I try my best to block out the screams, but there haunting me in my dreams... the statement had never been as true to Storm Twist. After he closed his purple eyes every night, he lived his past again. The flight test, the bus, the only one being in the dark room. The pain in his wings that haunted him forever. But no one cared. He was alone.  A shiver crept under the soft blanket and he for warmth he snuggled closer to Spark. She let out a  sigh of relief when he came closer, as she was rather chilly too. They snuggled close, and they each closed their eyes.

Now, Spark seemed to have trouble falling asleep, so he decided that he may be able to show her how he got his cutie mark.  "Stars and moons and air balloons, fluffy clouds to the horizon.." But instead the opened her eyes. Thoose green eyes sparkled with admaration. "I love your voice" she said softly. 

His purple eyes spread wide, reavling crystalizied  eyes. Her eyes widended even more. "Your from Crystal Empire!?" She cried.  He blushed, then said," Yeah. But I live in Cloudsdale" he said humbly. He sighed. "Would you like to hear my story ?" Her eyes fell back and she became serious again

. "Sure." He tookbin a breath and began. "I used to be as blue as the night. I used to fly all the way to Luna's moon. My life was amazing. I had a family who loved me and sister who helped me. Eventully the flight test came. My sister did fine as all the rest, and I was the last one on the field, and my wings wouldn't listen. They would only open once... And I failed my test. They put me in a van, and took me to the Factory. I was the only one there... And Rainbow Dash grabbed me. She put me on a belt, but the device was screwed up. The extractors swung down and drained my blue. She was angrey and toore my wings opend. She ripped out bones and twisted my joints." He stopped .

Spark was crying. She hugged him and game him a smile. "I don't care about that. You are amazing, even if you can't fly."
"I'll tell you a secret" he said, giggling. "I have a crush on your mom." Spark broke out laughing and planted a kiss on his cheek. He blushed and his wings pomphed. "Ohh... I see where this is going" Spark pointed out. 

No sleep happend that night. They regreted it during training, but oh was it worth it. After lunch they were paired into leads and wings. Storm was lead, and Spark was wing. She smiled at her Coltfriend and gave him a shove with her wing. He tripped at the friction and fell on his face. Spark fell in to a fit of laughter. "Aw man, I love you Stormy!" She cried with joy. She ran over and kissed him full on. This was his first love. And it was amazing

Spectra and Dash stood at Cloudsdale Weather Corps. Rainbow was passing ponies in suits a paper with Storm's info on it. "Find me this stallion and extract his spectra, or you will be on my conveyors. Got it!?" Dash said to the ponies. They nodded and took the papers. The placed them in a file labeled "S" and walked through a door. Dash smiled evilly. 
Storm Twist might as well be planning a funereal. 

Storm Twist sat on a cloud writing music alone. A yellow, green and cream mare flew past with  Spectra Flame. He payed them no mind as he finished a song. The Rainbow Factory
Seemed a good name. The tune came fast. Dun dum dun dun danna da. He put the lyrics. It fit to it well. He smiled. He twisted his torso to see his mark. It was a tornado with a blue treble clef in it. He smiled, and his coat flickered. It was become crystalizied.

Spitfire looked into the mirror.  She couldn't do this any more. She figured she could might as well use her wings for the last time. She flew through her cloud house to her kitchen. She closed her wings, her hooves clopping ontu the tile. She reached for the knob on the silverwear drawer. She pulled and grabbed a sharp bucher knife. She grabed her left wing in her mouth and raised the knife above the base. She heaved it down with a mighty chop. The feather yellow growth fell onto the ground with a muffled thud. She grabbed her right wing and chopped down on the base. She won't have to worry about it anymore. She was and earth pony now.
