Previous ChapterNext Chapter

   Well all, this is the fourth chapter and the way it's looking, this is the only story that shows promise for the future. I hope you all enjoy this next chapter as I have come to enjoy all of your favorites, likes and the one guy that manages to comment. Seriously it's not like you're kicking a puppy for every word in the comment. Jeez anyways enough of that and onto the story.

The green stallion stared in shock at Twilight when she said magic and spells were real, and apparently very easy, but he still couldn't bring himself to believe her.

   " So what,we say, 'One two three, give me back my memory?' for this whole spell thing to work?" the green stallion said skeptically.

" No actually, much less complicated than that." Twilight said, obviously not amused. " I just need to find the memory spell among these books in the library."

They both stood there until Twilight broke the silence.

" Look this is going to take some time, so you might want to make some small talk. Since im going so far out of my way to help you here, how about you tell me your name?"

The green stallion stood still, unsure of what he could call himself. His entire memory was blank, so blank he couldn't even remember what his name was. He kept digging further and further into his mind but he could find nothing.

" I really can't remember, I'm sorry..." the green stallion said but then everything went white.

The stallion could see everything through his eyes, but he couldn't control himself. He could see he was at some sort of courtyard sitting on a bench in front of a fountain. He had been put back in his own human body, but still he couldn't move a muscle.

" You know the more you skip class the more the chance there is for you getting held back." a voice said. His head turned to a girl who was sitting next to him on the stone bench.

" Not like there was much of a chance for me in the beginning." he had mumbled as he head tilted towards the sky.

" Don't talk like that   ," the girl said something but the stallion couldn't make the word out, " Thinking like that will only make things worse."

" So thinking about the truth makes things worse?" the stallion in his human form had said.

" Is this one of my memories?" the stallion thought to himself, " I sound like a total prick."

" God your so hopeless! I don't even know why I try anymore!" the girl said standing up, " I cant help someone who doesn't want to be helped!" she yelled as she stormed off. The stallion couldn't make out her face as she yelled at him, and the memory was only getting fuzzier and fuzzier.

" No wait!" the stallion shouted but nothing came out of his human form's mouth, and then in a matter of seconds everything went black.

The green stallion woke up on the floor in a total haze. He shot up to his feet and realized he had been sweating in his sleep.

" Are you okay? You just passed out and started to yell in your sleep." Twilight said in concern.

The stallion wiped the sweat off his forehead and tried to stop his shaking. " Yeah, i-i'm fine."

" You had me a bit worried there." Twilight sighed in relief. " Are you sure you're okay thought, do you want a glass of water maybe something to eat?"

" No honestly it's alright," the stallion said, "Just a memory of what I was before, but let's just focus on the amnesia problem right now okay?"

" Okay if you insist," Twilight said, but she still looked at the stallion with concern, " Spike found the book while you were taking your, nap." she said but her eyes opened wide with the realization of something, " Wait, did you say that you had a memory?"

" Yeah it was just a flashback, nothing major or anything." the stallion said rubbing his head.

" Of course it's major!" Twilight yelped, " We have no idea how the spell might effect you now! For all we know it could make you go under a year long sleep!"

" Don't worry about it, let's just fix my head." the stallion pleaded

" I'm sorry but I cant just put somepony's safety at risk like that. Not until we can ensure that there will be no risks to you." Twilight said, walking away. " You can stay here for as long as you need to, but I don't want to hear anything else about the spell."

" What if I just do it myself?" the stallion said trying to keep the subject on the table.

" Nice try, earth pony, but you need to have one of these." Twilight said tapping her horn with her hoof. " It's getting late, your room is upstairs with the door on the left."

The green stallion sighed realizing that there was no point in trying to convince her anymore.

" Thank you." the stallion said silently then something in his head had been cleared, " And Twilight," she turned around to see the stallion starting his way up the stairs with her, " The name's Brad."

She smiled at the green stallion,

" Well it's nice to meet you, Brad." she said with a smile, they both went to their rooms and called it a night.

