When The Stars Fall

"So who are you?" Twilight asked. It was the first time any of them had spoke after the timber wolves incident. The small filly halted and turned around.

"Sorry. I forgot you ponies like to know other ponies. I'm Nebula. Who are you?" Nebula said sheepishly. Twilight turned.

"I'm Twilight  Sparkle. This is Fluttershy, Rarity, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, and Applejack." Twilight said pointing at them. Nebula thoughtfully nodded.

"I have a question of my own. Why are you ponies in this forest?" Nebula questioned. Twilight hesitated then relented.

"Have you seen the stars falling from the sky?" Twilight said.

"Of course I have! Do you know the chaos it has been creating here! Half the creatures have gone into war!" Nebula shrieked. Rarity cringed at the filly's loudness. Twilight nodded.

"We are suppose to destroy what is doing it. We have a map to tell us where it might be." Twilight said. Nebula nodded. Then Twilight paused and stared at Nebula with a stare.

"Now what is a filly like you doing in a dangerous place like this? Do your parents know?"Twilight said intensely. Nebula twitched uncomfortably.

"I don't have any.." Nebula muttered quietly. Fluttershy gasped and Spike internally winced. That poor filly was in for it.

"How can you not have parents?!" Fluttershy shrieked half hysterical. Nebula coughed uncomfortably.

"I don't know. I grew up in this forest with no parents. I don't know why but I'm not going to question it." Nebula said matter of factly. Fluttershy fainted, in shock at the little pony's declaration. Spike chuckled and Twilight shushed him.

"Come on. If we are going to make it to my house by nightfall we have to get going now." Nebula snapped. Applejack gently woke Fluttershy and they started walking. Twilight clopped up next to Nebula.

"How did you get a house if no pony in Ponyville have heard of you?" Twilight asked. Nebula was quiet for a moment then answered.

"When I was old enough I figured that no pony would like me living here and they would take me to a orphanage or something so I built one myself. Took what felt like forever but I finally finished it." Nebula remarked. Twilight was shocked but after seeing what Applejack or Pinkie Pie might do she wasn't too shocked at the small filly.

"Wheee!" Pinkie Pie yelled. Twilight face hoofed and groaned. This was going to be a long trip.
