This idea was thought of when I made a certain journal update about me flying through the air, (because I was on an Airplane heading to NY for the holiday).
All of my watchers responded in many different ways, from not knowing was I was talking about, to me being on drugs, to actually getting it right away!
Then of course some of them conversated with me about Obi actually sprouting a pair of wings.

I've actually come up with a reason to why he got the wings…….

One day Obi was grazing the grass near the edge of the Everfree, when he unknowingly started eating trunk-loads of Poison Joke. He was uninformed of what it's affects were. Being a species that eats pretty much any kind of plant matter, he didn't mind the strange blue color at all, he actually thought it was mighty tasty!
By the time he finished eating, he consumed over 10 pounds of the plant, still unaware of what would follow later on.
The next day he woke up with quite a shock to see two giant grey wings on either side of him!

(Skip ahead all the explaining and stuff…..)

Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy then offered to give a flying lesson to Obi, since he's pretty much stuck with the wings for now. Might as well see how good they are.
After some practice flaps and wing-motions on the ground, Obi was ready to take flight.
Both ponies were doubtful that he would even be able to achieve flight, but surprisingly, defying both the laws of gravity and nature and…….aerodynamics for that matter, he got off the ground! WAY of the ground!
Up to cloud level to be precise.
After a while of basic flight motions like banking, pulling up, hovering, etc, Rainbow thought it would be a good time to start practicing more intense moves, like a dive.
This took Fluttershy by surprise because she didn't hear what Rainbow was telling Obi from the other side of him. And so their sudden sharp downward incline startled her.
This is the point of where this drawing takes place.

It was the most exhilarating experience of his life, even though he was still getting used to the heights and all.
He was actually thinking about eating Poising Joke all the time if this is the outcome of having it!
Though he sort of preferred the humble life on the ground. So he would still eventually take that special bath that gets rid of the affects of Poison Joke. (They might have to mix it in a swimming pool for his size.)
