星海之辉（Starry light）

"I think today is the best day in the world..."

The easy music danced merrily in his ears like a naughty pony, while he lay dead on his bed like a deflated balloon, motionless, eyes numbed ahead.

He felt like a leaf on the sea, and the currents from all directions gently pulled his hoof, as if telling him, "Come and take you to a better world."

But who knows whether there are dark clouds or clear skies ahead?

Sometimes, he feels that only with headphones, curled up in a small bed, the world is his. He did not drink or smoke, and the only way to regulate his mood was to lock himself in a room alone, with music as his barrier, blocking out all the harm in the world and placing his mind on a soft bed.

The room was not big, but it had everything he needed to live. The ground was strewn with bits and pieces, like toys discarded after being played with by a pony, or like his life, either turned into a good part and integrated into the society, or left to rust slowly on the ground in a dark, damp corner.

His name is Dusty Eye, a talented Pegasus who just graduated from Friendship University. Appreciated by the star-studded headmaster, he was recommended to work for a warwear design company on the Moon colony.

All the ponies around him said to him, "Why are you so sad? You have things that many ponies don't have."

Yes, a high degree, a good job, these things like the stars in this young pegasus shining. But between the bright stars, the almost endless darkness was what really existed in his heart.

He tried to see a psychiatrist, but the high cost of treatment put him off. He is like a battered ship, sailing in a sea called "society", this ship is very tall, in the eyes of other ponies he must be able to break through the waves, out of his own world.

But only as a captain, he knew that under the bright exterior, the ship had broken several holes.

He rolled over in bed, the music like soft waves constantly beating him, and he himself like a stone sculpture, or a rock, quietly staring at the distant horizon, he had seen the sunset, the golden sun with the sun ungrudgingly set a gold clothes for him. He had seen clouds gathering, waves crashing on the shore, thunder and lightning.

Sometimes, he feels like he just needs to sit by the window, listen to a piece of music he likes, look out the window, and feel like he instantly owns the world.

"I think today is the best day of my life ………… I always don't want to think about the uncontrollable future, if I live a lonely life, lonely life, it doesn't matter."

What a beautiful scene outside the window, deep space, like a huge black cloth, hidden inside the infinite possibilities, in this starry age, every pony is shining like a star in the sky. The endless lunar soil is busy with all kinds of ponies, they are the fuel of this era, pushing the rocket of this era.

That distant planet shines like a blue jewel in the night sky, the blue ocean, the green forest, little Mary, where they carry their childhood, youth, beauty, joy, pain, sadness.

He still remembered that at the age of 18, he stepped into the threshold of Friendship University, which had been established for a long time, he still remembered the Starlight president's speech at the opening ceremony, at that time he was obsessed with academics, crazy learning about all the knowledge of the war uniform, like a hungry pony found a piece of bread and gulped down.

He did not think so much at that time, he believed that as long as his knowledge was in place, he would be able to mix in the society.

Dusty Eye went to the bathroom and looked at himself in the mirror-a gray pony, whose skin was white in the pale light, and whose eyes were brighter than those of the poorest tramp in all of Little Mary.

He took a deep breath, finished a simple wash, carefully walked through the pile of parts on the floor, lay down on the bed, and took off his headphones like a pony puts down its toys.

Go to sleep, let the hazy sleepiness like gauze wrap themselves, let the sleep shield everything, immersed in their own fantasy village.

Will life make you dream dreams, or nightmares?
..................... In a dream ………………

"It's a beautiful day today, just like my graduation project."

Dust eyes happily brought their graduation design ———— a set of space battle suit, performance is very good, high temperature, cold resistance, but also especially resistant to pressure, which is the crystallization of science and technology and magic.

He is in his senior year and is now preparing to take his graduation project to an interview for an internship at a company on a lunar colony.

In this era of advanced technology, Little Mary has undergone tremendous changes, Pony Valley from the beginning of a small village into a metropolis, Canterot is becoming the most prosperous and beautiful city built by the ponies. In addition, the ponies have built one of the largest projects in pony history ———— space elevator.

The space elevator was originally proposed by Princess Twilight Sparkle, and it has taken more than ten years to build a space elevator from Canterot to the interstellar space station, and it only takes half an hour to return.

"This is the journey from Canterot to Space Station 1. Please wear protective clothing and put your luggage in the baggage compartment. The departure time is five minutes.

Dusty Eyes was sitting near the window, his heart excited, as if it had been filled with cupcakes.

When he finally started, he heard a loud noise. It was the engine roaring. He could even see the fire and the air dancing beneath him. He soon felt a huge push, and his whole pony was pinned down to the seat, although protected by protective clothing, but the strong pressure was still uncomfortable, but only for a while, once in the stratosphere, it will be much better.

He turned his head with difficulty and looked out of the window.

