The Adventure Starts

I was having the worst dream ever. I imagined I was falling, no wings, not even a being from Equestria, but instead a weird being. I was falling. No way to stop myself.  I was coming closer to the ground, only a matter of time till I hit it. I was screaming, trying to find someway to stop myself from the fall. When I woke up, screaming and flailing around in pure terror. “AHHH!!” The nurse’s had to come in and try to calm me down. They noticed these dreams were happening more frequently now than when I first was admitted into the hospital, and so did I.

I felt warm hugs and comforting words as they were trying to calm me down from the terrible experience that I had just encountered, shaking as they held me tightly, and then it hit me, what was I when I was falling? I wasn’t a pony, I know what those strange creature are but...I just can’t name them.

A few days later from that last nightmare I woke up from the sun from the window on my left side. I squinted and was trying to adjust to the bright sunlight as I wondered how it got open. I just wanted to sleep! All the exercises I had to do were so painful i just wanted some rest, so they kept the curtains closed all the time. Why are the windows open? I thought but after that question came into my mind, the doctor walked in with a big smile. “Congratulations! It’s time for you to finally go out into the world and fly!”

I couldn’t believe what I had just heard. It is finally time for me to leave? I feel worse than what I did when I first was admitted into the hospital so is it even right to have me leave? “Are you sure doc? I mean....I still feel tired and sore....”

The doctor laughed and walked over to me and said, “Oh you’re only feeling that way since we still have all these wrappings over your body nice and tight. Here...” he stated as he started to undo the wrappings that were on my body. All the pressuse that was on my body was being released. I looked down at my body and was amazed that nothing was wrong with it at. “Wow...before I felt like I had a giant gash in my stomach, but now.....wow...”

The doctor laughed and kept only the wrap that was on my wings. Puzzled I asked, “Why not take those off?”

“Because they hasn’t fully healed yet. Don’t worry though, in a week come back in and we’ll do a follow up and check to see if we can take them off alright? Oh and make sure that you don't get smacked around or anything. You had a bit of a concussion when Pinkie Pie brought you in here.”

“Alright...wait....who’s Pinkie Pie?” I asked in a questioning tone.

The doctor laughed and forgot the last part of what i said and helped me into the wheelchair. He starts to write something on a little piece of paper and put it somewhere on my body, what felt like a hole or some sort “Alright, there’s the paper that tells about the follow up date, I put it in your pocket so you won't lose it. Well I hope you have a wonderful day.”

“Wait, Doctor, where do I go to find out what my name is?”, I said in a worried tone.

“Truthfully, I really don’t know. We normally call you by what your parents want but alas.... we can’t locate your family. Maybe they were from Cloudsdale but since we don’t know what there names are or even if they are from there, we can’t decide. Don’t worry though you’ll figure it out soon enough.”

And with that last comment, the doctor or me both didn’t say another word as we went down to the ground floor and out the door.

I got up from the wheelchair and onto my hooves as I looked around for a bit and tried to see if anything, just anything, looked slightly familiar to me but alas, nothing did and I sighed slightly and started to walk away from the hospital. I was still looking around trying to recognize anypony that came to visit me or the other pony in the room. Now that I’m thinking about it, I didn’t know anything about the other pony that was there in the hospital with me. Ehh just forget about it, nothing to worry about. I was suddenly interrupted when I felt a rumble inside of my stomach and I chuckled just a  bit, “Guess I’m hungry....but.....I’m completely bro-”

That was the only thing I was able to say as I was hit by a strong force. As I laid there, in a daze from the sudden hit I realized that all I could hear was a soft and long beep. My left wing that was under me was in extreme pain yet that wasn’t even comparable to the pain on my right side that I was hit on. I seen a pony’s head hover over me as he was trying to talk to me. I couldn’t hear him. All I knew was that he was just moving his mouth around. He soon gave up on that and decided to lift me off of the ground and onto his back.

At least he didn’t put me on either of my sides so now there is less pressure there, so I sighed in relief. He heard that, turning his head he tried to talk to me again.Nothing, that is all I can say about that conversation is that i couldn’t hear him, so I shook my head and tried to tell him I can’t hear what he’s saying. He had a little frown come onto his face as he understood.

I am “fragile”, thats what the doctor said anyways, so it makes a bit of sense to me know that I am not able to hear from that hit, supposedly when that pink pony found me in that forest they concluded it was a concussion so i can’t argue from that. So as he took me along, I noticed that we went by a store that looked like it had a cookie roof or something. I say to myself as I read the sign and it said Sugar Cube Corner. Mental note: Go there sometime soon, the smells are delicious!

We went around another corner and up to the first door to the right. It was a little house. The pony walked up and looked under the pad to find the key.  He pulled it out and opened the door and carried me in. I was astonished as I seen many different baked goods all over.

