Prism flapped his wings as fast as he could get them, flying from Cloudsdale over WhiteTail Woods, Solstice Heights and the outskirts of the foothills, he needed help! An unexpected cloud had drifted from the edge of the Everfree Forest and was drifting towards Ponyville! Gradually getting bigger and bigger as it went by! The male Pegasus was a streak of rainbow as he tried to head it off, but it was too large for just one Pegasus to bust!

"Help! Any Pegasi capable in the area! Help!" He called out, zooming around the town, the woods, trying to get aid "It's heading for Ponyville and I can't stop it Solo!"

(Please do not have your character bust the cloud, I'd like it if it became a growing problem that requires team work)

"faster, Faster." Song pushed herself. She was late for a concert near Ponyville and she'd slept in. Her mom (being an earth pony) had said she'd catch a train and meet her there. She'd done this numerous times before so she knew her mom wouldn't worry to much. She was taking a shortcut through Whitetail Wood when she heard somepony yelling for help from any and all pegesi. "why today?!" she asked herself and flew towards the cause of the noise.

"Help! Any Pegasi capable in the area! Help! It's heading for Ponyville and I can't stop it Solo!"

The sky blue pegasus' ears perked up to the call for help. Flourish had just finished her assignments for the day and was about to fly home for the day. She had big plans of rewarding herself for another job well done with a day of relaxing and generally laying about. Her teammates wouldn't be home as they had been assigned to Manehatten on a big cloud writing project. That left the whole barracks to herself! Oh well, relaxing would have to wait. Answering this call for help was much more important!

"I'm coming! I want to help!" Flourish beat her wings as fast as she could, picking up speed and flying towards the streak of rainbow she thought the voice was coming from. As she flew she saw a bright pink pegasus flying in the same direction.

"Hey Song! Not what I was planning for my day, but that cloud doesn't look good! I'm glad you're here to help!"

She swooped in near Song as they continued flying towards the pegasus making the rainbow streak.

She smiled at her friend. But it faded as she had got into view of the cloud. "Hey. Me neither. I'm going to miss a concert but whatever. This is more important. " she said. " So how you been?" She asked her. Gah. She wasn't the best flyer and shew didn't know If'd she could do much to help. but she would try. besides if it was heading for Ponyville and who knows what it could do then the concert would most likely be evacuated anyway for everypony's safety.

Back in the town of Ponyville, the young mare on weather watch today happened to be none other than its electrical weather specialist first class, Derpy Hooves. Scanning the skies with her binoculars, Derpy looked for any signs of unauthorized storm systems heading Ponyville’s way. One formation off to the rest caught her attention, heading from the Everfree Forest. Would it hit the town? ........Nah; all the other storms lately swept northwards. It’s not like this mean ole’ cloud wouldn’t do the same, right?

What did catch Derpy’s attention however was the sight of three pegasi flying around the storm. From the young mare’s vantage point, it looked like Rainbow Dash was one of the ponies already there, although her flying looked very sluggish compared to usual. The other two pegasi looked completely unfamiliar, meaning they weren’t on the Ponyville Weather Team, let alone properly trained electrical weather specialists like Miss Hooves was!

Sensing a need for her presence, Derpy flew away from her post towards the storm in question. Upon getting close enough to see that the rainbow pegasus was actually Rainbow’s dad, the googly-eyed mare shouted a warning for all to hear; “Hey you guys!!! You shouldn’t be hanging around potential thunderstorms unless you’ve licensed in handling electric weather!” Surely the others will heed her unquestionably expert opinion.....

"Ladies PLEASE chit chat later! This is a most pressing matter!" He said, zipping around the cloud a few times to try and cut it off, he noticed SongHeart's weak flying and frowned "Miss I must suggest you land and leave this to stronger fliers, I can't risk you being hurt..." He bucked the cloud with his back feet, to try and change it's course, since yeahhh it seemed dead set for Ponyville, and the cloud had a strange sort of...sticky feel to it?

