What’re you doing here?” >”Got bored, so looking for something to do. Flash Kick is sulking again,” he groans >Oh yeah, that’s right; he’s been like this ever since Typhoon started dating Sonic Boom >”And Sonic Boom’s on a date with Typhoon today, so I came to you next,” he says >Go figure >Come to think of it, you and Typhoon need to hang out more >It’s been a while since just the two of you went out and did something “Well, I’m a bit busy today, but I think Ivy’s free; why don’t you go find her?” >He has a sort of grim look on his face from that >He shrugs, before flying off >You hate having to put him off like that, but the Apple family needs the rain for their harvest >And you’d be damned before you thought they weren’t the best tasting apples in all of Equestria >End Thunder Storm's PoV   >You are Ivy Whisper >You’ve been assigned color duty for the rainbows at the weather factory >The rainbows power the rest of the facility, so it is essential that you mix each batch perfectly… >”Heya Ivy, what’s up?” >You jump and nearly drop everything >You turn around; it’s Streaking Comet “Oh, Comet, it’s just you; what can I do for you?” >He groans. “Well, actually, I was wondering if you were free to do something today; I’m bored, Sonic Boom and Typhoon are out on another date, Flash Kick’s being flank-flustered, and Thunder’s busy moving clouds… He said you would be free today, so I came looking for you.” >You smile “Of course; lemme finish mixing this last rainbow, then I’ll come hang out with you.” >He pumps a hoof into the air excitedly; you giggle a bit at the display >You go back to mixing the last batch of rainbow >Comet seems to be spending his waiting time trying to break some kind of imaginary thing in the air >He’s a bit… off, but he’s still a good friend of yours >You smile up at him, finishing the last bit before floating up into the air “Well, shall we be off?” >He smiles and nods, bolting off, and you follow close behind >The two of you decide to create a game out of going through the clouds in the sky >Comet’s slightly faster than you, but you don’t mind; you’re still able to keep up with him close enough to make the race a close one >Both of you laugh and stare up at the clear, blue sky while resting on a large cloud afterward >You look down at the ground >”Um… any reason why the two of you are up here?” >You see Thunder hovering under the two of you; you giggle and bounce once again onto the cloud “No reason at all!” >End Ivy Whisper PoV   >You are Streaking Comet >Many ponies have deemed you insane at one point or another >But today is different; today you will prove the methods to your madness >For today, your story is read by hundreds on the human imageboard known to them as 4Chan >Of course, nop0ny would believe you if you said that >You should probably get out of bed now. >You immediately bolt up and out of your bed >Time to begin the day >You fly out of your home, and dive-bomb right for the pond underneath >You speed to it as fast as you can, gravity adding to your speed >You land with a huge splash, the water shooting up to at least 25 feet up in the air >You swim up and out of the pond, using your wings as raft-like extensions >You arrive on the shore >You turn and see Flash Kick resting under a large, shaded tree >You walk up to him “Heya, Flash Kick; what’s up?” >He grumbles, sitting up >His shades are covering his angered eyes >”What do you want, Comet?” >You’re a bit taken aback by the comment >Suddenly, you remember how he’s still sort of butthurt about the whole “Sonic Boom dating Typhoon” thing >You decide not to question it further, resting in the shade next to him “I saw you over here; thought you could use the company, that’s all.” >He scowls. “If I wanted company, I wouldn’t be here, y’know.” >He sits up and flies off angrily >You sigh >This is why you choose not to fall in love; too much drama >You sit up, and fly into the air >Maybe Ivy or Thunder will be doing something interesting >You fly back up to Cloudsdale, eager to find something to entertain yourself with >Eventually you find Thunder, moving a few clouds for the day’s scheduled weather forecast “Heya, Thunder!” >He stops a moment, and turns to look at you >”Hey Comet! What’re you doing here?” he asks, his deeper voice juxtaposing Flash Kick’s higher-pitched voice “Eh, got bored, so I’m looking for something to do. Flash Kick’s sulking and Sonic Boom’s on a date with Typhoon today, so I came to you next.” >”Well, I’m a bit busy right now, but I don’t think Ivy’s busy today; why don’t you go find her?” >You shrug >Well, maybe today will be different >You and Ivy had a sort of… “Interesting” relationship, to say the least >Before the drama that was the love-triangle between your friends, you were considering that maybe you and Ivy could have something special >You decided afterwards that you cared more about keeping yourself safe, so you opted not to pursue anything more with her >You liked keeping your wings >You head for the other end of Cloudsdale, nonetheless >You eventually find her, mixing the rainbows in the weather factory >You land on the cloud next to her “Heya Ivy, what’s up?” >She jumps, nearly dropping the rod she was using to mix the rainbows >”Oh, Comet, it’s just you,” she sighs, placing the mixer aside. “What can I do for you?” “Well, actually, I was wondering if you were free to do something today; I’m bored, Sonic Boom and Typhoon are out on another date, Flash Kick’s being flank-flustered, and Thunder’s busy moving clouds… He said you would be free today, so I came looking for you.” >She smiles. “Of course; lemme finish mixing this last rainbow, then I’ll come hang out with you.” >You pump your hoof into the air; finally, someone you can hang out with >Little did you know, this would be the start to your epic adventure >You decide to spend the time waiting for her trying to break through the strange glass wall in the air >It doesn’t work; you decide to try again tomorrow >Ivy finishes up, and the two of you head out, spending the day shooting through clouds like it’s a raceway and each cloud is like a checkpoint >And all was good in the world of Streaking Comet that day. >End Streaking Comet PoV
