The New Weather Pony

Celetia’s sun shone through the small rectangular window of the large bedroom, illuminating two stallions cuddling together on a king sized bed. The two were holding each other in a tight embrace, barely giving one another room to move. The sky blue pegasus nuzzled softly against the dark grey pegasus wrapped between his hooves, causing him to purr softly.

“Good morning.” Stratosphere said softly, continuing to nuzzle the stallion craving his attention. Thunderlane struggled to turn and face the sky blue stallion who had him in a tight grip. Eventually he managed to shuffle about until he was muzzle to muzzle with the sky blue  pegasus. He planted a kiss on the stallion’s soft lips, holding it there for a minute. He then pulled back and gazed lovingly at him.“Morning.” he responded to the stallion, cuddling him.”How was your sleep?” he asked Stratosphere. The pegasus grinned at the stallion’s question.“I can honestly say that was the best sleep I have ever had.” he said, smiling at him.”What about you? Did you get much shut eye?”. Thunderlane nodded his head in response. He placed multiple kisses along the stallion’s chest, slowly working his way up. Eventually he came back to the stallion’s muzzle, placing an extra long kiss on the stallion’s lips. The two stayed in the kiss for a few moments before breaking. Stratosphere attempted to roll over in the bed but was quickly grabbed by the second stallion in the bed, who clung on to him with great strength. He glanced over at the stallion who had a small smirk on his face. Stratosphere once again attempted to get up out of the bed but found himself being pulled back by Thunderlane. He turned back to face him again this to find him pouting.“What are you doing?” he asked the dark grey pegasus.“I don’t want you to get out of bed.” Thunderlane pouted. Stratosphere raised an eyebrow.“And why not?” he asked.“I want you to stay and cuddle with me.” he said, gripping the stallion more tightly. Stratosphere grinned and kissed the stallion gently on the cheek.“We can cuddle later Lane, right now I’m gonna make some breakfast.” he said getting up to go make breakfast. For the third time Thunderlane grabbed him and forced him back onto the bed. Stratosphere glared at the pegasus in the bed.

“Alright this is getting slightly annoying now.” he said, a hint of anger in his voice. Thunderlane whimpered softly. Stratosphere let out a small sigh.”Look if you keep this up I’m going to have to carry you with me into the kitchen.” he said. Thunderlane’s eyes suddenly lit up. He jumped onto the stallion the moment the words left his mouth. Stratosphere fell back in surprise, taking Thunderlane with him, causing both of them to fall to the floor. Stratosphere glared at the stallion who fell on top of him. Thunderlane grinned sheepishly, planting a kiss on Stratosphere’s cheek.

