//------------------------------// // The beginning of the end // Story: PonyBound // by ThatBrony13 //------------------------------// Onett,a small town in Eagleland. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - It was night time, the sounds of Owls and Crickets filled the air. There was a few houses that was right next to the small town of Onett, one of them was the home of Twilight Sparkle, a filly with high levels of PSI/Magic who was at the moment fast asleep. When suddenly, she awoke to the sound of a meteorite soaring right over her house and crashing right onto a cliff not far from her neighborhood. Curious to know what exactly almost took her parents roof off, she made her way out of bed to ask her mother what exactly just happened. As she made her way down the hall to the living room (since her mother usually spent her time there at night) she started to hear faint sounds coming from outside, police sirens to be more exact. When she arrived at the living room her eyes met with her mothers eyes, Ms.Sparkle, who was married to Mr.Sparkle. Sadly, Twilight's father is always gone on business trips 24\7 so the only way they ever communicate with each other is by letters, but the bond they share together is still stronger then ever even though he is on the other side of the world at the moment. ''Mom, what was that thing that just passed our house? And why are there so many Police ponies checking on it?'' Said Twilight who was obviously dieing to go out and see for herself, so her mother replied in a calm matter despite the fact that something nearly destroyed her home.''A meteorite fell from the sky while you were sleeping and landed at the cliff where you usually go star gazing at, and of course the local gang called Sharks are trying to get a peek at it, that's why the Police are here to investigate it themselves so the gang doesn't steal anything important.'' Rubbing the loss of sleep from her eyes with her hoof, Twilight trotted to the nearby window to see exactly where the meteorite fell and if it impacted the terrain of her favorite spot.''Twilight, honey I know what you're thinking but I can't let you go to investigate at this time of night, but knowing you you're just going to climb out the window like you usually do and go anyways, so why don't you at least take Spike with you?'' Said Ms.Sparkle reluctantly as she pointed her hoof to the Dragon that was currently sleeping on the couch. Twilight sighed as she made her way to her pet Baby Dragon who was sleeping in a fetal position on the couch.''Wake up Spike! We're going for a walk!'' she said as she poked him twice in his stomach with her horn, she still remembers when her father got him for her birthday when he got back from one of his business trips, it was one of the best moments of her life.''Ugh, but It's like three O'clock at night! I don't want to go for a walk, I just want to sleep.'' Spike replied as he sat up to face Twilight who was looking at him impatiently.''Come on, when we come back I'll feed you sapphire gems!'' that was all he needed to hear to get him running at the door and opening it eagerly. As Twilight was making her way out the door, her mom calls out to her in a teasing tone ''Oh, Trixie might be outside as well so say hi to her alright sweetie?'' In return she earned an annoyed groan from the filly as she shuts the door with her magic. The first thing Twilight and Spike saw is a big glowing ominous red light past her neighbors house and on the cliff where she does her stargazing at.''Well Spike, I hope you like meteorites because we're going to see one up close," the purple filly said with a giggle as she grabs Spike by the tail with her magic and gallops towards the path that leads to the crash site of the meteor.''This is gonna be a long night.'' Spike mumbles as he's dragged across the ground forcefully and somewhat painfully, both of them unaware at the dangers this night would bring for the world.
