"Alright, you're all set," The doctor says as he rises to his feet. He packs his utensils back into his bag and adds, "Your friend already fixed some of the apparent injuries, I just had to fix a few exiguous fractures; you should be just fine in about two days. Here's some medication to fight off any infections." He hands you a bottle of small, navy blue capsules. "Any questions before I head off?"

"Hm, only about 7,000 come to mind," you add in sarcastic humor.

The doctor chuckles. "Well, hopefully your amnesia will disencumber soon. Though," He solemnly adds, "There've been reports of it taking even years for amnesia to clear..."

"Well that...sucks," You add with a sigh.

"Well, you seem to be just fine, I'll be leaving."

"Thanks for the help, sir, have a safe trip." You thank him.

"Your welcome, and I'm sure I'll be fine, but thank you."

"Oh I wouldn't be too sure about that," You humorously add, "Hell, look at me,"

He chuckles, "Very true," and leaves the cottage.

You finally take notice to the inside of Fluttershy's cottage. It's very inviting, with a fireplace crackling away, giving warmth to the den, and copious and sundry animals everywhere. The smell of nature was obviously from the animals, making the cottage even more inviting. To yourself, you marvel at how Fluttershy can keep so many animals in her house, and always have the place so clean and pristine. Out the window, there was nothing but plains and wilderness. It seems this shy adolescent wants to be as close to nature as possible.

You take the silence as an opportunity to speak up. "Er, Fluttershy," At the mention of her name, Fluttershy blushes and mutters something that sounded like "What is it" and looks down.

"If I may ask, where are we?"

Fluttershy just blushes and mutters illegible things, so Dash sighed and took over. "We're in the outskirts of Ponyville, the town is about a mile or so up the path."

"Oh..." You have no idea where you are. Hell, you don't know why you expected to, you don't even remember where you came from.

"We're in the kingdom of Equestria. under the rule of Princess Celestia and Princess Luna." Twilight speaks up, closing her book she was engrossed in. "If that was what you were wondering."

"I still have no idea about anything though, but thanks," You say, shoulders sagging.

"Hey, I know!" Pinkie adds, suddenly appearing beside you. "We should give you a tour of Ponyville!"

"That sounds like a splendid idea!" Rarity exclaims.

"Yeah, you might as well get a tour of the place you'll be livin' at fer awhile," Applejack advises.

"Yeah, I guess so, I might as well get my muscles moving, too, to work out any soreness." You stand up, legs and abs slightly aching.

"Ok then, let's go!" Pinkie exclaims, bouncing out the cottage.

"Her parents really need to cut down her sugar intake..."

"Oh, she doesn't get any of her energy from sugar, it's all natural." Twilight sighs.

Pinkie leads the group up the dirt path as she bounces happily toward Ponyville. Her hyperness has surpassed cute and reached adorable. Fluttershy lags behind a bit, but Dash repeatedly tells her to catch up. You all had finally reached the small, quaint village known as Ponyville, and Pinkie appears directly in front of you. "Welcome to Ponyville, the most friendliest, coolest place in Equestria!" She gushes. Apparently, she thinks very highly of Ponyville. She moves aside as you take a couple steps forward to survey the small sliver of the town in front of you. You see a few pedestrians milling about, talking amongst each other.

"It certainly looks very nice. Not too crowded, not to deserted, I like it." You say as you turn around.

"Well then, let's explore," Pinkie chirps as she pushes you along. You hear Fluttershy giggle softly from the back of the group.

"Hey, I think that's the first time you said something today," You say in a slight teasing tone. She blushes and looks down, hiding her face behind a link curl. "Eh, I'm sorry," You quickly apologize. She just blushes harder and mutters illegible things as a response.

"Forgive Fluttershy, dear, she's just terribly shy," Rarity says, attempting to reassure you.

As you walk throughout Ponyville's streets, you begin to ask the group questions, in an attempt to get to know them better. "What do you all do? I mean, for a living?"

Applejack is the first to respond by saying, "I work at a family owned orchard, called Sweet Apple Acres. It's hard work, but it's really fun, and our apples are the best in Ponyville!"

"That's because it's the only orchard in Ponyville, dear," Rarity says matter-of-factly. Applejack sighs and continues, "Anyways, the apple pastries we make are amazing, almost as good as Sugarcube Corner's baking!"

