The Sun rises upon Equestria once again. The birds chirped their songs to wake the populace of Ponyville to another warm day. One such Pony, A lavender Unicorn mare with Dark indigo main, Pink and purple highlights and violet eyes. She let out a yawn and checked out the calendar. She blinked a couple times before they shot wide open. She gave a squeal as she ran to the kitchen.

"THIS IS THE DAY!" Twilight Sparkle squealed much to Spikes annoyance since he was still half asleep.

"Ugh. Today’s the day for what?" Spike inquired. Although right now he really wasn't interested. Heck, the world could end, but at this time he honestly just did not care. He was really exhausted.
"High Teck is gonna launch an exploration rocket into space today! He even asked me if I would like to help, and I said YES!" Twilight squealed again she almost began to bounce up and down like her friend Pinkie Pie. Wow she must really be excited to have the energy to do this. Twilight Thought to herself as she stopped bouncing after three successful hops.

"He’s launching a rocket into space?" Spike inquired. "Does he have Princess Celestia's approval? I mean, you do know thoughs two haven't been Seeing Eye to eye lately." he reminded his Unicorn Friend and mother-figure.
Twilight Thought for a moment. Indeed it’s true, Celestia and High Teck have been at odds with each other every since he announced his Techno-Empire to her majesty. Needless to say Celestia was very displeased. And yet High Teck was so stubborn he simply broke away from Equestria entirely. In fact it’s the reason why he now occupies his own patch of land in Everfree forest.
"Spike, the way things have been going between Him and Celestia, I really don't think he cares what she thinks of him so much as sneezing as much as launching a rocket." Twilight said. She then looked at the clock then back at Spike. "It would be nice if thoughs two just lay down their hostilities towards each other."

"You don't think she'll go to war with him do you?" Spike blurted out. He really didn't mean to ask her aloud, he was just saying what he was thinking.

"Goodness, No Spike!" Twilight replied. "I know for sure the Princess wouldn't do anything like that! I'm sure neither of them wants to go to war with each other."

"Okay, I was just thinking aloud. Your right though..... Hey, you know something?" Spike asked.

"What’s that?"

"Where’s Princess Luna in all of this? I mean, I'm mostly hearing it all from Princess Celestia's side but never from Luna's side." Spike pondered.

"Hmmmmm" Twilight thought. "Well, maybe she just wants to stay out of it?"
Twilight took another look at the clock and gasped. "OH NO! It’s only a couple of hours until blastoff! I'm going to be late!" Twilight took a long sip of coffee, hugged Spike and ran off out the door.

Twilight galloped at top speed towards High Teck's Tower, a hundred story tall thin cone shaped building clad in steal and metal. At the top was an observation room which stuck a few meters out from the side of the tower.
Twilight Sparkle trotted up the ramp to a large double door. The doors opened with a hum as the machines opening them worked their magic. Twilight walked into the tower looking at the great walls surrounding her. Most had glyphs of stylistic writing not seen ever in Ponyville history.
"Wow...." Twilight spoke under her breath. "The Architecture is amazing! High Teck's creativity must be his strongest talent!"
Twilight continued through the entrance hallway before entering a large room. She saw a huge factory! With huge mechanical arms hard at work building robots. The entire building was a Manufacturing plant!

"This is incredible!" Twilight said out loud. "Robots building robots! And the advanced technology itself! Its decades ahead of all of Equestria!"

"I'm glad you Like it!" A voice rang out.
Twilight gasped as she turned to the source of the voice and across the room from where she was stood a Stallion Earth pony. A large one at that. Even bigger then Applejack's Brother, Big Macintosh! He had a pure white coat, almost like Celestia’s but it reflected almost like metal. His eyes where a greenish grey, his main and tail was red and his cutie mark was that of a Wrench with a bolt in its grip. Twilight blinked a couple times it took her a moment to recognize him.

"HIGH TECK!" She squealed. She normally wasn't this excited to see somepony like this before, but today was the exception.

"Hey Twilight Sparkle! heh did you not recognize me or something?" High Teck chuckled as he trotted up to her. And they both hugged.
"Heh sorry, but I'm not used to seeing you without your Techno-saddle, Computer gauntlet, and interface headset on Twilight raised an eyebrow as she looked at him again and smiled as she broke the embrace.

High Teck smiled and motioned her to fallow him. The walked outside around back behind the tower several yards to the Rocket. There it sat waiting to be launched. It wasn't big. Only 17 feet tall, 8 feet wide. It was cylindrical with a cone at the top. Out of the sides where three long legs that held it pointing upward.
"Ah so that’s it huh?" Twilight asked. High Teck replied with a nod and a smile on his face.

