"It's going to be okay. Do you here me? You're going to be okay. Any moment now your going to wake up and smile. Right? You're gonna wake up now... Right? RIGHT!? PLEASE WAKE UP!"

"Princess Twilight, you are going to have to wait outside now."

"But-"

"I'm sorry Princess but no one is allowed back here except myself or the nurse right now."

"I-I understand Doctor."

I open my eyes, all I saw is white. I saw a bright light in the shape of a square in the middle of the ceiling. I turn my head to the left and right. I'm in a room, to the left was another square object, but it wasn't like the ceiling light and it's beeping every few seconds. My heartbeat. I think I'm in a hospital of some sort, I look to the right and see a few chairs and above them a window, out the window I saw the night and the stars. They looked beautiful.

So far I've only been using my head to look at things, I have no clear clue where I am or even who I am, I guess I could sit-up to see what I look like at least... huh, I seem unable to move. I look down and see what looks to be a body but I can't feel it, I don't feel frightened by this fact, I turn back to the window, the night and the stars seems to calm, a smile spreads across my face.

"Okay, I'll be right out. Just let me check and see if my patient here is still stable."

A voice, coming from outside the door. I look to see somepony coming through it. They are wearing a standard doctor's uniform and a clipboard in there hand, while the other holds a pen. They are looking down at the clipboard.

"Hello." I say to them.

They look up quickly in my direction, their face is a mixture of shock and surprise, but when they saw me, their face changes to a smile too. "Well, hello to you too. I see your awake now, and that at first glance everything seems fine. I had come in here to check if you were still stable. Looks like got that and something extra." They finish saying.

My smile fades and my face changes to one of confusion. "Stable?"

"Yes stable. You see, you've been in a coma for two years," A coma, I've been stuck in a coma for two years. "and according to your friends you turned eighteen a month ago."

Friends? "Friends?"

I saw their smile change to a face of concern. "Yes, your friends. Could you by chance tell me your friends' names please?" They asked me as they held up the pen and clipboard.

I gave them a blank stare because I didn't know what they were talking about. I didn't know who these "friends" were and I also didn't know if that was a bad thing or not. I had just found out I was in a coma and that I had a birthday recently, and now I had friends? I don't even know my name. With all that was going on my head started to hurt. "I'm sorry, but I don't know who they are or what they look like. Am I supposed to?"

The doctor jolted something down and looked back up at me. "Well sense they're your friends I'd think you would remember them. It may just be side effects of the coma but until I'm clear on your health and mental state, I'm afraid I'm going to diagnose you with Amnesia. I'm guessing that means you have no clue of where you are or who you are, am I correct?" They asked me looking up from the clipboard, having written something down while talking to me.

I nodded.

"Well then, would you like to know your name?"

I nodded again.

"Okay then. Your name is Spike Drake, hatched in a town called Cantorlot and raised by Princess Celestia and Princess Twilight. You also should know Princess Luna. You moved here to Ponyville when you were ten and met five other girls; Applejack, Fluttershy, Rainbowdash, Pinkie Pie, and, Rarity all bearers of the Elements of Harmony. You've been here for about eight years now so you have some birthdays to catch up on. (Don't know why but I didn't like the term birthdays when they said that. Maybe I had a bad experience one time?) You also have friends named Snips, Snails, and Pipsqueak. These are some of the things that they have said about you to figure out which room you were in and also because it seemed like the girls I just mentioned wanted to talk. Does any of this ring any bells of any sort to you?" They said all this while looking at my with a quark ed eyebrow.

I turned my gaze to my bed, then to the window and spoke, "No, I don't know what your talking about. I have no idea who those people are or of any of those places you just named. I'm sorry." I yawn, maybe waking up from the coma and using my renewed brain is making me tired? It's taking all my remaining energy to just keep my eyes open.

The doctor wrote some stuff down and then clicked the pen they were using, putting the object into the front pocket on their coat. "That's fine, I'm sure that it's just a minor side-effect, nothing uncommon. Now, I want you to rest and we'll see how you feel when you wake up okay?"

I lazily nodded and laid my head down and closed my eyes. Wow, my name is Spike, I'm eighteen and I have friends. I wonder what there like. And I'm also friends with four Princesses? That's pretty cool, but then, I was gone.

"Princess, we have arrived."

"Thank you very much Private Cloudchaser, I hope you have a wonder night."

"YAY! WE'RE HERE! WE'RE HERE!"

"A'right Sugercube, lets calm it down a bit, I don't wanna everypony in there hearin' us over the music

"Right, sorry."

"On another note, I believe this night will be simply marvelous! What do you think darling?"

