Understanding Confusion

This is the fourth day staying with Thunder and his out-of-sight marefriend. It's weird that I never saw her. Probably because I never use the front door; I live in the attic that has a window leading to the roof of the cloud house, you guessed it, I use the window. Mainly because I feel like I'm disturbing them. How do I eat if I don't step downstairs? Simple, I make sure nopony is around and sneak in the kitchen for snacks whenever I can. The only conversation happens when Thunder and I are working. Speaking of which...

"How come I never see you after work Burn?" Clap asks.

"I said 'you'll never notice me' and I mean it."

"But I notice that there is less food whenever I turn my back to the fridge."

"I can't help it. By the way, I never saw Weather System, yes, I don't step in the living room but I have to at least hear her talk or something."

"She... She won't be coming soon." his voice grim.

"What do you mean."

"I probably shouldn't tell you this, but I need to talk about it to someone."

"You're scaring me, tell already."

"We had... an argument." An argument? after I settled with them? This can't be good "Sys said that I should not make decisions without discussing." Was it me? "She said that it won't work out this way." at that moment curiousity broke me.

"What started the argument?"

"It was... bringing you to stay." He saw the color drain from my face "Nonono, no you, the decision itself was the problem. And frankly, it's not the first time I hand down judgment without asking her."

"How come I never heard you?"

"I guess it happened when you were away."

"Do you know where she is?"

"Not exactly, I know where she works. But why?"

"You'll have your mare back if it kills me... I hope it doesn't get that far."

We were done with clearing some clouds and creating a minor storm someplace. Time to stalk Weather. We wait for her at a key point, and sure enough, there she is... or is it that one?

"Hey Clap, what does she look like?" He facehoofs.

"Let me do the watching, you jus- There she is"

"Ok, now remember that 90% of life is mere words, you have to nail the body language as well."

"I thought you had amnesia, how do you know so much."

"I simply don't know what I know I just know, You know?"

"Wha- whatever" He flies away to meet his love. I watch closely from inside the cloud. He is talking to her and apparently she's loosening up to him. Arms uncross bit by bit, face slowly easing up, glare dying by the second. It's working. She hugs him! Yay! I feel so relieved. He flies my way and pulls me out of the cloud.

"Sys, I'd like you to meet Cloud Burn, Cloud Burn, this is Weather System."

"Uh... hello." How could he put me such a situation?!

"Nice to finally meet you Cloud." She said with a smile and a slight chuckle.

"Same here..." Quick! Think of something!

"How about we all have lunch back at the house?" Clap said. Thank you!

"Let's go, I'll cook" Sys said.

"You weren't kidding when you said she takes her time!" I whisper to Thunder who is sitting beside me on the kitchen table. And he looks really bored.

"Whatever you do, don't comment." he said

"Is it that horrible?"

"No, her cooking is great actually. Don't comment on the delay."

"Why would I?"

"She'll ask you."

"Lunch is served!" Sys said "Sorry for taking so long, did I bore you two?"

"Not at all, we were having a friendly conversation actually." He said

"Ok, then. What are you waiting for? Dig in!" She said to both of us.

"Clap, you're one lucky guy." I said after finishing lunch. Sys was upstairs doing... something.

"You have no idea."

"I think I'm going outside for some fresh air" I get up.

"What are you talking about? This is a cloud, air can't be fresher than this." By the time he said that I was at the door.

"You know what I mean." I close the door behind me and fly away.

"What to do now? The park of course. Crazy things always happen there." I mutter to myself. I land at the park and take a seat on the bench. The first thing I notice was a purple baby dragon being pulled by two magical auras, one was for Lyra, the other belonged to a purple mare.

"The lucky dude!" I cannot help but envy. I quickly shift my gaze away because jealousy was eating me alive. I really wish I had a marefriend.

"I bet you can't lick your elbow." a filly said to a another

"Oh yeah? Watch." Then she attempted the action but failed. She tried again and again and again. so I decided to give it a try.

"This is so hard!" I say to myself

"Hehehe, this is fun. What are you doing?" The same pink mare from that other day was sitting beside me now.

"Licking my elbow?"

"Can I play?"

"Sure, why not?" She then started to lick her elbow and succeeded. "You make it look easy."

"It is easy. Just lick your elbow, not that complicated, hehe"

"Ok, I'm Cloud Burn"

*GASP* That gasp almost vacuumed me into her lungs.

"You're new in town and I didn't throw you a party yet butyouweresofastandnevercamedownfromthecloudsandIdon'tknowwhereyouliveand-"

"Whoa, whoa, whoa. Easy with the breath, just tell me your name."

"It's Pinkie Pie. gotta go bye!" That rhymed. Reminds me of a certain zebra.

"see you later?" She was out of sight by the time I said 'later'. Sometimes, I can't understand ponies.

I look around for any craziness I can find. Nothing.

*WHOOSH*

"Hey! That almost ripped my head off!"

"Sorry Mr. we didn't mean to-" A yellow filly said.

"It's ok, I've been through worse. And it didn't hit me anyway."

"Hey, where is your cutie mark?" an orange Pegasus filly asked me.

"Does that mean we'll never have our cutie marks like you?" a snow-white unicorn asked. She seemed at the verge of tears.

"I don't know. I guess I lost it with my memory." I tried to comfort them a bit. It worked.

"So ya need ta find it again?"

"I think so..." Uh-oh. That probably was the wrong thing to say because they were giving me a look of a serial killer.
