To Remember

Sky woke up on the fourth day after waking from his two week long coma and on the third day he had a second mental break down when trying to remember what happened before the accident.

“How are you feeling this morning, I have your breakfast” Nurse Redheart walked into his room pulling a food cart with her.

“Head hurts again, and I’m a little tired, but other than that I feel ok” He muttered.

“Well, keep taking your medication and make sure it a good night of rest every night” She said softly as she pulled a small desk in front of him and set down the tray of ‘the delicious’ hospital food.

Nurse Redheart left him as he ate, and once he finished he pushed away the desk and sat in silence staring at the wall.

He closed his eyes and soon drifted into sleep.

<<<^>>>

Sky slowly woke up some hours later to see the desk was cleared and folded up next to his bed, so he pulled the blanket from himself with his right hoof.

He looked down to the rest of his left thigh and gave a sigh, but sometimes he wonders if he was always limbless, but according to Redheart they removed it.

He was alone for a few minutes until he came up with a idea, Sky turned around the best way not to hurt his injuries and pressed the emergency button. Almost immediately Redheart ran in looking around franticly.

“Are you ok, something wrong, are you hurt in anyway” She spoke a mile a minute.

“I’m fine I just wanted…”

“To have a little chat, you almost gave me a heart attack!”

“… I just wanted to visit the train station” He said it as if she had not said a thing.

“Oh, if you need you just had to ask, not use the emergency button” Redheart sighed.

“If you want to leave I need to check with the doctor and get you a few things” The nurse turned and left him alone once again.

She came back with two strange objects.

“Well, here we are you’re clear to leave, but you need these to walk” She showed him the objects.

One was a metal frame on a pair of wheels holding two leg braces, the second was long thin metal plate curved in a ‘U’ like shape with anther medical brace on the longer side of it.

Redheart first started by applying the blade leg to the rest of his left thigh the straps, and slowly rolled him from the bed.

“Careful now, there we go” She leaned him over on the bed, and wheeled over the hind-leg braces.

Redheart untied the straps on it and fit his legs into and tied them down.

“Ok everything looks good, I’m going to get another nurse who can take you over to the station I will see you when you get back”

She left the room again and returned shortly with a stallion who introduced himself as Needles he was a tall bulky orange stallion with short wavy dark yellow mane.

“Ok first time prosthetic is a little tricky but you will get used to it in no time, let’ start small try and walk to the door, I will be right here” He said with a deep voice.

Sky slowly took a step with his right leg then with the blade; he wobbled a little but held high and dragged the wheel brace behind him.

<<<^>>>

They two made it to the front door of the hospital with nothing major only he tripped up on the blade a few times but was slowly getting used to it.

“It’s a bit of a walk to the station, but we will make it there in no time” Needles said happily.

They walked down a old path to the town of ponieville, and he wondered if he had any ties to the town, but he wouldn’t know.

The pair walked down the main road of the town which was crowded with ponies who went along their daily business who all gave him strange looks and glances.

They walked along the road until he stopped in front of a tree turned home.

“What’s that?” Sky asked.

“That’s would be the ponyville library ran by Twilight Sparkle” He said in a hefty tone.

Sky gave it a look over before turning to main road and continued with Needles to the station on the far side of the town.

<<<^>>>

The two arrived at the wrecked train station.

The locomotive was still inside of the building on its side, and one of the passenger carts remained flipped over and crushed from something.

He walked up to the passenger cart and looked inside through one of the smashed windows, and inside the seats were scattered all over shards of glass were scattered  about luggage, trash, and metal pieces were hanging from the walls and what was the floor (now the ceiling) hooked on the seat bars.

“What happened, was I in this one?” Sky asked Needles who gave him a nod.

“Yea, you and six others, but three of them were killed on impact, you and the other three were painfully pulled out you being the worst” Needles said in a surprisingly soft voice.

“Who were the others that survived?” He asked

“A green earth pony, yellow and cyan Pegasus’s, and then you”

“So you’re that pony who was with us” A female’s voice came from behind him.

Sky turned around to a cyan Pegasus who had several bandages around her legs, wings, and chest area.

He saw her and looked at her for a minute, he knew her… wait he DID now her.

He remembered, he was on the train from Canterlot, but was he on it before it arrived? It doesn’t matter, he saw himself sitting there on the train looking out over the landscape with the Pegasus next to him they were talking and as the train started to arrive, and she said her name was…was…

“Rainbow Dash…I remember you, you were on the train with me” It was like a dam collapsing on a overflowing river.

“Yea that’s me…was that because of the crash?” She asked pointing to his blade leg, and wheel braces.

“Yes, it was a big shocker” As big of a shock to throw him into a mental break down.

“Oh…sorry” She looked saddened.

Its fine…” He thought for a moment. “Did I say my name?” Sky asked the mare.

“No you were about to when the train flipped, why?”

“I can’t remember anything, not a single thing, hit my head pretty bad” He said.

“Oh dang, well that’s a…”Everything went black.

<<<^>>>

Sky woke up in the hospital bed; Redheart was standing over him with Rainbow Dash and a lavender unicorn behind her.

“W-What happened?” He asked softly.

“Well it looks like you are suffering from narcolepsy, when you collapsed Needles picked you right up and took you right back here” Redheart stated.

“Who are you?” Sky looked to the lavender unicorn.

“Oh, sorry my name is Twilight Sparkle, I saw you being carried away with Rainbow” She had a soft caring voice.

“What’s your name?”She added.

“I-I don’t know, but you can call me Sky” He stuttered.

“Oh I’m sorry I didn’t know” Twilight looked ashamed.

“It’s alright”

“Well it has been a long day for you and you need to rest I will have somepony check on you in the morning, I’m off tomorrow” Redheart took a few steps from his bed

They said their goodbyes and left him to his sleep.
