The morning rays of Daymare's Sun, beamed into the window of Pinkamena's room. I groaned as I slowly shuffled around in her bed. I think I only got three hours of sleep. My head felt terrible. I tried to move around so I could reach the other side of the bed and get up, but something was blocking my path. I opened my eyes a little more to see what it was.

It was her.

She laid there on the other side of the bed, snuggled in her covers. Her straight pink hair draped over her face as she snored rather softly in deep sleep. I did my best to surpress the urge to say, "awww" , out loud while looking at her. She looked absolutely adorable. I knew I was a lucky pony. Not only was I slowly beginning to become a normal being around ponies in general, but there was one pony all along who liked me, who loved me.

I sat up in her bed and continued staring at her, reaching a hoof to stroke her hair. She was the only one who taught me to laugh, and more importantly........to smile.

I leaned in and gave her a light peck on the forehead.

I whispered in her ear, "........I love you......"

I slowly moved back to my side and got out of the bed. I yawned as I made my way out of her room, closing the door gently behind me with my telekinesis. I slowly walked to her bathroom, still getting off of the morning mood. I could even smell my own breath. Usually when that happens, it's definitely time to check what have I been eating lately. Probably the usual. Birds, chicken, cocatoo, rabbits, the small stuff. I only do it in the Everfree Forest though, for if anypony saw me eating other animals, they would have a fit. It's not my fault though. For years, I've been feeding off of other creatures as a primary food source to survive on my own. I'm slowly starting to convert myself into eating other things like hayfries and daisy sandwiches, however, I still need to eat meat to truly become healthy on the inside. As far as my breath, maybe I should visit that one blue pony who looked like she would be the type of pony who would run a dentistry.

I closed the glass shower door behind me and turned the handles on the shower on. The water instantly came out and made contact with my body...........except the water was cold.

"Oh!!! Ahhh!!! Cold!!! Cold!!!! Cold!!!!" , I yelled as I quickly fumbled with the shower handles.

I finally managed to turn the correct shower handle and hot water began to pour from the spout. I let out a sigh of relief and relaxed. I do not even know a shower could feel this good. I mean, the hot springs in The Everfree Forest were my usual go to, as far as bathing is concerned, but this right here, was the best feeling of refreshment I have ever felt in my life.

I allowed my body to soak in the streams of hot water upon me. I was so comfortable, I even allowed my energy take over. My body began to slowly rise from the shower floor. I was suspended about a foot in the air, floating, letting everything go for a second. I created a field of energy in the shower compartment that I was in so my powers could keep me suspended in the air while I relaxed. The shower room was rather roomy and stood out from the other appliances that were in the bathroom.

"Probably just had this one installed......" , I thought to myself. "But what the hell, I love this....."

My mind almost melted in peace and comfort. I knew I had to get out soon so I could start my day. I still have a job to do. An aurora had to be created for today at exactly 1pm sharp. Daymare Sun notified me of that before I went to bed last night. I knew I had that responsibility to do so, but all I want to do right now was just relax. I closed my eyes

I was in heaven.............until a voice spoke from in front of me.

"Hi Aurora!!!"

I flinched in mid air as my body did a small somersault in place.

"Dammit Pinkamena!!! Don't do that!!! How-...H-How the hell did you get in here?!?" , I yelled in shock.

She giggled, "Just happened to walk in, silly!"

She pointed to my right. I looked over to where she was pointing. The shower door was wide open. Well that made a sh*t load of sense.....but how the hell was she floating?!?

"Holy Hell!!!!" , I yelled.

"What?" , she asked.

I pointed to her with wide eyes. She was floating in the shower room with me, just about a few inches above me.

She giggled again, "Oh this?" .

She did two somersaults while floating in place.

"Easy! I just walked in and all of a sudden, whoooo!!! I started floating!!!"

I stared at her for a second, then shook my head to snap out of trance. She was right on that note. The field I created, surrounded the entire shower room. So when she walked in, she become a part of the field's energy.......huh......simple explanation.......but why did she even come in here in the first place?!?!?

I looked up at her and raised an eyebrow, "So.......why are you even in here anyway.....?"

Her eyes narrowed and relaxed as her smile began to fade into a small smirk.

"I just want to say good morning to my love.........is that not okay...........master...?"

I hate it when she did that.

My face completely turned red as I wide eyed at her, ".....um......oh my....."

