Chapter 5 - Meeting Twilight

Chapter 5 - Meeting Twilight
by LightningStrike34

Twilight's POV
"...and that's exactly what happened down to the very last detail." I said explaining the events this morning.

"Hmm... I'll take a look and see what I can do to help but I'm not much of an expert on Dragon Physiology as we typically work with helping ponies, he isn't allergic to any foods or medicines is he?" Doctor Horse asked me

I responded, "No, none that I'm aware of, the only thing he has any allergies from are the flowers found on Dragon Sneeze Trees."

Doctor Horse looks up and remembers something, "Ahh yes, I'm familiar with those trees, I saw them when I was on my previous trip to Canterlot a while back for a Vacation. Some good and interesting times that was; but enough about me let's see if he's awake, he needs to be conscious so I can get a better look at any other minor injuries he's sustained during the fall as you had described."

Looking over to Spike we could see he was getting up in a tired and drowzy state whispering, "Man, that was some freaky dream."

Spike's Perspective

I woke up in a daze after being knocked out of the Dreamscape as I held my head in pain, "Man, that was some freaky dream." I whispered. Looking down I saw and felt myself sitting on what appeared to be a hospital bed, "Why the hay am I-" I clasped my right hand at my neck in shock and horror. "W-w-what happened to me?" I said with a voice much higher than my normal one.

“Well according to Miss Sparkle, you passed out from a concussion as you were hit on the head by two blunt force objects all at once." A male sounding voice spoke to me.

"Miss Sparkle? What kind of last name i-" I stopped as I stood speechless to see two Unicorns standing at the near end of the room. The Purple one walked closer to me as I backed away in caution.

“Spike are you okay? I'm so so sorry about what happaned and it's all my fault I-"

She started to tear up as I talked back to her, "Whoa there, just calm down. You're not the one at fault here umm... Sparkle?" I said questioningly

There was a brief moment of sadness in her eyes before she spoke again, "Do you... do you not remember me?" She asked curiously.

I responded, "I don't even know why I'm here, let alone why I'm in a room with two talking Unicorns."

Sparkle sobbed as the Unicorn Doctor comforted her, "You did say that he was hit rather hard and fast, it wouldn't be a complete shock to suggest that he's developed a form of Amnesia." 'I should play along for the time being, the whole alibi that I have Amnesia is pretty believeable with the splitting headache I have.' I thought.

"Amnesia!? Oh Spike, I'm so so sorry about this I-I-" She starts tearing up again as she sobs into her foreleg.

"Whoa now," I speak up, " I may not have any idea who you are or what's going on but... from the sound of things this isn't your fault, you really shouldn't be beating yourself up over this."

Sparkle looked up with a cheerful look on her face before looking back at me with her previous expression, "Well I guess I should try jogging your memory and see if it comes back to you, My name is Twilight Sparkle," She says pointing to herself with a hoof, "and you are my number one Assistant and Friend Spike the Dragon." 'DRAGON?!'

Pulling my hand into view I didn't see a hand, what I saw instead was a SCALY PURPLE CLAW where it actually should've been, I was internally screaming my ass off from this immediate revelation, 'ohshitohshitohshitohshitohshitohshit'.

The Unicorn named Twilight saw the look on my face as she gave a curious look, "Spike? Are you feeling alright?"

I gave her a somewhat honest response as to not startle her, "Well aside from my head hurting like Tartarus, I-" Tartarus? Didn't I mean to say Hell? What the fuck?' I thought, reevaluating what I just said.

Twilight gives me a curious look, " You, what?" I nervously stutter to find the right words to say, "I-I mean um... I just meant to say t-that I'm fine. You don't need to worry about- OWW!" My Right eye started to hurt as I went to hold it. "Why the buck, wait buck? Ugh, why is my eye hurting like this?" I rightfully asked.

Twilight gave me a nasty look before calming down, "Right, I guess even you wouldn't have been able to know about that beforehoof." 'Beforehoof?' "When I asked you to bring My Brother's Trophy up onto the shelf during the Renovations of our new home one of the steps on the ladder you used broke off as you-" Twilight teared up at this, "as you fell back on your back with a thud, when I went and ran over to help you it was too late for me to do anything to stop the Trophy and shelf from falling on you," Twilight cried, "I'm so so so sorry Spike, I couldn't do anything to help. Especially not after it gave you that Black eye."

I tried calming her down, "Hey, you did the best you could, you were the one who brought me to the hospital right? That means you care an awful lot for me, it was the least you could've done."

Twilight sniffled, " Thank you Spike, I-I guess I needed that. Thank you."

I blushed, "Hey I'm just being honest, no need to get sappy because of me." I paused before asking, "Hey uh, Twilight? Does this place have a mirror I could use?"

She turned towards the doctor before he gave a response, "We do but, it'll take a while before we can give it to you, do you think you can wait a few minutes?"

I gave an affirmative nod, "Yeah I can do that, thank you Doctor."

He gave me a smile, "You're very welcome, now if you'll excuse me for a moment." The Doctor trotted out of the room as he went to grab a mirror.
