Spectral Blaze

Spectral Blaze
>"Sweet Celestia, Blaze! Slow down already!"
>"Gotta go fast, daddy-o! If you can't keep up, you eat my dust!"
>"How in blood soaked Tartarus did that kid inherit her mother's speed without the wings?"
>"PARKOUR!"
>"Blaze! Stop shouting that! Kicking over a trash can to change direction isn't park- okay, but running along the wall of that building is... I mean, dammit! Slow down!"
>"No way-!"
>"Got'cha, squirt!"
>"Gah! Mom! lemme go!"
>"I caught her Spike, but a nice, strong dragon sure would be nice to actually HOLD HER!"
>"I got her... I got her... Geez I'm getting too old for this."
>"And fat from all the gems."
>"And out of shape because you stopped racing me every day."
>"I think we're getting off topic here. Let's get the speed demon back home and into her bath."
>"Nooo!"

>"It had been another day, another adventure for Daring Do. The End.'"
>"Wooooooooooow... That was such an awesome story, momma!"
>"Hah! I knew you'd like it, squirt, it was my favorite when I was young. Younger."
>"Hey, momma! Can I be just like Daring Do when I grow up?!"
>"Kid, you can be anything you put your mind to..."

>"So... Dash?"
>"Yeah, Spike?"
>"Twilight's mad at us."
>"Hey! You told me no one had any idea we did it on Twilight's throne!"
>"Uhh, that's not what it was about. Her class took a trip to the Canterlot Museum of History and... Remember when she said she wanted to grow up to be Daring Do?"
>"No."
>"Yes."
>"How badly did Twilight freak?"
>"Not half as bad as she will when she finds out I accidentally ate the Sapphire Idol Blaze brought home."

>This is the domain of my family
>The dragons soar in this sky
>The pegasi command the winds
>But I was born without wings and could only share heaven with my mom and dad in those brief moments my legs could propel me
>But now
>I join the domain of the winds
>"Mom, dad... Watch me." I whisper to no one and leap out from Canterlot's highest tower
>I look down at the ponies below, and I see mom and dad's horrified expressions amongst them when they finally find me
>Mom races up to catch me
>Just a few meters away and I spread my arms and legs
>The fabric membranes unfurls and catches the air and I pull just away from Mom's hooves and flash her a smile while banking off along a warm air pocket to rise back up to my original starting level
>As I soar off I shout in triumph: "PARKOUR!!!"

>A few moments of gliding two familiar faces join me
>"Spectral Blaze, that was totally awesome, kiddo." Mom smirks and then twists into a scowl
>"But you're still grounded for a month after this." she and dad somehow say in unison

>Totally worth it.
