The Meeting - Part 1

After blacking out (again), I woke up on a bed with a crystal border in a crystal room.

My head throbbed a little, but it told me where I was: Twilight Sparkle's castle.

I scanned the room while I sat up in the warm bed. Two windows, a round carpet, a small closet, the door, and an on suite.

I lazily got out of bed. I had tried to stand on two legs but ended up on my butt.

"Oof!"

Right... Pony now. Need to remember that, Sketch!

I stood up on my four legs and wobbled a bit. Slowly, I trotted over to the on suite since I hadn't peed since I have no idea when.

After emptying my bladder, the mirror greeted me with a yellow pegasus with an occasional spot that faded into orange. Her eyes were a vivid green, and her mane and tail was raggedy and purple with a turquoise strip. She blinked.

I'm really starting to hate this whole familiar yet unfamiliar thing.

Two knocks resounded from the door.

"Hello? Are you awake yet," a male voice asked.

"Y-yes," I responded as calmly as I could. "I'm awake. Enter, I guess?"

A sheepish, small, purple and green dragon opened my door.

"Um, hi." He suddenly interested with his feet. I raised an eyebrow. "I'm Spike, and your breakfast can be prepared if you're ready."

I nodded since I still wasn't completely awake. "What's for breakfast?"

"What do you want it to be?"

"Two eggs. One sunny side up, and the other popped. A slice of well-done toast, buttered. And a glass of milk," I responded on instinct. I must have I like that, um... wherever I came from, I guess. Wait... Can ponies eat eggs?

"Coming right up," Spike announced proudly.

Well, I guess they do if he's not questioning me about it.

He guided me downstairs to an elegant dining area. There was a large wooden table covered with an elegant violet cloth. Spike walked through a swinging, which showed part of a vast kitchen with countertops and metal bars overhead holding kitchen implements.

... Like a restaurant... Don't ponies have restaurants? I think so...

I sat down at the table. My wings twitched with anticipation. My eyes kept flicking towards the kitchen door, eager for Spike to return. My stomach growled.

Shut up, stomach!

I sleepily scanned the large, dining area. Crystal floors. Wooden table. Elegant cloth. Chandalier. A rainbow pony staring at me with an amused expression on her face.

Back up!

"Haha! Took you long enough to notice me," the pegasus... Rainbow Dash?.. laughed. "Name's Rainbow Dash by the way." She puffed out her chest proudly.

"Um, I'm Musical Sketch," I replied.

She cocked her head in thought. "So what's your talent? Composing?"

"What? No! It's drawing and singing!... I think..."

Rainbow Dash was taken aback by my reply. "I think?! How can you not know your own cutie mark and talent?! Are you even a pony?!"

I sighed. "Honestly? I have no idea if I'm a pony or not."

Rainbow began flying towards a set of large doors. "That's it! I'm done!" She flew out of the room and slammed the large set of doors.

"What did I do? It must've been the pony thing I said," I muttered to myself.

Then, crashing and screaming could be heard on the other side of the doors.

"Rainbow Dash!! You know to treat guests better!!" a squeaky-ish voice screamed. "Especially guests from other universes! You should be ashamed, Dashie! My turn, Twilight!" I heard a... bouncy?.. )I don't have any other words that seem suitable...) noise approaching the door.

The doors opened to an irritated pink mare. The irritation immediately left when her eyes set on me. She beamed a pearly white smile and began bouncing over to the table.

Then, without moving, she appeared at my left side.

"Gah!"

"Hi! I'm Pinkie Pie! What's your name?"

"Um... Musical Sketch..."

She blinked and suddenly looked completely confused. "What? I was just asking what your name was to be polite, and you answered wrong! How can you not know your own name?"

"I, uh... what?"

"Hmm... You must've hit your head harder than I thought... Oh well! It'll heal!" She giggled. "But it is really funny how you forgot your own name, DiscordFan!"

My mind froze.
