My Time in Equestria
Chapter 14: 14. Weather Assignments
Previous Chapter Next ChapterI walked down the stone path toward the weather pony building so I could be ready to clear the skies. It was still about forty minutes until three, but I continued anyway. It's not like I had anything else to do. As I walked I felt a few raindrops hit the top of my head. I looked up and saw that the skies were a gloomy dark gray.
Clearing this up is going to take a while.
Despite the gloomy mood, I couldn't help but smile at my current situation. It's been four days and I still couldn't believe I was in Equestria. I walked until I arrived at the familiar building that had some pegasi, including Bright Light, standing in front and socializing. I walked over to her and she turned to me.
"Ah, White Flash! There you are. I was worried you would be late on your first day. I hired a lot of pegasus ponies for this job and not many have showed up yet." She said, pointing to the five pegasus ponies talking with each other.
"Well we don't start until three, right?" I asked.
"Yeah, but I like to start early. I don't know about you, but I'd like to have the rest of the day off relaxing in the beautiful weather we're about to make." She said.
I chuckled. "Yep."
Well, I guess my assumption about all pegasi being lazy has been true so far. I walked over to the building to see a piece of paper that appeared to be the weather schedule hanging on the door. The week was scheduled to be sunny until Wednesday.
I wonder where we'll get the rain clouds. You never really think about these kinds of things until it's your job to do it.
I turned around and was greeted by a smiling face.
"Hey Flash!" Rainbow Dash said, her face about an inch from mine.
I smiled. "Hey Dash, how is it going?"
"Not bad. Have fun with your friends?" She asked.
"Eh, they weren't feeling too well." I said, trying not to laugh as I remembered Spark vomiting his guts out on the sidewalk.
"Aw, well that stinks. Don't worry, I'll make it up to you by showing you my awesome sky clearing skills."
I smiled. "Alright then, but remember, I got the fastest time anypony has ever done on the training course. I might show you a thing or two."
She smiled. "You're on."
We talked for a while and watched the other pegasi arrive little by little until there was a sizable crowd of about twenty or so. Eventually, Bright Light got everypony's attention and started talking.
"Alright everypony, listen up!" She started, "As you can see, we've got quite a mess to clean up, so let's do this thing organized, professional, and fast. I have groups picked out for different portions of the sky." Bright Light listed off several groups of different pegasi for different places, Northern Ponyville, Ponyville outskirts, and other locations. Eventually she said the last group. "And the last group is Rainbow Dash, White Flash, and Mira. You three will clear the Southwestern part of Ponyville." She looked to Rainbow Dash. "Make sure you teach these two the ropes."
"Will do!" Dash said.
Bright Light nodded. "Alright everypony, we get this done quick, we can all go home early. When we're done, come back here for your pay." All of the pegasus ponies dispersed to their assigned areas except for one light pink mare with a flower in her curly yellow mane with the same styled tale. Rainbow Dash walked over to her.
"I'm guessing you're Mira?" She asked. The pegasus nodded in response. "Well it's nice to meet you! This is White Flash." Dash said, pointing to me. I smiled awkwardly and waved to her. She did the same. "He's new too. Don't worry about your first day, I'll make sure you get the hang of everything." Mira smiled and Dash hovered in the air. "Well, let's not waste time, let's do this!" She said, and took off toward our assigned area. Mira slowly took off after her.
Well, time to get some money. I said, and took off after the two pegasi.
