"Rainbow Dash!" Twilight snaps, shaking water out of her mane. "That's not funny!"

So much for "fine".

Poor Rarity is trying so hard to get the sky to look just right for today. Maybe if she'd arrange the clouds that way instead of the other—

Splash!

That went wrong.

"Terribly sorry, darling. I'm... I'm afraid I'm not good with the thundery ones."

Must they be so tempestuous?

Why can't she get them to behave this time?

Has something gone wrong?

[no_vampires_plz]

...

What?

That--the clouds--her cutie mark--what?!

"Something tells me everything is not going to be fine..."

Twilight gapes, then gallops up to Rarity's side. "What are you doing? What happened to your cutie mark??" She points a forehoof at the rainbow-striped lightning bolt on her friend's flank. THAT IS NOT YOUR CUTIE MARK, RARITY.

Oh, honestly. That would make for a great joke if you were Pinkie Pie.

"Whatever do you mean, Twilight? I'm simply doing what I've done since the day it first appeared."

Hmmm. Checkerboard. Yes!

"Doesn't my sky look fabulous?"

Now it can snow and storm and be sunny all at the same time!

Only no pony else seems to agree with it.

Oh dear.

"Too last season?"

[no_vampires_plz]

It is, in fact, too last season. And too next season, and the season after that, as the ponies gathering around her to complain are all too eager to point out.

"Where is Rainbow Dash?" Twilight calls, trying to make herself heard above the shouting. "Why isn't she handling this?"

Something is very, very wrong here.