"Oh are you asking me?

"Yes Fluttershy, I am indeed asking you."

"W-Well... I just hope what happened at the Gala doesn't happen again."

"I'm sure everything is going to turn out just fine Fluttershy. That was our first Gala together. Plus this is different, Celestia granted Luna her own night to celebrate so that she would not have Nightmare Night to be remember by. The first ever Winter Moon Celebration!"

"You always say that! 'It's going to be okay you guys. It's not like a monster is suddenly going to appear and destroy Equestria this time!.' It hasn't even been ten minutes yet, and you've already jinxed it. Thanks Twilight now something bad is going to happen tonight, like, rain or something."

"Dash, you really shouldn't believe in the 'jinx'. I assure you, everything is going to turn out just fine.

"...Whatever..."

"Well I'm just happy they didn't get rid of Nightmare Night and just called it Hollow's Neigh, or Halloween pick your cupcake."

"Pinkie dear, I do believe the expression is pick your poison."

"But why would you pick between poison and poison? Cupcakes are so much more enjoyable. I'd want to pick between a vanilla frosted chocolate cupcake or a chocolate frosted vanilla one. What about you guys?"

"..."

"..."

"..."

"..."

"..."

"What? Was it something I said?"

Once again, I was in the hospital room. I still can't feel my body though, slightly worried by this fact now.

"Glad to see you are awake again."

I turned my head and saw that the doctor is in a chair with the same clipboard and pen they used last time. Their head is turned to the monitor next to my bed. Must be looking if I'm still stable. "Hello again. Am I still okay?

They looked at me with a pleasant smile. "You're doing just fine, though sense you are waking up now, you've been asleep for about a day or so." They say to me as they put down the clipboard. "Don't worry about it," Must of seen the look on my face. "In that time I told your friends you were awake and got them prepared for a visit. They also know about the amnesia, and they've been down in the lobby for hours now waiting on you to wake up again so they cold see you. If you feel up for it, I can let them in to talk to you now."

Wow. They're right there in the lobby. But wait... I've been asleep for a little over a day? Well I did just get out of a coma so I guess my brain isn't ready for full-time yet? I looked to the doctor, finally really looking at their characteristics. I don't even know this person's name, first question I should have asked. The big detail I notice is that 'they' is a 'she'. The mare had a red mane and a slight yellow tint to their coat. They wore the same outfit as last time she was in my room. I made my decision. "I would love to meet the friends that I have. Thanks Miss... I-I don't even know your name."

She, smiles more and calmly says, "Why, it's Dr. Redheart, Spike, thank you for asking me."

"I still have a question though."

"Oh? And what might that be?"

"Why can't I feel my body?"

She smiled once again. "Oh that?" Yeah that! "It's simply because you've been in that bed for so long your blood hasn't been circulating. All we have to do is to get you to start walking around a bit." She explain. She then left to get my 'friends'. Phew, that helps to know. Just have to get up and walk.

"Really? That's it?"

"That's it. Would you like me to get your friends now?" She asks me as she head to the door.

"Please." I simply say. She shuts the door softly.

By myself now, I think about what kind of friends these ponies I'm about to meet are like.

*CREAK *

I looked to the door and in comes six mares. (that sure didn't take long.) The first has a lavender coat with a darker lavender with a pink highlight going through it on the right side. She had on a pair of thin glasses with the sides being black. She had on a white vest with a v-neck with a purple long sleeve shirt underneath that has the collar going over the white shirt. On her bottom half, she has on some loose jeans and a pair of white sneakers. She also had a horn and wings.

The one behind her had a glossy kind of white coat with a dark purple mane. The mane is in a swirly kind of style, and she was wearing a lighter purple colored scarf, a light pink blouse with a pair of black leggings with brown heel boots. She just has a horn.

Then comes in a very strange mare. She's pink. Like, REALLY pink, her coat and mane are just pink. Speaking of her mane, JEEZ! It was big and poofy! Somehow though... it worked for her. In her really poofy mane is a little blue ribbon on the left with a bright red one on the right. She's also wearing a blue t-shirt with a light red hoodie. With red sweatpants with red stripes on the sides. And the shoes are different colors, the left was blue and red for the right, all the articles of clothing along with the ribbons were glittery.

The next mare was orange, with a blonde mane, tied up in a ponytail. She wore a stetson cowboy hat, with a jean vest that was over a top that was tied at the bottom. She had on jean shorts and calf high cowboy boots.

After her was a cyan mare that had a blue mane, but also green, and yellow, orange, red. She looked like she was going to work out. She wore a simple white tank-top with simple red track shorts. and rainbow colored sneakers. She also had big cyan wings.

