Aqua fallows after a few minutes with Fluttershy next to her. The pegasus had shown up when Rainbowdash left. "d-do you k-know what she's gonna try?" Aqua says quietly to her.
"no, but I don't think I want to get involved" Fluttershy says back to her looking a bit afraid like Aqua did.

Lightning looked over at Rainbow Dash flying off. He stomped his hoof in childish irritation, "Hey!" he shouted galloping after her, "Wait up!"

All of the ponies arrived at the practice grounds where the Pegasus ponies were quickly assembling the thunder clouds. Swift trotted on one, finding the center of it. "ahh yes this should do just fine"
The skies grew darker in the area as the storm was nearing completion. "Alright I think we're good. LETS ROCK THIS CLOUD!!" Rainbow Dash announced

Fluttershy and Aqua hid far from the others.

Blaze gave a little whinny-snort. He didn't want to condone such danger, but he was excited to see what happens.
The thunder cloud was in place and Rainbow Dash was positioning herself to go first.
"All right! Here I go!" She said and dived down with blinding speed at the cloud, and crashed through it! No lightning bolt was seen but there was certainty a loud boom of thunder.
"Agh! I was so close!" She said, and flew back up to try again.

The shy ponies were hiding Aqua under Fluttershy's wing a magic barrier around them both

Lightning chuckled, "Good try R.D! That was some loud thunder, I'll give ya that!" he walked towards another thunder cloud, standing underneath it, "C'mon! Let's see some lightning!

"Hey aqua?" Fluttershy started to speak "Don't you think we should be supporting our friends? I know it's scary, but...if something happened, shouldn't we be there to help?"
"Yeah yeah I'm workin on it!" Rainbow Dash called down to Lightning. Swift jumped on the thundercloud, creating more noise and then made an "x" in the center of the cloud. "Rainbow dash! I have an idea! If you can hit this point exactly in the center of the cloud, you should be able to do it this time! Then I wanna give it a try~" Rainbow Dash spotted the "x" in the cloud which was starting to disappear "Alright awesome! Let's go!" Rainbow attempted again, hitting the spot where the mark was, but was slightly off. Another thunder clap sounded accompanying a strong spark. Almost there.

"I-I don't know...." Aqua shuddered at the clap of thunder, "o-o-o-ok" she says shaking a little as she crawled out of the bush.

After Rainbow Dash completed her second attempt, Twilight Sparkle and Applejack arrived. "What on earth is going on over here?" Twilight asked. Rainbow halted on her way back up to the cloud "oh this? right. We were just working on a new trick to create and ride lightning down from a thunder cloud!"
"Woah there now. Doesn't that seem a bit dangerous? and...we?" Applejack asked. "Everyone keeps saying that. Sure it could be but how else can I learn this trick? oh! also Swift Shot is up there too. And look~ we have supervision" Rainbow directed attention to Blaze, Aqua, Fluttershy, and Lightning.
Swift peered down from one of the clouds to see where Rainbow went and saw the new arrivals. She thought she might as well attempt to ride the lightning to go down and see them so she whipped out her pair of Soren's old goggles, put them on and went for it. She created a similar spark like Rainbow's second attempt, but didn't land so gracefully and smacked right into the ground. "heeeeeeeeey wassup?" she greeted in a dazed tone

Lightning chuckled, helping Swift from the ground, "Good landing, Swifty. I give it a 7 out of 10. Could have used a little work," he chuckled, looking up at Applejack and Twilight, "C'mon! It'll be awesome! Even I was able to do that! Though, when I do it, I can go up and down! Watch--" Lightning's body suddenly glowed a blue color, before it surged quickly up into the top of the cloud he was under, "--Up!" Lightning's body glowed again, this time, he traveled down from the cloud, "--Down!" He continued up go up and down before the 15th time he did it, he lost his balance, falling over.
"Waah! Alright, you get the idea..." Lightning mumbled, "Don't worry, Dasher's gonna be fine!"

Aqua made her barrier again over herself her hoofs over her head. If there was one thing a life on the ocean had taught her it was that thunderstorms were bad.

Rainbow Dash flew back up into the sky and took one last powerful dive through the cloud. There was a great flash of light and then a bolt of lightning came flying out of the could, whizzed around and then crashed down to Earth with a loud BOOM. And there stood Rainbow Dash, with static coursing through her coat.
"I did it!!!" She reared up and then flew in loops in excitement.
"Way to go, Dash!" Blaze said and stomped the ground to applaud her.

"nice!!" Swift gave Rainbow a brohoof. "Now its my turn~" Swift jetted up and attempted again, but with no luck. She got the same spark as before, but with a more graceful landing. She tried that about 5 times and all with the same result "Did I do anything that time?" She started to walk around to shake her nerves, but ended up tripping.
"You alright there Swift?" Applejack asked, lending a hoof to help her up. "mmhm! just fine~ thanks!" Swift replied, acting like nothing happened and straightened her goggles. It wasn't uncommon for her to be clumsy on land. Her serious face quickly took over "Alright...this time I'm gonna do it! This time for sure!" She flew up once more, forgetting any nerve she might have had. If Rainbow Dash and the Wonderbolts could do it, then why shouldn't she?
She locked onto her target in the dead center of the cloud and with blinding precision, pierced through the cloud accompanied by a bolt of lightning. Her mane and coat acquiring the same static consistency that Rainbow Dash got after her success. "wooooaaaaahhh" Swift's legs got wobbly on the ground and she fell "Hey guys...that was pretty awesome"

Aqua moved her hoofs from over her head and looked up at Fluttershy like "is it over yet?"