Hearing Derpy he waved a hoof "Derpy it's not electric! But I'm glad you're here! Help me get it back to the everfree? It's odd and sticky and I don't think it bodes well for Anypony !"

she almost clenched her teeth but didn't. She wasn't THAT weak a flier. "hey, I'm as strong a flier as any other pegeses that would be flying around here. " she replied. She hated ponies noticing her semi-weak flying. "and besides, you need as much help as you can get to move an Everfree cloud!" she pointed out. She had to fly allot to get to concerts in time, but she hadn't been doing to good lately. "note to self, try to work on flying." she mumbled to herself

"The help will do me no good, Derpy and this other mare should be able to apply plenty of aid! You should just stay back! I don't want to risk you getting injured" He could tell she was upset, but honestly safety came before hurt feelings, and Prism would not be able to forgive himself if she got herself hurt due to this!

yep. Now she was doing her best not to explode. "fine" she said with no emotion whatsoever and just landed on the ground and sat down. "tell me when you want my help" she called up to him. Stubborn as a bull she probably wouldn't move unless she DECIDED to go up there and help or until he admitted they needed her help.

"Hey you guys!!! You shouldn’t be hanging around potential thunderstorms unless you’ve licensed in handling electric weather!”

Uh-oh...maybe her help wasn't needed after all? Flourish hovered for a moment while listening to the conversation going on between the rainbow stallion and Song. unsure of how to proceed. Then he mentioned the help of Derpy and herself would be needed!

Flourish, being a cloud writer not a cloud tamer found herself a little out of her element. But that didn't mean she wouldn't give this her best effort. If there was one thing the powder blue pegasus was good at, it was setting her will to a task! She furrowed her brow and swooped near the odd sticky cloud, launching her hind hooves at it like the rainbow maned pegasus had done. It puffed back a bit upon contact but the one kick had done little to turn the direction of the massive nimbus.

For a moment she felt bad for her friend. It would be humiliating for her to be sent to the ground like that. Flourish was a proud pony and things like that could really get under her skin if it were her. But maybe Song wasn't taking it that bad. It was true that it wouldn't do to have a weak flier working with such a potentially dangerous cloud mass. She didn't mind if Song wasn't quite as strong a flier, she was still glad to have met her and hoped to get to know her better soon! For now though, there was the cloud to deal with.

"Obviously I'm not on the weather squad but I'll help in any way you tell me to!" She gave her wings a powerful flap, showing the weather ponies that she had her flying under control. "What's the orders?" She hovered for a moment, waiting for either of the two more experienced weather ponies to tell her what they wanted her to do.

"Derpy it's not electric! But I'm glad you're here! Help me get it back to the Everfree? It's odd and sticky and I don't think it bodes well for anypony!"

A sticky cloud? That was new to Derpy Hooves, who thought she knew everything about weather. Skeptical of Mr. Burst’s claim, Derpy flew right up to the offending cloud and stuck a hoof through. Determining the stickiness of the unidentified cloud, the young mare next did what any sensible pony would do, and licked the sticky stuff off her hoof.

After a few seconds of messing with the odd-tasting junk in her mouth, Derpy forced herself to swallow it, but otherwise didn’t feel worse from it. Having no idea what this pseudo-cloud was, the pegasus shrugged with indifference; “I wouldn’t worry about the cloud, everypony. If nothing can pour down from it, this baby’s completely harmless!”

Cinder and Overcast took off from the ground and ascended into the sky. After visiting a Ponyville bookstore, Cloudsdale was their next stop. They were on vacation and as usual, took a trip to Ponyville. It was becoming a regular spot for them.

Cinder glanced into her saddlebag at a recently purchased book and grinned. "I can't believe there was only three left. I could see why though, it's a fantastic series. I know you don't like scary stuff, but it's so well written. You might even change your mind about the genre. The first one is a little clunky but after that it gets better."

Overcast's eyes widened as he noticed a massive cloud near the Everfree Forest. It was hard to see from their distance, but it seemed like three other pegasi were swarming around it, presumably trying to change it's course.

He gave Cinder's shoulder a few pokes from his hoof. "Uh, Cinder?"

She ended her stream dialogue and raised an eyebrow at him. "What?"

He pointed at the scene, causing her gaze to fall upon the massive storm cloud heading straight for Ponyville. "Oh my word!" She quickly changed course. "Come on, Cloudsdale can wait!"

