//------------------------------// // 'Shocking' Revelations // Story: The Electric Medley // by Fandom Trash Snivy //------------------------------// Sassaflash and her friends were in the Cloudsdale Weather Factory's meeting room with Lightning Dust. Cloudchaser had her wings bandaged. She tried to fold them in properly, but she yelped. "Ouch!" "Don't worry, Cloudchaser," reassured Flitter. "Just keep them open for as long as you like. When you want to try again with folding your wings properly, you could give it another try." "Thanks Flitter," replied Cloudchaser. Cumulo Nimbus walked into the meeting room. "You've gotten enough support already, it seems. You still have three weeks left to convince other ponies." "We're already ready," Sassaflash told him. "Lightning Dust here apologized for everything she has done." "I'm sorry..." whimpered a sorry Lightning Dust. "I'll send in the other Cloudsdale Weather Factory employees," Cumulo Nimbus told Sassaflash and her friends. A few minutes later, everypony was in their seats. Cumulo Nimbus cleared his throat: "We are here to discuss who really stole the-" "It was Lightning Dust!" Tea Leaf shouted. Ponies all around Tea Leaf hushed her. Cumulo Nimbus glanced at the audience, then he glanced back down at the paper he had written. "We are here to discuss who really stole the electric division's machines. However, it is three weeks too early. But, as the boss of the Cloudsdale Weather Factory, I am free to make any decisions. It seems that more ponies have agreed that Sassaflash and her friends are innocent. Is this true, Sassaflash?" Cumulo Nimbus glanced at Sassaflash, who was sitting in her desk. "Lightning Dust apologized to us earlier today in an alley that she stole the machines." "Very well then. Lightning Dust, you are guilty of stealing the electric division's machines." Lightning Dust hung her head in shame. Suddenly, Cumulo Nimbus cleared his throat and told her: "However, I am not the boss of everything. You will get to choose your punishment." "I want to be in the Junior Speedsters until I have learned my lesson," Lightning Dust told Cumulo Nimbus. "Very well then," he replied. "I will tell the instructor of the Junior Speedsters to enroll you in their class until you have learned your lesson. We will replace the electric division's machines eventually. Everypony, you may leave." As everypony started to leave, Cumulo Nimbus stood beside Sassaflash. "You were very brave for stating what you have seen." "Thanks boss," replied Sassaflash. Cumulo Nimbus then turned to Lightning Dust. "Are you ready to be in the Junior Speedsters?" "I accept my punishment," a saddened Lightning Dust replied. "May the Grand Galloping Gala go on!" Cumulo Nimbus bravely spoke.
