Do you really think I would let an Earth pony go through that kind of magical surge without something draining him? Think again, that was his first time. Goldie couldn't have used that kind of magic without- I'm saying too much. But yeah the fact that he wasn't frozen is some impressive magic, especially for an EARTH PONY.

I noticed there were no shipping comments. I'm disappointed you don't see the obvious. I'll reveal it soon, but just so I mess with you I'll make it complicated.

I rushed the unconscious stallion to the nearest hospital, which was five minutes at top flying speed. Then again, it was pretty draining for me to get out of the door.
Once I got there, I saw the mares I saw at the friendship palace doors: Cloudstars and Shimmering Heart. They were talking to Apple Pizza Pie and (HELPMEHELPMEHELPME!) Speed Blitz. They all saw me approaching, or heard, either would be pretty accurate, and rushed to help me get Goldie into the ER.

"What happened? How did he end up like this? Are you alright? You don't look much better than him, no offense." Shimmering Heart asked.

"Time spell, not really, I don't feel very well myself." I replied. My surroundings were starting to get fuzzy and I sat down.

Speed Blitz sat down next to me and smiled. Neither of us talked for a few minutes, but I knew I would have to say something eventually.

"Umm, can you tell me everypony's names? I would like to know the ponies I will be around for the next however long of my life." I asked him.

Speed Blitz seemed a little shocked, and it hit me that the question he was expecting was not coming up.
"Well, name the ponies you know already." he said. I told him all the ones I remembered, and described the ones I didn't know.
"So, Cherry Jubilee is married to Big Macintosh, A.P.P.'s uncle, and Lunch Box's sister is Rush Hour. Never schedule lunch with her, she's way too OCD. The two ponies you saw at Sweet Apple Acres were Dutch Apple Pie and Caramel Apple. Pumpkin Cake is the daughter of Carrot Cake and Cup Cake, and their son is Pound Cake. My parents are Rainbow Dash and Soarin, the Wonderbolts, Goldie's parents are Pinkie pie and Cheese Sandwich, Shimmering Heart's mom is Rarity, Cloudy's mom is Fluttershy, she really scares me, and I think that is it."

A.P.P. and Cloudstars came back down the pink hospital halls and told us Golden Eclair was just recovering from a magic shock.

"Not that he was safe 'round you." A.P.P. said hotly, receiving a whack in the head from Cloudy. They seemed to be having a non-verbal conversation, but Cloudstars won in the end.

"He didn't mean a thing he just said- Don't shove me!- and I hope he didn't hurt your feelings. He's just brutally honest." She said.

I rolled my eyes. "He can hate me all he wants, as long as he knows I don't care." And I didn't care.
Until I remembered I had no real friends.

"Don't lie ta me. Ah can tell yer lyin'. Ah can see it in yer eyes. You do care, 'cause ya have no friends and ya think Ah am ruinin' yer only chance of makin' 'em."

Apple Pizza Pie's purple eyes bore in to me and I froze. How the heck did he know I was lying?

"Whaaaaaaats going on here? Why is everything frozen!" Speed Blitz said, panicking. His gold eyes were wide as he waved his gold hoof in front of a nearby pony.
The pony did nothing.

Cloudstars squeezed her eyes shut as if she was trying to wake up from a dream, whimpering every five seconds.

I heard someone galloping in our direction from behind me so I turned around, right before Golden Eclair ran into me. Shimmering Heart was right behind him, and helped me pull him off of me.
"I don't know whats happening, all I know is that the nurse lady was talking to Goldie and then it was as if she had turned to stone. Goldie ran out here and, well, you know the rest."

A.P.P. glared at me. Everypony else, save Cloudy, stared at me expectantly as if I had all the answers.

"Okay, lets not lose our heads. Before we do anything, we need to find a way to unfreeze everypony. Then, well, then there's only one place to go if we're gonna figure out whats going on." I said. I had my head held up and my black mane in my eyes, trying to look like a leader.

Cloudstars opened her eyes and whispered, "Where do we need to go? I mean, I don't know of a single pony, other than Princess Twilight, that knows magic like this."

There was a lot of questions after that but I waved them aside. "We need to go to a friend of my mom's place. She knows as much, if not more, than my mother does. Right now we need to focus on unfreezing everypony." I hoped and prayed nopony listened to the way my mother speaks in a crisis, because I was copying her authority to make up for my lack of it.

"I won't tell anyone else. But if we're gonna be friends, I need to teach you to block your thoughts. I can't tune my thoughts out. I've tried." Cloudstars' silk-smooth voice said in my mind.
"I really wish you wouldn't call me out like that. I don't even care if no one hears you. It's a bit embarrassing." I replied mentally, my cheeks glowing scarlet again.

"Hey Clipsy, I can call you that right? You sound a lot like your mom. It's like you're twins! I wish my mother and I were more alike." said Shimmering Heart.
Cloudy laughed.

A.P.P. was scowling, which creeped me out a little because of his odd eyes.
"So a liar and a copy. What's next, a changeling?"

Speed Blitz stepped in between us. "Please. Both of you. I would hate for my best friend and my (ahem) princess to argue. Even though I'll stick by my friend, no offense Clipsy." he smiled in a "I'm so cool you can't take offense." kind of way.
Yeah right.

"How did all these ponies get here so suddenly?" the mare Blitz tried to un-freeze said. Her blue eyes were filled with alarm.

"Good question. I'm still trying to figure this out myself, with the help of these brilliant ponies around me of course, but we have yet to come to a conclusion. I am terribly sorry but we must be off now. Have a wonderful afternoon." Shimmering Heart said in a posh accent, then shoved us all down the hospital halls and out the door, using her magic to keep Blitz in the right direction.

Once we were outside Shimmering Heart shuddered on disgust.
"Remind me to never act like my mother ever again. Emphasis on the never."

"So, Clipsy, you said there was somepony who might know what is happening. I hope you weren't lying about it." Goldie said ins bubbly voice.

"That was one of the things ah know she wasn't lyin' 'bout." A.P.P. muttered under his breath.

"Dude, you're right next to me. I could hear every word that you just said, as well as your tone. I'm socially impaired, NOT an idiot." I said.

"Ah'm soshaly impeard, not an ideeit." he mocked, still under his breath, and then grumbled a more explicit version of, "That mare is never straight and it's gettin' on mah nerves."
Cloudstars whacked the stallion on the back of his head again, hard enough that I almost felt sorry for him.

"Yes Golden Eclair. If she doesn't know what's happening, I don't know who will." I thought of a unicorn with an orange coat and teal eyes.

"I think it's time to see my old mentor."
