First Flight

Randy gave the foreign appendages a experimental flap. The wings answered accordingly, making him shiver at the foreign sensation. When the Nomicon said he was ready to learn the art of flying he was overjoyed, but know he didn't know what to think. Luckily they were only there when he wore the mask. He had stupidly told the Nomicon he had this and didn't need its help, resulting in it angrily kicking him out. He had decided to practice on the school roof, and Howard tagged along. After at least an hour of face planting and Howard dying of laughter he went crawling back to Nomicon.

"In order to spread your wings, you must first forget being grounded" Was all that it answered with.

Confused Randy left the Nomicon.

"Soooo... what did it say?" Asked Howard eating a bag of chips he must have gotten while Randy was in the Nomicon.

"Something about spreading my wings and forgetting being grounded" Randy responded.

"What does that mean?"

"Does it look I know?"

"Why don't you ask that Dragon kid, he has wings"

"His name is Jake and HOWARD YOU'RE A GENIUS!"Randy shouted running off to text Jake.

"I am?"


A few days later Randy sat outside the school in his mask waiting for Jake, who was late. Tapping his hoof impatiently he shivered as he felt his new wings open half way.

"Ninja?"

Randy jolted at the familiar voice. "oh, hey Theresa"He quickly stopped a face hoof, he forgot he was wearing his mask.

The Pegasus in question giggled " what are you doing?"

"Waiting for a friend, he's late. What are you doing here so late? "

Theresa grabbed her baton from her saddlebag "twirling practice"

"oh" Randy found himself observing Theresa's wings as they gently flapped. "how do they make it look so easy" he thought to himself.

"soooo... The wings-"

"Don't ask" Randy half snapped half muttered.

Theresa pulled back "Do you know how to fly?"

"that's why I'm waiting for my friend "

"I can show you how"

"Hmmm?"

"I mean, you do a lot for us so -"

"HEADS UP!"

Randy jerked his head toward the new voice only to get bowled over. He looked up to see Danny Grinning down at him. A pair of fake, see-through wings made of ectoplasm open half way.

"Danny!, as happy as I am to see you where's Jake, and what's with the ectoplasm wings?"

"Jake had something come up , something about warring breezies. Sooooo he asked me to help you instead!

Randy couldn't help but groan as he watched Theresa fly away.


Half-hour later Randy grinned widely as he hovered off the ground. He was doing it! It only took Danny shoving him off the roof ans screaming "FLY!"

"ready to go higher?"

Randy looked up at Danny, his excitement and confidence taking over. "Heck yeah!"

Randy look around him with a look of awe. Danny had just lead him to the sky above the clouds.

"Now I know why you and Jake said I was missing out"

Danny laughed from the cloud he had perched himself on "yeah?"

"yeah!"

"well come on Ninja" Danny quipped jumping of the cloud to take to the sky once more.

Randy experimentally let his fore legs down to run through the cloud. The feeling was indescribable.


Randy was exhausted by the time he landed on the ground. His wings hung limply at his side. He removed his mask, storing it in his saddlebag he started walking home. He had just left the school grounds when he stopped and stared blankly ahead. He understood the lesson now.
