Earlier...

No POV

There was a bright flash. The source of that flash, was a giant, bright, white sphere. It stayed there for a few seconds, attracting a crowd. The sphere disappeared, and a certain blue alicorn fell out of it. Unfortunately, he doesn't know much. Fortunately, he knows something, as for he knows what to do now.

Earlier... again...

The Mysterious Alicorn's POV

Nothing. That was all I could see. Nothing. That's almost all I can remember. All I can remember is that I am a- I look down, and saw blue hooves. I looked at myself, and found wings and a horn. There is a strange symbol on my flanks. My short, blue mane seems to be flowing, as if there was wind here. The only thing I can remember is that I was a hedgehog.

I start looking around, and saw nothing. Nothing appearing. The place I am in is very cyan, with white dots that remind me of the night sky.(*1) So, what is the most generic thing that somepony would do in my place?

Walk.

It was only when I heard other hooves land on the ground is when I stopped. I turned around to see a tall, white pony with a red mane. She had wings and a horn like me.

"Ahh, so you must be the Missing Alicorn. So nice to see you in person." She smiled. Her voice was so soothing...

"Missing Alicorn?" I asked.

"Yes. For many years, you have gone missing from your true home land: Equestria. We all thought you were dead. Except for me. I knew you were in Mobius, then in Earth. I know of your adventures. And now, you have somehow came back."

"Uhh, what's Mobius? What's Earth? And who are you?" I asked.

"What? Don't you remember?" She raised an eyebrow.

"No. I can't remember anything except that I was a hedgehog." I replied.

"Oh. I see. Well, before we depart, let me tell you something.

"I will set you down in a city called Canterlot. There are two princess alicorns like me. The elder represents the day-time, while the younger one represents the night. Seek them out, and gain their trust. Ask them for some assistance, as for there is a great evil awakening. And can I ask you one last favor?" She asked. She started fading away.

"What?" She smiled.

"Tell the princesses that Mother said hello. Until we meet again, S-" She disappeared.

Chapter 1: The Meetings

Act 1: The Meetings

I quite literally fell back into reality. I landed on the ground, and saw the silent crowd around me. I gently flew over the crowd, as if they weren't there. I began searching the city. This must be the city of Canterlot she was talking about. I thought. I broke out of my thoughts when I got surrounded by ponies again, bombarded me with questions.

"Who are you?"

"Why did you wake us up?!"

"Why do you look like Luna?"

"Another Alicorn!?"

I growled in irritation. "QUIET DOWN!!" I shouted. I opened my eyes to find the most of the things in the area blown away. The ponies looked like a really fast speedster just flew by them.(*2) They also had bewildered looks on their faces. I paused for a second. "Look, I need to find the rulers of this place. Can you tell me where they are?"

A white unicorn with a blonde mane spoke up. "One of them should be awake, in that giant building." He said with a voice that could make the ladies faint if they didn't know better, because he sounds like a rich stallion that uses fame to get around.

I nod. "Thank you, sir." I said as I flew away.

As I flew through the castle, I noticed how familiar this place was... I flew into the throne room, and landed, getting the princess's attention. No wait... "Ah, finally. Your the princess...es, right?" I said, seeing both of them awake catching me off guard.

"Um, yes." The celestial one stammered. They then whispered to each-other. The lunar one eventually spoke up.

"So, what do you know with your amnesia?"

"Am-what-now?"

"Ehh, memory loss." How does she know? "So, what's your name?" She asked.

"My name... I don't know my name! What is my name!? No, no... gotta stay calm, like I usually am. At least, I think I am usually calm..." The elder whispered something to the younger one. "Wait, it's S-s-s..." I interrupted. I held out that consonant for a few seconds. "Nope. Slipped away." I looked up, to see them look at each other, and nod. I open my mouth, but they beat me to it.

"We think we may be able to help. We know a group of ponies who may be able to help you get your memory. They live in a town west of here; the town is called Ponyville. Search for somepony by the name Rainbow Dash."

I suddenly got a vision, of a hedgehog running a sonic speeds, with a rainbow-maned pegasus flying next to him. I snapped out of the trance, and nodded, and flew out the castle, unaware to the princesses watching me.

