Odd Beat

At a mental health institution... somewhere...

Two ponies were walking down a corridor to check up on their patient. One was a nurse who was fairly new to the institution, while the other was a doctor.

"So, do you think she will be alright?" the nurse asked the doctor.

"She doesn't have any violent tendencies, can communicate quite well with others, and she is overall perfectly fine. I see no problem with letting her back into society." The doctor responded to the nurse.

They arrived at the cell, and the nurse peered inside of it. She saw the patient, a Miss Odd Rhythm. She was a pegasus mare with a blue coat and a long, straight blue mane (same color as her coat) with a natural pink highlight. She had pink eyes, and her cutie mark is a pair of pink headphones. She was also in a straitjacket, though it was never tied,but not from lack of trying, she can't bear to keep it on and nopony knows how she manages to take it off, nor who keeps putting a straitjacket on her, since she does not need it.

She was currently throwing herself against thewalls since they were padded.

"She acts like a filly." The nurse said. This got Rhythm's attention.

"Hi Nurse Bleeding Heart! Hi Doctor Brainscan!" She said to the two medical ponies, "Are we going to try another medicine today? Or are we going to try to get me to help with kitchen duty again? I don't want to try the last one, especislly after what happened last time..." She rubbed her neck near the scar from when she somehow dropped a knife in such a way that it nearly sliced her head off trying to cut a tomato.

"Um, no, dear, we are letting you out." Nurse Bleeding Heart said as she opened the door, "You aare leaving the institution today."

"What? But I don't have a bit to my name! I have nowhere to live! I have no job! What will I do?" Rhythm asked.

"We already thought about that. A new home in Ponyville has been purchased as well as the first month of bills," Doctor Brainscan began to explain, "You will have one month to get a job to support yourself. Don't worry, we will visit you once a month and you can take your little dolly with you."

"Okay..."

Ponyville... At a house a single block south of Sugarcube Corner.

"So, this is the place?" Odd Rhythm asked. They were in front of a nice little house, it could fit the average pony pretty well, and the wide doorways would allow her to fly through the house if she pleased.

"Yes." The Doctor said. "You have a full supply of food, a tv, a radio,and the normal necessities, and some spare bits. Remember, you will have to get a job, and be sure to make some friends!"

"Okay!"

And so she got comfortable in her home!

"Hmmm... what should I do? And why am I thinking out loud?" Odd Rhythm asked herself. She decided to make friends.

She walked outside, and saa a pink pony, she seemed nice.

Rhythm walked up to her, and said "Hi, my name is Odd Rhythm, I'm new to town and-"

"*GAAAAAAAAAAAAAASP*" The pink pony gasped, then ran off so fast that if you blinked you would have missed it... and Rhythm blinked.

"What just happened?" Rhythm asked herself.

"That's just Pinkie Pie, the premier party pony of Ponyville." A light purple unicirn nearby said. "My name is Twilight Sparkle, I belive you said you were Odd Rhythm? Judging by the fact that you don't know Pinkie, and Pinkie knows everybody in town, you are ew here?"

"Yes, I am new to town, in fact I haven't been in town for a full 15 minutes." Rhythm said.

"Well, let me show you around town!"

They spent the day visiting various ponies around town, as well as various locations. They finally make it back Rhythm's house...

"That was an awesome day! Who knew there was so much to do in Ponyville? Even from the sky this place is tiny!" Rhythm said as they reached her place again.

"Yeah, that was my reaction when I first moved here!" Twilight said. "You know, this day would make for a great friendship report to the princess!"

"You know the princess?" Rhythm asked Twilight as they walked into the door.

"ow... yes, I am her private student. We should probably open the door before we walk through it." Twilight explained to Rhythm.

"Woah! That is so cool!" Rhythm said as she walked through the door after opening it this time. "I just lived in a mental institutio-"

"SURPRISE!" The entire bucking town said as they jumped from behind furniture.

"GAH!" Rhythm exclaimed, not expecting a party.

"Yeah, that happened to me too." Twilight said.

"Welcome to Ponyville, Odd Rhythm!" Pinkie Pie said to Rhythm.

"Hi." Rhythm said.

Party time! After the party, once everypony (Except Twilight and Pinkie Pie, since they decided to help clean up) left...

"So, where did you say you used to live?" Twilight asked as she levitated some paper cups into the trash can.

"I lived in a mental health institution." Rhythm said as she picked up a dropped napkin.

"What for? Delusions? OCD? Multiple personalities?" Pinkie asked.

"Schizophrenia." Rhythm said.

"I don't know what that is." Pinkie said.

"I hear voices, but i ignore them. Think imaginary friends but can't control what they are like and can't exactly tune them out." Rhythm explained. "At least, that's what I think Schizophrenia was."

"So you are crazy?" Pinkie asked.

"Pinkie! That was rude to sa-" Twilight said before Odd Rhythm cut her off.

"Yep."