The moment was really trying to get on my nerves too. She looked so calm and slick. Her body was lightly floating in the air, the stream of water from the shower completely soaking her straight hair, yet, her hair flowed freely in the air. The steam from the shower was everywhere, almost looking like a spa. She looked down on me as I floated under her. Both of us, in the shower........together......well this can only end one way, but it was too early in the morning.

Before she could lean in to kiss me, I placed a hoof on her lips.

"....Honey. We'll have time for that later. Didn't you already have your way with me yesterday?"

She looked at me with those oh so beautiful eyes, tempting me to just let loose on her.

"But I'm not in heat. This is real. I Pinkie Promise." , she calmly spoke.

I was really resisting this time. There were so many inapropiate things I would do to her, it would be like a purge with no end. But I had a job to do. The sex would have to wait.

"I Pinkie Promise, that we'll have time for this later. Does that sound fair to you......?" , I spoke to her in a calm tone as well.

She nodded with a look of defeat on her face. I then slowly rose my body up to her and lightly grabbed her face, giving her a peck on the lips. Her tail wildly swished in the air as her face turned red. She returned by kissing me on my lips. She lightly bit and pulled my lower lip with complete lust. She then let go and stared into my eyes.

I smiled, "Come on, let's get out. I think I'm refreshed for today."

Pinkamena and I dried ourselves off and walked out of the bathroom, leaving the door open to let out the steam. We made our way down to the main room of the bakery shop. Pinkamena walked up to the door and flipped the sign to "open" . I walked over to the coffee stand and levitated a cup and coffee beans so I could pour them into the coffee maker. I finished by closing the cap and turning the machine on. The smell of coffee beans instantly filled the room. my mouth was already watering.

Pinkamena approached me with a brown bag in her teeth.

"Heer yer go Aurera!!" , she managed to muffle out.

I chuckled at her as I levitated the bag out of her mouth. She sheepishly smiled.

"So whacha gotta do today? Huh? Huh?" , she rapidly asked.

I think I should've left the bag in her mouth.

I responded to her, "Just need to check The Cloudsdale Weather Center to see how they're doing and what not, check on a couple low pressure systems I created in the Alps, and create an aurora by early afternoon."

She looked at me with those eyes, clearly meaning she was amazed.

"Whooooaa. You have to go everywhere, don't you?" , she wondered.

I reassured her, "No it's nothing. I do those type of things everyday. Takes no time. I got the speed for the commute."

She nodded her head, "True."

The coffee machine went off with a beep, signaling that the coffee was ready. I levitated a coffee cup and poured myself some. I closed it up with a cap and took the bag with me as I headed out the door.

"I'll be back by 6pm." , I spoke back to her.

She smiled and waved a hoof back me.

I closed the door behind me and opened my wings. I gave them a light stretch before I took off into the air. I climbed vertically into the air before banking to the Northwest. I slowed my speed down as I approached my location, The Weather Factory at Cloudsdale.

I blew my way through the outer walls of the clouds as I made my way to the airborne city. I cruised my way through the cloud pillars and cloud building as I snaked my way through the airborne avenues. A couple pegasi saw me and waved to me. I smiled and waved back to them. I just love it. I'm actually being seen less as a threat to them, and more of a friend.

I finally made my way passed a few more cloud buildings and flew to the entrance of the Weather Factory. There were about 5 small black cumulonimbus clouds, shooting out small bolts of thunder on either side of the factory. On the main foyer, there were rainbow waterfalls emerging from the outlets of the base of the building. It was a beautiful sight. I finally get to see how these people manage my weather patterns and what not.

I stepped on the main entrance where I was quickly greeted by a couple of pegasi.

"Welcome to the Weather Factory, Aurora Boreallis. We are humbled that you've chose to come our establishment." , one of the pegasus spoke.

I responded with hoof shake, "Nice to meet both of you. I hope my weather patterns aren't too complicated for you guys to handle."

The other pegasus waved the matter away, "Oh no worries. We here at The Weather Factory can handle any complex storm system that comes our way. Our factory is also a research lab, where we explore different weather patterns all across the world so whenever it hits us, we'll be ready."

I raised an eyebrow in surprise, "Oh really? That's........actually really productive."

"Please, follow me." , the pegasus spoke to me.

