Fluttershy was up late one night caring for her animals, when she noticed a falling star. She made a wish to meet her very special somepony. Little did she realize that the star was heading for her cottage, and that it wasn't a star, it was a pony.

Prologue

Fluttershy had been awoken by the sound of a hooting owl right next to her as if it were an alarm clock. She then looked at her actual clock and saw it was 2 in the morning. She groaned and rolled out of bed as the owl began to lead her to where she was needed.

Once she had reached her destination she saw 2 young owl chicks on the ground, one seemed to have a broken wing. Fluttershy gently picked up the bird and wraped its wing with some cloth from the first aid kit she brought.

She then looked at the sky and saw a falling star. As she held her hooves as if in prayer she quietly made a wish. "I wish that there was somepony here to help me with the animals, somepony who could help these darlings when I needed rest, somepony kind and caring, somepony who would always be there to help." And with that she opened her eyes and concluded her wish.

Meanwhile, in the sky.

I was falling. I don't remember how or why, but I was falling. I didn't know where I was or where I was headed but I knew that I would be landing soon. And then just like that I crashed and blacked out.

Meanwhile, with Fluttershy.

Fluttershy was just starting back home when she heard a loud crash and earthquake. She yelped at the sudden noise, but realized that the noise came from close to her house. She hid in the bushes the rest of the way home.

Once she was at the bridge to her house she saw that somepony was lying in her frontyard. She saw he was injured and immediately ran to him. She couldn't see well in the dark of night so she brought the mysterious stallion inside to get a better look at him.

As Fluttershy laid the stallion on the couch she saw him as a pegasis with a red coat and a brown mane with red streaks in it. His cutie mark was covered partially with blood. As she noticed this she immediately began working on stopping the blood and wrapping it up. when she was finished she let him rest on the couch as she stayed up to make sure he was ok. It was after all 3 am by now.

I woke up in a house. I hoped that I didn't crash through somepony's roof, but as I stare at the ceiling I see no holes. I look to my side to find a sleeping mare next to me in a chair. I notice she was a pegasis with a yellow coat and a pink mane. Her cutie mark was of 3 butterflies. I pondered as to what they symbolized as I attempted to sit up, but I was then hit with a sharp pain in my back. I cringe as I slowly lay back down.

I then notice the mare starting to stir. As she opened her eyes I noticed they were blue and ... in a word beautiful. She notices that I am awake as I say to her "Well good morning sunshine". She then eeps and hides behind the chair she previously slept in.

I swiftly sit up to apologize for scaring her, but then the pain kicks in and forces me to grunt. She stares at me with concern in her eyes as she swiftly approaches me.

"Are you ok?" she asks as I lay back down.

"Yes, I'm sorry to scare you like that"

"Oh it's ok" she says as she check my wounds.

"Might I ask your name miss" I ask.

She then hides behind her mane as she utters in a barely audible whisper, "I'm Fluttershy"

"I'm sorry, I didn't quite catch that"

"I'm Fluttershy" she says a little louder just enough to where i can hear it.

"Well then Ms. Fluttershy I would like to thank you for your hospitality" I say as I begin to check myself for how bad of a shape i am in and just as I feared my wing is wrapped in a cloth very similar to one on my head and torso.

" Might I ask where the bathroom is so i can wash up?" I inquired. She then points to the stairs and says "First door on the right"

I then proceed to the shower and begin to wash off the blood that has dried on from last night.

Chapter 2: Complications

Fluttershy was still shaken from earlier. It had been 15 minutes since the stallion left for a shower and she had just now started to wake up the animals. It was 8 in the morning and Angel was getting fussy about having a late breakfast. Fluttershy had just finished waking the animals when she heard someone walking down the stairs.

As she looked at the stallion she noticed that his coat was not red but a shade of yellow very similar to hers and his mane was a pure golden color. His cutie mark was no longer covered and was revealed to be a falling star. The stallion looked at her and she noticed that his eyes were also golden as his mane.

She then realized that she was staring and quickly looked away as she blushed and began to make breakfast for all of the animals.

From our protagonist's POV

I began to descend the stairs and I felt much better and cleaner than before. As I approached the living room I noticed there were many animals running around. I then saw Fluttershy looking at me before she quickly looked away and began working on something. I slowly approached her as I thought of a way to thank her.

"Would you like me to assist you miss Fluttershy?" I asked

She looked at me with a look of shock and a slight mix of confusion. "Um ... s-sure ... if you don't mind" she stammered "just give these to the mice". She then handed me a small bowl of herbs and cheese. I then proceeded to find a mouse hole when suddenly a small white rabbit hopped in front of me. I smiled at it, patted its head and continued with my search.

As I explored the room I had previously slept in, I noticed just how many animals lived here. There were birdhouses everywhere and just as many squirrel, rabbit, and mouse holes. "How could one mare take care of so many animals by herself?" I wondered.

"So what's your name ... if you don't mind me asking?" The mare asked in a very quiet manner.

At this point I had found all the mouse holes and had fed the mice. I then realized I had forgotten my own name. "I can't remember actually" I proclaimed as I sat on the couch "Nor can i remember where I am from".

Fluttershy had turned toward me with a look of confusion with a slight mix of shock. "Well then what should I call you?" she inquired as she finished with the food for the rest of the animals.

I pondered this for a moment as I reached a conclusion. "I guess we need to make one up"

She looked to me with the same expression as before and then began to work on what I surmise as a pyramid of the most expensive food I had ever seen. "How about ... Fallen Star"

I smiled "Sounds good to me"

After she had finished her pyramid of food and gave it to the rabbit from before, (all of that for one rabbit!), she had decided to help me to get my memory back. She wasn't to keen on the idea of going around town with a pony she just met, but she was the only one who knew me so she had to help.

We were heading through town to meet someone called Twilight Sparkle, I thought I had heard that name before but I couldn't remember where. As we walked past a store that looked an awful lot like a gingerbread house, I was suddenly face to face with a pink mare.

"Um hi there" I greeted. She then let out a gasp that sounded both surprised and frightened as she went off in an unknown direction like a bullet.

"Who was that?" I asked the yellow mare hidden behind me.

"Oh ... that was Pinkie Pie" She explained "She's probably off to plan a party for you"

"What was that?"

"Nothing!" She quickly retorted

I decided to continue with our journey, but considering I had no idea where to go I patiently waited for Fluttershy to lead the way. She finally started moving at a decent pace when we passed a building that looked like a carousel at a carnival.

