"Is he going going to be okay doctor" twilight asked as she looked at the unconscious unicorn through the open door. The stallion had been transported to the hospital after twilight had brought the doctor to Rarity's boutique. After they had arrived back at the hospital and the stallion had been stabilized, twilight got her first clear look at the unicorn. His coat was a light chestnut brown with a spiky white mane and tail. He had no cutie mark, which for a stallion of his age was odd, but what was really strange about the unicorn was his horn. Unlike a normal unicorn, whose horn should look like a spiraled cone, this unicorns horn was shaped like a lightning bolt and was twice as long as a normal unicorns horn. It was also white like the stallions mane instead of being the same color as the the rest of his body.

"He should be just fine." the doctor replied, following Twilight's gaze towards the stallion. "He's actually quite lucky that you were the one who found him Ms Sparkle. His wounds were quite deep, and without your telepotation spell we might not have gotten to him in time."

"Thank Celestia." Twilight exhaled, relived that the stallion was going to live.

"Now Ms. Sparkle, I have a few questions for you." the doctor stated "first of all, do you know who the patient is?"

"No." Twilight answered "Today is the first day I've seen him before in my life."

"Right," the doctor said, jotting down notes on his notepad "and where did you find the patient?"

"Right outside of the boutique," Twilight said, "in a small crater where a bolt of lightning had struck the ground a few meters in front of me, which makes no sense because he wasn't there before the lightning hit."

The doctor gave twilight a puzzled look. "Are you sure he wasn..." he started before he was interrupted by a voice coming from the room he and twilight were standing by.

"Uh... wha-what... where?" the stallion spoke, his golden yellow eyes now open and studying his surroundings.

"He's awake!" Twilight said excitedly, letting the doctor trot into the room before closely following behind him.

"Hello son." the doctor said, quickly grabbing the confused unicorns attention. "There is no need to worry, you are quite safe. Your now currently in Ponyville Hospital, and I am the hospitals head doctor. Can you tell me what your name is?"

"My name is..." the unicorn started before pausing, looking like he was trying to remember something. "My name is... I-I can't remember."

"Well that's not good." the doctor said with a worried look. "Can you remember anything from before you woke up here?

"Um... Uh" the unicorn muttered, his face slowly screwing into a pained expression. After about a minute or so he replied "I-I just can't." The unicorn was now holding his hooves to his head, occasionally whimpering as pain pulsed through his head.

"Are you okay?" Twilight asked, stepping out from behind the doctor. The male unicorn ignored her, clutching his head tighter with his hooves as the pain got worse. "Hey can you here me? I asked if you were alright." she said, placing a worried hoof on his shoulder.

As soon as her hoof made contact the stallions eyes shot open and he quickly turned his head to face her. When his gaze meet hers his pain seemed to compleatly disappear. They held eye contact fora few seconds and twilight felt her cheeks grow hot, a blush growing across her face. Then she saw what she swore appeared to be a spark of electricity flash across his eyes. A second later the stallion let out a painful yell as his pain came back as quickly as it had left.

As the stallion yelled in pain, bolts of yellow electricity started to fly off of his horn, striking anything in the immidiate vicinity. Twilight immideatly conjured up a magenta colored barrier with her magic to prevent any of the bolts of electricity from hitting her or the doctor. The stallion continued to yell and the electricity continued to strike things in the room, breaking pots that held plants in them, frying medical equipment, and scorching the walls.

The stallions pain was thankfully short lived, as after about a minute and a half, the unicorns eyes opened once again. Electricity stopped flowing out of his horn as he fell limply onto his bed, his eyes slowly starting to close again as he slowly slipped into unconsciousness. As he did he let his eyes drift back to twilight who looked both curious and horrified at the display the stallion had just provided.

"My name..." the male unicorn muttered at the edge of consciousness, just barely loud enough for the two ponies to hear. "is... Gigawatt." He slipped into unconsciousness as the last word slipped out of his mouth.

"Gigawatt?" Twilight wondered out loud, lowering her magenta shield as the doctor and a few nurses that had come to see what was happening rushed by her to make sure that the stallion was alright. her mind started to wander, filling up with questions about the unicorn. Who exactly was this stallion? Where did he come from? What was that spark that she saw in his eye when they looked at each other? Why did she start to blush when...

"Ms. Sparkle!" the doctor cut into her thoughts, waving his hoof in front of her to try and get her attention.

"Huh, what?" Twilight responded, startled at the unexpected interuption. "Oh! Is he okay doctor?" Twilight asked, looking at the stallion laying on the hospital bed, nurses hovering over him as they checked his vitals.

"He'll be fine,he just lost consciousness." the doctor replied, looking at the male unicorn and back to twilight again. " now Ms. Sparkle, I'm aware that your concerned for the patients well being,but it is getting late, and since your not family I'm going to have to ask you to leave for the night and come back in the morning."

"What, but what if he..." Twilight started to interject, suddenly feeling very emotionally attached to the stallion. 'Where did that come from?' twilight thought trying to find out why she felt this way.

"Do not worry Ms. Sparkle," the doctor replied, gently coaxing her towards the door. "if anything happens during the night I'll personally make sure that you are the first pony to be notified.

"Okay, fine." twilight reluctantly agreed, silently trotting out the door. "I should probably inform Princess Celestia about this and make sure Rarity and Sweetie Belle are okay. I mean it's not like it's everyday that somepony just appears in a bolt of lightning injured as badly as he was."

"Very good Ms. Sparkle." the doctor agreed with a nod as he closed the door to the stallions room behind him leaving the nurses to their job. They walked to the entrance of the hospital in almost complete silence, and once they reached the doors the doctor said "Have a good night Ms. Sparkle."

"You to doctor." Twilight replied. she gave one final look down the hallway they had come from, sighed, and trotted out the hospital doors.
