The Weather Factory Tour

My hooves touch Cloudsdale's fluffy ground and I turn around to see Silverdust's hot air balloon land on the runway. The sun reflects off her shiny silver mane and blinds a couple of the nearby pegasi, as she bounces onto the cloud. instantly the cloud blends into her white coat. She smiles brightly as she notices me, my red and orange mane and yellow coat stands out on the white land. She quickly trots over to my waiting area,

"This is way more beautiful than you described Flame." She says, as her dark violet eyes scan Cloudsdale.

I laugh, "Well I see it as another cloud. So, do you want to take a tour with some of the pegasi guides?" I ask.

She beams, "Of course, this spell for me to walk on clouds to AGES to learn."

We trot over to a blue and green colt wearing a tour guide badge. "This contest is going to be epic!" I say to Silver as we follow the tour guide through a large crowd.

"Thousands of ponies come here every year." Silverdust says. "Even the four princesses come!" She points to a violet alicorn talking to a pink earth pony.

"And I'M competing in it" I say matter-of-factly. She nudges me in the side.

"Stop being a hot-head Flame." We walk over to the ticket stand to reserve Silver's seat, and head towards our patiently waiting tour guide.

We walk in silence for a few minutes till we reach the Weather Factory. "This is the Weather Factory," Our tour guide explains. "The place we create all the weather for Equestria! It takes training to work here and specific knowledge in different areas for everything to go smoothly." He continues. "Everypony must play their part or everything can collapse." He points at each door and explains what each one is. They move farther into the factory and he points to a Lightning Bolt door. "That's where we store out Lightning Bolts, It is very dangerous. Those bolts can severely injure somepony." He tells us. Silver nod as she scribble down notes. I sigh and look around bored.

I nudge Silver. "He never told us what that door is." I point to a rusty door with a lock on it. Silverdust cocks her head to one side.

"Your right, Hey mister, where does that door lead to?" Silver asks. The guide hesitates, and smiles a little bit.

"I-It's just u-uh where they store the u-um rainbow ingredients. I could tell he was lying.

We reach the exit and he departs with us here. "Have a good day!" I yell. He doesn't reply and only canters back into the Weather Factory. I shrug unconcerned, "Let's get something to eat I'm starving." Silverdust nods in agreement and we trot off to find some muffins.

The tour guide reaches the old rusty door and sighs a breath of relief. The two mares he was showing around Cloudsdale were too curious. I will have to tell Glaze.... The tour guide thinks. A shiver runs down his back as he unlocks the rusty door. He glances around before entering into the dark room.
