Chapter 1
-Manehattan Central Park-
It's a nice sunny day in Manehattan's Central Park as Blossomforth and Daring Do(as Honey Do), go for a nice stroll. Daring has the whole week to relax with her friends, and wants to hang out with her friends for that week. After the events that happened in Saddle Arabia, she couldn't think of a better week to cut loose. She asked Blossomforth since she has nothing to do for the day. So they both decided to enjoy the outside by going to Manehattan's Central Park. When they get to the park, they knew they weren't the only ponies to take advantage of the day. They go past several other ponies either playing or enjoying the scenery, which made the walk even more relaxing.
"This day is just beautiful out. Wouldn't you agree?", asks Daring.
"Oh yes Daring, it simply is. Especially since the flowers are out.", happily agrees Blossomforth.
Blossomforth goes to smell the daisies, lilies, and roses in a assorted bunch near the trotting path. Daring takes in another breath of fresh air and plans on laying on the grass. She goes over to an open patch of grass not occupied by other ponies so she and Blossomforth can lay down in the grass.
"Hey Blossom, want to lay on the grass?", asks Daring.
"No thank you, I'm just fine here smelling the flowers.", says Blossomforth as she goes over to a nearby flower patch.
Daring then goes to lay down in the grass and sunbathe. Daring looks over to see young colts and fillies play on a playground, a family enjoying their picnic in the shade, and two mares who look like twins flying kites. Daring knew this day was the right to enjoy and starts to drift off to sleep in the sunlight.
"Ah, what can make this day any better?", says Daring in a relaxed, tired tone.
As she says that, she then hears a sound in the distance. Daring looks around to see where the sound is coming from. She looks near the park, from other ponies, even the sky. She then has a double-take toward the sky and sees some pegasi flying over. These weren't any other pegasi, they're the Wonderbolts!
"The Wonderbolts? What are they doing all the way in Manehattan?", questions Daring.
The Wonderbolts are an elite team of fliers from Canterlot and either perform for large crowds or help in any hazardous situation. Everypony in the park looks up and are giving all the same expression as Daring. Blossomforth pays no attention and continues to smell the flowers. The Wonderbolts aren't speeding overhead, but being slow enough to gently fly overhead. They are in a V-shape formation and flying right over Central Park. They appear to be dropping something to the ground in large clusters, and their is a voice coming from the Wonderbolts. As they come closer, the voice becomes more clear to hear, and the objects they are dropping are pieces of paper. The pegasus in the front is the one shouting toward the ground, and also might be assumed to be the leader.
"Town meeting tonight, all pegasi are to attend at town hall tonight!", shouts the lead Wonderbolt.
Papers come down in the park and all the pegasi went for the papers, or some landed on some pegasi or near them.
"Remember to be there at 7 o'clock tonight. Every pegasi must attend!", shouts the leader as they fly away.
The Wonderbolts then fly away from the park head off toward another part of the city. Daring has a piece of paper land right next to her and goes to read it.
Dear fellow pegasus,
I, Mayor Tux, is calling all Pegasi to come to Town Hall for a mandatory meeting regarding Manehattan and Cloudsdale. The Wonderbolts will attend to explain the situation at hoof. If no one has gotten a letter, tell other Pegasi to attend.
Signed,
Mayor Tux
Daring didn't know what to make of it, but maybe it may regard the weather. Since it involves all pegasi and the Wonderbolts, she would think so. She turns to Blossomforth as a letter landed on the flowerbed. Blossomforth takes notice and goes to read the letter. She responds with concern, then fear. Blossomforth gets rid of the letter in the recycle bin while in a paniced state. As she tries to leave, Daring approaches her.
"Anything wrong Blossom?", asks a concerned Daring.
"Oh, no. I'm just not interested in going.", says Blossomforth.
"But it's mandatory."
"I'm sorry, but I just don't think I want to go."
"Why?"
"If this involves all the pegasi and The Wonderbolts, this must have something to do with weather."
"That's what I was thinking."
"So I don't think I should go, I'm better off on the ground here, smelling the flowers."
"Please go, for me?"
Blossomforth gives this a thought, as she knows that she will never let her friends down. Being the Element of Loyalty, she knows this best.
"Okay, I'll go, for you Daring.", Blossomforth says in a depressed tone.
"Trust me, everything will be okay", Daring says with a grin on her face.
My Little Pony, My Little Pony
Ahh, ahh, ahh, ahhh…
(My Little Pony)
I used to wonder what friendship could be
(My Little Pony)
Until you all shared its magic with me
Great discoveries!
Tricks galore!
A rich slice of life,
And a heartfelt score.
Budding courage
It's an easy feat
And magic makes it all complete!
You have my little ponies
Do you know you're all my very best friends?
-Town Hall, 7:00 p.m.-
As all the pegasi enter town hall, they all try to find a place to sit at. Blossomforth makes it to town hall, but sees no sight of Daring anywhere in the building. Blossomforth gets worried that her friend isn't showing up. The lights then go dim as the entire hall is filled to the brim with Mayor Tux, The Wonderbolts, and every Pegasi in Manehattan. A projector is in the front of the room as a light is shone on the wall from the projector. A film is being played as a voice then starts talking from the film.
