	Derpy opened her eyes. She was back in the hotel. She sat up and rubbed her eyes.
"What happened?"
"You saved us." said a voice.
Derpy looked over and saw Sweetie Belle standing with Rarity.
"It was nothing." said Derpy, groggily.
"Nothing?" asked Rarity. "You saved my sister and her friends. You're a hero."
"A... hero?" Derpy asked.
Celestia entered the room and stood beside Derpy's bed. Derpy looked up at her as she knelt down. Rarity and Sweetie Belle left the room.
"That was a very brave thing you did today." she said kindly. "You've really shown you have what it takes to be fighting alongside us when the time comes."
Derpy's eyes lit up. She was living her dream of being noticed and appreciated. It's all she ever wanted. For once she wasn't a klutz.
"However..." Celestia continued. Derpy left the realm of her imagination and returned her focus to the princess. "you used your powers in anger. We can't have that happening every time."
"That wasn't the only reason, princess." said Derpy quickly. "I did it because they were also threatening my friends."
Celestia smiled. "Still... we should help you improve your ability so you'll be able to use it in battle."
Derpy gave her a smile.


	Twilight and Trixie stood outside the hotel and watched Celestia train Derpy.
"All right, Derpy." said Celestia. "Every pegasus has the power to control the weather and move the clouds. In order to use this as a weapon, you must concentrate hard."
Derpy closed her eyes and dark clouds started to form above her head. They didn't last long, however. They soon dissipated.
"Concentrate harder." Celestia urged.
Derpy closed her eyes and concentrated. Rainbow Dash exited the hotel and stood next to Twilight.
"What's going on?" she asked.
"Celestia's training Derpy." Twilight responded.
Derpy closed her eyes tightly and grunted with effort. She let out along groan as clouds swirled above her head. The soon puffed away into nothing. Celestia let out a sigh and approached Derpy.
"What's wrong?" she asked. "You did so good earlier."
"That's because I had something I was fighting for." Derpy answered.
A light bulb went off inside Celestia's head.
"I got it." she said. "Derpy. When you're concentrating, think of the moment when those fillies were in danger." Derpy closed her eyes and thought. "Think about your friends!" Celestia yelled over the rushing wind. She took a couple steps back as storm clouds swirled overhead. "Think about how you must succeed or your friends will fall!" Derpy let out a long grunt as thunder boomed in the sky.


	Luna stood at the steps of her castle and observed the storm clouds in the distance. She narrowed her eyes, having an idea what was going on.


	"Concentrate, Derpy!" yelled Twilight. "You can do it!"
Derpy let out a yell as lightning shot down from the sky, striking the ground near Celestia's hooves. She quickly backed away. Twilight, Trixie, and Rainbow Dash darted back inside the hotel.


	Luna continued to stare with narrowed eyes at what was transpiring over in Manehattan. A shadow pony walked up and stood next to her.
"Something wrong, your Highness?" she asked.
"Those aren't my storm clouds." said Luna, turning and walking away. The shadow pony continued to watch the storm. "Looks like I'll have to take matters into my own hooves once again." Luna said, heading into Canterlot.


	Derpy sat in the streets of Manehattan, exhausted. Celestia and the other three approached her. The ground all around her had been fried with lightning.
"Uh, Derpy?" asked Trixie.
"Yeah?"
"Your tail's on fire."
Derpy looked behind her and saw a tiny flame on her tail. A storm cloud formed above her tail and rain started to fall from it. The fore was extinguished and the cloud evaporated.
"You did it." said Celestia.
"Did what?" asked Derpy, getting up on all fours.
"You have unlocked your powers."
"Me next." Rainbow Dash said loudly.
Celestia smiled. "Guess I should teach all the pegasi this ability."
Rainbow Dash grinned with excitement.
"Now be careful, Derpy." said Trixie. "Don't go setting buildings on fire."
"Huh?" Derpy asked, almost insulted.
"She's right, Derpy." said Twilight. "you have to be careful now."
"I'm always careful." said Derpy, walking away.
Rainbow Dash and Twilight shot each other a look. Derpy? Careful? Yeah, right. This was gonna be an adventure of a lifetime.
