Book the Eleventh AKA Mission Time!

Plans were quickly made and we quickly returned to Ponyville. On the way back Twilight and the others reread the transcript of what went on in the throne room. The Knight, thus named by The Doctor and agreed upon by the others, would patrol as much of Equestria as possible and, in the off chance he found other humans, he would try and get them to join him in defending Earth (fancy that, and here I was expecting something pony-related). I had prepared a mental note for Violet when Luna had somewhat surprised me by offering me a position as an adviser. I refused, surprise creeping into my voice. The others glared at me after that, Dash probably made a snide comment about me. I ignored it because Celestia seemed to understand, and we had headed back soon after that. The only ones that didn't look at me in disgust were Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy, who I swear doesn't have a mean bone in her body. They looked at me somewhat apologetic for their friends.

We arrived at the train station and they said their goodbyes to each other, getting a little nod from both Pinkie and Fluttershy as they headed of. Fluttershy and Rainbow went off together, Pinkie, Rarity, and Applejack went off in their respective homes, and Twilight went off by herself towards her home. The Doctor began walking back to the Police Box, and I began after him. After a few steps I turned around and said to The Doctor, “Leave the door unlocked will you? Thanks.” And with that I turned and galloped after Twilight. The Doctor gave a small acknowledgment and continued on his way.

Twilight turned to see who who was following her, and upon seeing who was following her, turned back in the direction she was walking and continued. I was slightly annoyed at her treatment of me, but I understood her reasoning, I had just refused a request from Luna, a princess. The annoying part was that she wasn't even going to listen to my reasons, or reason, in this case, as in one. “Oh come on Twilight, at least listen to what I have to say,” I whined. Great now I whine. She looked back and I could see the slight anger behind her eyes. I cringed a bit but stood firm. “Fine,” she replied, “If only to get you to stop following me.” I sighed at my success and began my explanation. “An old friend of mine said once that power corrupts. I just don't want anything about me to change. You must know what it's like to change.” She turned fully around and started walking back towards me. “What makes you think that I have changed. Maybe I've always been like this, huh? You just can't say things like that and just expect everything to turn out all-right. Luna asked for your help and you give a stupid reason like that? And to think you saved the town. Was there another motive for that as well? What about meeting us? What about meeting your old friend? Was that all planed?”

I sighed at the barrage of questions. It was going to be a long night. “Yes, that's the only reason I turned Luna's request down was that stupid reason. And I happen to know more about you than you know, from the short time I've known you. Discord isn't the only tricky one. You know full well what I said in the throne room was a lie. Why didn't you tell your friends? Did you just want your precious notes to be worth the writing you did? Your friends might not have noticed the memory spell but I did. No I didn't plan on meeting any of you, why because you are the most infuriating group I have ever had the misfortune to meet. The only ponies tolerable in your little save the world group are Pinkie and Fluttershy. You rely on books too much, Rainbow is too much of a braggert, AppleJack is too much of a “hoofs on” kind of girl, and Rarity, while her heart is in the right place, is too fashion oriented. I liked meeting my old friend here and,” I felt a sharp pain in my head, “Ahhhh. Stop it Twilight this isn't helping your case!” I managed to open my eyes against the pain and saw Twilight rush over to me with a concerned look, and that leaked into her voice, “Are you alright? Can I do anything?”

“Fine, I'm . . . fine,” I gritted through the pain putting a fake smile on. Another flash of pain and I felt cold.

I definitely passed out because I woke up in the hospital. Ditzy, The Doctor, and Violet were there as well as Fluttershy, which really kinda freaked me out to tell the truth. They were surprised when I awoke. Kinda the jump up out of bed in shock. I was partially glad that I hadn't shifted into my human form while unconscious. After the initial shock of discovering I was unconscious I thought back to what happened to me. Twilight hadn't done anything to me, but I felt a strong mark on my brain from whatever had caused my pain. After some initial tests from the doctors to determine that I was in my right mind, I exited the hospital still feeling a little weak. Thankfully, Violet was able to assist me. We talked a bit and the others told me that Pinkie would probably throw another party for me, which I then asked Fluttershy if she told Pinkie what I had said to her during the first party. She looked away and I heard a small noise that had confirmed what I had thought. We parted ways after agreeing not to tell Pinkie until the next day. We began the walk back to the TARDIS as we talked, about what I missed while I was asleep.

We entered the control room and The Doctor preformed a scan with both the Sonic Screwdriver and the TARDIS internal sensor array. Neither scan showed anything but I began to think. Something was different, that was obvious. But what it was I was beginning to find out. Some thing was different, a memory, something that wasn't there before. The memory was of a sky blue unicorn filly talking to me. The memory hadn't implanted itself into my head, probably because I was a human, but it was in my mind. I voiced my concern to The Doctor. “Well, I'm not a unicorn. I recommend we get one's help with this one,” was the reply, which figured. The one pony I was not looking forward to seeing and we had to see her. I sighed and nodded and moved to the door. Thankfully, my strength had returned by now. I looked back at The Doctor, and with a sigh said, “See ya.” With that I left the TARDIS. Not knowing what the future had in store for me.

I was outside the tree that served as both Twilight's home and the library, and with a deep breath, knocked on the door. I counted myself lucky when Spike opened the door. “Uh, hey Spike,” I started, “could I look at a book. And all this without alerting Twilight?” He stared at me like I was insane. I chuckled nervously, “I'm just kidding about the whole not alerting Twilight, I am probably going to need her.” He looked at me slightly less like I was insane. He nodded though and let me in. “What book do you need,” Spike asked. A fair question, and I answered, “A book about memory spells.” He stopped and looked at me like I spoke in another language, “What,” was all he was able to ask. I looked at him understandingly. “You heard right, I want to read up on the subject of memory spells.”

“Spike, who's here? YOU,” I was slightly startled to have been shouted at. I looked up and smiled sheepishly at her and waved. She walked down the stairs and stood in front of me. I scuffed my hoof on the floor and said, “I guess I should thank you for taking me to the hospital.” She blushed and said, “No problem.” A confused look crossed her face, “What do you need? I don't think you would go out of your way for just a thank you.” I smiled at that and said, “Your starting to get me. I need your help, I believe that someone added some memories to me. I know this because they were inserted but failed to connect.” Ok so I lied, I thought it would work, and work it did. “Alright. Who is the pony your remembering?” (Twilight, in case it wasn't obvious) I thought back to the only memory I had for her, and I began, “A mare, sky blue, The other parts are somewhat of a blur. And she had a fancy cape and hat lined with stars.”

Twilight immediately looked at me and said, “That would be Trixie. She's a performer. She stayed in the town a night a while ago. She made some pretty big boasts. And then a Ursa Minor attacked the town. I stopped it and she left town.” I nodded and thought for a moment. “Twilight,” I began, “do you think that you could find out where she's at.” She looked at me slightly worried, “Why would you want to help her?” She gave me a look that told me all I needed. My argument from the last heated argument. I nodded and said, “She might be in trouble, and I believe that it's my duty to help any-pony in need, regardless of what I think.” She nodded and focused and map flew from one of the shelves and landed on the table. Soon a pink blot showed up around a small city called trottingham. I nodded and stated, “Thanks Twilight, I'm going to borrow the map. If I'm wrong, and I hope I am, I will assist you in anything you might need an extra set of hooves for.” Twilight gave me a look that was a mix of amusment and concern and asked, “And if your right?” I thought for a moment, and finally declared, “If I'm right, we forget the whole conversation a few nights ago.” She thought for a moment and finally nodded. We shook hooves and I managed to buy some supplies off of her. And with that I set of for my next destination.
