It was night time in Ponyville, and with that, comes tired ponies. But this night was special. Tonight was the first meteor shower in well over a century, and everypony was excited. Fluttershy invited Twilight, Dash, Applejack, Rarity, and Pinkie Pie over to her house to get a good look. The meteor shower was actually supposed to be centered near her house's general area, so it was a good place to see from. All of the ponies were there, about eight at night, when the shower started. Most of the animals fled to hide, and Fluttershy tried her best to calm them, but eventually was told by Twilight to just watch the meteor shower, and she sat down with them.

"Wow, this is really pretty..." Pinkie said, but when you looked at her, she was lost in a trance. It was very calm, everyone watching, until something occured. One of the meteors struck very closeby, about a hundred or so feet away, and the girls got up to go have a closer look, and to clean up the mess. When they arrived, they saw something odd...

I woke up from my unconciousness. It felt like I had been asleep for millenia, and being awake again was quite the shock. I tried to stand, following by a very sharp pain running up my leg, where I fell back again and lied on my back. I could faintly hear voices; "Wow, that was close!", "That could have ended worse", "What are we gonna do about this mess?". I heard it all, and despite trying my hardest for a cry of help, all I could get out was a slight groan. Thankfully, that was enough, as the voices came nearer, and started going faster, though I couldn't hear clearly at all. I shut my eyes in exhaustion and pain, and slowly fell into a state of unconciousness once again...

"Are you okay?" I heard a quiet voice say this, quiet, yet close. Very close. I looked around slowly, seeing the pony that said it and the five others around me. The one who asked me if I was okay was a shy looking girl, looking to be 16 or 17, with beautiful flowing pink hair. I managed to groan out, "I don't think so..." I was lying on something soft, quite soft in fact, and sat up slowly, and almost fell down, until one of them, one with rainbow colored hair, caught me and propped me up. I was tired, but aware of my surroundings.

"Who are you people?" I said, wanting to know who found me. "I am Twilight Sparkle", one of them said. She had purple hair, with what looked to be sections hilighted pink, but it was different... These looked more... Natural. Twilight continued. " Fluttershy, as you have already seen, is right in front of you. This is Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, and Appplejack." She gestured to each of them as she said their names.

"It is nice to meet you all..." My voice trailed off, seeing what trouble I had caused for them all. "Thank you guys for your assisstance..." I started to say before I suddenly faded into a sleep. "He is quite the bother, but what can be done?" Rarity said. Everyone just stared at me for a little while, then laid me into a bed to sleep, and stayed the night at Fluttershy's, to watch after me.
