	As we headed down the path Fluttershy decided to ask a few questions to pass the time. "Where did you learn to fly like that!"
I shrugged, "It's just a natural talent I guess" I didn't get the logic behind it. (I guess Pinkie Pie isn't the only one who can disobey the laws of physics)
"And what did you mean when you said 'I'm not the fastest either'" She inquired.
I stopped in my tracks and remembered one of the few things I could. There was fire everywhere. Ponies were fleeing for their lives all around me. I was rushing to the factory to save someponies trapped inside. When I got inside though I was hit on the head and trapped by a falling beam. All I could hear was the roar of fire and ponies screaming.
"Nothing important" I lied. I didn't want to scare her with any memories that I happened to have. She apparently realized it was personal and decided to let it be for now.
Eventually we had made it to Sweet Apple Acres, where the key to my memory was located. As we passed the front gate, I heard loud thuds in the distance. Fluttershy then proceeded to the house next to the barn on the hill.
As we entered we were greeted by an elderly green mare with a gray mane showing how old she was. "Well howdy Fluttershy, how have you been"
"Fine and how are you today" asked Fluttershy.
"Pretty good considering Ah'm as old as the dirt you walk on" She chuckled
"Good day ma'am my name is Fallen Star" I introduced myself "And what should I call you"
"Ah'm Granny Smith, and you need to meet the rest of the family" She stated as she stood and started heading for the triangle hanging in a window. She rang the bell and shouted "SOUP'S ON"
Just then I heard someponies heading our way. I looked to the door and saw a young yellow filly with a red mane tied up with a pink bow and a large red stallion with a mane similar to mine fighting their way to be the first through the door. Just then an orange mare with a yellow mane and a Stetson shoved the two out of the way and entered. I chuckled at the comedic routine and fell silent as Granny Smith introduced the three.
"These here are my grandchildren who run the farm for me" she pointed at the filly, the stallion, and the mare in order. "Applebloom, Big Macintosh, and Applejack"
"Howdy" They said in unison.
"Nice to meet you all, I'm Fallen Star"
"We heard Twilight was here and came looking for her." Fluttershy explained as the three had suddenly realized her presence.
"Well Twilight just left for the library not to long ago." Stated Applejack.
"We must have missed her on our way here." I proclaimed as I began to leave. "Well it was nice meeting you all, but I must be off before it gets late."
They all awed in disappointment as Applebloom came up to me and asked "But aren't you gonna stay for supper". She was making these big soulful eyes that you would have to have a heart of stone to refuse.
I looked to the family and saw that they were all making the same eyes as Applebloom. (It looked kinda creepy on Big Macintosh) At that moment my stomach growled and I couldn't resist anymore. "Oh, alright"
They cheered as they sat me down at the table and prepare a feast of apple related dishes.
