Quantum Twist

Chapter Four

This must be a dream, none of this makes sense. Come on alarm clock start to go off, it's usually around now you do this. I am dreaming, right? Right!? It would appear that isn't the case.

"You're awake!"
"Yeah, I suppose I am."

The green light-blue figure who I couldn't work out isn't human, it's a pony who can talk.

"I was so worried about you." She said in a worried voice as she came across and nuzzled me. What's this now? I can't remember my name, where I am, or anything. I take a look at myself, I in a hospital robe. Wait, I'm also a pony - a light grey one. I've got hooves, not hands. A mane instead of hair on my head. This is one strangely vivid dream, I've never experienced one like this before.

"What's wrong? Why are you looking at yourself?"
"I'm just looking."
"You're lucky you didn't seriously hurt yourself after that fall."
"Fall?"
"Yes, don't you remember?"
"No, I don't remember. I don't even know my own name, or who you are?"

She's then looks shocked and a little upset.

"I'm sorry, I've upset you haven't I?"
"No no, the doctor said you're slightly concussed."
"So, what's your name?"
"My name is Lyra."

Finally, a name to a face!

"Hi, Lyra. Thanks for getting me to the hospital so fast."
"No problem, I'll do anything for you. Especially ever since you saved my life."

Lyra then smiles at me.

"Saved your life?"
"You don't remember do you?"
"No I'm afraid I don't."
"It's the day we first met and we became each others special somepony."

Woah, nellie! This is moving awfully fast. Argh! My head, need to take it easy - this is too much all at once. Better slow down.

"Are you okay? You look a little woosie."
"My head doesn't feel quite right. I can't even remember my own name."
"Don't worry, I'll help you remember everything. My dear Storm."
"Storm? That's my name?"
"Yes."

The doctor then comes into the room.

"Ah! I see you're now awake."
"Doctor, my head hurts and I'm struggling with my memory."
"Well that's perfectly normal, you hit your head when you fell onto the ground. You should start to remember everything in a day or so."
"Can I leave the hospital?"
"Not just yet as we're waiting on the results back from the x-rays. They're due soon."
"Thank you, Doctor."

The doctor then leaves.

"Guess I'm here a little longer."
"Don't worry, I'm here for you."

I blush a little bit. I'm not used to this.

"Thanks."
"How's your wing feeling?"
"Wing?"
"Yes, you've got wings - you're a pegasus."
"What!?"

I fling off the bed sheet with my hooves and their they are. Two wings, my left one is bandaged up.

"Be careful, you don't want to hurt yourself any more!"

I grab the bed sheet and put it back onto myself.

"Sorry, it's just that I can't really remember anything right now. Everything is just freaking me out at the moment."
"Stop apologising, the doctor said you will get better soon."
"Yeah, you're right."
"Do you remember how you got your cutie mark?"

My cutie mark? I have a think for a moment... Nope, nothing.

"No I don't."
"You got it just after you saved me."

I have another think about it... Still nothing. I look under the bed sheet and take a look at my cutie mark. It's looks like two snakes forming a plus symbol with a lightning bolt through the middle. Where have I seen those snakes before? They aren't green as you might expect one is blue and the other is yellow.

"Doesn't ring a bell, I'm afraid."
"I guess I'll have to jog your memory when we get home."
"Home?"
"Of course, home. We live together."

Right, let's sum this up. Somehow got I injured which so far I've got no idea how and I think at this point that question doesn't need to be answered. Then Lyra brings me to hospital and she's my special somepony and we live together. This is some great dream I'm having here, I'm actually doing pretty well for myself here apart from the accident of course. Nothing like this ever happens to me in real life. This has to be a dream, nothing else can explain it.

The doctor then comes back, this time with an x-ray with him hovering in the air by his magic.

"Good news, nothing is broken. You can leave straight away."
"Really!?" I shout.
"Indeed, just ensure you get plenty of sleep and rest that wing for while. Before you know it you'll be back as yourself."
"What about my memory? When will I remember everything again?"
"It will improve in about a day or so, if not come back and we'll check it out in-case it's something more serious."
"Thanks doctor."
"Sign this discharge document for me would you?"
"Sure."

I sign the document and the doctor then leaves.

"Well then, shall we getting going?" I say to Lyra.
"Of course, I'll show you around Ponyville to see if helps with your memory."
"That sounds great."

I remove the hospital robe then Lyra and I leave the hospital side by side.

"I'm going to love showing you around again."
"Again?"

Lyra giggles a little bit.

"Don't worry, you'll remember soon enough."
