Phantasia slammed the pencil down against the wooden table she had been writing on alerting a few who were stationed in front and beside her. she shot up holding her head in pain, rushing towards the bathroom in the back.

Slamming the door behind her she paused and held in her scream, as she waited out for the headache to die, staring into the mirror she gave an irritated look at herself

"Why is this always happening, headaches that suddenly come and go, is that something I should see a doctor about!" Phantasia exclaimed like she was expecting the other half to answer,

"Excuse me, Hello," a man's voice answered from outside the door "Are you okay in there?" He said

"I'm fine thank you, I just need sometime alone to myself please" Phantasia answered, she waited expecting the man to hurry off,

"You don't sound okay, are you sure?" He answered

"Oh for crying out loud" she twisted the lock and flew open the door "I said I'm fine!" she exclaimed, the man stood there like a statue

"Hello? did you not just hear me" Phantasia answered. He didn't move, she started realizing what had happened when she turned to face the others that were on the train.

"Are you kidding me…."

Phantasia looked around for the moment noticing the man was no longer moving or breathing, she panicked for a moment. but recollected herself, this has happened before, although never for this long.

Everyone always froze up or didn't move, but it was for a couple seconds, but this time, it's gone on longer than a few minutes,

"What is going on" She said "Why is this happening!"

She looked around for anything moving, anything. She pulled up the window, which to her surprised followed up along like it was suppose to, the train itself was stopped, now things were starting to get scary.

"No, how is that possible, everything has stopped, but the train's movement -" Phantasia said

"No, it is stopped, but the motion in which the wheels are turning suggests that it is in moving motion, which means the train is still moving, but has frozen." She said

She thought about this recurrence, she stood there, thinking for answers unable to come up with anything hard proofed or logical, other than that it had to be some sort of magic. but that's not possible for her, she's never been capable of any magic. and for over 11 years, she's never heard of anything that can stop a moving train and everyone on board.

"All this bullshit thinking is driving me crazy, there has to be a reason for this" Phantasia exclaimed

She thought hard once again, trying to understand this event. it's happened to her twice now in her life, but that's caught short when the headache suddenly emerges again, this time it was extremely more painful than the previous ones.

"This pain! Its...too much!" Phantasia screamed, her head was throbbing hard, it was too much to handle, any normal person would have passed out the very first time. she could no longer handle it and dropped to the floor unconscious.


Ponyville Hospital ~

"Oh dear, what do we have here?" Doctor Horse observed closely looking at the documents that laid in front of him.

The day was young and there weren't many people in the halls at this time of the morning, Doctor Horse placed the documents down not before signing it, and continuing on with his morning, until...

sounds of footsteps came marching down the hall, people with worried looking expressions rushed over to the the main lobby, interrupted by the tiny mob of people cornering him.

"What in the world is going on?" Doctor Horse exclaimed

"Come quick! a girl has passed out" the man said

The run from Ponyville Hospital to the Train stations isn't exactly an easy task, especially since it's early in the morning and your body needs to wake up first.

It took them a little longer than expected, but they made it nonetheless, inside one of the train cars they rushed in, including Doctor Horse following close behind.

"This is her" The man pointed at one of the seats, she was placed laying down, towards the ceiling, her hair was covering the right side of her face,

"What exactly happened?" Doctor Horse asked, checking her condition

"Well, she was fine for the entire ride here, only until about the time, she slammed something against the table." The girl began

"And stormed into the bathroom, over there. at which I had asked her if she was okay? She told me that it was fine, I asked one last time to make sure, and before I knew it, she was lying unconscious over by one of the seats" He explained

"Hold on, you're telling me that, she just appeared over by the seats after she stormed into the bathroom?" Doctor asked,

"Yeah" He replied

Doctor Horse stood up placing his arms at his sides, he observed her for a little bit, trying to determine the cause.

"Pretty nasty scar she's got here" he muttered

"She seems perfectly healthy, but that could be false, I may need to ask her directly of this problem if I am to get a full diagnosis" Doctor Horse said, "Anyways, thank you for coming to me, I'll take care of the rest, also do any of you by chance know her name?"

