Misadventures Of A Blank Pony

I feel a soft breeze caressing me. Also hearing, uh... ''chirpy'' noises. I am trying to lift my heavy eyelids,
to see where I am, now. My sight is blurry, at first. I clumsily get up on my hooves, feeling my head spinning. It takes a few blinks to see correctly. My sight settles back.

I am in a colorful background, now. No more plain white. Above me, it's clear blue with white patches. Down on the floor, it's green. Green stuff that tickles me. And there are brown things around the place with green stuff on top of them. I remember the word... Trees? My memories is settling back little by little, but the place where I am is no hint of my past. A tiny feathered creature flies close to my head to land on one of a tree's branches. Seeing where I can go now, I stand up on my hooves and use them to walk.

I have only one objective: Regain memory and knowledge, then find something to eat and somewhere to rest.

It takes me nearly an hour to walk nonstop, and then finally discover on the horizon, a sort of... VILLAGE! That's the word! Ugh, what's with me forgetting every name of objects I've known, before?! And I am so amnesiac that I don't even remember what I am! Oh well, at least I've found a place to rest now. I run toward it. But it's still too far, so I eventually quickly run out of breath and walk instead. Took long minutes to get there.

But as I get there, I spot a similar of me sitting on a desk. I decide to approach him.

''E-Excuse me, can you help me?'' I ask him

''Yeah yeah, sure. What is it?'' He responds in a bored tone, his eyes still locked on a book.

''Where am I?''

''You arrived in Ponyville's custom office. But before you can enter in, I must have a brief description of yourself. We don't just let anypony enter without knowing their intentions.''

''A... description? I scratch my head with my hoof. I... don't know. I don't even know what I am!''

He turns to me, his bored expression turning to a surprised one. He narrows his eyes, like he was judging me.

''Wow. He says. You sure need to see a doctor.''

''A what?''

''You have a serious problem, I see. You know what? I'll just let you enter the city. Here's the map to help you find the psychiatric hospital, or even the normal hospital since your problem seems to be related to your... um... physics. Frankly, you remind me of those characters from 8-bit video games I used to play. But without colors. Have you played too many of them, recently? I'm not even going to ask about your mane, anyway.''

My mind is blown by all these things he said. He gives to me a piece of paper. The marks in it illustrates the locations of that ''Ponyville''.

''You are the only exception. If I see another pony like you, I'll deny him unless he's your cousin or something. Have a nice trip!'' He says before his pupils roll back to his book.

''...T...Thank you?''

Wait, does that mean I am a.... pony?
The door opens. I enter it.

And what my eyes are looking at leaves me speechless.

So many ponies! They are so different from what I look like! They have manes of different styles, colors of all kind. Colors less flashy and eye-hurting than this pony I met when I was still in that empty place. Some of them have a horn on their heads, others have wings and fly around. And their lines are... smoother.

I feel a lump of discomfort in my throat. I feel... different. Different from these ponies.

My doubts seems to be confirming as I walk to the village. The ponies all look at me, frowning. I even see one having her muzzle close to the other one's ear, but still both looking at me. Are they saying mean things about me? All eyes are on me. So many eyes... Oh this is so awkward! My heart beats even faster. It pumps so much that I feel like it will explode.

The loud noise of my beating heart is interrupted when an unexpected high-pitched voice breaks through my ears.

''HI!'' I collapse on my back, startled. I open my eyes and see a pink pony with a puffy mane looking down at me, with a wide smile and eyes sparkling of happiness. She starts to make her mouth go so quickly that I don't have time to understand a word.

''GASPANEWPONYI'VENEVERSEENYOUHEREBEFOREIT'SSOOOOOOOAMAZINGOHRIGHTMYNAMEISPINKIEPIEIGIVEYOUMYMOSTCHEERYANDHEARTWARMINGWELCOMETOPONYVILLEHEHEHEHEHA!''

''....What?''

''Hehe, sorry! I am always like that when new ponies arrive! Does it ever happened to you to be so excited? Oh, silly me! Of course! It happens to everypony, right?''

Being excited? Is this what this weird pony is being like right now? Because I don't want to be like that. I'm not even sure what I want to be!

She helps me getting back on my hooves. She then grabs my hoof and shakes it very fiercely.

''Like I was saying, welcome to Ponyville! I have many questions for you! Pink-Pony-Thing continues. What's your name? Why you don't have a mane? Where is your tail? Why is there no shadow below you?''

