As the sun rose on Equestria, some of its first few rays struck a parabolic mirror that focused them down into a point in a building in Maretropolis- that point being a prism that refracted the intensified light into a dozen, each reflected by another group of mirrors, one of which was directed right at the light sensor on a particular pony's bed- activating the bed's function, sending a shock through the one sleeping on it.

"Yow-eee!" the pony exclaimed, throwing off the covers and jumping off her bed in one bound, a moment later hearing a crash in another room. "Ten years later, thing still stings like a oxenbee!"

She then looked over at a device on her bedside table and touched it with her horn, sending a jolt of magic through it. The entire room she was in started to glow and twinkle in many colours, and several -meters of undiscernable function began to have their needles vibrate wildly. A few seconds later, one of them finally stopped, and the pony walked over to it.

"Bob shooa! I gotta go to the sky for a magic I ain't seen yet? That don't seem right, 'specially with not too much in the sky 'round here..."

She scratched the back of her head in confusion, then poked the needle. It moved about it a bit but again settled where it was.

"Well, better get going, magic ain't gonna learn itself!"

With that, she ran to a wall and kicked it, making what looked like a broom but with several colourful metallic pieces all over it- including a part that was slowly leaking smoke- fall out of the wall. She quickly sat on it and kicked it. "Let's go! Go!" she exclaimed, the second Go after it didn't immediately do anything.

She leaned more over it and touched a metallic point near the tip with her horn. The entire thing crackled and began to wobbily hover. With a kick from its rider, it quickly flew out of an open window in front of it, trailing smoke. "Time to go uuuuup!"
