"LB!!!!!!!!!!!" Bellowed Fire Strength, "get back home RIGHT NOW young filly! You're late!"

Lightning Bliss heard her angered father roar at her from a nearby cloud in the distance and didnt hesitate to flutter off towards him. She gave Ancient a quick tail wave before buzzing up to the cloud to meet her much bigger stallion father pegasus, a hard worker of the cloud thunder makers. She could clearly see his proud big stallion chest standing firm and straight with his head, white and glimming in the sunlight. His mane was short and curly that was attached to his beard and mustache, black and white in a salt n' pepper mix up. His tail he always kept short like a sheep tail fuzz.

She came to a hover just a few feet in front of him, hesitent to land on the cloud with him just by looking at his stance. His wings were pointed up and out wide to make himself look even bigger, his cutie mark, a set of weights that were on fire, seemed to be burning with anger off his flanks.

"Dad," Bliss answered quietly, "how am I late? We're not supposed to go home to mom for another hour I thought?"

"Well if you haven't been wasting time with one of your little hobbies," her father's nostrils flared, "you would have noticed that hour came and left! Your little sister is waiting for you back at my cloud to fly her home and Celestia knows what your mother will nag at me next with blaming me for you two being late!"

"Mom doesn't do that dad, you know that," Bliss said immediatly defending her mother, knowing once again the fact that they were divorced was gonna send another spew of turmoil her way, "I'll let her know it was my fault, ok?"

"Pony feathers..." he snorted and turned to face where their home was and flew towards it, with Bliss following loyally behind.

"So...Dad?" Bliss flew up to her father's side, "did you see me do it? The Rainboom?"

"I did," he snorted again, "hope you knew what you were doing, because it appeared you were all over the place."

"Heh yeah, I kinda was..."

"You dont think things through Blissy," Fire Strength snorted again but his tone had mellowed some, "you need to learn to focus your ideas before you attempt to start one. Always rushing blindly into the idea before planning ahead. That's what foals do and you're not a foal anymore. You need to start acting like a proper mare and start focusing on what matters, like finding a job and completing your education in Flight School."

"But Dad," she blinked in surprise, "I have always been doing good in my studies! I just haven't had any luck in finding a job in Cloudsdale yet... I have been looking though and..."

"And what? Nothing that's what," he snorted again, "you still don't have a job. Your elder sister Soft Kite has a job in feather massage thearpy, your other sister Blooming Dale has a foal on the way and is married to a stallion with a job at least, and here you are still in flight school and no job at all...What does your mother teach you all day I wonder..."

"Mom encourages me to do my best...I figured you would do the same," now it was Bliss's turn to snort, she was getting fed up with her father talking ill will of her mother.

"She may encourage you to do your best but I'm trying to prep you for the real world, and the real world is gonna walk all over you if you dont get your feathers in gear and be ready to find a job!" At that Fire Strength snorted like a wild mustang and kicked his hindlegs next to the nearest puff of cloud they came across to push him onward faster, just in time as they were reaching their small home on a larger cloud that drifted with a few others just outside Cloudsdale.

In the distance Bliss could see her younger baby filly sister Rose Lips sitting on a cloud outside their door waiting annoyingly for their arrival. She was a young teen filly who only just got her cutie mark 3yrs back. She had a light brown coat and golden shaggy mane and tail that was hip of the city at the time. Her face was all beautified with makeup that Bliss always thought she put too much on, but it certaintly signified her cutie mark in everyway. It was a pair of bright red lips paired with yellow roses to symoblize her love of makeup and creativity. Even though Bliss hated makeup she was still proud to know her sister had finally found her talent.
