As Twilight and Silver were walking Twilight was asking Silver many questions about him.
"So how did you come to Ponyville? Why is your horn white? Shouldn't it be yellow? Where were you before coming here? Do you have royal family? Do you know Princess Celestia, Luna, and Cadence?"
The questions kept on coming as Silver just kept trotting along still trying to think of an excuse for all of it. He couldn't talk about being a hedgehog before. He didn't want to seem like a loon and be thrown into a nuthouse. He would have to lie about it. As for being an alicorn he still wasn't sure how to use his horn and wings.
"I had a very sever case of amnesia and I don't remember anything. I only remember waking up in a field and that's it... Nothing comes to mind." He looked over at Twilight hoping she would buy his lie.
"Oh dear? Really? Do you even know why your horn is white?"
Silver shook his head. "Well.. When someone has a case like this usually some things bring back the memories. You'll remember soon enough. And I can help!" Said with great pleasure. "I really didn't know there were any other alicorns besides the princesses. Not to mention one that looks as spectacular as you!" Silver blushed a little at this.
"I'm not anything special from a normal pony..." he said laughing nervously. "Are you kidding?" Twilight said with a blank expression. "Just the fact your an alicorn makes you special! But enough about that. What do you remember about yourself?"
This question quickly made Silver uneasy as he was unsure of what to think at this point. That is until they finally reached the library and Twilight changed the subject. "Oh... Well it looks like were here already. Maybe we could talk later Thanks for walking me here." Twilight said smiling. "Actually." Silver said quickly. "I was hoping I could borrow some books... You know some about Equestria history some books about spells and magics.... You know anything that could inform me about life here."
Twilight's eyes widened a little bit at the thought of another pony wanting to actually read books and learn about Equestria's history. "Oh of course! come on in!" She said opening the door allowing Silver to step in. "Spike! oh Spiiike!" Twilight called. Silver was puzzled. Was Spike a pet of some sort? Just as he started to think A small purple dragon carrying a very tall stack of books was walking down the stairs. "Im here Twilight im here." He said carefully trying to make his way down the stairs.
Just as Spike was walking though A purple glow had grown around him as he started to float towards them. Silver saw this and looked towards Twilight to see her horn was the source of it. "Now I get it..." Silver thought to himself. "The horn on a unicorn must determine what they can do. I wonder if there are any other neat tricks they can do." Just so Spike had spotted Silver and greeted him with a friendly wave "Hi there! Names Spike! Im Twilight number 1 assistant!" He said cheerfully.
"Spike I need you to help me find a couple books for our new friend here." Spike sighed as he saw the books he was carrying in a pile on the floor now. "Alright anything in particular?" Spike said looking at Silver.
"Uhhh.... Just anything that has to do with magic and history." Silver said bluntly.
Spike and Twilight had been wandering around the library pulling books out one by one. there was only a small stack of 4-5 books on a table nearby. When suddenly a knock at the door was heard. "Well I think those are a good few books for you Silver. If you need anymore feel free to cone back!" She said speaking at Silver who was sitting in the corner of the room by himself just staring at books fly around left and right.
"Oh hey Fluttershy!..... Yes Twilight's right here come on in." Spike said speaking to someone outside the door. Just as Silver was about to walk towards the books a yellow pony with a pink mane and tail walk in holding a book in her mouth and setting it on the table where Silver's books were. "oh. Th-thank you so much for letting me borrow this book on ravens Twilight. It really helped me out. they're such sweet creatures when you get to know them." She had a soft but pleasant voice. Silver couldn't help but stare at her until realizing he would look rude as he turned red shaking his head and walking towards his books. "I'm sorry to have taken your time Twilight. Are these the books I'll be taking?" Silver said quickly to try and avoid eye contact with the Pink maned mare. "Actually since your an alicorn." Twilight said. "There's one more book I want you to read. I'll be back. Get acquainted with my friend Fluttershy while your waiting!" She said quickly running upstairs. He heard rummaging through cabinets as he sat there quietly still avoiding eye contact with Fluttershy. "Umm.... Ar-are you new here?...." She said quietly looking at him. "Yes..... I am... The names Silver. Pleasure to meet you." He said staring at the books. She had walked closer to him getting close to his face. But not staring at him directly. Stating at his horn. "Oh my.... That's a very lovely horn you have." She said blushing a little. "If you don't mind me saying... It's a very nice color of pure white..." Silver was slightly red at how close she had been but stayed quiet muttering a "Thank you." As Fluttershy smiled warmly offering a hug and just as Twilight came back downstairs Silver sighed and thought "Finally."
"Here Silver. This is for you." Twilight said with a fairly large book that was titled "Mistics and Magics" as she set it down with the other 5 books. "And don't worry about paying. These you can have until your done with them" She said. Suddenly it hit Silver rather quickly. What was money around here? And how would he get around without it? "Thanks Twilight I really appreciate it." Silver said with a smile. He quickly picked up the books setting them on his back. "Why don't you just levitate the books with you?" Twilight said puzzled. "Uhh...." Silver said quickly thinking of something to say. "Ohhh I see.... You must have forgotten how to even do the simplest of spells?" Silver quickly nodded in agreement sighing. "That's alright. Just read those books and it'll help you im sure." Twilight said smiling. "Thank you." He said nodding to both of the mares and walked out with relief in his heart that there were such nice ponies around.
While Silver went around. He soon found himself lost in Ponyville. Trying to find a way around before ramming into a wagon full of apples. "owww." Silver said falling back as his books fell as well.
"Oh ahm mighty sorry 'bout that pardner." A large red stallion spoke walking up to Silver. He had a brownish type mane and tail and had what looked like a large harness over his neck.
"Ah hope I didn't interrupt anything" He said in a strong yet bland voice. "My name is Big Macintosh but ya'll can call me Big Mac."
