I woke up, but didn't open my eyes. I was in a bed that's for sure.....but It wasn't mine. I head a lot of people talking, and I could only identify Celestia's, Luna's and Twilight's voices. So I decided to listen.

"Are you sure she is the one, princess?" asked Twilight in a worried tone.

"There is no other with such a resemblance to..*sob*..to..Wave" said Celestia. Knowing she was a princess who never showed much emotion it must be someone she really cared about because after that she broke down crying. I wanted to comfort her but that meant letting them know I was awake. So let out a large fake yawn. And opened my eyes.
All eyes turned to me.I was in a white room with one-two doctors rushing around. My bed was huge for a hospital. I wasn't stupid I was probably in the castle hospital. But just to be sure and they expected the question so who am I to deny the princesses expectations?
"Where am I?" I asked. Looking at everyone. Celestia didn't have tears on her cheeks anymore and Twilight didn't look worried. 'wow their fast in composing themselves'. Luna looked to see but I knew Celestia wasn't in any state to talk and Twilight, because she's worried her voice would crack.

"We're in the castle hospital." she said. 'Duh'. Now a question that will actually make some progress..

"Why am I here?" I asked. Luna stiffened. But Celestia was ready to take over the conversation.

"First of all did you notice your change?" she asked. I nodded 'So I'm here so they can see how or why it happened'.

"Do you know why those changes happened?" she continued.

"No I don't, princess" I answered.

"Are you well enough to get out of bed?" she asked.

"How did I come here?" I asked.

" A few ponies found you on the shore thinking you were drowned, but you had a flower in your hair called a shield amulet. So nobody could come with in 2 meters from you. They got worried but couldn't get past to you. So they called your friends to see if they could help. But not even Twilight was able to get past it.So she sent us a letter. But even I alone couldn't get past. So me and Luna and Twilight combined our powers and just barely turned off the amulet. And we brought you here." she answered. 'Wow I bet mr. dreamy gave it to me'.
"Yeah I think I'm feeling good enough to go out" I said with a smile that she returned. I got out of the bed. And followed her to the garden, which was at full bloom. Then Celestia giggled.
"I bet you haven't seen your whole transformation. Because you won't stop till at least 48 hours that will pass in one minute" she said. And she led me to a creek. I looked at my reflection and almost fainted.
My hair was even longer then before if that were possible and looked as if it had a glittering pink cloud around it. My horn had silver swirls around it. And my tail was hanging to the ground like the shape of a waterfall. My fur turned slightly paler. Then as the last minute went by one tiny silver star formed on my coat at the end of my eye.
"Do you know why your cutiemark disappeared a few days back?" she asked. I shook my head making slight ripples in my mane.Literally ripples. then she continued - "Well when an alicorn is born she is born with either a really weak horn or a really week set of wings. And then she gets her first cutie mark. But it's not like others it's simply temporary. Then when the pony gets older she becomes bored of her talent and a total screw up up at at too. Then the cutiemark disappears. And the transformation in to an alicorn begins. First the horn starts to form or if that's what you had before become much stronger. Then your wings start to form or if you already have them strengthen and lengthen. And then all the decor and earth pony magic comes in." she explained. But something still isn't answered.
"I thought that only royalty were alicorns and I'm not royalty." I whispered, looking down at my reflection.
" How are you so sure? Do you know who your parents are?" she asked looking quite ashamed of herself.
"No, I was brought up in a Cloudstale orphanage. My wings were the weakest so I always got made fun of all the time. My only friend was Rainbow dash. " I said thinking about my horror days. But then I noticed a tear trickle down Celestia's face who was looking even guiltier. 'I wonder why?'.
"Well it's dinner time" she said. Just then I noticed that Luna's moon was high in the sky. 'What ? I'm royalty? no. maybe. What will my cutie mark will be? Because Celestia is in charge of the day, Luna-night, Candace- in charge of crystals. Why did Celestia look so guilty? What was Tropic's cutie mark? Did he give me the amulet? Why did he if he did? Where does he always disappear? Why does he sing to me instead of saying goodbye?..........................' and millions of questions more swirling around my head. I was tempted to ask might as well do but I'll leave out the questions with Tropic in them.
"All shall be answered in due time" she said as if reading my mind. 'I knew she would say that!' . Mental sigh. But followed her in the castle, while looking back for the last time at my reflection.
When we got to the dinner table everybody was looking at me. My face was on fire. I looked down Celestia noticed this and whispered to me gently :
"It alright when I was your age I was scared of attention too, but ...". I didn't notice anything else she said. Because I saw my friends and went over to them.
"Hi, guys! What are you doing here?" I said, happiness radiating off my face. But they just looked at me confused. But then Pinky spoke up.
"Hi! We're here to see Fluttershy we heard the news and rushed over as fast as we possibly can. No not like a can because that means we rolled here. And the only rolling we did was when I saw this huge hill and I was like what a perfect rolling place. The others just walked a lot. Which is super-duper boring for me. Doesn't it seem crazy that they'd want to walk so much? I mean bouncing, rolling and dancing here is way more fun! Don't you think? and Mph-mph..." she chatted until Rainbowdash put a hoof in her mouth.
"I think what Pinkie is trying to say is that we are looking for Fluttershy and were wondering if you know where she is" said RD. 'wait ! what!'.
"Um Rainbow I'm Fluttershy" I whispered hoping they'd believe me, but now I noticed even my voice has changed a bit it sounded softer then usual. They looked at me up and down trying to figure if I was telling the truth or pulling there hooves.
"Ha! Good joke! New princess. Now can you tell us?" said AJ. 'They don't believe me, they don't know me anymore'. I started to tear up and ran out of the palace and sat under a willow by the creek. And started to full on cry. 'It wasn't fair I lost my friends all because I got a horn'.
Celestia sat down beside me and put her wing around my shoulders and held me close stroking my mane softly.
"I know it gets hard at first but don't worry if you want I can go talk to them?" she asked. 'Boy, if somebody saw us they would've thought that this is saw a mother-daughter moment'.
"Yes, please . Thank you princess Celestia" I said and she smiled and said:
"Ok, goodnight little princess" she said. 'Yes, high-five for me. One question answered. I guess I am royalty'. I smiled at her. And she walked away leaving me alone with my thoughts of the future.
It was really peaceful here. But I couldn't fall asleep no matter how hard I tried you could say I waited hours which is actually true.
"Hey.." I looked and saw mr. dreamy or as he calls himself Tropic walk towards me.
"Hi.."i said. And he smiled softly and sat down beside me. My gave a little flutter.
"Had a ruff day?" ha asked. 'I should've washed my tear stained face before he came, but then again I couldn't know when he pops up'. I nodded.
"It's ok we all get them now and then" he said. "Why are you awake?", 'if I told him he would laugh but isn't that a good thing?'.
"I kinda got used to your singing" I said. I blushed a dark pink. 'Did I have to say that?'. I mentally smacked myself. He laughed. 'At least I got the desired effect'.
"Alright then" he said. But before I could fall deep in sleep I had a dream.
The Dream

I was in front of that same door. I tried pushing it, I tried pulling it. I even said : "Open Sesame".
But nothing worked. 'My horn!, but I don't know any spells. I will ask Twilight but she doesn't know me any more'. And with that thought I broke down crying.
I woke up. I must've been crying in my sleep because when I woke mr. dreamy was wiping them away with a gentle hoof. And continued singing. But before I went in deep sleep I caught a glimpse of in flank and cutie mark.
It was a picture of a forest. And while trying to remember it I went into a deep dreamless sleep.
