Okay, I just noticed that there are pegasii actually controlling the weather. Literally, they are moving clouds around to make it rain and things like that. That is so neat!

So can all horses do that? If I were to fly up there, could I kick the clouds away or make them shoot lightning? Because that would be the coolest thing.

Shishi! I s'pect you probably need wings to get up there to even try! You got some of them?

[whywouldyoubuckleup]

Yeah. Well, I will, once I fix the straps and modify them a little bit.

[ghostgem]

Straps? Are they fake?

[whywouldyoubuckleup]

Well, they aren't like actual pegasus wings. But they do work.

[ghostgem]

Hmmm... Well, you know what I think? I think ya probably need to be an ACTUAL... ah... what'd ya call it... pegasus? Yeah! I think it's probably intrinsic to bein' a pegasus! Though you're sure welcome to try.

[Audio]

[elementofloyalty]

Nope, it's purely a pegasus thing. Unicorns change the seasons, earth ponies tend to the crops and the animals, and pegasi are weatherponies.

[Audio]

[whywouldyoubuckleup]

Unicorns control the seasons? Are you serious? Like the actual seasons?

[Audio]

[elementofloyalty]

Believe me, it was just as weird discovering that it DOESN'T work that way on OTHER worlds.

[Audio]

[whywouldyoubuckleup]

How could they possibly control the seasons? I mean that's based on so many other things! Why would they need to control the seasons?

[Audio]

[elementofloyalty]

Magic. Though here in Ponyville we wrap up winter by hoof, it's an old tradition.

[Audio]

[surpriserainbows]

You get up here you can try jumping around and kicking the clouds, but it ain't gonna do nothing man.

[Audio]

[whywouldyoubuckleup]

That blows.

It isn't just a wing thing?

[Audio]

[surpriserainbows]

Naw. You have to be a pegasi. It's our "gift", I guess. Earth ponies control the food and plants, we control the weather, the unicorns control everything.

[Audio]

[whywouldyoubuckleup]

So basically... anyone who isn't a unicorn got screwed over at birth. I mean it even sounds like pegasi get gypped. If the unicorns can change the friggin' seasons, then they could totally do the weather.

[Audio]

[surpriserainbows]

Well the unicorns can't change the seasons on their own. They'd still need us man.

[But wow. Holy crap does she agree. She agrees with that assessment so damn bad.]

We've all got our role to play, you know? You just got to get used to it.

[Audio]

[tinkertytonk]

It really is the elephant's eyebrow! I'm not entirely sure anypony but pegasi can have at it, though. The Doctor had me bring one of the clouds down for him and he just went straight through. It's bizarre. Ms. Dash told me that every type of pony's got their own sort of talent, though. Are you an Earth Pony or a Unicorn?

[Audio]

[whywouldyoubuckleup]

So you've already tried it? Damn. I was hoping if I could just fly up there... [Sigh. Oh well, maybe he can't control the weather, but he'll figure something else out.]

Uh, I'm just a horse. The non-magical kind of horse.

[Audio]

[tinkertytonk]

Well, erm... perhaps there's a spell? Ms. Cynthia was asking about something for her Pokemon to be able to walk on clouds. Maybe one of the unicorns could do something for you.

Cheer up, though, old boy! I'm sure you've got something else you can do that's equally marvelous. Earth Ponies are supposed to have some sort of nose for things closer to the ground, if I'm remembering properly. Ever thought of becoming an, er... [What sorts of jobs did the Earth Ponies he knew have?] A farmer? Or a baker? Possibly an herbalist? [Zecora counted as an earthly type, right?]

[Audio]

[whywouldyoubuckleup]

You haven't seen the tools that they use for manual labor here, have you?

[Audio]

[tinkertytonk]

Ms. Applejack lent Vantas a plow and seedy thingummy. Is that not how they normally look? Truth be told, old fruit, I'm more a city chap than a country cove. This is all rather new.

[Audio, as in called out from under the picnic table next door]

[buckleupforsafety]

If we could fly up there, we could live on a cloud! Why did we get shafted?

[Called back]

[whywouldyoubuckleup]

Did you see that about the unicorns controlling the seasons? We seriously got screwed! Oh my god, I don't want to be a farmer!

[buckleupforsafety]

No, I didn't!

[He crawls his way out from under the table and heads closer to 21.]

We just have to stay down here and get rained on or snowed out or tornadoed when the unicorns and pegasus decide? How is that fair?

[whywouldyoubuckleup]

It totally isn't fair. It's the most unfair thing ever. And one dude said that pegasus can somehow use their wings like a hand.

I would seriously kill for a superscientist right now. Or at least someone who knows more about mechanical stuff than we do.

[buckleupforsafety]

Wing hands? Do you know how many things I've snapped in half with my mouth when I tried to pick them up?

Do they have the...superscientist stuff superscientists need to make their inventions? Or would it be the pizzas all over again?
