An Electrifying Journey

Chapter 37 - Flying

Double chapters all the way across the sky!

I was walking down the street, on my way to the Carousel Boutique. Receiving some weird faces along the way. This made me a lot uncomfortable but I tried my best to ignore it. After a few steps, I heard flapping of wings and gusts of wind blew my mane and tail. Shucks! Is that Luna? That better not be! I just continued walking, thinking that it was just and imagination. But then after a few more steps, I heard a very familiar voice. "Hey." I turned to see a cyan pegasus. Phew, its just rainbow. I heaved a sigh of relieve. "Hey, name's Rainbow Dash. I do not think that I have seen you before. You knew?" I shook my head "It's just me, Davis." Rainbow's left brow twitched upwards and she floated on the air. "Davis? Since when did you become a pony? Not to mention an awesome looking alicorn too!" I blushed and chuckled a bit "Well, I asked for Celestia to change me into a pony and so she did! And it was so good for me to be an alicorn. I always wanted to use magic AND fly." Rainbow nodded her head. "Mind if you show me some tricks?" Rainbow asked, coming close. "Well I never really flied yet to be honest." Rainbow gasped "Wow what a waste of an athletic body." She placed her hood on her chin and then she opened her eyes wide as though she had thought of something,and she did. "I know! Why don't I teach you how to fly. Maybe I could make you fly 20% cooler if I am your coach!" I laughed "Alright then. Teach me." She nodded her head and told me to follow her. She flew all the way to the other side of the street and stopped she came back in a second. "Whoops forgot you can't fly." She closed her wings and lead the way to where she wanted to teach me.

We arrived on the hill where Luna and my cousins used to camp. Where I had the best night of my life. "This is my training grounds." Rainbow said, floating on top of me with the help of her wings "It is a neat place, there are no disturbance and no birds flying in the sky. I looked up at the sky and around the place. She was right, this place was secluded. She landed gently next to me and said "Now, lets begin." I nodded my head. "We start with some warm ups to get the body going." She went to a push up position and I followed. She began with her set of push ups and I began mine. She kept going until 25 and I went until 30. Amazingly. I never been able to make 25 or more push ups as a human. Maybe I am more buff as a pony. After the push ups, we did stretching and after a set of that, I was ready for my first flight lesson. Rainbow paced left to right as she lectured me on how she first learnt how to fly. (5 minutes later) "-and thats when I learnt fly!" She said excitingly. I yawned as I was getting bored. "Okay, now lets begin." Wait we have not begun? I facehoofed and then listened to Rainbow. "Try to feel the muscles at you back, try to rotate them, open them up, stretch them." For some odd reason, I was able to fell just that. I could feel an extra set of muscles at my back. I then thought of stretching them and I felt those muscles move.

"now your doing it!" Rainbow smiled. "Now flap them!" I turned around to see my grey wings spread out widely. They seem larger compared to Rainbows. Maybe this could give me an advantage. I listened to what Rainbow said and thought of my wings flapping. And it did, it begun flapping and gusts of wind blew off some dirt away. I began to lift myself up in the air gradually. "This is awesome!" I said with a smile. I could see how effortless it feels. It does not take up much energy, but what about doing tricks. "Good, now trying moving both of them in one direction." I did as I was told and as I tilted them to a angle facing backwards, I began flying forward. I was gaining a lot of speed as I flapped my wings faster and faster, I was soon in Sweet Apple Acres in 10 seconds when it actually take 3 minutes to get there. I changed the angle of my wings and tilted my body up. I began flying upwards to the sky. This was awesome! But then, I felt a strong wind brush past me and a faint colour of a rainbow flew past. I looked up to see rainbow flying with a smirk on her face. "Nice, now could you go faster?" I narrowed my eyes and flapped my wings more vigorously. I began flying so fast like I was a jet or something, as I flew past the clouds, they parted in a form of a circle because of the shock wave I sent. I was flying at a very high speed and I had more difficulty breathing now as I get higher. Rainbow zoomed past me and stopped right on top. I quickly made adjustments and floated with her on the clear sky, gasping for air.

