7'o clock. Time to start the day.
Bluebrush pulled himself out of bed and tried to shake out the drowsiness that still gripped his mind. After a few minutes of this, he opened his window curtains and allowed Celestia's morning light to flood his bedroom with its warmth. A quick trot downstairs brought Blue to one of his closest friends: his coffee pot. A few coffee beans a bit of hot water, a few minutes of brewing, and absolutely no sugar or milk created Bluebrush's coveted morning tea.
He chugged it fast and merciless.
"Thank Celestia for this, cause it tastes bloody fantastic."
He trotted back up and hopped in the shower, trying to enjoy as much of the water as he could. Unfurling his wings, he gave himself a quick air dry to get his wings in working order. A quick body grooming was his next order of business. He trotted over to his bathroom mirror and brushed his teeth and blonde mane, making himself presentable. He quickly ran his brush over his peach colored fur then over his painting cutie mark for good measure as well. The last pony who came to work with an unkempt cutie mark had to clean the locker room for a week, and god did I those rooms look and smell like a diamond dog.
With that taken care of, Blue was out of the front door and into the bustling streets of Canterlot. The usual group of ponies were going about their business: the street merchants selling their wares, the nobles trying desperately not to associate themselves with the common ponies, and the common ponies themselves.
A left, a right, and two lefts later brought Blue to his place of work: The Equestrian Weather Service Canterlot Office. He quickly trotted in and checked in at the front desk.
"Hi Thunder Shock! Hoping for park duty again?" the receptionist called out.
"Oh you know it!" he happily called back.
Quickly heading to the locker room, he donned his weather vest and goggles. After securing his gear, he trotted down the hall towards the main staff room. A few rows of simple fold out chairs were set up, along with a podium and projection screen in the front. Quickly sitting down, he waited patiently for the rest of the weather ponies to arrive. A few minutes later, a whitish blue stallion trotted in striking a victory pose. Ugg this douche.
"WASSUP! Sky Hopper is in the house!" he shouted with bravado.
"Hi Sky...." the others half heartedly responded.
A few minutes later, Flitter and Cloudchaser entered and sat down in front of Blue. As he gazed at the pair, he couldn't help but admire their beauty, especially Flitter. As he gazed upon her, his heart began to beat with an anxious passion. Deciding to seize the opportunity, he gently tapped her on the shoulder.
"H-Hey Flitter." he nervously whispered.
"What's up?" she whispered back.
His breath became more labored as the anxiety grew in his chest.
"I...I was wondering....if your not too busy......maybe you'd like to...."
"To what?"
"...........n..never mind."
Shortly after his fail, the local weather captain, Lightning Titan, entered the room and stood at attention at the podium. He set a few papers down and cleared his aging throat.
"Morning everypony, happy Wendsday, let's make this quick. We're already running a little behind on our shift. Just got the results back, congratulations are in order. We're in the top five weather offices based on a public poll. Good job, but I want number one! So keep driving until we make it. Understood?"
"Yes sir!" the audience called out.
"Very good! Now, assignments. Flitter, Cloudchaser, you're on the east side today. Need a level two storm to keep the sewer systems in town flowing. Get to it."
The two quickly trotted out of the building to start their shifts.
"April Showers, Blue Skies, you're going to Ponyville. Their office is a little short staffed today and they need a boost. Ask for Rainbow Dash when you get there."
Lightning Titan cleared his throat again and continued to read off the list in front of him. Unbeknownst to anypony, Thunder nervously tapped his hoof as the assignments were called out.
"Blue, your favorite: park duty. Make sure those nobles don't get a sunburn."
A quiet sigh left Blue as he finally relaxed in his chair.
"Sky Hopper, your suspension continues. You're with Blue today."
"Fuck." Mumbled Blue
A audible groan echoed the room as Sky vocalized his frustration. Their assignments handed out, Blue and Sky flew quickly over the Royal Canterlot park, four square city block of trees, beautiful flowers, and a stunning lake. The job was simple but tedious: manage the clouds according to the park dwellers, water the trees and flowers when necessary, and above all, do NOT anger the nobles. Sky took exception to this rule and would make funny faces towards them behind the clouds he would handle throughout most of the day.
Around noon, as Blue was busting up a few clouds for a loving couple's special moment, Cloudchaser sped toward him with worry in her eyes.
"Blue, can you help me for a minute?! I'm really flying blind here!" she called out.
"Why? What's the problem?"
"I tried to get the level two going, but the clouds just won't start up. Can you help me out?"
"What about Flitter? Can't she-"
"Her wings started to cramp up. She can't get airborne for another fifteen minutes and the storm needed to start twenty minutes ago! Please?!"
" 'sigh' Alright, but just this one time."
"Oh thank you so much! I already got the clouds set up, but I can't start them up. This way."
