Just a normal regular day working in the fields. Dustin thought to himself as he watered the corn fields. he looked up at the clear blue sky, the sun shining brightly right in his eyes. He smirked to himself as he happily trotted to work on the hen house. He went to his farm house found a toolbox and carried it in his mouth, still being happy. Dustin is an earth stallion, with a brown and white coat, his mane and tail were a dark shade of gold, with a black streak. He wore a hat, to cover his head from the sun. He was slim, not very buff but a hard worker, compared to the rest of the big buff stallions he knows in this country.
Dustin lives in the Outskirts Orchards of Ponyville. He gladly took this farmhouse because nopony would own it or go near it. Everypony thought the Orchards were haunted by the original owners, Dustin just laughed, and shook it off as a rumor and nothing more. As he neared the hen house, he pulled out a hammer and a few nails, and began to work on it. A few pounds with the hammer and the nails were already were going in the house. As Dustin continued to hammer at the nails, he stopped for a second, and looked up at the sky. He notice storm clouds were over head and coming in quickly, he dropped the hammer and nails inside the toolbox and trotted towards the barn.
As he put the toolbox down on the ground, Dustin then left the barn, closing the door behind him, and entered his farmhouse to prepare for the coming storm. Dustin got a few lanterns out on his dining room table in case power went out, he checked out the window again and this time he saw flashes of white in the sky. Looks like a really bad storm. Good thing nopony is out there during this time. I think. Dustin thought to himself as he sat in a chair and continued to watch the storm.
Soon, Dustin got bored and decided to make something to eat for himself. He looked in his cabinets and found a cans of beans, soups, and pastas. He took out two cans of soup, and put them on the counter. Next, he got a pot and filled it up with water. And finally, Dustin turned on the stove, he placed the pot of water on top. Now he had too wait for the water to boil, so he went to a pantry, and looked for a bowl. He opened the door to the pantry, and he found one, he closed the door, and he walked towards the dining room table and placed it on top of the wooden surface.
Dustin then walked back into the kitchen and opened a drawer containing silverware. He got a spoon, he closed the drawer, and walked back to the dining room table, placing the spoon near the bowl. He walked back into the kitchen to check the pot on the stove. The water was boiling, Dustin then opened a can of soup, and dumped all of the contents and the liquid into the pot. He grabbed the next can, and did the same thing. He got a wooden spoon, and began to stir the soup.
He continued to stir for five minutes, sometimes bringing the wooden spoon to his mouth, to taste the soup. He blew on the spoon gently then tasted the soup, it was very hot. Deciding to eat it early while it's hot, Dustin turned off the stove, and he carried the pot to the dining room table. He poured the soup into the bowl, careful that he doesn't over fill and spill it. As the bowl was full, Dustin walked back into the kitchen and put the pot on the back burner of the stove, leaving the wooden spoon in the pot.
He walked back out to the dining room and began to eat his soup all alone. He heard thunder rumble up above him as he continued to eat. Soon, the bowl was empty in front of him, he got up from the chair he sat on, picked up the bowl and spoon, and walked into the kitchen, and put the bowl and spoon in the sink. Nopony lived with him, so Dustin had the whole house to himself. He walked back to the chair and looked out the window again.
As he looked at the storm clouds, he noticed something black was in the sky, and coming down. He shrugged and said, "Just probably another pegasus flying and trying to control the weather." He looked at the black thing in the sky as it continued to descend further from the sky. Dustin the watched as the black thing dropped from the sky, and landed near the cornfields. He immediately got up from the chair, grabbed a blanket from the closet, dashed out of his house carrying the blanket with him, and ran towards the cornfields.
He ran and ran through the hard rain and soon he arrived at the cornfields. He looked down and saw a mud puddle crater, and in the crater was a black peagsus mare. Dustin had never seen a pegasus crash land before, he used a hoof and poked at the peagsus. She grunted and moaned a bit in pain, Dustin sighed in relief as he pulled the blanket off of his back and covered her up to keep her warm. He then went under the mare using his head, and lifted her onto his back, and he carried her all the way back to his farmhouse.