"Yes it is! 18 long months of hard work and research has been well rewarded! It took a while to get the components built to the highest Quality. Took even longer to put the thing together what with Lu...." High Teck stopped himself and cleared his throat. "I mean, there where a lot of... uh.... 'distractions' recently thus it hindered the completion of the rocket at a faster pace.... yeah...." the Stallion tried to explain, but as he did his grammar suffered.

Twilight looked at the Stallion puzzled for a moment before she decided to change the subject.

"So, when do we launch it? I'm SO EXCITED!" Twilight squealed again barely able to contain her excitement. Science was her strong suite. And astronomy was her favorite of subjects. And to be part of launching a rocket into space for the better understanding of the stars made the Lavender Unicorn even more excited. So much so it caused her ear to twitch and giggle uncontrollably for a moment.

High Teck saw this and chuckled. A bit worried about the possibility of his friend literally exploding from excitement.
"Well I didn't just ask you over to watch it launch. I like for you to contribute to the project in some way."

This made the Unicorn become even giddier.

"You see, even though I got most of the work finished there’s one last thing that needs to be done." High Teck Explained.

"Oh what’s that?" Twilight asked.

"Well the main computer onboard the rocket must be activated. I figured I'd let you do the honors and turn it on for me before I launch it." High Teck said. His eyes widened a bit as he saw the Lavender Unicorn become so excited, he swore her mouth foamed for a moment when she exclaimed.

Twilight finally took a moment to control herself and look up at High Teck. "Oh heh sorry. But sure I'd love to turn on the computer for you!" Twilight replied.

High Teck smiled and directed Twilight to the console located inside the storage bay for one of the Rocket's legs. She easily got inside the small space as she reached in with her hoof and felt for the button. There was only one to push but it was hard to reach. High Teck must not of considered how deep the console was when he built this thing. Twilight Mused as she lunged her hoof forward once more. Her hoof hit the button square center as the console lit up and glowed brightly.
Twilight smiled and begun to pull her foreleg back, but her lower foreleg suddenly got grazed by the sharp end of a bolt sticking out of the other end of a panel. "OUCH!" Twilight yelped as she yanked her foreleg out quickly causing the sharp bolt to cut her even deeper. As it did so, blood drizzled from the wound onto the panelings of the Rocket's floor.
Twilight held her foreleg and rubbed it a few times. It stung! She couldn't believe she did something so silly as to hurt herself after doing something she'll probley not be able to do ever again!

"Twilight, are you okay? I heard you yelp!" High Teck yelled from a distance.

No, she can't tell him she hurt herself after doing something so simple! And she can't afford to miss the rocket's launch all because of a silly cut. I KNOW! Twilight Thought as she used her magic to heal her foreleg, it stung even more but Twilight tried hard not to make too much noise. She opened her eyes and smiled to see the cut gone.

"Twilight?" High Teck asked again.

"I'm fine!" Twilight finally replied as she hopped out of the small hole. "I was making sure everything worked properly." Twilight fibbed. It was a little white lie; he didn't need to know the little blunder she had.

"Ah... well you best get over here before the engines are activated. Unless you want to be blasted into the endless voice of space, and cease to exist?" High Teck said with a spooky evil raspy, gravelly voice as he teased her.

Twilight giggled at him and galloped over towards her stallion friend. "Oh this is gonna be great!"

"Yeah! Oh, would you like to do the count down?"
"CAN I REALY!?"

"Of Course you can!" High Teck Beamed.

"Okay....Mark.... 12...11...10....9....8..." Twilight Began to count down as they both put on their head sets and sunglasses. As Twilight continued the countdown.

"Retracting Landing struts!" High Teck Exclaimed.

"7...6...5..." Twilight Continued

"Umbilicus detached, engines are Primed!" High Teck declared.

"4...3...2...1!" Twilight finally exclaimed

"We Have Lift Off!" High Teck Yelled as he pressed a button allowing the rocket to blast off.

The two ponies cheered as the Rocket shot off into the air with an ear splitting roar. The rocket reached high and higher causing the inhabitants of Ponyville to look up at it. Many amazed and enlightened by the show of advanced ingenuity only a small handful of them where scared of it falling back down on them. But the rocket stayed true to its goal and after a few moments finally entered Equestria's orbit. meanwhile deep inside, the small pool of Twilight Sparkle's blood inside the rocket ripples a little as the rocket shakes one final time before entering space.
Back down near High Teck's tower the two celebrating ponies dance.

"YEAH! I can't believe we launched a rocket into space! Equestria's very first rocket!" Twilight exclaimed

"Hehe I know exciting isn't it? I mean I launched satellites before but nothing that’s actually going to explore space!" High Teck cheered. But then frowned. Twilight noticed this and looked at Him with worried eyes.

"what’s wrong, HT?"

"Oh... I'm just worried I might have brought the wrath of the sun goddess upon myself. I never got the okay from her to launch that rocket. My relations with her have been quite....... unpleasant recently.... I really don't need any more negative stress right now." the Techno-pony explained.

