Everypony listened as the thunder died down, and the lightning slowed down until it eventually stopped. "Is it over, Storm Cloud?" Thought silver Bloom.

The earth was mostly charred, ruining the crops and flowers the earth ponies had plantes and tended to. It would take a while until it healed thoroughly. The few fires, which had grown in numbers and spread, were still burning, and would continue to until someone put them out.

A few ponies finally came outside to see if the storm had passed, jumping at every sound, afraid it was thunder.

"That storm was awful."

"We've never had a storm like that before."

"Not at this time of year, that's for sure."

Nopony could believe how violent the storm had gotten, though they were glad it was over. Now they just had to somehow get everything back to notmal, starting with the fires.

Silver Bloom went to check on the flowers she and Storm Cloud had planted, hoping he'd be there. The flowers looked safe, though the lightning had not missed them by much and the earth was still charred in some places. Then, the sun came out. Silver Bloom hadn't expected it, not after such a violent storm, but she was glad all the same. Then, suddenly, there was a dark shadow over here. She looked up and saw a cloud. A dark cloud, but not an exact storm cloud. A pegasus was holding it up, or rather it was holding him. He lay on it, and rain poured from it onto the flowers , healing the earth. Silver Bloom looked through the trees and saw that the earth was healing in other places, too. She looked up and smiled at the dark gray pegasus with the storm cloud cutie mark.

Maybe the storm was over and the sun was out...but she would always be besides a storm cloud.

"Did you really get your powers back, Storm Cloud? "

"I sure did, Silver Bloom. I have the cutie mark to prove it."

"I thought you said your cutie mark had two identical lightning

Bolts. This left one has an extra spike on the end."

"I was confused about that, too. But I think one symbolises I can control my storms, and the that I can create them. I guess I made them so often because that part was stronger."

"I'm just glad you're alright. I was worried after the storm."

"I promised I'd be safe, didn't I?"

"True. You know, Storm cloud, you really are a great friend."

"Silver bloom...you're my dearest friend, too. You always will be."

'My dear storm cloud, though

I can't be with you anymore,

I hope you know that I understand

You are afraid of your powers.

But you don't need to be, darling.

Your powers are amazing,

And I know that one day you

Will find something amazing

To use them for.

No matter whether you use

Your powers for good or bad,

Your mothet will always love you.

Goodbye, my Sweet Storm Cloud.'