"Fluttershy!" Came a cheery voice from inside set building. It came from a white made with a poofy purple mane."It's good to see you out of the woods." She hugged Fluttershy as she then noticed the stallion travelling with her friend. "And who is this handsome stallion with you?"

" Good day madam, my name is Fallen Star" I proclaimed to the mysterious mare "Miss Fluttershy here was just helping me find my way around town"

" Oh what a gentlecolt" she flattered "My name is Rarity and might I say you two are an adorable couple"

We both blushed at this as Fluttershy said "Oh n-n-no I-I'm just helping him find Twilight"

"Oh? Well then, she went to Applejack's for the day so she is probably there" The mare said as she went back inside "If you need anything come look for me here"

We stood there stunned for a good 5 minutes before Fluttershy decided to break the silence.

"L-Lets go to Applejacks before anything else is said about us"

"Agreed" and with that we headed in an all new direction out of town.

Chapter 4: Fastest in Equestria?

View Online

We were heading down a dirt path to yet another unknown location to me. It had been awkwardly quiet the whole trip since Rarity's, so I decided to break the ice.

"So what town are we in" I asked the yellow mare beside me.

"We were in Ponyville but now we're headed to a place called Sweet Apple Acres" she explained.

I was prepared to ask her about her friends when I heard this high pitch shrieking sound. I looked around to try and find the source, but saw nothing. The sound then began to get louder as I heard a faint yell scream "Look out below!" I then looked to the source and saw a pegasis heading straight for Fluttershy.

On instinct I shoved Fluttershy out of the way just before the pegasis crashed into me. I was knocked back a good couple of feet before I realized that this pegasis had an unusual multicolor mane and a sky blue coat.

I stood up with the pegasis still on my back and proceeded to nudge her to make sure she was ok. She opened her eyes to see where she was as I smirked and said "Well good morning sunshine"

She immediately proceeded to get off me as she apologized "Sorry I kinda lost control during my last stunt". She then saw who I was with hiding behind a bush.

"So what's your name" inquired the pegasis.

"Fallen Star" I stated "and your's"

"I'm Rainbow Dash, fastest flyer in Equestria!" She proudly proclaimed. I chuckled at this statement as she glared at me. "You don't believe me?" She angrily asked.

I then looked her dead in the eyes and stated "There is always gonna be someone faster so don't claim anything until you are for sure". At this she stood there mouth agape as I then asked Fluttershy to lead the way to Sweet Apple Acres.

We walked 5 feet when I was stopped by a certain pegasis that did not seem happy. She glared at me and said "Race. Now." in a very serious tone.

"Where to." I state in a very calm tone.

She points to a tree in the distance "Around that tree and back"

I nodded as I asked Flutter shy to begin the count down.
"R-Ready. S-Set. G-G-GO!" We both blasted off at blinding speed.

From Rainbow's POV

She wasn't gonna let this stallion show her up. She would put him in his place for talking to her like that. As she heard "GO!" She flew faster than she ever had before almost causing a Sonic Rainboom at the very start. She had now rounded the tree and was on her way back. "I got this in the bag" she thought as she landed she shouted "So, who's the fastest in equsetria?"

"Not you" she heard as she looked to see Fallen Star sitting in a tree drinking some lemonade.

She couldn't believe what she saw. The closest place for a drink was Sweet Apple Acres and that was at least three times the distance between here and the tree.

She had been beaten at her own game and had great damage to her pride. The stallion then gave her a look of compassion and stated " Just so you know, I'm not the fastest either" and with that he left with Fluttershy toward Sweet Apple Acres.

Chapter 5: Even More introductions

As we headed down the path Fluttershy decided to ask a few questions to pass the time. "Where did you learn to fly like that!"

I shrugged, "It's just a natural talent I guess" I didn't get the logic behind it. (I guess Pinkie Pie isn't the only one who can disobey the laws of physics)

"And what did you mean when you said 'I'm not the fastest either'" She inquired.

I stopped in my tracks and remembered one of the few things I could. There was fire everywhere. Ponies were fleeing for their lives all around me. I was rushing to the factory to save someponies trapped inside. When I got inside though I was hit on the head and trapped by a falling beam. All I could hear was the roar of fire and ponies screaming.

"Nothing important" I lied. I didn't want to scare her with any memories that I happened to have. She apparently realized it was personal and decided to let it be for now.

Eventually we had made it to Sweet Apple Acres, where the key to my memory was located. As we passed the front gate, I heard loud thuds in the distance. Fluttershy then proceeded to the house next to the barn on the hill.

As we entered we were greeted by an elderly green mare with a gray mane showing how old she was. "Well howdy Fluttershy, how have you been"

"Fine and how are you today" asked Fluttershy.

"Pretty good considering Ah'm as old as the dirt you walk on" She chuckled

"Good day ma'am my name is Fallen Star" I introduced myself "And what should I call you"

"Ah'm Granny Smith, and you need to meet the rest of the family" She stated as she stood and started heading for the triangle hanging in a window. She rang the bell and shouted "SOUP'S ON"

Just then I heard someponies heading our way. I looked to the door and saw a young yellow filly with a red mane tied up with a pink bow and a large red stallion with a mane similar to mine fighting their way to be the first through the door. Just then an orange mare with a yellow mane and a Stetson shoved the two out of the way and entered. I chuckled at the comedic routine and fell silent as Granny Smith introduced the three.

"These here are my grandchildren who run the farm for me" she pointed at the filly, the stallion, and the mare in order. "Applebloom, Big Macintosh, and Applejack"

"Howdy" They said in unison.

"Nice to meet you all, I'm Fallen Star"

"We heard Twilight was here and came looking for her." Fluttershy explained as the three had suddenly realized her presence.

"Well Twilight just left for the library not to long ago." Stated Applejack.

"We must have missed her on our way here." I proclaimed as I began to leave. "Well it was nice meeting you all, but I must be off before it gets late."

They all awed in disappointment as Applebloom came up to me and asked "But aren't you gonna stay for supper". She was making these big soulful eyes that you would have to have a heart of stone to refuse.

I looked to the family and saw that they were all making the same eyes as Applebloom. (It looked kinda creepy on Big Macintosh) At that moment my stomach growled and I couldn't resist anymore. "Oh, alright"

They cheered as they sat me down at the table and prepare a feast of apple related dishes.

Chapter 6: The Truth

After the apple family had stuffed me I insisted that I had to leave. I thanked them as I left with Fluttershy. I was beginning to wonder why she stayed with me throughout the day and especially now at night. My train of thought was lost when we had reached the library.