Rainbow laughed "Tired already?" I panted "Take it easy, I am just a beginner." I turned and looked down, I was a bit scared as I saw how high I was. Rainbow snickered "Afraid of heights?" I closed my eyes and shook my head. "No longer am." i took a deep breath as looked at the beautiful sun shine its light on Equestria. I could see the castle a bit far off. "Say Rainbow, how long does it take to fly to Canterlot?"
"Hmmm... around 10 minutes to be sure."
I nodded my head. Now I do not need a carriage to fly me there. Rainbow looked at me "Now that we are here, I would like to show you some basic tricks for pure beginners." I nodded my head. "Okay sure. Show me" Rainbow smiled and proceeded to show me a very simple trick, the barrel roll. It looked easy but it is not. I have to make very quick adjustments with my wings to get the right angle to perform a good spin. I took down some pointers and proceeded to do a barrel roll. I was blowing out my air as I got ready for the new trick I just learned. I began flying very fast I think I was as fast as baby rainbow, or slower. I was now ready and then I tilted my body at a certain angle and tilted my wings the opposite way. I began turning clockwise but I then lose control as I spun too much. I felt very dizzy and was about to puked until my barrel roll was stopped and I began falling straight down. I quickly made some calculations and worked out my wings and just before I hit the ground, I suddenly swerved to the top and then back down. I landed with a thud and was happy that I did not land face first again. I panted. Rainbow laughed as she flew down. "Nice try. That happens to me a lot of time but with practise I am sure you sill be half as good as my barrel roll. I cursed silently. "Again." rainbow said. I shook my head "Damn, I am tired. At least rest?" Rainbow shook her head and asked me to follow. she led me to a swing kind of set up and she as me to stand on the end which was down and so I did. Rainbow flew to the top and counted to three. My eyes widened

I knew what she was doing. "Rain bow maybe we could jus- AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" I flew high up all of a suddenly and was on collision course with a fashionish house. I closed my eyes as I braced for impact. This is going to hu- I grunted as I crashed through the window and made a hole on the floor and crashed downstairs. My head swirled and when I stood, I stumbled all over the place. I was not able to see where I was as my vision is too blurred out. I shook my head and saw Rarity glaring at me. "Oh hey Rarity." She growled "Hello Davis, kind of you too 'bump' in here." I looked around, still stumbling due to my giddyness. I looked at the mess I made...no the mess rainbow made. I felt bad and looked at Rarity with sorry eyes. "I am so sorry Rare, you see, I was out at the field practising with Rainbow when she catapulted me here. Rarity fumed "When I get that Rainbow, I will make sure that..." She mumbled stuff that I cannot hear and then she glared at me and then her face twitched and it changed to normal...weird. "Nevermind, I will call a repairman. Since you here do you want to take a look at you clothes?" I smiled at the fashion pony "I would love to." She led the way up the stairs and into the clothing room where a mannequin of two humans were standing and a nice clothing was worn on them. I beamed a large smiled at how exact it looked. "like it?" Rarity asked, walking around the two mannequins.

"I love it rare!" This robes are awesome! Perfect for nightmare night." Rarity giggled "How could I ever repay you?" I asked. "I am not usually so demanding but since you...Rainbow destroyed my home... I am going to have you pay umm...1700 bits." My mouth hung at how much it costs. I really have to go get some jewels to sell at Cantelot. "Umm...maybe I will pay you next time, I am currently out." Rarity looked a bit confused "But your a prince!" I chuckled "Yes but I do not have money, rare. My parents are in control of my bits." She nodded her head. "Alright, but you have to pay, I am going to use this week's earnings to fix up this house!" I opened the front door. "Okay rare. I am so sorry.' She smiled at me. "Its nothing much darling, goodbye." It was now getting dark so I headed to twilight's house for a well earn dinner.

Okay I am too tired for a 3000 word chapter sorry but I will see you guys again!
