_____*Ponyville*______

Storm and Scootaloo stood over Rainbow as she lie there unconscious, Scootaloo was attempting to wake Rainbow up, while Storm looked around out of pure paranoia.

Scootaloo looked at Storm. "Should we try using a bucket of water?" She asked.

Storm shook his head. "No, unless you have a bucket hiding in your fur, it'll take too long." He replied blandly.

It was two more minutes later that Storm got fed up with waiting and flew off in a blur of speed. 'Screw it, if Equestria is how I think it is, nobody will try anything.' He thought as he flew to some clouds.

____*meanwhile*____

Rainbow groaned and opened her eyes, she woke to the sight of Scootaloo watching over her. "Heh, hey Scoots." She grumbled.

Scootaloo chuckled. "Hey sis, you alright?" She asked.

Rainbow nodded and stood up. "Yea, I'm fine, where did Storm go?" She asked.

Scootaloo shrugged. "I don't know, he left just before you woke up." She replied.

Rainbow rubbed her eyes and looked at Scootaloo. "Come on, let's head home, I'm starving." She said as she flew slowly home.

Scootaloo grinned and flew after her sister, it wasn't often, but Rainbow would sometimes fly slowly, and that usually meant either she was in deep thought, or was stalling.

_____*Ponyville.*_____

Storm walked through the town simply looking around, so far it seemed to be a very close nit community, as was evident by the townsponies going about their lives the way they do.

Soon enough however, Storm found himself startled by a pink blur almost ramming him, normally, he would attack for something like that, but he didn't detect any hostility from the blur, so he merely fell back on an act. "Whoa!" He said in a startled manner.

The pink blur had a grin that would split a face in half, and had the obnoxious colors that made Storm cringe, a bright pink for the fur, and a slightly darker pink for the mane.

Storm didn't say anything at first but he felt that any normal person would say something. "Hello." He said calmly.

The Pink mare gasped loudly and floated up, she then zoomed off somewhere unknown to Storm. "Moving on." He muttered.

_____*Meanwhile.*_____

Rainbow and Scootaloo entered the cloud house, Scootaloo went upstairs to relieve herself while Rainbow started on some food, all the while, Rainbow was thinking. 'Why did he come here?.....why now? with everything going on, why did he show himself now? after all of these years?' She wondered.

After Scootaloo came back down, Rainbow went upstairs to the bathroom, leaving Scootaloo in the kitchen with her own thoughts. 'I wonder why he came here?.....what could be here that he wants?" She asked herself, not knowing that Rainbow was thinking the same thing.

After Rainbow came back down, she worked on getting herself and Scootaloo some food, it wasn't long before it was ready.

____*Meanwhile, Ponyville park.*____

Storm was walking through the park, it was of decent size, but it didn't feel like the Stalliongrad park. "Ok, let's get going." He muttered to himself.

Soon enough, as he was walking he felt something crunch under his front right hoof, he lifted it up and looked at it, it was the dead corpse of some kind of bug, he shrugged and continued walking after wiping the bug off, feeling a strange chill down his spine, Storm looked around carefully, not noticing anything weird, he continued moving.

He soon came across a yellow Pegasus mare looking at some flowers. "Looking for something specific?" He asked.

The Pegasus gave a startled jolt but still looked at him. "Oh, yes, I'm trying to find a specific flower for my friend." She explained, albeit shyly and quietly.

Storm blinked, not expecting that response. "Ok then, what does it look like?" He wondered.

The Pegasus pointed at a Lavender flower. "It looks like that, but it's blue." She said.

Storm closed his eyes and chuckled. "It would be right behind your front left hoof." He said.

The Pegasus blinked and looked down, she soon saw it and picked it. "Thank you." She said, much less shy now. "I'm Fluttershy, nice to meet you." She said.

Storm's brain twitched, but he didn't show signs of irritation. "Storm." He replied, he mentally sighed to himself. 'Great, I wasn't looking forward to making any form of friends or whatever....oh well, could be good.' He thought.