I knocked loudly given that the inhabitants were probably about to go to bed. I heard groaning from behind the door as I stepped back to prepare for somepony to yell at me. When the door opened I was looking at a small purple dragon with green spine scales. "Can I help you?" he said groggily as I snapped out of my state of confusion.

"Yes, is there a Miss Twilight Sparkle here" I said looking past him into the library. All I could see was a staircase the kitchen and an owl flying down to see who it was. "Who?" said the nocturnal bird.

"Yeah, who are you?" said the now annoyed dragon.

"My name is Fallen Star and our mutual friend Fluttershy here told me that I should speak with her"

"Who" said the bird

"Twilight Sparkle"

"Who"

"Twilight" I said slightly annoyed

"Who"

"Twi- oh wait that's all you can say" I facehoofed as Fluttershy and the dragon began to chuckle.

"Don't worry, it happens to me all the time" said the dragon "Come on in. I'm Spike, nice to meet you"

We stepped inside as the bird went upstairs as if to fetch something. Moments later it came back followed by a lavender unicorn with a dark purple mane containing a unique pink streak. "You must be Twilight Sparkle" I presumed.

"That's me, and who are you?"

"I'm Fallen Star at least I am for now."

Twilight looked at me slightly confused as I explained the situation as to my identity and the days events. "Oh is that all. I can fix that easy." She assured as her horn began to glow. As the horn touched my head, a great flash appeared, knocking us both to opposite walls.

I shook my head to recover from the shock. I remembered nothing more from my past. "It didn't work" I muttered.

"That's weird, that never happened before" proclaimed the Unicorn on the opposite wall. "I don't think I did anything wrong. I'll have to look up that spell again, in the meantime where will you be staying."

I froze. I hadn't thought about that. "I'm not sure" I admitted.

Fluttershy then decided to speak up. "W-well you could always stay with me" She stated before she whispered "I-if you don't mind that is"

I smiled. "I would be happy to if it is ok with you" I said as she began to hide a blush behind her mane.

Twilight then smiled "Ok now that that's settled we should all be heading to bed" she said staring at the resting dragon on the couch.

I nodded as Fluttershy and I left the library for her cottage.

Chapter 7: A Good Night's Sleep

As we headed to the cottage I pondered as to why Fluttershy would have volunteered to give me a place to stay so willingly. Was it because of the fact that she found me and feels she has a responsibility to my well being? Or does she really ... No, it couldn't be.

We were approaching the cottage as I began to feel the weight of sleep beginning to overtake me. As Fluttershy opened the door we walked in to what would be the opposite of what I had hoped for.

"SURPRISE!!!!" exclaimed a bunch of ponies who were hidden behind furniture.

Fluttershy had jumped into my forehooves from the shock and clamped onto me on reflex. When she realized where she was she quickly began to hover and hide her blush behind her mane. I also blushed and proceeded to look at the intruders.

Suddenly out of nowhere a the pink pony from earlier today had appeared in front of me. "Hi I'm Pinkie Pie" she began "Isawyouearliertodayanddidn'trecogniseyouandifIdidn'trecogniseyouthenyoumusthavebeennewintownbecauseIknoweveryponyintownandifyouwerenewthatmeantyoudidn'thaveanyfriendsbutseeingyouholdFluttershylikethatIrealisenowthatyoualreadyhaveamarefriendanywayIdecidedtothrowyouaWelcometoPonyvillepartyandIgotalmosteveryoneinPonyvilletocomesonowyouhavelotsoffriends".

I barely followed any of that and decided to try and delay the party to another time because I was tired. "Listen miss Pinkie Pie I am flattered that you would do this for me but right now I am extreamely tired so if it isn't to much trouble could we delay the party to another time."

She began to frown when I mentioned how tired I was but perked right back up when I mentioned a later date. "Okie dokie lokie" She stated as she rounded everypony up and lead them outside.

"Finally a moment to rest" I thought as I plopped down on the couch and to my surprise I saw a yellow mare sleeping on the floor not far from the door. I smiled and proceeded to carry the mare to her room, tuck her in and kiss her goodnight as you would a child.

She smiled and looked comfy. As I left the room though I heard slight whimpering behind me. I looked to see her frowning and on the verge of tears. I then proceeded to lay next to her and stroke her mane. She settled down as I slowly fell asleep beside her.

Chapter 8: Fluttershy's Nightmare

View Online

Fluttershy had passed out before everyone had left her home. She tried to stay up to take care of her animals since she was gone all day, but sleep overcame her all the same and she began to dream.

She was in a field of flowers, surrounded by butterflies. She hadn't felt this happy since she got her cutie mark. The butterflies then began to lift her and carry her to an unknown location. She felt she was being lifted higher and higher until she had reached her old home in Cloudsdale.

When the butterflies had placed her in front of her house she smiled and thanked them for bringing her here. She then decided to check on her parents that were living there with her when she left.

She opened the door and found nothing inside except for a note. She picked up the note and began to read:

"Dear Fluttershy,

If you are reading this, you must have flown here to visit to your parents. However it is my job as coroner to inform you of the fact that they have been killed in a terrible fire at the factory. I could not find out where you lived so I decided to leave a note here where you could find it. I give you my sincerest apologies for having to let you no this way, but they are in a better place now.

Sincerely-Rotted Corpse aka The Coroner"

Fluttershy dropped the paper and burst into tears. She had never felt so miserable in all her life. She didn't have any brothers or sisters, so she was alone in the world.

Just then she felt a comforting hoof stroking her mane. She looked to see Fallen Star there with an apologetic gaze. "I'm so sorry."

At this she wrapped her arms around him and began to cry on his shoulder as he continued to stroke her mane. She then began to calm down and drift off into another dream.

Chapter 9: The Morning After

View Online

I had woken up early that morning, odd considering how tired I was last night, and to my surprise I felt a strange warmth around my torso. I looked down to see a yellow pegasis huddling close to me. I smiled at the precious moment and quietly left the bed without disturbing her.

I went downstairs to find the all of the animals asleep still. Then I had an idea, I went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast.

Later with Fluttershy

Fluttershy had just now woken up to the sound of birds chirping. Wait ... BIRDS! She sat right up in shock to see the birds outside going about their business. She was confused and looked at the clock. It was 9 AM. She then ran downstairs to make a late breakfast for the animals, but stopped when she saw that they were all eating.

"How could this be?" she wondered as a certain stallion had appeared out of the kitchen with a tray of waffles and orange juice with a decorative flower on it.

"Well good morning sunshine!" the stallion teased as he set the tray on the coffee table, "I was just going to bring you breakfast, sorry it took so long, but I wanted to do something nice for you, so I fed all of the animals and made breakfast for the two of us while you slept in"

Fluttershy couldn't believe what she was seeing, the animals were fed, her breakfast was ready and she had done nothing but sleep. It seemed as if her wish had come true.

