A-Are you sue Princess Twilight? Wouldn’t that mean you.. wouldn’t be a princess anymore?”

Twilight nodded and smiled,

“I don’t care, if you had wings then you’d be able to see the outside world and live a long, beautiful life.”

After saying that, she placed her horn on top of Star Shine’s head and concentrated on her magic. A bright white light exploded from her horn, which everypony had to shield their eyes from. When the light faded, everypony widened their eyes at Star Shine’s new body; beautiful wings her gently flapping from her shoulders. She looked at them and burst into to tears with happiness,

“Thank you Twilight Sparkle! Thank you!” She cried, “You will always be a princess, and a hero, to me. Now I can be able to fly and get around more easily.”

The doctors and Twilight then helped Star Shine lift into the air, Twilight’s magic made Star Shine limbs move very slightly; Not enough to walk or to pick things up, but enough to be able to protect herself if she banged into a wall.

Twilight wiped away her tears of pride and joy, even though she gave up her Princesshood, she gave a different pony hope.

When she got back home, she picked up a blank page and a quill and began to write,

Dear Princess Celestia,

Even though I studied hard to earn my Princesshood, I knew somepony else who wanted them more than me.

I learned that giving is much better than getting and that everypony deserves a happy future. I hop you didn’t mind me giving up my wings, but I knew it was the right thing to do; and you taught me that the right choice is not always the easiest, but it’s the greatest.

From your faithful Student,

Former Princess Twilight Sparkle.

She got Spike to send it to Princess Celestia and looked at him,

“I’m no longer a princess, now I’ll just plain old Unicorn Twilight Sparkle.” She said with no regret in her voice.

Spike nodded and smiled, “Just the way I like you!” He laughed, giving her a giant hug and not wanting to let go.

The End
