(Y/n) POV

"Ok," Morpheus had me outside the palace. It was during the daylight which was a pleasantry. "First thing about flying is the wings, do you have yours? I noticed you never really seem to spread them," He looked disappointed at me.

"Well humans don't have wings you know! Plus... mine..."

"Is something wrong with them? Come now luv they can't be that bad," he cooed softly at me. "Look I promise, I promise, I won't laugh ok?"

I pouted, "I don't have them on my back constantly like you do."

"Oh so you're simply able to hide them away that's all. I think it's a red queen thing they seem to be able to store them no problem."

"Well I can get them out then," I spread them, they were almost transparent but they had a beautiful red shimmer to them with swirls throughout that seemed almost comparable to the galaxies or the stars of wonderland. Simple fairy's wings, a bit longer than my arms could stretch out.

"Why do you hide them they're beautiful!" He hugged me tight and kissed my cheeks.

"Morry!"

"You should show them off more luv! Your wings are a symbol of your power here," he smiled down at me.

"What good are they when you can't even fly though? I barely know how to use them."

"Ok so," he spread his own ebony wings out, "first step flap!" He flapped his. "You will be different though, you know how Gossamer does her flying yes? That's how you'll fly!"

"You make it sound so easy," I mutter.  But still have to try I guess.  I think of Gossamer and her obnoxious fluttering in my ear and I copy that to the best I can.

"Easy slow down, slow down!"

Too late...

Turns out these babies pick up speed fast, now there's a slightly bigger problem...

I'M FLYING EXTREMELY FAST HIGH IN THE AIR AND HAVE NO IDEA HOW TO SLOW DOWN OR LAND!  "MORPHEUS I SWEAR TO GOD I HATE YOU SO SO MUCH RIGHT NOW!"
