Sky looked up at Rainbow Dash. He was amazed that she was even taking the time of day for him after him getting angry. But it was then that Sky saw another side of her, that of compassion. She talked to him, cared for him, and took the effort to want to make things right.
"That would be, nice," Sky said as he wiped the tears away from his eyes with his hoof in response of Rainbow asking for every pony to get to know each other. "I'm sorry that I yelled at you Rainbow Dash, and sorry everypony that I was cold to all of you. I can get a bit hot headed sometimes." He sat up and gave a warm welcoming smile to the other ponies. He knew he had alot to learn still of making friends, but as Rainbow Dash said, getting to know a pony was the first step towards friendship. "So who wants to share something about themselves so that we can get to know each other?"

((sorry it took me so long))
Tailwind looked to the brown and pink maned mare and cracked a soft smile, "its fine, so what sort of research do you do?" tailwind hadnt noticed the conversation going on between rainbow dash and sky rocket. He was lost in his own thoughts and doubts in regards to dash's response to his feelings, as well as engrossed in what cosmos had said.

(It's kay)
Cosmos lifted her head up from the refuge in her hoof, surprised that Tailwind was actually quite interested in what she said to him. She kept her face smiling at him whilst one ear instinctively turned towards Sky Rocket and Rainbow Dash, realising that they were pretty much talking about the same thing. They wanted to know about her. Spill all. They're genuinely interested, her mind instructed her. She was happy that all of the pegasi wanted to know about her and what she was great at.
She trotted over towards Sky and Rainbow, expecting Tailwind to follow, and in a slightly louder voice: "Well, I'm an astronomer. I am quite a high flyer, and I have special contraptions that can help me survive in space so I can study it and explore it. Space is so fun, and the lack of gravity makes it so much easier to fly!" She hoped that starting off with the basics, somewhat to help garner interest towards her studies to make it sound less boring than just reading a few books and flying into space, making notes about what she saw, just as a hobby.

Rainbow Dash let out a relieved sigh. For once she was glad that the attention had shifted away from her. She listened to the light blue mare speaking. Rainbow Dash tilted her head, completely confused by the other pegasus' iterations. After she was finished, Rainbow Dash bombarded her with questions. "So you just fly straight up, where it's really cold and hard to breathe? Can you go touch the stars, or the moon? And what do you mean by "no gravity"? ...oh, by the way, I didn't quite catch your name..." she added, slightly embarassed that she hadn't even noticed up to now.

Sky listened to the pony's explanation about flying through the stars. He wondered what it would be like sailing through the sky like that.
"Well, I don't know much of space. I'm a stunt pony! While I cant fly very fast, I can do tricks like sommersaults, barrel rolls, loops, lots of things! I'm always looking for the next big stunt I can pull off."

Tailwind heard the explanation but it really made no sense to him. space didn't sound that great. No wind and no air pressure would make his strength next to useless. "That sounds cool and all but i think i'll stay down here, no air pressure makes it hard for me do any of my power tricks. so i'm siding with sky rocket on this one."

A grin formed on Cosmos' face, blinking her dark-red eyes a few times. As hard as it was to believe, she was sitting around with three other pegasi, one the famous Rainbow Dash, and they wanted to know about what she did for a living. All the others who normally talked to her were bored out of ther skulls, but not these ponies! She didn't expect these many questions about her occupation.
"Yeah, sorta like that, but I have heated suits and helmets to help me breathe," Cosmos explained, sliding off her saddlebags which had the helmet inside, plus a few other things. She pulled the helmet off and rubbed it a bit before handing it to Rainbow Dash. "With things like this, I can survive and make most of space. As for touching stars, I can't really do that yet. Especially considering that from what I've read, they're usually hot balls of gas. I tried to visit the moon once or twice and look around, but I haven't got a good contraption that can launch me into space yet."
Thaaaaat's enough, her mind warned her. She just rambled on and on, and nopony was interested in a rambler. Nopony. She then stood up and nodded her head. "As for my name, my name is Shining Cosmos. But please, call me Cosmos."

Rainbow Dash took the helmet from Shining Cosmos knocked on it's smooth surface a couple of times. She gave the blue mare a short questioning look, and then, before the latter could say anything, put the glass bowl over her head with a wide grin. "What do I look like? A space traveller?" She said, jumping up on her back hooves and pointing towards the sky. "To infinity - and beyond!" Rainbow Dash chuckled. She had almost forgotten about the uncomfortable situation moments ago.

Sky tried to hold in the laughter when Rainbow Dash put on the helmet. But when she uttered the line, Sky couldn't take it! He began to laugh so hard he almost fell off the cloud! "Oh my gosh! That was so funny! Getting dizzy... can't breathe..." He collapsed onto the cloud in a quivering giggling mess.

tailwind was laughing so hard that his stomach hurt until he to was struck with an idea. "hey cosmos if you ever do get to the moon try this out...this is one small step for pony one giant leap for pony kind!" as he said this tailwind took one step to the edge of the cloud then as the last part of his statement was made he fell off the cloud and looped around landing on the other side.

Shining Cosmos was quite happy with the other ponies laughing with her. Sure, her hobby was a lot more complicated than just flying out into space and quoting famous lines, but at least somepony was taking an interest in what she did.
With all the ponies joking around, Cosmos was laughing along too with Sky Rocket and Rainbow Dash, until Tailwind fell off the cloud, but once he landed, she was back to laughing again. "Stop you guys! I'm gonna run out of breath at this rate!" she cried hysterically, holding her belly and chortling. She needed to calm down. Using her wings, she sat herself up and breathed heavily, wiping a tear away from her eye with her hoof.
"Well, I remembered hearing about the story of Nightmare Moon, and what I thought I would do when I go to the moon is look around and see if there are any interesting things she left during her millenium-long banishment," Cosmos explained her next mission.
"Though the moon's quite far, and I never stay for that long. However, if I were to catapult myself into the sky like Rainbow Dash did before, I'd have such a fun time! Sadly, I'm not fast at all," she admitted, holding her arm and looking down before smiling approvingly at Rainbow Dash. This was what she wanted after all, to have Rainbow Dash help her with her space travel. Who knows? Maybe if she asked Gloria nicely, she could make her a space suit if she really wanted it.

"Going to the moon sounds awesome!" Rainbow Dash said and pulled the helmet off her head. At first, it got stuck on her snout, but after the application of a little more force, it gave way with a loud "plop". She gave the glass bowl back to it's owner and rubbed her slightly hurting snout. "Hmm, you need more speed you say?" She replied, pausing for a second to think. "I can get pretty fast, but you'd need way more acceleration for something like that, too..." She looked around for a bit, when suddenly her gaze met Tailwind. "Hey, I know! The bulky blue bomber here could help me- us!" Her triumphant grin turned into an uncomfortable smile when she noticed she had left out Sky Rocket yet again. "And we could use somepony to... uh... light us the way! Space is pretty dark, right?"

Sky thought about flying through space with the other pegesai. "Heh, yeah I could light the way in space while performing some awesome aerial moves in zero gravity!" He could picture it now: Sky Rocket, Space Stunt Pony!
