"Angel, I know you don't want to eat this salad, but could you please just do it? I certainly don't want you to starve!" said Fluttershy. The light yellow pony urged a salad bowl toward a small rabbit. She sighed, and looked deeply into the rabbit's eyes. The leaves on the trees around her ruffled with an light wind.
"Please don't make me have to assert myself again. I hate doing that." She said in a pleading voice. Angel's eyes went wide with fear and he buried his face into the salad, furiously eating. Fluttershy giggle to herself. There was a low whistling sound in the distance, but Fluttershy didn't notice.
Suddenly, the ground seemed to explode a few yards away from her. She shrieked and hid behind her rabbit friend. She looked into the hole and saw a light brown mare with a ruffled and singed mane of a much darker shade of brown. The mare's wings were twisted and bruised, and also were slightly singed. The pegasus in the crater was motionless.
"Um… Oh, my… Excuse me… Are you okay?" asked a trembling Fluttershy. She waited for a response, but received none. "Oh, my goodness, this isn't good…"
She grabbed the brown pegasus by her mane and began to drag her into the cottage.
Ugh… Where am I? I thought groggily. I sat up, only to have my arms give out beneath me and made me slide back down. I looked around, my vision blurry for some odd reason. I heard a soft voice from across the room.
"Oh, good! You're awake! I was thinking that you would never wake up!" said the voice. I managed to position my aching body in a way that allowed me to see the speaker. Though my vision was blurred, I could see well enough to tell that it was a soft yellow mare with a pink mane.
"Uuugh…" I said. I actually tried to say "Where am I, and who are you?", but my body and I were disagreeing for a little while it seemed. I felt a wave of exhaustion pass over me, and I slid back down and went to sleep.
I woke up to a hard hit on my side, and my eyes shot open. I had rolled over and fallen on the floor. I remembered the yellow mare and look around the room with my no longer blurry eyes. Sure enough, there she was, sitting in a chair, reclined very far back, snoring loudly. I walked over to her.
"Um... excuse me?" I said to her. She went on snoring. I tried again and tapped her on the shoulder. "Hey, ma'am, can I ask you some things?"
The moment I touched her she sprang up and screamed like banshee. Then she looked down at me and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Oh, good, it's you. I thought it was a monster! Although I know it's not likely, it could happen!" she said, blushing. "But, anyways, you're awake! You've been asleep for about four days now." she said. I looked at her curiously.
"I don't want to seem rude, but who ARE you?" I asked.
"Oh, I'm sorry, um, my name is Fluttershy. You landed in my yard and got knocked out a while ago. I put you in my bed and took care of you." said the girl, Fluttershy. "Can I ask you what your name is?" she said.
"My name is... um... I can't remember. I don't really remember much at all." I said, realizing it just then. "I honestly can't remember anything except when I woke up and passed out while ago. Sorry."
"Oh, it's okay. I understand. Is there anything I can get for you?" she said kindly. My stomach rumbled loudly and she laughed. "I guess that answers the question." She trotted off into the small kitchen. I followed her and smelled something... familiar, and delicious.
"Is that an apple I smell?" I asked, spotting the apple. I grabbed it with my teeth and crunched it down all at once. I blushed hard when i realized what I'd done.
"I'm sorry, I was just so hungry and I-" I was stopped with a hoof to the mouth.
"It's okay, that was for you," she giggled. Suddenly I felt a soreness on my back. I looked back at my wings and saw that they were bruised. Then I realized something.
"I have wings?!" I said. Shit. I just yelled that so loud...
"Of course, silly! you are a pegasus! Just like me, see?" she said, showing off her wings.
"Well, they're useless. I don't remember how to fly." I said. "So, are you all alone out here?"
"Yeah, I live a little way off from Ponyville." she said. "Oh, yeah, I just remembered! I was going to take you into town to meet a friend of mine! She checked in on you a couple of times, she'll be glad to know you're awake."
"Yay..." said I, still feeling a soreness across my body.
[AN]I haven't named the mare yet, but if anyone reads this before chapter 3, all name suggestions will be taken and considered. Also, there will be more than one OC, but not too many. The rest of the story is first person, just so we're clear at the start. Remember to R&R! Oh, I mean, if that's okay with you. Only if you want to.[/AN]