“Sorry baby.” he said smiling.“What the hell did you do that for?” Stratosphere asked.”First you won’t let me leave the bed and now you’re knocking me out of it.”. He glared at the stallion.“I just wanted you to carry me into the kitchen.” Thunderlane mumbled, rubbing his hoof against his leg. Stratosphere raised his eyebrow.“What did you say?” he asked.”Did you just ask me to carry you into the kitchen.” Thunderlane nodded sheepishly. Stratosphere grinned at the stallion and in one swift movement picked him up in his forehooves. Thunderlane let out a gasp in surprise. “Does my little colt need me to carry him to the kitchen?” Stratosphere asked playfully. Thunderlane pouted and crossed his hooves.“I didn’t mean it in a coltish way.” he grumbled. Stratosphere chuckled.“I know, I just love winding you up.” he said kissing the stallion. He then proceeded down the corridor towards the kitchen, carrying his stallion in his hooves, both of them giggling as they went along. Stratosphere tried his best not to fall over as he carried the stallion. As soon as they entered the kitchen, Stratosphere toppled over, landing on the stallion he was carrying. The two laughed as they got to their hooves.“Alright, are you happy now?” Stratosphere asked Thunderlane who smiled and nodded back at him.”Good, now what would you like for breakfast?” he asked the stallion. Thunderlane attempted to protest but was halted by a hoof pressed against his muzzle “Ah ah ah, I don’t want to hear it. Since you went to so much trouble last night to make dinner, it’s only fair that I make breakfast.” the sky blue pegasus said. Not seeing any point in arguing, Thunderlane nodded in acceptance and went to sit down at the table, swishing his tail from side to side as he made his way over. Stratosphere followed him with his gaze before his view was blocked by the stallion sitting down. Stratosphere then turned his focus to the kitchen and it’s many cabinets and cupboards. He rummaged around through each one, grabbing pots and pans as he found then as well as taking out a selection of food from the fridge. He set everything up and got to work immediately. As he cooked the kitchen soon began to fill with the delicious smell created by the cooking food. As he was cooking, a little colt wandered into the kitchen, rubbing his eyes as he had just woken up. He looked around the kitchen to see what was making the delicious aroma that was filling the house. He looked at the stallion who was working away, stirring food and preparing plates. He then went over to the table and sat down beside his brother who was busy staring at the cook. The dark grey’s head was resting of his hoof as he stared dreamily at the sky blue pegasus. Rumble waved a hoof in front of the stallion’s face to get his attention, which failed miserably. The smaller colt giggled at his distracted brother. He decided to take more drastic action. He pushed his brother’s hoof out from underneath his head, causing his head to fall and smack against the table. Thunderlane gasp as he face planted into the table, causing Rumble to burst out into a fit of laughter.“Why you little-” Thunderlane grumbled but was cut off by Stratosphere carrying two plates.“Here we are, some hay bacon strips, fried tomato omelets and some waffles.” he said placing a plate down in front of each of the stallions. Rumble’s face lit up at the sight of the delicious meal. He looked over at his brother in confusion.“How come you can never cook this good?” he asked his brother with a puzzled expression.“What are you talking about little bro, I’m a great cook. Did you not see the meal I prepared last night.” he said confidently, crossing his hooves. Rumble raised an eyebrow at him.“What are you talking about, Cloudchaser and Flitter made the meal from last night.” he said, causing Thunderlane to go bright red in the face. Stratosphere raised an eyebrow and smirked at the stallion.“Is that so?” he asked, the grin still plastered on his muzzle.“Of course not!” Thunderlane responded, giving his brother a heavy glare. Rumble didn’t say a word, and began to eat the breakfast that had been prepared for him. “Mhmm! This is amazing, you’re a really good cook. I hope Thunderlane keeps you around.” Rumble said, chowing into the food. “Doesn’t matter if he doesn’t Rumble, I’ll still be next door.” Stratosphere said, returning to the kitchen to grab his plate.“Does that mean you’ll still make me breakfast?” Rumble asked in excitement.“Maybe.” the sky blue pegasus said. He joined the other two stallions and sat down at the table. Stratosphere and Thunderlane followed Rumble’s example and began to tuck into their meals.“So what are guys doing today?” Rumble asked. Stratosphere glanced over at Thunderlane.“I honestly don’t know, any ideas Lane?” Stratosphere asked. Thunderlane thought to himself for a moment.“We could take a trip to Cloudsdale, I know Rumble is always pestering me to take him.” he said looking over at his brother who stuck his tongue out him.“Sounds like a plan. We can get everything ready after breakfast.” Stratosphere said.“Yay! We’re going to Cloudsdale!” Rumble shouted in excitement.“This will be a good opportunity for you to meet my parents.” Stratosphere said casually, nearly causing Thunderlane to choke on his food.“Your parents?!?” Thunderlane asked.

