‘Reboot complete, commencing with memory look-over, estimated time till completion, 24 hours. Order, newest to oldest. Multitasking mode initiated. New estimated completion time, 20 hours. Multitasking set. Names and Events, Start.’ The final command rang throughout my head. I don’t know why my brain decided to go through the process like this but it did. ‘World, Pony, Unicorn, And Pegasus Based. Blue Pegasus, Rainbow Dash, Female. Occupation And Background, Both Unknown. Purple Unicorn, Twilight Sparkles, Female, Occupation, Librarian, Background, Unknown. Pink Pony, Name, Gender, Occupation, and Background, All Unknown. White Pegasus, White ‘Bond’ Wind, Me, Dare Devil, Occupa--- Error, Disruption Occurring, Memory Bank, Deleted.’
“Come on, wake up!” a voice disturbed me from my sleep. Don’t know what I was dreaming about, but it must have been something awful because I awoke with a massive headache. “Wake Up! You’re late.”
Being told that I was late got me bolting up right away. “Late! For what!” I replied, wide eyed in panic.
“Follow me.” It whispered urgently. Looking at were the source came from, I saw a pink pony. Now where have I seen a pink pony before…? Oh yah, she gasped at me.
I followed this pony, still in a state of panic for what I might be late for. I don’t know, had I planned something with this individual? I just can’t remember. Remember, remember, remem… I couldn’t remember anything since after, well, since after I landed in this town.
I stopped dead in my tracks. I literally think that my heart stopped for a few moments before I felt the steady thump in my chest. No? My heart didn’t stop, but I was just becoming aware of its beat? Yah right. Anyways, me stopping. It caused the pink pony to stop, turn around and speak. Allowing me to realize that this pony, too, was a girl.
“Hurry up, we’re late as it is.” I have to admit, this pony sure knew how to make me panic.
‘How did I know this girl? Why couldn’t I remember anything? How do I get to know this girl’s name without her knowing that I didn’t remember her name?’ My mind was going a mile a minute, causing my hooves to do the same without me realizing it.
“Wow! Someone sure hates to be late. Right through those doors.” She pointed towards the doors of a building right in the center of town, while right next to me. I rushed in, and jumped while almost having a panic/fright induced heart attack.
“SURPRISE!” I think nearly everypony within this town was there yelling at me, a single word, at once. The color drained from me causing my already pure white fur to glow brighter than the sun. Okay, fine, I didn’t glow brighter than the sun, but I was glowing quite brightly. Alright, alright, I only…Wow… Déjà vu. But why?
Lost in my sense of Déjà vu, I didn’t notice when all the ponies gathered around me asking me questions, until it was too late to avoid it.
“What’s your name?”
“Were did you come from?”
“How long do you plan to stay?”
“When did you get here?”
“What’s your favorite food?”
“Were do you live?”
The sudden ambush of ponies with questions that I, for some reason, couldn’t answer, overwhelmed me. I started to huddle down a bit. You know, curl up in a ball with your hooves over your head. The ponies, for whatever reason, viewed this as an opportunity to ask more questions or something. Yah, luckily, Rainbow Dash found me and told everypony to back off. I then heard Twilight Sparkles announce that the party was over.
Everypony was leaving, even the pink one, when Twilight said, “Pinky Pie, you stay here.” The pink one stopped and walked back. Thank God I had an opportunity to learn her name. “Pinky Pie, we told you to not disturb this pony. He said something that worried me before he collapsed, and now I’m not sure if what he said could be true.” Twilight, I learned, when in the mood, can give a really good scolding. Not even joking this time. Twilight then turned to me, “So, what do you remember?”
“Wait, what? Why ask me that question?”
“It’s because you said, and I quote, ‘Do not disturb, else memory damage will happen.’ I’m just worried about you, even Rainbow Dash.”
“Am not!”
“Even if she won’t admit it, she is. So that brings us back to my question, what do you remember?”
“I remember,” I began, “I remember landing from what I can only guess was an awesome nose dive, Pinky Pie, gasping at me, then running away, then you greeting me, then me waking up in your bed,”
“Wait, you brought him into your bed? I thought we just set him down on one of the benches.” Rainbow Dash interrupted me, but brought up a good point that I pursued.
“Wait, what Rainbow Dash just said. Why did you move me to your bed? It couldn’t be that you…” I let my voice trail off, and put a look of panic on my face, and shuttered. I know I was only doing it to mess with her, but the reaction I got was so pure hilarious, that I burst out laughing only a few seconds later, breaking my charade.
“I-I,” Twilight stammered, her face turning deep red, “I only wanted to study him and his cutie mark and wanted him to be comfortable.”
