It was a night like any other, she saw the late night Pegasus ponies clearing the night sky from a unscheduled thunder shower. As she browsed through the various areas of the sky she'd mapped out over the previous few months. Her main focus that night was a region that hung over Canterlot which recently had a meteor shower and it seemed that there were other large clusters of activity in the general area which had only came up in the past month. The hours ticked by and as her gaze darted through the sky suddenly a large pink twitchy blob blocked the view of the telescope. Twilight reached down and pressed a button next to the controls for the telescope which activated the intercom she'd recently had put in to act as an easier way to greet her friends and any visitors. As it buzzed on she spoke into the microphone beside her saying “Pinkie Pie what are you doing on my telescope?” the pink pony blob responded saying “Oh sorry Twilight, I didn't mean to cause any trouble, my Pinkie sense has been acting up something awful tonight and the last tremor launched me halfway across Ponyville so I’m thinking there may be another doozy coming in some time soon.” Twilight sat there in her observatory for a few moments her hoof plated firmly against the bridge of her snout, after a little time spent collecting herself she said with a rather exasperated tone “Alright I guess since your here you may as well stay for the night. Just try and to keep from breaking my stuff, I’m doing a very important astrological study.” Pinkie quickly nodded and saying “Astrology I didn't know you read horoscopes whats your sign, I’m a cancer. It doesn't mean I’m sick or anything. Although I can be a bit crabby at times... Get it crabby cause cancer is a crab shaped constellation.” after that she quickly bounced her way into the tree-house and made herself at home. Just then Twilight spotted something in the sky, it looked like a larger one of the meteors from the shower that happened over Canterlot. As she began to focus on it intently her horn began to react and the magic focused itself onto the lens and increased the magnification on the lens to where she could see the object in more detail. When she saw the more detailed image she was intrigued by it because the meteor had a strange orange glow to it and looked to have some form of radiant electricity arcing off the surface. From what she could tell it was on a path bound for Equestria, she couldn't tell where it would land but based on how fast it appeared to be flying it was maybe a few days away. Meanwhile downstairs in the library Spike was busy trying to clean up after Pinkie who had been bouncing around the room uncontrollably in response to her pinkie sense. A buzz rang out from the intercoms and Twilight's voice chimed in saying “Spike I need you to look up something in my astronomy textbooks.” she quickly detailed the information she'd gathered based on the appearance of the object and Spike quickly set to work trying find the information Twilight needed. After several minutes of frantic searching through the scattered books Spike heard a familiar voice ring out with a flat “Hoot.” as a small brown owl hovered down to him holding a book labeled “Astronomy and You: A beginners guide.” the little purple dragon smiled and said “Why thank you Owloysius.” to which the owl replied with a some what brighter “Hoot.” Spike quickly began to skim through the book looking for something that matched Twilight's description. He found a mention of a large meteor that matched the description which said “For further reading see Element 115 and Tunguska Meteors.” Pinkie quickly tossed two books over to him. One was labeled “Strange Happenings from Space: A reference guide for UFO conspiracy theorists.” and the other “The Periodic Table of Elements: The Starting Scientists best friend.” the first book fell open to a page that Pinkie pie had marked by bending the page with her tongue. The page had the heading “Tunguska Meteor: Freak occurrence or Alien invasion?” he glanced over the page and quickly drafted down a short summery with Pinkie's assistance sending the summery up to Twilight by way of a hydraulic tube system she'd put in so Derpy Hooves wouldn't have such a hard time delivering her mail. After it arrived Twilight buzzed down thanking him for it as he quickly began to look over the sheet. “The Tunguska meteor was a large meteor that struck a field in northern Russia in the late 1930's and was believed to have abnormal properties although such things are to this day yet to be accurately proven by science.” a second document quickly followed saying “Element 115 is commonly known as Ununpentium, is a relatively unknown compound and is still undergoing substantial research as of this point. It was believed to have effects resulting in reanimation and manipulation of decayed organic mater and has also been researched as a power source for high energy matter transference although those tests were never resolved and the data on file were destroyed near the end of World War II.” as she read that her eyes sparked with interest as she realized that this could be a chance to finish those studies and possibly find out more about the world that this element is believed to have come from. As she returned to her telescope she saw the meteor had started passing into horizon over Manehattan and was much brighter now than she first saw. She spent the next few hours trying to calculate the trajectory of the meteor and roughly where it would land. As the night ticked into the early morning hours the orb passed over the Tree-house and careened into Sweet Apple Acres Golden Delicious groves. After the dust settled back in the tree-house Pinkie began to bounce with even greater intensity as the wave of energy from the impact site cascaded over Ponyville. When the wave passed by she stopped and almost dead froze Twilight came down from the observatory to check on things and she asked Pinkie pie “Was that it, was that the doozy you were talking about.” Pinkie looked back at her and said “It seems like it may have been although when it started earlier it was a different type of doozy then my normal “twitch-a-twitch” somethings going to fall type its something even stranger than that.” Twilight smiled and said “I'm sure we'll be able to look it over in the morning. In the mean time lets go to bed.” as she opened up a door to her guest bedroom and then made her way upstairs to her room to make up for the lost hours of sleep.
