BOOOOOM!!!!!
“We didn't do it!” Scootaloo screamed out.
“I don't think anyone's going to buy that as we are in the crater Scootaloo.” Spike grumbled.
“Yeah, I know, it's a reflex by this point.” Scootaloo agreed.
“I can't feel my face.”Sweetiebelle whined.” I just wanted a cutie mark, and now I can't feel my face!”
“Use your hoof.” Applebloom offered.
“Oh. There it is.” Sweetiebelle chimed up putting a hoof on her nose.
“Why do I hang out with you guys outside of the gaming group again?” Firefly snarked.
“Cause I'm cute?” Scootaloo offered.
Firefly opened his mouth to respond, then shut it again seeing a losing discussion, as the sirens from the fire brigade drew closer to the new hole in the road at the edge of town.
The pained cry of the Mayor could be heard over the sirens.

Tempest Shadow was not nervous, she did not care about her looks and wanted her horn back so she would not be regarded as a cripple.
So why did the tiny colt with a cut off horn staring up at her make her want to be any where else.
“Murburgle?” the colt asked looking over at his father seated in a chair on the other side of the room.
“Yes Pan, she's mulberry colored.” the tan unicorn offered. Out of the six ponies in the room he was the only one whole and undamaged, though the colt was the only one who was enjoying himself, still too young to realize his handicap yet.
If Twilight could do what she planned, then he would never know he ever had one.
The occupants of the room were an odd mix.
There was Tempest, who lost her horn as a filly due to a star bear attack.
Pan Pan, and his father Level Mark, who was a carpenter. His wife was a pegasus named Shutter Snap who had complications with Pan's pregnancy. It was a rare condition where the colt's horn had formed and started growing into the lining of womb and pushing through it into her stomach and other organs growing into the soft tissue and fusing with it. The positioning of the colt and the fact it was unchecked during development was threatening her life before he had come any where near term. In order to save them the doctors had surgically removed his horn to the base along with a fair section of her internals to allow him to continue to develop enough to be born safely while also keeping the mother alive. It had worked and Shutter had pulled through, though Pan would be an only child. She was with them though had gone out to get snacks for Pan, leaving Level Mark to watch the colt trundle around the room and stare at everyone.
Most of the group was fine with this in truth, the colt was adorable after all, though an older unicorn named Cog Wheel was trying to pretend the little colt annoyed her. Like Tempest her horn had been removed due to damage that left the mares face scared. Cog had been an airship mechanic when she was younger and had an engine explode in her face. As standoffish and crotchety as the old mare was she had shown up without any issue when Twilight asked, though she had been grumbling a lot and had been generally unpleasant, but not to a degree that any one was really bothered by.
Fairy Circle was another unicorn mare who had suffered from the same issue as Pan having needed to have her horn removed in development. She had done fairly well for herself as a gardener and she and her husband were expecting. She was less worried about her own horn and more worried that her foal might have the same problem she had. The effect was so rare it didn't have a name, but that didn't seem to comfort the expecting mother.
The last was a Kirin named Shattered Glass. She was a singer in the Opera circuit and Rahs had been the one to point her out to Twilight. He had also immediately gotten her autograph and was set to talk shop for hours before Twilight had thrown him out. Tempest was not sure how the singer had lost her horn, but it was broken near the middle and she had no visible scars otherwise.
The seventh and eighth ponies there were actually from the Crystal empire and were currently in Twilight's lab getting examined.
One was a Crystal pony named Opal Setting, her Daughter Pearl Setting was the first Crystal Unicorn born in the Empire after it's return. Twilight was checking out the foal and it's unusual horn growth.
It seemed Crystal Unicorns were not born with their horns like regular Unicorns, but after a few months the crystalline growth that would be their horns started to form and grew, often needing to be trimmed if the growth was too excessive of varied. Moon Dancer and Sunburst had spent a good bit of time scouring the libraries to find a book on proper Crystal horn care to present to the new parents and Moon Dancer was working on yet another doctorate in a medical field that quite frankly hadn't existed in a thousand years.
Twilight had theorized that if she could figure out how the growth worked she might be able to use something like that to help those here regrow their lost horns, they wouldn't be natural, but if Twilight could grow the crystal correctly it would act very much like a real horn.
Tempest didn't care if she had a horn made out of a sex toy so long as it allowed her to cast again properly.
The door to the lab opened and the little crystal filly and her mother trotted out with Twilight behind them. The filly had a rather large sucker which Pan immediately zeroed in on and made a bee line for before his father grabbed him much to the colts protests.
“Thank you for that Opal. I think this will help out. I'd like you two to stick around for a few more days for a few more tests, but this looks promising.” Twilight explained.
“Tis not any trouble Princess Sparkle.“ Opal offered getting a small flinch from Twilight and a loud cackle from Sunset who was still in the lab behind them having been acting as Twilight's assistant with her skill as a Blood Mage. “After what you and your brothers have done this is the least I can do to help. Particularly since it will also help other ponies.”
“Kambie.” Pan demanded slipping away from his father and tramping across the room to prod at Twilight's leg.
Twilight glanced down gently picking the colt up in her magic and floating him back over to his father, with a small wrapped candy piece which the colt was very focused on tearing into.
“Okay, can you make your way back to the hotel on your own?” Twilight asked just before a loud explosion sounded from outside and everyone not native to Ponyville flinched much like the last few dozen explosions. She looked up at the ceiling.”Seshat?”
“Impressive. They really' didn't' do that one, not directly. Though the two wild pigs they were riding some how managed to set off a barrel of Trixie's fireworks after they got away from the Crusaders.” Seshat offered.
“I hope those pigs are fast or Trixie is going to be cooking bacon later.” Tempest sighed pushing up to her hooves. “Come on I'll guide you to your hotel. East street should be cleared up by now.”
“How do any of you live like this?” Cog Wheel demanded clearly more shaken by the explosions than any one else. For good reason.
“It's Tuesday.” Sunset called from behind Twilight.
“Ehh, what she said.” Twilight shrugged. “Fairy come on back, I want to make sure everything's going well with you.”
