Prologue
Adventures of Cloudy Joy
By Jetflame
“Oh, my head... What the buck happened to me?” Cloudy Joy said to herself, putting a hoof to her head. She pulled it away and took notice of the the blood on her hoof.
Well, that explains why my head hurts. What happened? I can't seem to remember how I got here... did I crash? Cloudy took a look at her wings and noticed that they looked fine, give or take a few out-of-place feathers. “I'll need to preen when I get a chance,” she muttered.
I think I should get going and try to find some help. I hope I can find a town or hospital nearby. Cloudy Joy looked around and noticed that her saddlebags were missing. Oh boy, that isn’t good. I probably got robbed; that could explain the head trauma I seem to have. But why don’t I remember anything? I don’t even know where I was going or where I came from. Gah! This is so frustrating.
Gathering her thoughts, she stood up and started to walk, stumbling slightly every few steps. I need to find some help. I sure hope there is a town nearby. Still disoriented, she continued walking unsteadily on her hooves.
Twilight Sparkle was coming out of ‘Quills & Sofas’ when she saw a white pegasus with a teal and cyan mane call out for help and promptly collapse in the middle of town. Twilight quickly galloped to the fallen pegasus, and upon closer inspection, noticed that her head was bleeding, and was most likely suffering from head trauma.
She levitated the pegasus onto her back and teleported herself and the unconscious pony to Ponyville General Hospital. Upon arriving at the hospital, Twilight talked to Nurse Redheart, giving her as much information as she knew of what happened, which, in all honesty, wasn’t much at all. All she could tell her was that this pony collapsed in town after calling for help and went unconscious. Twilight told Redheart that she wished to be informed the moment that this pony woke up, telling her that she wished to question the pony to find out what happened to her.
Cloudy Joy groaned as she returned to consciousness, disoriented and unsure where she was. Looking around, she noticed a surprised nurse, who was now looking at her.
“Ah, you're awake!” exclaimed the nurse. “My name is Nurse Redheart. Your doctor is Doctor Stable. He will be here in a moment to check on you. Whats your name?” asked Nurse Redheart.
“My name is Cloudy Joy. Um... Where am I?”
“Ah, you're in Ponyville General Hospital,” said Nurse Redheart. “You had some head trauma and fell unconscious in Ponyville. Princess Twilight teleported you here and wished to speak with you when you came to. If you’ll excuse me for a moment, I'll be right back,” Redheart said as she left the room.
Cloudy was confused and worried. She didn’t know where she was from and where she was going; not to mention she could not recall what happened to her. Redheart soon returned to the room with a violet Alicorn.
“Here we are!” said Redheart. “Let me introduce you to Cloudy Joy. Cloudy, this is Princess Twilight Sparkle.”
Twilight shot Redheart a look.
“Greetings, Ms. Joy. As Nurse Redheart said, my name is Twilight Sparkle. Can you tell me what happened to you?” she asked.
Cloudy Joy shook her head. “I can't remember what happened to me. All I know is that I woke up in a forest area with a splitting headache, messed up feathers and my saddlebags were missing,” said Cloudy.
“Sounds like you got assaulted by somepony,” said Twilight. “Do you know where you were going or coming from?”
“No,” Cloudy replied..
“It sounds like you're suffering from amnesia,” said Doctor Stables as he came into the room. He had Cloudy’s chart in his magic, making notations on it as he came to her bedside. “Lets have a look.”
“Princess,” Dr. Stables said, addressing Twilight, “Would you be so kind as to wait outside the room for a moment while I examine Miss…”
“Cloudy Joy,” Nurse Redheart supplied.
“...Miss Joy.” Dr. Stables finished.
“Of course, Doctor,” said Twilight. “Please keep me informed of her condition,” asked Twilight as she made for the door. “Her injuries happened near Ponyville, and I want to know as much as possible on what happened. If she remembers anything while you're examining her, let me know.”
“Of course, your Majesty,” said Dr. Stables. “Miss Joy, do you know where you got these injuries?” asked Dr. Stables.
“No,” Cloudy Joy said. “And please, call me Cloudy.”
“Very well, Cloudy,” said Dr. Stables. “Do you know where you first woke up at?”
