I was trotting up to the others when Soar called out to me. I trotted up and looked where he aimed his dipped snout. What was that? The sky was grey! It was wilting! "Soar! We must tell the others!" So Soar and I raced up to Sapling "The sky is wilting! The sky is wilting!" Sapling looked at us and snorted with delight. "It is a storm, geniuses." Soar looked at me then at the flashing sky. He started to canter to the other side of the field. I looked up. The storm clouds were rolling above me, now. Feather snorted a giggle then straightened up when I trotted over to him. "If it takes down me, it takes you down too!" Feather snorted then trotted away. The lightning flashed furiously as if it wanted revenge. "I want revenge on feather too!" I agreed. What I didn't think that it actually wanted to attack ME! The thunder hissed above me, showing no signs of fear or mercy. Mercy was the last thing on my mind. "Aren't ponies stubborn?" I overheard Sapling and Feather. I am not going to let this be the end of this new stables! "I am doing this for you, stables. And you, backscratching door. And you, Aqua, even though you backstabbed me." So I, stubborn as I am, stood there. Aqua caught my eye and ran next to me, hoping for an explanation. I turned my back and saw a thunderbolt flying down at us. Instinctively, I jumped back. But Aqua was focused on that pony. That heartbeat seemed to last an hour. I wish my heart never beat then. The thunderbolt hit Aqua. His body vibrated as it hit the ground. I was vibrating too, as if some of that lightning crawled up my body. "Nooooooooooo!"
