"Where am I?" Thought a pony. "Who am I?"

Wind whipped at his face. He was falling, and preety darn high too. He could see a fuzzy image of the ground rushing to meet him. Instinct took over as his wings unfolded. To late. He hit the ground with a soft thud.

"Ungh!" He said as he rolled trough a field. Finnaly, after several seconds of spinning, he stood up in an apple orchard.

"Apples are the fruiting buds of the trees it grows in," He suddenly thought. "Once- wait, how did he know this? Why d-Owww" Cluthing his head at a sudden pain, he wandered off.

After the pain went away, he started to try remembering what had happened. He couldn't seem to remember who he was (or anything at all), but he did remember one thing: Pembroke. Who or what that might be evaded his thoughts. Suddenly, a noise brought him back to reality. It sounded like laghing.

"Oh hay!" He thought.

He dove for cover under some green things that his mind labeld "bushes." Two pairs of hooves walked passed where he was hiding. One was purple and the other was a orange. He heard the words "Spike", "Rarity", and "diary". This was followed by some gigling.

"Strange." He thought.

From what he heard the purple one was called "Twilight", and the other pony was called "Applejack."

"Applejack." He thought. For some reason he couldn't stop staring at her.

They were heading for a cluster of what he belived to be "houses." He decided it may be best to go there. Maybe someone would recognize him, and maybe tell him what "Pembroke" meant. As he troted over to the small town he noticed a pegasi flying to a cloud before landing on it.

"Pegusus live in clouds." He suddenly thought again. "Their bodies ha-. Okay this is getting spookey. Why am I just getting random thoughts poping in my head?!"

Finaly he reached the town where he saw the two ponies go. He noticed that everyone stared at him. Also, some ponies had wings and some had horns, but none had both like he did.

"Oh my gosh it's Celestia, no Luna who is it?!" Some one screamed.

"is it Celestia's cousin, you know Prince Blueblood!" Yelled another.

"Prince?" He asked dumbley.

"Isn't he single?" Someone interupted him.

Before he knew what was going on there was a mob around him. They were all trying to get a over to him, exept the one who asked if he was single, she was trying to scoot up next to him. Was this all because he had a horn and wings?

"Wait." Said someone. "Who is he!?"

"Is he another single prince?" The pony said again getting even closer to him as she bat her eyelashes at him.

"I-I don't remember." He said blankly. "I can't remember anything."

"Do you remember if you have a marefriend?" The pony asked again.

"Does anyone know who I am?" He asked ignoring the mare next to him.

Everyone either shook their heads or shruged. He sighed and tried to walked through the mob, but unfortuanatly, they wouldn't let him, so he just plowed through them. He wonderd if anyone did know him, or at the very least could tell him who he was, but he guessed that it wasn't going to happen. Why was there a viel over his brain, clouding his thoughts.

"Wait." Someone said interupting his thoughts.

He turned to see a pink pony troting over to him. At first he stood on gaurd, but...she seemed friendly enough.

"My name is Pinkie pie." She intoduced herself, but stoped short when she saw my horns and wings. "Umm, are you friends with prince blueblood?"

"Who is this prince guy everyone talking about?" He asked impathiently.

"Nevermind." She said. "Do you plan on staying?"

He sighed. "I don't know."

"Well, if you do stay you'll get a party!" She said with glee. "Follow me."

"Gwaah?!" He said as she draged him away.

...

"Who am I ?"

...

"Where am I?"

...

"Pembroke"

At that one word, his mind exploded with thoughts. He saw a dark vortex, a throne made of what appeard to be smoke, another grey alicorn with a darker pony. He was standing infront of the throne facing the other grey alicorn. Then, it smiled at him like when a young pony does something it knows it wrong. A dark vortex appeard above it and seem to engulf him. He screamed.

"Aaargh!" He yelled as he jolted upright.

He was in a small apartment that was given to him after that party Pinkie Pie threw him. Actually; they draged him to a 'Library', told him he was something called an Alicorn, then showed him how he could hide his horn with magic, but she still acted like it was a party. He streched and got out of bed. Maybe he would thank her. Where did she live again?

...

After asking for directions he was led to a place called "Sugercube Corner." As he walked in, his nose smelled probably the greatest smell in his life. The sweets dazled his senses, and his stomach grumbled. Suddenly she appeard from behind the counter.

"Hi." She said.

He turned to her and said hello as well but his attention instantly went back to the cakes he had been looking at. His stomack practicaly screamed for the soft spongey mass. She noticed this and smiled warmly.

"Would you like to sample some?" She asked

He nodded and followed her to the kitchen. There, she set up a small table and began giving his small slices from the sample section of the shelf. Each time he gobbled each one in one or two bites. Soon the sample section was reduced to crumbs. He burped in satisfaction.

She was speechless. He had eaten the entire cake like it was nothing. She thought she was the only pony who could do that.

"I don't want to do this." She thought. "But I just..."

"Hey!" She said. "Come back later and I'll give you a special treat!"

"Hmm?" He said. He had been busy licking the crumbs off his plate.

...

Later Prince (he gave himself that name since everyone thought he was one) walked into the bakery.

"Hello?" He called. The lights were either off, or dimmed. He heard a door open behind him, and saw Pinkie standing in a doorway. She waved for him to follow and disapeard into the kitchen.

"Alright." He thought as he walked onto the kitchen. "That was strange."

Suddenly he was grabbed from behind. He turned to see it was Pinkie herself, but something seemed wrong. She seemed like she was scared, why? Suddenly, she shoved him between her haunches.

"What in th-" he tried to say, but was cut off as his face was almost pushed inbetween her pink thighs. "What are you doing!? He yelled.

"I-I'm sorry..." She said. It seemed as though it was forced.

Prince strugled with all of his might, but he was simply to weak and lame (lame as in out of shape). Suddenly he got an idea. It was gonna suck, but it was the only way.

"I'm sorry about this." He said as he grited his teeth, focusing his thoughts. The pot on the shelf slowly rose in the air and floated over to where they were. He aimed. And then he let it fall on her head.

...

A few moments later he stumbled out of sugercube corner (taking his time to vomit into a bush), and headed into the woods to hide until things in ponyville cooled down. The forest was a beautiful at this time of day. He would make a note to make a joging trail next time.

"What was that?!" He thought as he heard a rustling sound.

He turned in the direction of the noise, but saw nothing. Maybe he was still shakey from earlier. Again, he heard it to his left... nothing. Then he heard the sound of hoofsteps behind him. He turned to see something strange. It looked like a pony but it had stripes.

"W-who are you?" He asked.

Its responce was blowing some glittery dust in his face. He recoiled and stumbled back. His eyelids were getting heavy. His sight went fuzzy.

"Not again." He said as the ground rushed to meet him.

...

In a dark place, something stirred. Its claws raked the floor, almost as if it was sharpening them. Further away, a form kept its distance from the creature as it started awaken. Finnaly, after it was satisfied at what he had seen, the form moved into another part of the space. With a stange luminescence filling this part, one could have seen that it was a pony, but not a regualt pony, but a grey alicorn.
