Luna's night fell over Ponyville. I always admired the stars; they were just so peaceful. My sister, being the perfectionist she was, never liked them since she claimed they were 'too bright' or they were 'disruptions to my work'. Sometimes, I just wish she would look up at them and say 'man, those are some pretty stars'.

"Dearest brother, night has fallen upon Equestria" informed my sister who entered my room "We should be expecting our 'guest' any minute now."

"Thank you, dearest sister" I nodded "Go prepare, for this might be a long night..."

"I still cannot believe we must speak to that wretched stallion" scoffed Ribbon "After what he did to Midnight, I simply cannot accept it!"

"I'm sure after Bubblegum's intervention with him, he has begun to open up" I reasoned with my sister "Besides, mother and father say we have to socialize more with others, and not spend so much time cooped up in our little workshops... Ribbon..."

"Hey, I... I suppose you're right..." admitted Ribbon "But I still have my doubts about him... I think I'll skip out on speaking to him. Do what you will, but I refuse to speak to such a vile creature."

"Suit yourself" I rolled my eyes as Midnight would.

I could hear my sister snoring in her room stationed beside me. I was still wide awake, waiting for our visitor to arrive at our home. To pass the time, I did a bit of knitting my mother taught me when I was younger. Below me, a soft, red wool scarf had nearly been completed. Proud of my work, I gave a long sigh and a smile as I slowly drifted off to sleep.

Suddenly, I heard a noise outside, which immediately woke me from my near slumber. I trotted over to my window and peered outside only to see that our old cat Opalescence, or Opal for short, had rustled some bushes from her nightly walk. Feeling disappointed, I walked away from the window, grabbed the banana I retrieved from my mother's secret stash of food and picked up my knitting needles once more to finish my scarf.

"You have an interesting way to pass time..." suddenly said a rather monotonic voice from my window.

I looked up only to see a Pegasus robed in black with a light blue coat and brown mane with a red streak through it. This must've been the stallion Midnight was talking about earlier this afternoon.

"Indeed" I responded "Mother had begun teaching me a few months ago. Right now I'm knitting a scarf."

"A red scarf" the stallion pointed out "It's not half bad..."

"Thank you" I smiled as I continued to knit the object.

"I was told by Miss Bubblegum that I had to meet with all of her friends" the stallion informed me "She said I could visit one of her friends' houses' every night, so I decided it was best to visit you and your sister's abode. Speaking of which, where is this 'Ribbon' I hear so much about?"

"She's asleep in the room next to mine" I informed the stallion "She's not too keen on meeting you though, so I suppose it's best if we speak without her knowledge."

"Wise. I wouldn't wish to cause a disturbance on my first visit" the stallion pointed out "I suppose introductions are in order, are they not?"

"Correct. My name is Thread of the famous dressmaker Rarity" I brought out my hoof to prepare a hoofshake "The pleasure is mine."

"Rage Quit..." the stallion introduced himself as he too brought out his hoof and shook mine. We then separated from our own grasps.

"Well, I don't think this is a very formal place to talk, is it?" I asked Rage Quit.

"No, I agree. This is a very small room you own" admitted Rage Quit "Why don't we travel to the Ponyville Park. It IS where I met..."

Rage Quit's voice trailed off. He closed his eyes as if remembering something important, lost in thought of whatever happened in his past. He opened them not a few seconds later, and gave off an expression as if nothing had happened.

"My apologizes. May we proceed?" asked Rage Quit.

"O-Of course" I said, still confused with Rage Quit's interesting display "Let's be off then."

"I always appreciated the stars..." I said as Rage Quit and I were sitting on a bench together, completely not within arms-reach "They were always so... peaceful..."

We had walked over to Ponyville Park without saying a word to each other along the way. We found a nice bench and just sat and looked at the prettiness of the stars and constellations until somepony broke the silence. That pony happened to be me.

"I as well" stated Rage Quit "Although; I used them more to find my way back home. I suppose I just saw at them as merely map until now..."

"Until now?"

"Yes" he confirmed "I never got a true chance to look at them until now. Once they were merely an object to use, but now I see they hold true beauty. They look... stunning..."

"Luna always does an outstanding job with the stars..." I said "Rumor has it that when Luna was far in her younger years, Princess Celestia helped her out with each and every star in the sky, so long as Luna helped her raise the sun in the morning."

"..." I faintly heard Rage Quit mumble to himself.

"Hmm? Did you say something?" I asked him.

"No..."

"Very well"

"...Have you ever wished to meet the Princess of the Night?" asked Rage Quit suddenly.

"Well, sure" I answered honestly "Doesn't everypony?"

"I see..." Rage Quit seemingly finished the conversation.

"Rage Quit, throughout this entire night, you've sounded dull and rather depressing" I pointed out "Why is that? Are you troubled or worried about something?"

"No, I simply have too much on my mind..." he said. He was hiding something, I just knew it.

"Well, that's fine with me" I said "But if there's anything you're troubled with, you can tell me, okay friend?"

Rage Quit looked at me with a somewhat surprised expression before speaking "You think of me as a friend?"

"Well, perhaps we aren't there yet, but it is a possibility for me to be your friend if you wanted me to be..."

Rage Quit thought before answering "I will have to think about that... Many things are happening in my life that I cannot explain to you right at this moment."

"Take all the time you need." I reassured.

"Thank you."

We both stood silent for a good minute until a shooting star suddenly flew across the sky.

"Hey look, a shooting star!" I said "Quickly, make a wish!" I closed my eyes and made a certain wish I've been making for five years. As soon as the shooting star passed by, I opened my eyes and sighed.