I made it into Ponyville, and noticed that barely anypony was outside. I floated (hovered?) in air, observing the town for any special buildings. I then noticed a tree overlooking the town, with windows, and a red metal platform with a telescope on it. The lights were on in the bottom floor. Maybe I should go over there? I started flying over there, but then realized something, causing me to slow down. What I didn't realize is that I was falling.

Well, I disobeyed the princesses' mothe- I was taken back into reality when I landed on something... very, very soft. I look down, to realize I am standing on a cloud. I took a few moments to realize that. I am standing on a cloud, guys. A FUCKING CLOUD, GUYS!!

I walk over to the edge, and look down. Suddenly, there was voice in my face, as well as a pegasus. "Hello! What's your name?" I flinched slightly.

"I don't know." I replied bluntly.

"What do you mean you don't know?" She asked. As I looked, I realized she was the pegasus from my vision.

"Memory loss. It sucks." I sighed.

"Well, my name is Rainbow Dash. Hey, I am going to my friend Twilight's house. You wanna come?"

"Oh, sure. Also might find some answers to my past. So, where does Twilight live?"

"In that castle." She pointed to the crystal-tree-thing. "Well, let's see if you can keep up with me!" I said as I flew away.

"Hey, no fair!" She shouted as she tried to catch up to me.

At 1.5X Speed

We made it to the castle, and I knocked on the door. "Come in!" Said a feminine voice. I pushed the door open. "Hello?" Dash and I said simultaneously, catching the attention of 5 mares.

"Hello! How about we introduce ourselves?" I asked right off the bat. "My name is... well, I don't have a name yet. I have am-amnesai, or anmasia, whatever."

"My name is Twilight Spar-" The lavender alicorn suddenly got knocked off her hooves by an all-pink mare.

"MynameisPinkiePieandIdon'tknowyousothatmustmeanyouarenewhereandyoumustnothavefriendssoIneedtocheeryouupsowecanbethebestoffriendsandwecanthrowyouawelcomeparty!!"

"Are you gonna be okay? I'm pretty sure I heard you running out of breath." I joked.

"No silly, I am just super-duper excited!!" Pinkie was so excited that she couldn't stop herself from bouncing in place.

I chuckled. "The party type, I see."

"Ma name's Applejack. Glad to meet ya!" She said, shaking my hoof violently. I had to put my other hoof on it to stop it.

"Nice to meet you too, but please don't break my leg next time. I'm assuming your a farmer, right?"

"Sort of. How did you know?" Applejack asked.

"The accent and Stetson is a dead giveaway."

"My name is Rarity, darling. Pleased to make your acquaintance."

"I-i-i-i'm Fl..." The rest was not audible. "Sorry, what's your name? There is no need to be shy." I asked, politely in a soothing voice. That got her attention. "Fluttershy." She said. Sure lives up to her name... I thought. My head launched up, surprising poor Flutters.

"What?" Twilight asked. I shook my head. "Ehh, one of the reasons is nothing. As for the other one, I am gonna need a name."

"Ooh, how about Cobalt Spikes?" Pinkie asked.

"Taken." I replied.

"Blue Comet?"(*3)

"Taken."

"Look, how about we make up names tomorrow, it's really late." Twilight yawned.

"Really? I'm not tired. I think I am gonna enjoy the beauty of nighttime while it lasts." I said as I walked out the door. "See you at sunrise." I said flying away.

I flew back onto a cloud, and then realized I didn't know what to do. So I looked back at my flanks. The same, triple rings and stars looked back. I suddenly fainted.

Act 2: Memories

I didn't wake up in that colorful void like the first time, but something completely different. A room, of some sort. Looking around, it resembled the night sky. There was a small bed, that contained a blue alicorn colt, with a shorter mane that also flowed in the non-existent wind. I can see how much I can relate myself to him: by age, and the lack of the symbol on his flanks. What is it called?

Anyways, the colt got up, and yawned. I looked out the window to see it is almost... night. Why is he waking up at twilight? He looks towards me.

"Um, hello?" I asked.

No response. He walked behind me, and through the door that I just noticed. I followed him through the hall. I realized that I didn't recognize this place; not even when I was in Canterlot. The place had a lot of brown, though... (*4)

We eventually made it to a purple door with a Crescent Moon on it. He knocked on it 5 times, in a specific manner. "Come in!" said a very familiar voice. The colt opened the door, and revealed another room that resembled the night sky. I wandered in, and the door closed. There was another pony in the room, who looks very famili- wait, that's one of the princesses! Never caught her name, though. Or the other one.