Cinder zoomed towards the looming mass with Overcast following closely behind her. When they got there, Cinder approached the rainbow maned stallion with a gallant gleam in her eyes. "We want to help!"

It certainly wasn't firefighting, but Cinder knew she and her brother were strong and experienced flyers who've grown accustomed to dealing with dangerous situations while the clock was ticking.

“I wouldn’t worry about the cloud, everypony. If nothing can pour down from it, this baby’s completely harmless!”

Flourish watched as Derpy tasted the cloud. It was an odd way of determining if the storm would be harmless or not. But hey, she was on the weather tram so who could argue? Flourish only wanted to help not offer her own opinions. She did not however, fancy tasting the cloud as Derpy had done.

"We want to help!"

Oh good! More ponies had arrived to help out. If the storm was about to turn nasty it looked like these pegasi could help out.

"Glad you guys are here!" She called out quickly, still keeping her eyes on the storm. "Just waiting for orders from these two weather ponies." She spoke with obvious respect for Prism and Derpy. "We're ready to help out in any way you might need us!"

Sky Flare descended through the sky, doing flips and spins as he went as he passed through the clouds. As he got closer to the outskirts of Ponyville, the white Pegasus saw a crowd of other Pegasus ponies talking to each other.

"Hey everypony. What's up?"

He could see that the group was upset about something, but for the moment he had no idea what it was. It was then upon looking around the stallion looked over and saw the big cloud approaching from the direction of the Everfree Forest right towards where they were standing and worse towards Ponyville!

"Whoa! What is that cloud doing here? It's huge, bigger that most I've seen today. Er... did anypony try to bust it?"

Prisim sighed as yet more youth showed up, when he called out for help he had been HOPING for more experienced Pegasi! Ah well "I'v tried busting it, but I believe that two or more ponies at a time are going to be required to break it-Oh no!" Prism's eyes widened in shock! More of those thick, gunky clouds were making their way out of the Everfree, some now floating towards Canterlot, others continuing their trek to Ponyville!

"Everyone form groups of two or three and start trying to bust those clouds!"

Looking at the Rainbow pony that he remembered from his time transporting clouds that this pony was Rainbow Dash's dad, Sky realized that he missed out on some important information and the Pegasus had to tell him and other late-comers what was going on. They weren't the typical clouds that he had seen in the sky as they look thick and heavy. Even more of a shock was the fact that the cloud couldn't be broken by one pony, something that he knew even the least athletic could do.

He turned to see that more clouds were forming and heading to other towns. Whatever was producing them, it showed no sign of stopping.

"Alright, who wants to go bust some clouds with me?"

Flourish's eyes widened as more clouds began to roll in. This was spelling definite trouble for Ponyville if they didn't act fast! it was true there were not a lot of experienced weather ponies on the scene but they could do the best with what they had! Flourish herself was quite a strong flier and really wanted to help out if she could.

"Alright, who wants to go bust some clouds with me?"

She looked over to the newest pony on the scene and nodded.

"Yeah, sounds good to me! Let's get to work!" She began to fly towards the clouds. The wind had started to pick up and she wanted to get busting before those clouds got pushed any closer to the town! "How about if we try busting a cloud together with our hind hooves? I'll count the three and we give it a kick?" She spoke loudly to make sure she could be heard over the brewing storm of gunky clouds.

"One! Two! Three!" Flourish kicked out at the cloud behind her as hard as she could.

Flying over to Prism Burst’s side, Derpy Hooves wondered what were the deal with these sticky clouds. As far as she remembered, nopony ever taught Derpy anything about what caused these cloud formations and what sort of things they rained down on the earth. Ergo, sticky clouds were probably harmless things which nopony should be concerned over.

Even if she was wrong on that count, the derpy pegasus questioned the effectiveness of having more ponies attempt to bust a single cloud at once. Wouldn’t that just mean more ponies getting stuck to the cloud at the same time? Never one to stay silent, Derpy provided some good old advice from her expansive noggin; “You know Mr. Burst, whenever I need to remove sticky residue at my home, I use rubbing alcohol. Just something to keep in mind.....”