"Sorry, we have no clue" The man replied

Horse looked outside towards the train conductor who was calling for the next departure.

"Hello! Hello, excuse me?" Doctor Horse cried out

Horse rushed over towards the train conductor tapping him on the shoulder to gain his full attention

"Did you get the name of the girl who passed out inside that train car?" Doctor Horse asked

"The girl with blonde hair right? she's got a crazy eye" The Conductor said

"Her eyes?" Doctor exclaimed

"No, one of her eyes are pretty messed up, couldn't get a clear look, but I'm pretty sure I saw sort of golden thing, like a tiny glyph" He replied looking at the time

"I don't know, anyway" he said "I think her name was Phantasia" The Conductor answered

"Right, Thank you" Doctor Horse turn around slowly seemingly thinking of what he said, walking over inside the train car, he again observed her appearance, and the scar along her eye mostly caught his attention, though he didn't approach or concern himself with it,

him and two others helped pick her up, he walked over, grabbing underneath both her shoulders making sure he had significant grip, then started lifting her up, the other two, grabbed her legs for support, after a few twists and turns they managed to get her outside without bumping into anything.

"Careful now" he said as they placed her down nicely onto the bench,

"Getting her back to the Hospital, should be priority" he replied

"Whatcha doin' there Doctor?" Pinkie replied, appearing from around the corner of the train station, with a wide smile plastered across her face.

she had been heading over to Twilight's for something special, but overheard an unfamiliar name, of course this sort of thing would jump Pinkie's curiosity and she decided to check it out. her unpredictable smile made it almost impossible to understand what she was thinking at this point.

"H-hello..Pinkie Pie" Doctor Horse replied placing his hands on his forehead

"What's the problem?" Pinkie answered leaning side-ways couple inches away from his face,

"Well Pinkie, I'm currently in the middle of something at the moment, This girl has collapsed" Doctor Horse replied

"Oh, You mean this girl? what was her name again?" Pinkie thought "Phantasia?" Pinkie whispered close to his ear

"Yeah why, do you know her?" Doctor exclaimed

"Nope, not a clue" Pinkie said pressed up against the wall. Pinkie Pie is being awfully straight today, or less hyperactive as usual.

"Well, I need to get her to the hospital as soon as possible" Doctor Horse answered

"oh-oh, I'll do it,me me me, I'll get her to the hospital" she answered hopping around excitingly, forget about being straight

"Uh…."

"Don't worry, I'll take good care of her on the way, besides I want to get to know her as much as possible" she replied reaching out and grabbing her, and lifting her over her back,

"Ugh fine, Just be careful" he exclaimed


Twilight's Castle

"How can those three be late!?" Twilight said exasperated, moving aimlessly around the room,

"Maybe, something came up, that was more important?" Fluttershy muttered, saying in a low tone, but loud enough to hear, twilight stood there,

"Rainbow Dash, cannot be doing anything seriously important enough to miss this, Pinkie Pie was pretty sincere about it when I told her, and Applejack promised" Twilight exclaimed

"Don't worry darling, I'm sure they had their reasons, " Rarity replied kindly relaxing herself.

"I'm sure they'll explain to us why they were late, let's just be patient" Fluttershy answered

"I hope you're right" she answered slamming her butt onto her throne

Silence ran over the room, as seconds became minutes, minutes became hours

"This is hopeless, they aren't coming" Twilight yelled

"Agreed, this silence is rather irritating, maybe we should start without them" Rarity replied


"What in tarnations are with these vines, how can they be so big!" AJ exclaimed, twisting and pulling tightly,

She has gripped the vines tightly pulling her hardest, but they aren't coming off, she's been struggling for an hour, she's gotten a bit sweaty which is making it tremendously harder to pull them off.

