// On the Clouds 
// Story: Cloud Clearing 
// by CocoaPone 
//------------------------------//

It was a calm cloudy day in Equestria… wait a minute.. CLOUDS?? Rainbow Dash looked up and saw how many clouds there actually were, usually she could skip a day and still be able to clear all of them up the next day, but that wasn't the case today. 
“You clouds want a piece of me!?” she yelled, and with that charged at the nearest cloud. She kicked it directly in the center causing it to magically vaporize in that special my little pony way. She then moved onto the next cloud and to the next and soon before she knew it, the sky was all clear again. Rainbow Dash paused for a moment while she caught her breath.
“Ten… Seconds.. Flat..” She gasped then collapsed onto the ground breathing heavily. I really need to get back in shape for clearing skies, she thought to herself. Rainbow Dash stood up then flew to her house in the sky. Then from there she tore off a piece of the cloud that her house rested on and grabbed the latest Daring Do book. Rainbow Dash pushed the small part of the cloud she tore off into a nice clear area of the sky and began to read. She didn't care if people called her an egg head for reading because Daring Do was just so AWESOME! Just like her. She smiled to herself and continued reading. 

Meanwhile back on the grounds on Ponyville, Apple Jack was doing some apple bucking, she was pretty strong for a pony and was a great worker. She loved the sound of the apples falling into the baskets so precisely placed below that not a single apple ever fell out of them.
“Hey Big Macintosh could ya get these baskets for me?” she yelled “I think a storm is brewing.” 
Apple Jack never did look up at the sky, but she could tell that the sky was getting darker, everything in fact was getting darker. It was as plain as day, but that was unusual. Rainbow Dash usually had the skies all clear by now. Big Macintosh appeared next to her and began to pick up the baskets.
“I reckon Rainbow Dash has been slacking off recently, didn't the skies used to be clear every day?” Apple Jack said while bucking another apple tree.
	
“Eeyup” replied Big Macintosh
Quickly they gathered all the baskets and brought them into the barn. Then they looked up and saw the sky become unusually dark.

“I sure hope Rainbow cleans these up quickly…”
	
“Eeyup”

Rainbow Dash suddenly awoke to the crack of thunder, she hadn't realized that she fell asleep. Instantly she saw the whole sky was covered and all the clouds were a dark gray color, almost blackish, even her little cloud had changed into a storm cloud. From where she was on top of the clouds PonyVille wasn't even visible. 
“Oh no.. what have I done??!” She shrieked “Ive let he whole sky fill up and now theres a big storm!!” She said answering her own question. Then she tore a hole in the cloud she was on and looked down below. All the ponies were running around in fear but once they saw Rainbow Dash they instantly became angry.
“RAINBOW DASH FIX THIS RIGHT NOW!” They all yelled.
Rainbow Dash slowly backed away into the clouds and sat there in fear. I have to fix this… but how..? Then she looked over at her cutie mark, suddenly her eyes grew big and she remembered.
“I.. Am.. the BEST flyer in all of Equestria!” 
She jumped up and began to vaporize all the clouds in an instant, all the ponies down below watched in amazement. They all knew she was fast and was good at clearing the skies, but now? She was a million times faster, and better.
Then she remembered her book, where had it been? She looked around and saw that it was quickly falling to the Earth.
“Time for phase three..” She grinned remembering her performance in Cloudsdale. And with that she was off slowly gaining speed, faster and faster she went. Then she felt the resistance coming from the atmosphere, she went even faster and soon the sound barrier began to break.
“Just.. A little.. More..” she gasped.
She could feel the barrier breaking, and soon she would have done her third sonic rainboom. The book was straight ahead of her, nearly inches away from her face. She went a little faster and grabbed it.
“YESSS” she cried.
Then she remembered that she had stopped gaining speed, and was instantly launched backwards towards Twilights library.

Twilight was in her library organizing books as she always happened to do before Rainbow Dash crashed in. She was hesitant about putting the last book in, she could feel something was going to happen, after all there was a huge storm today so who knows what would happen next.
“Um.. Spike? Could you put this book back for me?” Twilight asked.
She waited for a moment for Spike to come over and get the book. The she turned around and saw him sleeping peacefully on his bed.
“Ughh fine.” She said and with that put the last book in place.
But at that very instant, Rainbow Dash came crashing into the window. Everything became slow motion from there.
“NOOOOOOO” Twilight cried in slow motion.
Then reality came and she looked from the cloud of dust and saw all her books on the floor.
Rainbow Dash laid on the floor laughing and hugging her book.
“RAINBOW DASH!!” 
Rainbow Dash looked up for a moment and saw Twilight looking down at her, her face was all distorted and appeared to be angry.
“Twilight you should see the look on your face!” She said and began to laugh even more.
Then she realized that Twilight hadn't moved, she stood there looking down at Rainbow. Then Twilight pointed at all the books all over the floor. 
“Oh uh.. sorry about that Twi” she neverously said “Maybe I should go and uh.. find some pony to help clean this.”
Twilight still didn't move.
“Fineeee, ill help you” 
Then together they began to clean up the library, which concludes another day in Equestria.
