Jake slammed the door to the apartment room as soon as he got in. “What the hell Cam? You just left me there by myself!
You don’t just leave someone when they need help.”

“Oh, come on. You didn’t need me there. Besides, you look like you were able to save yourself.” Cameron said calmly.

“Here, have a piece of the cake I bought.”

“You left me in a horribly awkward situation just to buy a cake?”

“Yep.”

“Screw you.” Jake said as he took a piece. “Anyway, I got a job now, err, at least I think I do.”

“What is it?”

“Well, after you abandoned me, Rainbow Dash asked me to help the other weather ponies with the celebration they’re having in few weeks. If I do well enough, I’ll get a permanent job as a weather pony.”

“Don’t mess this up.” Cameron said seriously.

“You know, I was just thinking of messing up horribly. Thanks for the tip.” Jake joked.

“Whatever. After I finish this cake I’m going to bed.”

Jake realized that it was getting dark. “You don’t seriously expect me to believe that right after you finish an entire cake, you’re going to fall asleep?”

“You know it.”

“Good luck with that.” Jake said. To be honest, I think he might actually be able to do it.

The Next Morning…

Jake instantly awoke to the feeling of being shaken by someone. He opened his eyes and saw that it was Rainbow Dash.

“Aaa!” he yelped, “How did you get in my room?”

“Facade let me in.” Rainbow replied coolly. “Anyway, it’s time to get started!”

“On what?” Jake asked.

“On your training for the Summer Sun Celebration.”

Jake would have liked nothing more than to lie back onto his bed and fall asleep.

“Come on, lazy bones.” Dash said as she pulled him out of bed. Jake hit the ground in a painful THUMP.

“Fine, I’m coming.”

It took the two of them ten seconds to reach their destination, a large mass of clouds overhead of a small lake.

“Alright. First part of your training is to learn how to make clouds rain.”

“Okay then.” Jake said as he flew on top of the nearest cloud. “So I just hop on it, right?”

“See for yourself.” Rainbow said smiling.

Jake had seen Rainbow Dash perform this feat on the TV show. All she did was hop on it.
Straight forward enough.

However, Jake’s first attempt was met with failure, as no water came out. He tried to jump on it a little harder and fell straight through the cloud.

I guess I’m going to have to do a “medium” kind of jump.

Jake tried and failed multiple times before he finally was able to get a small amount of water.

“Now hop faster.” Rainbow ordered.

“Easier said than done.” Jake muttered. He tried for minutes and finally found a balance between speed and power. “I did it!”

“It took you long enough.” Rainbow said as she rolled her eyes.

“What’s next?”

The next few hours were spent on various things such as chasing down clouds and causing lightning. Jake surprisingly was not tired in the slightest.

“Well, that is just about it.” Rainbow said.

“Great, I was getting bored.”

“You’re full of it.”

“No, I’m just that awesome.” Jake retorted smugly.

“I bet you’re not awesome enough to beat me in a race.”

Oh, it is on now, Jake thought, for no person, or pony for that matter, could ever beat him in a straight forward race. "You're on."

“Race you to Sugarcube Corner on the count of three.” Rainbow said. “One…”

I got this, Jake thought, no one’s faster than me. Not back home or here.

“Twothree!” Rainbow said quickly, catching Jake off guard. She zoomed off towards town.

“Cheater!” Jake said angrily. He caught up with Dash rather fast. She noticed him from the corner of her eye and tried to gain speed. However, Jake was closing in fast. I am not going to lose to you. Rainbow thought.

“Cheaters never prosper!” Jake yelled as he zoomed past. He landed at the doorstep of Sugarcube Corner a solid two seconds before Rainbow Dash.

“I lost…” she whispered.

“Don’t be so hard on yourself.” Jake said. He actually felt sorry for her. An idea popped inside of his head.

“Give me a rematch!”

“Maybe later. I need to check up on Facade.” Jake said calmly as he walked inside.

Business was booming. Word had spread across town of the new cupcake creations Cameron was making. In truth, he had no idea what he was doing that made them so special. After some struggling, Jake managed to get to the kitchen.

“Wow. How’s it going, Iron Chef?” Jake joked.

“Fine. Leave me alone. I’m busy.” He said as he closed an oven door.

“Dude, I need some money.”

“You sound like one of those homeless guys.’

“Whatever, what I’m trying to say is that I want money to take Rainbow out for dinner.”

“Dude, you’re not seriously in love with a pony are you? Next thing I know, you want to date my goldfish.”

“Shut up! That’s not what I meant!” Jake exclaimed. He felt his face get red.

“What did you mean?”

“I beat her in a race and she’s either sad, mad, or a combination of the two.”

Cameron scoffed. “You never could stand the fact that not everyone likes you.”

“It’s a lesson I’m learning the hard way. Now, hand me some cash.”

“There’s some under the cabinet. Get it and get out.”

“Thanks, I’ll pay you back.”

Jake left the building and searched around town for Rainbow Dash. If I was Rainbow Dash, where would I be? The obvious answer was: napping. Jake took off for the clouds and stumbled across Dash on a small cloud.

“Hey Rainbow-“

“What do you want, Agile?”

“I was just wondering if you would want to have dinner with me.” Jake said. He didn’t expect her to say yes. He knew she hated losing.

“Ohmygoshohmygosh! Yes!” she exclaimed as she zoomed up to Jake.

“Uh, ok. I’ll go and rent out Sugarcube Corner…” Jake said. He realized that after he mentioned the place, Rainbow Dash had zoomed towards her house.

I’m guessing that went over well with her.
