The dappled mare looked taken aback before launching into her speech with a vehemence it didn't have before. "The weather plans are so interesting. They don't let me near the weather plans anymore, they say I get too obsessive about trying to change them when everypony knows that we need at least one hour of drizzle a week, not just that feeble ten they usually have planned." With a disgusted snort, she carried on. "It's just utterly ridiculous!"
Suddenly, her head tilted. "Hey, why don't you take me to the factory with you? I'll help you make some more clouds! I mean, after all, I know clouds best." During this she'd stepped closer to the sky blue pegasus, and her wide eyes were starting to get manic, as she shut out the other pegasi in their surroundings. "I'm sure no one will mind."
She cast a quick look to Fluttershy and Cloudfall and turned back to Rainbow Dash. "Unless they do, of course," she added.

Cloudfall stayed sitting for a few moments, letting his mind clear. Two tumbles to close together could not be good for a pony's health. He turned to look at a yellow pegasus who spoke to him. She seemed to be nervous, shy even. Cloud smirked in his mind, he could relate.
He gave the pink hair mare a shy smile and nodded, "Y-yeah... it's fine... just an accident" he replied, being barely louder then Fluttershy.

In a fraction of a second, Rainbow Dash's embarrassed facial expression gave way to a wide grin.
"You know, I don't think you really are good with clouds. Why don't you prove it?"
She turned around to the other two pegasi.
It looked like they were having a nice little conversation. Who knew, maybe Fluttershy had even found a new friend! It was probably better not to disturb the whispering ponies now.
"C'mon, let's go!"
I bet this crazy pony will just do the whole shift for me.
She thought, trotting down the road towards the weather factory.

As if sensing that she was near a kindred spirit, Fluttershy offered a nervous smile back at the strange pegasus. He seemed as uncomfortable as she was!
"Well.. as long as you're not hurt..." She said softly, shifting from hoof to hoof. "I know Rainbow Dash is a really fast flier- so a hit from her can be pretty rough." She averted her eyes, embarrassed at chattering so much. Then Rainbow Dash started trotting away without so much as a goodbye. That was so like her, always in a hurry to get to the next place, never stopping to enjoy life. Fluttershy thought that was a little sad somehow, but then, Rainbow Dash lived a much more exciting life too.
"Oh, there she goes..."

'Why don't you prove it?' The words struck the steely pegasus, waving like a red flag to a bull, and her nostrils flared, hoof scraping as her wings spread out. She felt insulted! And to think that the rainbow pegasus thought that she could possibly know clouds best when all she was, was a... a... common cloudkicker! With a snort she took to hovering up a little, teeth gritted.
"I can't imagine why you could possibly think you know better than me when it comes to clouds." Her derisive tone took a sharp edge as she fluttered alongside the mare. "Why, I doubt you even truly know the subtle differences between a stratus and an altostratus." With a toss of her mane, she looked back at the other pegasi. "I suspect you can't even make clouds as well as I can."
The dappled pony was far too enraged to see she was being manipulated. Not that it was true work for her, but she found herself thinking of all the competitions she could use to show up that Dang rainbowed pegasus once and for all. Then they'd all see who the better cloud maker was!

Cloudfall nodded quietly again, "Y-yeah... I'm fine. Just a l-little dizzy... It's pass, t-though..." he looked away from the other shy pegasus and glanced over as Rainbow and Dappled started to leave. He dropped his gaze to the cloud behieth him, "W-well... thank you for worrying. But I s-should get going too, I guess...." He started to pick himself up, giving his head a little shake as he did in an attempt to clear it. Everything was still wobbling around a little, but it wasn't too bad. He could manage.
Cloudfall looked down the way Rainbow and Dappled went off once more and remembered that that was where he needed to go as well. He turned to Fluttershy, but didn't look at her, and offered his quiet thanks once more.

Rainbow Dash stopped and turned her head. It wasn't a specific noise that got her attention, but rather the lack of one. Fluttershy and the walking roadblock had stopped talking. The latter seemed to say a quick goodbye to her and then walked up to Rainbow Dash and the cloudcrazy pegasus.
"You going to the factory too?"

Feeling embarrassed all of a sudden at the other pony's gratitude, Fluttershy ducked her head with an uncertain smile.
"No, really, it was no trouble... Uhm, goodbye everypony!" She gave a little wave and started trotting away from them across the clouds. She would spend the rest of the day with her animal friends, it would be so much nicer than having these awkward conversations that left her feeling so completely bewildered.
Yes, sometimes she felt a little sad that she couldn't be as outspoken as some of her other friends- vivacious like Rarity, a leader like Twilight, tough like Rainbow Dash, outgoing like Pinkie and honest like Applejack... but, there were so many other things that she could do, and her friends, both ponies and animals, loved her for who she was. Yes, she could always find happiness if she just focused on all the things she was really good at!
It was this thought that made her smile as she left the other ponies arguing about clouds.