"A wish?" asked Rage Quit.

"Indeed" I said "If you see a shooting star go across the sky, you can make a wish on it, and it might just come true!"

"I cannot see how a natural phenomenon of a meteorite flying across the sky is capable of such things" said Rage Quit.

"Hahaha" I laughed "I don't think they actually work, but it's always nice to wish upon one just to make you feel good about yourself."

As soon as I finished my sentence, another shooting star flew across the sky.

"Another!" I pointed out "Quick, close your eyes and make a wish!"

"I still do not see the logic in this..." Rage Quit said.

"Don't question it, just do it" I chuckled, which got me an odd look from my partner. He just looked down and never wished for anything, making me rather disappointed.

"I see" my acquaintance said simply "If I may ask, what did you wish for?"

"Well, normally you're not supposed to tell people what you wished for, or you'll ruin the wish" I explained "But since I've been wishing the same thing for five years, I suppose that I could tell you... *sigh*... I've always wanted another brother or sister."

"What about the sister you already have?" Rage Quit asked.

"Don't get me wrong, I love Ribbon. It's just sometimes she can be... odd. A foal sibling can keep me company and do odd things without it being weird. In short, I just really want another sibling to enjoy time with..."

"I see..." said Rage Quit after my speech "Well, have you ever asked your parents straight?"

"Yes..." I said "Five years ago..."

"Did you ever consider the fact that perhaps your parents' opinion has changed by now?" my acquaintance wondered "I'm sure with a small bit of determination, you can ask them to create another spawn for you."

"Another what?" I questioned "Actually, never mind. Thank you for your kind words."

"You're quite welcome" Rage Quit nodded.

"Well, I think I'll head back home now" I said "If my mother and father discover that I've snuck out, I wouldn't hear the end of it!"

"The end of what?" asked Rage Quit as if he's never heard expressions before.

"*sigh*... never mind, friend" I laughed a bit "Anyway, I'll see you another time then!"

"That's odd... I don't remember my house being this far away..."

I was walking back home for fifteen minutes now. Usually a trip to the park from my house and back is ten minutes. Perhaps I took a wrong turn? No, I know this route by heart. Something was halting me in my tracks.

"Hmm... perhaps I did..." I negotiated with myself "Yes, perhaps I simply went down Trot Street instead of Horseshoe Crescent... The only logical explanation!"

Suddenly, a pony dropped in-front of me. The pony's stature told me he was a stallion. His body was cloaked in odd, black, skin-tight armour. His face was being blocked off by a mask with a single glowing green eye positioned on his left eye.

"Um..." I was somewhat stricken with fear "Is there anyway I can help you?"

"Yes actually" the stallion said "Will you please drop dead?"

"W-what?!"

"Oh, excuse me for my rudeness" the stallion took off his mask, revealing a his coat to be yellow and his mane to be fancy, curled and purple, which happened to be recently shined "I'm Skyfall; The most handsome and gorgeous stallion in all of Equestria!" a rose somehow appeared in his mouth.

"...um..."

"What? You don't like my style?" asked a now cross Skyfall.

"Well, since you're wearing that awful skin-tight suit, you don't look the greatest" I said "And those goggles! Sweet Celestia those goggles are not your style. And that colour scheme! Yellow and purple? The purple is clearly dyed on and doesn't do anything for your look."

"Are you... are you mocking my style, kid?" I could hear the faint sound of a kettle boiling as Skyfall spoke.

"Well seeing as how you recently told me to drop dead," I began "Yes. Yes I am."

"Nopony mocks my style..." Skyfall then exploded into rage "NOPONY!"

Skyfall then began stomping towards me. Now I was legitimately scared. There were no items I could use to defend myself, and if I started running, no doubt he would chase me and undoubtedly catch me. Suddenly, something unexpected happened. A shooting star shot across the sky. I could only wish then.

"I wish that I was safe..." I said as I closed my eyes. I opened them after a few seconds to see Skyfall a few metres away from where I was standing... knocked out. I was surprised that my wish had come true, to be completely honest. I looked around and saw there was a hooded figure wearing a black robe that flowed in the wind. The figure never even looked at me before it flew off to who knows where. While it never spoke a word, I knew exactly who it was. A small smile appeared on my face as I ran back home.

Rage Quit made my wish come true...

"Thank you, friend..." I smiled before I continued my trip back home.

Rage Quit's P.O.V. (Later that night...)

XXXXXX

I stared off into the light of the moon as the night slowly changed to day, eating some of the same flavor of ice cream Bubblegum presented to me. I rather liked this flavour, as it reflected a bit of her personality; a little salty at first, but all sweet on the inside. However tonight, I thought about what Thread told me:

'If you see a shooting star go across the sky, you can make a wish on it, and it might just come true!'

"I suppose his most recent wish came true this night..." I said before I bit off a bit more of my ice cream "I wonder if the wish he's been making for the past five years will ever come to pass?"

I looked up and saw the last shooting star of the night fly by. Remembering Thread's talk, I closed my eyes and wished. What did I wish for?

"I wish..." I began "I wish for Thread's wish to come true..."

Author's Notes:

And there you have it ladies and gentlemen! Thread's story is finally complete after wasting many hours of editing. I know you may think editing is easy, especially if your a prodigy. But for me, I have some difficulty changing around a few things so it all clicks together. I can, however, safely say that over the course of two years in my writing career, I've gotten WAY better than I once was.

Be sure to leave a comment, like this story, and follow me! Until then, I'll see ya later Scraggsters!