She then felt a familiar tug on her leg as Angel was making gestures to his stomach as if he were hungry. " All except that one. He just wouldn't eat what I gave him, and I thought rabbits loved carrots" the stallion informed.

Fluttershy looked at him apologetically "I'm sorry. Angel just doesn't really like anyone who walks though that door except me" she said gesturing to the front door. "I'll get you something Angel honey"

As the mare entered the kitchen she was followed by the rabbit who quickly picked up a book and turned to a page that showed a very expensive looking dish of lettuce, carrots, tomatoes, cucumbers, and a cherry on top.

Fluttershy sighed as she then grabbed her saddle bag and bits. "Where are we going then" asked Fallen Star.

"I have to pick up some groceries for Angel's dish" she stated as she began for the front door. She was soon followed by the stallion whom had nothing better to do other than assist in the day's chores.

Chapter 10: Shopping with Fluttershy

View Online

As we wandered around the market searching for the ingredients for a certain bratty bunny's breakfast, I saw a familiar face behind a stand selling apples. "Well hey there Applejack" I waved to the mare as she recognized me.

"Howdy there Star, Mornin' Shy" the mare greeted, "What are y'all doin' here?"

"We're picking up some ingredients for Angel's breakfast" stated Fluttershy. "Do you know where Carrot Top is? I need some carrots for the dish."

Applejack pointed to her left "Third stall on the left that a way."

"Thank you" I nodded as I began to leave.

"By the way Star" the mare called "Big Mac has got himself hurt while workin' again, would you like to help out on the farm? I'll be payin' ya o' course"

I nodded "I"d be happy to help after the great meal you gave me yesterday" I was trying to think of a way to thank them and this seemed like a perfect time.

Applejack nodded "Come by tomorrow mornin' and we can get ya started"

With that Fluttershy and I left to get the carrots. The line was a bit long, so I had an idea. "Flutters why don't you hold our place in line while I get the rest of the ingredients.

She nodded and handed me a bag of bits as I left for the ingredients. I had already gotten the cucumbers and lettuce when I ran into Rainbow Dash. Well more like she flew into me from the sky again.

Again I had her on my back unconscious. This was getting old really fast, I poked her with a hoof to wake her up. As her eyes opened I uttered my catch phrase. "Well good morning sunshine" She quickly started to hover and .. was that a blush I saw. I then decided what to say to break the silence.

"So what brings you here" I stated as the pegasis suddenly remembered something.

"I was looking for you actually" Dash began "I wanted to apologize for losing my cool yesterday"

I held my hoof up to stop her "You have nothing to apologize for. I shouldn't have said that stuff and then proceed to embarrass you in front of Fluttershy."

"You were right though, I'm not the fastest in Equestria." the mare looked down in defeat and looked to be on the verge of tears before I said something to comfort her.

"Just so you know you are the fastest pony that I remember racing" It was the truth after all.

She looked up with glee in her eyes "Really?" her voice cracked from the excitement as I nodded.

"Work hard and maybe one day you can join the Wonderbolts." For some reason she shouted with joy at this and flew off to who knows where. I think I said the right thing there.

I had finished fetching the rest of the ingredients, minus one cherry, and decided to return to Fluttershy. To my dismay I found her at the end of the line still at the carrot stall.

"What happened?" I asked as she hid her face in shame.

"I-I let people go ahead of me."

I sighed "It's ok" I assured her "I already got most of the ingredients so I'll stay here with you for the rest"

She nodded and we continued to wait in line. Not much later two mares had decided to cut in front of us.

"Excuse me!" I said as the mares looked at me "We were here first"

One mare glared at me as she stated "Look I got a lot to do today so I need to get these carrots and move"

I began to get irritated. "Well my friend here has been waiting for the past two hours to get these carrots, so I think you can wait another two minutes to get them."

She then looked at Fluttershy and back to me as I maintained a scowl that would scare a cockatrice. They realized that I wasn't going to stand for it and decided to move to the back of the line.

"Th-thanks" Fluttershy stated as she looked up to me.

"Well no one should do that to such a beautiful mare" I proclaimed as Fluttershy began to blush.

As we finally got the carrots it was time to get the cherry. We went to the cherry stand to find only one cherry left. We rushed up to get the cherry before anypony else could. "How much for the cherry my friend?" I asked as the vendor pondered a price.

"Five bits" he said.

"FIVE BITS!" I was shocked "I COULD BUY A WHOLE BUSHEL OF CHERRIES IN CANTERLOT WITH FIVE BITS"

"Well this ain't Canterlot pal. Five bits" He stated while flexing his muscles to show that he wasn't one to mess with.

I saw this as an opportunity. "How about this, We hoofwreslte. If I win I get free cherries for a month from here, but if you win I will pay fifty bits per cherry for a month from here."

The shopkeeper chuckled "Make it a year and you got a deal" I nodded as we locked hooves over the table.

From the vendor's (Cherry Pit's) POV

Cherry Pit was sure he was gonna make a fortune off of this guy. He was an Earth pony after all, gifted in strength, while the customer was a pegasis, only great at flight.

As they locked hooves he tightened his grip to intimidate the pegasis into losing. The pegasis didn't seem to notice as he asked the mare beside him to start the count down.

"R-Ready, S-Set, G-G-GO!"

Upon the last word Cherry Pit went all out giving every last bit of his strength into winning. The pegasis however didn't seem to be putting any effort into the contest, he yawned even.

Cherry Pit couldn't believe it. How could he be losing to a pegasis. He won every contest of strength he ever took part in and yet here he was losing a simple hoofwrestle match with a pegasis.

Just then he felt his hoof crash through the counter top of the stall. He fell back in pain as he heard the stallion say "I guess you were all talk, I'll be leaving now".

With that the stallion took the cherry and left with the yellow mare. Cherry Pit had lost his pride and quite possibly his job.

From Fallen Star's POV

As I turned around I saw a crowd begin to cheer.

"Finally, someone put Pit in his place"

"Who is that mystery pegasis?"

"Is that Fluttershy's coltfriend?"

"He must be the strongest in Equestria"

I began to blush at all the compliments and from that third comment, "Thanks, but I'm not the strongest"

Everyone gasped at this new info as the vendor, whom I presume to be Pit, stood up and stared at me in shock "What? There's someone stronger."

I nodded as I began to leave with Fluttershy close beside me.