"Sugarcube Corner?" you ask.

"It's the sweetshop that I work at!" Pinkie Pie exclaims. "I'm also the best there is at parties!"

"Well, I'll keep that in mind if I happen to remember my birthday," you tell her. She giggles and smiles wide.

"What do you do, Rarity?"

"Oh, I'm a fashion designer, dearie, couldn't you tell by my stunning wardrobe?" She swishes her hair and makes a small gesture to her snow white jacket and frilly skirt.

"Um...they look like normal clothes to me..." you say bluntly. She sticks her nose in the air grumpily, and says, "Well, it seems I'll just have to teach you a thing or two about fashion, now won't I?" while slightly smiling at you.

"And you, Twilight?" you say, turning back to the purple-horned adolescent.

"I'm Princess Celestia's head pupil, and I run the town library, though, it's empty most of the time, it's rare for somepony to come across it..." Twilight says with a sigh.

"Well, I'll be sure to stop by and get a few books," you reassure her. "Wait, you’re the Princess's head pupil!?"

"E-er yeah..." She stammers, blushing slightly, "it's not a big deal though..."

"No, it sounds like a pretty big deal, it's amazing that you could be on such close terms with royalty." you say, amazed.

"Eheh, w-well..." She stutters out.

There is a pause, so you ask a question to Rainbow Dash. "What do you do, Dash?"

Dash flexes her wings and cracks her neck. "I'm the captain of the weather team," she gloats.

"Weather team...?"

"You don't know what I'm talking about, do you?" You shake your head. She sighs and explains. "What the weather team does is we basically control the weather. It's fully composed of pegasi, and we either clear the sky for the sun, or we gather clouds if rain is scheduled."

"Oh...you can control the weather? Damn..."

"Heh, hey-yeah! One of the many awesome traits of mine," she boasts again.

Fluttershy has lagged behind again, and is completely silent. When you turned to face her, you notice she was actually looking right at you. She squeaks, blushes, and hides her face again behind her pink veil of hair.

"What about you, Fluttershy? What do you do?"

"U-um..." It seems that by now, she was used to her friends continuing for her, but this time, all are silent, waiting for her reply.

"U-uh...well I....I mostly just take care of animals. r-really...sometimes, somepony will ask to watch their pet, or when the Summer Sun festival comes around, I'll be asked to have my animals preform the music..." she blushes harder, and hides her face again.

"Wow...you actually spoke for more than 2 seconds..." you tease. She squeaks in response. You chuckle and say, "Well, I'd have to say that that sounds like the most interesting job here. Taking care of all those animals sounds fun."

Instantly, Fluttershy perks up and begins to gush. "Oh, yes, it's amazing! I love animals, I'm the only one who can actually go near them, and they don't shy away. In fact, almost all the animals around here know me!" She realizes she actually spoke louder than a whisper, and squeaks, hiding her face behind a rosy pink curl.

You chuckle for a while, until you hear someone shout.

"Quick, get out of the way!!" A girl's voice shouts out. You turn to the direction where the shout came from, and see a little girl with magenta-colored hair, and small, orange colored wings barreling towards you on a scooter. "Move, quick!!"

Instinct takes over your body, and you spring into the air. For you, time feels as if it had slowed. You preform a backflip over the scooter riding girl, and when you stick the landing, pain streaks through your body from the sudden burst of activity.

"Scootaloo! What are you doing!?" Dash yells, "You nearly turned this guy into a pancake!!"

"N-no, Dash, it's fine..." You grunt, leaning against a wall for support. You feel light-headed and woozy.

"Are you ok!?" Fluttershy exclaims, worry very present in her voice. You nod, the achiness fading.

"I'm really sorry sir, it's really hard to stop on a dime. Well, now that apologies are out of the way, seeya!" She flaps her wings, and takes off."

"That was quick," you grunt.

Applejack sighs. "She's always moving. Never stops for so long when on that damn scooter. Sorry about that."

"Nah, it's all good," you straighten yourself. "Let's get going, shall we?" You began to walk when a stabbing pain in your head erupts suddenly.

"Ack!!" You shout, while an image fills your eyes.

It was a girl, looked to be a teenager, is shouting at you, crying. She has shoulder length red hair, and a white horn protruding from her head.

"You're horrible!! How could you do something like that!? Just leave, Epee!!"
