Is There any Life Beyond Equestria?

It was just another beautiful calm night under the night sky of Luna. Just as always, it was a peaceful night, no worries, no trouble, just at amity with the moon fully out. Twilight Sparkle was just reading a book...-as always-...in her library tree home about historical events that have happened over Equestria through out the ages and, how it changed her world.

"Wow, who knew how things could quickly unfold just in a small or large number of years!" Twilight exclaimed while using her magic to close the book, and store it back to its proper holding place on the bookshelf. She used her magic to grab and levitate another book off the shelf; this one was titled "Celestial Events Over Equestria"

Using her magic, Twilight opened the book, and saw recorded dates and times of many celestial events such as meteor showers; or when a comet is about to pass by over Equestria. Twilight was fascinated by how many have been recorded, and remembering when she also witnessed these events herself. Twilight continued to flip thought the pages with her magic when something caught her attention.

"Constellations in Equestria," Twilight said looking at it with curiosity. "Sounds intersting..."

flipped through some pages and saw how the position of stars form different creatures or items. Twilight saw how one of them formed a saddle, and another formed the head of a unicorn, then another group forming a Manticore.

"I wonder how some pony even found out constellations", said Twilight as she put a hoof to her chin thinking how in Equestria a pony could've discovered the starry silhouettes.

Twilight asked, "How long has it been since the heavens were born?"

Twilight trotted up stairs to her telescope she had all the way at the top of her tree home. She decided to look at the night sky over Equestria. Twilight was all ways fascinated by the endless numbers of stars that were always shining and twinkling. There was one thing that always crossed her mind...

...Was there any life beyond Equestria itself?

Twilight constantly thought everytime she would observe Luna's night sky. Twilight was wondering endlessly about if there's life beyond this planet. Twilight got a little excited eveytime she thought of a race far beyond her own, having an infinite number of knowledge being shared among ponies like herself. Twilight then snapped herself out of her imagination when she suddenly thought of an idea.

Twilight said, "Maybe I should ask Princess Celestia if she's ever wondered about life beyond her kingdom and planet?"

Twilight was about to prepare a piece of paper and a quill to write to the sun goddess , but then she realized one problem...Spike was asleep.

"Darn!"

Twilight was very eager to write this letter to Celestia about what crossed her mind. Twilight had only one option mind...just to get a good night's rest and wait for tomorrow to send the letter. Twilight decided that was best thing to do was to get a good night's rest and went to her bedroom to call it a night. Twilight let out a small yawn before closing her eyes completely and quickly fell into a deep sleep.

Twilight woke up the next morning with Celestia's sun giving off its life bringing light all over Equestria. Twilight stretched her forelegs in the air letting out a yawn. She got out of bed letting her hind legs hang over the side of her bed. Twilight felt something rumble, she looked down and saw her stomach was rumbling loudly! She let out a small blush as she thought how embarrassing it would've been if any her friends saw this! Twilight quickly headed downs stairs towards the kitchen without waking up Spike from his sleep.

Having some tea and a few cookies should satisfy my stomach's demands...

Twilight was in the kitchen now sipping at her tea and eating one of Sugar Cube Corner's finest cookies when she heard small light footsteps down the stairs and saw her number 1# personnel assistant, Spike.

Twilight asked, "How did you sleep last night, Spike?"  as she saw Spike rubbing his left eye with his claw and waddling a little bit.

   "I slept just fine," yawned Spike.

Twilight just smiled at the baby dragon as he took a seat on the chair by the kitchen table. Then suddenly she remembered last night! The letter she wanted to send to Celestia about the idea of extraterrestrial life.

"Spike!"

Spike jumped a little bit at the spontaneous outburst from his mother/sister/friend.

    "What is it?!"

"I need you to send a letter to Princess Celestia right away!!!"

    "That's all you needed?..." Spike said lowering his eyelids a little bit giving a gesture of "Really..."

Twilight quickly levitated a piece of paper and a quill, quickly writing her thought over what she has been thinking of lately. Twilight then rolled up the letter with a small wrapping to hold it in place then levitating towards the awaiting grasp of Spike's claw. Spike then took a deep breath then letting out a small puff of green mystical fire, vaporizing the letter, not destroying it, but actually sending it.

Twilight just stood there letting out a small sigh of relief that she took that 'burden' off her chest. Spike just crossed his arms and shook his head left and right in disapproval and went upstairs again. Twilight just walked out towards the the living room that was surrounded by so many books, and just stood there patiently awaiting the response from the sun goddess.

"I hope Princess Celestia answers quickly to the letter I sent her..." Twilight said a little worried on how long it will take for a response.

Twilight just decided to read a book to make time fly while waiting, but the book she grabbed with her was the same one from last night "Celestial Events Over Equestria". Once again she was lost through out the pages of the ancient writings over the astronomical records and drawings that have been recorded well...since forever.
