Above the luscious green valley, a small storm cloud hovered filled with plenty of raindrops. It slumbered darkly as the bright sunlight hit the field of grass with promise. Small droplets began to disperse from the dark cloud as it woke from it's afternoon nap. Angered by the extremely bright sunlight, the storm cloud began to stretch itself over the field of grass. Soon enough it covered the small patch of grass and began releasing small droplets of rain all over. Soaking the warm grass, the field was now filled with puddles as the grass tried to absorb as much as possible. The little rain cloud slowly returned to its original size, satisfied about its successful miniature downpour. Enlightened, it began to travel fast over the mountains that surrounded the valley.

Over the mountains, he discovered more clouds. They seemed to be different though. Instead of scattering raindrops they seemed to be releasing smaller versions of clouds. Snowflakes, he soon found out. The small storm cloud had never been able to snow before. It saddened him and he continued to search the skies for other stormy rain clouds.

Above the large and vast oceans, he discovered clouds of pure intensity. They delivered large amounts of sleet, and hail upon the large ships sailing the stormy seascapes. The waves became massive as they attacked the ships and small cities near the beaches. Trying to copy the large blackened clouds, he consistently failed. After being completely overwhelmed, he controlled the wind to push him farther as he continued his search.

Aloft the great deserts the small dark cloud float slowly as the dryness of the heat caused the rain to be evaporated from inside him. Spectating his surroundings, he came to see almost no clouds in the skies. Low upon the surface of the dusty terrain he saw small dust storms begin and slowly disappear back into thin air. The arid atmosphere confirmed there were no rain clouds here, so the small dark rain cloud extended his search.

After a long period of time of searching through the tall mountainous terrain and ocean filled masses, the small dark storm cloud reached a thick forest filled with an entirety of tall trees. At the end of his patience and dedication, light gleamed before him as the sun peaked over the tree tops. Trying to ignore his anger of the bright sun, he looked all around him for any sight of his anticipated finding. To all angles there was no sight of any bouncy cloud hovering above the forest. Giving up, the dark cloud hibernated as he float silently over the tall animal infested jungles.

As he slumbered, in the distance a small dark rain cloud cam into view. The cloud was a she and was in search of another rain cloud as well. She excitingly blew herself over towards the boy dark cloud, and soon became saddened to find out the boy cloud chose to be deactivated. Enraging all her emotions, she began to downpour every last drop of rain she contained. Completely drained of all her energy, she soon deactivated herself as she float next to the dark boy cloud.

For thousands of centuries, the two dark rain clouds floated soundlessly over the Earth. Over the arctic plains of ice filled oceans, above long desolate grubby deserts covered in tall cactus plants, beyond the islands splattered in the oceans all over dressed in tropical objects. Years passed like seconds, and the world became dark.

Just as the end was near, the dark boy cloud reactivated and became very aware of his surroundings. Though the world had entirely black, he knew he wasn't alone. Cuddled up to his side, was a dark rain cloud that smelled of aged anger. Impressed that he had found another storm cloud, he gently rumbled an awakening storm. The small girl cloud responded, activating her senses. She felt warmth and sparks to the side of her. Feeling the boy cloud on her side, she set off an electrifying lightning bolt towards the ground below. The dark boy cloud rumbled loudly, and let out an enormous rain storm. Joining the boy cloud, she too let out an enraged storm. The two clouds join forces, and covered the skies of the world for many days, releasing their love for one another.

Though the world had experienced an entire lifetime, the two clouds lifetime was just beginning and so was a new era on planet Earth.
