It Came From The Sky

Our story begins on a night like any other in Ponyville, with everypony either just heading to or entering there own homes to go to sleep after a hard days work in Ponyville. But sleep is something not everyone does during the night. For one pegasus, the night is her time to relax and be herself without having to act like someone she isn't. With no one seeing and judging what she does or how she acts it was like complete freedom for her.

Once all the lights in Ponyville had begun to go off, a certain blue pegasus could be seen peeking out one of the windows of her cloud mansion. But once the final light had gone out in the streets of Ponyville, she began trotting away from the window and towards her front door. She had a huge grin on her face that if anyone saw, they would think she had gone crazy.

As the happy pegasus reached the door, she quitely and slowly opened it and began tiptoeing outside until she had enough room to spread her wings. After some quick streches, the pegasus spread her wings as far as she could. She took in a deep breath, filling her lungs with as much of the night air as possible, and breathed out again as she jumped off the front of her house. She closed her eyes while in her head she began counting backwards from three. Once she reached one she pulled up sharply, just avoiding smashing into the ground face first.

When the pegasus got as high as the clouds, she sat down on what looked like the fluffiest cloud around her. While the pegasus was sitting on the cloud, she began looking down at Ponyville and noticed how beautiful it was when there was no pony walking the streets. To her, it looked so calm and peaceful as she looked at the sight before her. She closed her eyes and began smiling to herself again. After quite some time, the mare opened her eyes and stood up, ready to do what she came her to do in the first place. She started to practice her dancing. This was the third night she had come out to practice, and like every night, she looked one last time to make sure no pony was around. And after seeing no pony was out, she got into her starting position. The starting position was the pegasus standing up on her two back hooves on a cloud. Once she managed to balance herself, she began doing slow careful spins were she was standing. But after doing five, she triped herself on her left hoove and fell face first into the cloud.

"Why do I even still try this" The pegasus muttered into the cloud bitterly.

As the pegasus looked up towards the night sky, she saw a small blue dot in the sky. But as she looked closer, she saw that it was expanding, but once it got as big as a pony, it retracted back to a small dot. Then it exploded outwards, but didn't make a sound as it did. All it did was send a weak shock wave of energy, which barely moved the watching pegasus on the cloud. After a few seconds had past, the pegasus saw what looked like a dark blue pony falling from the sky, fast. The pegasus quickly sprung into action flying as fast as a bullet towards the falling pony. But unfortunately, as fast as she was, she just missed the pony as it fell face first into an open field, making a small crater.

The pegasus quickly flew to the centre of the small crater to find the blue pony, she saw it was just lying there, so she began to inspect it for injuries. As she started looking over the pony, she noticed it was a stallion from the way he was built. And she also noticed a pair of wings, but as she looked towards his chest, she saw a small piece of broken metal in it. She looked closer to see if he was still breathing, and was glad to see his chest moving, but just bairly. So, she decided to tap his head while shouting hello in his ear to get a response. After about a few seconds of this, the stallion began aggressively coughing while the mare sighed in relief. But was cut short when she saw he was coughing blood. She tried to lift the stallion, but stopped when he weakly tried to shove her away and heard him cry out in pain. He coughed slightly more 'till she set him down and saw his head move to were she was.

"What...ever you...do...NO hospitals...PLEASE just take...take me somewhere...safe" As the stallion finished, he passed out again.

The mare began to panic on the spot, unsure what to do. In her mind, she thought she had to take him to the hospital. This looked serious, but something in the back of her mind was screaming "NO!" at her. And the feeling was becoming stronger every second, so against her better jugement, she lifted the stallion onto her back and began flying towards her home as gently as she could. And she knew she would regret this sooner or later.
