The return of a Prince.

It was the day of the annual meteor shower,where dozens of meteors fly past Equestria and,of course,burning up in the atmosphere in the process.The Mane six,Spike, (whom has fallen asleep in the punch bowl again) and a lot of the residents of Ponyville had set up camp fires and tents to wait for the meteor shower to start.

A large clear field was being used do to the amount of ponies watching tonight,since it is Friday. There was excitement all around the field,colts and fillies jumping and playing,eagerly waiting for the meteor shower.The sky was clear,the sun was setting and the meteor shower was expected to begin in a few minutes.The Mane Six had gotten there tents set up In the front row of all the other tents.

"I still can't believe ya got us the front row for the meteor shower, Rainbow!" Applejack said as everypony prepared for the arrival of the meteor shower.

"Well I am the fastest flyer In all of Equestria!" Rainbow said cheerfully.

"That is true, Rainbow,but I swear that crowd was gonna beat ya." Applejack said back,smirking slightly,knowing the blue Pegasus would boast.

"Please, it will take more than a crowd of ponies trying to get the front row to beat me! Hey Pinkie!" Rainbow yelled." Got anymore of that cake you brought?"

Pinkie,whom appeared out of nowhere, merely drops a double chocolate fudge cake and smiles before bouncing off to her tent to get...who knows what.

"Twilight Darling, when will this meteor shower start?It's starting to get cold out here!" Rarity asked shivering.

Twilight calmly says"In about two or three minutes Rarity,oh this is so exciting!Who knows!Maybe a meteor will crash near Ponyville!" The rest of the mane six stop talking and stare at Twilight with wide eyes.

"W-where nopony is near of course!".

"Well,why would want a meteor to crash near Ponyville Twilight? Um,that is,if you want to answer." Fluttershy asked quietly,but loud enough to be heard by her friends over all the other ponies around the field.

"Why to study it Fluttershy! Have you ever wondered what it could be made of,or how parts of it can survive entering our planet's atmosphere? Twilight replied excited by the prospect of studying a meteor." That is,if most of it doesn't burn up in the atmosphere."

Rainbow,rolling her eyes,states "egghead alert!" and then goes back to eating her cake.

"Look the meteor shower is starting!" shouted a random pony.

------Meanwhile------

Darknight opened his eyes to see a wonderful and horrifying sight.The wonderful sight was all the meteors falling to Equestria creating that wonderful sight I told you about,the horrifying part is that the orb is falling towards Equestria as well and seems to be losing altitude very fast!

"Oh buck,you gotta be kidding me."Darknight says,seeing doom approaching at 500 mph."well...this is gonna hurt...."

------Back at the Mane six------

The meteor shower had begun,and what an amazing sight it was!There must have been hundreds,for the now night sky was lit up as bright as day!

"Oh oh! look Twilight, there a meteor heading straight towards Canterlot!"Pinkie stated looking towards Canterlot, jumping up and down.

Pinkie's comment Instantly causes everypony on the field to stiffen,as they turn, they all see Canterlot and catch a sight of the *glowing* meteor flying towards Canterlot at wall braking speed,about to hit the Canterlot gardens that reside next to the Canterlot Palace.

"Everypony hold on!"Twilight yells as she prepared a group teleportation spell to Canterlot,which requires a lot of energy if six are teleporting,even more at a long distance.

------Canterlot------

*CRASH*

Guards,the princesses, and all the Canterlot citizens were are startled by a sudden crash by a certain orb,as it hit the Canterlot Gardens.Luna and Celestia were both shaken viciously by the sudden impact from the orb that Celestia was thrown out of her bed and Luna nearly toppled face first onto the marble floor.

Luna immediately runs towards the sound of the blast,making sure anypony she runs into Is alright and quickly healing those who aren't. while Celestia gets off the cold floor and fly's to the Gardens,where panicking guards,animals,and smoke are.

The mane six are teleported in front of the Palace. But Twilight nearly passes out from the unexpected amount of magic needed to do the spell on six ponies plus long range teleportation for each one.Being supported by Pinkie pie and Applejack ,she and the rest on the Mane Six make there way to the Canterlot gardens.

They arrive to find and a crater,the guards still confused,animal running everywhere whom Fluttershy tries to calm down with limited success, and the princesses talking to what seems to be another alicorn! As the mane six all trot up to them, Luna suddenly hugs the black-colored alicorn, whom hugs her back as they both weep tears of possibly joy.

As they continue to hug, Celestia notices and approaches the mane six.

"I know this seems weird to you all, but I will explain." Celestia turns and points at the dark alicorn.

"That is prince Darknight, Luna's son."
