Awaiting Rainbow Cloud

Chapter 2, in which day is full of fun

Silver Cloud woke up a bit grumpy. It had to be that weirdo of her sister to try to wake her before the dawn. It was enough that Dusk would fly out at night, but why would she have to wake Silver for that? Silver wasn't a night freak. Silver was a perfectly normal pegasus filly, sleeping through night and awake through the day, under Princess Celestia's sun, as everypony should.

Lovely scent of crunchy oat cookies did wonders for Silver's mood though. Her stomach rumbled. She kicked off her blanket and trotted to kitchen.

Dusk was there, wearing those freaky tinted goggles, just taking a tray of oat cookies out of oven. Silver scowled, but she couldn't stay mad. Her sister was a weirdo, but she sure could bake. Which was lucky considering her sweet tooth.

"Morning, Silver" Dusk said, a little tiredly.

"GOOD morning" Silver emphasized. Dusk rolled eyes.

"Whatever, I made oat cookies, so I guess it may be good. As for a morning" she huffed. She took a spatula to put cookies in their lunch bags for school, leaving more than enough for three ponies for breakfast. Silver grinned and ate, soon joined by her sister and aunt. After that the fillies were led to school.

Silver enjoyed flaunting her new cutie mark left and right. Both during recess and after classes, when Dusk left and went to sleep, while Silver hung out with friends.

"Oh, oh, the weather factory put some failed clouds outside!" her friend, Spring Showers, exclaimed. "We can take some to the clubhouse!"

The group snuck around the pile of clouds and selected a few. Silver Cloud shook a small one to test it, letting out a mixture of rain, snow and hail.

"Yep, definitely failed" she chuckled and helped her friends transport clouds. The clubhouse was getting cozier with every week. They were decorating it with yarn crafts, weather factory leftovers and some trinkets they collected over the moons.

"So you said your parents are expecting a new foal?" Thunder Rider asked. "This means they will be too busy to try to control you! We will be able to sneak out for longer times!"

"Oh, don't forget the snack times" Spring Showers added. "Once my little sister was born, all my parents started caring about was the baby, so they didn't even notice when I ate candy clouds instead of dinner. And when you're out, you won't get in their way."

"On the other hoof, if you are in the room with baby, and baby starts crying..."' Thunder Rider frowned. "That means biiiiig trouble. They immediately assume you're responsible."

"Only more reason to keep away" Silver assumed. The other fillies nodded in agreement.

"Oh, and you also might want to have more sleepovers at mine, Thunder's or in the clubhouse" Spring offered. "Nights get loud with new foals."

"Oh great" Silver rolled eyes. "As if Dusk waking me up wasn't enough."

"Operation Getting Clubhouse Ready For Sleepovers, start!" Thunder grinned. "Tomorrow, each of us brings pillows and blankets!"

They yelled in agreement and bumped hooves before making up the plans.