The stallion dropped me off of his back and for the first time I was able to get a good look at him. He had a light blue coat with red hair, a ginger color so to speak. He was strong, I knew this because of the huge muscles on his body but the fact that he was able to carry me was amazing, well you know since I am a bit plump from being in the hospital for so long. I kept examining him and noticed the Lollipop cutie mark on his flank. He had purple eyes that were just way too dark to be a normal stallion. He notices that I was looking in his direction and he looked back at me trying to see if he did hurt me in any other way.

He looked satisfied and ran right into the kitchen. I was surprised by one thing, the sudden ‘Bang!’ that came from the kitchen. I coughed a bit to see if what i thought was true, and I was right! I can hear again! I heard an oven slamming and the fridge open. I had such a big smile over my face as I was overjoyed to hear things again, but also the smells that came from the kitchen were heavenly.

He quickly ran right back in with two plates of delicious smelling, good looking food. I started to drool just from the smell alone before he even dropped the plate onto my lap and I looked at it. It was a daffodil sandwich and had fried hay fries on the side. I smiled since i haven't had anything like this before, well all that I can remember of it at least. I picked it up and took a bite of it and right after that first bite, well lets just say I sorta went crazy.

Before I knew it everything on my plate was gone and i was just about to start taking bites of the actual plate when I heard the light blue stallion laugh. “Wow! Calm down! Here eat mine.” He says as he holds out his non-eatin sandwich at me. I stared at it.

“Really? You want me to eat your sandwich?”

He laughed and smiled, “So you can hear me now, thats good, but yea go ahead and eat it. I’m not hungry anyways.”

I take the sandwich out of his hoofs and start to eat it, slower than the first one, wondering why he was being so nice to me. “Thanks. This is......a really nice house you have here umm.....Mr......”

“I’m Sugar Rush!” he said now starting to bounce off the walls. “Who are you?!”

“I’m not really....sure who I am.” I said, “I can’t remember anything.”

Rush just stopped there dead in his tracks, “Wait....you mean....you can't remember anything?”

“I can remember just a few things...I was just taken out of the hospital and before I was there all I knew was that I had a camera. Thats it. Nothing about my past or my name. I don't even have a home....”

Sugar Rush instantly went right into my face staring right into my eyes, “That must be terrible!! Not being able to remember anything except for that little bit!! I have to help!” Right after he said that the timer went off of from the kitchen. This next part, is hard to say since how fast it went and how scared I was of my new friend.

He started to scream. Not like a scream in pain or a scream of fear, but a scream instead, for war. He jumped behind the couch dragging me along and started to talk about something about Zebra’s and how so many pony’s, even his commander, was dead and he wasn’t going to lose me too. He put his hooves to my chest like I was bleeding, calling out for somepony that wasn’t there.

This went on for a few more seconds as i felt tears hit my face. Now in his mind I must have died there because he wiped away the tears from his face as he grabbed an umbrella and started to act like it was a spear and threw it at his fine china set. I was surprised by how even a strong hit like that, it was perfectly fine. I then heard him from behind the couch a few minutes later after many more smashing of items, “My fellow soldiers! We have one this fight! We sh-” and with that i heard him stop and was getting his breath back to normal from the little exercsie.

I poked my head over the couch and seen him staring at the mess that he just made. He started to laugh. He was now bouncing of into the kitchen to turn the timer off. I slowly came out from behind the couch, scared if he thought that I was an enemy, but that thought went away when he came in with a cake. A delicious cake that had icing over it somehow, even tho it was in the oven a few moments ago.

_He laid a piece of the cake in front of me and brought out some tea and poured a coup for us both. With him apparently satisfied with the little setup he just made he sighed and looked at me, “I guess it’s time to explain what you just saw huh?”

I only nodded in agreement. It was a few years ago he told me as he was out in the war against the zebra’s for every other pony that couldn’t. Saying how he was one of the few that came out of the worst war we had in ages physically uninjured. He said because of the war however, he still goes into mental fit’s as if the war was still taking place and doing what he did when he was deployed.

Well that made sense to me so I took my very first bite of the cake he made as he kept telling the story. He told me that I was his best friend during that fit that died with all the rest of his segment that day. He said it was bad since his friend was about to retire the next day and was able to go back to his family and hope that we will win the war without him on the front lines.

I felt terrible listening to the rest of the story for it was so sad. He said that on the last week he was deployed he seen his best friends from his school years die in front of him by some form of smoke, and him not being able to do anything to help them in there time of need.

I looked down at the cake when he finished his story with him heading back home to see that his wife and kids were gone to another stallion and he now lived here, alone. I sighed as we both thought for a while after that sad tale. I finally was able to say, “Well...now you're not alone anymore. Well that is if you will let me stay here with you to keep you company, and hey like I said, I don't have a home at the moment.”