Chapter 11: History Repeats Itself

View Online

As we were walking back to the cottage, I noticed Fluttershy was eyeing me. She must have been wondering how I was stronger than Cherry Pit AND faster than Rainbow Dash. "I honestly have no idea how I got so strong Flutters, if I knew I would tell you."

"That's not exactly what I was wondering." she began "I'm wondering what you still remember from your past"

Again I froze thinking back to the only thing I remember. I had lifted the beam off of my back and started to limp towards the screaming ponies. As I approached I saw a stallion moving rubble off of a pile as if something, or somepony, was buried beneath it. I rushed to help him but was struck again by another falling beam. This time knocking me out. When I awoke I was falling.

Again I didn't want to scare her so I ensured her it was nothing, she wasn't buying it. By now we had made it back to the cottage, and inside we were not only greeted by the countless birds, squirrels, and mice, but also by a certain lavender unicorn.

"There you are!" she exclaimed as she then approached me. "I have been practicing my memory spell since you left last night and I think I got it now" her horn began to glow as she readied the spell as I put the groceries down, just in case history repeats itself.

Sure enough once her horn met my head the same flash as before appeared, throwing her to the wall and me out the currently open front door. I quickly started to hover to prevent falling on my flank as I then proceeded to check on the unicorn inside.

Twilight was currently unconscious on the floor, probably due to the combination of shock from the spell and fatigue from practicing all night. I gently nudged her as she slowly began to stir.

As her eyes fluttered open I uttered my favorite line in the world, "Well good morning sunshine", she then proceeded to look down in contemplation.

"How did it not work?" she muttered "I'm sure I did everything right, maybe the princess would know"

"The princess?" I questioned "I'm sure she is to busy to help a nopony like me to get his memory back."

"I'm sure she would assist you if Twilight asked" uttered the pegasis who had recovered from the shock of the flash and was preparing angel's what would now be lunch. "She is Celestia's student after all"

I was shocked by this newfound information. Twilight is the student of the princess! If she can actually get the princess to help I'm sure to get my memory back.

"You'd do that for me?" I asked

"Of course! What are friends for anyway" She smiled as she left.

The rest of the afternoon was uneventful. We fed the animals lunch and took them all out for a run to keep them healthy. A rabbit fell and we had to patch him up. That's about it.

When it was time for dinner I insisted that Fluttershy let me handle the animal food while she made dinner for herself. She agreed if she got to cook dinner for us both so she could thank me. That night I was prepared to sleep on the couch when Fluttershy stopped me.

"Um y-you don't have to sleep here" she then began to blush as she continued "Th-there's plenty of room in my bed w-with me." She hid behind her mane in embarrassment "I-if you don't mind that is. I-I just feel safer with you around"

I looked at her with confusion. Did she really trust me so much that she thought I wouldn't try anything with her, or was this a way to get me in bed with her so she could show her affection.

"Very well then" I agreed "It would definitely be more cozy than the couch"

She continued to blush as she walked up the steps as I soon followed.

As I reached the second floor I saw Fluttershy move into her room with a smile on her face that she thought I wouldn't notice. I followed suit and saw her on the bed waiting for me with a blush on her face redder than Big Macintosh's coat.

I crawled up next to her and held her close as I asked her "Feel safe now?"

She then blushed an even deeper shade of red as she whispered "Much safer now that your here"

She slowly moved her muzzle close to mine with her eyes closed. I took this as a confirmation of my suspicions as I did the same to her.

Then our lips met. It felt ... magical I think would be the best word, as our tongues became entangled in our mouths. When the kiss finally broke I looked at her when she stated in a very affectionate tone "I love you Fallen Star"

I was very happy to hear this as I then decided to kiss her once again. My tongue was dancing around hers for a few seconds before she decided to partake in the tongue tango. When we broke off again there was a thin strand of saliva between us as I stated "I love you too Fluttershy"

The night went on as we kissed and commited other acts of affection that I am sorry that I must censor them to keep the story its current rating, but that just means you get to use your imagination.

Chapter 12: Royal Intervention

The next morning I woke up to find myself once again in bed with Fluttershy cuddling me, only this time it was appropriate to have your mind in the gutter. I then remembered my promise to Applejack from yesterday as I looked at the clock. "10AM! I'M LATE!" I shouted startling the mare in bed and waking up the animals as I ran downstairs saying "SorryabouttherudewakeupcallbutIgottaflytoSweetAppleAcres.LoveyouFlutters!BYE!" Only to run back in, kiss Fluttershy on the cheek, and fly out the window.

Meanwhile with Fluttershy

The poor mare barely caught any of what Star had said, but she did get a kiss from him before he flew off to Sweet Apple Acres. She had looked at the clock and saw what time it was. 10AM! She had overslept again! She quickly flown downstairs to make a quick breakfast for the animals when she heard a knock at the door.

As she opened it a crack to see her lavender friend she quickly opened it the rest of the way to reveal that she was not alone. Standing right beside her was the alicorn princess herself, Princess Celestia.

"Hey Fluttershy." Greeted the unicorn, "Is Star here?"

FLuttershy shook her head, "He just left for Sweet Apple Acres. AJ asked him if he wanted to help on the farm and he agreed."

"Ok thanks, maybe we can catch him." Stated the unicorn as her horn lit up preparing for a spell.

The magic users were gone in a flash of light as Fluttershy continued with her breakfast preparation. "She actually got the princess to help." Thought the pegasis as she became very chipper "Now Star can get his memory back"

The pegasis then realized something. If he got his memory back, he would remember everything including his family. So he would leave to go see them. And what if he had a wife and kids, he would have cheated on her and would definitely lose her.

Fluttershy then began to tear up. "And if he does have a wife" thought the pegasis "then he would have to forget about me." Fluttershy then began to cry as the animals quickly approached her to try and comfort her.

Meanwhile with Fallen Star

I was so late! I was flying almost as fast as I had the day I raced Rainbow Dash. Once Sweet Apple Acres was in sight I screeched to a halt and started for a dive. As I nailed the landing I saw a flash of light appear in front of me.

When I had finally recovered my sight I saw Twilight and an alicorn with a pure white coat and a multi colored mane that seemed to be blowing in an imaginary wind. I presume this to be the princess as I bow. "Princess Celestia I presume"

The alicorn then raised a hoof "No need for formalities" she proclaimed "A friend of Twilight's is a friend of mine"

I then looked to the unicorn and mouthed a thank you to her. "Now" stated the princess "Twilight tells me that she has been having trouble with a certain memory spell on you." I nodded "Well lets see if I can fix that shall we" she said as her horn began to glow.

