Ryan was walking through Cloudsdale, the bracelet giving him the ability to touch/walk on clouds, Tank the Tortoise tucked under his arm. He had just picked up Tank from an appointment with Fluttershy, and used Twilight's hot air balloon to take him home. "Not long now Tank." the teen said, coming upon Rainbow's cloud castle, now including a bridge since Ryan didn't have wings. "You'll be with RD soon." Ryan knocked on the door. "RAINBOW DASH!" he called. "I'VE GOT TANK FOR YA!" Rainbow Dash opened the door.
"Hey Ryan!" She said. "Thanks for being Tank back for me."
"Heads up though." Ryan warned as he handed over the tortoise. "Tank's been yawning all trip. I think he's getting ready for hibernation."
"I'll keep that in mind. Rainbow Dash assured the human. "Thanks again!" The pegasus brought Tank inside and closed the door.
"I'M BEING SERIOUS!" Ryan shouted, trying to get his voice to reach Rainbow, who he assumed had zoomed up to her room. Later, he saw RD out walking with Tank at her side. "You sure you're letting Tank do what he needs to do?" The teen asked, noticing Tank was slower than he had been last time the human and tortoise had been together.
"I'm positive." Rainbow Dash said as she smiled.
"Okaaaaay." Ryan said, giving the pegasus the benefit of the doubt. "Guess I'll see you later." he started walking away. "Bye Tank." he added. "Don't let her work you too hard." Later, however, Ryan had had enough. He knew what he had to do. He visited RD and, using the idea that he left something at Fluttershy's and asking her to get it, ran upstairs, scooped up Tank, and ran outside and back to Ponyvile. What he didn't realize was that that he had undone Tank's propeller, and it had fallen onto the floor. When she found out, Rainbow was furious! She confronted the teenage human, correctly assuming he had something to do with Tank missing.
"Ryan! What are you doing with Tank?!" the pegasus asked angrily, eventually cornering him in a park, Tank under his arm. the teenager sighed.
"Rainbow Dash, you need to let Tank go for now." he said. "His biology won't change, even if you wanted it to. He needs to hibernate. If you want to cry, it's okay, but just let Tank do what he needs to do."
Rainbow Dash fidgeted in anger. But then she sighed and quietly said "Ok Ryan." Silent tears slid down her face, and dripped onto the ground. the human patted her head, then put Tank down. The tortoise started to dig into the ground. "See ya later buddy." the teen said. Tank gave him a smile, and then completely buried himself. "We'll miss you." he added. Ryan saluted the spot where Tank had buried himself, sighed, then walked away. 'Rainbow's gonna cry three whole waterfalls over this.' he thought. 'Guess I can't blame her. Though I've got an idea on how to cheer her up.' Later on, when the snow fell, Ryan bundled up in his at-last-ready new hoodie, and new pants, from Rarity, and visited Cloudsdale. When he got passed the weather factory, he suddenly remembered his plan for RD, and decided to be more abrupt. Sneaking into the building and putting on his gloves, Ryan nicked some snow from the machine, and left. then, encasing the snow in a cold cloud, he went to RD's. "SURPRISE!" he cried, throwing the cloud-and-snowball combo in her face when she answered the door.
"Hey!" Rainbow Dash laughed, shaking the snow out of her mane and off her muzzle.
"LAST ONE TO PONYVILE GETS PELTED WITH SNOWBALLS!" Ryan shouted, running back towards the balloon. Rainbow Dash quickly zoomed down to Ponyville….or at least she would have. "Oops, almost forgot." Ryan said. "NO FLYING FAST BECAUSE OF THE BALLOON!" he shouted, hoping Dash heard him. Rainbow Dash groaned and flew at normal pace. Ryan and RD both reached Ponyville at the same time. PIFFT! Ryan flinched as a snowball hit his face. Rainbow Dash pointed her hoof at Ryan, laughing hysterically. "You asked for it!" he said, smirking. The teen rolled up a giant snowball, and grabbed RD.
"Hahaha- Hey!" Rainbow's laugh was interrupted when the teen grabbed her. PIFFT! Ryan plopped RD flankfirst into the giant ball of snow. Rainbow Dash was laughing hysterically, and so was the teen. The duo soon had a snowball fight, and they were both happy. Tank would've been proud.
