Catching Up in the Sky
As Cloud Charger flew away from the library after dropping Twilight off, he thought of the day's events, mainly getting to know the famous Twilight Sparkle. He almost expected Twilight to be more pristine or uptight, but to his surprise after getting to know her, she is a loose and funny pony. He enjoyed spending time with her that afternoon. He could tell that Twilight and him were going to be great friends.
When Cloud got to his house, he went to his kitchen to find something to eat. Even though he was just at Sugar Cube Corner, he was starving. He had gone to the shop for a snack, but now he realized that was over 4 hours ago. He searched through his pantry and finally found a cupcake that he had gotten yesterday when he went to Sugar Cube Corner.
'I forgot that I still had this,' thought Cloud. 'Weird, I think I would remember something like this when I was hungry before.' Cloud shrugged it off and ate the cupcake from yesterday.
With his hunger satisfied, for now, Cloud went out for a quick flight. He always did this when he felt like he needed a bit of time to think and with a new friend; he felt that was a good reason for a flight. Cloud also just loves to fly so he makes up random stupid reasons for himself. Cloud walked out the door and took off into the evening sky.
As Cloud flew, he thought about the fact that he had made a new friend in just an afternoon. He wasn't typically a social pony. When Twilight began to walk towards him, he had no idea what was happening. She was a famous pony and he's just a normal pegasus. Cloud kinda knew Rainbow Dash, one of Twilight's friends, from Cloudsdale and flight school. Cloud found that whenever he met a pony and hung out with them for a little bit, he more often than not, he would be able to match a name to their face.
Back in flight school, Cloud had had a pretty big crush on Rainbow dash. If he wasn't doing his homework or doing a sports activity, he was thinking about Rainbow Dash. Really, he would still think about her even if he was doing those things. He thought that she was just so awesome and cool. Plus, she was really cute and her rainbow coloured mane was perfect.
"I doubt Rainbow Dash remembers me," Cloud thought out loud as he flew past a clump of clouds.
"Are you talking about me?" Rainbow Dash said as she emerged from the clump of clouds, startling Cloud Charger.
"Oh, did I say that out loud?" Cloud asked, a little embarrassed
"Yeah, yeah you did," Rainbow Dash replied, staring Cloud down. "Don't tell me. I think I can remember your name." Rainbow Dash continued to stare at Cloud and rack her brain for his name. It was on the tip of her tongue. "Cloud… Chaser?"
"Close, Cloud Charger," he replied, almost amazed at the fact that Rainbow Dash still remembered most of his name.
"Shoot, so close. Right, now I remember. You were in my class back at flight school, weren't you?"
"Yessiree."
"Weren't you the one who accidentally let the class's pet bird go and it took us all like 3 days to finally find it?"
"Yup, that was me," Cloud replied as he looked down, embarrassed by that story. He felt so bad when that happened. "I only wanted to give him some fresh air and then he flew off before I could do anything."
"Likely story," Rainbow Dash laughed. "So what have you been up to since flight school?"
"Not much really. Just working playing sports and going to school right now. How have you been since flight school? Well, besides the whole saving all of Equestria multiple times thing."
Rainbow Dash laughed at the comment, "Same as you, basically nothing at all, just working with the weather and on my tricks. Well, I should get going; I'm having a sleep over with Fluttershy tonight. It was nice catching up with you. Catch you around."
"Okay, yeah, it was good talking. We should hang out sometime or something," Cloud said, waving to Rainbow Dash as she flew off towards Fluttershy's cottage.
When Rainbow Dash was out of sight, Cloud sighed and clumped onto a cloud. Talking to her made him feel good inside. "I guess I still have crush on her," Cloud said, realizing and admitting it. Really, he never got over her; he just pushed his feelings down and ignored them. Not talking to her or seeing her very often helped in a way.
It was starting to get late, so Cloud started to fly home. When he got home, he went to bed thinking of today's events, mainly, talking to Twilight and Rainbow Dash.
So what do you guys think? I'd really like to get some reviews. Anything really. Doesn't even have to be about the story (although I would prefer it if it were).
