I drag myself back to reality after fly into the 4th bucking pony today. "Sorry sorry." I start to trot off towards the castle observatory. Luna's gonna kill me if I'm late... for the fifth time this month. Finally I punch the clock and get to my telescope and continue my research on the possible solar flare in the Pisces constellation. "Hello Starhunter." I whip my head around and see my head-supervisor Princess Luna. I give her a little quick smirk. "I see you finally showed up on time for once." I groan at that little running joke she's had since the beginning of my career. "Hardeeharhar very funny, can I please get back to work?" She gives me a nod and walks off to continue her rounds. 'Hey Starhunter, can I borrow a size-3 lens?" I only had one lens and I was kinda using it.... Bah darn my weak stallion heart. "Ya here you go." And here's the reason I'm so willing to do anything for anypony: that look of thanks that flashes in their eyes. "Just don't go telling everypony." He gives me a mock questioning look. I don't want Luna to put me on probation again for giving somepony else something I needed to do my work correctly. "What tell somepony that your generous?! No, it's only the one thing your known for except you know having your head in the clouds and being late." I guess you could call me a likable pony, but I do I do what I do because I want to. "Well anyway, Thanks dude." I half-hear what he says before I realize Celestia flies in through the sunroof and is talking to Luna. She and Celestia seem to scared and confused, but they seem to be doing a really good job hiding it because nopony else even bats an eyelash at the two rulers of Equestria looking so mortified. I'm climbing down to the floor when they swiftly gallop out of the observatory. Back to work I guess.....