Cloudy took a deep breath and let it out slowly. “I awoke in an area filled with trees. I had splitting headache. I also had blood on my forehead. I looked around to see if I could find my exact location, but I found that I didn't recognize anything. My saddlebags were missing, my feathers were messed up, and I was sore all over, but I knew I needed help, so I got up and just started walking. I remember calling for help when I finally got to town, and then waking up here after that.”
“I see,” said Dr. Stables. “Looks like Whitetail Woods was the location of the attack. Where were you sore?” he asked.
“Well, besides my head, my wings ached, as well as my hindquarters,” said Cloudy.
“Your hindquarters… alright,” Dr. Stables said. “Nurse Redheart, please get me a rape kit and a pregnancy test, stat.”
“Right away, Doctor,” replied Nurse Redheart, rushing out of the room to get the required tests.
Cloudy Joy’s eyes went wide as she heard this. She turned to Dr. Stables with a fearful expression. “Dr. Stables,” she started, “Are you telling me I was raped...?”
“It’s a possibility, Cloudy... I'm not going to take any chances, so I'm going to take a sample and do a test to be on the safe side, as well as an examination when Nurse Redheart gets back to see if you have had any sexual intercourse recently. Do you know if you have had sex?” Dr. Stable asked.
“No, I'm a virgin, Doctor,” Cloudy said.
“Hmm… You seem to remember certain things about yourself, Ms. Joy. Amnesia can be a tricky thing. Do you remember where you're from?” he asked.
“No… and I can’t even remember where I was going,” replied Cloudy as Nurse Redheart returned to the room.
“Thank you, Nurse Redheart.” Dr. Stables turned to Cloudy. “Okay, Cloudy. I need you to relax and place your rear hooves here so that I can do the examination and take the samples, as well as do the pregnancy test. Nurse Redheart, please let Twilight back in and inform her of what may have happened to Cloudy, please.”
“Right away, Doctor,” Nurse Redheart replied, heading for the hallway.
“Twilight?” Redheart asks, “Will you come in here for a moment? Dr. Stables thinks it’s a possibility that Ms. Joy was raped in the assault, and that it looks like it happened in the Whitetail woods. Dr. Stables is examining her to see if she was indeed raped. According to Cloudy, she's a virgin so if there is any indication that she has had sex, she was raped. A pregnancy test will be taken, as well as a rape test.”
Twilight looked angry and even more determined to get to the bottom of what happened to Cloudy. She walked over to Cloudy's bedside to comfort her. “I will help her out in any way possible. I'll also be informing the Princesses about this and have her send some Royal Guards down here.”
“I'm... sorry to say that you have indeed been raped, Miss Joy. I'll be doing the pregnancy test now to see if you are pregnant because of this.”
Cloudy began to cry upon hearing this from the doctor.
Twilight hugged Cloudy in an effort comfort her. “Shhh, we will get to the bottom of this, and I will help you in any way I can.
“Nurse Redheart, tell the Lab that I want this test done ASAP please, and get me the results afterward?” asked Dr. Stable.
“Of course, Doctor,” replied Redheart as she trotted from the room.
“Doctor, do you have a piece of parchment that I could use to write a letter to Princess Celestia?” asked Twilight.
“Certainly, Princess,” says Dr. Stable as he hands Twilight a piece of parchment and a quill.
Dear Princess Celestia,
I'm writing you to inform you that a pegasus named Cloudy Joy stumbled into town from the Whitetail Woods with head trauma. She is currently in Ponyville General Hospital. She has been assaulted, raped, and her personal belongings are also missing. It appears that she was robbed in the process and was left in the woods, unconscious and bleeding from the head wound she was given. When she came to, she stumbled into Ponyville, where she called for help, and I witnessed her collapse soon after. I teleported her to the hospital as soon as I could. Evidently, she is suffering from amnesia as well, as she has no idea where she was heading or where she was coming from. I'm requesting a squad of Royal Guards to be placed at my disposal to investigate this case. I could really use your guidance and your advice, Princess.
Your Faithful Student,
Princess Twilight Sparkle
Twenty minutes later, Nurse Redheart returned with the test results and handed them to Dr. Stables. He looked over the results for a moment and gave Cloudy a warm smile. “The test results came back, and they were negative. You are not pregnant, Cloudy.”
