//------------------------------// // Gap filler! // Story: Professional's Standards // by KAMAKAZE //------------------------------// I woke up. I was in a plain white bed in a plain white room. There was one single light in the room, and it was hanging just above me. I had no idea where I was. Was I dreaming, or was all of it real? I looked around me. I saw a strange looking brown stallion peering through the only window in the room, and as soon as I saw him, he ran off. "He's awake!" I heard. I only heard it faintly through the walls, though. Then, a doctor came through the doors in the room. Well, he looked like a doctor, at least. He was wearing all of the clothes, but he looked like a horse. "Where am I?" I moaned. "You are in a hospital." The doctor-horse replied. "No, I mean, where am I?" I said. "Wait, you don't know where this is? Actually, maybe that would make sense since you probably didn't get to read the sign." The horse-doctor said with a grin. "So, uhhh.... can you answer my question.... please?" I asked. "Oh! Sure. You are in Ponyville." The doctor replied. "Wait, what?" "Ponyville hospital. You are in the Ponyville hospital, in Ponyville." "Sir, is this some kind of joke? Because it isn't working on me." "... Oh. You probably have severe brain damage. Let me-" "NO! I'm not gonna let anybody touch me. I gotta go home" "Anybody?" "It's a figure of speech where I am from." "Oh-" I didn't waste any more time. I quickly ran off, and after asking people for directions, I ended up in some place called "Sugarcube Corner". That's where my direction asking temporarily grinded to a halt. It would take a long time to get a hold on some more directions again, and even then I ended up not going to where I wanted to go..... This is a small filler to explain what happens in between chapter 1 and chapter 2.
