CYOA: A Day in Ponyville

Previous ChapterNext ChapterYou fly at the center of the wing, eyes on the stormy weather headed out of the Everfree Forest. "Nopony's getting wet that didn't sign up for weather patrol!"
One of your fellows, a stallion, laughs. "You said it! Let's take care of this so we can enjoy the sunny day with the rest of us." The wing spread out, different groups approaching different clouds. You stay towards the center, coming up on a big fluffy cloud that looks so very ready to let down way too much rain where it wasn't needed.
"Here we go!" You lift your wings high and—
Lightning flashes. You pull away in time, but the stallion next to you isn't as lucky. He cries out and is thrown away, wings spasming. A few others have the same reaction. You come veering back in, crashing against the rain cloud that had turned into a thunderstorm so very quickly. "Oh no you don't!"
You charge along the cloud, trying to press it away from Ponyville. "Go. Rain. Somewhere. Else!"
A spark of electricity bursts right from the cloud, racing towards you with surprising speed. It crashes into your wing, shocking you and throwing you off course. You smack into another pegasus who wasn't even in your area.
They catch you with a startled squeak and press you back onto your own wings. "This is a riot, huh?" They nudge you back towards your own cloud. "You got this."
"Yeah," you say and lift your wings high again. This time you take a little longer, flying at just the right angle, and slice through the rain cloud like a knife through butter. "Gotcha!"
Rainbow flashes just over your head, cutting it perpendicular to your own path. "Not a chance! C'mon, let's teach this fluffbutt who's really in charge around here!"
You smile as she guides you and the other pegasi. It feels great, swooping along and corralling the errant clouds away from town. You pull more and more until they are all moving in the same direction, safely away from Ponyville and the rest of your friends.
Victorious, you could:
A: Why did that rain come so suddenly, and storm like that?
B: You're wet and miserable, time for a break! Oh, maybe a spa day?
C: Rainbow Dash wants to chillax by the pond. Great idea!
