"Can you hear me? I'll need to do some tests with you." A voice somewhere says to me. I just barely open my eyes and see a pony in a doctors outfit. I open my mouth to say something, but no words come out. He says something, I don't know what, before I black out.
"This first test will just see if you remember what happened and who you are. Your name is Omega Rain, correct? Nod your head or say yes if true." The doctor hangs over me. I open my mouth to say yes, but then just nod my head. "Good. Now, do you remember how old you are?" I think to myself for a minute, then shake my head. He forces me to drink a cup of water and looks at a file in his hoof. "Says here that you are in the part of your life between being a colt and stallion. Testing will go on later." He gets off a wooden stool and walks out the room. I reach for the cup, but as I bring it towards me, the cup falls to the ground and shatters. This is going to be hard to get used to.
My eyes open again from a dreamless sleep to the doctor hovering even closer to my face. "Awake again. Again, I have some simple questions for you. I'm going to test your voice today. Do you remember if you are a pegasi or unicorn?" He makes me sip some warm, bitter liquid that I want to spit out.
I open my lips and mouth out the obvious word to me, "Normal." He nods. I lift my head to look out the window, but it falls back on the pillow after a few seconds.
The doctor jumps when the door is knocked on and creaks open. "Mr. Rain has some visitors." A female nurse leads in a couple ponies that I faintly recognize. A cute filly with a bow in her mane and a mare with a cowboy hat. What are their names? "Applejack and Apple Bloom are here." Oh right.
"I haven't seen you in ages, Apple Bloom." I say so quietly she comes over and asks me to repeat myself. "I've missed you. I won't leave you again." I manage to kiss her cheek before my head hits the pillow and random tears form in my eyes. Probably the only thing I remember closely is how I avoided fillies as much as possible. Can't say I really remember why, though. Applejack shakes her head in disapproval, but eventually grabs a tissue and wipes the tears from my eyes. "Please leave me alone with Apple Bloom. I need time to catch up with her." My eyes fill with tears again. Not like I'm going to rape her. She starts to protest, but somehow, I get her to stop by shaking my head.
"Don't worry, ma'm. We'll watch over them." The doctor assures her. Thank Celestia for him. He and the nurse drag her out the door and lock it after the doctor rushes inside. I mouth a thank you to the doctor and stare at Apple Bloom and blink to see clearly.
She walks over and sits down in the spin chair. The doctor glances over from whatever he was doing and stares at us. "Lay with me." I whisper when she looks at the ground nervously, probably thinking of what punishments she might get for this. I extend my left arm towards her, amazed by how hard it is to move, and try to ruffle her mane. It seems like I can remember all the moments with Apple Bloom, but no other ones. As I expect, she blushes, then climbs on the bed. We lay face to face and I can't help but to smile from ear to ear. "How long was I out?"
"A week." She says almost immediately and stares back at the doctor, who snaps back to looking at a paper and writing on it. "When you were helping Rarity get some gems, a big rock fell and hit you in the head. We didn't hear about it until after you were put in the hospital."
I nod and put an arm around her. "Why is Applejack so mad about us being... good friends?" Maybe good friends isn't the "exact" way to describe it. It's more of a "I love Apple Bloom, and she thinks of me as a good friend" kind of thing. Maybe that's why she's mad. She shrugs and turns over on her belly, now with her head buried in the warm pillow. The cover turns dark around where her eyes are and leaves the pillow wet. I manage to turn her head and wipe tears from her eyes. "What's wrong? I'm here for you, so you can tell me." I smile warmly. She mumbles something that I can't hear and pushes her head into my neck. "Whisper it into my ear."
She moves her head from my neck and to my left ear. "What do you think would be the punishment if Applejack saw me like this? I'm already in trouble for draggin' her here without asking."
As I open my mouth to say "Who cares," My head falls on her chest and I'm out of it.
A light turns on, leaving me in the middle. I stand up and walk out of the circle. A path of lights lead the way to a room with a red door. The door creaks open and I see a body in the middle of the tile floor. I walk towards it and the door slams shut behind me. Odd, but I can see that the body is one of a fillies. I turn it over and jump back at the door. Apple Bloom is laying on the ground, moaning now with her tail in between her legs. "Go on with your dream. It's what you've always wanted to do with her, isn't it? Here are more fillies for you, just to catch you up with your filly fetish." A voice says and more lights flicker on. As he said, more fillies fill the rusty room in the same position as Apple Bloom. I stay where I am, hoping that something will happen. "What, not satisfied? You can't run away from who you truly are, and you know that. We know that." Another light turns on behind me and someone walks out of it. He looks like me... except he has wings. "Surprise! It's me... or should I say, you. And no one knows you better than yourself. So, go on, live on your best dream. There are more fillies here than you can imagine!"
A confused look is on my face. "Who the hell are you? What is this? You can't be me, I mean, you have wings! I'm not a pegasus, so how are you me?"
He smiles, "Pardon the overused saying but, I am you, and you are me. I am you from the future. Custom built wings, these are. You will order them in the future. Titanium metal, and the functioning wings are made of sharpened diamond. Oh, did I tell you how you will try and stop your... Hmmm.... We'll call it fetish, but it's actually a disorder. Y'know what, I'll tell you after you" He bangs his front hooves together in the air. "Apple Bloom. Pure of heart, cute as hell, that's why we like her."
I look at the wings again and realize they're dripping with blood. How did I miss that on first glance? "You make this sound confusing. Saying we and that kind of thing. Since you are the future me, where did you get the wings, and how did you afford them?"
He walks over to Apple Bloom and starts petting her mane. "You waste precious filly time. You'll learn where I got them and how I paid it off soon enough. And from what I'm seeing now, you're leaving the fillies to me." He walks up to me and we're face to face. Odd how I've been face to face with so many ponies lately. He spins around and I feel the blade slice my neck.
