An Unexpected Trip

I followed after Pinkie and Twilight. Once again Pinkie was bouncing instead of walking, though this time she and Twilight were having a conversation about something. I wasn't really paying attention to them. I was too busy looking around as they led me through town. Most of the buildings looked pretty much the same, though I did spot a couple that looked different from the rest. Businesses I guessed.

"How ma-" I started to ask before I accidentally ran into Twilight's flank. I hadn't realized they had stopped and I took a quick step back, smiling apologetically. "Sorry 'bout that," I said to apologize when I realized she wasn't looking at me. She was looking up at the sky. I looked up as well, but only saw a small cloud hanging lazily in the sky.

"Rainbow Dash!" Twilight called out.

I looked back down at her to see that she was still looking up. At what I couldn't te-

"Oh, hey Twilight," came a voice I didn't recognize. I looked up again to see a blue pegasus with a rainbow colored mane peering over the edge of the cloud, which I now realized was a lot closer to the ground then I had previously thought.

"Can you come down here?" Twilight asked her. Rainbow Dash then jumped off of the cloud and dived down, pulling up and the last second and landing perfectly. I couldn't say I wasn't impressed, and a little confused on her she was on a cloud in the first place.

"What do you need?" She asked Twilight.

"Was she laying... on a cloud?" I asked, utterly confused. Then I felt rude for interrupting and stupid when Rainbow gave me a 'duh' look.

"Yeah. All pegasi can remember," she said, looking me over, "You should know that. You are a pegasus. Wait, who are you anyways?"

Thankfully Twilight decided to answer that question for me, "That's kind of why we came to find you. He can't remember who he is. I tried a spell, but for it to take effect he needs a shock of some sort."

"So you thought of me naturally," Rainbow said, looking rather smug, "I might have a few ideas. Actually...." She smiled suddenly before whispering something in Twilight and Pinkie's ears. They all nodded after a moment and the Rainbow Dash bolted into the air mere inches from my head, leaving my hair a little more blown back and messy then it already was.

"Where'd she fly off to?" I asked, glancing behind me.

"You'll see," was my only reply before there was a sudden flash. I stumbled back a little as my vision blurred. Then there was a loud crack, which made me jump, followed by my muscles tightening as electricity surged through my body.

After a few moments of being tense my muscles finally relax and I slump to the ground.

"Ow...." I managed. I looked up to see Rainbow Dash trying to hold back a laugh before failing and flopping back on a particularly dark cloud, laughing hard.

"Rainbow Dash!" I heard Twilight exclaim, "You were supposed to shock him, but not actually hit him with lightning."

After a moment of more laughter Rainbow showed back over the edge of the cloud.

"Oh, come on. How was I supposed to know he was going to jump in the way?" She asked before continuing, "Besides, maybe he needed that kind of shock." With that she flew down and hovered right in front of me at a rather uncomfortably close distance. I glanced away before looking back at her.

"Do you remember anything?" She asked me.

I thought for a moment, hard as it was with her staring me down like she was, but came up with nothing.

"No," I replied sadly.

Rainbow sighed and flew over to Twilight.

"I've got nothing."

"Well maybe Zecora can help," Twilight said before giving me a second look over, "Actually let's go see Rarity first."

Suddenly Pinkie jumped out of nowhere, making me jump again.

"Oh goodie! That'll be the perfect time to invite her for this afternoon's event!"

I was about to ask what she meant when there was another bright flash.
