Well, that-- SAY WHAT!?" sputtered Twilight surprised.
Suddenly, Stargazer had a horrible headache, and she put a hoof to her head. W..what is happening?
"You okay kid?" asked Rainbow Dash concerned.
"No... i'm not.... I cant remember why, but I just... knew what flying was.... and it was weird.."
"Flying? Did you perhaps have someone who showed you the sky?" Asked Twilight.
Stargazer just shook her head, but all that accomplished was make her headache worse. "I...I can't think.. I have a really bad headache.."
"Do you want a painkiller? It wasn't long ago that you came to us hurt..." 
"Rainbow Dash... You do not give a painkiller to a filly." 
"Sorry, sheesh."
"It's okay guys, I'll be fine." Replied Starchase, a bit dazed.
"Are you sure about that?"
"I'm totally sure."
"Okay...." Replied twilight uncertainty. :But if you remember anything else, let us know."
"I shall." she replied confidently, as she looked to the sky.  The sky.... a free place.... wait. something tells me I used to fly.. but I--  Why can't I remember!? 

There was a long pause. "Rainbow, I think this is more serious than it looks."

Starchase was reading a book in Twilight's library. Out of earshot, Twilight and Rainbow Dash talked over their options.
"Rainbow, I think her memory is damaged beyond the normal measures. We must resort to other things, like someone familiar, or a familiar place. Maybe that's all it takes to cure her."

The day followed with much activity, but no more success. Night soon fell upon the land, blanketing everything in it's eerie comforting moon in the sky. Starchase sat by the window, pondering her thoughts as the stars sparkled in the dark sky of indigo.

This doesn't make any sense..... who am I supposed to be? ......Will I ever find out?
But soon, her thoughts pulled her into a deep slumber, and soon, she was fast asleep.

It was a dark, dimly lit place, lit by the eerie faint glow of fireflies. The cool grass felt slightly moist with dew, and the dim air was silent... and warm. A faint breeze ruffled her mane. She looked around. The place was faintly recognizable to her.... a bit too familiar. She saw the sunset, the sky a beautiful golden orange red, blanketing the land in a faint glow of gold.  Realizing she was outside, she gave a warm sigh as she enjoyed the stoic silence.... the eerie silence..... Suddenly, there was a flash of black.... pain lanced out of nowhere. She recoiled, and saw to her horror dark blood dripping off a fresh wound, a deep wound to the shoulder. She struggled with her confused mind to find out what happened. A pair of green compound eyes met hers, laced with the dark power of a dark magic user. She felt herself light her own horn in defense as she looked around for her attacker, full of terror. Fangs lashed out for her neck, and she felt them sink in. Something awful she felt burn in her blood..... the word blossomed into her thoughts. Poison. The hard armor weighed her down.... She couldn't get up, but couldn't see her attacker fully in the low light. She saw the attacker light his horn, and aimed it at her gut. There was a single low, evil hiss in the voice," You were a misssstake from the ssstart!" She felt the horn ram... make it's mark. She felt pain... unbelievable pain, and her vision blurred as she felt herself go numb. "Enjoy death..... NT001...." was the last thing she heard, before she felt herself falling... falling....
When she woke the next morning with a startled start, she realized none of this never happened. Or did it? That was too real... Her head gave a dull throb as she tried hard to figure this all out. It was a bit before she realized she was lying on the floor next to her bed.
There was a soft knock at the door of the room she was in. 
"Starchase, are you awake?" Asked rainbow Dash's voice worriedly from the other side of the door. "I thought I heard something."

"Yeah..." replied Starchase, as she put a hoof to her head. "I just had a bad night, that's all. you can come in if you like."