As the two went their separate ways, Storm couldn't help but feel curious now. "I can't possibly meet anyone weirder than the pink one." He told himself.

____*later that day.*____

Storm was now sitting down on a bench, he heard barely anything from the quiet park, unlike the one back home. "Can I sit down?" asked a female voice.

Storm looked in the direction of the voice and saw a mint green unicorn mare with a green and white mane. "Sure." He replied, not that he had a problem with it, but it was different for someone to actually ask.

The mare sat down and watched the events of the park, a guy asleep on a bench, a few families playing, some people painting or writing, whatever that was going on.

Storm was attempting not to say anything, but his curiosity got the better of him. "So, see anything interesting?" He asked calmly.

The mare shrugged. "If you call everyday life interesting?......sure, then everything is interesting." She replied.

Storm chuckled. "I guess I can call everyday life interesting." He said quietly.

The mare and Storm sat there for a while until a frisbee flew towards the mare while she wasn't looking, Storm quickly caught it and looked for the one who threw it.

"Hey!.....can I have my frisbee back?" Asked a young boy.

Storm threw the frisbee back then sat back down. "Don't feel like playing?" The mare asked.

Storm shook his head. "No, I don't play that game." He replied.

"What kind of games does a kid your age play then?" The mare asked curiously.

Storm chuckled. "I guess risk or poker is more my style, what about you?" He didn't want to reveal his favorite game......unless he had too.

The mare looked at Storm. "Me?.....i have to say checkers and the Game of Life." She replied.

Storm sighed and looked up at the sky, the clouds were slowly being placed by the Pegasi. "I guess there's a big storm coming huh?" He asked.

The mare nodded and looked up. "It's supposed to be mild, but I wouldn't be surprised if it worsened." She then looked at Storm and held a hoof out. "I'm Lyra by the way, Lyra Heartstrings." She introduced.

Storm shook the mare's hoof. "Storm Blitz." He said.

Lyra stood up and stretched a little. "Well, I got to get going, see you kid." She said before walking off.

Storm nodded and sighed. 'I better get going too.' He told himself.

____*A few minutes later.*____

Storm was flying was a drop of rain hit him on the face, he sighed and stopped. "Of course, why not, why wouldn't you rain?" He complained as he continued his flight.

By the time he was flying towards the only cloud house in the area, he found himself in the middle of a downpour. "Mild my ass." He complained.

Storm flew quickly to the house and landed in front of the door, he then knocked on it.

Soon, the door opened to reveal Rainbow Dash, who went wide eyed. "Hi Rainbow." He said calmly.

Rainbow quickly composed herself. "Storm." She replied.

Storm looked to the rain. "Uh, can I come in?" He asked.

Rainbow stood aside and let the young Pegasus through. "How come your here?.....last I heard, you were t going to leave that city unless you died." She said.

Storm nodded. "Changed my mind, you know how I am." He replied.

Rainbow led Storm to the living room and had him sit. "Of course I do." She said.

Storm sat down and looked at Rainbow. "How's the sister?" He teased.

Rainbow narrowed her eyes at Storm. "Ha ha ha." She laughed sarcastically.

Storm grinned. "Come on sis, don't give me that stare, I haven't done anything." He said defensively.

____*later that day.*____

Storm looked out into the rain, he hated it for a long time, and with good reason, but he was over it now, he just didn't like getting wet these days, then again, who does?

He had talked with Rainbow and Scootaloo earlier, and Rainbow had said that she would let him stay there until his business here was done, he didn't have the heart to tell her what it was, not that he could care.

It was getting late, and he just wanted to lie down for a rest, but something was keeping him up, he couldn't get over something he saw, he had seen a weird aura around Rainbow, it reeked of dark power, but there was also an ancient light power.

Rainbow and Scootaloo were asleep by now, so when Storm laid back on the couch and closed his eyes. "I'll deal with it tomorrow." He told himself.