The trip to Cloudsdale wasn’t very far from Ponyville and the weather was perfect for flying. The two older pegasi flew while Rumble rode on Thunderlane’s back. They flew in silence as they made their way towards the city in the clouds. As the approached the clouds structure it quickly overshadowed them. They landed at the east entrance of the city. They made their way through the large cloud streets that were packed with other pegasi and the occasional unicorn. Eventually they reached the city centre.“So what do you wanna do first Rumble?” Thunderlane asked his younger brother. Rumble thought for a moment before answering.“Oh I know, I wanna go see the Wonderbolt Academy!” he said bouncing up and down. Thunderlane grinned and nodded at his brother.“Okay we’ll go to the academy first and I’ll give you a small tour okay?” Thunderlane said. Rumbled beamed in response to his brother. The three pegasi continued to navigate their way through the packed streets of Cloudsdale until they arrived at the Wonderbolt Academy. Thunderlane presented his ID to the stallion at the gate which gave the three of them access to the grounds. After Rumble was satisfied that he had seen everything the academy had to offer the three pegasi head off in the direction of Stratosphere’s parents house. The house was located on the southern part of the city, which was in the more wealthy district. As they arrived at the house both Thunderlane and Rumble stopped and gawped at the large mansion that stood before them. The cloud mansion was incredibly large, almost the size of Princess Twilight’s castle back in Ponyville. A royal guard stood watch at the gate to the mansion. He saluted as he saw Stratosphere approaching. “Sir Stratosphere” he bellowed. Stratosphere nodded back at him.“Good to see you again Shockwave.” Stratosphere responded.”I’m just dropping in to see my parents.” The guard nodded and glanced at the two other ponies with him.“Are they both with you?” he asked the sky blue pegasus. Stratosphere nodded.”Very well, I’ll open the gate for you know. He went inside his guard post and pulled a lever. The large golden gates slowly began to open. Once the gap was wide enough Stratosphere squeezed through the gap, followed by Rumble and then by Thunderlane. The three ponies trotted up the large driveway, which had a large fountain at the centre of it shooting out rainbow coloured water. The three of them made their way to the front door where Stratosphere knocked gently three times. A few moments later the door was opened by an elderly looking pegasus wearing a black suit.“Master Stratosphere!” he said.”What a pleasant surprise, please come in.” he said gesturing the ponies inside. They entered into the mansion. Thunderlane and Rumble were left in awe once again after seeing the size of the foyer.”I’ll inform your mother and father of your arrival.” he said trotting off through one of the doors. Stratosphere turned to face the two ponies who had accompanied him.“So what do you guys think?” he asked sheepishly. The two could only stare in awe.”I’ll take that as you like it.” he said. Before he could speak again one of the doors flee open and a mare trotted out.“Darling!” she shouted trotting over to Stratosphere, hugging him and planting little kisses all over his face. The sky blue pegasus struggled to get out of the mare’s grip, but his efforts were futile.”We weren’t expecting you home so soon. How is everything going in Ponyville?” she asked him.“Everything’s going just fine mother. I actually brought somepony home I would like to introduce to you both.” he said shyly. His mother stared at him, then turned to face the stallion behind him, before looking back at her son.“No!” she gasped. Stratosphere just nodded in response.”Ohh I’m so happy for you darling!” she said pulling her son into another bear hug.“Thanks mother.” Stratosphere said, this time returning the hug.”So where’s father?” he asked.“Oh he had to go into town for a meeting. He should be back for dinner if you would like to stay.” Stratosphere’s mother said. Stratosphere glanced over at Thunderlane and Rumble. “Do you guys mind staying over for dinner?” he asked the two ponies. Thunderlane looked at his brother to confirm he didn’t mind. After a nod from the younger colt Thunderlane turned back to his coltfriend.“We would love to stay.” he said politely. Stratosphere and his mother both beamed.“Excellent!” she said trotting over to Thunderlane and taking him by the hoof.”By the way I’m Diamond Cloud, Stratosphere’s mother.” she said as she led the stallion towards the kitchen.”Now why don’t you tell me all about yourself.” she said. Thunderlane glanced back at his coltfriend and his brother for help. They two only laughed as they followed behind at a distance.
