//------------------------------// // Weather // Story: Project Celestia // by decembuary //------------------------------// A few weeks later Sun Glow was settling in nicely. She had already started to help around the tree castle. It was normal for her to be seen running over the rope bridges and playing all sorts of games with the few kids around New Equestria. Everyday had started running on a schedule. Wake up. Eat. Play with Sunny. Eat. Visit town. Eat. Sleep. Soon the only noticeable difference between the days was the temperature dropping. It dropped by a few degrees every day. I really must talk to Cumulous about the weather. With that goal in mind, I set off in the direction of his cloud house. After a few minutes I arrived at my destination. I walked up to the door and knocked on it. Even after over a month being able to walk on clouds, it still never stopped surprising me that a cloud door made the same sounds as a normal door. I still knocked on it carefully to stop my hoof from going through the cloud. Nopony answered my knocks. To see if anyone was home, I snuck round the house to the window. I peeked through it. There was nopony inside. “Hey! Stop that! Didn’t anypony teach you not to spy on other ponies?” Cumulous’s teasing voice made me jump. “Oh there you are. I was looking for you” I replied, deciding not to answer to his bad joke. “Why were you looking for me? Wait, let me guess. You want me to teach your sister to fly?” “No. Are you offering?” “Might as well. I bet she’ll be a better flier than you.” The blue pegasus said. “Hey! That’s not fair, she’s younger than me, she’ll learn faster than me!” I said “Anyway, onto more serious business. As much as I love your joking around, this is very important” “Aw. So whats this very important business?” “Well, you may have noticed that the days are getting shorter, and colder” I explained “So what?” “Well, a few weeks ago when Celestia was staying, she mentioned that winter was coming, and we needed to decide on whether we wanted to control the weather by magic, or pegasi” Cumulous nodded. “That makes sense. I think I’d prefer it if pegasus controlled the weather. Anyway, the pegasi around here are pretty lazy, it’d do them good to have some sort of job. Which reminds me, you remember The Wonderbolts back in Equestria?” “Yeah, why?” “Well, I was thinking it would be a good idea to have something sort of similar around here” He explained “That is a good idea! It would give the younger pegasus somepony to admire, and it would give the older pegasus something to work towards.” I said “Yup. Can I start it? Please? I could call it the LightningBolts, and Shadow could help make some awesome uniforms. We could perform at all the special events and everything” “Well, it sounds like you already have it all sorted out. I’ll leave you to organize it. But, before you start anything, you need to sort out a weather patrol, and plan a Winter Wrap Up” “On it boss” Said the blue pegasus giving an exaggerated salute. I flew off to tell Sun Glow about the plan. And that she was going to have flying lessons. To tell the truth, I was incredibly excited about the aerial team. Cumulous’ idea was definitely a good one.
