 Fore word: I've based this off of an experience I had at the circus a long time ago, this was the most magical day of my life. It brings tears to my eyes just to think about it.

 

I sat against the humorously tiny EMT ambulance and gazed in wonderment and the spectacle above me. I watched as flightless clowns swung and glided amongst the rafters. I watched them as they rumbled and tumbled and walked across the invisible wires. I watched them toss each other from one thin wire to the next. I hung off the edge of my seat as I watched them run, unicycle, and then cartwheel across the air. I watched them as they flew and soared higher than I ever had. I watched them put one another's lives into each others' hooves. I watched them, and I wept tears of joy as they stumbled and bumbled about above me without missing a single step. I gazed at each and every one of them and watched in awe of the beauty and agility of the flightless. They were magnificent, they flew without wings nor magic. And yet, it was the most magical thing I'd ever seen. 

 

I snapped back to reality at Shades's beckoning.

 

"Argos, is something wrong?" He asked. "You're crying."

 

I looked to the Wonderbolts zipping and whizzing about in the air, they flew with wings, the magic was gone. I shook my head and looked away from the Wonderbolts' show beside us.

 

"No, I'm just reminiscing. I used to be an EMT for aerial acrobats, you know. But I remember it being so much more magical."
