Falling Stars

Chapter 2: Complications

Fluttershy was still shaken from earlier. It had been 15 minutes since the stallion left for a shower and she had just now started to wake up the animals. It was 8 in the morning and Angel was getting fussy about having a late breakfast. Fluttershy had just finished waking the animals when she heard someone walking down the stairs.
As she looked at the stallion she noticed that his coat was not red but a shade of yellow very similar to hers and his mane was a pure golden color. His cutie mark was no longer covered and was revealed to be a falling star. The stallion looked at her and she noticed that his eyes were also golden as his mane.
She then realized that she was staring and quickly looked away as she blushed and began to make breakfast for all of the animals.
From our protagonist's POV
I began to descend the stairs and I felt much better and cleaner than before. As I approached the living room I noticed there were many animals running around. I then saw Fluttershy looking at me before she quickly looked away and began working on something. I slowly approached her as I thought of a way to thank her.
"Would you like me to assist you miss Fluttershy?" I asked
She looked at me with a look of shock and a slight mix of confusion. "Um ... s-sure ... if you don't mind" she stammered "just give these to the mice". She then handed me a small bowl of herbs and cheese. I then proceeded to find a mouse hole when suddenly a small white rabbit hopped in front of me. I smiled at it, patted its head and continued with my search.
As I explored the room I had previously slept in, I noticed just how many animals lived here. There were birdhouses everywhere and just as many squirrel, rabbit, and mouse holes. "How could one mare take care of so many animals by herself?" I wondered.
"So what's your name ... if you don't mind me asking?" The mare asked in a very quiet manner.
At this point I had found all the mouse holes and had fed the mice. I then realized I had forgotten my own name. "I can't remember actually" I proclaimed as I sat on the couch "Nor can i remember where I am from".
Fluttershy had turned toward me with a look of confusion with a slight mix of shock. "Well then what should I call you?" she inquired as she finished with the food for the rest of the animals.
I pondered this for a moment as I reached a conclusion. "I guess we need to make one up"
She looked to me with the same expression as before and then began to work on what I surmise as a pyramid of the most expensive food I had ever seen. "How about ... Fallen Star"
I smiled "Sounds good to me"
