Well hello there. Not so often that I get a visitor this far in the woods. Who am I? We'll sit down and listen to my story, and you'll know everything about me. Please, make yourself comftorable. Well, it all began years ago, on a quiet night...

Fluttershy could not sleep. She had the feeling that something strange would happen. I wonder if this is what the Pinkie sense is like she thought. No, probably not. Doesn't change the fact that I can't sleep though. Fluttershy decided that the stars probably would calm her down, and walked outside. Being near the Everfree Forest was sometimes scary, but she knew it was the only way to check on the animals every day. As she walked out, Fluttershy noticed a strange star in the sky. It seemed to be a very, very dark shade of pirple, maybe even darker than black. How could any color be darker than black? She wondered, but she was snapped back to reality to the sound of something falling. She yelped in surprise as she realized the star was falling towards her. To her relief the star fell about 30feet from her, out in the open. Curiosity doing its job, she unable to resist the urge to see what exactly this 'star' was. She walked closer and noticed that the air seemed... darker around the crash area. It's just a trick of your eyes Fluttershy, nothing more she assured herself. She jumped back in surprise to see that the 'star' was not a thing, but a pony. A black stallion with grey hair? Silver hair? It was hard to tell in the dark. He seemed to be unconsious, but being the timid pony she was, she was still hesitant to approach him. After about ten minutes, she decided that he would not wake up soon and decided to carry him to her house. Of course, that was easier said than done. After about 30 minutes of frustration, she managed to, well, roll him to the guest room. I need to get more muscle, I don't want to go around dragging every unconsious pony she thought. But then again, how many knocked out pony can you meet? After some miracle, she lifted him onto the bed, and covered him with a blanket. I tell my friends about him tommorow thought Fluttershy, and, noticicing that the uneasy feeling was now gone went to her bed and fell instantly asleep. She was not, however, the only pony to see the star.

Twilight loved stargazing, and tonight was the first night of the month ehich was stargazing night.I wonder who made all the stars Twilight thought to herself. Abruptly she saw a dark glint in the sky. As she watched a star darker than Luna's mane came falling down and fell near the edge of everfree forest.

That star fell near Fluttershy's house. I hope that she'll be ok. Twilight yawned, and after making a mental note to visit Fluttershy tomorrow, went to bed.
