It turned out that I may had messed up on something. Sure, the universes were saved, Vesper fully existed and I'd had a good drink, but there was something I'd forgotten about:

Discord.

The Draconequus has sent me there in the first place.

The Draconequus that hadn't been recaptured after I had freed him.

It was because of this that Vesper and I had to search the country for a few days to try and find him. After our inevitable failure, Vesper picked up Watcher from Canterlot and we all went back to Ponyville. It was glad to see the place without an overwhelming amount of dick everywhere. The three of us landed just outside of the library and I opened the door, allowing us to go inside.

As usual, the place was a complete mess. Books and papers were scattered everywhere while Spike and Toasty attempted to clean them up. Spike looked up from what he was doing as he heard the door close.

"Cloud!" He exclaimed in surprise. "You're back!"

"Hey, Spike," I greeted. Vesper dragged Watcher down into the basement and shut the door behind her.

"Where have you been?!"

"Seriously? I'm gone for over a week and nopony decided to ask Celestia?" I sighed and facehoofed. "Basically it went like this; Vesper almost erased herself from time so I had to go to an alternate universe to have sex with myself, but then the government hatched a plan to go back in time and reclaim the Elements of Harmony so I had to beat them first and save both universes from destruction, then I came back and realized that I'd set Discord free so Vesper and I went looking for him but couldn't find him, so we just came back to let Celestia deal with it. Any questions?"

"Uh..."

"So where's Twilight?"

"She's, uh, helping Rainbow Dash with something at the park. An alternate universe?"

"Okay. I'm gonna go catch up and whatever. See you later." I went back outside and started walking to the park.

Twilight, Rainbow and almost all of the Pegasi in Ponyville were at the park's racetrack. Twilight was messing around with a fan while Rainbow, who was wearing a cap, went back and forth between the Pegasi and saying stuff I couldn't hear. Cloud Chaser and Flitter walked up to Twilight. I was now close enough to hear them.

"What exactly does this machine do?" Asked Cloud Chaser. Damn my brain for being too tired to think up a pun about our first names being the same...

"This is an anemometer," explained Twilight. "It measures your accelerative velocity and translates it into wing power, thus gauging your cumulative H2O anti-gravitational potential." The two sisters looked as confused as before. "Any other questions?" I was right next to them, so I stopped walking.

"Yeah," said Flitter, turning to me. "What exactly does this machine do?"

"It's a speed measure-y thing," I replied. Twilight looked up in surprise at the sound of my voice.

"Cloud?!" Exclaimed Twilight.

"What?" Asked Cloud Chaser.

"No, not you! You!" She pointed at me.

"Me?" Asked a voice from behind me. I turned to see Cloud Kicker.

"No!"

"Me?" Asked Cotton Cloudy from the right.

"No! Why are there so many Ponies here called Cloud?!"

"I guess this place is..." I said, putting on sunglasses, "Cloudy." I could literally hear crickets. "I'm tired, okay?" The cloud crowd went back to what they were doing before.

"Where have you been?! What happened to Vesper?! Is she okay?! Why are your puns worse than usual?!"

"One; I'll tell you later. Two; I'll tell you later. Three; yeah. Four; I'm tired from searching for Discord."

"What do you mean searching for Discord?" Twilight gasped. "Is he free?!" Dammit. "What happened?!" I raised a hoof to tell her to shut up.

"Just..." I sighed. "I'll tell you when I tell the others. I don't want to explain everything over and over."

"Cloud!" Exclaimed Rainbow who'd finally spotted me. I waved to her as she flew over to Twilight and I.

"Hey, Rainbow."

"You're back! What happened with what's-her-name?"

"Vesper's fine, I'll tell you the whole story later. So what's going on with all this? Is there a race or something?" Rainbow suddenly looked excited.

"No, even better! Cloudsdale has chosen Ponyville's water reservoir for this year's rainwater!"

"What?"

"Basically it works like this: Cloudsdale makes clouds filled with rain for-"

"Aren't all clouds filled with rain since they're made of evaporated water?"

"Yeah, but these are magic rain clouds with extra water."

"If you say so."

"As I was saying: Cloudsdale makes clouds filled with rain for all of Equestria and-"

"What about the rest of Magi?"

"What?"

"Do they only make magic clouds for Equestria?"