Cloudy gave a sigh of relief. “That's a load off my mind I don’t know what I would do if I was pregnant!”
Three day's later, Cloudy Joy was sitting up in her bed in the hospital when Twilight entered the room.
“How are you doing today, Cloudy?” asked Twilight.
“I'm doing alright, I guess. I started to remember some things. I still don't know exactly what happened to me, but I remembered that I live in Cloudsdale, but was being transferred to the Ponyville weather team. I was on my way here when I was attacked. I don't know if I was attacked on the ground, or if it started when I was in flight. I have a habit of learning the area around me from both the air and the ground, so it’s possible that I landed to check the area out when the attack happened.”
“I'll be sure to inform the weather team manager of your condition and that you are in the hospital due to being assaulted when you were on the way here,” said Twilight. “Thanks for informing me of this. I’m glad to hear that some of your memory is coming back. I’m sure the weather team captain and manager will be stopping by after I tell them where you are.”
“Thanks you, Twilight. It’s been three days, and I don't want them thinking I was being neglectful with my duties as a weather pony. Um.... Could you tell me who the manager and captain of the weather team is? I don’t want to be ignorant of who I'm talking to when they show up.”
“Sure! Her name is Raindrops. She took over after Rainbow Dash became the captain of my personal Guard. Rainbow still helps out from time to time when she's bored or not so busy,” said Twilight.
“Raindrops is a very understanding mare when it comes down to it. She may be a little upset when I tell her what happened to you, and that we are investigating what happened to find the ponies responsible for the assault and rape.” As Twilight finished speaking, a rainbow maned pegasus in guard armor knocked on the door, gaining Cloudy and Twilight's attention.
“Ah, speaking of the Captain…” Twilight waved her over. “Rainbow Dash, how goes the search of the woods?”
“We found the site Ms. Joy spoke of when she woke up after the assault. We spread out and located her saddlebags and some other personal effects,” said Dash as she lifted up Cloudy's Saddle bags.
“Oh, thank goodness!” exclaimed Cloudy as she looked at her bags being held by Rainbow Dash. “I wasn't sure what I was going to do without my things. I don't suppose you found my bit pouch did you?”
“My apologies, ma'am. We didn't find the pouch. We assumed that the ponies who assaulted you took it after they went through your bags to see what you were carrying,” said Rainbow.
“Rainbow, I have a favor to ask you,” said Twilight. “Cloudy here is a member of the weather team here in Ponyville; she was transferred here from Cloudsdale. Would you please inform Raindrops that their new weather mare is in the hospital recovering from an assault? Also, inform her that I wish to speak with her on this subject.”
“Sure thing, Twi,” replied Rainbow.
Cloudy turned to look at Twilight with a nervous smile. “I hope I'm not taking up too much of your time, your Majesty.”
“No, not at all!” assures Twilight. “I’m just glad you're doing better and have at least regained some of your memory. Now we can get you set up here. Do you know if you have a place here in Ponyville?”
“No, I don't know if I have a house here or not,” she admitted.
“Thats alright. We can get something arranged for you if need be,” Twilight stated.
“Um… I-I don’t want to be a bother, Princess. It’s bad enough that I am having to deal with the fact that I was raped and assaulted, and you have been so helpful already… I just don’t want to impose on anypony. I just feel that it’s wrong of me to take advantage of a pony’s good will, even if I’m recovering from trauma.”
“I can understand that,” said Twilight, “But I believe that it is important that you are not alone at a time like this. Trauma or not; what you went through alone is enough to cause other ponies’ concern. I know for a fact that Rainbow Dash is extremely ticked off because of this case, and maybe even taking it a little personally. The reason behind that is because you’re a fellow pegasus pony, and pegasi stick together and help one another out when in trouble. Don’t be surprised if she offers you a room and bed to be there and assist you through this hard time.”
Cloudy smiled nervously. “I guess that’s true. I know that I have helped other pegasi out when times were hard on them. Heck, I even gave my home to a couple who were down on their luck and lost their home to a storm. They were friends of mine, and I felt that they needed a hand, so when I got this assignment I gave them the house so that I could move closer to my job.”
Cloudy gave a small sigh. I hope everything works out…
