Splatoon: 12 Years Later

"Atmospheric entry is a dangerous procedure. As we penetrate the atmosphere, friction creates a superheated plasma around the ship, cutting off radio contact. We have a thermometer to keep track of our temperature and make sure we don't get too hot by coming in too steep. If that happens, we would be vaporized and our ship would burn up.", explained Marie as the ship began to enter the atmosphere on Equus.

True to her words, flames appeared around the ship and the outside temperature jumped way up. The only thing anyone could do at this point was hold their breath. After three minutes, the temperature dropped back down as they came into clear air. The main engines were reignited and Callie took the controls to fly over the land in order to find a safe area to land. They had heard from Flurry Heart in the past about places where landing was not safe, so she made sure not to go near those areas. Once they had found a landing area where no-one would see them, they touched down and then got off the ship. After pitching tents for the night, everyone got into their pajamas and got ready to go to bed. Before fully going to sleep, Andrew and Michael suggested stargazing for a while. Lizzie and Taylor loved stargazing, so they joined their dads outside and looked at many different constellations that they had not seen from Earth. In fact, they had both learned about astronomy in school, so they were able to chart where the sun for their solar system was.

In the morning, everyone got dressed and boarded a train to Canterlot after having breakfast.
