The pegasus wearily woke up. She groaned, as she tried to lift her body into a sitting position.
"I'd recommend you keep lying down miss. You look disoriented." Astrid spoke.
The mare had her eyes open, giving her an opportunity to observe her surroundings.
She found herself in someplace OTHER than the hospital.
"Wh-where am I?" She asked.
"A safe place, my dear." Walter said, still munching on his crackers.
"Graham Cracker?" He offered.
"I'm supposed to be in the hospital, not some....wherever this place is." The pegasus said, after ignoring Walter's offer.
"Laboratory." Walter corrected her.
"Do you feel...different?" Peter asked her.
"Not really."
"Do you remember anything before you lost consciousness?" Astrid questioned.
"Very little....." She turned her head to Twilight.
"Oh hey! You're Twilight Sparkle! It's so nice to meet an Element of Harmony in the flesh!" she squeed.
Twilight blushed from the admiration.
"That's funny.....my forehead feels.....different..." The pegasus soon started feeling her hoof around her head. Whem she reached the horn, her reaction was one of confusion and dismay.
"Wah?" she jerked her body up. Peter and Astrid motioned to lay her down.
"Leave her be." Walter replied.
They did so, letting the mare walk to the nearest mirror. She checked her new protusion, in awe and wonder of the horn.
"So, I'm an alicorn now?" she asked, turning to the ponies. "Just like the princesses?"
Twilight nodded at her, affirming her question.
"Cool....." she softly said, admiring her new grown horn.
"Does this mean I have their powers now? Like raising ths sun or moon?"
"We're gonna need to know more about what happened before you lost consciousness." Peter replied.
"All right." She replied. She then sat back on the carrier, as she tried to remember what happened.

"I was on the ground, setting up for a picnic. I had invited my coltfriend, Breeze, to eat with me," She told the story, eating some graham crackers Walter had shared with her.
"I had everything ready. I had the quilt set up, the sandwiches ready, it was going to be our time together, alone. Celestia's sun shining over the park, it was a perfect day." She smiled at the remembrance.
"Tell me, Miss Blaze," Walter said, now knowing her name after she revealed it.
"What happened next?"
She gave a short sigh. "Well, all I remember, is that some weird hooded Earth Pony came out with a small device. He pressed on it, and the next thing I know, here I am! An alicorn." She said, pointing to her horn.
"What can you say about this "hooded Earth Pony" you saw?" Twilight asked.
"Well....... I did see......his eyes...... one looked glassed.... ..I think he was blind on that eye."
"Is that all?" Twilight asked Blaze.
The young alicorn nodded.
"Well then, looks like we have some investigating to do." Peter said.
"I'll go get my assistant." Twilight replied, using her magic to teleport to her library.
"Blaze, you stay with Walter. He can help you get back to normal again." Astrid said.
Blaze giggled.
"Why would I want to be just a plain old pegasus ever again? This is awesome!"
Peter and Astrid have already left to the scene of the event, as Walter grinned.
"Youth these days..." he said to himself, as he walked towards Blaze.
