It was a nice sunny day with pleasant wind in the air, day ideal for long walks or, in Rusty's case, for flying. In Manehatten it was... difficult to fly outside with all those high buildings, Pegasi everywhere... but here, in Ponyville it was just clear blue sky with barely anypony flying around. It was almost impossible to crash into somepony, one could easily fly with his eyes closed. And it felt so good to feel the wind in your mane.
There were only few times Rusty was earthbound, once when he hurt his wing while helping Silversky and once when he broke his wing during training. Both of those times were depressing, Rusty felt like a prisoner, he just wanted to spread his wings and fly... but he couldn't. Since then, he grew far more careful and he learned how to fall. If he wanted to be accepted in the flying camp for expert he had to train a lot... and also, sometimes, fall a lot...
This time he didn't need to be so careful, since the sky above Ponyville was so safe. At least that was his last thought before he hit something. He had no idea what it was... probably some other flyer who was in rush. He lost his balance and was falling to the ground, there was no time to do anything, just prepared. He felt the pain from impact, but it was nothing terrible, he was rolling on the ground, thumbing towards a brown colt, who was unfortunate enough to be in his path...
BANG!
Rusty stopped by colliding with this colt. His head was spinning a little, but he was fine, mostly just bruises and scratches.
"Uhm... hey? Are you alright? Sorry to bump into you... quite literally... I had a little bit of a tumble... "
