I don't believe that if you do good, good things will happen. Everything is completely accidental and random. Sometimes bad things happen to very good people and sometimes good things happen to bad people. But at least if you try to do good things, then you're spending your time doing something worthwhile.

It was a peaceful afternoon in Ponyville as Twilight had helped a pony named Starlight Glimmer move into a new home within the castle. Starlight moved into Ponyville to better learn what friendship could be for the princess of friendship, Twilight Sparkle. It was great as she made a lot of new friends and finally enjoyed her life. After spending the day with Trixie, Rarity, Fluttershy, Applejack, Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash, and Twilight she was exhausted. So the pony in question got to her new home and unpacked what she had, most of which were old books and some furniture. After finally sorting her stuff, she made a nice meal and continued her studies well into the night.
In the dark of night, the little town of Ponyville slept peacefully. Every one of them were dreaming of various wonders they will hope to meet in the morning. Knowing that the Princess of the Night watched protectively over them was a comforting fact. However, one denizen of Ponyville was still wide awake.

Science fiction is any idea that occurs in the head and doesn't exist yet, but soon will, and will change everything for everybody, and nothing will ever be the same again. As soon as you have an idea that changes some small part of the world you are writing science fiction. It is always the art of the possible, never the impossible.
By Ray Bradbury
….
Starlight Glimmer was wide awake for a reason. She now had her one room, and once Twilight and Spike were asleep, she could finally let the real her out. Starlight took off her face...literally.
However, there was not flesh behind her face but...mice. To be more accurate, The crew of mice that pilots the mechanical mobile pony suit known as Starlight Glimmer. Without anypony knowing Starlight was in fact an attempt by mice to understand the primitive ponies of the surface. Starlight never existed but was a mobile suit made by mice to infiltrate and study the magic of ponies.
The Pilots were three of Mice-Kinds best operators. The three mice climbed out of the head of their mobile pony to be meet with their crew who secretly followed Starlight to Ponyville. Around twenty mice were now secretly in the castle that way they could make repairs to Starlight and keep the pilots safe and sound.
On the bed the leader of the pilots jumped on to talk to the supervisor of this mission. The pilot leader was named, Tsum.
“Tsum, how are your crew doing?” the supervisor asked the young mouse.
“The Starlight’s systems were a little stressed, but it seems all system are still working.” Tsum said.
“Good, now we need to talk’
“About what?”
“I want to go over the orders from the top brass.”
“Ok…”
“First a reminder on why we are doing this…” The Supervisor pulled out a holotape player to show Tsum. The holotape played a voice from the top brass...the United Federation of Mice.
‘Mice-Kind has always lived underground...and yet we are by far the most advanced race on this planet. With our use of magical ore and science we have tapped into knowledge that most creatures could only dream of. However. It was come to the Federation’s attention that the Magical Ore mines are running out, to prevent this we have began to study the magic...only to find that we lack the ability to use it naturally.
This info combined with the discovery of a race of creatures known as ‘ponies’ that are born with magic has lead to the creation of our finest work….The S.S Starlight Glimmer.
The Federation used the Starlight to first try and take magic from the ponies by way of their ‘cutie marks’, Then we experimented with time travel and possible scenarios. But now after all that we of the Federation have concluded that ‘Friendship’ is where these ponies gather such powerful magic. So it is up to the crew of Starlight Glimmer to learn what they can from subject ‘Twilight Sparkle’ on the use of friendship with magic.’
The Holotape ended as Tsum and The Supervisor thought on this. There mission, to find alternative magic for the mice was clear.
Just then a silent alarm went off to the mice repairing Starlight. It seems the subject known as ‘Spike’ is moving around the castle hallways. Tsum and his pilot crew ran into Starlight as the mice work crew put on her face plate.
“Magical Ore liquid has been placed into the Magic Power core!” Said Tsum’s academy rival, Mince.
“All systems green sir!” said Tsum’s best friend, Sainda.
“Then let's rock! Go!” With that battle cry Starlight Glimmer powered back on. Starlight opened her bedroom door to see Spike in the hallway looking around the floor. Starlight trotted to the little dragon who was ever yawning.
“Spike what are you doing?” yawned Starlight.
“Oh sorry Starlight, I was going to get a midnight snack when I thought I saw something,” Spike said as he rubbed his eyes of lack of sleep.
“What did you see?”
“I think it was mice...not sure, it was kinda dark.”
“Well...let's get you that snack and off to bed with you.”
‘Ah...sure.” Spike and Starlight both walked to the kitchen to grab a quick bite before bed. The pilot's watch as Spike, after eating, crawled back to bed. Starlight Glimmer trotted back to her room so the Work Crew could do their jobs as the Pilots slept, ready for the next day.
‘The Surface: the next frontier. These are the voyages of the Mobile Pony Suit, Starlight Glimmer. Its continuing mission: to explore strange new lands, to seek out new sources of magic and new adventures, to boldly go where no mouse has gone before.’
