Rain Storm
Chapter 2: Wake up Call
Previous Chapter Next Chapter“Where did you find him?” asked Applejack.
“Is he Ok?” asked Fluttershy worried.
“Do you know who the stallion is?” asked Rarity. As soon as Twilight had brought back the mystery pony and her friends found out, it was non-stop questions from all of them. Well, almost all of them. Rainbow Dash was there to, but she didn't ask anything about him, she just, well, stared at him, as if she knew him from some place. When Twilight asked, she assured her that she didn't know him. She even did a pinkie promise on it, but Twilight was still suspicious.
Later on in the day,there was a knock on the door. Twilight went to answer it.
“Hello, how can I help...oh, hello Nursered Heart, its good that you arrived” said Twilight “I found this poor pegasus in the Everfree Forest... he looks pretty messed up, can you check him out for me please?”
“Of course Twilight” she said kindly. The Nurse put down her medical bag, and went over to inspect the pegasus.
“Hmmmm”she said “he seems to be ok... he looks very worn out, and by the state of his wings he had been flying for 3 hours solid” Rainbow Dash whistle, impressed. Even for herself, flying 3 hours without landing or taking a break, not once must be tiring and even before that, how long had he flow?
“his condition is stable” the nurse continued “but it may be rather difficult for him to fly for a while. apart form that, he is fine. Just make sure he gets lots of sleep and rest” They all let out a sigh of relief at that.
“How many bits do you want for that check up?” asked Twilight.
“Don't worry about the pay” she said smiling “it was just a check up and you're my friends”
“wow, thanks!” replied Twilight. Nursered Heart said her good bye's to the others and left. So now the ponies were alone again, and waited for this mystery pony to awake.

It was dark. Very dark, I mean, it was as if somepony blind folded him, or maybe it was magic? He couldn't tell, but at least it gave him time to think about stuff. Important stuff, but first there was something really important to remember first...but what was it... ah yes! My name!...name,name,name... ah yes... that was it.... my name is... is... I am Rain Storm... yea that was it... hey look, a light! Is this the place were all of those ponies were talking about? The light at the end of the tunnel? And I didn't believe them! Ah well, here I am now, well I guess I gotta go... the pegasus started to walk the light. He was almost there when suddenly he said
“Oh yea, that was the other important thing! I think I left the water on at home, I got to go” and he galloped off in the other direction.

“uuuggghhh” mumbled the stallion
“hey look everypony!” said pinkie happily. They all crowded around the waking pegasus.
“uugghh” he mumbled again and slowly opened his eyes.
“wa?” he said quietly. He pushed him self up and looked around “wa!?” he said again, but louder
“Heelloooo” said pinkie loudly to him.
“WA!!??” he said and fell backwards, almost off the bed “who!? What, where!?... where am I?” he asked confused “and who are you?” The stallion was a dark grey, with a midnight blue coloured mane and tail. His cuite mark was in the shape of a rain cloud, and he had dark green eyes. Despite is rather dark and menacing appearance, he looked a very nice pony.
“wo, wo slow down there partner” said Applejack “ we'll answer all of your questions in time, but for now try to relax”
“relax, Relax?? are you kidding? I woke up in some strangers house, with no idea where I am or what I am doing here, surrounded by 4 ponies I don't know, and then to suddenly get attacked by a bouncing crazy looking pink one!!!” said the pegasus, pointing at Pinkie. He tried to get into the air, but he suddenly cried out in pain and dropped down back into the bed again. The pegasus took a look at the ponies around him. There was a pink one, a orangey one, a purple one and a cyan one.
“just calm down please!” said Twilight “look, we're friendly, other wise when I found you I would have just left you there unconscious.”
“I...I guess...” he said “sorry about that, its just these things don't usually happen to me a lot, and I kinda panicked”
“don't worry about it! Now, about your other questions. You are in the town of Ponyville. The nearest major city is Canterlot. I'm Twilight sparkle, that's Applejack, Pinkie pie, and that's-”
“And im Rainbow Dash” Rainbow butted in. Twilight rolled her eyes “The fastest flyer in Equestria and the one and only pegasus that can pull off the Sonic rain boom, you heard of me?”
“oh yea” he said
“sweet, when” she asked
“oh just now, heh” he chuckled. Rainbow seemed a little annoyed at this.
“oh, I almost forgot” he said “my name is...umm...Rain storm! Yea that was it, rain storm... but my friends just call me Storm...I think”
“are you all right?” asked Twilight “I think you have a small case of amnesia”
“ama-what now?” said Pinke
“Amnesia is a condition in which one's memory is lost.” started Twilight, looking happy to put her knowledge to good use “The causes of amnesia have traditionally been divided into categories. Memory appears to be stored in several parts of the limbic system of the brain, and any condition that interferes with the...”
“Normal version please?” Rainbow Dash butted in again.
“ugh.. its were you forget stuff” said Twilight, annoyed.
“Ah well” said Storm “I'm sure I will remember eventually...I hope” he added. He got a better look around the place. He was in some sort of... tree was it? Yea, like a library inside a tree. Damn that's a lot of books! did Twilight read all of those!? Well... this place is kinda cool, if a bit nerdy.
After a bit, Storm managed to get out of his bed with out falling over.
“So...Ponyville, huh...mind if I take a look around?” he asked
“Of course!” replied Twilight “but try not to fly, the Nurse said that you had been using those wings for around 3 hours straight”
“Why would I do that?...” he thought “ack, I can't remember! Damn amnesia...” He slowly got up. His hooves were killing him! What happened... Storm trotted, no, stumbled about half a meter forwards and toppled against the wall
“heh, umm how long was I out for?” he asked
“ummm” said Twilight “well, I found you on Friday”
“what day is it today?”
“its Tuesday...”
“I was out for 4 days!?” he exclaimed
“yeah..." she replied
“Ah well, it only makes me want to get into the fresh air a lot more if i've been out cold for four days straight. can I take a look around Ponyville now?” he asked
“Of course!” said Twilight “I bet your dying to” Storm nodded, and opened the door, and stepped into the bright sunny day