Trying again, this time she clenched her fist tightly around the vines

"I missed my meetin with Twilight cause of this mess!" AJ yelled pulling her hardest, only this time, the vines ripped away like it was nothing, they fell to the ground as she held the other ends of them in her hands.

"What in the hay" AJ said to herself

"These vines took me an hour to pull out and no success, and now it's like it didn't take me any strength to even pull em out, what is going on" she answered pulling them all to a pile, she walked up to another batch of vines that were growing extremely fast along the barn, again they were unusually large, AJ tested her curiosity as she grabbed tightly, and pulling them off, which to her shock, they flew off into the distance.

"What the...I must have pulled too hard, wait - a minute, what was that, in all my years on the farm have i held anywhere near that much strength, especially against overly sized vines" AJ answered to herself


"Ahhh" Dash screamed, racing through Evergreen forest like a lightning bolt, sweat running down her face, in between each tree and branch, almost as if she were literally inches away from hitting it, she moves to safety, left and right she went, but what was she running from

"These damned plants! roots, vines! whatever they are, their fucking annoying!" Dash swore as she struggled to keep her distance, each plant, tree, branch, and vine or root was making it's move on her as she passed, with her years of dodging and crashing in to trees, she's lucky she has the experience enough to move around them all.

"Can't keep this up!" Dash muttered to herself, she turned her head to look behind her, although i wish she hadn't, one of the vines up in front of her, clothes lined her into the on coming branches and dirt, making a wing breaking landing, lucky nothing was broken

"Fuck! stupid vines, all I wanted to do - was a trick, a trick! then rush to Twilights so that I am not late, but this happens" Dash said getting up onto her feet, brushing off any dirt and leaves off.

not noticing the oncoming storm of tentacle-like roots behind her, one launches itself at her in attempt to snare her, but her reflexes kick in, and she dodges to right, she couldn't stable herself, so she had to roll out of the way a bit to dodge the other ones.

quick to her feet afterwards, she has little time to think dodging the rest were barely thinkable, acting mostly on instinct at the moment, she began flying at her speed again, and they once again gave chase.

"They are seriously persistent, on second thought, why is the forest attacking me, is that possible!" Dash yelled to herself as she tried to fly higher out of the sight of the trees, although in doing so, she lost sight of the roots, one in front of her managed to latch itself onto her leg, swatting her to the ground

"That...didn't..feel good, damn those things" Dash exclaimed, as they got closer, she looked up annoyed

"Why don't you just leave me alone!"

A burst of fire spouted from underneath her, lighting everything around her on fire, and burning the roots and vines away, afterwards the trees too were burning, the flame seemed hotter thus the trees were already burnt to a crisp.

"What the…." Dash muttered

nothing remained but smoke and ash from what was formerly roots, vines, and trees, lost in thought, the areas of the forest that weren't burnt to a crisp began to move, alerting Rainbow dash of their position,

"Shit, its going to come again, I gotta get out of here while i still can" Dash muttered flying off


Ponyville Hospital ~

It was the after-noon, couple hours after, Pinkie Pie had brought Phantasia to the hospital, The clear skies weren't so clear anymore, with the some of clouds that made their way passed, I guess there was suppose to be rain today,

Suddenly jumping up from her sleep, Phantasia awoke, her eyes enlarged wide, looking down at the sheets of the bed, sweat running down her face, she snap her hand to the right of her face in fear, she sighed in relief, placed her hand close to her chest as if some feeling of satisfaction.

"You're finally awake!, I'd thought we'd lost you" Pinkie shouted, making Phantasia jump in fright a bit, probably due to how close Pinkie's face was to her, talk about personal space.

