Night filling the air, while across the horizon that is tainted by trees is a hint of morning. A light array of color softening the black and blue that dominates the sky giving a serene emotion from the land. Above the blue and black, or between, are the sparkling stars. Those beautiful stars that the inhabitants of Equestria fathom so much about…

The still lit moon just tapping the crust of Equestria with its light that is reflected off from the sun that will soon be on the horizon. The clouds steady in the sky, from just sprinkling their water over night onto the farm of Apple Acres.

On their farm is a large red barn, with it's double door slightly open. A little ways from the warn barn is the home that house the Apple family. The house fully made of wood, with s few windows. It has a recently tidied porch, with a few chairs residing on it. The barn has a fence that rides along a dirt road all the way to a 3 way split dirt road.

At the split, there is a pole that is made of a simple branch. On the homemade pole, there are the signs. Each pointing to a different direction; one pointing to the long path to the Apple Acres.

The other points to the Everfree Forest, which is home to many creatures that may not be accepted into regular society. It is known all around Equestria to be a dangerous place. The only thing tops it's dangerousness, is how it is always shrouded in mystery. Not many souls know much about the Everfree Forest. It is plagued by swamps, thick, unwinding trees, and unrelenting weariness.

In the Forest however, is a small hut, with lights always on. These lights made from certain chemicals, to make a mighty brew. The windows do not have glass to see through, but just holes in where the tree has been cut. Its owner however, is off somewhere else knowing her home is safe.

The final sign addresses Ponyville in the direction it is pointing. Ponyville, being easily noticeable, makes the sign basically useless. The town is calm now, as it is breaking dawn with the light bouncing off all the different buildings, but in the day is when it shines with life. Each pony walking about the town square talking amongst each other, and the Pegasi flying about freely.

A rather unique of all the houses is the tree house. It is more of a library than a home, but to its owner, that is all she needs. The tree house's lights are off at the moment, but it has many windows, almost cascading from top of the tree, to the trunk.

Just a walk from the complex tree house is a bizarre looking house, but not considered so weird to the inhabitants of this town. The house is shaped like a collage of sweets. Almost like a cone, with a flat bottom, it has a variety of different sweets stacked on top of each other. On the top layer looking as though it is made of gingerbread and the edges tipped with white making it look like icing. On the very top is a cupcake. There are windows to this home, but they seem as though they are part of the edible looking home. These being the only two outlandish homes to the rest of Equestria, the rest look as though are any normal home to any pony.

What is truly Equestria prize, next to Canterlot, is the sky city…Cloudsdale. The cloud city resides just in Ponyville's view. It is no doubt any normal cloud, as it has large buildings shaped from clouds themselves. Around it is almost another representation of Ponyville, but built for Pegasi. There are many clouds around the city made from clouds, giving it some depth. If Ponyville had the outlandish houses, Cloudsdale is the outlandish city; quite literally.

The city has every building made from clouds that are constructed in their large factory. By this cloud factory, is a Rainbow factory, where the Pegasus race creates the mush of colors. The prize of this legendary place is the stadium in which the Wonderbolts often perform. It has rows, and rows of seats for the audience, and sometimes these thousands of seats aren't enough.

Not far from the stadium is a specially constructed house for a special Pegasus. Inside the front entrance and to the right is a staircase leading to the bedrooms. To the left is the kitchen where a table lies still with a bowl on it. Across the table is a refrigerator with a calendar on it surrounded by a bunch of different colored magnet letters. Parallel to the fridge is the counter where a desert of dishes lies. They are everywhere, but the sink. Above the desert are half open cuboards, obviously raided for late-night snacking.

Between the fridge and counter is a gap in the wall that leads to the dining room. In the dining room is a cloud table, far in length, but weak in width. There are 6 cloud seats spread around the table, in a classic dining manner.

To the right of the dining room is a doorway without a door that leads back to the entrance. Upstairs, there is only one room that is used, because there is only one occupant of the house. Inside this room is the mess that claims the title from the rest of the house.

There are clothes everywhere accompanied by various different objects. There is no sign of any flooring in the room. To the left of the doorway to the bedroom is a cabinet that is slightly open revealing a blue outfit that is exotic of all standards. Straight ahead of the doorway is a balcony with a glass slide door. There are no guard rails for the balcony, as it was not wanted.

