Chapter 8:

Note: This chapter is a song chapter. The song I shall be using is "Let me be your wings" from the Thumbelina Soundtrack. My little Pony: Friendship is magic belongs to Hasbro and Laura Faust. The Thumbelina songs and soundtrack belongs to sbk records. Also I had to describe how to fly the best I thought how, because when I looked it up on the internet, everything came up on "how to book a flight". -_-

*A little time later*

The sounds of frustration could be heard in Ponyville's town square. I was trying to figure out the mechanics of my newly acquired appendages, my wings. Unfortunately, I couldn't even figure out how to open them. Every attempt turned out to be a different contortion of pain. "Come on Seasonessa it's not that hard. It's no different the extending a bent leg, just that it's up and out. See?" Rainbow said trying to be encouraging.

"That's easy for you to say. You haven't spent the majority of your life as a bi-pedal creature" I argued. "I mean the upper limbs are not legs, their arms, they move all around like monkey's, but more controlled and calculated" I added. "Well then why don't we use that as a tool to teach you my dear" said a suave male voice. "Prince Zodiac you followed us here"? I asked slightly weirded out. "Me? Stalk? Surely you jest Seasonessa dear. I told you I am staying in Ponyville, so I want to take everything in" He insisted. "Well now that I am here, may I be of some help teaching her lady Rainbow?" he offered. "Sure whatever dude, go right ahead" Rainbow snickered.

"Wait Rainbow please do not bolt on me" I pleaded, but it didn't help. She bolted to her favorite resting tree and watched what unfurled. "Right so let us get started shall we?" he said giving a smile of victory. "Now pretend that you are a bi-pedal creature and your wings are your arms, try extending them like you would arms" he instructed. I did as I was told, and it worked. "Ha finally I did it" I said with a bit more confidence than before. "Next pretend that the bases of your wings are shoulders, and you raise them up" he started.

"Next lift the middle section like there arm elbows, then let to top part follow like wrists" he added." Now to flap the wings down, you do what I told you downward" Zodiac finished. "Wow this reminds me of snake arms I used to do while using my Belly dancing DVD. I can do this" I thought to myself. I did what I was told and I finally lifted myself off the ground. "Very good, now slightly lean forward, and let us take flight together" the prince instructed.

Let me be your wings.

Let me be your only love.

Let me take you far beyond the stars.

As I was flying, the prince was right alongside me. He never took his eyes off of me. His side brushed against me on occasion with gentle feather like strokes, but not overly invading my space. You would think he should be focusing ahead, but he was so good he could probably do it in his sleep.

Let me be you wings.

Let me lift you high above.

Everything we're dreaming of will soon be ours.

For once the prince's come hither stares were not overwhelming me. I was enjoying this new found talent far too much. This was better than the time I went parasailing, especially because I wasn't feeling sick.

Anything that you desire anything at all

Every day I'll take you higher, and I'll never let you fall.

"Ok now to teach you how to make left and rights. There easy all you have to do is lean your body either left or right depending on which way you want to go" said Zodiac. I went left and went right. He copied my every move. We were in sync like the waves of the Ocean.

Let me be your wings.

Leave behind the world you know.

For another world of wondrous things

We'll see the universe and dance on Saturn's rings.

Fly with my, and I will be your wings.

Now that I learned all the basics of flying, I let myself relax and have fun with it. I could comfortably say that, even if I was flying with the prince. I mean sure he was a little overbearing flirty, but he wasn't a bad guy. I could at least be friendly with him. It was the least I could do since he so graciously offered to help me with my flying. I decided then, that is what I would do.

Anything you desire anything at all anything at all

Every day I'll take you higher and I'll never let you fall

You will be my wings.

You will be my only love.

Get ready for another world of wondrous things.

Wondrous things are sure to happen.

We'll see the universe and dance on Saturn's rings.

Heaven isn't too far.

Heaven is where you are

Stay with me and let me be your wings.