"Wow, is that City in the clouds?" The Pegasus used technology and magic to build a new, glorious city in the clouds on the soft clouds, which from a distance looked like a castle in the sky, or a cake, the white clouds were the cream of the cake, and the colorful lights were like sprinkles sprinkled on it.

If only I could hear it now...

After the lift had risen for a while, the speed finally dropped, and the ponies were able to take off their protective suits, and Dusty Eyes felt a sense of relief, from which they could see the whole of Little Mary, from Canterot to the Crystal Empire, to Griffon Island, and Acstan.

This is a good time, this is a time that every pony yearns for, we finally run to the sea of stars.

Suddenly, the whole elevator jerked, and at that moment, all the ponies, including Dust eyes, felt their souls shaken out of the elevator.

An unprecedented panic gripped every pony in the room, and Dugeye hurried to his feet, but the elevator clerk pushed him back.

"Don't panic, ponies, we'll find out as soon as we can..."

But as soon as the words stopped, the whole elevator suddenly jerked again, as if there had been an earthquake.

Dust eyes now have 10,000 ponies running in the heart, the passengers around are not reserved to scream, the air is filled with a breath of death, the entire elevator interior is like a newborn baby delivery room, crying, screaming, interwoven, can be heard.

Some of the ponies fidgeted, beads of sweat on their foreheads made him look as if he had just gotten out of a bath. The ponies began to move uneasily in the elevator. Some of the ponies were ready to open the luggage compartment and take their luggage, though Dusty Eye didn't know why they were doing it.

"Yes, my suit!“

Dust eyes got up, against the upward pressure of the elevator, a little hard to come to the luggage compartment, and finally found his customized space suit. This suit is a little heavy and will take some time to put on.

Suddenly, the pressure of the elevator rising disappeared like a thin air, and the elevator interior was quiet for a moment, just like a heavy rain suddenly stopped, and all the ponies' hearts tightened, and dust eyes immediately realized that something was wrong and hurriedly wanted to put on the suit.

But it was too late.

The whole elevator began to descend rapidly, and all the ponies were pressed against the ceiling by the sudden drop of anti-gravity, and made a loud thunking noise, as if death had rung the bell, and this time they could not scream even if they wanted to.

"Oh no..." Dust-eye is pinned to the ceiling of the baggage compartment, but fortunately his limbs and hooves are already dressed in battle suits, and now he just needs to get dressed in war suits and get out of there before the elevator turns them all into patties.

'Come on!” Although the pressure when the elevator is falling is even greater than when the elevator is rising, but the dust eye knows that he is in a race with death, every minute and every second is the time of life and death, he is still young, just graduated from the Friendship University, he still has great ambitions and ideals, there are countless wonderful things waiting for him to experience, there are countless beautiful scenery waiting for him to enjoy, he is still young, He didn't want to die.

Under the adrenaline, under the tremendous pressure, he spent the rest of his life trying to put on his suit. Now he could finally stand up.

He looked around, went to the nearest window, and knocked hard on it.

The glass lines are unmoved, like steel plates.

"Please! Don't make fun of me!"

Dust-eye's heart was about to explode, and after hitting the glass several times without success, he quickly ran to the distance, aimed at the glass, and activated the propeller that came with the suit, ready to smash the glass.

"Princess Selasdia bless me! “In the strong shaking of the elevator, dust Eye is ready to die.

The engine starts, the dust eye is like a cannon ball in general, severely smashed the tempered glass on the elevator, to be honest, even the dust eye himself did not expect his suit can actually smash aerospace materials, it seems that his previous knowledge saved himself.

He flits around the troposphere like a doll tossed around by a foal.

Fortunately, his physical quality is excellent, after jumping a dazzling ballet in the air, dust eyes finally stabilized his body, he looked down, the space elevator is like an asteroid, its shell has been friction by the atmosphere and fire, it looks like it will explode at any time, the passengers inside are estimated to have been scorched.

Dust-eye's heart thumped, he felt a jolt of dizziness, and then he fell slowly ………………

.......................................... Wake up from a dream ……………………

Dust eyes woke up from sleep, his body has been scared out of a cold sweat, the sheets are wet, he is the only survivor of that terrible event, the space elevator began to fall from the stratosphere, the elevator pony is not spared, on the ground, all the buildings around the elevator basically did not escape the fate of destruction, Death's sickle ruthlessly took the lives of hundreds of innocent ponies.

It was also because of that incident that my suit passed the graduation assessment in a special way, and I was also recommended by the star-studded principal to work as an intern in this large company.

Dust eyes gasped a breath, this thing has been half a year, but he still did not overcome the shadow of taking the space elevator, his next return to little Mary is still relying on their own made of combat clothing.

He brought the headphones, brought them on, and curled up, quietly feeling the music, like a baby with a pacifier …………
