(Apologies for the wall o' text in advance. And I apologize for the sappiness!)
Sky Rocket lay on a cloud near Cloudsdale, watching other pegasus pass by. He was thinking about something, a thing that although he would never truly admit to others, but nonetheless was on his mind."
"I wonder if there is anypony out there to be best friends with?" He had met many ponies: unicorns, pegasi, even earth ponies. While Sky had many adventures, he seemed the friendship connection was not there just yet. He figured his best friend would be a pegasus from Cloudsdale. He didn't want to leave his home, and he was unsure about a long distance friendship with ponies from say Ponyville or Canterlot.
The only pegasus he knew of the most was Rainbow Dash. He wondered if it would work out being friends since they had similar interests. But who knows if the two of them would be too competitive with each other!
"Why is it so hard to find a best friend," Sky said as he watched. "There must be some pony to pal around with."

As Rainbow Dash flew along the skypath from Cloudsdale, she noticed a rather sad looking pegasus on a nearby cloud. Now, usually, she would've let him be and taken a nap on her favorite fluffy cloud, but coincidentally he was just occupying said piece of floating furniture. Oh well, a bit of smalltalk in the afternoon isn't going to hurt. She flew over to the white pegasus. "Hey there, what's up?"

Sky was surprised by the fact that somepony actually did notice him. Then again it's hard to miss a pegasus with fiery hair! But what surprised him even more was the fact that it was Rainbow Dash, the pony he thought it would be nice meeting...
He tried opening his mouth but nothing came out. He never had this happen! He wasn't shy. He was blowing his chance of meeting a new pony, possibly a best friend. He gathered his courage. After he was Sky Rocket, epic stunt pony!
"Hey, Rainbow Dash! What's up? Sorry I kind of had my head in the clouds, I was thinking about something."

A bright smile appeared on Rainbow Dash's face when the other pegasus adressed her by name. Everypony knows me by now, I'm getting almost as famous as the Wonderbolts! "So you're one of my fans, huh? Speaking of clouds, would you mind sliding over a bit?"

Sky slid over allowing for the filly to sit. He was a bit shocked at being called merely a 'fan.' "Heh, I'm surprised you don't know me. I am after all one of the best stunt flyers in Cloudsdale,' Sky said with a smile. Yes, Sky was never good at being subtle, but he was hoping that Rainbow Dash at least heard of him. He hoped she knew him, otherwise this would turn awkward very quickly.

Tailwind had just finished practicing when he noticed a pony he considered his hero and at the same time rival. The legendary, Rainbow Dash, only pony to ever pull off the sonic rainboom, twice. But he would soon have his name go down in history beside hers. His new trick, the cyclone buster was sure to get her to notice him. He hated to admit it but dash was not only his idol but he was also deeply infatuated with her, not to mention he saw her as his biggest competition into getting into the wonderbolts. With a few wide flaps he landed on a cloud beside her and the other fiery maned pony. "well I must say its an honor to meet the notorious Rainbow Dash at last." Tailwind hoped that she had heard of him as well. boundbytheblade.deviantart.com/art/my-brony-244859532Attachments:

Rainbow dash got comfortable on the cloud next to the white pegasus. "Oh really?" She responded to his introduction "Well, maybe we should fly a few laps together somewhen. But I'm warning you, I don't slow down for rookies." Before the other pony could respond, however, another pegasus landed on a cloud next to the two and started talking to Rainbow Dash, who promptly leaned back in the cloud, crossing her front hooves behind her head. "Yeah, sorry. Autographs Monday through Wednesday, nine to five only." She casually muttered, her grin becoming even wider.

Sky noticed before he could answer Rainbow Dash the other pony that landed near them. He was larger that Sky, but that didn't impress the fiery maned pony. I didn't matter what a pony looked like, it was how they used the talents they had and the courage they possessed. "Hello there," Sky said, "Nice of you to join us on this cloud. The more pegesai the merrier I guess. By the way, I'm Sky Rocket. So, what's your name?"
Sky then smiled and quickly turned to her saying, "Hey any time you want to fly, I'm game. In fact that I was think about when you saw me. And I guess I should warn you that I'm no rookie colt just out of flight school. I can fly circles around most pegesai!" He wanted to get out a response quickly, or else it might seem like he was not interested in her offer.

Dash's quick dismissal of him really gut under tailwind's pride. Before responding to her he responded to the other stallion, "the name's tailwind! And I may not be the most slender pegasai but I'm sure as celestia the strongest!" he stood tall revealing himself to be indeed very large, it was like big Macintosh sprouted wings. His well defined muscles made his form even bulkier. He smother at dash and responded to her "And FYI rainbow, you should be asking for my autograph, cause you may be the fasted pegusus in equestria but I'm the strongest. I even invented a move that's too much for you to pull off that will stand right beside the sonic rainboom in the history books!" he was confident but he was ready to deliver.

