"Right over here, guys." Rainbow Dash said looking back to Mira and I. "C'mon, slow pokes!" She started kicking the rain clouds while I caught up with Mira.

"So, you're new on the job too, huh?" I asked her.

"Yeah..." She said very quietly.

"Well don't mind Dash. She's just eager to be done with the job. I'm sure we'll do fine on our first day." I said.

"Yeah..." Mira said quietly again.

I flew over to Dash and did a mocking salute. "What would you have us do, Ms. Rainbow Dash ma'am?"

Dash looked at me for a few seconds. "Seriously?" She said giggling.

"Hey, it's my first day, what did you expect from me?"

"I guess you're right." She looked over to Mira who had just flown up and took a spot next to me. "Okay, the key is to kick the cloud as hard as you can to make sure you get the whole thing." She demonstrated by dramatically rearing her back legs up and kicking a cloud into smithereens. "Now you two try it."

I flew over to a medium sized rain cloud and did my best to replicate Dash's actions. I brought my hind legs up, and kicked with all my might, obliterating the cloud.

"There you go, Flash." Dash said. "Now you, Mira."

Mira flew over to a larger rain cloud than mine was, brought her legs up, and smashed it into nothing.

Dash whistled. "That's some leg strength. Nice job."

"Thanks." Mira said with a slight smile.

"Alright, so we have this whole part of the sky to clear. It shouldn't take long so let's do this!" Dash said, and sped of, taking out three clouds in her path.

I followed her lead and took off in the other direction. I wasn't quite as skilled as Dash yet, so I took my time taking out my rain clouds. After I kicked through about seven, I was already beginning to get tired. These rain clouds were a lot tougher to get rid of than the rain clouds at the training course. I wiped the sweat off my brow and looked back to see Rainbow Dash speeding through clouds and Mira clearing out her clouds with ease. We were already about halfway done. I looked ahead toward my rain clouds and sped toward them.

I flew over to the closest one and kicked it, then immediately flew over to the next one. I continued to kick the clouds as I got to each one, determined to clear the sky. After about twenty clouds, I stopped and looked around. Part of the sky was completely clear. All except for one monster of a cloud that was roughly twenty feet away from me. I grinned to myself. "I got this."

I sped as fast as I could toward the last cloud. I flew faster than I ever had before, knowing I would need speed to clear the whole cloud in one kick. I flew faster and faster and faster until I was inches from the dark mass, and then-

CRACK

A searing pain tore through my snout as I tumbled backwards through the air.

"OWOWOWOWOWOWOWWW!!!!!" I screamed as I clutched my snout in my hooves. Through my hazy vision I could see them covered in blood. I closed my eyes and I could feel more blood flow out of my nose.

"Oh my goodness, oh my goodness, I am so sorry!" I heard a panicked voice say. I opened one eye to see Mira with her hooves up to her face. "I didn't know you were there, I'm so sorry!" Rainbow Dash rushed over to us.

"What happened?" She asked.

"We were both going for the same cloud and I didn't know he was there and I accidentally kicked him!" Mira said.

"It's okay, calm down." Dash said. She flew over to me. "Let me see."

I took my hooves away from my snout and let Dash look. Even with her gentle touch, I winced as she tilted my head to see the damage.

"Yeesh, that's a lot of blood." She said.

"I am so sorry, White Flash!" Mira said again.

"It's fine." Pain shot through my snout as I spoke.

"But I feel really bad." Mira said, looking down.

"It's okay, really-yowowow!" I said and clutched my snout as Dash suddenly let go.

"Yikes. Sorry." Dash said.

I held up a hoof and nodded.

"Well we need to get you to a doctor." Dash said.

"Shouldn't we check in with Bright Light first?" I asked, still holding my snout.

"Good idea. Can you fly there?"

"Yeah, I think so." I said.

"Well then let's hurry!" Mira said, and flew quickly in the direction of the weather pony building. Dash and I followed behind.

A few moments later, we arrived back at the building to see Bright Light standing in front. Rainbow Dash rushed over to her.

"Hey Bright Light, we got our part of the sky cleared, but Flash had a bit of an accident and we think he needs to see a doctor. Could we leave and just see you later for our pay?" Dash asked.

"Of course. Is he okay?" Bright Light asked.

"He should be fine. Just a little hoof on snout collision."