If you can’t guess, this is where I burst out laughing, making her go from red with embarrassment, to red with anger from realizing that I was messing with her. “Anyways, memories, I remember Rainbow Dash, and I also remember that my name is White Wind. That is pretty much all I can remember.”
At this moment, a dragon walked in, scaring the crap out of me. It must have thought that it was funny, because it started *Roaring* at me, which was actually very adorably.
“Spike, stop that, why are you here?” Twilight to the rescue.
“Sorry, oh yah, a letter from Princess Celestia arrived for you.”
“Wait, Princess? You know the Princess of a country? Who are you?”
Twilight ignored my question in order to read the letter, so I only half listened, “Blah, blah, blah, Princess Celestia, blah, blah, blah, The Grand Galloping Gala on the 21st day, blah, blah, blah, invites you and one guest.”
“The Grand Galloping Gala!” All three ponies said excitedly.
“That’s like, the most awesome event ever! The Wonderbolts will be preforming there!” Rainbow Dash was the first to continue.
“The who?” I asked.
“The Wonderbolts! The most awesome of awesome flyers in all of Equestria! Wind, you have got to teach me that landing thing! It would be perfect! Twilight, you just have to take me!”
“No you have to take me! The Gala is the most ooper dooper party ever!”
“But Celestia only sent me two tickets, which means that only one of you can come.” Twilight said, pointing out the obvious.
“Why don’t you just ask her to send you more tickets? She is the ruler of this land, she could probably get her hooves on another ticket.”
“I can’t ask the princess for another ticket! That is just rude! Oh if only I knew who to pick.”
I just left at this point. I didn’t know what they were talking about, and I didn’t really care. “Hey Rainbow Dash, come on, I’ll show you my landing. I think I remember what I did. I also won’t offer this twice.” Without waiting for a reply, I walked outside, and took off, enjoying the air rush past me as I flew higher and higher. I flew until I felt the air get extremely thin, and it became difficult to breathe. Looking down, I saw something that surprised me, I could see the entirety of the land. I must have been at least 10 kilometers high.
Suddenly, my brain hurt and I shut my eyes. *‘I felt thin air around me, and air rushing past me.’* Opening my eyes, I saw that I hadn’t moved from where I was. The pain was gone. Shaking off the feeling, I dove, head first. I was a strait, aerodynamic line except for my wings, which were out slightly to give me balance and control. Shifting my wings slightly, I ended up doing a pin wheel spin. Evening out once more, I went back into my nose dive. I brought out my wings as to I formed the kind of plus shape that a plane had.
‘Wait, plane. What was that? Why did I compare myself to it?’ Sudden brain pains are painful. *‘I could hear the engine roaring, a voice telling me that it was time to jump, and I did, I went into a nose dive after I jumped, but with my arms in front of me. I had, hands?’* I could feel my adrenalin pumping through me. I focused back as the pains stopped.
I did an incredibly tight loop, then another, then another. Picking up a slight amount of speed each time. After about the fifth time, I shot down at the ground, going faster than I have before. I counted in meters. 7100, 6900, 6700, 6500… I was counting the numbers every two seconds, leaving me to go 100 meters a second. The air pressure around me gathered and I felt my ears start to bleed. I ignored it.
I started to spin, creating a mini tornado as I flew down, spinning faster and faster. The tornado grew until it was about 5 times my size, then held the steady size. I felt an opening in the bottom of the tornado, allowing me to see. I pushed further, causing me to start to exit the spinning air. My back hooves got ‘caught’ in the tornado and I couldn’t get them past. At least it didn’t hinder me. I continued my onslaught to the ground. My head started hurting again as I approached the ground. *‘lights were appearing around me, I was barely at the ground when they all gathered, and I was in the sky again’*
This time, I couldn’t shake the memory off. It just felt, strange. I started to wonder what I truly was. I then found myself close to the ground. 600 meters to be exact, and I would hit in less than six seconds. Five, four, three, two. I waited till the very last second before impact to adjust my flight and land the same way I landed the last time, in the same spot even. The only difference was that I landed on my hind legs this time. The shock wave that was sent out, rattled the buildings, and no, this time it wasn’t an exaggeration. The following tornado that hit, literally crumpled into the ground, throwing up dust, and anything that was not nailed down, back. I didn’t move until the dust settled. I could feel the adrenalin pumping at an all-time high. Everything felt slow. It took seven minutes for the dust to settle, although it felt like half an hour.
The dust cleared and every pony in Ponyville, as well as several pegasi, were gathered around. They saw me standing upright easily, still a pegasus, and with blood running out of my ears, and were all dumbstruck by my entrance. I quickly saw Rainbow Dash in front of me, and I called out, “You get that Rainbow Dash?”
The only reply I got from her, and most of the ponies nodded in agreement when she spoke, was, “Who... No... What are you?”
