Stupid cloud! Stupid ship! Stupid laws of physics!

Three attempts in and this had not been going well.

Outside the transport tubes in the city hovered one pegasus pony, staring in irritation at said tubes. One hoof rested on what was unmistakably a cloud -- a puffy, friendly-looking white cloud, just the right size to make a comfy napping spot for a pegasus who, well, really liked napping.

"You stupid tube tentacle... things!" she said, expecting that the ship would somehow respond. "Let me take the cloud up to that Hydro-whatsit place!"

Rainbow Dash caught the cloud between her hooves, pushing it up to where she'd indicated a moment ago. Then she flew back a dozen feet or so, appraising its position thoughtfully.

It must have been all right, because she arced up into the air, tucked her wings in, and somersaulted into the cloud like a filly diving into bed.

"Aaaah," she said, folding her hooves behind her head. "Yep! All better now! Thanks, Applejack!"

"Any time, sugar," Applejack laughed, tipping her hat back one last time. "Now if you don't mind, I'll be hitting the hay."

Naptime sounded wonderful. Good thing she'd done a fair bit of work before Rainbow hit the scene---there was no working afterward.

"You and me both," Rainbow Dash said around a yawn. She was tired, and, well, she could sleep pretty much anywhere, anytime, anyway! One hoof lifted up over the cloud to wave g'night, such as it was.