We flew through the main entrance and passed a number of stations where the pegasi were doing certain jobs on regulating the weather patterns for Ponyville and Canterlot. There was one station where the pegasi poured water into large bowls to create clouds, another station where they created the rainbow waterfalls by reflecting light through every molecule of the stream of water that ran through the factory, and there was this one station that was used to generate snowflakes of all sizes. Some were bigger than the size of my head.

Then out of nowhere, a pegasus screaming through the open windows of the main hallway and smashed into one of the pegasi that  I was walking with. The other one jumped back in shock. The pegaus that crashed quickly stood up and brought the other one back up on his hooves.

"Gary!! We got trouble!!! Trouble!!!" , the pegaus screamed.

The other one reeled back at his outburst, "Whoa! Whoa! Calm down buddy! Now, tell me what's going on?"

The loud pegasi responded, "There's a huge area of low pressure in the West Pacific and it's not playing around! It could turn into a super typhoon any minute, and there are major cities under the gun!!!"

I flinched.

Oh no.

My eyes widened as he pulled out a paper from his saddle bags that he was wearing.

"At 12:05 GMT, an area of air pressure developed 204 miles Northeast off the coast of Austrailia. The area of pressure dropped 40 whole millibars within a span of 20 minutes. The area become low pressure and started moving Northwest at a speed of 80 mph. The area of low pressure is not visible, but local pegasi reported that the winds of the center of circulation were estimated at 175 mph."

I could sense a wave of concern and fear in the atmosphere of the factory as every pegasi that was working, suddenly stopped to listen to what the screaming pony was talking about. The two pegasi that were walking with me had a facial expression of utter fear. it wasn't long before they all turned their heads to me. All of them. Every single pegasi in the factory stopped and stared at me with fright and fear. I couldn't believe it. There just had to be a lone fricking storm to ruin everything. No way. I wasn't going to let this happen again. Nopony should be afraid of me. Nopony.

My face went to a frown, the life disappearing in my eyes, back into a glazed over death stare. Every pegasi flinched. I didn't care. I was going to get rid of this storm quickly before it ruins anything else.

I turned to the two pegasi, "Where is your situation room?" .

They both quickly bowed, pointing a hoof to the doorway up ahead, "Over there you supremeness, sir." .

No........not again...........I don't want this to happen again.

I didn't even respond. I turned and flew over to the doorway and apparated out of sight.

I appeared into the room from what I was told, was the situation room. The pegasi in the room jumped all at once as I made my appearance. Papers flew and scattered everywhere as every one of them regained themselves and bowed.

I ignored the formalities and spoke, "Where is the area of low pressure heading to?"

My voice got deeper. I could even hear it reverberate through the cloud walls of the room. This was not helping the situation, or my mood. But I didn't care. The important thing that mattered most to me was to do away with the storm. One of the peagsi timidly pointed to the large map of the world. I turned and looked. There were red dots, marking the current path of the area of low pressure. There were blue dots for where it was projected to cross over. MY eyes widened in fear. The blue dots ran Northwest, running over the entire country of New Mareland, Papua New Filly, and the Philippines.

My heart almost stopped. There was no way I could stop this storm. It had already completed the first stage by successfully dropping 40 millibars. If I let this thing go on it's own............It will become a monster.

There's too much humid air climate down there in the Southern Hemisphere already as a preset. My question is how the hell did it get down there?!? Normally storms would die down there due to too much heat. That's what I had set the climate to for the past 2,000 years!!!!

The thoughts continued screaming in my head as I put my hooves to my temples. Wind began rushing into the situation room. Papers and clipboards were starting to fly in a circle around me. The pegasi cowered under the tables. I soon realized what I was doing and opened my eyes. All at once, the objects that swirled around me, dropped onto the ground. I turned and looked at the frightened pegasi. I was about to speak until a bell interrupted me. It was probably to signal their lunch break. I sighed and bowed my head to them in apology. They said nothing. I turned and flew out the open window with a burst of speed, leaving every pegasi in the room, wondering what had just happened.

I zoomed in and around the buildings in a hurry to get out of Cloudsdale. I needed to get to the Pacific now. There was no way I going to make it by flying, even if I broke the sound barrier 5 times over. I screeched to a halt in the air and stopped. I closed my eyes and though back to where exactly that area of low pressure was on that map earlier. I summoned my energy and within seconds, I apparated out of thin air.

I opened my eyes. I was there. The middle of the ocean. I looked down below me. I was floating at least 1,200 feet into the air. I looked closely at the white caps that were appearing on the surface of the ocean.