"Alright. You can find me back here tomorrow to get your pay."

Dash smiled. "Thanks." And flew into Ponyville while Mira and I followed.

A few minutes later, we landed in front of a clinic and walked in. Mira and I took a seat in the waiting room while Rainbow Dash spoke to the receptionist. The intense pain in my snout was reduced to a dull throb of pain, and the bleeding had stopped. Rainbow Dash walked in and took a seat next to me. "They'll call you in in a few minutes." She said. "How does it feel?"

"Better." I said.

Mira looked over to me. "I feel really bad about this. I hate to see ponies in pain. Especially knowing that I caused it."

"It's okay, really Mira. It was an accident." I said.

"Oh, I hope you're going to be okay." She said.

"He'll be fine, don't worry. It was just a little kick." Dash said.

Easy for you to say.

"White Flash." I heard a voice call. Dash and I got up while Mira stayed seated.

"I'll just stay here. I don't like hospitals. Tell me the news when you get back though." She said.

We walked out of the waiting room and were greeted by a brown unicorn stallion.

He smiled. "Hi there, White Flash. I'm Dr. Greene. I'll be taking care of you today. I'll just have you step into this room please." He said, pointing to a room with an opened door. Dash and I walked in and I took a seat on the bed. Dr. Greene walked in and closed the door. "So I understand your snout got messed up pretty bad huh?" He said.

I nodded, pointing to my blood caked snout.

"Okay. I'll have you lay down on the bed please."

I layed down while Dr. Greene searched through a drawer to get some kind of screen. He used his horn to levitate it above my head.

"Turn your head to the side please."

I turned my head and the screen lit up like it took a picture.

"Good." Dr. Greene took the screen and examined it, nodding to himself.

"What is it?" Dash asked.

"It seems White Flash has a fracture in the front of his snout." Dr. Greene said.

"Great." I sighed as I sat up.

"It's not as bad as it seems. This is probably the most manageable fracture you could've gotten. You are very lucky it wasn't worse."

"So what do we do now?" Dash asked.

"Well, I'll wrap it up, give you some painkiller, and send you on your way. It should heal up in a week or two." Dr. Greene said.

Dash smiled. "Great." She looked over to me. "At least it's not too bad."

"Yeah." I agreed.

Dr. Greene walked over me with a tightly wrapped roll of bandages. "Do you want me to clean off that blood for you?"

"Um, no thanks. I'll do that when I get home." I said.

Dr. Greene shrugged. "Suit yourself." He said, and unwrapped the bandages with his horn and started wrapping them around my snout. He wrapped my entire muzzle except for my jaw so I could still talk. Dr. Greene levitated the bandages back into the the drawer and brought out a bottle of pills.

"Take two of these every twelve hours to ease the pain." He said.

I took the bottle in my mouth and nodded.

"Thank you, Dr. Greene." Dash said.

"Oh it's no problem. Let me know if you need anything else."

Dash and I walked out back into the waiting room and were instantly greeted by Mira.

"What's the news? Is it broken? Did they have to cut it off?" She asked quickly.

"He's fine." Rainbow Dash said, and put her arm around me. "It's just a small fracture. It'll be healed in a few weeks."

Mira sighed in relief. "Thank Celestia. I was so worried." She looked over to me. "I promise I'll make this up to you somehow."

"Oh you don't have to do that." I said.

"I know, but I just feel like I should." Mira said.

"It's okay, Mira. You don't have to do anything." Dash said.

"Well...okay. I guess I'll see you two around then. Get better soon, White Flash." Mira said.

"See you around." Dash and I said. Mira walked out the door of the clinic and flew off.

"Well that was exciting." I said sarcastically.

"Oh, come on, it wasn't that bad was it?" Dash said.

"Yes. It was." I said.

Dash looked sympathetic. "Well, I'm sorry, Flash. Are you still in the mood to do something with me?" She asked, giving me adorable puppy dog eyes.

I smiled. "Of course."

Dash's face changed to a bright smile. "Great!"

"Can we go home first? I think I need some of this painkiller. And I don't really want to go anywhere with a bloody snout." I said.

"Sure. Let's go." She said, and we walked out of the clinic together and flew toward her cloud house.

Well today was crap. Maybe whatever Dash has planned will cheer me up.
