Flitter blushed even more at Cloudchaser's statement. "Oh hush you..." She whispered back. Cloudchaser flew up and brought back a small cloud for Snowball to try and push. Flitter let out small chuckle at her first attempt at moving the small cloud.

Flitter looked down as Snowball became almost one with a piece of cloud that she had. Deciding to meet her half way. "See clouds are not hard to move at all. Just look at yourself.. you literally are the cloud now." She teased the small filly.

Flitter flew up grabbed a cloud for her self. "Now that you know that you can move the cloud." She explained. "You just need to focus on keeping yourself balanced in the direction you want to push it!" Flitter began moving the cloud angling it in various direction to show her how to steer it.

Watching Flitter fly up toward a mass of small clouds, Snowball stuck her forehooves out of the cloud, opening a hole in the white fluffy mass to pull herself free. With a bit of struggle, she finally managed, coming out of the cloud with a pop and falling a few feet before flaring her wings and catching herself.

Already she was starting to get her wings warmed up again, catching a thermal as she brought herself into the air. It was a slower start than usual, but Snowy was finally back up to speed as far as flying was concerned. Lifting herself up to Flitter's level, she took a cloud from the group, putting her hooves on it and steering it around. At first it seemed she was doing alright, but when the cloud wasn't stopping, Snowy's smile faded as she sped up, circling around the cloud to avoid losing it. "How about making it stop...?" she asked.

"Now your getting the hang of it." Flittler praised Snowballs efforts. Though she forgot to mention how to stop it. Oops. "Oh sorry." Flitter apologized for failing to mention that bit. How often does one actually think about every step after learning how to do one of the most basic things a Pegasus can do.

"There are two ways to stop a cloud." Flitter started to explain. "The first method is to fly out in front of it and then slow it down by pushing in the opposite direction it is going." Usually this only worked if the person controlling the cloud was not at top speed and there for could get get in front of it.

Flitter began pushing her cloud in a straight line for a little bit, before letting it go and flying in front of the cloud turning around then pushed on the cloud in the opposite direction till it stopped. "Like that?" Flitter smiled.

"The other method though.. is grabbing on to the cloud and pulling back flapping your wings backwards or even just holding them out against the wind to slow the cloud down." She once again began moving her cloud a bit faster this time. Once up to speed she stop pushing and reached her front legs around the cloud and then holding her wings out to let the air resistance slow it down. Once the cloud was at not moving as fast she flapped her wings counting to tug on it till it came to a stop. "And .. it stopped." Flittler announced as she then let go of the cloud and settling on top of it to rest a bit. "At least those are the two basic methods of stopping the cloud.

CC watched as Flitter took the lead on explaining the methods of cloud movement. She felt she wouldn't have been able to explain it as well as Flitter could, she was far more capable with teaching than Cloudchaser was. She simply yelled words of encouragement as Snowball slowly learned 'The Ways of The Cloud.'

"Just listen to Flitter Snowy! She's the best weatherpony in town, so you're learning from the best!"

Once she had regained control of her cloud, Snowy began to move it the opposite direction, taking it slow at first while she tried to learn the basics. Just keep a grip on the cloud, and... she whispered to herself, flaring her wings back and coming to a hover, allowing the cloud to stop with her.

It was really simple, making the cloud stop with her. Nevertheless Snowball was happy about her success, probably a bit happier than she should have been, and so she happily fluttered about the cloud, whistling a happy little tune she had heard in school.

"Very good.. your getting the hang of it now!" The next few minutes were just spent moving clouds around to the point there were enough clouds over Sweet Apple Acres so that the whole farm area was covered. Once enough clouds were in place, the weather team leader for the day signaled to every one that it was time to start to make it rain.

"Snowball, Cloudchaser, are we ready to start jumping on the clouds?" She grinned. Really this was the fun part. Just jumping around the top of the clouds to stimulate the cloud to start raining. The forced compression of the cloud forced the droplets together to the point it would start to rain. It was also really fun to just jump around like on a trampoline, just the trampoline was a layer of clouds.

Jumping on clouds. Now that sounded fun. Once the mass of clouds had been positioned over the farm, the small team of pegasi stood on the soft surface, ready to begin hopping on the team leader's signal. The pony looked down at a watch, then up at the sun, before blowing a whistle, to which everypony began to jump.

