Rahs was missing most of it, as the number of mares they passed shouting at him or whistling only went up as they progressed. As dense as the Moon Dog/ Pony could be, he could easily tell what these mares wanted, even the ones that were not blatant with their innuendo. Frankly he was ready to see if he could just fly back to Ponyville, or at least duck back into he balloon to get away from it. Still Rainbow Dash seemed excited to be showing them around, so for now he decided to simply ignore them and go along with the tour. What Rahs didn't notice, was the near constant shimmering of his sister's horn as she added a few more spells here and there on top of the ones she was already maintaining. A few mid air collisions with clouds, traffic light changes, sudden thunderbolts and down pours kept the more persistent mares away from her brother. Spike was just amused by all of it and planned to tease them both mercilessly later. “So then, don't suppose this tour includes tha weather factory. Rather curious about where somea my tax bits go.” Applejack stated. “Great idea. “ Rainbow Dash smiled. “I bet I can get us in on a tour group. They tend to offer those to school foals every so often. Should be a cinch to get one for some ground bound ponies.” “This is where they make the snowflakes.” Dash explained to the others. The group of them were all wearing hard hats and work coats and Dash's rank as head of Ponyville weather team allowed her to conduct the tour. Though the mare at the PPE supply had somehow managed to give Rahs a coat that was nearly as small as the one on Spike thus leaving him moderately uncovered as she drooled over his flank. The group had then left before the sudden swarm of living coats got more of them than just the supply mare. Of course the group of mares who had been following behind them to stare at Rahs caused more than enough issue. With their extra wings in the room the snow flake technicians were sent scrambling to catch their work as the breeze stirred up sent everything flying. The tour group left quickly, leaving Rahs' last group of followers behind to help clean up after one of the snowflake management team caught them out of their assigned areas. “And this is where they make the rainbow.” Rainbow Dash smirked. Pinkie Pie looked around skeptically as if expecting rejected pegasi or something like that before shrugging and dipping her hoof into the main pool before giving the rainbow a taste. “Hmm not soylent green, but GAHAHHH spicy!!” the mare shrieked turning a multitude of colors before running off towards the cafeteria to find milk. “Yeah, rainbows are not known for their flavor.” Dash chuckled. “There you are!!” shouted a voice. The group looked over seeing a trio of familiar stallions stomping towards them. “Ahh. I thought the stupidity quota in here had gotten low, seems somepony decided to balance it out.” Twilight dead paned. “You got a lot of nerve with that stunt you pulled.” the tan one snapped. “Is that a grammatically correct use of the word 'you'?” Spike asked. “No.” Rarity chimed in. “Youse gonna pay for that garbage you dumped on us flunkies.” the brown one growled. Rahs' long ears twitched a bit at that before he fluttered over before the brown one. “Excuse me. Not to interrupt your rampant idiocy, but did you just threaten my sister, my brother, and our friends?” Rahs asked far too calmly. “What of it freak!? I'm taking you down a peg too!” the brown one snapped. Rahs smiled at that. Now up until this point every pony had thought the poison joke turned Rahs fully into a earth pony stallion. However the brown pegasus discovered that Rahs' teeth were still very much those of a Moon Dog. Very pointy, and very sharp. Poison Joke was not often subtle with it's humor. “Oh buck....” was all the tan one managed before the transformed Moon Dog reacted to their threat. “Well so much for the weather factory tour.” Applejack sighed as the group walked along the cloud made streets of the city. “Ehh it's fine. That was nearly the whole thing any way. All you missed out on was the rain room and they haven’t pulled the water up just yet anyway, so nothings going on there.” Dash shrugged. “We still have time to catch a bite to eat before the competition.” “Perhaps that will calm Fluttershy down?” Rarity asked as she glanced back at the yellow mare sitting on Pinkie Pie's back hiding completely in her mane. “It wasn't even that bad.” Spike rolled his eyes. “Nothings broken and they weren't even bleeding. Granted they are rainbow colored now....” “Fluttershy's very sensitive.” Pinkie Pie explained. “Plus, even I want to forget that fight. I mean he was hitting that one guy... with the OTHER guy!” “Rahs had leverage.” Twilight shrugged.”Plus you were the one who was yelling at him to stop hitting himself when Rahs got a hold of his tail.” Rahs flitted along behind them simply grinning wider, he was feeling a great deal better about this trip after the second encounter with the bullies allowed him to work off some built up aggression. Behind the group however the size of Rahs followers had spread to nearly every single mare who was nearby and the numbers were growing as the group walked along. Being a former warrior race and watching one pony trounce three others, two of them larger than he was, jump started quite a number of pegasi mares new obsessions in the odd Pegasus. Spike narrowed his eyes looking across the counter. The cream colored pony pegasus stallion with brown hair, green eyes, and a pink frosted doughnut cutie mark looked back a bit nervously under the dragon's scrutiny. The massive horde of mares outside didn't help either. The others had gotten their food and moved to the table they picked out, though Spike was staring at the shopkeeper, who was doing his best to try not to look worried about holding the purple drake's attention. “A pegasus.... huh? Joe.. huh?” Spike stated. “Errr yeah … all my life.” Pony Joe muttered starting to feel a little ill. “Never been to Canterlot huh?” Spike frowned. “Can't say I have.......” Joe offered glancing at all the ponies plastered to the windows, taking note of a few stallions who were staring in now too. “Yet you knew I wanted extra sprinkles.......” Spike growled. “You don't?” Joe chuckled. Spike took his doughnut looking up at the stallion. “I'm onto you Joe.......” Spike accused, pointing to his eyes then at the pony before backing away to the table. “Who'd have thought there was a Pony Joe's in Cloudsdale too.” Twilight offered trying to ignore the fact that Rahs had discovered the true taste of doughnuts nearby and had promptly started to try and clean out Joe's inventory.
