Stargazing…To Twilight Sparkle, it's the pony derby for rednecks. Spike has observed her for hours, amazed that his lavender friend has stared through her telescope for hours without pause or break. Piles of books flooded around her; books about stars, books about group of stars, books about how a star is formed, books about shooting stars, books about constellation of stars ; if it's about a star, there's a good chance that it's somewhere around here hoofs. If she spots a new planet…Sweet Celestia help her! Spike can only exercise so much patience around supper time.

"For goodness sake, Twilight! Don't you think your eyes can pop out of your head and run off if you abuse it?"

She didn't hear him and didn't care to. Her mind was in a totally different world, and leaving it was the last thing on her agenda. Spike suddenly saw her back hooves bounce up and down in excitement.

"You found a new planet?" Spike asked aggravated.

"I-I think I see a new galaxy forming!" Twilight squealed.

Spike rolled his eyes and started picking up the piles of books around her.

"Oh my gosh, I never seen anything like!" She continued, "Particles swirling around in a whirlpool of gasses and light as matter begin to define its properties…THIS IS SO AWESOME!"

Suddenly she stopped hopping, seeing the whirlpool getting bigger and bigger until her telescope couldn't fit it in its view. She backed up and looked through the window, and her eyes widen with surprise. The object in the night sky can be seen in plain sight, still growing in size. Spike took notice and looked out of the window with her.

"What in the heck is that thing?" He asked astonished

"I don't know…I've never seen anything like it."

In a split second, they were blinded by a flash of brilliant white light. Twilight felt something rushing through her, something she hasn't felt since she used the Elements of Harmony to defeat Discord a long time ago. They took a moment to regain their sight, and then looked out the window again. Their jaws dropped when they found the object in the sky to have vanished out of thin air. Twilight took a peek through her telescope to see if it was still in space…Nothing can be seen but a beautiful consolation of stars.

"What was that all about?" Spike asked still blinking to fix his eyes.

"That was way too weird for it to be a galaxy." Twilight answered.

She rushed to the bottom floor of her tree house, skimming through her library for any information. She eventually found a book called A History of Paranormal and Unfamiliar Sightings in Equestia. The book was a couple of inches thick, but to Twilight it was like reading a children's book. After a quick minute, she found nothing; absolutely nothing.

"I wonder if anypony else saw that thing." Spike said thinking aloud.

"There's a good chance. Let's ask around Ponyvill to see if anypony else knows anything."

It took them a little while to reach the heart of town. Although most ponies would be indoors during this time of night, it was already clear that everypony have witness the phenomenon. They were scattered around town, staring up into the night sky trying to recall what just took place. Pinkie Pie happened to be there with a cart full of sweets behind her, staring up with her mouth slightly opened. As always, her non-fading smile was across her face.

"Did you see what happened?" Twilight asked her franticly.

Pinkie didn't move; her eyes were fixated upwards. Twilight gently pushed her to get her attention.

"Pinkie, What happened?!"

"OHMYGOSH!" The pink earth pony finally responded, hopping up and down where she stood with her curly hair bouncing like jello , "Therewasthis HUUUUGGEEE thingyinthesky, with all these colorsmixingwithwonderfulcol orfulcolors. It was blowing up like a bigballisticballoon. Theneverythingturnedwhite…Then…Then." Her ears flopped down, Pupils expanding, "It was gone…"

"Uhh…So did you see it?" The purple pony asked confused.

"Well, duh! Of course I saw it." Pinkie answered rather annoyed, "That's what I told you before, silly!"

Every pony in the area started chatting among themselves, wondering what has happened or what it meant. Suddenly, they heard Spike burp up a small-green flame. A scroll appeared, lightly landing on the ground.

"Maybe Princess Celestia knows something." Spike suggested clearing his throat.

Twilight unraveled the scroll. No doubt, Celestia's signature was signed at the bottom of the message. She had her assistant read it aloud.

My most faithful student Twilight:

Just minutes ago, there has been a strange occurrence over Equestia. My Loyal Astronomers are not sure what took place, but my sister and I sensed a strong energy emitting from the vortex. I am writing to you to see if you knew anything, since I've known you for being passionate about the stars above. Please write back.

Princess Celestia

"Even Celestia didn't know what happened." Twilight sighed disappointedly, dropping the scroll.

"Did you sense anything when that thing appeared?" Spike asked rereading the letter.

She recalled back, "I did feel something, Spike…I can't really describe it, but whatever it was, I felt power; an unbelievable amount of power. What took place up there must have been huge."

"Hey! Maybe we could gather Fluttershy, Applejack, Rainbow Dash, and Rarity together." Pinkie cheerfully suggested, "See if they saw it too."

"Good thinking, Pinkie." Twilight praised her, "Rarity's house is not too far from here. We should go to her first."

After sending a response letter to Celestia, Spike hopped on Twilight's back and made a dash for Rarity's home. Pinkie was happily skipping behind them, humming a cheerful tune.

The three seemed were a little bewildered when they opened the door. They found Rarity crying out loud on her luxurious red sofa, with her little sister right by her with a hoof on her shoulder.

