The train ride to Canterlot was taking a lot longer than I expected, especially since I have to take care of my two extremely annoying siblings, Scooter, and his twin sister Sparks. Oh, I'm sorry, I havent properly introduced myself. My name is Crimson Skye, but everypony calls me Sonni. Oh, these things, they're nothing special, just my FLIGHT MACHINES! Errhem... sorry, pegasus pride. Heh...

"Are we there yet" asked Scooter, a young, blue unicorn with a purple and pink mane.

"Shut up, Scooter! You are ruining my beauty sleep." Yelled his twin sister Sparks. She is a little taller than her brother, but definitely equally annoying.

"Keep it quiet, guys, or I'll go all beserko on both of ya'lls blank flanks!" I said, trying to get them to stop fighting.

"Calm your horses Sonni, you have no cutiemark either, remember?" Said Scooter, sarcastically. I slowly exhaled, a little annoyed.

"Just make sure you're on your best behavior once we get to Canterlot. Remember what happened when we visited Uncle Cosmo?" I said, hoping to bump some sense into them. I knew i was expecting the impossible. Asking the twins to behave, pffft, who am I kidding, the closest I've ever gotten them to behave properly was when they sleep, and sometimes they don't even do that right. Well, they are my younger siblings, so I have to love and tolerate them to death.

I know, I know. You're probably asking yourself 'how in the wide, wide kingdom of Equestria is a pegasus related to two unicorns?' Well, the truth is, we're not related at all. I never met my real parents, or at least I don't remember them. I was simply a homeless little filly walking along the streets of Ponyville when Sparks and Scooter met me. They introduced me to their parents and eventually I became part of the family.

I grew up being the odd one out, the outcast. Being the only no-horn winged freak in the family, I was always feeling out of place. Sometimes, when started teaching the twins spells and other forms of magic only unicorns could do, I would fly all the way to the farthest corner of the roof and stare at the clouds, imagining how amazing it would be to soar up into the sky. But every single time I asked , he would just say no. How ironic, a family named "the Skyes" prohibit me from flying into the sky.

One day, when the Skyes were still asleep, I secretly went to the highest point in all of Ponyville, Sundown Peak. Once at the top of the highest cliffside, I braced myself, took a glimpse at the height of the fall, took a deep breath, and without hesitation, took the leap. Down I went, plummeting straight down at an incredible speed. For some strange reason my wings were snapped shut and wouldn't open for the world. Just as I thought my life was coming to an end, I heard a big explosion emanating from behind me. In a split-second, my wings opened up, catching a massive wave of air, which caused the most excruciating pain I have ever felt in my life. At the last moment, when I could literally smell the ground, I managed to level myself and take off, flying at super-fast speeds.

After a long, excitingly amazing flight through Ponyville, I landed back at Sundown Peak. The rush of adrenaline would have caused me to take off again, but something held me back. A massive rainbow, the full spectrum, flew over my mane in a majestically colorful way. The happiness that filled my heart was so great that without hesitation I looked down to my flank, but to my dismay, no cutiemark.

"Crimson!" Yelled Scooter, popping straight out of my flashback. "My sister is being a total jerk."

"No I am not!" Replied Sparks, blazing in red hot fury.

"I don't even wanna know." I exhaled, not wanting to take any part whatsoever in their never-ending sibling warfare.

"Dear passengers, we are approaching our final destination, the Canterlot Grand Station." Said the conductor in a very monotone tone of voice.

"You hear that guys, we're almost there." I said, hoping that it would shut them up. Surprisingly enough, it actually did. They instantly turned as silent as silence itself. It all seemed too good to be true, so I turned back to see what was happening. That was when I noticed why they were so quiet. Out in the distance stood the massive towers of the Canterlot castle, protruding from the side of a colossal mountain.

"Wow..." Exclaimed the twins.

"It is pretty impressive, isn't it?" I said, trying to sound as serious as possible while looking at the amazing beauty of the majestic city of Canterlot.
