The group sprinted towards Ponyville hospital, with the young colt in tow. Many ponies bowed down to the rushing royals, only for them to be ignored by the group. They reached the hospital, to find the waiting room nearly empty, except for the nurse sitting behind the desk. The nurse looked up from her paperwork, and gasped when she saw the princess in front of her.
“P-princess Luna! How can I help you?” said the nurse. Luna turned to show the unconscious colt on her back, causing the nurse to gasp.
“It’s my son! He’s been injured!” replied a panicked Luna.
“Oh my goodness!” exclaimed the nurse. “I’ll go get a stretcher!” The nurse galloped away from the desk, and went through a set of doors. A few moments later, she along with another nurse and a doctor came through with a stretcher. The doctor used his magic to levitate the youngling onto the stretcher, and then the three hospital staff rolled the injured colt through the doors. Luna attempted to follow, but was stopped by the doctor.
“I’m sorry your highness, but you’ll have to stay here until we’ve assessed his condition.”
“But-but,” stuttered Luna.
“Don’t worry your highness, we’ll do everything in our power to help him.” The doctor patted Luna on the withers, and then left to go inspect the colt. Luna lowered herself to a sitting position, head hanging low. Luna could hear the faint clip clops of approaching hooves. She turned her head to gaze upon a familiar yellow Pegasus.
“Don’t worry Princess. I’m sure Midnight will be alright,” assured Fluttershy in her usual timid voice.
“Thank you kind Fluttershy, but it’s not that that worries me.”
“Then what’s the matter?” asked Twilight as she trotted up to sit next to Luna. Luna sighed as the rest of the ponies gathered around her.
“It’s just…I fear that Midnight will never accept me as his mother. And it breaks my heart, and it’s all DISCORDS FAULT!” Luna’s breath became heavy after her outburst, her shoulders rising and falling. Then Luna felt a wing drape over her withers. She looked up to see her sister, with her wing resting over her.
“Luna…in all my years, I’ve never encountered a situation quite like this but…well I don’t know what to say. Midnight, or Tristan as he likes to be called, has had his whole world turned upside down. It will take time for his anger to subside. And it will also take a lot of work for him to accept you. It won’t be easy but…well, I think you can rise to this challenge. Just be patient.” Luna sniffled, and then spoke.
“Thank you sister,” said as she offered a weak smile.
“Come on every pony. We should all return home and rest. Twilight, do you mind if my sister and I spend the night at your library?”
“Oh, um sure, I just need to run home and make sure spike finished cleaning,” replied Twilight.
“Alright, we’ll meet you there,” replied Celestia, as Twilight ran out the door, heading towards her home. A few minutes later, the group left the hospital, and returned to their respective residencies.
It was late at night, and the moon and stars hung in the sky. But to anyone who gazed upon the night, they would notice a distinct lack of the usual beauty it had become associated with. That is because Luna had just gone through the motions, without putting her soul into her art like she usually did. Luna sat on the balcony of the library gazing up at her precious moon. She had once hoped to share this sight with her son. She didn’t know if that dream would ever become a reality.
Meanwhile, Twilight was skulking around the scene of the fight between mother and son, searching for the Alicorn Amulet.
“Let’s see…this is where he landed after the magical blast. And this,” she said as she walked over to a new area. “-is where he was during the blast. So where is the amulet. Oh, I need to do some calculations. “ She used her magic to summon a quill and notebook, and started scribbling a bunch of mathematics only a complete nerd like her could understand.
“Ah ha!” she exclaimed as she finished. She turned to face her right, and took 20 paces in that direction. It brought her in front of a large oak tree. She walked around to the other side, but did not see anything there. “Hm. Maybe it landed up in the branches.” Twilight flapped her wings, causing her to ascend into the air. She hovered, while searching the tree for the amulet
After a few minutes with no luck, she eventually saw a glint out of the corner of her eye. She turned, and looked into the leaves, and saw what she was looking for. She used her magic to bring the item closer to her for inspection. She saw the red gem, only there was no amulet, just the gem. “Well, now I can give this to the Princess for her to lock away.” And with that, Twilight flew back to her home in a tree.
It was early in the morning when Luna was roused from her slumber by a prodding on her side. She could hear her name being said, though it was quiet. Luna. “Uh, five more minutes Celestia,” grumbled Luna. Luna? Luna.
“LUNA!” The princess of the night jolted awake, looking left and right. Her gaze fell upon the face of her older sister.
“Oh, sister. What is it?” she asked.
“I heard from the doctors at the Ponyville hospital sister. Midnight is going to wake up soon.”
“Well then,” said Luna as she sat up. “ Let’s get going.”
A half hour later, the entire group found themselves sitting in the waiting room of the hospital. Then, a doctor, the same one from yesterday walked through the doors.
“Princess, your son is about to wake up. I can let your group through to go see him.”
“Thank you doctor.” The group followed the doctor through the door, and came to the colt’s room. The group went into the room to find the colt sleeping in the bed. Luna walked to the side of the bed, and sat down, waiting. After a few minutes of waiting, she saw the colt rouse from his sleep.
“Midnight. Midnight, are you all right?” asked the princess.
“M-midnight?” asked the colt. “Who’s that? Who are you? Who am I?”
I would give it a try, but the Tragedy and Sad tags have scared me off.
Amnesia. Classic.
oh hell. their gonna trick him while he has amnesia.
gonna play dirty huh?
...I'm not sure I'm on board with the amnesia thing. If it is used to ease up Tristan's and Luna's bonding, I'd thread very carefully. Most of the appeal of the story (for me) comes from the fact that the main character very justifiably does not want anything to do with his biological mother when she ripped him away from his loving family and world. I hope this plot point isn't thrown out of the window.

