Actions have repercussions, and Trixie wants to make sure certain negative ones don't come through.

Takes place between chapters 4 and 5 of Griffin Over The Line, loosely set in RainbowDoubleDash's Lunaverse.

Just because a city flew in the sky did not mean it would escape Tirek's endless hunger for power, as the cloud city was soon to learn. It was in the chaos of his attack that Cloudsdale came to realize that magic is more important for some ponies than for others.

For instance, the pegasi needed it to walk on clouds.

And to fly.

For a father separated from his daughter, that flight is more important than ever.