The last of the six mares had a lightly yellow tinted coat, with equally light pink hair, some even draped over her left eye. Adorable. She had on what looked to be a hand-knitted green wool sweater, the sleeves were long and I can't see her hands. She wore a simple skirt that was slightly longer than the length of half her upper leg. On her feet she had on brown coffers. She looked like she couldn't heard a fly. And her facial expression and body language indicated that she was extremely shy.

At this point I take notice of three things:

1) They were all looking at me with small smiles.

2) Tears are at the corners of their eyes.

The lavender mare walked to the chair that Nurse Redheart was perviously seated in moments before she left. The rest of the mares took a que from her and all got chairs and put them around my bed. Starting with the lavender mare, the order in which they seated from left to right goes like this; Lavender, Orange, Yellow, Pink, Cyan, and White. "He-hey Spike." She swallows. "I know you don't remember me, any of us, but I'm Twilight, Twilight Sparkle. I work at the Ponyville Library, which also doubles as my home. It's also your home Spike, it's always been your home Spike, I-we," She gestures towards all of them. "never forgot about you." The tears were starting to build up on her face, and her last statement did the same for all of them.

I looked at her, at them all, trying so very hard to remember my life before... and just smiled at them. I didn't want these girls to be sad. I didn't exactly know why... "It's good to finally see you, all of you. I know that I'm Not exactly the same as when I left, but I hope that with time and a bit of patience, you'll all get the Spike back and I get to be whole again. Now as Miss Twilight did, please introduce yourselves," The tears were starting to run down their faces now. "remember, first impressions are important!"

That really got them going, but it wasn't tears of sadness. No, these tears were tears of joy, of love, of gratefulness, that everything was going to be okay, back to the way it was... except it can't.

"I see ya still got your sense of humor Spike. Even if it's one of the few things you got right now, I'm grateful that you do. When you you knew me, you knew that my name was Applejack. I'm just a hometown girl running a apple farm. Sweet Apple Acres is a leading export for Ponyville. I have two siblings, my big brother's name is Big Macintosh, or as most call him Big Mac. Applebloom is my younger sibling, she goes to the Ponyville Schoolhouse and is friends with Sweetiebell, Rarity's sister,"

The glossy white mare waves a little wave at me. "That would be me Darling." Upper-class.

"and Scootaloo, Raibowdash's adoptive sister."

The cyan mare nods her head. "Yo." Tomboy.

"OOOHHH, I CAN'T WAIT ANY LONGER!" The pink one starts up, rather loudly. She looks like she wants to explode. "SPIKE, I REALLY MISSED YOU! PONYVILLE FELT EMPTY WITHOUT YOU, I HAVEN'T PLANNED A PARTY FOREVEEERRR! NOW THAT YOUR BACK, I CAN PLAN YOUR WELCOME-BACK-FROM-BEING-IN-A-TWO-YEAR-COMA-PARTY!" Um... okay. "SPIKE, WE'RE GONNA HAVE SOOOO MUCH FUN NOW! I-"

The light yellow colored mare puts her mouth over the pink one's, who is still talking. "Pinkie, can you please settle down a little? I don't think that everyone in the hospital should know how you feel. Now I'm not trying to be mean, and I know your excited, we all are, but let's try and keep things calm, do you think you can do that for me?"

The pink one, which I've picked up that her name is Pinkie, nods her head at me. "Yes, Fluttershy." All the other mares lightly laugh.
I'm completely confused right now. How did she do that? All she did has turn her head at her and calmly talked to her. I assumed she was shy but I guess I was wrong. These mares are very... unique.

"Sorry, about that Spike, but like I said, Ponyville has been kind od empty-feeling with you gone. The whole place felt like an unfinished puzzle, without anyone ever finding the last piece, like it was stuck under the fridge but you couldn't mover the fridge because it was too heavy." Um... sure why not? "But now that missing piece has been retrieved because it wasn't under the fridge at all! The whole time it was under the table and now we can put Ponyville back the way it was! It'll be like the old days, with a party every week. Spike I hope that you get your memories back, but until then I just want you to get out of the hospital. Oh! Almost forgot, my name is Pinkamena Diane Pie, but just call me Pinkie, it's what everyone does, it's what you use to too." I don't understand her but the randomness just seems right with this one. "I work and live at Sugercube Corner! Ponyville's number one bakery! We even have a sign saying so."

"It's nice to meet you to Pinkie, and I hope to get out of here soon to." Yes, I must get out. I have to find out the cause of my incident. Who caused it, what caused it, and why it happened.