To the far right end of the room is a single bed, with a lonely body. There is a blanket, and pillow on the bed, but the pony lying on the cloud bed made no attempt to use. The pony sleeps quietly, deep in her sleep….

"Rainbow Dash!"

Looking below, the blue, multi mane colored Pegasus seeing a orange blur recognizing that voice from anywhere. This orange figure is just a small blur, from being so high in the sky; where she belongs. She knows who this orange figure, just by that thick southern accent; Applejack.

"Yeah, what?" The Pegasus's voice squeaks knowing that she can't be heard from up above the trees while keeping her flight speed, making sure the earthbound pony has to go her top speed to keep up.

"Why don't ya'll come down here a little so ah could hear ya!" Addressing Rainbow Dash, knowing very well why she is flying so high. The striking blue pony, aggravated, and descends some. Keeping her speed only feet from Applejack keeping herself afloat in the air.

"Ya'll know you said yesterday ya would help me buck' them apple trees." She says calmly, easily keeping up with Rainbow Dash's speed, as she is slowing down, although knowing she is due to help with the Apple's farm.

"Can't help you today. I have uhh…clouds I have to move from here." Obviously a lie. The sky was beautiful, with only a couple clouds in the blue ocean above. Rainbow Dash just wants to go lay on a cloud…Relax, sleep…Then later, get some flying down, and practice some of her signature moves that can only be performed by a pony with true flight talent.

"Ahh naw sugarcube, you aren't going to skip out of work again like you did last season. Ya'll made a promise tuh help, n' Ima make it happen!" The frustrated orange athlete yells to the stubborn blue pony.

"How can you make me if you can't catch me?" The Pegasus starts to flap her wings to greater speed, soaring past the acre, and turning into the large field of trees.

The orange pony follows shouting, "Ah know you're not trying to run from me!" She knows she cannot compete with a Pegasus, or Rainbow Dash for that matter in speed, but she knew Rainbow Dash well…"Without them there wings ya'll would be in a heap a' trouble!" The orange pony yells to her Pegasus friend, knowing very well this made her furious.

"You are just jealous that I have wings, and you don't!" She yells back in defense, looking at the frantically following pony, as they race through all the trees still full of apples.

"Ya'll lucky too cos' ah'd be heck'a faster than you!" She yells to her friend, knowing immediately how ticked it got her. Rainbow Dash putts herself to a stop. Her hind legs bending back, pulling her wings back for wind resistance, and her front legs bracing themselves for her stop. Applejack slows down, not needing to do so much just to stop herself.

"I am the fastest Pegasus in all of Equestria! No other pony has come close to my speed!" Rainbow Dash yells to Applejack with her scratchy, almost squeaky voice. Applejack just looks at her, confident in her knowledge of her arrogant friend.

"If ya'll so fast, how come ah get ya to stop easier than buckin' trees?" AJ replies with an eyebrow raised to put emphasis on, "easy". Rainbow Dash's Magenta eyes narrowing, seeming to lose their natural cool.

Raising her right hoof to Applejack, as if accusing, "If you weren't so stubborn all the time, maybe I would help out!" Rainbow Dash counters. She lowers her hoof, and raises her head with her cool regained, her over abundance of ego filling up the entire Apple's farm.

"Ah am not stubborn! Ah a know when to help my friends, because ah don't just think bout' my own self! All ya'll do is lay on those clouds and do nothing. B'sides, " She yells back to Rainbow Dash, equalizing their anger now. There might as well be lightning between them.

"You have no idea how much work I do! I have to move clouds from and to Ponyville, traffic storms, and today I have to move your stupid clouds from your stupid farm!" Rainbow Dash yelling to her friend. Knowing she lied about the last part, Applejack sighed, sat down, and bowed her head in defeat. The most stubborn earth pony defeated by the most arrogant Pegasus. Her Stetson covering her face, and she motions her hoof to let Rainbow Dash leave. Rainbow Dash, feeling remorse now, looks at her earth pony friend, lowering her head as well.

She takes off, at a casual flight speed. She flies off, in a far direction; most likely towards Ponyville. Rainbow Dash is gone in seconds, leaving the light trail of her spectrum of colors.

Applejack looked to the trace of the blue Pegasus, and sighed again, this one disappointed in herself for letting her fly away. She knows for sure that Rainbow is going to find a cloud, and sleep there, or go off to practice her flying.

