[glow=black,2,300]CLOUD KICKER[/glow] A greyish lavender shape zipped through the sky, driving the clouds away from the town of Ponyville.
Her name was Cloud Kicker. She was a pegasus of Ponyville and shared the job of clearing the sky and organising storms with other pegasi.
Finally the pegasus dispelled of the last cloud in sight and dropped with satisfaction back onto the ground.
Unfortunately she had forgotten the 'disability' in her wings, so she staggered and landed in a heap.
A more in depth description of this disability -- Cloud Kicker was born with a slight twist to one of her wings so, often, when she was flying, she would sometimes veer a little too left. This was most apparent when she was landing after flying too fast. Like now.
The lavender pegasus sprang back up on her hooves, apparently not troubled by the tumble she had gone through. Instead, she trotted along the roads of Ponyville, her violet eyes bright. Right about now was when she'd have a small talk with her friend, Pinch. Of course, he might be busy, but it was only so long she could go without a small chat.

Pinch was walking through the small town of Ponyville. He stopped in his tracks when he saw a familiar pegasus walking down one of the paths.
It was Cloudkicker. One of his dearest friend, and one of the first he made when he moved to Ponyville. He was on break from work, and she seemed to be for the moment, so he thought he might as well say hi.
"Hey, Cloudkicker! What's up?" he asked her.

Big-Mac was setting up his cart for his bi-weekly visit to Ponyville to sell some products. He had the finest, most delicious items he could think of. Apple Acres had been having a bad week, Applejack was busy for the majority with her friends and Big-Mac wasn't too good with new customers.
He was putting up the last of the Apple Pie when he noticed the grey pegasus walked by. He instantly zipped behind his cart, hoping she would notice him and the treats.

[glow=black,2,300]CLOUD KICKER[/glow] "The sky, obviously!"
The mare grinned at Pinch. It was always nice to meet friends on the street. Even though she had wanted to come across him, still.
Then a delicious scent wafted over to her nostrils. Cloud Kicker was immediately paralysed, before bouncing enthusiastically on her hooves. "Smell that, Pinch?" she called excitedly, her wings giving her a little lift. "Apples!"
Cloud Kicker's eyes roamed the area hungrily before coming across Big Macintosh. Cloud Kicker's gaze turned to the treats and her mouth watered. She looked over at Pinch, a questioning look in her violet eyes. "Do you mind?" she asked, already beginning to inch toward the cart.

Rory was walking through town when he saw three familiar ponies: He had met Big Mac a few times before, he had seen Cloudkicker around, and he had met Pinch a few times. He noticed that Big Mac was selling apple products. Pinkamena only made cupcakes at the farm, and decided to buy an apple fritter.

Pinch smiled a little. He always did love Cloudkicker's spirit. It seemed to challenge Pinkie Pie at times.
"Heh. Not at all, Cloudy," he said.

[glow=black,2,300]CLOUD KICKER[/glow] "Whoo!" Cloud Kicker darted to the cart, but then skidded back, allowing Rory to go first. "Stallions first," she offered politely, challening the saying 'ladies/mares first'. Cloud Kicker always loved being spontaneous. After all, being normal was just boring!
Her violet eyes concentrated on the different treats. Apple pie, apple fritter... What should she get? Finally, she decided that this time, she would get a pie. She licked her chops, and folded up her wings -- a rare thing that she rarely did. She was almost the opposite of everything -- when she was regular, her wings were upright. When she was excited, her wings folded.

With all the customers coming towards him, Big-Mac gladly gave them each a treat and thanked them for their service. He had met Pinch and Rory before, but the grey pegasus was a new sight for him. He decided to say something to her.
"Hey Pinch, Rory...and um...I'm sorry mam, I don't believe we've met. Names Big-Mac, proud worker at Apple Acres, eeyup."

"Thank you," said Rory, buying an Apple Fritter and giving her a few bits. "That is for letting me go first," he said, with a smile. He sat down on a park bench and ate his fritter.

[glow=black,2,300]CLOUD KICKER[/glow] "You're welcome!" Cloud Kicker cried back to Rory. Then she turned back to Big Macintosh and pondered what he said.
"Apple Acres?" Cloud Kicker paused only for a moment before a lightbulb popped into her head. "Oh yeah! You're Applejack's brother." Then, hesitating, she added, "Right?" There weren't any resemblence. And he didn't look like Applejack's father. Then she suddenly realised something, and tossed in quickly, "Cloud Kicker's my name."
Then she added, "Thank you." She gave him a few bits from a nonexistent wallet before gingerly picking up the pie with her front hooves, resorting to flying upright.

Pinch looked up at Cloudkicker as she was enjoying the apple pie. He couldn't help but chuckle a little.
"Careful. You might beat Soarin' at his own game." he said trying to surpress his laughter.

[glow=black,2,300]CLOUD KICKER[/glow] "Soarin'?" It took a few moments for the name to register. She offered him a guilty smile. "I like pies." Then she began to chew on a corner of the pie, waiting for Big Macintosh's confirmation.

Big-Mac smiled back as Cloud Kicker said her name, he didn't know many Pegasi, but she seemed like a cool one to meet. "Well, you're correct there! Applejack is my lil' sis', I pride myself in how I brought her up!"
"So, what brings a flyin' pony like you down to Ponyville?"

[glow=black,2,300]CLOUD KICKER[/glow] Cloud Kicker grinned. "I was born here. My job is, like, being one of the sky-clearing pegasi." Then she stopped, thinking hard about his accent. Him. That was rather strange. Oh well. Cloud just took it in her stride as she replied with a rhetorical question.
"You brought them up?" She hadn't known that.

Big-Mac rustled his hooves in the ground under the cart as he talked to her, he still wasn't the best with meeting ponies for the first time.
"Wel...well yes I did bring AJ and Applebloom up. Our parents left myself in charge so they could go help their parents out on their farm."
