//------------------------------// // The Weather Queen // Story: Itty-Bitty Bite Size Stories // by gallagsp the corgi //------------------------------// Wind whipped through everypony's manes as they stood on the outskirts of Ponyville, they watched the dark sky nervously, the menacing looking clouds threatening to unleash their pent-up rain and lightning any moment now. This storm was going to be a bad one, not just because of its severity, but also because it was unplanned. The storm had rolled in from the Everfree forest, a region that played by its own rules. The ponies watched the clouds for any sign of Rainbow Dash, or the rest of the weather team, who had been dispatched to break up the dangerous storm before it could cause any damage. They had been gone for an hour already, having flown straight into the storm. Suddenly, the sky lit up with lightning and thunder cracked. The ponies looked up and saw something falling toward the ground. It was a pony. Twilight acted quickly and used her magic to slow the pony's fall. Raindrops was unconscious, but she woke when Twilight shook her. "What's going on?" Twilight said. "Are you okay? Where are the others?" "Something was in the storm." Raindrops said, shakily standing up. "It attacked Rainbow Dash, then she attacked everypony else. Something happened to her." The others looked to each other in confusion, then a chunk of clouds started to spiral down to the ground. The others saw that Rainbow Dash was riding it. "Rainbow, what's going on? Can't you control this weather?" Rainbow Dash looked to the others, her eyes glowing white. She approached them, her hoofsteps sounding like thunder, electric sparks shot from her body and into the ground. She grinned at the others. "Is that any way to talk to a queen?" "Rainbow, what are you talking about? What's happening?" "Rainbow Dash isn't here, There is only Queen Nimbus." "Who? And what does this have to do with the weather?" "I... AM... the weather!" Dash yelled, thunder booming and amplifying her voice. "And you will show me the respect I deserve!" "Twilight..." Fluttershy whispered. "I think we should run..." "Good idea... everypony else in?" "Yup." they all said simultaneously. "Spike, let the princess know that Rainbow Dash has been possessed again, please." Twilight said. "Wait, what do you mean 'again'?" Raindrops said, trying her best to keep up with the group as lighting fried the ground around them. Rainbow Dash chased the group, surfing on a cloud and shooting all sorts of weather at them, laughing evilly the whole way. Yup, just a regular Tuesday.
