“I don’t understand it!  How could this even happen?”

“I wish I knew, Twilight.  It troubles me that my night sky has changed so much.”  Luna sighed tiredly, marking with a quill on the star chart the newest position of one of what she’s always thought of as ‘her’ stars.

Several dozen of them had changed position in the last week.  It happened at random, and no force in the universe that she could think of could explain the apparent movement of several quadrillion tons of plasmatic matter, per star, across entire sections of space measured in light years.  Her sister was the only creature she’d ever known to be able to move such an object.  The thought of other such powerful beings roaming the cosmos sent a chill down her spine.

“Maybe…”  Twilight huffed and pulled her eye away from the telescope to look at Luna.  “Maybe, it has something to do rogue black holes?”

Luna shook her head.  “We’ve been over that.  If it were black holes, there would need to be hundreds of them, all moving at impossible vectors and speeds to do this.  Besides, we’d see other evidence of their passage through systems.  For all the stars affected by this, they each stand as lone unconnected events.”

“Wormholes?”  Twilight ventured weakly.

Luna shook her head again.  They’d gone over that scenario too.  Even hoofwaving aside the fact that wormholes were purely theoretical and relied on a dozen other theoretical physic principles, there would need be hundreds of huge, stable wormholes to achieve what they were seeing.

“Well… I’m tired, Luna.   Let’s head back to the bunker and heat up some food and coffee.”

Luna smiled at that.  Whenever Twilight lead her away from a problem, it meant that she wanted to refocus, look at it from a different angle.  Personally, she tended to focus on things a bit too much.  Something that blocked her from seeing the larger picture.

Twilight opened the hatch from the main Ultra High Altitude Geo-Stable Observatory Cloud observatory and threw on her enchanted parka to save her from the bitter chill of the thin air outside.  Luna followed her a moment later, tying the parka around her throat as she closed the hatch.  Their personal bunker was only a few meters away.  Perhaps after some food, she could talk Twilight into a hot shower.

“Luna!”  Twilight jolted Luna out of her thoughts and tapped her sharply on the shoulder.

“What?  What is it, Twilight?”

“Look!”  Twilight jabbed her hoof upwards.

Above them, Luna’s night sky was ablaze with stars.  The vast majority of them were in the places where the laws of gravity and thermodynamics and the whims of Faust had placed them.  Right in the middle of the sky however, hundreds of stars twinkled in constellation-sized letters.

They said, ‘DisCorD waz herE!’ and below that, in slightly smaller text, ‘Eat at Joe’s’.

Luna frowned and the night around her darkened.  “DISCORD! I WILL BUCKING KILL YOU!”