Every living thing depends on the life-giving nourishment of rainwater, and it is up to Cloudsdale to provide rain-filled clouds to every corner of Equestria. But how, one pony might ask, does Cloudsdale gather all this extra water? Tornado power! That's right, pegasi-driven tornado power. A team of pegasi combine their wing power to create a jumbo tornado, powerful enough to pull water out of the local reservoir, and funnel it all the way up to Cloudsdale. Remember, pegasi, your jumbo tornado must reach a minimum of eight hundred wing power to lift that water up to Cloudsdale. So, the next time you're wondering “Where does all that extra rainwater come from?”, just remem-
The film stops as it has been cut from the heat of the projector. The pegasi get confused from this interuption. One of the Wonderbolts get in front of the screen as the lights come back on. The Wonderbolt takes off her hood and goggles and faces the crowd. The Wonderbolt is a mare with a slickback mane that looks like she has been through tough winds. The mane looks like it's on fire with a bright and dark orange color. She has yellow skin and she has orange eyes.
"Now that the film *ahem*, got interupted, I'll continue from there. First off, my name is Spitfire, and I'm the leader of the Wonderbolts. Now I'm guessing you all want to know why we're here and only pegasi came for this right?", asks Spitfire.
Everypony in the room is murmuring and whispering in response to this.
"Well I'll be happy to tell you all. Manehattan has been selected to provide Cloudsdale with water to create rainclouds.", says Spitfire in a serious manner.
The crowd is surprised at this fact. Blossomforth figured she knows where it's going.
She then puts up some still pictures for everypony to see. Each picture is different to explain what Spitfire is about to explain. She then points to one of the images with a stick, first of which showing an explanation of the plan.
"You see, one town every year is selected to participate in providing Cloudsdale with water to make rain clouds. Last year, I attended the participation in Fillydelphia, and next year will be a rural town outside Canterlot. We chose Manehattan this year for its large population of pegasi.", says Spitfire.
The next image shows a meter with some pegasi in the image, and showing off something called, 'wing power'.
"With all of you pegasi here, you can all make that 800 wing power in no time flat."
The last image is of Manehattan's Water Resevoir.
"We'll be using your town's water reservoir to transport all its water to Cloudsdale. Everypony got that?", asks Spitfire.
The whole room went silent after being briefed. There is only a single cough heard in the room. This somehow annoys Spitfire.
"That cough better be from somepony else Soarin! I will not allow anypony of my team to be sick before a job is finished!", she shouts military style.
She is looking at her team and glaring at a stallion with the same mane as her, but blue. The stallion has a lighter shade of blue skin. Soarin blushes from this outburst and has his head low.
"Now then, I'll be needing a leader for you all. The Wonderbolts may be here to help and oversee the whole event, but the whole town will need to achieve this accomplishment on its own. Now, which one of you will lead the whole town?", asks Spitfire.
Nopony wanted to step up to that responsibility, so everypony stands silent. Then somepony speaks out from the crowd.
"I will!", shouts somepony from the entrance of town hall.
The pony is Daring Do, but she's not in disguise!
The whole room is full of gasps as to see a celebrity in front of them. Mayor Tux is not surprised as he knows her secret. Blossomforth sees this and goes through the whole crowd to get to her. She then reaches Daring still in a full panic.
"Daring, what are you doing? Aren't you supposed to be in disguise?, whispers Blossomforth.
"I'd figured if Manehattan needs a leader to support them, I'd come out for once as myself to help invigorate everypony.", whispers Daring.
Blossomforth is surprised to hear this from the same mare that wanted to hide her identity from everypony.
"But you always go out in disguise to be sure your fans don't see you.", says a worried Blossomforth.
Daring is still standing with a confident look on her face, not worried about the situation at hoof.
"After what happened in Saddle Arabia, I'd figure I need to be myself, and not in disguise. I'll be doing this step by step, until it becomes natural. Plus I want ponies to see Daring Do as a regular pony, not an idol.", says Daring
"The trip Daring took to Saddle Arabia really changed her.", Blossomforth thought.
Then she sees that Daring is completely sure in her decision, so Blossomforth gave in.
"Well, okay. If you're okay with that.", whispers Blossomforth.
Daring gives Blossomforth a hug and proceeds to go up front. As she goes to the stage, she hears whispers from the crowd like, 'Why is she here?', or, 'What's a famous pony doing here?'.
Daring is going to get used to this treatment for a while, but still wanted to take things one at a time until everything seemed okay to tell everypony the whole truth. So for now she'd say she's in town for the moment and go from there. Daring then makes it onto the stage and goes over to Spitfire.
"I'll be your leader for the event.", says Daring.
Spitfire is still in shock, but snaps back to reality.
"Holy Celestia, you're Daring Do!, shouts a surprised Spitfire.
"Yup, figured you needed some extra help.", says Daring
"What are you doing here of all places in Equestria?"
"Well the letter said all pegasi to attend. Since I'm in town for a bit, I had to attend."
Without hesitation, Spitfire says, "Well, we'd be honored for you to lead us."
Spitfire then cheers in excitement with the rest of her team joining in. The whole room is full of applause for having a great Pegasus helping them. Blossomforth knows her friend will be there to help anypony. Sooner or later, she knows she'll have to help all the pegasi to get water for Cloudsdale, but she's not confident she may be of any help.
