It was early morning in ponyville. Spike woke up with a stretch and a yawn and walked downstairs. As he walked into the library he found a man sleeping on the floor. Spike walked up to him, not knowing what he was doing here. Spike poked him, amd gave him a little shove in order to wake him up. Unfortunatley when he woke up, chaos ensued.

"Ummm, hello? Are you awake?" Asked Spike

"Hmmmmm? What? Twilight?" Asked the man just as the man turned to look at Spike, he saw the unfamiliar creature and screamed aloud.

"No, wait! It's ok! I'm not going to hurt you!" Yelled Spike, but amongst his screaming the man heard nothing. He ran outside Twilights house and disappeared. Spike went upstairs and woke up Twilight. He told her what happened and the both ran outside to look for him. Eventually they found him hiding in a bush.

"Mister! It's ok, it's me Twilight! This is my friend Spike." Said Twilight

"F-f-f-f-friend?" He asked, shivering.

"Yeah! It's ok, he won't hurt you."

"O-o-o-o-ok then..." He said as he stepped out of the bush. Spike greeted him and, reluctantly, he smiled and said hello.

"Ok mister shall we continue or talk?" Said Twilight

""Sounds good to me."

"First we should get you a name, even of its temporary. I'm tired of calling you mister."

"Agreed, how do people name one another around here?"

"We'll it's usually based on what they're like. Like PinkyPie is Pink and likes desserts!"

"Well we don't know what I like, all I've done so far is wander around!"

"Well you're white... We could call you cloud? It could be the second part to your two part name if you want one like that."

"Sure! My name will be cloud for now. So... What do we do now? Said cloud, glad to finally have a name (even though it's temporary)

"I'll see if any books mention you, and you can go around ponyville and see if anything looks familiar. I'd start at Apple Acres. Here is a map."

"Ok then. I guess I'll be off! Thank you for all your help so far!"

"Bye!" Said Twilight and with that he was off to Apple Acres.

Later Cloud reached Apple Acres, a large farm where the Apple family lived. He was sent here in order to see if it sparked any memories of his past. When he arrived he found an orange colored pony kicking trees with her hind legs.

"Um, hello?" Said Cloud

"Well howdy! How are you this mighty fine day? Oh, I'm Applejack by the way." Said Applejack

"I'm fine thanks. I'm Cloud, I guess, I was wondering if I may have a tour of your farm?"

"Well sure! But what's the reason?" Cloud explained all that hd went on beforehand and told her why he was here.

"Well Ill be! A pony with No past, no name and no cutie mark! Never seen the likes of it before. Sure Ill give you a tour!" Said Applejack

"Thank you Applejack." Said Cloud. So Applejack gave Cloud a tour of the farm, with no memories regained.

"Hey big sis!" Cloud heard someone shout "Who's that you got there?"

"Hey Applebloom! This is a friend of mine who doesn't know who he is! He doesn't even have a cutie mark!" Yelled Applejack

As he was about to ask who he was yelling at he was tackled by 3 small ponies. One was a bright yellow with red hair, much like his own, an orange one with purple hair and wings, and one who was white with a light purple and pink mane.

"YOU DONT HAVE A CUTIE MARK?!?!" They all said in unison.

"No, I don't, actually. Who are you little ones?" Said Cloud

"We're the Cutie Mark Crusaders! I'm Applebloom, this is Scootaloo, and this is Sweetiebelle!"

At that moment Cloud felt something, and had felt a feeling of youth. He smiled at the kids knowing they had so much ahead of them. He tried to remember his own childhood, but couldn't seem to do so. Even so, the kids made him happy, something he hadn't been for a while. He talked to the kids for a little and thanked Applejack for her help. He then said he needed to go to his next location and see if he could find any memories there. He was off to a place marked on his map as Fluttershy's house.