'Who is she to tell me I am arrogant! I need to practice so I can become a wonderbolt!' She thinks to herself, immediately betraying her thoughts…She knows that the apples could have used her help. She would have a significant effect on how many apples they would get this harvest. The blue Pegasus decides to reside on a puffy looking cloud; this cloud almost familiar, like she had already spent time on it before, she sighs.

'She's a good friend…She doesn't do me any wrong…' Rainbow says to herself, trying to reason the incident just moments ago. She looks up to the beautiful sky she flies through it every day of her life. It's almost alien to her to not be able to fly, as she does not comprehend the difference between a pony with wings…And one without…

Feeling her eyes clench tighter than they already were from a shattering noise. She perks her ears up, knowing well it is her alarm clock. Her alarm clock is not like you would think. It does not ring, as any other ponies'. Hers is a large stereo system, which blares whatever rock music there happens to be in it at the time, and it is loud.

She tucks close to her almost cloud soft pillow. Well…It is a cloud. Not wanting to get up, she tolerates the loud guitar playing, and the generic vocals. 'Screw Applejack…She doesn't know all the work I do…Why am I always the misunderstood one?' Her thoughts wonder, as she thinks of her old nickname…Rainbow Crash…'I'll show all them that I am not an ordinary Pegasus!'

Finally she got up, not having as much energy as she thought she did. Hind legs off the bed while she contemplates what today could be. As she rubs her head with her hoof, her mane now messier than usual. She decides to shut off her obnoxious alarm clock first. How ironic.

Leaving the comfort of her plush bed, she steps over to her large speakers, her hooves only shaking more and more against the clouds. Normally these loud speakers with their sound would force the cloud apart, but these were specially made to withstand pretty harsh forces. Not only that, when Rainbow Dash had her house constructed, she knew this was what would wake her up in the morning, and wanted it to be sound proof; she didn't want any noise complaints, no matter how much she wanted to announce her presence.

Smacking her system on the power button, the vibrating coming to a stop under her whim. While she rubs her face with her available hoof she turns around and heads for her bathroom. Although she is definitely not the cleanest pony, she does like to keep herself looking good. She is the most awesome pony after all. She also needs to impress the Wonderbolts if she ever meets them for whatever reasons.

This morning, she is not feeling a shower will be necessary; she looks clean. With all the flying she does, and how fast she can get up to, there isn't really a need. That or she is too lazy to take a shower. Usually, she only takes one to relieve stress.

She looks over herself in her full body mirror, and starts to comb her mane. Even her comb has to be the greatest comb there is. After straightening (For the most part…) her vibrant mane, she wiggles her tail a little, brings it to the comb in her mouth, and starts to brush.

She thinks to herself…'Ugh…I have to clean my room…' Looking behind her, she sees her belongings scattered around the place. She is not one for wearing any type of fancy clothes, or any for that matter, so she usually just tosses them to the floor after the first day. All the clothes she gets are from Rarity anyways. It is a good thing she never comes to her house, or can't for that matter; she would throw a fit…Most of the other various things are just gifts she gotten over the years she spent in Ponyville. The most common being combs, goggles, and soda cans. Lots and lots of soda.

Sighing, she stops brushing her long tail, now with her mane and tail in their classic style of, "I don't care". This is quite the contrary, because if she didn't care, she would not be crushing her mane, tail, or even bothers having 10,000 combs.

She gets up, and looks herself over. "Sexy…" Saying to herself in a low, cocky voice, moving her head lightly forward as she says it. She walks off, with her confidence full, ego bursting, and arrogance a blast. Walking out of her bathroom, with her usual strut, she looks around her room, biting her bottom lip. Seeing the monstrous amount of useless junk lying around she thinks to herself…

Maybe I should clean this tomorrow…

The rainbow mare nods in agreement with her plan, as if she needed it, and looks to the only closet she owns. By how big it is, it could definitely hold the clothes that are scattered around her room. She sighs seeing the always hanging Wonderbolts outfit hiding alone in the large white, fluffy closet. She got this precious trophy when she was at a Wonderbolts show. She bought it, at a souvenir shop. It is the high quality that the actual Wonderbolts use, so she figured, "Why not?" She vowed she will never wear it until she is an official member.

Imagining herself up in the sky...A whole stadium, all her fans cheering for her over the other Bolts. She does all her signature moves, even the Legendary Sonic Rainboom. The crowd going insane, all these different ponies came here to see her…No one else. To see her. She gives herself a reassuring grin, and trots off to her begin her day.

