           It has been at least fifteen minutes, and I still have Angel bunny in my arms. I am crying even harder now. “W-what are we going to do?!” I say between tears.  Angel just gave me a blank look. Of course, I know enough about Angel to know that a blank expression from him just means “I don't know and I don't care”. He then tries to hop away, but I grab him before he can get away. “Angel, shame on you! Ponyville has fallen into eternal chaos, and chaos is spreading ALL OVER EQUESTRIA! You can't just hop away from that!” I say, looking him in the eye. “Now listen to me. We need to find some way to stop this!” I stop crying as I stand up and look out the window. I turn around.“Isn't that right, Angel?!” I say, looking at him triumphantly. But then I drop to the floor again and start wailing. “HOW AM I, A WEAK LITTLE PONY, SUPPOSED TO SAVE ALL OF EQUESTRIA?!” I roll around on the floor and in my own tears. “Angel, lock the door! I Am never, EVER going out there again!” Angel rolls his eyes and points to a cookbook on the table. “... How are we going to get food, you ask?” I say to myself, translating Angel's 'sign language' in my mind.  “We can send the birds to go collect food every so often. Deal? Then lock the door, board it up, and let me roll around in my own sadness!” I sputter, covering my tear-filled eyes with my hooves. Angel slaps his head with his tiny paw. He then hops over to me and kicks my hoof as hard as he can. I lift my hooves up to look at angel. He then gives me a snap-out-of-it slap in the face. Stunned, I sit there for a moment. I look up at Angel, and turn my head to all the other animals. They are looking at me with worried expressions. I stand up and walk slowly toward my room. “I just need some rest. Maybe I'll know what to do when I wake up.” Of course, I don't actually believe that. When I get to my room, I collapse on my bed and immediately fall asleep. I open my eyes. I am in a hot air balloon. “Where am I?” I stutter. I look around. “....Angel?” Angel was controlling the hot air balloon... If he wasn't a rabbit, I would think he was a pirate. He had an eye patch! I Get up. “Angel, where are we?” I yell over the high winds. Angel doesn't react in any way. I hear a voice... That sounds kind of like ME!  I think to myself. No... It sounds stronger.  I turn in the direction the voice came from. It was someone with messy light-pink hair and a phoenix feather behind her ear. She is wearing knee-high boots with rubies that glisten in the sun. She has aqua eyes and yellow skin. She looks into the sun with a proud and determined expression. She has a bag laying next to her hoof. It is black and smooth... and has three pink butterflies on it. My cutie mark. She has my cutie mark, too. And I notice... that is me. She turns around and looks at me. “Fluttershy!” She yells. “Get a hold of yourself! Just think. If you don't fix this mess... who will!” I wake up, startled. I get out of bed immediately.  I slam open my closet door and throw things aside until I find a black bag with my cutie mark on it. I find a box of gems... my life's earnings. I throw it in the bag, then start packing.  Angel gets out of his bed and looks at me like I'm crazy. “Hey, Angel!” I say. “You'd best be packing. I don't know where we are going... but I'm going to stop this, if it takes my life!”
