Flight envy (open)

[Deleted]

It had been ages since Compass Rose last saw Diamond Tiara, ever since he got his make-over. He couldn't help but feel that being unable to see her was his fault, that he had somehow made her mad. On top of those sad feelings, the unicorn was laying down, looking up at the sky as pegasus colts, fillies, mares and stallions were all flying about, enjoying themselves and each-others' company. It made him very sad as he began to think about his sisters. While they were good ponies at heart, they had enjoyed teasing him too much about being the only unicorn sibling. Why was he born a unicorn anyway?! He had no talent in magic, he had no talent in anything- on top of that, he was unable to join his sisters in the sky, all he could do was watch them just like he was watching these pegasi now.

The very thought of it made him sad, sad enough that he pushed up his new glasses once more before curling up, as if trying to take a nap. He was honestly just trying to hide his face, his tears behind his forelegs. He didn't know just how much he would be willing to give just to be able to fly like his sisters- he didn't want to be the freak of the family!

"HEY COMPASS!!!"

Scootaloo had flopped down next to the unicorn a while ago. Not for any particular reason, mostly because that particular piece of ground looked comfy. Her scooter lay over on the grass a short distance away, laying on its side. She'd said hello, but she must not have been very loud, seeing as there had been no response. She hadn't tried a second time. Instead she found herself looking at the same sight that he was. The happy pegasi flying back and forth across the sky, swooping and playing and diving and...

She'd sighed, a noticeable frown forming on her face. But...She'd glanced over, and saw that Compass seemed pretty upset by it too. She frowned more, but then he'd turned towards her...

Well, no point in being frumpy, right? So she put a big smile on her face and...

"HEY COMPASS!!!"

Having been close to zoning out, the unicorn flinched as he looked up to see Scootaloo, a fellow classmate and one of the 'blank flank crusaders' that Diamond Tiara always mocked. He could not understand why she would mock her, yet bother to attempt helping him get his cutiemark, nor did he have anything against Scootaloo personally. It wouldn't hurt to talk to her, would it?

"H-Hey there Scootaloo." he greeted her, putting on a half smile as he adjusted his glasses. He didn't know of her predicament, the fact she couldn't or at the very least had a lot of trouble with flying, leading to him being somewhat bewildered at the fact she wasn't up there with the rest of the pegasi. "H..How are you?" he asked, wondering if that was the right thing to say already. It was already tough talking to others, but he couldn't shake his jealousy of her wings. Sure, they were small- but he knew that once she grew up, she'd be a wonderful flier.
