I went back home, having the cloud in my hooves, but it was when I put the cloud down I realised something strange. My front left hoof was greenish and my front right hoof was purplish. I guess falling into a rainbow really did do something, guess I have to get rid of that now. I walked in, Starry staring at me strangely. 'Planetshine? Why are you all rainbowish and why is your right eye brown?' she said.

I first looked at my mane, and it was all rainbowish. I expected it after falling into a rainbow, and about the eye situation, I have no idea, maybe Starry was just kidding with me. I ran into my room, taking out a part of a mirror, which was a shattered piece that was pretty safe to handle. I looked into it, and my right eye was in fact definitely brown. I guess that is why nopony ever swims in rainbows.

I went up to the others, and they were all pretty shocked to see me, but after some explaining, they were just fine about it. It was strangely late now, the gas giant blocking a lot of light from us, also the planet spinning, great right? It was becoming dusk, and the yellowish haze hit us. Lyra thought of watching the sunset and asked everypony to join in.

We all went outside, watching the sunset. The sun wasn't actually setting, it was just getting blocked by the annoying gas giant, and night was about to fall. I guess the night was pretty nice looking, the whole place lighting up slowly. Didn't I mention Pandora's nights were all bioluminescent?

As the random pony I am, I thought that a good ol' bushwalk would be a good idea, in a bioluminescent environment, at night, which should be beautiful. We packed the gear that we needed, plus some food and water, and headed out. We headed to the forest obviously, as the place definitely uh, had some interesting things. We decided to not interrupt the Na'vi, they could be sleeping.

We walked in the forest, the trees around us emitting a very subtle glow around us, it looked like the Everfree Forest, but it glowed. The place was a little damp, definitely because of the rain in the day, but not wet. The plants on the ground glowed a bit stronger than the trees, enabling us to see in the dark. The place felt very tranquil, perfect for the evening walk, but only if it didn't have dangerous creatures.

Speaking of dangerous creatures, we encountered some monster that looked like an axe with very thick legs. Lyra shined her torch on it, randomly angering it. 'Fucking hell Lyra, why did you make that thing angry?' Flamerider yelled at her, angering the creature even more due to the loud sound.

The axe creature was about 6 times as tall as us, just makes us seem tiny, seriously. One thing that is great is that we can dodge its attacks, something that large would definitely have bad maneuverability. It put its head down, looking like it was ready to charge at us. When it started charging, we knew we had to leave, or get out of the way.

Thanks to the light produced by the plants, we were easily able to evade it. Flamerider and Starry carrying Lyra and Sandbar. I forgot to mention Derpy, who also escaped but needed some help from me. She wasn't very good at flying, sometimes flying a bit off and crashing, but she knew how to fly, and it's better to do something bad than to not be able to do it, like cooking.

We were all in the air, I let go of Derpy. She started flying, but not in a good way, swaying from side to side. We quickly got out of the forest, hearing the roars of that axe headed creature. We flew out of the forest, heading back to our home. Starry had a pretty good sense of direction, so we followed her.

When we were back at our home, we decided that going out at night wasn't the best idea, with the dangerous creatures. I then said, 'how do the creatures here survive the night?'

That rose up a discussion, a very interesting one actually. Everypony made up theories about how they survived, but the easy answer was that they just survived here full stop. I made a little fire, starting to cook for everyone. I took some of the grass outside and some berries. Great thing I knew advanced survival skills, making a fire was super easy.

I started to cook up the food, roasting all of it. I dried up the grass to make hay and made jam from heating up the berries and adding a bit of water into it. Great thing it tasted great, seriously, it tasted great, except for maybe the jam, that had a little bit of a bitter aftertaste.

As the night progressed, I looked out the window of the cockpit, maybe I should make that my cabin. The cockpit was quite small, that is for such a large plane. The cockpit was pretty useless now, as you have to climb up the stairs and it was inconvenient, but it did give a good view outside, like a cupola, just without a 360° view.

For that night, I spent it all in the cockpit, looking out of it, enjoying the view until it was morning, or when Polyphemus gets out the way of the light. In my opinion, the cockpit was great for some alone time or whatnot, as the environment in it is very tranquil, great for reading or something like that, also comes with a great view.

For that night, I saw some flying bird-like things which were more like dragons. They were not very bioluminescent, but they did emit a glow. It did spook me out a little, looking strange. At least they didn't attack our home, that would be bad.

Night time on Pandora is not good.
