“So, what exactly do you want me to do?”

A smile widened across Rainbow’s face as she jumped up from where she lay and flew over to you.



“It’s really simple, just clear them out like this,” said Rainbow Dash as she flew through a cloud and popping it as though it were a balloon.
She flew faster and cleared away more clouds before she stopped and looked at you.
“Just like that,” she said as she called back to you.

A smile spreads across your face as you realize: punching clouds is a job you could really get behind.

You take off flapping your wings as fast as you can, though you notice your speed doesn’t even begin to compare to that of Rainbow Dash.

It isn’t long before you look around and realize that there are no more clouds to clear. You sigh with exhaustion as Rainbow makes her way towards you. She doesn’t even look tired, how can she do this by herself?

“Not bad for your first time, your speed was a bit slow but not everyone pony can be as fast as me,” Rainbow teased.



As the sun was beginning to set you remember that you still don’t have a place to stay for the night.
You inform Rainbow Dash and ask if she can tell you where you could find a place to own.

“The Mayor takes care of residents and homes in Ponyville, but the Town Hall won’t be open until tomorrow morning,” she tells you.

You than ask if there are any hotels that may have open rooms that you can stay in for the night.

“Nah, all the hotels are booked right now because of the Grand Galloping Gala. Even though it’s a week away, a lot of ponies from out of town reserve rooms in advance,”

You face hoof yourself.

How could you have forgotten the Grand Galloping Gala was this week?

Though you’ve never been, you’ve heard ponies talk about how amazing it is every year. Guess it really is that big of a deal huh?

You let out a sigh of defeat and collapse on the remains of some clouds you missed. Though it’s a bit small the pieces of leftover cloud are actually pretty comfortable. Maybe you can sleep here for the night?

“Hey, Anon, if you really have no place to stay tonight,” Rainbow began as she placed a hoof behind her head nervously.
“I know of a place you can stay, I mean, if it’s just for tonight,”

Could it be?

Is it possible that she’s inviting you to stay with her for the night?

What will you do?

Accept her offer.
