***Chapter Seven***

Magenta couldn't sleep that night. She didn't know why but she felt weird. It was like she knew something was going to happen, but she didn't know what.

A couple of hours before the sunset she got sick of it and got out of bed to start early with the morning chores. Besides, it might be good for Big Macintosh and Applebloom if Magenta finished the morning duties and got that over with, so they could get some more rest. Yesterday must have been a nightmare for them. It wasn't fun for Magenta either, but it was definitely worse for the Apple family.

And when they didn't get to see Applejack after that, neither of them could help but cry a bit. Even Big Mac, altough he was quiet enough for Magenta to barely miss the tear that slowly found its way down his cheek.

A couple of metres away from the barn and Magenta froze. She stood absolutely still and listened. She could have sworn she saw somepony near the barn. She sneaked close. Yep, she could hear the pony talk to himself. He was quiet so she could hear what he said, but he seemed to be questioning himself... Or was there somepony else with him?

She looked around the corner. She recognized the stallion from the party. That odd one who only stared at the sky. The Doctor.
He held some strange device and buzzed with it here and there. It looked like some sort of screwdriver with a blue light.

"HEY! What are you doing here?" Magenta shouted, made the Doctor jump. He had been so focused on his detective work that he didn't notice her until she spoke.
"Oh, hey! Magenta, was it?" He said and tried to avoid the question.
"I asked you: what are you doing here?" Magenta asked again and took a step forward. The Doctor didn't move. "Answer me, or i'll call for Big Macintosh, and i promise you that he won't accept you sneaking around here"
"Why not? Have something out of the ordinary happened?" The Doctor asked, and when he saw Magentas reaction, he knew he were right. "Soo, can you tell what have happened here?"

"Why, do you know who did it?" Magenta asked and raised an eyebrow. The Doctor shrugged.
"Not really..." He answered.

Magenta hesitated for a while, but then she decided to trust the Doctor. She didn't know why, but she felt that this pony might be good to trust. He seemed to be an honest guy.

So she began to tell him everything that happened here. Everything she experienced ever since the first time the trouble showed up. Like that time when she and Big Mac found that rock in the field, and when all the golden delicious apples suddenly turned blue. And she finished with telling him what happened to Applejack the day before.

The Doctor nodded as he listened to her. When she was done, he stood quiet and thought for a moment. But eventually he just shrugged again.
"I'm not sure. There might be many behind this..." He said. Suddenly he seemed to get an idea. "Do you know if anypony ever tried to take over the farm before?"

Magenta shook her head. Nopony ever told her anything like that.
"This might sound weird, but i'm getting weird readings from this place. Apparently there seems to be something underneath this barn, something that keeps sending out enormous amounts of energy. I don't know what it is, yet! But there might be others who do."
Magenta felt uneasy by what he said. Either he was crazy, or something really, really, REALLY weird was going on.

However, he had to leave. He didn't say where nor why, but suddenly he were gone. All Magenta heard was a weird swooshing sound from around the corner. But when she went to look, there was nothing there.
She continued to do the chores, feeding the chickens and searching for eggs, milking the cows etc.

She then went back to her room and managed to sleep, before the others woke up.

That night she dreamt of three stranger ponies, unicorns, two of them were tall and redmaned, however she couldn't see their faces. They chuckled evily as some big mechanical thingy climbed out of the ruins of what once where Sweet Apple Acres and in the middle of it all stood the third unicorn. With light blonde, whipping mane and dark, glistening eyes.
