(WARNING, their are MANY TYPOS in this chapter. They will be fixed when I find the time. But, that might be a awhile. I hope you enjoy anyway.)
Cakeria was given the mane prize out of everyone! - Freedom.
Like I said before- what a fool she was. It was like she enjoyed what she was doing in this Factory. Of course- her cutie mark is – Exception. She got it in a race, she won second place. I thought she would be angrier than ever, but she took her medal with great pride and a smile! Then her cutie mark appeared- it was like a shadow- but the shape was readable. Two ponies shaking each other's hoofs- agreeing- excepting whatever they were shaking for. My Cutie was different- I never talked about what I look like... Or what my cutie mark is.
Well, I'm slightly a dark green with light blue eyes. My mane is red, yellow, short- but curly. And my cutie mark is two clouds lying flat on their back separated from one another. But a rainbow connects the two. I was daydreaming in class one day- we had to write a short story in class. But I failed to hear the teacher announce it. A week later I learned that I had only 1 day to complete the paper! I worked so hard- very hard- I used all my imagination. Little did I know it was a competing with all my fellow class mates? I won first prize then I turned around and there it was. I didn't know what it meant- but Cakeria took her two hoofs, smiled and then pulled away slowly saying, "Imagination". She said you could have stood for smart thinking too. But I don't know for shore.
Cakeria told me of all her trips to Cloudsdale, Ponyville and many other places. But it was her first trip I always thought about- Because, that was the trip she realized how much had changed…
Cakeria had flown with some other pony. I didn't know him well; Cakeria had said his name was Torsoe and that he was the only one aloud outside the factory besides herself and the boss. They both flew to Cloudsdale. Cakeria smiled softly and started to fly faster as she got closer. But only to be stopped by Torsoe, "Don't do that… Fly like you have seen the place a thousand times, keep your mouth shut, and if you see any old friends you act as if you don't even know them! Understand?" Cakeria nodded, "I hope the Diania was right about being able to trust you. If you even try to mention a word- I'll be the only to pull out your wings- slowly….. One by one…" giggled Torsoe. Cakeria clutched her teeth and flew right in front of Torsoe so close to where their noses where pushing each other, "Same goes for me…" Both just starred at one another for a moment then Cakeria backed off and continued. She flied closer then landed on the soft cloud, she sighed happily as the cloud puff went over her hoofs. She never felt better. But it didn't last long, she looked over and what she saw shocked her.
"Alright every pony gets in the line, in the line now!" Cakeria stepped closer and watched, "A testing? But how- there is no way another one could be held up so quickly!" she whimpered. "They moved it down to 13 year olds." Torsoe flew over and sat next to Cakeria. "Good, I didn't have to show it too you myself! This is where you are supposed to go; Diania- I mean the boss said you would be able to find what you need here. If you get my meaning, I think she's testing you." Cakeria looked at the formation of the test. "We are going to do this by name! Your judges are on the east side of the field. Do not and I repeat do NOT fly to far west! If they lose any sight of you for any reason you will be failed imminently. Take deep breaths; stretch your wings one last time. The test will consist of three sections. Weather Clearing, Agility, and Recovery- Clear the clouds, Fly threw the hoops then fly to the marked elevation. Close your wings for at least 3 seconds. Any less and you'll fail. But keep in mind there is no extra points for extra seconds. Finally, recover BEFORE you hit the cloud floor. Understood? Any questions?" said the pony in the center of the small young pony crowd. Then he started to call names, "And I thought my test was hard…. Back then it was just fly, go through a few hoops under a time limit and land safely. Why all this change in Flight School and why did they move the test down to younger grades?" Cakeria asked, "Guess they wanted a better challenge for the fillies. But the true answer would be- they need workers to help with the weather. It's getting harder now that Celestia is letting ponies build more cities and find new lands all around the world. It's also getting harder for us as well…." He bent down in my ear. "We need to find quicker, easier and more fulfilling ways to make rainbows." Then he pulled away, "It takes a lot of ponies to make a rainbow a day…. That's why we are here! I don't know what the boss wishes us to find but, we have to take a look. A GOOD one! So watch carefully!"
