She had been falling, that was all she remembered. Nothing more than the whistling of air in her ears and the screaming in her head.
The pegasus sat up groggily, the constant beep of a heart monitor grating at her sanity. A blank faced doctor stood over her bed checking the machine hooked up to her throat. 
“You took quite a fall.” he muttered clamping something in place. The pegasus’s breathing became more rapid and her heartbeat thundered in her chest.
“Where am I?” she said fearfully eyes darting all around the white walled room, looking for some sort of escape route. The doctor put his hoof on her shoulder and instructed her to take deep breaths. 
“You are in the hospital. Calm down.” he said in a monotone. The pegasus didn’t calm down.
“I don’t know who I am!” she shouted. “I don’t know who you are, I-I can only-” 
“Memory loss, a normal occurrence when someone hits their head to hard. In your case somepony caught you while still fifty feet from the ground, and well it wasn’t good for both of you.” the doctor said as he backed away from the bed. “I’ll let you be so you can, uh, quiet yourself.” he said shutting the door rather forcefully. The pegasus shivered and swallowed as she tried to call up even the slightest shred of memory and found almost nothing. Except a glimmer of gold. It hung there, a strand of light in the dark, emptiness of her mind. The pegasus wondered what it meant, and she still couldn’t figure out who she was. There was no name on her tongue, of either pony or place. She sat back and blinked at the bright lights above her. What had happened to leave her this way? The doctor had told her memory loss, but would her memories return? 
“Hullo?” a timid voice spoke from the slight crack in the door. It widened until a shy looking white mare stepped forward. Her light green mane was pulled into a messy bun and her ocean green eyes searched the pegasus worriedly. 
“Hi.” the pegasus grumbled and pursed her lips. The mare carefully approached the bedside and her eyes flicked over the machines next to it. 
“I’m very sorry.” she dipped her head causing an eyeroll from the pegasus. 
“Well it was apparently my own fault.” she scoffed, fiddling with her blankets. The mare hummed and clicked a few buttons on the machines smooth surface. 
“You must have been doing some really crazy trick” she said softly.
“I-I?” 
“Oh yes, your memory loss. Um, well you’re quite the daredevil. I’ve seen you fly, it’s pretty spectacular.” The pegasus wore a tight frown and the mare stepped back, shuffling her hooves nervously. 
“Do you know….what I was called?” the pegasus asked anxiously. The mare jumped and nodded vigorously. 
“Yes, you were and I suppose you still are, Rainbowdash.”
