"Come on!".
I open my eyes to see that I was on cloud, and that I was not far from falling a twenty feet drop. I jump in fright and nearly fall off the cloud.
"Come on, you aren't scared are you ~~@$*£!~~!?".
I look up from the drop and see a changeling in front of me, he was flying in the air trying to convince me to do something.
"Come on ~~@$*£!~~, show me what you got!".
What was that? All I heard was static. My legs started to tremble, fear had striked my body, I couldn't move.
"But I'm too scared bro..." I say.
Was that me, I sound like a filly, was this the moment of weakness I was talking about?
"Come on, I know you can do it, you just gotta believe in yourself!".
I looked down from the cloud, I started to feel dizzy and sick. I looked at my brother to see him making hoof gestures to make me jump off the cloud.
I take a deep breath, and jump, but only to grab underneath of the cloud making it flip with me on top of it again with my face deep inside of it.
I take my head out of the cloud to see my brother landing near me and looking down at me. He looked disappointed, which made me sad.
My brother sighed, "Ah well you may get it next time, come on get on my back".
I climb onto my brothers back, and he takes off.
"How ironic, with a name like ~~@$*£!~~ you'd think you would learn how to fly in an instant" says my brother chuckling.
There it goes again, the static, what's going on? I suddenly feel a sharp pain going through my arm, like a shockwave.
"Hey, are you okay?" asks my brother.
My brother's voice soon turns into an innocent little filly voice with a thick accent, I finally open my eyes to see a filly right above me.
"Hey mister! You okay?".
I let out a scream, and jump out of the dog basket, only to collapse onto the floor.
"Oh, I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to scare yer!".
I turn to the filly, she had a red mane with vanilla coated skin.
"I don't believe it, you really are one of them changeling fellers!" shouts the filly, "I can't wait to tell Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle!".
She's excited to see me here? That was unexpected, I expected terror, because well, I can't really say I'm dashingly handsome.
Applebloom then sees the blood drenched dog basket, and her expression changes instantly.
"Oh my, what happened to ya? You need a doctor!" says Applebloom also spotting my cuts and bruises now.
"I can't, they wont accept someone like me, they only accept ponies don't they? I doubt they have a Changeling hospital".
the filly holds her chin and thinks.
"Hey, can't you changeling folk use that special morphing power?".
Oh Celestia of course! How stupid am I?
I quickly think of a pony design and change into it, I decided to have a orient coat, a cararra mane with orient stripes going through it and crystal blue eyes.
"Cool! Now that we have that covered, how are we going to get you to the hospital?".
the filly thinks again.
"I know!".
That didn't take her long.
"I can borrow one of granny smiths wheelchairs, I'll be right back!".
the filly runs out of the door, but to my surprise comes back.
"By the way, what's your name mister?" asks the filly.
"My name? My name is...".
There was a silence. The little filly looked at me with confusion.
"What is it? What's wrong?" asks the filly.
I might as well tell her, she's doing so much for me already.
"Well you see, I can't exactly remember my name, I can't really remember anything to be exact".
"Oh... I'm sorry to hear that, but don't worry! I'm gonna help you get ya memory back, I promise!" says the filly with great determination.
I look at the filly grinning, I smile back, I don't know if she can really help me really cure my memory loss or not, but I should at least encourage her a bit.
"Okay, thank you miss?".
"Applebloom! Nice to meet ya, ya know you changeling folk don't seem as bad as most pony folk say".
What? Have I missed something, what did we do?
"You need a name too...".
Applebloom looks around her clubhouse. Please don't tell me she's going to name me after an inanimate object. Applebloom looks through the windows, it looks like shes looking at water dropping from a leaf.
"I know what I'll call you! Since it was raining yesterday night, I'll call you Rain!" says Applebloom looking pretty pleased with herself that she just thought of that name.
Well, at least it isn't Raindrop, that sounds more like a mares name, but I'll just go with Rain for now.
"I'll be back in about..." Applebloom looks at her fake drawn on watch, "20 minutes, see ya!" shouts Appleblooms running off.
Thank Celestia, no offense, she's a good kid, but I need some space, I didn't really have time to relax since I was stressing about finding a place to sleep.
I drag myself to chair and mange to pull myself up so I could sit on it. I look down onto the floor to see a trail of blood beneath me. I'm starting to feel a bit woozy, I better take it easy.
What was that dream about, I didn't even know I had a brother. If so I have to find him, he maybe my only chance on finding out who I truly am.
Once my wounds have healed up I'm gonna search a few towns, but I'm gonna have to make some money if I plan on doing anything.
Applebloom then came rushing in the clubhouse with a wheelchair.
"Come on, you're looking pretty pale, we should get you to the hospital as quickly as possible!".
I got from the chair and limped to the chair.
"I understand, but can we go a little easy, I feel pretty-".
Applebloom pushes the wheelchair as fast as she can, sending me and the wheelchair flying out the front door, down the stairs, the way down was a pretty bumpy ride.
I finally got to the bottom of the stairs, I felt like throwing up and I was about to pass out. Applebloom started to push me again.
"Applebloom...".
My vision slowly starts to fade out, Appleblooms voice now sounds faint, and now it feels like I hear the inside of my heard, my thoughts echoing inside like it was a hallway of thoughts.
Finally, everything went dark...