Cakeria watched as the ponies completely their test. But none she had found use for making Rainbows- well- there was two failures. But the boss wanted new ways- and these ways be making the most gorgeous of rainbows, but they don't make a lot. "Come on! FASTER!" Cakeria's ears twitched as she heard the screams of encouragement. "Hu?" She looked over; flying in the sky was a blue pony with a rainbow mane. She screamed and yelled at the ponies and all the judges yelled at her. But she continued to encourage the ponies. "Want to be like me someday right? Well come on! Fail this- you fail me!" the pony put her two hoofs together. "I know her…. She was there when I got my cutie mark! I was in a race and she won! She one in only 15 seconds while it took us a minute to finish, she passed all flying test with the greatest of scores. That shows off! I remember- she even made this big rainbow…. I think it was called a sonic-"Cakeria paused as her eyes went wide. Then she looked over at Torsoe, "A sonic rain boom?" he asked, both and Cakeria looked at the pony. "That has not been done in – YEARS! Some say it does not even exist. This pony must be the only one to have ever done it…. Even her mane shows of this!" Torsoe said happily, "She seems like quite a trouble maker…. Look at her ignoring the judges!" "HAHAHAHA, perfect…." crazily smiled Torsoe.
Cakeria waited until the pony was done with her cheering. Cakeria had told of how she moved down to Ponyville not to long ago. So the pony flew downward towards the ground, only to be stopped by Cakeria and Torsoe. "Excuse me, can I – help you?" asked the pony with a confused expression. "Yes, yes you can. You see, we work at the weather factory and are aware that you might have made a sonic rain boom." Said Torsoe, "Yep! But I was just a filly then…. Names Rainbow Dash." Rainbow Dash looked over at Cakeria, "Have we met before?" she asked, "Rainbow Dash, we would like for you to come with us- for secretive purposes. Your assistance is needed." Cakeria didn't want to let go of her identity just yet. But in a strange weird odd set of fate- Rainbow Dash had agreed to follow them.
It's kind of weird how you disagree with doing something but then just do it yourself! That's how I felt at that time. I was out of my bed and walking and the first day Cakeria left was the first day I started my job! My wing was still bandaged and rapped, but no one seemed to notice. They took me to my machine- there was so many controls that- I don't even have the words to completely describe them. But the point was- I pick up a pony, place him/her, find the right spectra point in their body and stab. After so- I make the machine take away the lifeless body and throw it in a large – bucket I would call it. It was metal and not far from the ground- only a foot or two high. But I would throw the bodies their- so they could be dragged away to another machine or even just- thrown away. The final step was before that- after I stabbed the body, there is a lever that reads (abstract).Once I pull that lever the spectra is removed from the body and pulled away in long tubes that lead to a round large medal boll in the center of the factory. On the other side of the boll are many other tubes- but these tubes are clear- so you can see threw them. Workers inspect the color witch lays inside them. The color gets transported into large tanks. The tanks get transported down to the mane Weather factory which is a block away. But- this Black, dark factory is hidden within its own black clouds. No one most likely does not even now there's a factory right on top of their heads. Smoke comes out from the spectra, just left useless gunk I suppose. But there is this machine that makes this weird hammering sound- it goes up and down and supplies the round boll in the center. I don't know what it's for- but it creates the most smoke. Long pipes reach out the factory to release all access smoke trapped inside. I cough every five minutes or so.
After a small bit of training I was on my own- controlling this one machine. As I pulled the pony up and it looked terrified. It was even breathing hard! You would think it would die of a heart attack- I just looked at it…. "I'm sorry… so sorry…" I whispered to him as he looked frightened at me. Then I pulled the lever forward. *Stab* blood splattered the ground below. Then I pulled the lever (Abstract). I watched as the color from the young pony slowly faded away. I was teary. I was not afraid to cry being hidden by the control panel. So I did…. I cried…. Then I ripped it away.
"It seems hard now…. But just wait and see- your first rainbow. The very first one- you'll be so proud!" I looked over noticing Cakeria in some black outfit. It was like a science coat but black and with a hoody. She just looked at me, "You'll be making lots of ponies happy…." She smiled at first- but then her smile turned to a found. She began to sniffle as her tears weld up- she fell and I cot her as she wept quietly in my shoulder. "What have they done to me?" She cried. "I- I- I feel different Jay! I feel as if all this is right… I feel as if it's alright- that it's okay. What they do is okay!" She continued to cry. I wanted to cry too but- I had to be strong this time. "It's my turn now, I'll figure this out! You wait and see!" Then I heard hoof steps as ponies began to get closer. Both Cakeria and I were hidden by the control panels and are sounds where block by pounding from the machine, screaming, crying! No way could no one hear us. But I had to make shore they didn't see her like this. I ran down to meet up with the ponies- only to see this blue on with the Rainbow Mane and the dark purple one with the even darker purple mane. It was Torsoe, "Jay is it? Just came to tell everyone we got a new worker. Wouldn't want anyone making a mistake and- You know!" He laughed. I looked over at her we both looked at each other angrily and said, "I REMEMBER YOU!"
