Without memories nor past

I was waiting on a chair and staring outside while the doctor had disappeared for the x-th time behind a door. I noticed that the sun was indicating late afternoon. 'I've spent all of my day here... I've got more important things to do... Wait... no I don't... I'm amne-'

“Your in perfect health, sir, except for your blood sugar, which is a little too low. You don't have anything that would cause amnesia, which means your lack of memories is due to a mental cause, and that means that I can't do anything for you, except advice you a good psychologist. I've already sent a message to the princess, she'll be here in a moment she said.

A few moments later, a pure white alicorn entered the room. Celestia directly turned to me: “I need to talk to talk to you. Would you please follow me into my private office ?”

“O-of course.”

After a short walk through the castle we arrived at the throne room, which was the only access to her study. There were two doors behind the throne.

“It's that my study's over there.” She nodded towards the left entrance. “The other is my sister's. I'll be there in a minute, I just have to check on something.”

I entered the relatively huge room. It wasn't that big, but it was still impressive for an office. The only two windows of the room let enough light in to annoy my eyes considering the white of the walls. On the desk stood a picture of a purple unicorn. 'Is that her daughter ? She looks a little too old to be her daughter, since the princess looks rather young. Maybe her sister ? Shouldn't she be a pega-unicorn too then ? No, as long as she has unicorn ancestors. Oh, I'd like to know the proper name of those “pega-unicorns.” Hmm I think I should ask somepo-'

“The unicorn on that picture is my prized student. Her special talent is magic. Now back to you; from what Doctor Royal Pains told me, your amnesia has nothing to do with your health. This means that it's a mental blockade of some sort. And that means that we have two choices, we either put you in a mental hospital, or I ask my sister Luna to help you to become lucid in your dreams and to find your blocked out memories. If you choose the former you will be locked in a room during the night and even if you succeed to get your memories back, you will have a huge bill to pay. If you choose the latter, you will live here in the castle, and the therapy will be much shorter.”

“I guess it it would be more beneficial to be treated here, but something intrigues me; how do you know I'm not lying and just pretending to be amnesiac to get a free lodgement and food ?”

“After 1700 years of existence, I can see if ponies are lying; even the most skilled ones can't fool me. Besides, you can't really fake a lack of cutie mark, and the doctor already checked if you had just put make up on that spot to cover it. Which means you really are amnesiac and you forgot your special talent.”

“Oh ! That's why he was rubbing my flank, I thought he was just being a colt cuddler...”

She facehoofed. “But wait, you said you were 1700 years old, but shouldn't you be, you know, dead ?”

“No, we alicorns are immune to natural death, but there are, however, some diseases that can kill the regular alicorns, but my sister and I are also immune to them, because we are the goddesses of the sun and moon.”

“And how can your sister assist me in my dreams ? Is that her special talent ?”

“No, her special talent is raising the moon every night, and mine is raising the sun. But since the night is hers, she can enter everypony's dreams, but never does so without asking, because it would be an intrusion into the concerned pony's privacy.”

“I see. But the first solution seems too good. There has to be a-” She cut me off before I could finish ; “Yes, there is a counterpart, but your doing is rather passive. I'll explain; you see, my sister Luna is very lonely, most ponies fear her. She used to try her best to get them to like her, but she eventually lost hope. She needs somepony else to talk to. Even if the first reason she will think you are there is that you need her help, and not vice-versa. I will come up with a reason why you can't just go to a mental hospital. You'll see tomorrow. Now, you need a room, don't you ?”

She returned into the throne room and talked to a guard; “Could you please assign a chamber in wing C to this colt here ?”

“Yes your highness.” He turned to me; “Please follow me, sir.”

I did as he suggested. “So, what's it like, to be royalty ?”

“I'm not royalty...”

“That's weird, because wing C is reserved for the highest social ranks.”

“Is it ? I don't know, maybe I was, before losing my memories. But how could princess Celestia know ?” After hours of discussion with that doctor, I had somehow assimilated how to talk about the princesses. “Anyway, I see you're not wearing the enchanted armour, unlike most guards, which is good, because this has been a pretty boring day so far, and I need somepony to talk to.”

“Yes, I don't like having my emotions stored away like that, especially since I can naturally control my emotions pretty well.”

We chit chatted a little bit more on the way to the 'royal' wing C. When I stepped inside the chamber the guard had shown me, I realised there was a bookcase and it was pretty full. 'I'll read a little bit until it's night. I hope I still remember how to read. Actually, yes, I've already read a few signs this morning on the streets.'

I randomly chose a book and looked at the title which read: “Changelings, who are they ?”

I decided to give it a try. I jumped on my bed and eagerly opened it. After two pages I was already fast asleep.

“Sister, why do you always think I am lonely ? I don't need this “amnesiac” I don't need his company.” I awoke at the sound of a voice passing next to my door.

“But I already told you, he needs your help. The ponies at the mental institution couldn't do anything for him.”

“FINE ! But I still am sure it is one of your tricks to get me some friends.”

At that the voices stopped and I drifted back to sleep.
