First Flap

A sudden rush sparked right through my spine! My small wings gave an involuntary twitch, then fluttered outward. Hey, wait—I can move! I dug my soft hooves into the navy bedsheet beneath me and gave a quick, spirited hop. The fabric rippled around me as I caught my balance right next to a printed skeleton dinosaur. I planted all four legs firmly and gave a quiet, excited puff of breath. Real legs, real wings, real me!
