Storm's large hippogriff wings made hard, steady flaps against the air. Her muscles strained and her brow furrowed in concentration. Why did I have to order so much wood at once? She thought to herself, annoyed at her poor judgement. She looked up with hopes that the city would be close. Drat! she thought angrily, still so far away! "Bolt! Almost there, we can do it!" she called out in encouragement to her flapping fellow anyways.

Mighty air currents were made from their flapping and the cart was moving fairly quick to their destination. Each down beat of their wings propelled them upwards and made the cart emit an angry creak. A small bow in the bottom began to form. The cart wasn't designed for such heavy loads to be lifted vertically with very little pressure being placed on the wheels and axle. Noticing this problem, Storm reassessed their distance. They were inching their way ever closer to Cloudsdale, and the ground below seemed a forever's fall further. Shouldn't be a problem... we can make it.

A thin spiderweb of cracks began to form at the lowest point of the bulge, suggesting that the weight of the wood coupled with the upward momentum was too much for the simple cart to bear. Refuge was not far away, however, and the two ponies soon reached Cloudsdale and rested the cart on the cloud. The wheels sunk through, but the rest remained afloat due to the pegasus magic of the city (not sure how this actually works....). Not far from the shop, it took very little time and effort to get it the last few feet of the way there. Once in place, Storm slouched against the cart and wiped the sweat from her brow. That was far too close was her primary thought on the subject. Next time she would have to use another cart or pack less wood... "Bolt... We made it." A small groan, "Thanks, I couldn't have done it without you."