"So, are you ready to try again, I assume?" She asked.

"Yes, mother!" He said. I looked between the two. The night princess, was a mother? Well, I do see the resemblance, but... I realized they didn't even care about me.

"Hello?" No response again. Is, is this some kind of vision? I mean, it would explain the sudden fainting, but... The two go out to a balcony. The little colt flies up (really fast), and his horn flickered a deep-blue. Then, the whole horn went blue. He seemed to be sweating. Suddenly, stars started appearing in the night sky. My eyes went wide. The princess's eyes went wide as well, and gasped in glee. The little colt was raising the stars. And I swear I saw something glow on his flanks.

He landed on the balcony. The night princess gasped. "Sonic, you got your cutie mark!" So that's what it's called. We all looked at his new Cutie Mark. Triple Stars. Sonic gasped. He started bouncing around saying "YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES!!" I smiled, but only until I realized something. I then frowned. My Cutie Mark was Triple Rings and Stars. Yet, he looked so much like me...

The world started to get distorted. Darkness covered my eyesight.

Act 3: Discovery

I woke up in the same spot. I knew what to do now. I started flying up, and channeled energy into my horn with little effort. Stars appeared. I smirked. Looks like it's time for some fun!

Twilight's POV

The others went home already. I yawned, and walked to my bed. I opened the windows and looked outside. Suddenly, a certain blue alicorn flew by, charging his horn. And... he was singing. I decided to walk out.

Verse 1

Close your tired eyes

Relax and then

Count from 1 to 10

And open them.

All these heavy thoughts

Will try to weigh you down

But not this time.

I noticed ponies open their windows or doors, and peer out at my work.

Way up in the air

Your finally free.

You can stay up there

Right next to me.

All this gravity

Will try to pull you down

But not this time.

There was a crowd cheering me on.

Chorus

When the sun goes down

And the lights burn out

Then it's time for you to shine!

Brighter than a shooting star!

So shine no matter where you are!

Fill the darkest night

With a brilliant light

Cause it's time for you to shine!

Brighter than a shooting star!

So shine no matter where you are

Tonight!

Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!

Brighter than a shooting star!

Shine no matter where you are

Tonight!

Location: Canterlot

"Luna, I see you've been improving." Said Celestia. "It's not me." Replied Luna, wide-eyed. She was right, stars were appearing left and right, and all Luna was doing was watching.

Verse 2

Gaze into my eyes

When the fire starts.

Fan the flames so hot

It melts our hearts.

All the pouring rain

Will try to put it out.

But not this time.

Let your colors burn

And brightly burst

Into a million sparks

That all dispurse

And illuminate a world

That'll try to bring you down

But not this time.

"Sister, you think he is back?" Asked Celestia, eyes wide. "I hope so. He's been gone for quite a while. 1000 years or so. But... how?" Replied Luna.

Repeat chorus again.

A deep-blue and a white chariot is being pulled over to Ponyville. Meanwhile, not noticing the chariots, I got an idea. I got really high, and sped down towards the ground as fast as possible.

Verse 3

A thousand heartbeats beat in time

It makes this dark planet come alive!

So when the lights flicker out tonight

You gotta shiiiiine!

When I finished saying shine, I did a Sonic Starboom, which created stars all over the place. Looking back, I saw a 6-point white star spread across the town.

Repeat chorus one last time.

As I finished the song, I heard an uproar of applause. I flew down to the ground, and got cheers from all around. I grinned, and managed to make my way back to the library.

"How did you do that?" Asked Twilight, with a bit of jealousy.

"I don't know. I just looked at my flank and got an idea to see if I could make stars appear." I said, showing my cutie mark.

"Did you know you could do that?" Asked Rainbow.

"Nope."

"Hey! The princesses are coming!" Said Pinkie.

She was right. There was a deep-blue chariot and a white chariot. One had a picture of a cresent moon, while the other had a picture of the sun. The chariots landed, and the princesses from earlier got out.

"That was quite a show." Said the solar alicorn.

"Welcome back, son." Next Chapter: Chapter 2: The New Pony (slightly edited) Estimated time remaining: 7 Minutes