"Rarity! It's just a misplaced thread! You can always patch another costume!" Sweetie Bell wined.

Rarity rest her own front hooves on her little sister's shoulders, "Do you know how long it took me to stitch that dress?"

Sweetie Bell thought for a second, "Uh, I think it was like ten minutes-"

"It's going to take me that long to recreate something I have originally thought of. If I do it again, it will not come out the same! My customer wanted it exactly as she described it. If she doesn't get it exactly she wanted it, she'll spread rumors about how Irresponsible and Def I am. Everyone will stop buying my fabulous clothes. My career is ruined!"

She threw herself back on the sofa and broke out crying again, not even realizing that her friends were at the door.

"Out of all the worst possible things that can happen." She hollered, "This is

THE

WROST

POSSIBLE

THING!"

Twilight took a couple of steps back, "Uh, I can see we came at a bad time."

She realized then that her assistant was no longer on her back, instead she saw him standing by Rarity side.

"Listen, my lady. I know what it feels like to have worked on something for so long just to have it ruined." Spike lied using a sympathetic tone, "Just to let you know, I am right here for you."

She paused for a second, then without warning, she grabbed him by both hooves and hugged him…Tight.

"My little spiky wikie, always sensitive about a mare's feelings."

He would have savored the moment if she wasn't crushing him to the point of suffocation. He was surprised how strong she was when her hooves contract. Right then, Rarity noticed Twilight and Pinkie Pie standing at the door way.

"Twilight, Dear…How long have you been standing there?"

"Long enough." She answered honestly.

She mindlessly dropped Spike to the floor and approached her, who was still struggling to catch his breath.

"How have you been, dear?"

"Just fine." Twilight answered, "Listen, we have to talk to you about something, is that O.K?"

"Sure, Twi. Anything to help a friend."

Pinkie Pie noticed poor Spike hunched on the floor, breathing heavily. Sweetie Bell fell on her back, laughing uncontrollably at him.

The white mane took a sip of hot tea while her friend finished her story. Twilight saw her eyes widen when she brought up the flash.

"Yes, I can recall that incident while I was working on my client's dress." She said, "I was stitching her skirt until for just a second, a bright flash blinded me…It threw my concentration just long enough to ruin my master piece!"

They couldn't believe what they were hearing, "You were inside?"

"Well, yes." Rarity answered shocked of her own answer, "I didn't know there was a crazy vortex swirling above us when that flash appeared."

Spike had a claw on his chin, trying to appear to be in thought, "What time did the flash hit you."

"I'm not sure." Rarity paused for a bit, "I would say fifteen minutes ago."

"That was the same time I saw the flash." Pinkie Pie remarked, "What a cowinkadink!"

"Princess Celestia also mentioned feeling a strong force at that time." The violent mane brought up, "Did you feel anything?"

"I did. I felt something going through me when I saw the flash. It was like when we defeated Nightmare Moon, but this was so sudden; I literary lost my breath."

"I didn't feel anything." Pinkie added in a voice of betrayal.

Twilight stood up and paced the floor. The same way she would be thinking when she's trying to compose a schedule in her mind or trying to prove or disprove a theory. Spike didn't see her in this much in thought since the time she tried to disprove Pinkie's early warning system. There was a knock on the door; Rarity stood up and answered it. Applejack, Rainbow Dash, and Fluttershy were standing there, along with Skootaloo and Applebloom.

"Let me guess, all of you saw the flash too?" Rarity asked

"Eyyup." Applejack answered.

Fluttershy stepped up, but had her head somewhat hidden among her long pink hair, "uh…R-Rainbow Dash wanted to gather everyone together when she saw that thing."

"Then you came to the right place." Rarity said, "Twilight is here with me."

"Does she know about anything that has happened?" Rainbow asked, "Since she's good with space, and uh, all that stuff."

"I'm afraid not." Rarity answered.

The colorful mare let out of large breath of frustration, "Dagnabit! I flew around like a maniac looking for someone that might have a clue. Equestia could be at stake."

"We don't know nothin' Sugar Cube." Applejack said in her all familiar southern tone, "It could just be somethin' that happened all the way out there. I don't even see why we should be worried."

"I…I don't know Apple Jack." Fluttershy spoke up, "Um…That flash was pretty scary."

Rarity stepped back to make room for them to walk in, "Well then, we're not going to solve anything out here in the blistering cold. Come inside, I have some of my famous hot tea made."

Author's notes

Well, when I finished this chapter, I became really excited to continue on. So many ideas coming to my head, I want to do it all!

Here's how I'm going to do this story. Every week or two, depending on how long the chapter is, I'll post a new chapter. It'll give me enough time to work on the novel and give you, the readers, a little something to look forward to. PLEASE let me hear your opinion. I love critisism, either good or bad, I'll read it all and take it to consideration. I'm kind of making this up as I go along.

To be honest, my next chapter is already ready to be posted...I'm just waiting a couple of days. If you want to mark it down, I'll say on November 6th. It just started off and I want to know how good this will be. Sound good enough for you?

And I had this updated too to fix some of the typos.
