The mane six all stepped away from Twilight's bed slowly. "…How can she be an Alicorn?" Rarity asked. "Aren't the princesses the only known Alicorns in Equestria?"

The Alicorn in question was purple, with her mane and tail being of a darker, yet similar shade that spiked out from her forehead. Her mane hung onto one side of her neck by a small green hairtie. There were large, singular gold rings around her front hooves, and orange shoes with red tape run around them on her back hooves. The strangest thing by far about this mare, however, was that her horn was a bright red and her wings were a light green.

Rainbow flew silently over her and studied her face. The wings and horn seemed to be the only abnormalitie, as far as she could tell.

At least, they were until the Alicorn opened her mouth in a sleeping yawn and revealed the sharp canid teeth she had, causing Rainbow to fly backwards quickly, straight into a wall. A bookshelf along the wall lost a few of its contents, and as they clattered to the floor, the Alicorn sat straight up like a bolt, her eyes wide open… which caused the others to take yet another step back.

Her pupils were slit, like a dragon's, and they were as bright of a red as her horn; they almost seemed to glow.

None of the seven ponies moved, until…

"…U-umm… where am I?" the Alicorn said quietly, looking around the room, before raising her hooves to her face. "WHAT am I…?"

Bravely, wilight tooks a step forward. "Y-You're in my library, in Ponyville. And, you're a pony…an Alicorn to be more precise."

Said Alicorn blinked, confused, before slowly moving out of the bed and standing on all four hooves. She walked toward the others, one hoof at a time, as if she was unconfident with her balance. When she was 3 feet from the six, she stopped and looked at them all in turn… before losing her footing and falling onto her stomach. Scared, but still showing off her Element of Harmony, Fluttershy rushed over and helped her up.

"T-Thank you… it's weird. You said I'm a pony," the Alicorn said, turning to look at Twilight," but, walking on hooves just… doesn't feel natural for some reason…" she finished, shaking her head.

Now that she was standing again (with Fluttershy's help), she was just about an inch shorter than the others, and her voice convinced them that she had been a filly until only a few years ago. She turned to Fluttershy.

"Thanks again," she said quietly, "I don't think I'll be able to stand on my own for a while… Um, if you don't mind me asking, what's your name?" she turned to the others. "What are ALL your names?" Rainbow glared at her. "Why don't you tell us YOUR name first?" she said with suspicion.

The Alicorn looked down, appearing to be deep in thought. After a minute or two, she looked up again, a look of horror on her face. "…I-I don't know…" she whispered. "I can't remember…" Her eyes began to water as she said, "I-I don't remember ANYTIHNG…"

Fluttershy gasped. "Oh my goodness, that's terrible! You poor thing! No wonder you can't walk properly!" Realizing what she'd said, Fluttershy grew frantic. "Oh dear, I-I'm so sorry! I didn't mean – I wasn't suggesting –." The Alicorn laughed spritely.

"Don't worry, I understand, " she said meekly. "I-It's okay…really!" She shifted her footing, and sat on her flank. Turning back to Fluttershy, she again asked politely for names. Applejack smiled kindly and walked over. Taking her hat off and bowing slightly, she said, "Applejack's the name. Pleasure tah meet'cha!" Twilight came next.

"My name is Twilight Sparkle."

"And you said this place is yours?" the Alicorn said, excited.

Twilight laughed. "That's right. The library that I mentioned? It's downstairs." Pinkie hopped over.

"Hi! I'm Pinkie Pie! I helped carry you here. You're really light, you know?" She giggled. "Anyway, even though you know my name and I don't know your name, we can still be friends, right? Please, oh PLEASE say yes!" she finished, jumping up and down in her usual fashion.

The Alicorn was flustered. "O-Oh, um, y-yeah, sure!" she laughed nervously and rubbed the back of her head. Pinkie hopped cheerfully back over toward the others, as Rarity stepped forward.

"It's a pleasure to meet you," she said. "My name is Rarity. And, might I say, " she ran a hoof above the girl's mane," that your mane is truly exquisite! It looks incredibly well-taken-care-of." The Alicorn smiled shyly.

"Ah, t-thank you," she said. "Very much." She then turned to Rainbow Dash. "And, you?"

Said Pegasus simply crossed her hooves across her chest and turned away. "I don't have to answer that," she said as she flew over to the books that she'd knocked down earlier and started to place them back on their respective shelves.

Twilight sighed. "Her name's Rainbow Dash," she said angrily. Rainbow glared at Twilight, but continued to fix the bookcase. The Alicorn flinched, despite not being part of the conversation. She turned to Fluttershy. "What about you?" the yellow Pegasus jumped slightly.

"Oh, um, w-well, it-it's nice to meet you. Though, I guess you've kinda met me already, sort of; I-I mean, since I helped you and all and - …" Fluttershy looked down, her face red at being unable to simply introduce herself without going on a tangent.

"M-My name's Flu….." she said, hiding her face with her hoof.

Rarity sighed. "I'm sorry, she's rather quiet. Her name is –"
"Fluttershy, right?" the Alicorn said, cocking her head to the right slightly. "That's what I heard her say. At least, that's what I THINK she said…" she turned to said Pegasus. "is that your name? Ms. Fluttershy?"

The others had never seen Fluttershy's face get so red before; she clearly wasn't used to being addressed as "Ms."-anything. She nodded quickly and flew downstairs as fast as her wings would take her. Suddenly, they heard two "Oof!"s, and Spike walked dizzily into the room.

"Oh, Spike?" Twilight said. "Where've you been?" Spike shook his head to chase away the stars in his vision. He opened his mouth to answer, and noticed the young mare sitting in the middle of the floor. "Wha -… who…?" he asked. He shook again, before turning back to Twilight.

"Umm, I was taking a walk. It took longer than I thought, sorry.. It's kinda cloudly, and a bit cold, so…" Applejack huffed. "Rainbow, ain't it yer job tah clear the sky today?"

In the background, the Alicorn flinched. Trembling, she turned to Applejack. "I-I'm sorry, but… what did you say…?" By now she was visibly shaking, Fluttershy peeked her head into the room from her hiding spot on the staircase at the sound of the Alicorn's voice.

Applejack was taken aback. "I-I jes' said, it's Rainbow Dash's job tah clear the sky a- ."

On the word "sky", the Alicorn's eyes flashed a bright green, similar to her wing color. She floated an inch or so above the ground, before landing on all four hooves and ceasing to glow. Slowly, she looked up at the others, who had shrunk against the opposite wall in fear.

"I remember now!" she cried happily. "My name… my name is Sky!"