A burst of light filled my eyes, like I just came out of a cave. But where I found myself was not at an exit of a cave, infact I was lying comfortably on a hospital bed, near a opened window.
A nice breeze collided with my face, making my entire body feel relaxed. Wow, I haven't experienced this kind of comfort since...
I'm then filled with great sadness, my body becomes more tensed than relaxed now.
I sighed and looked out the window, I see a old mare and her carer in the garden conversing, little fillies playing catch and two old colts playing chest.
Finally I spot a couple on a bench, the mare was snuggling on the stallions shoulder.
Suddenly I didn't find myself in a hospital bed, but in rather in someone else's bed.
A mare changeling beyond beautiful like no one I ever encountered appeared at the door. She gave one hell of a seductive look. It was like I was under her spell, I just couldn't look away from her.
She slowly walked towards me, but I still had eye contact with her, she had the eyes of a wild hungry beast. She then started to crawl on the bed, and finally she was on top of me.
My heart was beating furiously, like a stamped of sheep running from a dog. She got closer to me, still giving me that look of hunger. Soon our lips connected, and we were making love.

I found myself back in the hospital soon after, trying to wrap my head around what I just witnessed. Who was that mare? Was she my marefriend? Maybe even my wife? I didn't know what to think of it.
All I know is she was one of the most beautiful mares I've ever laid eyes on, maybe it was when I was in my college years and I just slept with any random Pony.
It was Applebloom holding a basket, she says hello with gritted teeth, so it was hard to make out what she was saying. She puts her basket on the desk near me and jumps on my bed.
"Hey Rain," shouts Applebloom, "I was so worried about you are you okay?".
"Well, you are you standing on my broken hind leg at the moment so I can't be sure" I say trying to hide the pain in my voice.
"Applebloom get off the poor colt, he's in enough pain!".
Now that's a voice I haven't heard before, but from the sounds of it she was a mare and she had a thick accent like Applebloom.
I turned to the entrance to my room to see a orange mare with freckles, a blonde mane tied into a long ponytail, wearing a desperado like cowboy hat.
"Sorry about her, she can be a little careless sometimes" says the mare looking at Applebloom disappointed.
"Don't worry about it. By the way where am I?" I said looking around the room.
"You're in Ponyville's finest local hospital, I'm surprised Applebloom took you all the way from the Everfree forest to here".
I'm surprised too, that little fillies got a lot of energy inside of her.
"Oh where's my manners, my names Applejack, I run Apple Acres along with my brother Big Mac, my Granny Smith and I believe you've already met Applebloom my little sister".
"That's quite a large family you got there" I say.
"You ain't seen nothing yet" said Applebloom chuckling along with Applejack.
There's more? I don't even wanna know how many more there are.
"Also I'm terribly sorry about your wing Mister Rain" says Applejack taking her hat off and placing it on her chest, "The doctors said there was nothing they could do".
"My wing?" I say a bit confused.
Applebloom and Applejack look at each other and then look my wings. I turn my neck around to see that my wing had been amputated, which freaked me out a lot.
Applejack takes her hat off and places it on her chest.
"The bone was sticking out and they had to perform surgery quickly on you, you was losing a lot of blood, if it wasn't for Applebloom here you might of bled to death".
"Well, at least you have your leg right?" says Applebloom obviously trying to cheer me up, but I guess she was right, I would much rather lose my wing then lose a leg.
I take another look at my wing. I can't believe this, why has this happened to me, has Celestia truly forsaken me? Am I tainted with just bad luck?
I let out a sigh and flop my head back onto the pillow, staring into clear space.
"I think we should leave Rain alone Applebloom, come on..." says Applejack guiding Applebloom out of the room.
I then hear footsteps heading towards my door, and I'm yet greeted by another visitor.
"Applejack, is everything okay?" says the mare visitor.
"Don't worry Twi, he's alright".
Twi? I look at the entrance door again to see Applejack conversing with a purple pony. I looked at the purple pony a while longer, feeling strangely attached to her. Suddenly everything flashes again.

I find myself in the middle of a battle field, filled with many changelings running all around me, flying in from all directions. In front of me I see the purple pony who was conversing with Applejack, I run towards at her full speed.
She doesn't suspect me and I tackle straight into her. I hold my hooves against her, she struggles to get me off. But unexpectedly she uses her magic to knock me off. She sends me spiraling backwards into a wall.
My vision goes fuzzy but soon recovers. I look up from the floor to see Applejack charging straight towards me, but then cuts out with Applejack in the hospital walking quickly towards me.
"Rain whats wrong?!" shouts Applebloom panicking.
"I think he's going into cardiac arrest!" yells the purple pony.
"Somepony get a doctor!" shouts Applejack at the nurses.
Suddenly I find myself back in the battlefield, with Applejack inches away from me. She charges right into my stomach with her shoulder, leaving me hardly able to breathe.
Applejack runs away while I collapse onto the floor. I slowly lose conscious, and start to slowly black out. I raise my head from the concrete floor and look at Applejack running away to a group of mares.
I blink to see nurses bringing a supply of oxygen while a doctor comes in with a breathing mask. I then see Applebloom looking over me tearing up.
"Don't die Rain, please don't die...".
