Hope you enjoy this one everybody, I am sick and putting this one together was a little tough. PLEASE leave a review, it lets me know what I'm doing right and what I could be doing better.

"Three…Two…One…CLEAR!" someone yelled

I felt a sharp pain in my chest and my eyes shot open. I was in some sort of brightly colored room with huge windows that went from floor to ceiling, which was high up and vaulted. The early morning sunlight poured through the windows. I was lying in a huge soft bed.

I went to run a hand through my hair but instead found my hoof again.

"Guess I'm still a pony" I said to myself. "Guess that was a dream." I was about to close my eyes and go back to sleep, but I saw the door on the other side of the room swing open and a large pony walked through. Not large like big, but tall and lean. She was all white, just like Rarity; she probably stood six or seven feet tall. She had both a horn and wings, both looked sort of…regal? The was wearing a diamond crown on top of her flowing mane of light blue, green, pink, and purple. She had a matching tale. She was wearing some sort of chest piece with a similar diamond. Her cutie mark was the sun.

"Oh good!" She announced "Good to see you awake Spark." She said with a smile.

Who was Spark? Oh right…I was. Wait, how did she know me?

"Um, hello to you too." I said back. "Not to be rude, but where am I? How did I get here? And who are you?"

She chuckled softly. "You, young pegasus, are in the Royal Castle in Canterlot, I brought you here after I stopped you from falling, and I am Princess Celestia, the ruler of all of Equestria."

Oh shit…I'm in the ruler of Equestria's bed. That's either very good…or very very…very bad.

"Well, can you tell me what happened?" I asked her.

"Of course, I was traveling over the forest near Ponyville with my sister, Princess Luna, and we say the fireworks display and went to investigate. When we arrived we saw you take down that manticore and the explosion that knocked you out. I saw you falling so I used my magic to catch you, Storm Cloud and your friends explained what had happened. I brought you here to recover."

"Thank you very much princess, but I really shouldn't overstay my welcome." I said while trying to get out of bed. All of a sudden as sharp pain hit me in the chest and I couldn't move.

I slowly pulled the blanket down and found that both my wings were bandaged down as well as my chest, there was an angry red blotch in the material.

"Don't move" she said with a motherly tone that instantly calmed me down. "I'm going to get the doctor." As soon as she turned and walked through the door I was up and out of bed. I didn't like feeling down and out. I tenderly walked about the room, and slowly undid the bandages around my wings and spread them out. Man they hurt, they didn't look broken, they just were a little stiff.

I decided against taking the bandage around my chest off because the angry red splotch had grown considerably. I headed over a window and looked out over Canterlot. Man, New York had nothing on this place, it was a sprawling metropolis with wide cobbled streets, parks, and respites. The NY city planner could learn a thing or two.

Then I suddenly caught my reflection in the glass of the window, about half of my face was bandaged up, I decided to risk it and took off the wrappings. It wasn't bad, I two fresh scars running parallel from below my right eye to the bridge of my snout. I almost looked like a badass. I smiled at the notion which caused some pain. Then I noticed something else in the reflection, it was like a black pony with bight all blue eyes with white pupils, a short horn and bug like wings, it looked like swiss cheese with holes and notches all over its legs, wings, and tail.

When I turned to look behind me I didn't see anything. I just shrugged it off as a post traumatic hallucinations or something.

Just then the door opened and Cloud walked in followed by Princess Celestia and a blue unicorn who was wearing a starch white jacket and levitating a red cloth bag behind him, I assumed that was the doctor.

"Spark!" Cloud called out as he ran over to me. "Glad to see that you're up and about." He pulled me into a hug which caused me to wince. "Oh, sorry." He said while he backed off.

Princess Celestia come up to me and reprimanded me "I thought I told you to stay in bed."

"I've just never been in Canterlot before, I just wanted to check out the view." I didn't know what else to say, I felt like I was being scolded like my foster mother used to.

The doctor came up and immediately went to work. He levitated me over the bed and slowly peeled off the bandage, what I saw made all the blood rush from my face. My entire side was stitched up and raw. The doctor seemed unfazed, which I will give him some major credit for. He bandaged me up and injected me with something for the pain.

"So Doc, any clue when I'm free to leave?" I asked while he was finishing up.

"Well, most of the damage is superficial, so hang around for a bit to make sure there isn't any major bleeding then you're free to go." He said with a smile. That surprised me, I thought I was going to have to stay for at least another day or so.

The doctor left and Cloud looked like he was about to say something but was cut off by the princess. "Storm Cloud, could you excuse us? I need to have a word with Spark." She said

"Uh, sure thing Princess." Cloud said on his way out, he closed the door behind him.

"What is it Princess?" I asked her while she was walking towards the window.

"Spark, you aren't from around here are you?" She asked.

How did she know? How much did she know? I had to play this carefully, if she found out I'm not really a pony she might throw me in jail, or kill me!

'Calm down, I'm not going to hurt you.' I heard the princess's voice. I looked at her, but she back was towards me.

No, she didn't say anything, I told myself.

'No, I didn't say anything Spark, I thought it.' The voice said again. I looked up to see Celestia facing me, her lips weren't moving but she was talking to me.

'I figured that you weren't a regular pony, very few souls would try to match up against a manticore unarmed' She said…or didn't say.

That's it, I'm losing my mind, I said aloud.

Celestia giggled, 'No, you mind is fine from what I can tell, and from what else I can tell is, that you aren't who you tell people you are. So why don't you tell me, who are you?' she thought to me.

"Got it, magical mind reading pony, why didn't I see that coming?" I said aloud. I didn't have much of a choice. I told her everything.
