Through their way home,Fluttershy gave one everlasting glance at the constellation.Her silhouette was welcoming,and yet so far away.The indisdinct path they would follow was bathed in the light of countless celestial bodies.Maybe they just needed her company too.
"Fluttershy!"
Someone caught her in her improvised stargazing.
"Yes?"she replied naturally to a dot in the distance,interpreted as an angry unicorn.
"Don't slow down just yet,"worry crept over Rarity's voice,"we must hurry up before it gets too dark."
The pegasus didn't miss one point.Designating amusedly the thruth for every one to see.Her worries reached veracity.Rarity stood silent before this,until:
"You're right,but it's about to get darker and our only reliable source of light is this constellation.You know as much as me that it won't last for long."
Good point.The yellow pegasus approched reluctently her friends,Rainbow mid-levitating in flight in contained patience:
"You're right,we must hurry..."she murmured,ponctuating her effusive toughts with a glance toward the star formation.Its light intensity could compare to a hazy moon.It was inimaginable.
Confusin etched the unicorn,before she turned towards the direction she was facing.Now,she knew.Rarity gave a gentle smile her way:
"However,"she hummed in delight,"the next time could be made even more special..."
Now,it was Fluttershy's turn to be tainted in confusion:
"Whatever do you mean?"
"Next time,and if it ever does happen,we could stay outside the entire night to make full of stargazing,"she briefly threw a hoof at the direction of the constellation,"until each star won't be in sight anymore."Fluttershy didn't miss the oportunity to nod in agreement:
"Yes,we could do that."
"Maybe even accompany it with a picnic mayhaps?"the idea drew away a soft giggle from Fluttershy.A plan was starting to take shape.
"Come on,you two!"Rainbow interjected,wings flapping effortlesly,"We'll see all about it in abou-..."The pegasus cut herself,a bright light tickled her vision,"What the-..."
Right now and then,and with no sense of valorised warning,the entirety of the sky lit up.All of their supposed worries came to an end and increased to new levels.
The three mares turned to witness its source,what they found was nothing less than a single trail cutting trough the sky.Interpreted as a shooting star at first.But as they tilted their head in unisson to follow its path,they were sure and certain that a shooting star wasn't supposed to land on the ground and emit a brief earth-quake from the impact.
Fluttershy jumped from the ground elevating abruptly,she knew she've had enough and hid behind Rarity.A safe place.
"What was that?!"she peeked trough her curls.
The three parties exchaged concerned looks among them,not daring to voice their ignorance towards the nature of the event,the only possible way to find out.
Should they....?
Nope!
They trotted their way to Fluttershy's cottage,their pace fastening as their shadows cut in trough the light of the stars and the Moon enlightening their steps.Shadings danced accross the grass blew by the waft left of the meteorite's impact.Each astral good as they are,separated by light-year distances.
They've had enough adventure to last for a lifetime!
