Puffy Cutie Cloud.
By Akemi Shikima
There she was! If you focus your view a little, you can see the colorful tail hanging on the edge of a cloud. That's where she is, Rainbow "I'm so bored" Dash.
It was a REALLY boring day in Ponyville, the same old houses, same old ponies, and no weather work for today. Yeah, what a productive day this is.
"Say that to me, sister... Ugh..." Dash rolled over, now her back was on the cloud while she faced the sky, her tail was hanging still, just like the rest of her, and with such a grumpy face...
"I got it, this IS boring. You don't have to describe it to tell how LAME it is."
Well, if you think that's lame, why don't you do something interesting for a change?
"Come again?" Her head poked up of the cloud "You are conscious that I'm lying on a cloud, alone, on a heat-to-death day, right?"
You ARE a pegasus, you ALWAYS want everyone's attention, so make my day and do something!
"Fine, fine! Geez... somepony needs a nap, aside of me, that is..." She got on her hooves and stirred like a cat, then, she sat on her haunches "Watcha want me to do?"
She... wait. ME?! I'm just the narrator!
"Yeah, so that means you're the boss, boss..."
And to make it worse, you make it look like if it was easy to do!
"It is. Well, it is, unless you think you can't do it. Let's face it, Kim, you're a bit rusty since you last-time wrote something, hehehe..."
*Blushes and shivers* S-shut it, Dash!
"Bwahahahaha..."
... Is she laughing at me? That's just great...
OK you, funny queen of the huge ego, now that, at last, you decided to get up, let's go to work, why don't you humor me and the audience here: you're on a cloud right now, isn't it? So let's play a little shape-game.
Try to shape the fluffy ball you're sitting on into something more interesting.
"Mneh, that's boring...."
In other words, you can't, don't you?
"... Oh, you-are-so-on!"
Well, prove it then.
"On it!" *With some pats and moves of her hooves here and there, and tongue always hanging out at the side of her mouth, Dash works part of her cloud to change its shape, like someone working on a crafting table.* "Tah-dah!"
Huhh... what's that?
"It's a parasprite."
Proud of ourselves, aren't we?
"Hey! What's that sarcastic tone supposed to mean?"
Dash, that is just a cloud-ball, not a parasprite.
"It lost its wings, duh!"
And so did the eyes and little feet too.
"You don't even know how they look like!"
Hmmh... *Draws a parasprite at Dash's side* something like that?
"Eep!" *Jumps and hides on the cloud* Erase it! Erase it, NOW!
Ok, ok! Sigh~, you need to relax, girl.
*Pokes her head out of the cloud* "Smarty pants..."
Well, we are on a tie, so, let's just try again, shall we?
"Fine~" *With new puffs and pats, she welcomes a new shape* "Cloud-bunny! You like it?"
It's adorable!
"Heheh, knew it; that's a classic on flight school."
Well, you got a point to your favor, now, let's hit it a notch, ok?
"You want an ordeal of bunnies?"
Even if that would look adorable to no end, no. Let's see... why don't you try to do the first thing that crosses your mind?
"... O-ok..." *After a heavy blush, and thirty minutes of yet more cloud shaping, she finishes her masterpiece.*
Wow, I, uhm... ok, I REALLY wasn't expecting, well, that one.
"What? Did I do wrong? I didn't forget something, did I? There's no way I could have forget..." *Blushes a little*
Oh no, no! You did just perfect, it's just that is a rather impressive and perfect cloud-sculpture of Twilight, but now that just started a storm of questions on my head, that I choose to stick with the OBVIOUS one: why Twilight?
"Well, I... ahm... c-can I tell you something?"
Sure thing.
"But, you don't say a word, right? I mean, how many "audience" are we talkin' 'bout?"
Mneh, right now, it's just me, my dog, and my four cats, so go ahead, I'm not that popular around here anyway, now that if you want a real public show, I can always launch this on DeviantArt...
"No, no! Thanks, for the offer, I mean, but no, I'll just have to pass on that by now. I'm cool being just the seven of us."
Well then, what did you wanna tell me?
"I'm a... I might have a teensy weensy crush on, Twilight..."
*Arches an eyebrow* Seriously?
"OK! I DO have a massive crush on the princess egghead, happy?!... I'm always makin' cloud-shaped Twilights to cuddle with them when I'm reading alone on my cloud-house, or to hug them at night when I go to sleep... sounds lame, isn't it?"
Nah, I think that's kind of cute, and cool too, I mean, you have some talent here; look at your work, your Twicloud looks awesome!
"T-thanks..." *Crimson blush appears*
Well, wanna try something else? But you need to say good bye to your cute cloudy friend first.
"Ok... Bye, Twily Cloud..." *She leans forward to kiss her cloud friend on the lips, closed eyes and intense blush on her face, hooves up, pressed to her chest.*
Ahm, Dash... Dash... Hey Dash!
"What?!"
"Rainbow Dash? What are you doing there?" *Rainbow's eyes open at full, after she hears the soft voice*
"Guh... T-T-Twilight! I-ah..." *flicks her tail to destroy Twily Cloud*
*Giggling softly* "Sorry I startled you. I was just wondering, maybe, if you're not too busy that is, would you like to come to the library with me, to have some cake with orange juice, and maybe read some books, together?" *She blushes a little*
"Sure thing, Twi!"
"Perfect! May we go now?"
"I'm right behind you, Twi!" *Twilight flies away*
What? Why are you looking at me like that?
"Did you do something, to her?"
You mean if I altered her feelings? *Dash nods with a concerned expression* Then the answer is no; I just gave her some Daring Do books I wrote myself, Rosetta involved, if you get the hint, the rest is up to you two.
*A wide grin appears on her face* "Oh thank you, thank you, THANK YOU! I owe you big time for this!"
Don't mention it, it was my pleasure, besides, you accepted to play with me in the end, and even shared your secret, which I'm glad to help with. Now, go get that alicorn, Dash!
"Oh, sure I will. Thanks and see ya, Kim!" *She flies out of sight*
Well, now that she's gone, let's go get a snack and play some more.
Someone wanna join me?...
The End...?
