My name is Twilight Sparkle. Or at least I thought it was.

Princess Twilight wakes up to find herself.. somewhere, only to discover, she is not herself. She learns her world, her friends, and her identity was all dream. She is not Princess Twilight Sparkle. She doesn't even know who she is.

This Is Not Who I Am.(Prologue)

This Is Not Who I Am.(Prologue)

My name is Twilight Sparkle. I am the Princess Of Friendship in Equestria. I live in Ponyville. I am the Element of Magic. I defeated Nightmare Moon and the Changeling Army. I was friends with Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Rarity, Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie. I was the apprentice of Princess Celestia. Or at least I thought this was all true.

I don't know who I am. Literally. I don't know my name or how I got here. I just... Woke up here. I was an alicorn the last time I checked. But... I'm a pegasus now. And I don't even know where I am. I am just... Here. Wherever here is...

I don't even remember much about before I ended up here. I just remember... This is not who I was before. I was Twilight. Twilight Sparkle. The Princess Of Friendship and the Element Of Magic. I was not whoever I am now. I don't know how this is possible or why it happened. It was happened and somehow I was part of it...

My friends. My friends are no where to be seen here. I don't even know where they are or what happened to them. I don't know where Spike is either. Or Owlicious. I can't seem to find anyone I know here. They are gone. Whether they exist or not here, I can't locate them or anything. I am alone.

I need to figure out who I am. That is my first priority.

From what I observe. I am about 17 or 18 years old. A gray pegasus. Blue eyes. Silver and blue mane. My cutie mark is a a silver stripe with a blue star, extended in flight with pegasus wings. I don't know who I am now, but whoever this is must be somewhere else.. Another body? Gone from existence itself? I'm not sure.

There has to be a way to figure this out. I can't go around just asking ponies if they know who I am. I might make a fool out of myself. There must be something that can tell me who I am. An ID card? Something? Anything? Just something that could tell me what the hay is going on?!

I don't know. I have to know.

I am Twilight Sparkle. I need my friends. I need to life. I need everything back.

This is not who I am.

Or Maybe I'm Not

I blink the sleep away. I wake to unknown place. An unfamiliar area.

I don't know how I got here.

I get out of bed and walk to a mirror. I am not me. Who am I? Who is this mare that is staring back at me? I am not this mare. I am Twilight Sparkle. Not this mare.

I don't know who I am.

My eyes begin to absorb to area around me. The place is still unrecognizable. Neither is the mare in the mirror. There is no one around me.

Where are my friends?

I look out I window. I am in a cloud house in the sky. Why am I here? Where is my castle in Ponyville? And where is Ponyville at all? I am lost.

Where is my home?

This is not my place. I attempt to use magic. Nothing happens. I look in the mirror again. I am not even a unicorn. I am a pegasus.

My race is changed. How is that possible?

I don't understand. What has happened to me? Is this a dream? Where is everybody? This has to be a dream. It can't be real. It just can't.

I will wake up any second. It has to happen. I just has to.

It doesn't though.

Am I stuck here? In this nightmare? I still don't know who I am. Nothing can tell me who I am.

My identity is missing.

This can't be happening.

I am not this pegasus. I am Twilight Sparkle. The Princess Of Friendship. Element Of Magic. Friend of Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash, Applejack, Rarity, and Pinkie Pie. Apprentice of Princess Celestia.

Or maybe.

I'm not.

An Identity Aquired

I was finally able to locate something to reveal my idenity.
My name is Quick Silver, a seventeen year old pegasus. I'm from Cloudsdale and now I have identified my location to be Las Pegasus. My parents are Uranus Shine and Steel Frame. My mother, Uranus was actually an earth pony from Appaloosa and Steel was an older generation of the league of the flyers, The Wonderbolts in Cloudsdale.
Yep, I found my birth certificate. Lucky me... Not.
Frankly, I don't know why I'm here in this weird body. Or where my real body is. I don't care.
I just want to go back.
I'm not sure if its smart to go out of my house. Who knows where I stand in the community... I could be something I don't know anything about being. Or who I'm friends with or who the buck knows, I might even have a coltfriend or something to that extend.
I'm not really sure...
I don't really want to stay in here all day. But I don't know what might happen if I leave.
If I stay here, I'll be bored to death and I might not figure out whats going on.
But if I leave, I could risk my idenity and my pride. Or whatever is on the line there.
I think I'm losing my mind.
Well, there really isn't anything to do here. There isn't even a single real book in here. Just weird comic books like Spike used to read...
Spike...I wish he was here...
Well no books equals no life in my terms, so I don't have anything good for ideas.
Books. I wish I just had books. Books could give me ideas. I miss my library... Where I had every book I needed.
The thought of my tree library home made my heart twinge with sadness.
I miss my home...
Well, I give up. I'm going to go out there and figure out what to do.
And the first stop, is a library!