As she walks down her cushiony steps, she thinks of what she wants for breakfast. She imagines a handsome colt downstairs, laying a plate of toast right where she always sits; the only seat that she has. She smiles, knowing that she deserves nothing less.

So, she decides on toast. She isn't exactly hungry, and she can always stop by Applejacks if she feels the need; they always give her apples. 'Ugh…I don't want to get caught up there though…' Two pieces then.

A pop, a burn, and a munch later, Rainbow Dash is about to head out her door, before she realizes she doesn't even know what she has to do today. Turning around, sighing, knowing it will be boring. She looks to the calendar posted on her fridge, next to an array of magnet letters. Seeing on the calendar that it is Wednesday. Sighing, she then looks to the magnet letters that are jumbled on her fridge. "Move clouds from Ponyville".

Rainbow Dash just loves flying. More than anything. The rustling of air past her, her wings flapping, gaining more and more speed. Hearing ever bristle of clouds softness going past her, as she gets to work.

Herding all the smaller clouds together in a single, much larger cloud. She starts to push the cloud, giving it momentum to start to migrate back to Cloudsdale to be recycled to another cloud. She puts her hooves to her hips, and smiles triumphantly at the defeat of the cloud. Turning around to see a whole collage of clouds, each being about the size of the combined cloud that is now floating away, she groans…

I'm gonna be here forever!

After much work, morphing the clouds together, pushing them away, then repeating… and repeating…and repeating…She kept the nicest, fluffiest cloud to herself, so she can lounge around for a while.

Now that the skies are clear of the white time consumers, the baby blue sky similar to the Pegasus that just cleared the skies of clouds, Rainbow Dash resides on the single cloud in the sky.

As if she isn't obvious enough with her vibrant colors, she is known for sleeping on clouds…There is only one cloud in the sky…She couldn't be a more obnoxious Pegasus. Her head falling back, she takes her usual nap. Her hands behind her neck, as she drifts away…

Smack!

An apple tree that was just bucked by the best spills all of its apples, falling all around the orange mare. She starts walking to the next tree, and bucks it as well, each apple falling around her. Rinse, and repeat…

From above the field of countless apple trees, where one pony deals with them all, is a single cloud. On this cloud is a single Pegasus. In this Pegasus is a single thought, sleep. Lying down relaxing, eyes shut calmly, while her ears listen to the occasional smack from Applejack hitting a tree with her hind legs.

After Applejack makes her way to right under Rainbow Dash's cloud, she starts kicking the trees, drawing Rainbow Dash from her trance. Rainbow, furious from being awoken from her fantasy dream about the Wonderbolts, pokes her head through her cloud, and looks straight at Applejack.

Her frown going flat, as she sees the lone earth pony taking on all the apple trees on her own. She looks ahead, where the well toned orange mare is heading, seeing a massive field of apple trees still full of lush apples. Rainbow Dash frowns again, out of guilt. Pulling her head back up, she takes her time, thinking of what to do…Help her? Or go back to sleep?

While thinking, she doesn't even realize her eyelids getting heavy…Very heavy. Too heavy. Going back to sleep, leaving the orange mare to her work, alone.

Waking up, Rainbow Dash picks her head up, and scratches her eyes with her hooves. She doesn't need her full, un-blurred vision to see that she overslept. "Shit!" Cursing to herself, as she looks around. She planned on practicing her newest move today too! Sighing in defeat of her own tiredness, still wanting to sleep. She flaps her wings steady, and starts to float away to Cloudsdale.

As she takes her leave from the cloud that kept her too long, she hears a faint Smack! Narrowing her vision, still a little blurry, she takes her body lightly over to what she now realizes is the one and only; Applejack. It must be late, around 10 pm. She looks across the field, seeing all these trees she has yet to relieve of apples, and frowns. Now really feeling bad for her friend, she flaps her wings to gain altitude, not wanting to alert the earth pony, and flies to her home at Cloudsdale.

Walking the soft steps to her upstairs rooms. She stumbles a little over some junk on the floor, but doesn't mind. She also doesn't mind her bed, as she just plops herself onto it, not covering up, or even grabbing her pillow that is now on the floor.

Just Sleep…

Just Dream…

Just Forget…