Somewhere away from the gang, Cosmos looped around in the air and landed on the clouds, never feeling more alive. She just returned from a routine visit to Ponyville to see her parents and see what Gloria had made for her, and she was surprised to note that she had a lot of things she created, including a repaired space helmet. Her last expedition to view a comet up close ended up with a few grazes on the helmet caused by bits of comet breaking off, to which she sped back down to Equestria as fast as she could. If there was going to be a lot, she would be severely hurt, maybe even killed because of it. But now she had no worries, as the helmet was repaired and even strengthened.
Out of the corner of her eye, she thought she could see two pegasi colts sitting with Rainbow Dash, who was somewhat famous around Cloudsdale. A wave of jealousy swept over Cosmos. What's that pony got that I ain't got? She prided herself in endurance over speed, which she had truckloads of. Sure, Rainbow Dash could be speedy, but she wondered if she could get above the atmosphere in seconds and not get tired. And whilst Dash was capable of the Sonic Rainboom, she wondered if any of her skills could apply to exploring outer space. This thought intrigued her, and she stayed to hover a few yards near the cloud. Once the colts were done with their talk, she could try and see if it was in the blue pegasus' interests to join her.

The pegasus that introduced himself as Tailwind had really piqued Rainbow Dash's interest. In one quick jump she was back on her hooves. "Oh, really?" she replied to him, exchanging a quick glance with the fiery maned pegasus next to her. "How about you show us this "great move" right now, buddy? Or do you need to warm your little wingsies up first?" A move as awesome as my Sonic Rainboom? Ridiculous. I think he really means it, though...

Sky smiled as Rainbow Dash gave a glance at him. He knew she was thinking the same thing as him. Sky had dealt with cocky pegesai before. While he was not a fast pony, Sky could out maneauver many ponies through his agility and stunts. Sky also knew that Tailwind made a bad mistake claiming that his move was better that Rainbow Dash's Sonic Rainboom. "Alright, Tailwind," Sky said as he stood up, "You talk alot about how strong you are, but actions speak louder than words. Let's see your stunt, and put your words to action."
Sky then saw light blue pegasus hovering nearby. Perhaps she was shy, or that she didn't want to interrupt. Either way, Sky wanted more ponies to join. After all he was barely expecting one pony to show up, let along now three. "Hey there," he shouted to the pegasus, "come on over and stay for awhile."

Cosmos cocked her ear to the white pegasus, somewhat surprised by his offer. Whilst they were fawning over Rainbow Dash, they wanted her to join in. Well, she was quite a remarkable filly after all, and when they will realise Rainbow Dash was out of their league, there will be only her. Not like she'd really give them a chance. No, the admiration was enough for her.
"Oh, sure! I had some stuff to try on and away, but there's time for that later!" the dirty-blue pegasus pony explained before fluttering over to Dash's trademark cloud. She could recognise it from a mile away. She said no more as she sat beside Sky, quite amused by Tailwind's boasting.

Tailwind flapped his wings calmly raising off the cloud easily, his wingspan was quite large. "little wingsies eh dash? i'll show you just how hot these feathers of mine are. You two better be ready to eat your words. Now hold on to your feathers!" With that Tailwind took off with a hard flap. It took him a bit of time to pick up speed but he flew in a spiral building a small whirlwind. It seemed like nothing at first. Any pegasus could make a whirlwind, but this one was different. It got stronger, and larger and more ferocious with each passing second. The wind inside the twister started to howl as it grew in size into a full tornado. The wild twister was starting to tug the surrounding clouds into it but something was wrong... tailwind wasn't driving the wind anymore! The cyclone had become so strong that it was now completely independent of Tailwind's pull. He flew higher and dove into the eye of the tornado. Once he reached the heart of the twister Tailwind took a deep breath before snapping his wings forward in a mighty clap and a war cry to bolster his strength. The sheer force of his wings created a gust from within the cyclone, blasting it apart in all directions with a gale force tempest. The blast was so strong that the cloud upon which the three pegusai sat was forced back several yards. After the howling winds of the blast had passed all was calm and Tailwind hovered in that same spot flapping to maintain his position with a satisfied smirk on his face and a bead of sweat on his brow. "And that my fair ponies... Is the Cyclone Buster!"

Rainbow Dash was stunned by Tailwind's move. For a second, she just sat on her cloud - the gust of wind had thrown her on her flank without her even noticing - and stared at the blue pegasus. After the initial surprise, she was the first of the three bystanders to get her bearings back - or at least to visibly show it. She shook her head to get her windswept hair back into it's normal condition of unkempt and stood back up. She put on her usual condescending smile, hoping nopony would notice how intimidated she really was by Tailwind's abilities. "That was pretty nice, but nowhere near my Sonic Rainboom. Right, guys?"