As everypony jumped up and down, the interim leader flew underneath, inspecting the clouds to make sure everything was going as planned. For the most part, everything was going just fine, though there was one small problem.

"Flitter, Cloudchaser." the stallion called out to get their attention, before coming toward them. "There's something not right here, you two. There's snow coming out of your cloud." he informed them, looking at each of them in turn before turning his gaze on Snowball. He saw the cutie mark on her flank, and raised an eyebrow, his mouth remaining shut. "...Just keep on doing what you're doing, I'll talk to you about it later." he said, deciding it best if Snowball weren't around to hear this.

Flitter looked toward the intern leader when their names were announced momentarily stopping her jumping to listen to him. When he stated something was not right with their section. She drew a confused look. The instructor looked at the small filly, and then told them to resume what they were doing.

Flitter shrugged. Wonder what was wrong? Flitter wondered. Though she would get to know later from the Stallion. "Let's resume then!" Flitter stated. She resumed her jumping.

CC wondered what had gone wrong as she examined the area after the interim leaders departure. "We'll find out later I guess... Let's keep jumpin'!" Cloudchaser darted all around jumping happily across each cloud to make it start raining.

"I always loved this part!" She beamed happily as she continued her dance across the clouds.

As the young filly bounced between the clouds, she seemed to be having the time of her life jumping on the white fluffy things which were surprisingly bouncy. She jumped up, fluttering happily as she looked down - OH CELESTIA SHE WAS HIGHER THAN SHE THOUGHT - and leaned forward, falling into the cloud facefirst, the sound of a pillow getting bucked echoing in the clouds, a few wisps flying out where her face was.

The perfect faceplant didn't hurt her in the least. However she was now seeing stars and snowflakes as she pulled her face out of the cloud.

Flitter was also enjoying her time. A fun day such as this was just what Cloud and her needed. Snowball was enjoying her self as well as she fluttered about. On one particular jump she went bit high and accidentally face planted a cloud. Flitter had done that a few times... for fun more back when she was younger as well. It did not hurt at all. But if done by accident can startler one self.

Flitter flew over and landed by side Cloud with small chuckle. "You alright?" She asked offering a hoof to help up? Snowball head emerged from the cloud with what appeared to be a few snowflakes in her mane. Flitter was a bit surprised to see that. Especially given this time of year. How strange.. She thought to herself. Shouldn't be snowflakes in the clouds at this time of year.. unless at a much higher altitude.

Flitter reached down and brushed some of the snowflakes of out Snowballs mane. "You have fun now?" She smiled at her.

Noticing a hoof come out toward her, she looked up and saw the two pegasi looking down at her, the one with the pretty bow reaching out to help her back up onto her hooves. Accepting it, she shook the last of the dazed feeling out of her head before smiling at Flitter and responding with a simple "uh huh".

The jumping continued, until at last there was a loud rumbling coming from the clouds, to which the manager blew a whistle to signal that the job was done. Snowy, who was in mid-jump, landed on the cloud and bounced up again, her wings catching her before she touched it again, slowing her down to an easy landing.

The sound of the whistled signaled the end the jumping up and down. "Awe..." Flitter stated with mach disappointment as she came to a rest on a cloud. Flitter looked over toward Cloudchaser with a fake pout. Looking over toward Snowball who had came to a rest as well. Flitter was still curious about the snow and what the instructor wanted to talk to them about.

Flitter walked over and stood by Cloudchaser with a grin. "So..." She leaned in close.. "Feeling better now?" Flitter fluttered her eyes a bit. She was had to ask.. Flitter had spent the most time talking to Snowball which left Cloudchaser a bit to herself for most of the bouncing portion of the exercise.

With the sound of the whistle, CC stopped her jumping and fell onto the cloud, almost nodding off as she rested her head on the soft surface. She giggle at Flitter as she made faces at her before she came over to her cloud.

"Why don't you keep having fun with your new friend." Cloudchaser teased, sticking her tongue out in mockery. She stood up and nuzzled Flitter quickly, "But I'm fine, thanks for asking." CC chimed as she gave Flitter a light kiss on the cheek.

"Alright." She nuzzled her back. "I did not want to make you feel left out." She looked over at Snowball and waved for her to come over. The scheduled shower for the Apple family Orchard was pretty much over. There was still the matter with what ever the instructor had to tell us about what exactly happened during the jumping portion in their section.
