Rainbow Dash was asleep on a cloud. It was a cumulonimbus. White in color, as they often are.

Halfway through Rainbow Dash's nap, at about 11:35AM, it started to rain, lightly. Drizzle wasn't quite right, but cats and dogs were also out of the picture. Rainbow Dash's mane went from spiky and standing out to slicked back and water-dark in a matter of a few minutes. Her snoring continued as the rain clouds began to part.

12:03PM, Rainbow Dash grunted and spun in her cloud, kicking a chunk of the puffy mass out into the air, where it dissipated into smaller and smaller fragments before eventually vanishing completely into the nothing-esque mechanics of separation at an atomic level. Rainbow Dash opened her mouth and began to snore loudly.

2:47PM. Rainbow Dash is delivered a piece of mail by Derpy, who, despite her reputation for clumsiness, seems to know how to track down any pony in Ponyville regardless of where they might usually be. Rainbow Dash's head was in the clouds more often than not, but her body might be somewhere else entirely, and Derpy seemed to be the only one poofy-headed enough to outsmart the lackadaisical Wonderbolt. Derpy smiled and left the small pile of fan-mail Rainbow Dash had received next to her cloudy pillow. Rainbow Dash snorted and turned, dislodging the pile, and Derpy took the time to straighten it out for her before flying off to her next job.

"Mmm... Soarin', you made such a good apple pie..." Rainbow Dash murmured to herself and licked her lips as she turned in her cloud, wrapping the layers of cotton-candy like strands around her body, nestled into a soft, rainy shell above the citizens of Ponyville.

4:23PM. Rainbow Dash's nose is prickled slightly by the aroma of a passing pony's lit 'cigarette'. She smiles softly to herself and imagines kicking a giant pineapple into the sun. The explosion would have been blinding, had it taken place in real life.

7:33PM. The local time is seven-thirty-three. Everypony's super happy. Everypony's super happy. Seven-thirty-three, PM.

10:11PM. Rainbow Dash wakes up, looks around for her clock, can't find one. Notices it's dark. Goes back to sleep, yawning loudly.

12:00AM. Midnight. Rainbow Dash is sleeping.

3:57AM. Rainbow Dash wakes up.

3:59AM. Rainbow Dash goes back to sleep.

What... you thought there was going to be more here?
