Practice

"Uh, I haven't tried flying yet, but I'll do it now, okay?" "Okay," Scott says like there's nothing that could go wrong. After all, who would ever look up and notice a bird-kid? And what if you're actually too heavy to fly? Or what if you can't carry Scott? What if Dr. Hex is still in the neighborhood and sees you? "Wait for me in my rom, okay?" "Okay." He obediently marches upstairs. You follow him, then go up to the attic, open a window, and climb onto the roof Well, why not try takeoffs from here? You're nervous, though. What if you fall? You block those thoughts from your mind and run, opening your wings and flexing them. Then you run out of roof and jump. Will wour wings hold? To your surprise, they do! You suddenly just know how to flap, twisting your wings just the right way to keep you in the air. You soar away into the sky, then circle, dive, and then climb up again. Wow! This is absolutley amazing! You just know how to fly, even though you're not as graceful as a bird and could stilluse some work. Like years of it. But still.

Now what do you want to do?