"Well... Yeah, but other countries have their own cloud manufacturers."

"Oh, right."

"Anyway: Cloudsdale makes clouds filled with rain for all of Equestria and every year they need to collect more, so they choose a water reservoir and-"

"Wouldn't taking it from one place at a time be really inefficient and unbalance the amounts of water in each area?"

"No, they cycle through the different places which balances it out."

"I suppose if they did it well enough it could work..."

"As I was trying to say: Cloudsdale makes clouds filled with rain for all of Equestria and every year they need to collect more, so they choose a water reservoir and use a tornado to suck up the water up to-"

"Wouldn't it be more efficient to just expose the water to more heat than everywhere else and take it up as basic clouds?"

"Let me finish, damn it!"

"All right, jeez!"

"Cloudsdale makes clouds filled with rain for all of Equestria and every year they need to collect more, so they choose a water reservoir and use a tornado to suck up the water up to the weather factory. This year they chose Ponyville's water, so the Ponyville Pegasi have to make the torna-"

"Wouldn't it be better to have a special crew for making the tornado?"

"Gah! Forget it!" Rainbow flew off. Nailed it.

I stuck around for a while to watch everypony test their wing power. After a while, I had an idea: If a Unicorn powered up with a Support Circle and became stronger with their casting magic for a short time, would a Pegasus powered up with one become stronger with their flight magic and, if so, how much? I discussed the idea with Twilight for a little while before asking Rainbow if I could test it on her, which she said I could.

She stood ready at the starting line of the racetrack and nodded to me. I nodded back and summoned a Support Circle, powering her up. If the look on her face wasn't enough to know she felt it, the Majistamp style glow in her wings was. She shot off of the starting line, flying past the speed measure-y thing with almost enough wind built up to knock it over. She skidded to a halt as I went to see what the reading was. That's probably a high number. I have no idea if that's good or not.

"That was awesome!" Exclaimed Rainbow as she trotted over to me. "I was like a blade of wind!"

"That makes no sense," I pointed out. ...But it does give me an idea for a new Arcane Circle...

"I don't care! That was bucking awesome! How fast was I?!"

"Forty nine point five." Everypony looked shocked. "Is that a lot?"

"Cloud, her normal reading is sixteen point five," Twilight explained. Wow, that's a big increase.

"Oh. Cool. Well, I'm gonna go and sleep for a while." I teleported to- Gah! Rainbow tackled me to the floor before I could finish teleporting, cutting the spell off entirely. I glared at her. "What was that for?!"

"If you did that to everypony here, we could beat the wing power record easily!" Exclaimed Rainbow.

"Yeah, and you would also be cheating."

"It's not cheating! There aren't any rules against it!"

"It's the equivalent of magic steroids!"

"So?!"

"So what if something goes wrong?! There wouldn't be any Pegasi to stop the tornado because they'd all be tired from the SC Boost!"

"What good's all your magic if you can't even stop a simple tornado?!"

"It wouldn't be 'just a simple tornado', it would be an SC Tornado!"

"How does that change anything?!"

"It changes it because it would be powered up with some of my most powerful magic!"

"You would still be able to stop it! You said it yourself; you're much more powerful than a normal Unicorn!"

"Which only makes it worse!"

"No it doesn't!"

"Yes it does! If I'm more powerful, then the tornado my magic powered up would be more powerful!"

"Uh, guys?" Asked Twilight. "How long are you going to be lying like that?" Rainbow and I both looked down in confusion to realize that she was still lying on top of me, and we were both in... Suggestive positions. Rainbow quickly flew off with a blush as I quickly flipped myself onto my hooves with telekinesis. "How did you not notice that?"

"I-It was the heat of the argu- I mean-! That-! That sounded worse than I meant!"

"Y-Yeah!" Stammered Rainbow. "We were just...! Shut up, Twilight!"

"I think we should finish this discussion later."

"Agreed." Twilight grinned evilly.

"Somewhere more private?" She asked.

"Yeah!"

"Where you won't disturbed?"

"Ye- No!" I exclaimed. "It- We just- Gah! Goodbye!" I quickly teleported back to the library before I could say something that I'd regret. Stupid Twilight and her stupid stupidness... Rainbow and I would never- Ugh, screw this. I'm going to bed. And then I should think more about that new Circle...