I was prepared to regain my memory. Finally! I was going to learn who I truly was. However as Celestia's horn touched my head a bright flash had appeared knocking us both farther than Twilight's ever had. Celestia had flown almost into the barn while I was currently dizzy upon hitting a tree.

"I don't get it" pondered the princess "It's almost as if you have forgotten no memories at all"

I stood there stunned. "No memories?" I asked "How is that even possible"

"I don't know but my sister and I will have to look into it" the alicorn stated with her horn aglow "In the meantime continue with your current life as you have been" she then teleported away with Twilight as I stood there still in shock.

"THERE YOU ARE!" Shouted an angry mare that I could only assume to be Applejack "Ah've been waitin' all day, now come on, we need to work twice as fast to make up for lost time" she then proceeded to guide me to where I was needed.

Chapter 13: A Day on the Farm

I would be putting it mildly if I said Applejack was not happy. She had immediately put me to work by making me buck the rest of the trees in the orchard. Lucky for me my strength had made apple-bucking easy and I had managed to set a new record for most trees bucked in a day, the previous one being Applejack's with 207, that is the other half of the reason Applejack was upset.

When I had finished with my work for the day I had actually made it to where the apple family would have more free time on their hooves. They had thanked me by feeding me yet another feast of apple related dishes and then I was heading back to Fluttershy's.

I had finally made it home. Home. Why did it feel so good to say that? Surely I had a home before... right?

Anyway I had finally made it home and proceeded to knock on the door. I heard somepony scrambling behind the door before it was opened and I was tackled to the ground by a pegasis hugging and kissing me like there was no tomorrow. "Well hello to you too Flutters" I said chuckling as I proceeded to kiss her back.

She then looked at me when I noticed dried tears on the side of her face. "Hey are you ok honey" I asked concerned for my marefriend.

Fluttershy then explained to me "I-I told the princess where you were when she came by and" she began to tear up again "And I thought that when you got your memory back if you would even love me anymore"

I looked at the mare and proceeded to stroke her mane and proceeded to comfort her "Now listen here" I said in a very stern tone "There is nothing, nothing in this world that could stop me loving you" as I then continued to comfort her.

She then began to hug me and began crying tears of joy I would presume as we stood there for the next hour before she fell asleep in my arms.

When all that was done I moved her to our bed and lay down beside her slowly drifting off into my own dream.

Chapter 14: Fallen Star's Dream

View Online

I was in a field. I couldn't recognize it as anywhere I had been before. "Why would I dream about being here" I wondered before a voice behind me had spoken.

"You didn't" explained the voice as bright flash appeared in front of me revealing a navy blue alicorn with a mane of night sky blue with stars in it. "I brought us here"

I stood there dumbstruck. This was Princess Luna, guardian of the night and ponies dreams. Wait. How did I recognize her. I was about to ask before she explained "Because I made you, my son"

"What?" I couldn't begin to comprehend what I was hearing. The princess had just called me her son. "How is that possible? You don't have a special somepony, how could you have made me?"

The princess chuckled as she slowly revealed the truth to my existence "At first I didn't understand it, but I shall try to explain it as simple as I can" she then cleared her throat as she prepared to unveil the most unbelievable story anypony has ever heard.

"A few nights ago one of the stars in my sky had disappeared. I couldn't figure out why until my sister had told me of you." I sat there eager for her to continue "when she told me about the spell being unable to return your memories, I understood why. You had no memories before that night." I still didn't understand so she decided to continue, "The reason you have no memories is because you had no mind during your previous life, you weren't even a pony at the time, you were a star, the very same star that disappeared that night, Regulus."

Upon hearing that name I realized that everything she had said was true. I was a star. "But" I began "How did I become a pony?"

The princess then proceeded to explain "Your name means prince in another language, therefore you are the prince of stars. When a filly makes a wish upon a star that wish is fulfilled but not in the way they think. Your strength and speed are from ponies wishes to be faster and stronger. One wish in particular was for you to protect a filly's family from all danger and the night you were transformed you went into a factory to help the filly's parents escape, but you failed." Upon hearing this I began to look down in shame. "Now you are unable to return to your previous form, however" She continued "The same pony made a wish upon you while you were falling and now you must fulfill her wish until her life comes to an end."

"What was her wish?" I asked almost afraid to hear it.

The princess then began to quote the wish word for word. "I wish that there was somepony here to help me with the animals, somepony who could help these darlings when I needed rest, somepony kind and caring, somepony who would always be there to help."

I recognized from the wish who it was, "Fluttershy?" she nodded.

The feeling of regret and rejoice hit me at the same time. I would spend the rest of my days with Fluttershy, but I am the reason her parents are dead. "Does she know about her parents?" I asked.

The princess shook her head "She has not received the note from the coroner yet, therefore she does not know about her parents demise"

Upon hearing this I sighed in relief. Luna then proceeded to exit as she said, "The morning shall arrive soon, you are free to tell Fluttershy and anypony else the truth about your identity and if they don't believe you, you can tell them to ask me. Farewell my little prince."

And with that I awoke to the smell of pancakes being made. I noticed the absence of the mare that was previously beside me the night before and made my way downstairs.

The animals were fed, including Angel, and Fluttershy was in the kitchen preparing breakfast for the two of us. I snuck up behind her and proceeded to put my hooves in front of her eyes and say "Guess who" .

She chuckled as she turned around and gave me a kiss. She then said to me "Well good morning sunshine" which made me chuckle in return.

"Hey that's my line" I joked as she got the plates out for serving the pancakes. As we ate I slowly remembered the dream from the previous night and the information I had received from the princess in it.

Fluttershy looked at me with concern. "I-is something wrong with the pancakes" she asked.

"Nonononono it's just that" I began as I proceeded to sigh "I had a dream last night that helped me remember my past and ... I think the rest of the gang should be here for the rest of this"

The mare nodded "Well I have to take care of the animals today so I'll meet up with you"

I agreed and headed out to prepare for the reveal of a life time.

Chapter 15: What Must Be Said?

It took a while to round the girls. Most of them were busy, but after telling them It was about my past they agreed to meet up. By the time we were all together it was almost nightfall.

We had met at Twilight's just as I had asked Fluttershy to this morning, only Flutters wasn't there. I began to grow worried as the hours went by, the others did to.

Finally Rainbow spoke up "Ok, Where's Fluttershy? She can't be that busy with the animals"

"Well, I'm sure she is on her way here right now" Rarity tried to reassure me , but to no avail.

