//------------------------------// // Blue Meteorite // Story: My heart is bigger on the inside. // by IntenseMystics //------------------------------// “What is your wish young child?” the voice boomed in my head, sat in the middle of a huge room filled with just a light glow from the floor. “My wish? What wish?” I answered lightly “Child do not cheat yourself of your birth right, tell us what you need.” I Shrank back the voice got only louder and worse. “YOUNG CHILD, time is running out! MAKE YOUR CHOICE!” The voice yelled out of the dark. “I’m lonely, so lonely...” I whispered my answer into the darkness. I woke up startled and kicked the tree I was resting in. The tree shivered at the impact and spit me onto the hard ground. I hit the ground, rolled into the deeper grass. “Ouch…” I quietly whispered to myself. I kept on rolling in till I could see the sky. It’s weird, people respect Lunas glorious night sky but never really admire it. Ponies don't understand the idea of night sky and how it’s a work of art. The shades of black and blue mixing perfectly, the bright balls called stars gleaming quietly in the background. And the moon, the glorious moon. What would it be like to be on the moon? What does it look like? Questions milled around my head for minutes till I rolled onto my stomach to look at my ‘home’. I lived up on a hill just outside of ponyville. Not much but it gives me the best shelter for getting no shelter. I pushed up onto my hooves and slowly stored my scooter and helmet into the base of the tree and started to pull out a small package of apples I got from applebloom. I held the apples firmly in my mouth and trotted into a small patch of blue grass just outside of the trees canopy so I could gaze at the sky and eat. I slowly ate each apple in till every bit was gone. I moved aside the bag they came in and laid back to watch to see if luna would gift me with the presence of a shooting star. “Ah, would you look at that one! Thank you luna!” I shouted into the sky as I followed one with my orange hoof. “Hey… why isn’t it disappearing yet?” I kept following it with my hoof. It got closer and closer, “It’s going to land in the lake!” I watched it as it got closer. I jumped up and ran to my scooter, I tried to pull it out but it got stuck on a root. I kept pulling till It popped out sending me flying backwards. I landed on my tail but quickly looked at my scooter, I watched as a wheel went rolling down the hill. “Ah! No! come back!” I dropped my scooter and ran down the hill following the wheel. I bumbled down the hill tripping over rocks and dirt on my way down. “Come on legs move faster!” I made my small legs go as fast as I could. I saw the rock but wasn’t able to stop fast enough and ended up tumbling head first down the green hill after my wheel. I hit dirt clumps and spiky bushes trying futilely to stop myself as I knew where this hill ended at. I rolled and rolled getting motion sickness, I could almost feel myself turning green. I hit one big rock and it hurt a lot but at least it righted me so now I was sliding on my stomach towards the bottom. I looked up at the sky and could still see the meteorite heading towards the same destination as myself now. It made weird groaning and wheezing noises I could hear from the ground and also the sound of myself screaming. I kept heading towards the lake showing no signs of stopping but neither did it. I watched as my wheel made a small splash in the water but then was covered with water myself. I poked my head out of the water and let out a stream of water from my mouth and started coughing after. I turned my head to the sky only to see the Huge meteorite hit the calm waters surface with a splash. A giant wave took over me and threw me around like I was in a washing machine, The waters swirled and I just kept paddling futilely. Finally when my orange head surfaced over the water my eyes followed my ears to the sound of high and low pings and dings. A blue box floated on the surface of the water. The groans of the box scared me but still I found myself swimming towards it. It was starting to sink… “Ahh! Wha…OH NO OH NO OH NO” I heard shouting coming from inside and bangs and smashes. “Umm…Hello!?” I shouted towards the box but the box didn’t answer it just kept crashing about, I swam towards it and nudged it with my nose. A huge smash greeted me immediately afterwards scaring me so I hit it even harder as I kicked off it with my hooves. Slowly I watched as the water dragged the blue box under the waves, A splash of brown then nothing. The water started calming when suddenly another splash of brown disrupted the water again followed by a shout. I quickly swam towards the area but the water was again very calm. I felt something touch my leg, and then something pulled me under the water. When I surfaced I saw a brown head pop out, He looked at me startled and somewhat scared but immediately disappeared again. It took me a moment to register what I just saw, “Oh! Oh no! A pony!” I looked around the lake for something to help me, nothing not even a branch. I dived under the water to look for the pony but the water was the only thing I could see. After a couple minutes of searching I