The smile that came onto his face told me that I said the right thing. “You're welcome to stay here as long as you want! Bad part is we both don't really know anything about you so... what should we call you, so we know you're being talked to?”

“Well....how about.....umm....” I said, trying to think.

Sugar Rush sat there for a few seconds after i was now just rambling off name’s, and then he gasped as he just realized something. “How about we go to someone that can use a spell on you to see if you can regain any of your memory!”

I stared at him, “Wait there’s pony’s here that can do spell’s?”

He stared at me dumbfounded, “Um.....yea there called unicorns. You really didn’t.....know about them?”

“No.” I said as I was trying to grasp the idea of unicorns, “I have only been around pony’s like me and you. I never been around a......unicorn.....”

“Wow...well I know a few unicorn’s around here like the fabulous Rarity down at Carousel Boutique. If she can’t help us I know she can tell us of some other’s around here.” Rush had said.

“Well alright then lead the way!” I said smiling to the idea of meeting some new pony’s around town.

Sugar Rush came outside of the door of his house and turned towards the direction of the store. He, for some reason, had some sort of scent coming off of him. He had told me to wait outside of the house for him so is that why? To put nasty smelling gunk on? It took him a full ten minutes before he even came out of that house! So is that really a reason why?

He had on some fancy clothes as well with the scent and that smell it literally, made me gag. I just had to ask, “What is the god awful scent that is coming from your body?”

He said sarcastically, “ Well Mistress Rarity need’s to know that there is some decent pony’s around once and awhile.” He tried to do a stupid sounding accent, probably trying to imitate the more classy ponies in Equestria

“I’m just wondering because of that stench is making me gag. Why did you put so much on?” I asked as my eyes were watering.

“I didn’t put too much on. I just put on as much as I always do and when she smells this cologne, well, the look in her eye’s tells me she loves the scent.”

I just watched him as he said that sentence and it dawned on me what was going on. I started to laugh softly to myself as we were coming closer to the store, now visible from the road. “Oh now I see!” laughing harder.

He was getting confused now, “What’s so funny?”

“I know exactly why you put so much of that gunk on you, you have some “feelings” for her don't you?”

He was now stumbling on his words with the biggest blush of the thought of Rarity, “I-i-i don’t h-have any feelings for her!”

I was laughing harder now. “I know you do! It’s written all over your face!” I knew I had him trapped. I laughed even harder, “Don’t worry about it.” I winked at him as we came to the door of the shop, “I won't say anything to her. I swear!”

He sighed in relief from the statement as we opened the door to the store and entered the room. Now I knew why Rush was so lovestruck from this unicorn. I stared at her for only a few second’s, but it felt like hour’s as I looked at her perfectly crafted mane and tail, with her luxurious coat from the sunlight. I couldn’t believe that something like her, was possible in this world.

“Oooh customers!” she said after she spun around and came over to us. “How may I help you young gentlecolts today?”

Rush and I had a difficulty speaking for a bit but I finally found my voice, “I’m wondering Miss Rarity if you could possibly help me out with your magic?”

Rarity said, “What type of help do you need with my magic?”

I looked over at Rush and said half heartedly, “Well i was wondering....if you could use your magic.....to bring back memory’s.”

Rarity stared at me for a bit and said in a guilt full tone, “Well I’m terribly sorry but I don't have that kind of magic. I only have a little bit of magic to help me make clothing” she puts her hoof to her face for a second before she adds on, “..Oooh! But my friend Twilight Sparkle may be able to help! She is, after all, the Element of Magic.”

By hearing that, I was overjoyed that I may be able to get some answers for all of my questions.

“Now is there anything else I could do to help you fine stallions today?”

I looked at Rush and It dawned on me I didn’t have anything on, even though it was common here not to normally wear something, I didn’t feel right. “Well Rush could it be possible if I.....borrow some money to get some clothes?”

He couldn’t take his eye’s off of Rarity and said in an agreeing tone, “Sure, don’t worry about it bud...” Drifting off into a little fancy world of who knows what.

I looked back at Rarity and smiled, “Well let’s make me some new clothes then! I don’t feel right looking like.....this....”

Rarity stared at me for a moment, “You're not from here are you?”

“No I’m not.” I said bluntly.

Rarity just smiled and brought me over to where she does all the prepping and measurements, “Don’t worry about it. I can make you some new clothes for nothing! Just count it as a treat alright?”

I looked at her as she was doing all her work and smiled, “Thanks thats....so nice of you to do!”

“Well I am the Element of Generosity after all.” She smiled as she went back to work. “And its the least i can do for a new friend.”

I couldn’t believe what she just said, a ‘New Friend’! This day is just getting better as she was now done with my getting the measurements for my chest