Twilight thought for a moment then gave him a reassuring smile. "Look, I'll write a letter to Princess Celestia about the rocket, I'll tell her it’s for scientific research to benefit all of Equestria."

This made High Teck feel a bit better, it even made him chuckle.

"I guess you can do that. Thank You!" High Teck said as he gave Twilight a hug which made her giggle.

"Now, how bout we celebrate with some Ovaltine Chocolate Milk and some Peanut Butter Reese’s cups!" High Teck exclaimed inviting Twilight Sparkle inside.

"Sure, but how about some tea and a lily flower sandwich for me instead?" Twilight asked with a polite tone.

High Teck looked at her sweet smile which made him chuckle. "Sure Twi, I think I got some hayfries left too."

"OOOh sounds good to me!" Twilight replied happily.

The two ponies walked inside the massive tower, enjoying their victory meal.
Meanwhile somewhere in outter space, the Rocket passed through the stars its advanced engines allowed the rocket to move at incredible faster than light speed. Going at the speed of warp 6 the Rockets engines suddenly shut off. It stopped slowly as the Rocket floated one parsec of a massive, newly formed Black hole Energy strongly seething from it. The computer inside the rocket began taking pictures of the black whole sending them back to Equestria along with Gigabits of data it has obtained. Next to the computer consol. the pool, well now a blob since there was no gravity of Twilight Sparkle's blood suddenly glowed a violet tinge as the blood began to darken and grow out. Forming into a round red blob. It glowed again and again and again. But as it glowed once more the light changed to a Neon Purple.
Suddenly the Blob moved. It pressed itself against the seams of the panels for one of the Rocket's leg. It squeezed through the crack of the seam and out into the vacuum of space. Finally freeing itself the blob moved itself like a squid through the airless vacuum of nothing ness. It moved with great speed towards the Black hole. The blob was obviously drawn to it. It began to move even faster as its mass began to increase in size. Its form shifting as well as small amounts of details began to form upon it. First a serpentine tail formed from behind it. Which it began to use to swim closer towards the black hole. Then a small round head with two violet eyes formed they blinked a couple times before it continued to 'swim' towards its objective.
An embryonic creature was what became of Twilight Sparkle's little pool of blood. It moved with great speed towards the black hole, absorbing the energies emitting from the rim of the swirling disk. The creature took one last plunge towards the super anomaly before it too was sucked into the Black hole’s maw. It gave out a squeal before being sucked in completely. Inside the little creature grew at an incredible rate! Growing four legs, a long neck, fur and a horn of its own! The little Filly opened her eyes and gave out an unearthly, ghastly scream as a flash of light engulfed her.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!!!!" Twilight Sparkle screamed as she jumped out of her bed.
All the lights came on in every house in Ponyville that night. Twilight's Scream was so loud and high pitched it had broken several windows and caused some pony’s Chariot alarm to go off. In her bed, the Lavender unicorn breathed hard at the dream she had. Was it real? Or was it just a really bad nightmare? Twilight thought for a moment.
"Are you okay Twi!?" Spike asked, no doubt her scream woke him up as well. Him being the closes to her.
"Uh...Uh huh...." was her only response. She looked at her sheets they were soaked in sweat. Possibly even her own urine. She’s never done that before. Not since she herself was just a baby filly, and back then she didn't know any better.
Twilight got up from her bed she took off the sheets and covers from her bed. Her whole body quivered from the mental trauma of the nightmare. It was like someone put their hooves over her mouth and nostrils to keep her from breathing. And didn't let go until she finally woke up. She still couldn't calm her breathing down. It was the most terrible experience she ever had. A Night Terror she thought to herself. She read about them but never thought she'd have one herself. Suddenly she heard a loud belch.
She looked over to Spike holding a letter with Princess Celestia's seal on it.

"A letter? At this time of night?" Spike mused to himself.

"Well, what does it say?" Twilight asked.
Spike opened the letter and began to read.
My Faithful Student,

What has happened? I heard your scream all the way over here in Canterlot! It was the most terrifying sound I ever heard. Please reply as soon as you can. Please tell me what happened!

-Princess Celestia
Spike looked at Twilight, waiting for her to tell him what to do. Twilight shook her head as she levitated a paper and quill to the desk next to her bed. "Sorry Spike. This is a bit personal. And I'd feel better if I wrote this one myself. You understand don't you?"

Spike smiled and nodded. "Hey, it’s okay Twi, I'm perfectly okay with it. I can still send them if you want me to." Spike stated with a reassuring smile.

Twilight smiled in return. "Oh, thank you Spike." she turned her attention to the paper and began writing.

Dear Princess Celestia,
I had recently had the most terrifying dream ever.... and worse of all. It felt REAL!
End of Part one...
