My Little Stranger

Slipsdoo blinked as they reached the town, he just gazed upon the bustling little community that was going about its daily business.

Why does she live on the outskirts...oh yeah, super shy. Got it.

They continued to walk, Fluttershy leading the way to Twilight's house. He would occasionally glance to his left and right, taking in the sight of the smiling ponies who looked upon him with curious gazes. Even the foals that ran around and played stopped to gaze upon him. He couldn't help but have a smile on his face as he looked at all the warm townsfolk.

"We're here." Fluttershy said, directing his attention forward. Slipsdoo gazed upon the giant tree before him, his jaw slightly hanging.

"Somepony lives here?" he asked in disbelief.

"Oh yes, my friend Twilight lives here. This is also the Ponyville Library." Fluttershy said as she knocked on the door.

Well that answered my future question of where I am. Ponyville huh?

The door opened and revealed a lavender colored unicorn with a moderate sapphire blue mane and tail with a pink and violet streaks. Her eyes were a lighter shade of violet than the streak in her hair. She smiled at Fluttershy, "Hi Fluttershy, what brings you down here?" she asked.

"Oh well, I found this Stallion coming from the Everfree Forest, he seems to have Amnesia, but i'm not too sure." She said. Twilight peered over her friend and saw the stallion in question. Slipsdoo just smiled at her and smiled more when she returned the smile.

"Well come on in." Twilight said as she moved aside for them to both enter the home, shutting the door once they were all inside. She then trotted up to the mysterious stallion

"I'm Twilight Sparkle, what's your name?" she asked.

"I'm Slipsdoo." He answered with a smile, hiding the fact that the familiarity factor just rose higher. Seriously, why does she seem so familiar?

"So, Fluttershy says you're having memory trouble?"

"Yeah, I can only remember my name" he said.

"Hmmm" she thought as she examined him. "Well I've never seen you around before that much is certain." she said as she continued to think.

Gee really? We only just met...

"I've got an idea, i'm gonna name off different locations throughout Equestria, and we'll see if anything comes to you." She said.

"Worth a try."

And so she named off many places like Fillydelphia, Trottingham, Las Pegasus, Baltimare, Neigh Orleans and the like. None seemed to jog his memory.

"Hmm, perhaps it's too early to try this. Your mind is most likely still recovering from whatever shock left you without your memory." Twilight said. "I think I should write a letter to Princess Celestia, see if she has any advice."

"The Princess Celestia? you're pen pals with the Princess?" he asked with pure bewilderment.

"I'm actually her personal Protegee." If his jaw could it would as it shot open as if about to go through the floor.

"Holy Hay...that's incredible!"  Twilight just giggled at that before she called Spike down to take a letter. The little purple and green dragon was quick to respond as he descended the stairs.

"A dragon?" he asked.

"Heya, I'm Spike" Spike said.

"Hi Spike, my name is Slipsdoo."

"Spike, take a letter" Twilight said as Spike got the quill and parchment out.

Dear Princess Celestia,

My friend Fluttershy has just brought a Stallion with her to my home that seems to be suffering from Amnesia. Only able to recall his name in fact. I was wondering if you had any ideas on how to jog his memory? I've tried naming places, but it seems the amnesia is a recent ailment since nothing came to mind for him.

Speaking of memory I think I left the stove on-No don't write that Spike! What do you mean you already wrote it? Will you stop writing what I say? I know that would make it impossible for you to take letter-oh for pete's....

Just write back with any ideas you may have, thank you.

Your Faithful Student,

Twilight Sparkle

Spike rolled up the parchment and blew fire onto it, causing it to be sent to the princess.

"That's one handy delivery system." Slipsdoo said as Twilight headed into the kitchen to check the stove.

"All part of being Twilight's Number One Assistant." He said with pride.

"Hoo?" Came the sound of an owl, turning his head Slipsdoo did in fact see an owl perched on a bird stand.

"Me, Spike, that's who." Spike said.

"Hoo!" The owl said again. Spike opened his mouth, but stopped himself since he knew where this was going.

"That's Owloysius." Spike said to Slipsdoo.

"Nice to meet you Owloysis, I'm Slipsdoo." he said with a smile.

"Hoo?"

"Slipsdoo, that's my name."

"Hoo!"

"Does he do this a lot?" Slipsdoo asked.

"Unfortunately." Spike answered before belching up a flame that turned into rolled up parchment. He grabbed it and opened it as Twilight entered the room.

Dear Twilight,

I'm sorry to hear that this pony has amnesia, and I am proud that you are taking it upon yourself to help him. I'd say just give it time, Amnesia usually resolves itself in a few days. That is if it's a mild case.

Keep me posted.

Princess Celestia

"IF it's a mild case?" Slipsdoo asked worried now.

"I'm sure it is, most are" Twilight said. "But on the bright side, you'll have friends like me and Fluttershy to help you"

He smiled at that, finding it a comforting thing to hear. "Thank you very much Twilight." he said.

"How about we take you to Sugarcube Corner?" Twilight asked "You can meet our friend Pinkie"

"Sure, lead the way" he said.

"Spike, watch over the place while I'm gone" Twilight said.

"Yes ma'am" Spike said with a salute.

"Let's go" Twilight said before leaving with Slipsdoo and Fluttershy. The three ponies making their way to Sugarcube Corner.

Friends like them he thought with a happy smile on his face.
