It was half past midnight, and Twilight knew she should have been asleep by now. But she can't. She didn't know why, she just couldn't fall into a deep, dark, abyssal sleep like everypony else was doing. In fact, if she were to go into Spike's room, she would see her helpful little dragon sleeping like there was no tomorrow.

Sighing, Twilight got out of bed and decided that a glass of warm milk, would cool her nerves. She teleported to her kitchen, trying to not wake Spike, or any other pony. Her teleportation spells have often been known to be quite loud. A flash of lightning lit up Ponyville for a half a second. Twilight remembered that, as a filly, her dad had told her to count the seconds in between lightning and thunder. That's how many miles away the storm was.

She started counting as she drank her milk. One one thousand, two one thousand, three one- Thunder boomed outside, as clear as a bell.

"Three and a half miles away." She murmured to herself. She figured she may as well enjoy the atmosphere before the storm now. Something about it just seemed so...electrifying.

She stepped out of her giant crystal castle and ventured around to the back. Seeing a flash of lightning again, she started to count. One one thou-

*BOOM*

The sound of Thunder was deafening. And it was barley a mile away.

"I should probably go inside..." Twilight mused to herself. As she got up and started to fly back towards the door, lightning struck just inches away from her. Then thunder. Then rain.

She barley dodged the lightning, trying frantically to get back to the safety of her castle. Lightning, thunder, increasing rain. Lightning, thunder, increasing rain, Lightning.

Twilight lay on the ground. The rain falling on her as if she were nothing more than grass. Thunder boomed in the distance, and light filled up the sky once more. Twilight's just lucky that lightning never strikes in the same place twice.
