*Bang*, the gunshot rang throughout the room, the bullet hitting David in the back, knocking him to the ground.
"David!" Wesley called out, reaching a hand towards David.
"Go on wesley, I'll be fine."
"Don't move"
"No"
"Ahhhh."
I shot up and awake
"God it was just a, hold on where am I." I said. Looking around me I could make out what was a door or at least that's what i thought it was, my vision was severely blurred, i was definitely on a bed but that was about all I knew. The door swung open and a brown something wicked through.
"Ah you're awake well that is a good sign." The whatever it was said.
"Where am I, and how did i get here?" I asked.
"Well you had a nasty fall, and as for where you are well you're in ponyville hospital." The blob said.
"What hospital?" I asked.
"Ponyville, do you remember anything about what happened.” He said.
"No, but I can't really see very well right now so remembering what happened is the least of my concerns." I said.
"Ah, well I shall get you something for that, oh yes we don't seem to have you on file or for that matter in any file at all, what is your name?" He asked.
"Wesley Ericson." I said.
"Curious name for a Pegasus but ok." He said.
"A what?" I said.
"You really don't remember what you are, how hard did you hit your head." He said.
"I will bring you the stuff to fix your sight and then you might start to remember." He said, "Familiar visuals may help you remember."
"Quick question." I said.
"Yes." He said
"What is your name?" I asked.
"Ah yes how rude of me, I am Dr. Stables." He said.
"Oh, ok." I said. He left the room to go get something that could fix my sight so that it wasn't so blurry anymore, what it was I wasn't sure of, but before I knew it he had returned.
"Now this may sting a little." He said.
"Ok." I said, feeling a small prick against my arm, leg, whatever it was.
"...And that should do it." He said.
I blinked a few times, my vision was no longer blurry and I could see clearly the room i was in, the door was made of a brown wood, the walls were painted with the top half being that dull nondescript hospital green with a white molding in the middle and the bottom being a blank, clean white, the ceiling was also white. On the floor there was two beds divided by a movable curtain that was suspended from the ceiling, in both corner's there were couches with what looked like quite uncomfortable cushions in the same green color as the wall. Now the doctor was a whole other story, he stood on the right side of the bed on four legs and then it hit me, he was a pony. Now this all made sense, why he would say that my name was odd for a Pegasus, wait does that mean that I am a Pegasus? My heart felt like it skipped a beat, was I excited, nervous, both, I didn't know.
"Doctor, is there a mirror somewhere?" I asked.
"Yes their is one, its over here." He said.
"There?" I said pointing my arm in the general direction or what was now my arm. Instead of a hand adorning the end of my arm there was now a hoof attached to the end, and my skin had also taken on a more cream yellow color which upon further inspection was actually a fur type coat.
"Yes, that is where it is, do you need any help standing? " he asked.
"No i should be fine." I said.
I lifted the covers off and put my back hooves to the floor first, and then I kind of forward rolled my top half off of the bed so that I was facing towards the left wall.
"Good, at least we know that you haven't lost muscle control to any part of your body."doctor stables said.
Moving was definitely an odd sensation compared to walking on two legs but what else was I supposed to expect. I moved slowly and carefully until I was in front of the mirror that had swung out from the cabinet on the left side of the bed.
"Do you remember who you are now?" Doctor Stables asked.
I was too busy checking myself in the mirror I had to on more than once wink or discreetly move forward and backward just to make sure it was actually me and not some trick, my once tan skin had now been covered in a coat of creamy yellow hair, my face had extended around my mouth and nose to create a snout, my eyes now had a gold colored iris, my hair or what was now my mane along with my newly gained tail which would have been sandy blond were now a contrasting shade of alternating stripes of mint green and jet black which flowed down from behind and continued down and around my neck and up and over my head to fall on the left side of my face and slightly cover my eye, my ears were now pointed and raised to the upper sides of my head, my stance had changed from two to four legs which was obvious in the walk over here, and last but definitely not at all least was the wings. I extended my wings outward after a few seconds of trying to figure out exactly how to do it, with my wings fully extended I could feel the power of the muscles which made up the wings powerful arm like structure.
I turned sideways to admire them better and then another new addition I had missed came into view, my cutie mark a red lightning bolt.
"Well you seem to have no problems with your wing muscle either, so do you remember any details of who you are, and are you 100% sure that the name that you gave me was actually your name?." He said.
"I believe I have remembered my name." I said.
"What is it?" The doctor said clipboard and quill held in the aura of the magic emanating from his horn.
"My name is Thunderdash." I said.
"Ok, well then Mr. Dash, I have a few things I must ask you." He said.
"Ok, ask away." I said.
"Ok well first and foremost do you have any pains of any kind that you have noticed now that you have been up and around for awhile?" He asked.
"No, I haven't felt any." I said.
"Ok, next question, do you happen to have a reason as to why your blood is not on file, and why you aren't on file either?" He asked.
"No, my past is a bit blurry I don't exactly remember much." I said.
"Ok well I took some of your blood and sent it to canterlot to have it analysed." He said.
"Ok." I said.
Oh great what if my blood doesn't even match this species then what.
"Ok last question, are you by any chance related to a miss Rainbow Dash?" He asked.
"No, not that I know of." I said.
"Ok, it just that some of your mannerisms remind me of when she was in here, and well the obvious one was you mane style, but then other ponies have that one as well, ah well." He said.
"So is there anything else." I said.
"No there isn't anything else you have to do besides take this paper to the front desk to have you discharged." He said.
"Ok, one more question." I said.
"What is it?" He said.
"Where does one find a place that would take someone in who has no bits as of right now?" I asked.
"Well there is an inn, but thats only if you are willing to work there for your rooms rent and they don't let just anypony work there, beyond that I don't know." He said.
"Ok, thanks." I said.
"You are very welcome Mr. Dash." He replied.
I grabbed the plastic tube containing my discharge papers in my mouth and headed to the desk at the front where I passed them to the secretary and she said that I could go.
Now was the time, the time to open the doors of the hospital and see what was beyond. I opened the doors and was hit with a warm summer breeze and the smell of fresh air.
"Ah such clean air no pollution just fresh clean air." I said to myself.
I walked down the brick path outside the hospital which transitioned into a dirt one that went through a small grove of trees. Walking through the grove made me realize how it was much more peaceful here then back home, no worry about someone jumping out and trying to kill you or the sounds of sirens and cars passing by. I continued to walk and entered a grove of trees and shrubs.
Continuing to walk along I reach the edge of the grove and looked out after my eyes adjusted from the different light level inside the grove, there just a few kilometres down the hill and across a quarter of the valley was Ponyville, and in the distance was the mountain city of Canterlot.
"This place is beautiful." I said in pure amazement.
After another good 20 minutes of walking I reached a bridge which signified the reach of the town of ponyville, I paused for a moment and then took the first step onto the bridge and headed towards the inner city of ponyville.