This! This! A thousand times this.
Kudos to you, you beat me to it.
(pulls over story) Story do you know how fast you were going? You were going as fast as someone with the hershey squirts looking for a toilet.
5132619 It won't be, trust me, the end will be very satisfying
YES! FINALLY! I've been so eager to read the comin chapters of this. Yet at the ending I am confused. Did "Midnight" forget everything, or did he forget the events that just happened?
Great work by the way.
Hope to see more soon! :D
But I still hope he resists. I like stories like these. It seems like you can never find stories like this. By the way does anyone know any stories like this?
5132680 I hope he resists too, and that he demands to be made human again. It's...wrong, to FORCE someone to live a different species without any choice in the matter.
5132792 I fully agree. Though it makes for quite an interesting story plot....
5132655 Hope chapters come more often! The story is starting to get interesting!
5132619
Yeah, he'll eventually regain his memories, and then they'll be back to square one.
5132645 *See's SCP049 and jumps of joy* Sweet! Did you know you're actually going to be in one of my stories that I am currently writing?
Ok, lets get me this right:
1) Colt get transported to other world and turned into human.
2) Colt turned human lifes a normal Human live.
3) Colt turned Human get teleported back to Equestria and turned back into a Colt.
4) Colt didn't know about all this, tries to run, finds Magical Steroids (Alicorn Amulet), has a fight with his mother, get blasted by his mother and has now lost his memory.
... I say that will be interesting
OK he's ether faking the amnesia, or it's real and luna is going to be in SO much trouble for taking advantage of this later. ether way it should be interesting. hope to see another update soon.
Huh, I think he qualifies as a Traditional Changeling, or similar. Also similar to "Swapped at Birth".
If I were in this kind of situation, And I assume I lack any knowledge of MLP, I would probably shout at Luna about Mind Rape, Baleful Polymorphs, and Abduction. Also about how such actions almost universally classify you as evil. Also how your biological parents are not the same thing as your real parents, and that I want nothing to do with my obviously evil biological parent.
I would probably, once again, after calming down enough to try to figure out the situation, note the similarities to Swapped at birth and Changeling myths. The second of which would have interesting results.
I also know this would probably not do me any good, but that is beside the point.

Actully, if Luna is crass enough to take advantage of a (hopefully) temporary medical conditon like this?
I'd bet they'd be at several steps back from square one.
5134651 This.
If Luna attempts to take advantage of Tristam's Amnesia here, it'll destroy any trust he could possibly have for her when his memory eventually returns.
Amnesia.
If you ask me it's the cheapest plot device in existence.
This isn't even his finale form!
I'm loving the story by the way, it just gets better and better!
ugh... Amnesia... *rubs bridge of nose in disappointment* ugh... overused, but I do like the story, but please make the amnesia very temporary, like a few days maybe? Because total amnesia would be fucking cheap.
And you're out!
Dude, you just ruined the story by removing the most awesome part of it!
5142303 Im setting things up for the ending, trust me and just wait till its over.
cool
Looks like Doctor Horse is getting a little bold with the princess their. He actually touched one to the princesses of Equestria! The royal guard would have a field day with him if they were there.
You forgot the 'ly' at the end of the word "kind". The word should be "kindly" instead of 'kind'. This next part you can ignore if you want but the last half of the sentence would sound more like Luna if it said, ", but that's not what worries me." instead.
You forgot to put "the" in-between the words 'through' and 'door' in this sentence.
And so the plot resets. At least the amnesia should help him adjust to Equestria better. He can even end up spending some time with Luna as he regains his lost memory's. Then once he has the full prospective from both sides (his and Luna's), then he decide how much he hates Luna. No offence, but he's not going to like her to some extent. The real question for me is: Is he going to try and put hating Luna behind him or obsess over it like he did before he got amnesia?
Ok, I'll believe you. I just hope Luna spent some of her time thinking of what to say to her son at this point.
I'm looking foreword to reading the next chapter. And maybe their will be a new story about Midnight's/Tristan's adventures in Equestria after the story is over, maybe?
5179664 Thanks for the tips, only, the kind fluttershy thing, is Luna addressing Fluttershy as being kind.
5132614 You're saying that like they haven't stolen him from home and erased his adoptive parents memories already.
Love the story so far man cant wait for the next chapter
5284731 Thank you very much!
Me at the end.
5372655 Jesus Christ, why can't people trust that I am going somewhere with this?
5374252 That was me before i understood
5374447 Ok
so how is the next chapter coming along?
5383747 Haven't started yet, have other stories to update, but once I start, it should be out quickly.
thought this might happen, i'm like 90% sure i know where this is going

stay classy
Midnight, you gave yourself amnesia. Well done.
I swear if he just accepts Luna as his mother, I will not be pleased! Do you read me! No-one will be pleased!
pay me 2 bit and you got yourself a deal
