“Hey Twi.”

Twilight Sparkle looked over to the voice, her face breaking into a smile as she saw Rainbow Dash hovering just next to the balcony.

“Hey Rainbow.”

Twilight glanced up, any hint of the open sky above had been hidden by a thick layer of clouds, dusky grey and blown about by an ominous wind. Rainbow had spoken about this before, the Great Storm which only happened once every two years. Rainbow had explained it to her a few nights ago, apparently the normal occasional storms that were scheduled by the weather team weren’t actually that efficient.

There was always some rain left over after the very occasional storms and it was always being joined by the water cycle, sending more vapour skywards. As if that wasn’t enough, they also had to deal with a fair amount of cloud from the Everfree drifting across into Equestria…

It all added up to the Great Storm.

She shivered slightly as the wind blew its chilly tune into every nook and cranny that it could reach, the storm wasn’t going to start for another few minutes, but that didn’t stop the atmosphere from making it suitably spooky.

A few moments after the gust passed her by, she heard a muted thud and felt, rather than saw Rainbow sit next to her. Twilight leant gratefully against the warm pegasus, who was more than willing to wrap her friend up in one of her wings.

Neither of them said anything, neither of them did anything.

They simply revelled in the calm before the storm.
