//------------------------------// // Chapter 15: What Must Be Said? // Story: Falling Stars // by guitarguyjoe //------------------------------// 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.
