WELCOME, WEATHER TEAM!
Vests: Blue
The ponies on the Weather Team are in charge of melting and clearing the snow and ice from the land and bringing the proper spring weather conditions back to Ponyville!
Weather Team Groups: • Cloud Clearers: clear the sky of clouds so that the sun warms up the land and melts the snow • Lake Scorers: use ice skates to evenly score the frozen lakes across Ponyville so that the ice breaks into smaller chunks and melts faster • Wing Bringers: travel North to bring home the birds who flew south for the winter
Your Team Captain is Rainbow Dash, so if you have any questions or need any directions, you can go to her!
---
WEATHER TEAM Cloud Clearers • Rainbow Dash - Team Captain! • Whiplash • Rain Shadow • Eris
Lake Scorers • Pinkie Pie • Dash Prince • Blue Sky
Wing Bringers • Derpy Hooves • Stitches • Soarin'

Pinkie Pie had been waiting for the Winter Wrap-Up all year long, as it was one of the grandest events there were for her. After all, she loved any opportunity to use her talents for the good of all Ponyville, and ice skating just happened to be one of her greatest talents. Not to mention, she'd be spending the day skating with one of her very best friends, Dash Prince. This was a day to be excited like no other!
At the crack of dawn, Pinkie had laced up her skates and headed out onto the ice to start the day, twirling and swirling on the slippery surface, waiting for everything to officially begin.

Whiplash zipped around the designated meeting place for most of the Weather Team ponies, aside from the ones who were over at the lake. He noticed he was one of the first ones to make it over, so he casually flopped onto a cloud backwards, so that his head was hanging upside-down over one side. He was wearing his Wonderbolts uniform so that he would get the best aerodynamics while clearing the clouds.

Dash had never been a prompt pony. It wasn't that he didn't want to arrive on time, it was just that it never really seemed to happen so he had accepted it and just given himself over as late. That, however, all changed during Winter Wrap Up, when he got to spend the entire day ice skating with his bestie friend.
Ice skates on, Dash made his graceful way to the lake, where Pinkie Pie was already waiting. "Pinkie Piiiiie!" he called, zooming over. "When do we get this show on the road?"

Eris did not really care about Winter Wrap Up and she didn't understand why everypony was so excited. It was an entire day of repetitive hard work and usually after the first hour, she was ready to get back into her comfy bed--where there were no clouds to be cleared or things to do.
Nonetheless, she was a citizen of Cloudsdale and she had been raised to participate in the Winter Wrap Up. Even her parents did so and they never did anything. So, much earlier than she ever wanted to wake up, Eris did and cleaned herself up so that she could go out and get sweaty.
She took her time flying to the meeting area, uncaring of whether or not she made it on time. Even so, she did, and there was only one other pony there. She floated over to him, settling onto a cloud next to him much more daintily than he was settled. She might have taken more notice of the fact that he was a Wonderbolt had she been more awake, but at the moment, she didn't care.
"Morning," she said, voice quiet.

Winter Wrap up. The best day of the year in Rainbow Dash's opinion since she had been the Weather Team Captain for the past two years in a row. Grabbing her royal blue vest, she put it on and stared at herself in the mirror. She looked a heck of a lot cooler with it on that was for sure. Setting off down towards Ponyville she landed on a branch and stared down at the team. "Alright! Everypony listen up. We can do this the easy way, or the hard way. Cloud Clearers, get clearing. Lake scorers, go break up the ice, and Wing Bringers, bring the birds home. You know what you're supposed to do. Let's go!" With that Rainbow flew back up into the clouds and started bucking them as fast as she possibly could and got a group of them cleared in about ten seconds flat before moving onto the next area.

Soarin' was out of his Wonderbolts uniform, having replaced it for the Blue Weather Team vest for today's activities. He had signed up to be part of the Wing Bringers and get the birds back up north. It was what made the most sense, seeing as he had plenty pf experience with flying in formation and leading things. He wasn't worried about over-stressing himself, I mean, after all, they were just birds. Wasn't like he needed to do any fancy stuntwork, just coordinate with some other Pegasi. "Okay, Wing Bringers! Over here," Soarin said, gesturing the two other pegasi over to him. "Okay, I got a plan on how to do this." Soarin' picked up a loose branch with his teeth and walked over to a large patch of snow. A few hoofprints and some doodling later, and Soarin' had a diagram and flight plan all ready: "Okay, so we're gonna fly in formation until we find the birds. Then, you two wil break off and fly around and behind them, pushing them in our direction. From there, I'll lead them back in this direction with you guys keeping the flock together from the rear. Anypony got any questions about the plan?"

Late!
Of course she was late. On the one morning it really mattered, Rain Shadow was late. For Winter Wrap Up! It was one of her favorite times because most ponies didn´t give her a hard time or laugh at her for liking weather and wanting to be in the clouds. She was galloping, but as she drew closer to the meeting place, she saw other ponies already in the air. She flapped her wings and rose off the ground.
"Rainbow Dash! Sorry --"
The dark blue pegasus whizzed past Rainbow Dash, the Weather Team captain, and broke through a cloud.
"-- that I´m --"
She broke two more clouds with well-aimed kicks from her front and back hooves respectively.
"-- late!"
She apologized and she continued up into the air. When she realized no one else was clearing, she paused, panting slightly from her effort and speed. She looked at two other pegasi nearby on a cloud.
"Um..." She looked around awkwardly. "We are... starting, right?"
Great. Now she looked like an idiot. Well, at least she was showing her dedication to the team.

Rainbow Dash's rose colored irises grew wide as a dark blue pegasus flew past her and began to kick various clouds around her. A smile crossed Rainbow's face at the fact that she had already started working hard from the get go. "It's fine, as long as you're doing your job." she replied as she went back to the matter at hand.

So maybe perhaps she hadn't been early, as she had planned to be- or even on time, actually, but at the very least Blue was here, and it was a chance to meet new ponies. Hopefully. Possibly. Maybe. Maybe not? She shook her head and trotted over to the lake near the Weather Team base, squinting at two ponies already there and apparently having a very good time ice skating and talking with each other. Hmm. Well, that was reassuring. Could she- would they- oh, where was her brother when she needed him to make friends and socialize?
She looked at the Pegasi up above; some were lounging around on clouds, some were hovering and spelling out the game plan, and some- well, two, really, one dark blue Pegasi and a light blue one whom she supposed was the leader of their team- clearing out the clouds already. It was nice to see that the ponies on this team were already working hard to get spring here.
Hesitantly, now somewhat unsure if this had been a good idea, she laced up her skates and slowly slid onto the lake, standing there awkwardly for a moment before making her way over to the two ponies already skating around. "...Hello," she said, tilting her head slightly at them.