"Holy, why are you shouting in my ear!" she exclaimed holding her ears in some sort of manner, as she lowered her hand,

"Wait, Who are you, and where am I?" she answered

"The hospital, I brought you here after you collapsed, I don't know the details, all I know is, you're new, and I don't know you, and I know everyone in Ponyville, so I thought, I'd get to know you, and -" before she could continue Phantasia cuts her off

"Okay, I get it!, before you continue rambling like that, how about you make sense first, so who exactly are you?" Phantasia replied, she was annoyed

"Names Pinkie Pie, nice to me you" She replied holding out her hand to Phantasia with a smile plastered across her face,

"Pinkie Pie? Wait, you're Pinkie Pie?!" Phantasia exclaimed

"That's me" Pinkie answered, Phantasia sighed in annoyance, but continued

"Like Pinkie Pie, bearer of the Element of Laughter, defeated discord countless times, Queen Chrysalis" she roared

"Oh yeah, they were pretty intense battles, Oh! and don't forget the fight against Lord Tirek, that was a nasty one, didn't get to do much though, " Pinkie boasted

"Amazing I might add" Phantasia replied looking around the room a bit, and remembered why she came to ponyville

"Damnit, well it was nice chatting with you, but i've got something I needed to do, my headaches seriously limit that every time" she answered pulling her stuff with her, just before leaving though

"Where are you going?" Pinkie asked getting up from her seat in question

"Actually, Might I ask you something really quick" she asked

"Uh...okay? what would you like to know?" Pinkie replied

"I've been looking for someone, someone I lost long time ago" she explained

"You lost? well whats this ones name, I know everyone" she answered still smiling after all this time, Phantasia walks towards the window, peering through it, with a frown

"His name is Deranged Jack we were friends since we were kids, do you know him?"

Pinkie scratches her head in thought, looking up at the disappointing face Phantasia is expressing.

"Uhh, dang it, I know everyone, but that's a new one, Just like you. sorry" Pinkie frowned, then replaced it with a smile once again and snap in front of her

"But, I can help you -"

"No, It's fine, Thanks anyway" Phantasia walks over to the door grabbing the knob and exiting the room, leaving Pinkie alone inside, not far down, she comes across a desk, with someone working behind it, calling out to her as they notice her

"Ah, you're awake" a voice calls from behind her, waving off the nurse behind the counter

"Who are you? a doctor?" Phantasia called out

"Yes, the names Doctor Horse, I was the one who was called out by the fellow residents of the train you were on, they said you collapsed. although it was ultimately Pinkie Pie who brought you here instead of me, so the thanks should go to her" he replied

"No worries, I already did, not that I had much of a choice, she can be quite the talker" she answered stepping forward towards him

"Phantasia, whatever knocked you unconscious, has gotten me a little curious, cause you see -"

"Cause, I seem perfectly healthy, and I'm currently probably in the best stable condition, trust me If I had an answer, I would tell you, I don't know much about it myself" she replied jerking her head back, and moving her arms up, slamming them against her waist

"If I could ask you of this problem, has it -"

"Happened before? Yeah, tons of times, but like I just said, it passes away like it was never there, So it's not exactly treatable, I know all about that degree" annoyed,

"Hey, don't get mad at me, I'm just trying to help" he replied

"Ugh, I know...sorry, just a bit tired of all this shit, I need to figure out a few things, and the headaches are just as bothersome. never said traveling was easy" Phantasia says walking towards the exit

"If I may" He answered cutting off Phantasia's movement, she turns over, looking at him with his hands together walking up, he pulls out a pen and paper and writes something down

"I'd like if you'd stop by sometime, I'd take full effort in trying to see the problem of yours fixed, If you want of course" He explains looking as she draws her attention to the words written on the piece of paper,

"so many things, Fine, I'll see If I can stop by later, sometime, thank you for everything" she exits the building heading towards the dirt road, after a long walk towards the outer edges of ponyville, overlooking the documents to her new house that she purchased

"Well, this is it huh, not exactly fancy, but nothing like home, for now at least. I had expected to get at least some useful information on Jack's whereabouts, but nothing but dead-ends, and headaches" she thought to herself turning around to view the sights

I need to figure out how to deal with these headaches, and most of all what they are doing to me, every time one occurs it's like everything freeze. I can't control it, I'll see what Princess Luna and Celestia think about it. I did come here for information about Jack's ability, but I might as well figure out what I am as well
