//------------------------------// // Chapter 6: The Truth // Story: Falling Stars // by guitarguyjoe //------------------------------// After the apple family had stuffed me I insisted that I had to leave. I thanked them as I left with Fluttershy. I was beginning to wonder why she stayed with me throughout the day and especially now at night. My train of thought was lost when we had reached the library. I knocked loudly given that the inhabitants were probably about to go to bed. I heard groaning from behind the door as I stepped back to prepare for somepony to yell at me. When the door opened I was looking at a small purple dragon with green spine scales. "Can I help you?" he said groggily as I snapped out of my state of confusion. "Yes, is there a Miss Twilight Sparkle here" I said looking past him into the library. All I could see was a staircase the kitchen and an owl flying down to see who it was. "Who?" said the nocturnal bird. "Yeah, who are you?" said the now annoyed dragon. "My name is Fallen Star and our mutual friend Fluttershy here told me that I should speak with her" "Who" said the bird "Twilight Sparkle" "Who" "Twilight" I said slightly annoyed "Who" "Twi- oh wait that's all you can say" I facehoofed as Fluttershy and the dragon began to chuckle. "Don't worry, it happens to me all the time" said the dragon "Come on in. I'm Spike, nice to meet you" We stepped inside as the bird went upstairs as if to fetch something. Moments later it came back followed by a lavender unicorn with a dark purple mane containing a unique pink streak. "You must be Twilight Sparkle" I presumed. "That's me, and who are you?" "I'm Fallen Star at least I am for now." Twilight looked at me slightly confused as I explained the situation as to my identity and the days events. "Oh is that all. I can fix that easy." She assured as her horn began to glow. As the horn touched my head, a great flash appeared, knocking us both to opposite walls. I shook my head to recover from the shock. I remembered nothing more from my past. "It didn't work" I muttered. "That's weird, that never happened before" proclaimed the Unicorn on the opposite wall. "I don't think I did anything wrong. I'll have to look up that spell again, in the meantime where will you be staying." I froze. I hadn't thought about that. "I'm not sure" I admitted. Fluttershy then decided to speak up. "W-well you could always stay with me" She stated before she whispered "I-if you don't mind that is" I smiled. "I would be happy to if it is ok with you" I said as she began to hide a blush behind her mane. Twilight then smiled "Ok now that that's settled we should all be heading to bed" she said staring at the resting dragon on the couch. I nodded as Fluttershy and I left the library for her cottage.
