It is a nice day in ponyville, the sun is shining, flowers are blooming, and everypony enjoying them selves. The only thing that you could call negative on this perfect day was the fact it was cloudy. With all of the clouds in the sky, nopony could enjoy the warmth of the sun beyond. This is something the best flyer in ponyville wouldn't allow! But unfortunately, the best flyer was sick, so Cuber Snuggles would have to do.
Cuber Snuggles is a ivory colored Pegasus with a mane that is red with black highlights, cut short for a mare, but long for a stallion. Her cutie mark was a light blue pillow with some of the stuffing coming out. She was heading to work when she saw that princess Twilight was talking to Rainbow Dash across the street. Still being relatively new to ponyville, she thought making friends with the local celebrities wasn't a bad idea. But she soon learned that Rainbow Dash wasn't feeling well and wouldn't be able to clear the sky's tomorrow. So, after a couple of minutes of chatting, she offered to fill in.
Rainbow Dash refused at first, but after Twilight gave both of them a speech about the importance of taking care of yourself, and helping others in need, Rainbow Dash agreed only to 'make her shut up" as she put it. So now it's the next day, and the clouds need to go.
"Are you–ACHOO! Sure you can handle it?" Rainbow Dash asked while blowing into a tissue.
Cuber did a mock salute with her hoof "you can count on me, ma'am!"
Rainbow Dash winces at that "please don't call me ma'am. ACHOO! it makes me feel old." She sniffled and wiped he nose with another tissue.
She frowned at this "sorry. I said it out of respect, not age." She said, shrugging her shoulders. She then looks at the sky "looks like I got my work cut out for me, huh?"
"Then what are you waiting for? Get going!" She said, scaring Cuber a little. She then spread her wings and took flight.
She wasn't the fastest flyer, but she was making good time, knocking clouds after clouds. Before long, about a hour, most of the clouds were gone. Except a few that she left for convenience like shade for the pony's below, and resting spots for the pegasi above. She herself was just resting on one of the clouds, feeling the softness of the thing, and taking in the view of the landscape.
"Ah, yes...this is the life." She said, settling in a laying down position. She then pushes her hoof onto the cloud to test it's fluffyness "soft and bouncy" she then punched the cloud to test it's strength, all it does is leave a imprint that after a couple of seconds vanished "good, good" after a little bit of doing nothing, Cuber Snuggles got up from her cloud and smiled "time to make a pillow!"
She started to drag the cloud to her place just a little bit away. It's a two story house with the top floor she uses for living, and the second floor she uses for working. What she sells? Pillows of course! She uses clouds for the stuffing in cases made from a silk that can hold the material.
She shoves the cloud through the front door, and into the sewing room on the first floor. She sets it next to a machine with a crank and a hopper on top, she then pulls a nice sized piece of the cloud, and feed it into the hopper and started to crank. This process creates a material called 'cloud cotton' which could be used for sewing, or as a stuffing for pillows, and that's actually what she is using it for.
