Prelude: How Pinkie Lost Her Memory
Prelude: How Pinkie Lost Her Memory
It was a sunny day in Ponyville with only a few white clouds out in the sky, and Pinkie Pie and Rainbow Dash had just finished their daily round of pranks. But now they had nothing to do. Pinkie Pie was blurting out random ideas, while Rainbow Dash declared that each one was stupid.
"Come on, Dashie," Pinkie Pie said, using the nickname she had given her friend. "I don't see why we can't go swimming."
"Swimming gets boring after a while, Pinkie," Rainbow responded, while trying to rack her brain for thing to do.
"I know, but it's not like we have anything better to do," Pinkie Pie said as she pushed her mind to think of the most funnest, awesomeness most radicalness idea ever. Suddenly it came to her. "We could play Truth or Dare?"
Rainbow Dash thought it over. "That idea is...so...AWESOME!" Rainbow Dash yelled and she did a flip in the air. "Can I go first?"
"Of course," Pinkie responded happily.
"All right, let's do this. Pinkie, truth or dare?" Rainbow Dash asked.
"Dare," Pinkie Pie answered.
"I dare you to......" Rainbow Dashed looked around. They were at the top of the hill that led straight to the lake. But since the hill was so steep, there was a stair case that made it a lot easier to get up and down. Rainbow Dash smiled. "I dare you to ride your unicycle down that stair case." She pointed to the stair case. "While juggling," Rainbow finished with a smirk.
Pinkie giggled. "That's easy, I bet I can ride that stair case with my eyes close."
"Your on," Rainbow Dash said, as she watched Pinkie Pie pull her unicycle, a blindfold, and five rubber balls, out of thin air. She didn't even questioned how Pinkie Pie did it. All she wanted to see was Pinkie doing, and completing the dare.
Pinkie put her unicycle on the railing of the stair case. "Can you hold this up for me please Dashie?"
"Sure," Rainbow Dash said, as she flew over to the stair case, and held up the unicycle. Pinkie Pie put on the blindfold. She jumped on the unicycle and began juggling.
"Can you give me a push, Dashie?" Pinkie Pie asked, as she balanced on her unicycle.
"Are you sure you want to do this?"
Pinkie Pie nodded. "Come on, we don't have all day."
"OK," Rainbow Dash said as she gave Pinkie Pie a gentle push. Pinkie Pie began to roll down the railing, slowly speeding up. Rainbow dash watched as Pinkie Pie sped down the railing, beginning to rapidly pick up speed now. But to Rainbow Dash's horror, Pinkie Pie hit a bump, which caused her to slip off the railing. Pinkie Pie began to fall down the stairs with screams of pain. Rainbow Dash winced as Pinkie landed on her head and a long narrow gash appeared across her forehead. Blood began to seep out of the wound. Rainbow snapped out of her trance and flew down the stairs so fast she almost performed a sonic rainbow. She managed to catch Pinkie Pie right before she hit the ground.
Rainbow Dash gently laid Pinkie on the ground. She nudged the pink earth pony with her hoof softly. "P-Pinkie, are y-you OK?" Rainbow asked though a steady steam of tears.
There was no answer. "PINKIE PIE!" Rainbow screamed this time, drawing the attention of nearby ponies.
Again, there was no answer. Rainbow Dash picked up Pinkie Pie and put her on her back. As soon as Rainbow Dash was sure that Pinkie would not fall off, she took off into the sky. Rainbow Dash flew faster then she ever had before and did i fact perform a sonic rainboom on the way to the hospital.
'I have to get Pinkie to the hospital.' Rainow thought. 'Before its to late.'

It was a couple hours after Rainbow Dash had arrived at the hospital. She had called all her friends, and told them what happened. Twilight was pacing nervously around the room, while Applejack was siting in a chair with her hat off mumbling something softly. Rarity was siting in the corner of the room, looking like she was about faint. And Fluttershy was siting next to Applejack. Fluttershy had only just been able to stop crying, but was still shaking slightly. As for Rainbow Dash, she was lying on the floor in the middle of the room, small pool of tears lay on the floor where she had been crying, drenching one side of her face.
Finally, when the doctor came in, they all stood up. Some more slowly than others.
He cleared his throat. "Hello I am Doctor Whooves," He said. "I'm sure your all very worried about Pinkie Pie. But I assure you she's fine. The worst she has is a sprained foreleg and a few scraps and bruises." He paused for a moment, as he look at his clip broad. "She also has a pretty nasty cut on her head, but we wrapped it up. So she should be fine," Whooves finished with a smile.
Fluttetshy stood up. "Oh, I'm so glad she's okay, we've all been so worried," she said quietly.
Doctor Whooves cleared his throat once again. "If you want one of you can stay at the hospital overnight with Pinkie Pie. After all, you're all like family to her."
Rainbow Dash stomped her hoof. "I'm staying!"
"Excuse me?" Everypony turned around and saw Nurse Tenderheart.
"Yes, Nurse Tenderheat?" asked Dr Whooves.
"I need to talk to you before you make any decisions," Nurse Tenderheart said. Everypony looked like they were getting ready to jump out of there seats. "Alone," she added.
Everypony nodded, knowing that arguing would fail. Dr Whooves and Nurse Tenderheart both went into a nearby office.
"What is this all about, Pinkie Pie is fine," Doctor Whooves said, taping his hoof, a bit frustrated.
"Pinkie, is awake," Nurse Tenderheart said slowly.
Doctor Whooves had a surprise look on his face. "She is? That's great! I didn't expect her to be awake so early. I thought she would sleep for a least a couple more hours," he said excitedly.
"I did too," Nurse Tenderheart said. "but somethings wrong, when she woke up she was really confused."
"I'm sure she would be confuse, I would be to if I had hit my head that hard," Doctor Whooves said with a chuckle, still happy Pinkie was already awake.
"You don't understand, she's not herself," Tenderheart said quickly.
"What do you mean?" Doctor Whooves asked, worry replacing his excitement,
"She's not as jumpy and random as she usually is," Nurse Tenderhearted said. "she hasn't even asked for a lollipop yet."
"That is out of character for Pinkie, I will have a look." Doctor Whooves led Nurse Tenderheart out of the room. They walked up two flights of stairs, up to Pinkie Pie's room. When they entered the room, Doctor Whooves could see what Nurse Tenderheart meant. Pinkie Pie was sitting in a chair, but her usual curly, poofy hair, looked like it had been deflated. There were still a few curls at the ends, but other then that her hair was straight. There was also something else weird about Pinkie, she had a frown on her face. She had a frown on her face?

BTW, I did my research on amnesia. All the side affects in this story are true.
