	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.
