Back in the Air

Storm slowly opened his eye's and looked around. Light had flooded his room from the window to his left. Storm didn't have the Nightmare again, but he kept waking up in the middle of the night. It was bugging his mind, and one of the things he really wanted was to do was talk to Twilight about it. If it was a memory from before, he needed to talk to a pony that would understand, and know what to do.
Storm pulled himself out of the bed, and stepped outside into the corridor. He thought that a shower would get him more awake, and sleepily headed down the corridor.
He opened the door to his right – into Rainbows room. Storm froze.
“Damn it! I should of remembered! Ah well, just move slowly out of the door...” Storm stopped, and looked across at Dash. Thankfully, she looked deep asleep when the second hit of bad luck hit. Her alarm went off. Bells started to ring in his bed.

“oh no” he thought, and quickly but quietly closed the door, but not quietly enough.
“wa?” said Dash “Storm, was that you? That was you wasn't it” She waited for a reply
“...no?” he answered hopefully.
“what did I tell you yesterday? I said NOT to get the doors mixed up, and what did you do?” she said annoyed “you mixed them up, and now you're gonna pay. I'll give you a five second head start to run, not that it'll do you any good”
“Well I'm gonna take it anyway” Storm said a bolted down the corridor, shortly followed by Dash. The chase was short, but fun all the same. Rainbow flew and collided into Storm, and they rolled over on the floor, both laughing and out of breath
“I'll let you off this time... Just don't do it again!” said Dash smiling. Storm nodded
“if it's ok, im gonna take a shower” said Storm
“sure go ahead” she replied “I gotta warm up. We've got rain clouds scheduled for today, and big ones to. You should stay inside or you're gonna get soaked”
“Well im heading to Twilights library to ask her about the dream I had. It seemed too real and familiar to be a fake”
“Ok, but I don't want you coming back with a cold cause im no medical pony”
“ok”

Storm headed back down the corridor, and took the correct door this time. After the chase, he was pretty much awake, but he wanted a shower anyway.  He made sure that the water was hot, and stepped in. He relaxed and let out a happy sigh. The running water was nice, and he was enjoying every drop of it.
After a good long time in the shower, he stepped out, dried himself out, and walked out of the house into the morning. The breeze was nice, and felt good flowing through his wings. He remembered what the nurse had said about them, and he was fairly certain that the could at least try to hover. He started beating them, slowly first but them harder. He felt himself being lifted off the ground, until his hooves no longer touch the cloud. Storm smiled. The feeling of flying again was divine. He dared himself to go a little higher, and take a flight around the house. After a few times, Storm went a little faster, and faster until he brought up a good flying speed. He would of gone faster, but he wings suddenly cried out with pain, and he crashed nose first into the ground.
“oooooo, that looked painful” speculated Rainbow “Will he get up? Or is Storm down for the count?” Storm tried to reply, but got a mouth full of cloud instead.
“phft” he said muffled and spat out some cloud “ at least I actually can fly now, maybe not a fast I could, but hay I can fly. That's an achievement in itself”
“whatever... anyway, im going now to get that weather done, so you better go and get to Twilight before it hits. Seeya!” she said cheerfully and shot off like a bullet. He waved good bye and set off.

Storm arrived at Twilights just in time. Rainbow was right, it was throwing it down. He knocked at the door, and Twilight answered It quickly.
“Oh, hello Storm. Fancy seeing up here? Anyway, come inside quick.” said Twilight happily. Storm made his way inside, and sat down on a chair.
“so” asked Twilight “what type of book do you need? I've got a genre on almost everything”
“actually, I need to talk to you about something rather important.” he said “it's about this dream I had last night, I think it was from before I lost my memories”
“sounds normal to me, its probably the amnesia just wearing off, what makes it so special?”
“let me tell you” said Storm, and told her the story. He explained it in more detail to Twilight, feeling that she would understand more. At the end of his tale, her face was grim
“hmm... well that does sound bad. Look, I'll try and find a map of towns and cities around here that match your description, but I have very limited information so it will take some time... I wonder what other secrets your mind holds? I guess we will find out in time, but for now, stay here with me. Its pouring down with rain at the moment, and I got some purple Avens recently from the Everfree forest. It makes a delicious type of tea! Stay, won't you?” she asked. Storm smiled, and nodded. But what Twilight said bugged him. What secrets does my mind hold? Only time will tell.

Storm's stay at Twilight's lasted for a long time. After they had finished their tea, Twilight told Storm about her studies. She filled in any questions that Storm asked and told him about anything that he didn't know about the world. She even let him stay for lunch which he thought was very nice. He also talked to spike. He thought that spike was a nice guy and very helpful, although it was pretty obvious about his crush on Rarity. Once the Rain had stopped, Storm told Twilight that he was going to head back.
“Ok, it was nice having you around Storm. I'll get to work on finding out those towns for you, and come and tell me if you have any more recall dreams” she told him on his way out. Storm waved goodbye, and flew back to Rainbows house. He got in to find her already there. Rainbow was asleep, and looked worn out and soaked right down to her bones.

Storm was right. Rainbow did have a busy day. She wasn't fully asleep, but almost. She opened one eye a bit and took a look at Storm. He looked fine, but he was looking at her, which made Rainbow feel uneasy. He left the room and came back with a blanket, and put it on Rainbow, and tucked her in. This act of kindness took her completely by surprise, but she didn't blow her cover. She looked at him and smiled slightly, then fell to sleep...

Storm looked at Rainbow. Was it him or was she smiling? Probably just him, although, she did look very cute tucked up like that, but he kept that thought to himself.
“goodnight Dash” he whispered, and headed off to his own bed. He climbed in and though about the dream, but his mind kept straying to the image of Rainbow snuggled down under the blanket. He tried to think about something else, but his mind kept reverting to that image.
“Why am I thinking of her so much?” He wondered before falling into a deep sleep. Next Chapter: Weather memories Estimated time remaining: 19 Minutes