"Well I guess we can move on. Do you wanna go now Fluttershy?" Applejack looked to the yellow mare, Fluttershy."

"Oh... me? Well, as long as that's okay with everypony else than I guess I can go next." Okay, maybe she is shy. I'm done trying to understand these ponies. "My name is Fluttershy, if you don't already know by now. I live in a cottage on the outskirts of Ponyville. I also have a business within my home much like Twilight's. I won't call it a pet care center, it's more like I just take care of any animal that I happen to come across or find me. And it acts kind of like a pound, because ponies can just come up and pick a pet, It's also like a farm because I also have chickens, cows, pigs, so you know, I manage fine, I'd like you to visit when your out, if that's okay with you of course." Adorable, simply adorable.

I smile brightly at her. "Of course Fluttershy, I'd love to come over and visit." She smiles back while brushing away the hair covering her eye, put it just lazily floats back down over her eye.

"Alright, time for you to meet the best flyer in all of Equestria Spike!" The cyan mare stands up with an arm raised in a victory pump. "I am Rainbow Dash! I am apart of an elite group called the Wonderbolts! We preform death defining stunts so that everypony can be amazed at how amazing I am. Spike," She points at me. "When you get out of the hospital you are going to one of our shows and we'll show that what I say is not a lie!" Very energetic isn't she?

"Well if you insist than I promise that I'll be there. you can count on it."

"No." What? "I want you to Pinkie Promise me that you'll go, a regular promise just won't cut it!"

... what's a 'Pinkie Promise'? "What exactly is a 'Pinkie Promise'?"

"WELL SPIKE," Pinkie now stands. "A Pinkie Promise is the most super special ultra mega fantastical promise anyone can make, EVER! It's the promises of all promises! If you promise on this promise, then that promise MUST BE KEPT AT ALL COST! If you break this kind of promise then terrible things will happen."
I dawned a puzzled look of confusion. "What kind of terrible things are we suggesting?"

Rainbow Dash looks at me intensely. "It is not suggestion, but truth! All of Equestria will head towards a disaster of biblical proportions!"

More confusion. "Biblical?"

Pinkie jumps in. "What she means is Old Testament, Spike, real wrath of Faust type stuff."

Rainbow points at her. "Exactly."

Pinkie raises her arms up quickly. "Fire and brimstone coming down from the skies! Rivers and seas boiling!"

Rainbow chips in. "Forty years of darkness! Earthquakes, volcanoes..."

Pinkie again. "The dead rising from the grave!"

Dash. "Human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together... mass hysteria!"

"All right, all right! I get the point!" I interrupt them. These mares are very animated.

"Just trying to get you to take it seriously, Spike."

"Well I do now. So what's the chant I have to say anyway?"

Pinkie stood at attention. "Cross my heart, hope to fly, stick a cupcake in my eye." She takes her hand, and puts it to her heart, makes an X-mark over it then puts it over her eye.

Seriously? "Seriously?"

She nodded sternly.

"Well okay then, but I won't be able to do the motions."

This got everyone to look at me. The only one not confused was Twilight. "Why not?" Pinkie Pie asks.

Twilight pushed up her glasses. "You see Pinkie, sense Spike's been in a deep coma, his blood hasn't been circulating all that well, so until he starts to move again, he's basically a talking vegetable."

She looks at me with a smile. "Okie dokie lokie! Just say the words with meaning then."

I nodded, and look to Rainbow. "Rainbow Dash, I Spike, Pinkie Promise you that I'll see your show. Cross my heart, hope to fly, stick a cupcake in my eye." She sits back down in her chair satisfied that I'll be there.

"Well then, I do hope it's alright if I introduce myself to Spike?" The glossy mare speaks up.

The mares looked to her. "Go ahead." They all say to her.

"Thank you girls. Spike, my name is Rarity and I live with my sister, who you know as SweetieBell, at our home The Carousel Boutique, which also doubles as our home. I also have a white cat named Opalescence, but we just call her Opal. I am Ponyville's up and coming fashionista and already my business is doing quite well, and Spike?" She asks me.

"Yes Rarity?" I answer her question with my own.

"When you get out of this place, I'll need you to come by the boutique so I may make some proper clothes for you. In the mean time here are some... 'test' clothes so that you have something to wear when you do get out. Twilight and I both came up with some numbers that may be you height and length but by no means are these an example of my work. these are just something that I whipped up. " She finished as she produced some clothes from seemingly nowhere... I don't know where she was hiding them but I think I'll leave it be.

I took the clothes and looked them over. The clothes were simple, I smiled and looked at the mare. "I think they'll fit just fine Rarity."

Author's Note
