The morning Sun rose into the sky revealing a new day, with the coolness of the night fading away until its due time. The ponies of Equestria started their daily happy lives. Bluejays and Robins emerged from their nest and soar high into the sky. As the little pegasus saw through her window. All the other fillies and colts already left their assigned rooms to have breakfast, leaving this small pony by herself. Although she was use to it, there was something very different about her. To the point she wants to hate herself. I mean, it explains everything. Why she was stuck in an orphanage since birth smack down in the middle of Fillidelphia. With every pony that came by to the orphanage looked at her in a strange way when she was five. But luckily that stopped when she always covered herself in a wide cape. For years.
Not looking forward to start the day, because it will be like any other one, she took the same blue cape and wrapped it around her. Only showing her hooves, and walked out the door.
..
The pony walked in the shadows, trying to keep hidden from everyone. She retrieved her food in a small brown bag, and slowly started to sneak out the room, only to be caught by one of the care takers Ms. Lira. "Hazel rose? Why don't you eat in here with everyother pony?"
The room became silent from the chattering of conversations. All of the ponies turned their heads in the same direction to see the pegasus. Not one of them was her friend, but gossipers and bullies. She didn't want to have anything to deal with them.
Hazelrose sighed, and slowly turned around to find a table. They all stared at her as she took her seat at an empty table in a corner. A minute after she took her seat, the ponies burst into whispers. Most of them knew her secret.
One unicorn specifically was the main problem. The pony uprouch next to the uncomfortable pegasus and hopped into a seat next to her. "So Hazel, why don't you want to join all the other ponies huh?" She said grinning. "I-I like to be alone.." Hazel answered sheepishly. Oh why does she want to mess with her now?
"Well that can't be true.." now trying to find a breach somewhere. "You look so sad all the time, and tell me this. Why do you always wear that rag?"
"I don't have time for your games Vanelopi.." She replied. Now getting up and briskly walking away back. Holding back her anger.
"Well, I bet you have something special under there. After all, I never seened you fly before.."
That does it.
Hazelrose was furious. She quickly turned around and snapped back at the unicorn. "YOU LISTEN TO ME! KEEP ON WITH THIS AND YOU'RE NOT GOING TO BE ABLE TO SEE NEXT WEEK!" She yelled, pushing the unicorn out the chair and landing to the floor. Everypony gasped as they saw this. Staring. Vanelopi noticed this, and took it as an advantage. "Oww! My leg!" She fakely exclaimed. "Hazelrose hurt mee!"
Ms. Lira stood up and marched over to the two. "Is this true!?" Hazel glared at the unicorn, which was enjoying the moment. "Yes! She kicked me to the ground!"
"What!? She's lying! I never kicked her!"
The teacher raised her hoof for the two to stop argueing. "Hazelrose,go to your room and think about what have you done. And don't come out until I say you can."
She couldn't believe what was happening. How can they believe this?! Vanelopi was the one that started it!
With nothing else to do to defend herself, she began to walk back with her head hung low. When she took her first few steps, Vanelopi decided for the real action to come in. Without anyone noticing, she quickly grabbed the blue cape that Hazelrose had worn so long.
The crowd was shocked.
Hazelrose's two wings was only half made. A major birth defect, and has never been lifted a foot off the ground in her life. She couldn't even fold them, only seeming like feathered stubs on her back.
Everyone burst out laughing at the sight. Ms. Lira glared at the other children to silence them. "Hazelrose, do as you was told."
Tears began to well-up in her green-blue eyes. Humiliated, she ran out crying. Not daring to look back.
...
"It's not fair! It's not my fault I was born like this! My life is ruined all because of my stupid wings!" The pony cried in her bed helplessly. She has no family. She has no friends. She has no future. She can never have her freedom in the sky. Hazelrose always had wondered what it was like to fly. Happy and amazing she assumes, but never will feel it. How come she's stuck in here, watching the birds and butterflies soar by, not able to join them or the other pegasi? She's never even went to cloudsdale before! It's not fair! Is that too much to ask for?!
The door opened, as the caretaker slowly peaked in. "Hazelrose?" She ask softly. "Do you want to talk about it?
The pegasus did not acknowledge the question. What could she do anyways? Hazel never had love before, and probably never will. "Go away.." She murmured with her face buried in the pillow.
Ms. Lira walked in and sat next to her. "Hazel, I know you didn't do anything wrong. Just try to ignore them-"
"HOW CAN I IGNORE THIS?!" She yelled, flapping her distorted wings.
The older pony sighed. "It won't always be like this, look into the future and find your way. Not everypony lives a perfect life at first, but you will find your purpose somewhere."
The pegasus looked up. "But I'm weird! To all the ponies that ever came by here seemed like I'm some kind of freak show! Why couldn't I be like any other pony!?"
Ms. Lira got up and opened the curtains more to let the sunlight in to fill the darkness. " Hazelrose, have you ever met two or more ponies that was exactly the same in everyway?" The small filly thought for a moment, then shook her head.
"Okay then. All ponies are special in their own unique way, including you."
"But I can't fly. And I have no talents.. How could I-"
Ms. Lira raised her hoof up. "Because you have to find it.."
With that being said the caretaker walked out of the room, closing the door softly behind her. Hazelrose looked out the window into the blue sun-lit sky. True what Ms. Lira said, but the main problem was. How can anyone love a pony like her?