Too. Many. Questions. I don't even know the answers! I think it's the good time for me to try to explain.

''Honestly... I don't know. I only remember waking up in a completely white, empty place... Another pony... and an arrow thing that I escaped from... and I found myself here, in that world. I don't remember alot of things. I'm very lost, can you help me?''

The pink pony is speechless. She then takes a huge breathe and spill this long sentence:

''Poor you! this seems so horrible, being in a place where no cheery colors have settled in! That's the worst. Possible. Thing! Huhehe! I just stole Rarity's line! You should meet her, she's really nice! But is often stressed, these times. I would intoduce you to my friends, but they are nearly all busy now! I can at least introduce you to Rainbow Dash! She's totally awesome and 20% cooler! Oops, I stole one of my friend's lines again! Silly me! And sure I can help you! Oh, by the way, you probably didn't have time to hear it out, but my name is Pinkie Pie! What's yours?''

''....''

''Oh, you don't know? Well I'll make up some names for you! How about... Hmm... Blank! Hehe, that's a funny name! What do you think?''

''Blank?''

Blank. That's a nice name. I can't think of a better one. All these friend pony names that Pinkie Pie mentioned are... not for me.

''I guess I can go with Blank.''

''You're adorable! You remind me of another of my friends, Fluttershy! Except that she's quieter and hardly comes to Ponyville as she is busy caring for her animals and supporting the Equestrian Society for the Preservation of very hyper rare creatures! It must be very fun protecting rare animals, dancing around a camp fire and sing songs! You hungry?''

''...Yes.''

''Good! Just because you seem nice and fun to talk to, I'll offer you a free cupcake! Come with me, Sugarcube Corner is not that far!''

The pink pony hops over the place. I follow her. She leads me to a tasty looking building, with the roof that seems to be made of pastries and icing. I am drooling squarish drops of sticky water. How do I know these words so quickly? Didn't expect my memories to settle so quickly.
Pinkie Pie opens the door and hops inside. I join her when I hear another voice.

''Why, hello Pinkie!''

''Hi, Mrs. Cake!'' Pinkie Pie cheerfully responds.

I walk inside and see a blue pony with a swirly pinkish mane that points upward. She stands on a desk with tasty looking pastries inside.

''Where is Mr. Cake?'' Pinkie asks her.

''He's out buying more icing. Oh, who is this pony next to you?"

"Her name is Blank! She just arrived in Ponyville! Anyway, what kind of icing you still have?''

''I have grape, lemon and huckleberry flavored ones left. Are you interested in any of them?"

"I'll take a strawberry cupcake with the huckleberry icing on it! What will you take, Blank?''

I don't remember what these ''icings flavors'' taste like. So I'll pick randomly.

''I think I'll take grapes. No! Lemons! Yeah, definitely lemons.''

Mrs. Cake seems to be surprised a moment before getting on the order.

After receiving our orders, me and Pinkie Pie sit on a table.

"Feast yourselves, my little ponies! I have to go breastfeed my twins, now.'' Mrs. Cake says before going upstairs.

I take a bite of my cupcake. I grimace after tasting the sour lemon icing.

''Sour, isn't it? She giggles. No wonder few ponies choosed that icing! So, let me get this straight: you woke up on an empty, white place, with another pony, and a weird white arrow thing that tried to get you?''

''Basically, yes.''

''That's crazy! This is probably where you came from! Curious, I thought the story about storks worked with ALL ponies. You seem to be an exception! You look so different from other ponies! I LOVE it! Difference is the most beautiful thing on Equestria! Don't let anypony tell you otherwise.''

She presses my pixelated cheeks with her pink, smooth hooves. Awkward silence takes place as my eyes meet with hers that are narrowing.

''...Okay.'' I utter.

''Good! Since you are lost and obviously don't have a home, I hope you don't mind joining the Cake family! I remember them adopting me when I was a filly and that I ran from home! Mr. Cake found me unconscious on the ground in a rainy day and took me in, in the warm! That's how I met the Cakes! So, what do you think about joining us?''

I take time to reply. But she is right, I don't have a home. Maybe temporarily settling with Pinkie Pie and her family wouldn't harm.

''Sure, why not. Thank you, Pinkie Pie. You help me.''

"AWESOME! I'm sure you'll fit in just great besides the fact that you are bald, have no shadows following you or even a cutie mark!''

She squeezes me the biggest hug I've ever had. She squeezes me so much that I can barely breathe. But it feels so warm and energetic at the same time. For now, I finally have a home.