"In the meantime" said Applejack "Why don't y'all tell us why you brought us here"

I sighed. "I may as well. I can always tell Flutters when I get back" I then began to explain everything about my dream and my identity from last night. The girls managed to keep an indifferent face the entire time until the end. When I finished they said nothing for a while.

After a good two minutes they all looked at me with varying gazes. Rainbow Dash then began to chuckle. "You seriously expect us to believe that story. It was just a dream dude."

I then went to Plan B on how to make them believe. "Twilight" I asked "Could you point out the star called Regulus in the sky for me"

The unicorn became puzzled "Sure" She then lead everyone to the balcony upstairs. "Now it should be right there" she pointed to an empty area in the sky.

The rest were puzzled while Twilight was in shock. "I don't get it" she said " I can't be wrong, It should be right there, but -"

"I'm not" I interrupted which caused them all to look at me. "Because I am right here right now"

They all stood in disbelief as they realized that my whole story was true. Then they all started bombarding me with questions"

"So that means your a prince of the night?" Asked a giddy Rarity "Which means that Fluttershy is your princess"

"That's why you were faster than me?" Asked the annoyed pegasis "Because I wished to be faster so much when I was little"

"Does this mean I can throw a Congratulations-For-Finding-Out-You're-Identity Party?" (I don't really need to say who this is do I?)

"I have so many questions about your life as a star" stated the lavender unicorn now preparing a quill and parchment.

"Does that mean that Fluttershy's parents are really..." Applejack asked which silenced everypony as I nodded.

They all gasped. I looked down in shame as it was my fault. They all saw this and formed a group hug around me.

"It's ok" assured Twilight "You did everything you could"

I did something that I wasn't sure I was capable of at that moment. I cried. "It's all my fault" I stated "If I was more careful I would have saved them."

"But if you had saved them" interrupted Pinkie "Then you wouldn't have met any of us"

I looked into their eyes which were filling with tears also. I smiled. "Your right" I stated "Now we should probably go tell Fluttershy"

They all nodded as we headed out to the cottage, where my beloved was waiting.

Or so I thought.

Chapter 16: Pit's Revenge

View Online

"Honey, I'm home" I said upon entering the cottage. As I looked inside though I saw that the living room was trashed. I was worried so I began searching the house frantically for Fluttershy. As I looked in her bedroom I saw a small white rabbit on the floor, bleeding.

"Angel!" The rabbit looked at me as I rushed to him. "Don't worry, I got you" I flew him to the bathroom and grabbed the first aid kit.

A few minutes later I had the rabbit wrapped up. When he opened his eyes I asked him "Where's Flutters" he pointed to the dresser upon which was a note. I picked it up and began reading:

"Dear Falling Star,

If you are reading this it means that you were in fact living at the same house as that mare and I was right. It also means that you are looking for that mare. Well you can stop because I have her now and if you ever want you to see her again, meet me in the Everfree Forest at midnight and we will fight. Come alone on time or we will kill her and you don't want that, do you?

Signed-Cherry Pit"

As soon as i finished reading I looked at the clock. 11:55. I then flew out of the open window, Tartarus bent on making Pit pay.

Later in the Everfree Forest

I landed in a clearing and waited the next two minutes for Pit and whoever he was gonna bring with him. I stood there with rage, fury, and aggression boiling me to the core.

Finally Pit arrived with five other ponies, two of which were holding Fluttershy hostage. "Well well well" said Pit "So you came for your girl did you"

My patience was wearing thin. "What do you want Pit" I asked

He laughed "Isn't it obvious" he stepped closer to me until he was right in my face "I want revenge" he then punched me harder than I expected "Revenge for embarrassing me in front of all of Ponyville, revenge for making me lose my job, and revenge for destroying my pride"

He then nodded to his gang "Kill him" I stood up before they came at me. Pit then glared at me "If you fight back, we'll kill her instead"

Just then I looked at Flutters. She had a look of fear in her eyes that made me forget all of my anger. I then lowered my stance and said "Go ahead"

One member of the gang charged at me getting ready to punch. I looked at him and prepared for impact.

Just then I heard a familiar voice in the sky. "Look out below" The gang looked around while I side stepped. The pony that was charging earlier was then hit by none other than Rainbow Dash.

"Don't ever mess with my friends" she said as the rest of the girls came out of the woods.

"I told you to come alone" Pit stated as I glared at him knowing what he was about to do. He nodded to the gang members hold Fluttershy "You know what to do"

They drew their blades and prepared to stab her, but they were stopped by a purple aura surrounding them. They were then levitated and thrown aside releasing Fluttershy who ran to her friends.

"There now that it's fair" I said as I flew at blinding speeds to knockout the gang members. I then stopped in front of Pit.

I then Punched Pit with more power than I knew I had, knocking him clear into a tree. He staggered as i approached him until I was right in his face. "And don't ever mess with me or my friends again"

Pit then looked at me with fear in his eyes as he proceeded to run in the opposite direction of Ponyville. His gang soon followed.

The girls cheered for my victory as I approached them. I then walked up to Flutters and asked "Are you ok?"

She nodded and hugged me as she began to cry. "I was so scared, I was feeding the animals and then these *sniff* these two stallions barged in and *hic* started trashing the place so I hid under the bed. Angel tried to make them go away but was knocked into a wall, so I rushed to him, but one of them grabbed me and took me away."

I placed a hoof on her back and began stroking her mane quietly shushing her and calming her down. "Let's go home, ok" She nodded as we all headed back to Ponyville.

Chapter 17: Orphaned

View Online

It's been a week since Pit has fled pony ville and things had gone back to normal. Well as normal as ponyville usually is. I was helping Flutters with the animals when she made a suggestion that froze me to the core.
"Star, can we go see my parents?" She asked in her soft tone almost whispering. I was almost afraid to agree to it but she looked at me with her pleading eyes. I couldn't say no to that face.
"Sure" I said which caused her to hug me tight.
"Oh thank you so much. I just can't wait for them to meet you." She said in a happier voice than I ever heard her speak in. I managed to smile despite knowing the truth about her parents. How was I gonna tell her?
Later that day
We were on the taxi to Cloudsdale. I still didn't tell her yet. She looked so excited for me to meet her parents. Should I tell her before we get there?
We had landed in front of a small house that seemed to have been well taken care of. Obviously to attract new inhabitants. We exited the cab. I payed the driver as he took off to continue his job. It was the moment of truth. Fluttershy would now find out about her parents.
From Fluttershy's POV
Fluttershy entered the house expecting to see her parents at the table in the dining room. All she saw there was a note.
She began to tremble upon remembering her dream. She approached the table and read the note:
"Dear Fluttershy,

If you are reading this, you must have flown here to visit to your parents. However it is my job as coroner to inform you of the fact that they have been killed in a terrible fire at the factory. I could not find out where you lived so I decided to leave a note here where you could find it. I give you my sincerest apologies for having to let you no this way, but they are in a better place now.

