DM: I figure I don’t need to make you roll again – you got this.
Rainbow Dash: Probably not going to be a “10 seconds flat” job without my racing Cutie Mark, though.
Rarity: Perhaps not, but you can still fly and interact with the clouds directly, which is something I can’t do. And let’s face facts – I can’t match your raw speed, even with magic.
DM: Plus, at this level, you can use precise pegasus techniques like mini-tornadoes to blow the clouds away faster.
Rainbow Dash: …Okay, do you just have a whole LIST of awesome pegasus things that you haven’t told me about?
DM: No, I’m just kind of inventive on the spot like that. But I can make a list sometime. …Anyway, it’s not a “10 seconds flat” job, but easily within 10 minutes, Ponyville is enjoying perfect weather and beautiful sunshine again.
Rainbow Dash: Phew. Y’know what? I like being good at what I do. Who wouldn’t, right?
Twilight Sparkle: Alright, time for the Element– Wait, are you… tearing up?
Rarity: Oh, sorry. I just thought “I’m so lucky to have Rainbow as a friend” and now I don’t know how to feel.
Rainbow Dash: Yeah, I wouldn’t know either, to be fair.