"Is that what I think it is.......?" , I spoke to myself. "Only one way to find out......."

I flew down to the ocean surface level, but there was no surface level when I got there. Massive, tall, towering waves loomed above my head. They were crashing all around me. I looked at the sky, it was clear as day. I could even see the bright sun of Daymare. Not a cloud in sight, but the winds were furious. I couldn't even use my wings because they kept on blowing the other way. I used my telekinesis to float in the air. A massive wave approached in front of me. My eyes widened. It was coming at me too fast. At a spilt second, I grabbed my hooves together like I was holding a sword blade, and moved my arms down forcefully at the approaching wave. The wave had spilt entirely in half, each half crashing on either side of me form a variable distance. All I could feel was the cool mist from the clean cut I made through the water.

To avoid getting smacked by another wave, I flew about another 400 feet into the air. I looked back down at the waves. They had to be at least 90 feet in height. I looked back at the horizon of crashing waves from afar. I felt a wave of depression cover my body. I had to do it. There was no other way. I had to create this storm. If I tried to control it, it would move at my will, but will not die permanently. Wherever I would send it, it would dissolve, grab a hold of another air mass and continue it's lone preset path as it is now. I needed to summon it so it can die forever when it runs its course. It's my job to do these things. This is what I've always done for generations. I am the catalyst that starts the storms all across the world. I create them, I destroy them. I am always aware of the casualties I cause with these storms that I create and I mourn deeply everytime it happens, but I have to do this................I can't run away from my destiny.

With a tear rolling down my cheek, I closed my eyes and summoned my energy. All at once, massive cumulonimbus clouds began to form in a wide circle around me, about 8 miles in diameter. I was in the epicenter. The clouds grew larger and darker. I could hear the loud booms of thunder from within the multitude of storms. I stretched out my arms. Wind began to rise from below me furiously, whipping my mane and tail around wildly. I screamed high into the heavens at the top of my lungs. The wind blowing wildly, the loud noises of thunder from a distance, it was all too normal for me. It almost felt.......comfortable. Releasing my last stage of energy, I quickly threw my arms down and everything silenced.

I slowly opened my eyes.

8 miles ahead of me was a giant wall of dark grey clouds. I turned around full circle. The giant wall cloud surrounded me at a diameter. I looked up into the sky above me. I could still see Daymare's Sun shinning from the edge of the circular wall cloud. The sky was blue as blue could be. I then looked back at the giant circular, 8 mile wide wall around me. There were multiple flashes of lightning coming from within. I could even hear the delayed rumbles of thunder. The wall cloud towered above me. It had to be over 30,000 feet high. I then looked down to the ocean. As expected, although small from this height, there were waves splashing everywhere. The wind was calm, very, very, calm.

I sighed and opened my wings. They flapped as I stopped floating in the air. I flew vertically to the top of the massive circular wall cloud and as soon as I surpassed the top, I was in the exosphere. I flew a few more feet out of the atmosphere and gazed at my work. The storm was full blow. White bands from the outer edges retracted slowly into the center where I was. I looked at the center. I could still see the crashing waves of the ocean in the center of the wall cloud. That wall cloud, was the eye of the storm. The eye had to be 16 miles in diameter from this view. The entire storm itself had to be 2,500 miles in diameter. As I looked to my left ahead of the huge swirling storm, I saw the green land mass of New Mareland.

I had created............a Supertyphoon.

The storm was moving slowly but surely, to the two pieces of land mass of New Mareland. I brought my hooves together and bowed by head.

"........In Daymare Sun's name...............please keep them safe........."

I took one more last look as the outer bands of the storm began to hover over the land mass. I turned away. Tears floated from my eyes and into the weightlessness of outer space. I then felt a wave of energy blow against me. I turned my head towards the sun. A solar flare was heading right towards my side of the planet. My body started to glow green.

I sighed, ".......let's just get this over with......."

I flew around the southern edge of the storm before flying away from the planet's atmosphere and flew for about a couple thousand miles. After a few minutes, I slowed to a stop. I was a good thousand miles from the planet. The outer bands of the solar storm cam closer and closer. I raised my hooves. Seven bright white line emerged from the Earth's poles behind me. I spread my arms outwards and took a deep breath.

The solar storm impacted my magnetic field and spilt apart on either side of the Earth, flowing along with the bright white lines. Tears were flowing freely from my face as I absorbed the energy of the solar blast.
