"Alright, time to move." I began to fly again in order to reach the farm faster. I had no intention of staying in that tree any longer. Didn't want to draw attention so I flew slow enough so my wings wouldn't make any noise when they flapped. I glided through the sky, but not too high. Ok, so I was afraid, but if I went any higher they would be able to spot me. I continued flying my way to the farm when I realized that everyone really had disapeared. Something was definately not right, and the changeling's presence wasn't any coincidence either.
If I had been paying attention and not so wrapped up in my thoughts, I would've noticed that I was flying straight into a wall. I felt the hard bricks slam against my thick skull. It was actually quite loud, to my surprise, which was the last thing I needed right now. As soon as I got back to my hooves I saw the my three imposters flying towards me at great speeds."Ahh buck it! Screw stealth", I said aloud. With that I got a running start and leaped into the air, wings flapping with all my strength.
I was at a good distance between them when I felt a warm beam rush past me. I quickly looked over my shoulder to find more changelings chasing me and that the ones that weren't impersonating me were firing some sort of magic beam at me."Oh well that's just perfect!", if it wasn't one thing it was another. Bzzzap Bzzap. They kept firing at me while I desperately tried to dodge their lasers. I had to do something to try to get em off off my tail. While I kept dodging, I reached into my saddlebag. There had to be something in here; dental floss from Colgate, ipod, pencils and pens, an eraser annnnd AHA!! Here we go!
I looked over my shoulder once more to see one of my persuers gaining. "Alright, here goes nothing." I remembered once when AJ and I were talking she told me about her friend Rainbow Dash and some of the tricks she performs. I had heard about her and got to witness her perform once or twice, but there was a couple of moves and one in particular that I'd always wanted to try. I continued flying yet stopped maneuvering so I was flying in a steady line. The changeling got closer and closer untill...FWOOSH! I had expanded my wings at their full span, causing me to greatly drop my speed in a second. The changeling wizzed past me and now I was on his tail. I steadied my aim, focused just a little bit, and threw it! Blam! Applesauce all across his face.
Then it hit me...did I really just do that? Did I really think I was going to stop a changeling by throwing an apple? Words can not express how much of an idiot I felt like. But this was no time for pity, I had to loose them somehow. The lead changeling still had applesauce all over his face so he was still blinded, at least temporarily. With the others hot on my tail, I had no other choice. You have to understand, as a pegasus,whether we like it or not flying is just part of us. Ever since we were little every pegasus dreams of being fantastic fliers, so much so that we even start practicing made-up tricks of our own. I had a couple myself that I practiced when I was just a little colt, one in particular however I had practiced for the longest. Yet after an incident involving that trick I stopped practicing and grew an enormous fear of heights afterwords. If only I had more time to perfect it. No matter, if I had any hope of loosing them I had to do it.
I took a deep and heavy breath, and then began to dive a little bit. I wasn't too far from the ground but that was all right, it would work, I hope. I outstretched my bottom legs and bent them slightly as I felt the ground. Bending a little farther, I flapped my wings as hard as I could towards the ground, giving a huge bounce to my momentum when I originally hit the floor. I sky rocketed upwards as I angled myself more and more vertically. I could feel it, the adrenaline running through my body. The clouds began to whizz past me. I was moving closer and closer to going super sonic. I immediately began to feel one or two tears running across my cheeck. I was scared, so much so that I was afraid I might have a panic attack in mid air which could be fatal. Everything began to blur, and I began to feel light-headed. The entire time I was just praying in the back of my mind, begging for some higher being to let me live through this. This was it, I had reached the climax. Still accelerating, I angled myself just right, and let go. I stopped my acceleration in the middle of a back flip, causing me to spiral out of control. As I flipped without end I began descending back towards the surface. By this point I had blacked out due to the lack of oxygen up there, and my fear was just so great I fainted. As soon as I felt the wind rush past my mane however, I awoke. I realized what I had just done and began to freak out. Trying to regain control I flapped my wings. It was pointless however because I was falling at such great speeds and hadn't yet reached terminal velocity."Come on Come on!" I couldn't do anything. I was stuck flipping in mid air like some kinda rag doll. The ground got closer, I could see I was right over Sweet Apple Acres. At the very least, I had made it to work just fifteen minutes late. The trees were becoming more and more distinguishable as I got closer. Finally, my prayers had been answered when I reached terminal velocity and was able to use my wings. Because of the massive amount of speed I'd collected I would only be able to control the direction of which I came tumbling to the ground. Expanding my wings to their maximum I desperately tried to slow down and find a soft spot among the trees. I couldn't do much though, I was just coming in way too fast.
"Aww man this is gonna hurt! AAAAAUUUUGGGGHHH!"
