Storm woke to the sound of birds singing outside his window. He Lay there for a while, listening to their morning tune. He got up and went outside into the corridor, and took the right door this time, not that it would matter. Rainbow was still asleep on the sofa. Storm stepped into the shower, and let the warm water run away his troubles.

Rainbow Dash was just waking up from her sleep in the living room. She groaned and rolled over. Yesterday was difficult, even for the fastest and best flyer in all Equestria.
The storm that was scheduled over Everfree went a bit out of hand. There was no damage, major or minor, but the weather team got soaked. It was a lot harder after Cloud Shifter had to move back to Cloudsdale, so they were one pony down. She stood up and felt the blanket fall off her back.
“Why did Storm put this over me?” she wondered. Dash looked at the clock and saw she didn't have much time to get ready. There were more grey clouds scheduled today, and she had over slept! Rainbow galloped around the house in a mad dash to get thing ready.
Storm had just dried himself and stepped out of the shower, when a streak of cyan flew past him.
“wow! Be careful Dash, you almost hit me!” he said to her
“Sorry Storm, but im late for work, I gotta go ASAP!” she shouted back.
“hey, Dash? Mind if I come and watch? I've got nothing to do today."
“Really? You want to watch?” she asked “You can if you like, but it won't be very interesting. Then again, you might be lucky and see me pull of some of my signature moves!” she bragged. Storm chuckled, and they both went out.

When the two pegasus got there, Storm sat down on a near by cloud, and watched Rainbow and watched her team get to work.
“The weather team, huh” he thought “looks like a good-” His thought trail got cut off. The words weather team echoed in his head like it was something important... Suddenly, Storm's eyes widened. He was remembering...
- - - - - -
Storm heard a voice. It sounded familiar, but he couldn't put his hove on it. Darn Amnesia!
“Hey Storm! You ready? c'mon or your gonna be late!” said a excited Red pegasus in front of him.
“umm...sure” Storm replied uncertain. He felt anxious about what was about to happen, but why? And what was going to happen anyway? He felt himself get dragged down a corridor and outside. The light was very bright, and some houses and pegasus were there, or only half there due to his memory problem. They looked kind of creepy. He shook free of the red pegasus's grip, and just flew after him.
“wow, you sure are excited about this” Storm said
“Well duh! We get to go onto the weather team, isn't this awesome!?” The red pegasus happily replied.
“yea, I guess so” said Storm. They flew up to a group of pegasus in that were stood in a circle talking. The red pegasus tapped one of them on the back, and saluted.
“Weather team rookie Red Streak reporting for duty!” he said
“yea, and umm private Storm reporting as well” said Storm without much enthusiasm. Sure he was getting on the weather team, but he wanted to get into the sky and bust some clouds.
“so you're the new editions to our team, eh? Sweet. You both look good and ready to go.” said the golden pegasus in front of them “here's the weather report. Since you two are new, you can help Glider shunt those clouds over to the northern side of the town.”

Red look psyched, but Storm felt a little disappointed, it showed on his face.
“what's the matter kiddo?” asked the golden pegasus
“oh, its just that...that I wanted to do some cloud busting, that's all. But don't worry about it, I've only just started anyway” The golden pegasus smiled at him
“I'm sure I could pull a few ropes, after all, Boxer always likes help when it comes to bucking clouds” he said “I could get you started cloud busting by tomorrow, if you like”
“sweet really?” said Storm excited “wow thanks!”
“no problem” smiled the pegasus “off you to go now! Go get to work and there'll be a whole 20 bits in for you two” Red and Storm nodded enthusiastically
“oh yea” said the golden pegasus “just remember kiddo, get out of the rain”
“what do you mean? Its not raining, its fine-”
- - - - - -
“c'mon, what are you, crazy? If you keep sitting under that cloud you're gonna get soaked so lets go! lets get out of the rain!” said Rainbow Dash shaking him out of his flashback
“wa?” said Storm “umm, uh ok whatever you say” Rainbow chuckled and they both flew to a less rain prone cloud.
“you know” said Storm “all the time I've been here, nopony has ever called me by my first name”
“really? That's kind of weird” she said
“I know... I guess that Storm is a easier name to say. Plus, it sounds cooler” he admitted. They both laughed at this, but it stuck in his mind. Nopony called him by his first name, not even in my memories... why? This amnesia is really starting to get annoying now! Ah well, I can't do much about it now...

The two pegasus headed back to Rainbows house. Once they got back, it was quite late and both of them were tired.
“ughh” said Rainbow and collapsed on the sofa “what a day” Storm smiled and went to the bathroom. He dried himself off with a towel and headed back into the living room. Dash was still in the sofa with her eyes closed, but she smiled
“now no covering me with blankets this time, ok?” she said still smiling. Storm blushed a deep crimson red. Rainbow lazily opened one eye and chuckled.
“hay, don't worry about it. I'm not angry with you, quite the opposite actually”
Storm still said nothing, and continued to blush.
Rainbow got a good look at Storm. He was standing there looking down, nervously flicking his tail.
“Heh, he looks kind of... kind of...” Dash struggled to find the right word. Words like 'cute' and 'adorable' were what Twilight and Rarity would use. She was Rainbow Dash! The fastest flyer in all Equestria! She didn't use words like that!.. but she didn't know how else to describe him.
“you know...there's room for one more here with me” she said and patted the cushion beside her. “take a seat Storm” still blushing, he gingerly sat down next to Rainbow. Dash chuckled at his discomfort.
“honestly stop being such a wimp!” she said “Just cause you did a act of kindness doesn't mean you have to go all embarrassed about it!”
“I guess” he replied. Storm relaxed and let out a deep breath.
“man” she said closing her eyes again “what a day” Rainbow lay her head down on Storm's shoulder. She muttered something that Storm just couldn't t out, and fell asleep.

At first, Storm thought it was a joke, until he noticed her breaths were in a steady slow pattern, and he blushed deeply again. He thought about waking her up and telling her that she had fallen asleep on him, when his mind shouted at him
“why are you thinking that!? The mare of your dreams is fast asleep on your shoulder, go with it!”
Storm took his inner self 's advice and looked down at Dash
“you look...you're beautiful” he said softly. Storm smiled and closed his eyes and promptly fell asleep dreaming of the mare next to him... Next Chapter: Dark Memories Estimated time remaining: 14 Minutes