The stallion opened his dreary eyes. He didn't think he could even get a minute of sleep, do to his leg and the latest string of events that had happened to him in the past couple of days, but surprisingly he slept like a baby. He shook his head and stood up on all four of his legs. In the past two days he found himself using his new limbs easier and easier. He shook his legs out and started to stretch. He opened the door and made his way downstairs to see Spike lighting a piece of paper on fire and the smoke flew out the window.

" You really shouldn't play with fire kid." Brad said wiping his eye with his hoof.

" I'm not a kid!" Spike said sharply, "Besides Twilight is here to make sure nothing goes wrong, so there nothing to worry about."

" Yeah but there's no reason to set the house on fire." Brad said skeptically.

" No, no, no you got it all wrong," Spike said shaking his head, " I wasn't lighting paper on fire, well I was but, that's how we send letters to the princess."

" Princess?" Brad said not believing Spike's story.

" You know, Princess Celestia!" Spike said.

" Never heard of her." the stallion said.

Twilight came down trotting down the stairs while rubbing her eyes with her hoof, " Whats all the commotion about?" she yawned. " Spike, did you send those letters to everyone?"

" Yes Twilight." Spike answered.

" And did I hear something about Princess Celestia?" Twilight said, with her eyes getting wide with excitement.

" Yes..." Spike said silently, and he quickly made his way up the stairs into his room to avoid Twilight's lecture.

" You could have just asked me about Princess Celestia you know, so what do you want to learn about?" Twilight asked with a playful smile.

" I guess I'll just learn the basics." Brad said awkwardly sitting in a chair.

" Well it all started with..." Twilight started, and she explained the era of chaos and corruption that had befallen Equestria under Discord. Then she explained how two alicorn sisters came to Equestria and restored order and peace, and how they had been declared the new rulers of Equestria. She explained how bitterness grew in one of the sister's hearts and how she became the wicked Nightmare Moon. She started to explain how Equestria had never seen such a better peace than when the two sisters ruled. She also went on to explain how the evil sister had come back to take Equestria over, and put it under the most pitch black darkness, but her and her friends had stopped him with the sacred and overwhelming power of the Elements Of Harmony.

" Okay, wait one second," Brad said trying to take all the information in, " I heard that you also took down the Discord guy, how does that match up with the story you're telling now?"

" Well," Twilight said blushing, " It wasn't just me of course, I had all of my friends there to help me. As for the timing, Discord came back just like Celestia's sister to take Equestria back."

" Okay then." the green stallion said, and then there was a loud growl.

Twilight giggled, " Are you hungry?" she asked.

" A little peckish..." Brad said blushing.

" Well, I can make us some sandwiches if you want." Twilight said making her way towards the kitchen.

" Sounds great." the green stallion said following her.

The green stallion sat in a chair at the table and watched the purple unicorn make her way around the small kitchen. She opened some of the cabinets with her magical horn, and a frown came across her face.

" What is it?" Brad asked.

" Oh it's nothing, I just forgot to buy some bread last time I was out to the store." Twilight sighed as she shut the cabinets, " I can just go out some time today or tomorrow."

" Hey Twilight, do you want me to pay rent or something? Or at least chip in for the food?" he asked.

" Oh I could never ask you to do something like that Brad."Twilight responded.

" Well, I have to do something, it isn't right for me to just stay here,and do nothing to help." the stallion said trying to persuade her.

" It would help if we had another helping hoof around here," she mumbled, " Okay okay fine, you can help if you really want to, I'm pretty sure Apple Jack would need some help on her farm." she opened another cabinet and pulled out some sun flower bars and offered them to Brad.

" Sounds great, where am I off to?" he said taking the bar and biting into it.

" It should be on that map that you had on your back when you came in yesterday." Twilight said biting into her own bar.

" Alright then," Brad said galloping up the stairs and grabbing the map from his guest room, " I'll be back later."

" You don't have to leave this early you know!" Twilight called after him but the green stallion was already out the door, and on his way to Sweet Apple Acres.
