It was a dark, but pleasant night in Fluttershy's cottage. Fluttershy was just gonna prepare one of her best dinners for her animal friends before she went to bed for the night, and everyone got what they needed. But not everyone got exactly what they wanted. As usual, Fluttershy's right hoof rabbit, Angel, refused to eat his carrot in exchange for his favorite salad. Usually, the pegasus would just give into her pet's demands and just go shopping for the ingredients for the salad, but after plenty of lessons on being assertive, Fluttershy convinced Angel to eat the darn carrot, much to his annoyance.

Once Fluttershy went upstairs into bed, Angel finally had some time to himself, and his reflections made him crankier than usual. Not only did he not get his favorite salad, but his owner's too assertive. It's times like this that Angel realized that he didn't want to be a pet to her anymore. Angel thought to himself and realized one thing. Why can't Angel live without Fluttershy? Angel knows that it's her cutie mark that's giving her the abilities to befriend the animals, but that doesn't give her authority over any of them.

And it was at this moment Angel knew what he had to do. Angel got up, wrote a letter to Fluttershy (despite his terrible handwriting), packed his things, and left the cottage. The night was long, and dark. Angel wandered round the outside world and he saw the beauty in the nature Fluttershy adores. As Angel stared into the night sky, he never realized how...boring it was. 

Angel kept asking himself where the danger was, as he realized running away from home would not be as exiting as he thought. He decided to call it a night as he found a nearby hole and slept in it. That was probably either the most exiting choice he could have made, or the dumbest thing he's ever gonna do.

When he woke up, he found himself in a cool metal cage with a whole bunch of other...animals? Angel looked around to see where he was. He peered into the cage next to him, and squeaked a question to what appeared to be a green puffin of some sorts next to him. The puffin turned around to reveal it wasn't a puffin at all. It's alien, yet adorable look, had Angel falling backwards from shock. The creature screeched a response to Angel, revealing itself as a Porg. Angel was surprised by the sheer fact he could understand his new Porg friend.

Apparently, Angel and a whole bunch of critters were taken by a smuggler and are being transported to a hutt to become pets, or worse, food. After realizing he might be a pet again, Angel exploded in a fit of rage and squeaked and hopped around in his cage like nobody's business. Suddenly, the door opened, revealing the smuggler that captured the critters. He looked like an anthropomorphic version of Angel's self, except with green fur, a red and white space suit, and a golden blaster gun inside a holster.

"OK, what's going on in here?" The smuggler asked the critters. Angel was just about to ask the same thing to whoever that was.