Sincerely-Rotted Corpse aka The Coroner"
Fluttershy fell to the floor and began weeping in despair. "I'm all alone" she thought "There is no one left"

Never had a more hopeless pegasis that ever walked on clouds existed at that moment. She cried so much that it would put Neighagra Falls to shame. She had lost everything at that moment.
She then felt a comforting hoof on her shoulder. She looked to see star holding her close as he said "I'm so sorry"
Fluttershy then hugged him tight realizing that she wasn't alone. She had Star there to comfort her when she needed him.
"Let's go home" said Fluttershy as they stood up and left the home.
To this day the only things that were left in that house is a crumpled note and a tear stained rug.

Chapter 18: Pegasis Tears

View Online

It's been three months since Flutters read the letter and she is finally starting to cope with the fact that her parents are dead. We had been going out for a while now and I think it is time that I proposed to her. Of course I'll need a ring, and I know just where to get one.

I entered the Carousel Boutique with the sound of a small bell following as I called out for the marshmallow unicorn. Soon after I heard her calling from upstairs for me to go to her.

Upon reaching her room, I noticed it was in absolute chaos. Rarity was frantically working on a dress but something was missing.

She had noticed my presence finally when I had moved one of her fabrics. She looked at me and smiled "Oh hello darling" she greeted as if I hadn't been standing there for five minutes, waiting. "To what do I owe your visit"

I told her about my wanting to propose to Flutter shy and she flipped out. She began giggling like a school filly as she hugged me. "Oh , I'm so happy for you two. First you need to get everything ready. Don't worry though, I'll take care of everything."

"Rarity" I said "How is it that you know exactly what people want" we smiled and I was prepared to leave before Rarity stopped me.
"Three things darling. One: You'll need a ring to propose, I'll take care of that. Two: You need to tell the others too about this beforehand."

I nodded as I asked "What's the third thing?"

She looked me dead in the eyes and told me "If you hurt Fluttershy, in any way, you had best learn to run and hide from the elements of harmony."

I gulped as I exited her room. I left the boutique swiftly and headed to the library to tell Twilight.

Later that day

Once I had reached the library, I found not only Twilight, but also the rest of her friends too. I swear unicorns must be psychic. They were all gathered for one of Rainbow's announcements apparently. Whatever, it sure made my mission easier.

Once inside I got an expected reaction.

"Star? What are you doing here?" Spoke the cyan pegasus.

I then proceeded to explain everything I previously spoke to Rarity. This time the reactions were varied.

"Well hot dog. I sure hope for the best for ya."

"Woohoo! OHMYGOSH!IGOTTAMAKEYOUACAKEFORTHEWEDDING!"

"You just better not hurt our Fluttershy, cause you won't be able to out fly me then."

"I'm sure you two will be very happy together."

I had never been more relieved and petrified in my entire life since then.

Until about an hour later...

Rarity had made the ring in an ubeliveable amount of time. Again she warned me of the consequences of ticking them off before I ran to my hopefully fiancé.

She was outside taking care of the animals when I had arrived.

"There you are" Fluttershy said gleefully.

"Hold on a second" I said causing her to stop in her tracks. I pulled out the box Rarity gave me and held it out as I got down on one knee.

"Fluttershy, you help me when I needed you, but I now see that I will always need you by my side. I can't bear to be separated from you. So I would be overjoyed if you would be my wife." I opened the box upon saying the last words to reveal to her the ring. A beautiful silver circlet with a sapphire jewel encrusted in it.

She held her hooves over her mouth in disbelief.

We looked over to the animals who were all making faces that said go for it. Even Angel was rooting for me this time.

She looked back to me and me to her. Our eyes met as I awaited her answer. Finally after a full three minutes she removed her hooves from her mouth to reveal a smile as she began crying. "Yes" was all it took for me to smile even wider than Pinkie Pie ever had as I jumped for joy and hugged her.

Who knew a star... no... a pony could feel so much joy.

Epilogue

"Well.. today's the day." I stood in the dressing room preparing my suit.

I was so nervous. I tried to straiten my tie but my hooves were so shaky that it just kept getting worse.

Finally my best man came to my aid. "Thanks Big Mac."

"Eeyup" he said not to enthusiastically.

I was to worried to notice though. "It's just that... I'm so worried that something would go wrong. What if the rings go missing. What if the cake gets ruined and the party turns into a disaster. Or what if another star falls in front of the church and she falls for him instead of me."

Big Mac hit me in the back of the head. "Thanks. I needed that."

There was a knock at the door. "Five minutes left" said Spike behind the door.

I was heading to the door nervously as the red stallion behind me grabbed my shoulder and told me. "Good luck champ"

I smiled at this as I nodded and took my place in the front.

As I stood there I began to look for familiar faces in the crowd. There was Twilight and what I would surmise as her family in the front row with princess Cadence and Shining Armor. Applejack and her family were next with Rainbow Dash and Rarity. Pinkie Pie sat in the next row with the Cakes. Beyond that were many ponies I would presume to have been invited by Pinkie herself. In the back sat the princess of the night Luna smiling at me.

Finally the music started playing. What followed next was the doors opening revealing a mare in a beautiful wedding dress approaching, guided by Angel Bunny in a little tuxedo, followed by Applebloom, Sweetiebelle, and Scootaloo as the flower girls. Angel gave her away to me as they approached the front and stopped in front of Celestia.

Celestia began the service "Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to join Fallen Star and Fluttershy in holy matrimony. If there is any pony who would object to this, speak now or forever hold your peace."

No pony answered, and in that moment I knew that this was meant to be. I finally relaxed as we began the vows.

"Do you, Fluttershy, take Fallen Star as your lawfully wedded husband to have and to hold in sickness and in health so long as you both shall live."

" I do" replied the made in white attire.

"And do you, Fallen Star, take Fluttershy as your lawfully wedded wife to have and to hold in sickness and in health so long as you both shall live"

I looked into her eyes and saw souch joy in them that it became unquestionable. "I do" I said with no regret.

"I now pronounce you man and wife. You may kiss the bride."

I removed Fluttershy's veil to see her in all her beauty. Our muzzles approached each other's as we locked lips, causing anduproar of hoof stomps and cheers.

From this moment on I knew that my life would be one worthwhile so long as I had this made by my side.
