Chapter 2 Am I Human?
“Found anything yet?” Rainbow asked, skimming through the hundreds of books in the Ponyville library. She was was definitely bored out of her mind. I could tell that she wasn't used to research and that she sure as heck didn't like it.
“Nope,” Twilight answered matter of factly.
After the party, we all went back to the library to try and figure out why I could not remember anything, and how to fix the problem. You would think that somewhere in a library full of hundreds of books, there would have to be a couple that at least mention something about my situation. But there wasn't. Not one book said anything of use.
“What exactly are we looking for, darling?” Rarity asked.
It was a fair question. Even I did not know the specifics of what we were looking for. Then again I don't know much right now. And I am kinda’ confused about this whole situation. I have so many questions and so few answers. Most of my questions are simple question such as: Who am I? Where did I come from? What am I doing here?
“We are looking for any books on memory loss and how to fix it. As well as any memory spells I have not already tried,” Twilight replied bringing me back to the moment on hoof, “Spike!”
“Yes Twilight?” He responded.
“Write a letter to Princess Celestia.”
The Letter she wrote read like this:
Dear Princess Celestia,
I have a friend named Bright Night who has no account of who he is, or anything else. He is completely without memories. I have no books that are helpful in this scenario. I would like to know if you and Luna have any information that would prove useful at this point of time, in the form of a book or of your own accord. Any help would be appreciated.
Your faithful student,
Twilight Sparkle
Just then Spike launched a breath of fire as the letter burst into flames and it disappeared.
“Why would you write a letter just to destroy it?” I asked curiously.
“He didn't destroy it. That flame was imbedded with magical properties that delivered it to its intended recipient, in this case Princess Celestia,” Twilight answered.
I swear, this just keeps getting weirder and weirder, I thought. Just then another flame burst from spike’s mouth and another letter appeared, That didn't take long. The letter read,
Dear Twilight,
When is it gonna get through that thick little pony skull of yours that you no longer need to address yourself as my faithful student since you are now a princess yourself?
As to your question, there is no information in books about your friends situation; HOWEVER, in my two millenniums on the throne, I have experienced a few instances where a human from earth, has come to ponyville. Usually they arrive in human form, but every once in awhile they arrive as a pony.
Additionally, they typically have some (if limited) recollection of their life outside of ponyville, whereas your friend as you said has no memories at all. That is strange even considering the circumstances. This could be caused by some completely natural for of memory loss, such as amnesia. However, based on the fact that nopony knows where he came from or anything else about him; I would guess that this is anything but normal.
To say a human arriving in Equestria is rare is an understatement. The only reason I suggest this is it is the only thing that explains his sudden appearance, besides him being a strange form of magical energy.
Sincerely,
Princess Celestia
“Wait, so am I human?” I asked both shocked and confused. I was; however, manely confused.
“I don't know, but we are going to find out,” Twilight replied. You could see the confusion in her eyes. It was an almost unnerving site to see.
“How?” I asked. The answer she gave made me wish I hadn't.
“I don’t know" was all she said.

Celestia was sitting on her couch. She could not get Twilight's words out of her head. Could this new pony really be a human, she thought to herself. It did not seem possible to her, The last time this happened was over a millennial ago. And then Luna walked in. She wore a look of concern on her face.
“Sister, is something troubling thou? Luna asked, “Thou hast been locked in thy room for hours. Tell me what is on thy mind”
“Nothing that I need bother you with Luna,” Celestia replied.
“Sister, we are both princess. Not only that but we are sisters. We will do this together”
“Very well, a new pony arrived in Ponyville.”
“That is good, is it not?”
“It would be fine if this pony had any memories, and had not seemingly appeared out of nowhere.”
“What art thou saying?” Luna asked starting to become worried.
“I’m saying that I believe this new pony may be human”
Celestia went over to one of the many bookshelves in her study. She pulled out the biggest book of all of them, titled 2012 Royal Equestrian Census, “I have looked through all royal documents from the past two years. Not one of them mentions a pony named Bright Night.”
“That is strange. We will have to investigate this issue further. But tis necessary we not let this issue become bigger than it needs to be,” replied Luna.
“I agree, for now I believe the main concern is for us to help this pony regain his memories. After that we can go from there.”