Dustin made it back to his farmhouse, after walking through the terrible storm with somepony on his back. He walked through the opened door he forgot to close. He then laid the peagsi mare from his back onto the couch, the blanket still covering her up. He then walked to the kitchen and got a rag and a bucket of water, and walked back towards the unexpected guest he had in his living room. He placed the bucket down quietly as he could, making sure not to wake up the guest or stranger. Dustin then put the rag down into the bucket of water, wrangling it, and began to clean and wash the mare's face from the mud, dirt, and tiny bits of grass.
As he cleaned her face, he noticed that her face was all black, her mane was a sky blue with a black streak in it. He said out loud, "She's beautiful." Then, just as he cleaned the rest of her face, the mare woke up. Dustin's eyes widen as saucers as he dropped backwards in shock. The mare looked around, checking her surroundings, then she spotted Dustin. The blanket flew off of her body, as she walked up towards the farmer ranch pony. "Can I help you with something?" Dustin asked, trying to start up a conversation. "Yes you can start by telling me where I am," The mare said, looking him straight in the eye.
"Well let me start by saying you're in my house on my land." Dustin replied, getting up form the floor. The mare looked around her surroundings again, she saw pictures of Dustin and only Dustin. Their were no family and friend photos to be seen anywhere, from the way she could tell. The mare looked at Dustin again, this time she apologized, "I'm sorry, I thought you were holding me as a prisoner."
"Now, why would I do that?" Dustin said, looking confused. The mare looked down at the ground, and replied, "I thought you might sell me off to somewhere, or worse take me to the middle of the Everfree Forest and leave me to die, or worser than that you hold me as prisoner for years and I can't leave you at all."
"I would do no such thing." Dustin said, reassuring the frightened mare.
"Really you wouldn't?!" The mare said, getting closer to Dustin's face.
"Really now can I ask you something?"
"Sure what is it?"
"What's you're name?"
"My name is...."
"Yes?"
"My name is....".
"Are you okay?"
"Yes I'm okay. I just can't remember my name."
"Can you fly?"
"I can fly?"
"Oh boy this is going to take a while."
"What's going to take long?"
"Nothing."
Dustin and the mare just stood there, looking back and forth at each then away. Dustin held his head low, thinking of the one thing he shouldn't ask, but he did anyway, "Would you like to stay here until you get your memories back?"
The mare looked at him again and a smile formed on her face as she hugged Dustin. She then said, "Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! You don't how much this means to me."
"You're welcome I guess."
"Now where would I be sleeping?"
"Um well."
"Hmm?"
"I never had a guest before so I guessing the guest bedroom that I have upstairs,"
"Okay. Can you show me where it is?"
"Yes."
Dustin led the way upstairs, the mare following closely behind him. He walked down the hallway, and came to a stop between two door ways, one on the left of him and one on the right. The mare looked at him, confused why he stopped. Dustin walked towards to the door on the right, opened it for the mare to step in. She walked in slowly, unsure if he was going to have his way with her. Dustin walked right behind her and walked past her, looking for the bed that was in the room. He found it, nicely made for any guest, the blanket was nice, comfy, and warm. He gestured a hoof at the mare to come over. She began walking slowly, making sure to run in case, as she neared the bed, Dustin uncovered the blankets for the mare to crawl in.
The mare jumped onto the bed, crawling towards the spot that was uncovered. As she crawled into the place, Dustin covered her up. "Is this comfortable for you?" He asked, in a reassuring voice. The mare nodded her head up and down, as she kept looking at Dustin. Dustin smiled a bit, then said, "I'll be in the room across from yours. If you need anything just wake me up and I get it for you."
"Okay. Thank you." The mare said, smiling.
"You're welcome."
As Dustin walked and and was about to leave the room, the mare spoke up, "I didn't get your name."
Dustin froze in place and said, "My name is Dustin."
The mare repeated his name over and over. Then she said, "Thank you Dustin."
"You're welcome." Dustin said, leaving the room, closing the door behind him.
Dustin walked towards his own bedroom, opened the door, and walked in, closing the door behind him. He walked towards his bed, removed his hat, letting his mane breath, and he laid down on his bed. He got under the covers, and before he knew it he closed his eyes, and drifted off to sleep.
