And the Stones Showered the Earth

Chapter One

Meteor Shower collapsed onto her bed. She let out a sigh of relief after seeing the sun peer over the distant mountains.

“It seems Miss Celestia was able to quell her sister.” Meteor muttered before drifting into sleep.

Her eyes open wide, a streak of her indigo mane over her face. She checked to find that it was nearly sunset. She grabbed her quill and paper, quickly writing a letter to Blue Moon.

Dear Blue,

Your stories of Princess Luna are true. At the summer festival she was released. It seems however that Miss Celestia has calmed her rage. We must visit Miss Celestia at once. Please respond.

Sincerely,

Meteor Shower

Quickly folding and sealing her letter Meteor grabbed her pouch and left toward Ponyville. Only one pony could be trusted with this letter.

“Well, Hiya Meteor!” The cross-eyed pegasus said joyfully as Meteor Shower walked into her building.

“Hello Ditzy,” Meteor says returning the greeting. “I was wondering if you could get a letter to Blue for me.”

“Yeah, in about a week”

“It’s kind of urgent.”

“No can do Meteor, I took him mail this morning”

“Fine… just get it to him,” Meteor says, knowing she can’t argue with this mare. “two bits right?”

“Yup”

Meteor pushes a few bits and the letter on a table. “Go get yourself a muffin or something” Meteor mumbles on her way out.

“I guess that’s all I can do here in town,” Meteor whispers to herself. “Maybe I could visit Zecora.”

Meteor Shower lifts herself and flies rather leisurely toward Everfree Forest.

“Knock-Knock?” Meteor shower said as she carefully stepped into Zecoras’ open door. “Are you there Zecora?”

A loud hiss fills the room.

“Are you alright in there?” Meteor asks while looking into the faint glow of the back room.

“This potion will be magnificent, but the recipe is rather bent” Zecora says entering the room. “Ah. My old friend Meteor Shower… You seem to think that you have reason to cower.”

“Er… well I do, sort of.” Meteor says nervously, Zecora towering over her. “Princess Luna has escaped from the moon.”

“The story of Luna I know quite well, perhaps she is softened by how far she fell.”

“I don’t even know what that means, but it helps Zecora.” Meteor smiles, with less fear in her eyes. “Perhaps she has calmed from how long she was away.”

Zecora smiles and puts her head atop Meteors.

“You must go my friend, though far too soon. For it is nearing now the time of moon.”

“Thank you Zecora, I can always count on you.” Meteor shower smiles at the zebra and begins the flight home.