gave up, what could a small filly do… I can’t even find the pony. Tears started to scratch at the side of my eyes. I just let a pony drown…I started to sob uncontrollably. “I’m so useless! I can’t find my super special talent and I just let a pony DIE!” I sobbed and screamed at the night. The wind started to pick up slightly and pushed at the cover of the water creating waves. As the tears fell off my face and my purple mane became matted. I cried myself to sleep at the edge of the lake when I woke I was greeted with the scene of nothing. The lake was calm and the trees just lightly sang to the wind. The moon was just setting and the sun was rising. I stood up still looking at the ground on the verge of crying again, I walked around the lake slowly dragging my hooves. I reached my hole in the sand which I created the night before and just flopped down in the hole and started to silently cry. “I can’t tell anybody…it’s not like anybody would believe me or would anybody care. Of course there’s applebloom and sweetiebell but they just try to get a cutie mark out of it…” The wind gusted back my mane allowing me to see the moon just sink over the hill but my eyes looked towards the smudge on the bank. The wind died down and my mane drifted down back to my face. I looked up and moved it away. There it was a brown shape of a pony on the side of the lake. I let out one sniffle and wiped away tears from my puffy purple eyes. I slowly stood up and brushed away the sand and trotted down to the body bracing myself for the worst. The body a calm brown with darker brown spikier mane and a short tail. He was obviously a stallion but one I’d never seen before, he had an hourglass cutie mark… what an odd cutie mark. Wonder what it means. I stood in front of the stallion looking at the still body. I lifted up my hoof to poke at him “Well or you going to help me or not? Miss, I Believe you owe me after you practically let me drown.” His mouth suddenly started talking and his eyes opened. Very fierce blue eyes. “Uh, uh?” I just stuttered and stood there as the stallion lay on the beach. “Well come on now, I can’t stand. New body you know, very awkward especially when you see to be a four legged animal opposed to a two. “ He attempted to move his legs but somehow kicked himself. I pushed my small head underneath his chest and pushed him up as high as I could, why am I helping a stranger who should be dead? I felt him kicking his legs trying to get a good stand. When he finally got a shaky stand I removed my head from under his chest When I got a good look at him he seemed awkward and odd with everything but still somehow had this air of calm and knowledge, sort of like no matter what happens he’ll save you. “Well thank you, Ah! Introductions I forgot! My name is the doctor, yours?” He shakily offered his hoof. “Scootaloo and Doctor who?” I asked, I took his hoof put only to help not fall over. “Ahh now that was the question I was waiting for, just the doctor. Now if I may, I do not believe your name is scootaloo… something much better.” He just stood there looking at me. “Ahaha, No my name really is just scootaloo.” I nodded my head but I felt just a bit of my resolve dissolve. “No, No it’s not. It really isn’t. I would appreciate greatly if you could tell me.” He glared me down. “ You're not telling your name why should I?” I glared him back equally. How did I get from sobbing mess to fighting with a guy from the sky? “Good point… anyways this planet what’s it called I have never heard of a planet with sentient hosts which are horses. I feel that I would have heard of… A level three planet with talking horses. Yep this is definitely a level three, no pollution of any sorts in the air.” He started rambling about planets and the air. A loud bong filled the air and the doctor seemed rather startled by it. “Uh, what was that?” He looked at me and grinned, he let out a shrill whistle then suddenly a loud noise started up, wind started to throw up sand into the air and in the middle of it was the blue box slowly forming in the center. When the wind and the noise stopped a loud bong sounded again. The doctor looked at me and grinned a silly full grin and just clicked his teeth and suddenly the doors to the box flew open with a gust of air. I sat in the sand with my mane swept back and my mouth wide open. “Well would you care to help me into her, as it seems I still can't walk.” He continued grinning like a madman. I walked up to him still my eyes were wide with shock but I walked him towards the blue box with him almost completely on top of me. I walked him to a old chair in the big cylinder room. I sat down beside him and just stared at the room. The glass floor lead to a bottom and a huge cylinder was in the middle. The sides had lights or something in them and wires hang from the ceiling sporadically. Stairs lead to places unknown just waiting for adventures like me to explore them. It was a paradise for me. “Well any comments, questions?” The doctor with a grin that could only be described with satisfaction, joy and smugness. “Whys it blue?” I just let the first question fly off my head. But the doctor just looked surprised. ‘Well that’s new.” The doctor stated
