Well hello there..
I still can't believe I wrote this... haha. Anyway, I decided to try my hand at writing one of these MLP things... I was inspired to write this by thunderhawk6894 and taz2723, you should check out their stories... no seriously, they're really good. :P Anywho, I wanted to try and get the intro out of the way, so it's a long chapter. I hope you guys enjoy it. Please review, I will read them. And I will try to either post every other day or at least twice a week, I still haven't decided. Now enough of my ramblings, let's start this! :D

Ugh… was all he could think about as he returned to the land of the living. My head feels as if someone smashed it between two cymbals.

"So you're finally awake." A very calm feminine voice said in his head.

"Who are you?" He asked, suddenly frightened at the thought of someone invading his mind.

"Do not worry young colt; I won't harm you." It said again. He could almost feel the smile in her voice.

"…Colt? What are you talking about?" he asked, his fear stopping his heart.

"I think it would be best if you opened your eyes." She said with a sigh.

He struggled to open his eyes, his eyelids felt heavy. When he finally managed to open them, the room was too brightly lit to see. He put his arm in front of his eyes, trying to let them adjust. His vision was blurry so he blinked a few times. He swore he saw a hoof attached to his arm instead of a hand. He continued to blink, trying to clear his vision, thinking there must be something wrong with him. After several seconds of blinking and he still saw the forest green arm with the hoof attached, his heart leaped out of his chest as he started to panic.

"I have hooves again!" He screamed, tumbling out of the bed.

He landed on the light grey and tan linoleum floor with a thud. His back stung as he felt muscles he didn't know he had contract. He turned to look and he saw two small green wings sticking out of his back, near where his shoulder blades were.

"I have wings too!?" he screamed again, his wings flapping as he tried to unconsciously control them. His wings failed and he tumbled into a roll as his face smacked into the floor.

"What do you think you're doing; you should be in bed." Another female voice, kind but with a motherly tone said.

He looked up to see a white pony with a light pink mane and tail stare down at him. She had a nurse's cap on her head, with a red cross with pink hearts in the corners on her flank. Her sapphire blue eyes were filled with concern and she walked towards him.

His eyes grew as he couldn't believe what he saw. "A tal... talking... p... pony." He managed before the world grew dark and he fell to the floor again.

He moaned again as he heard the steady beeping of a heart monitor. He heard several voices echoing in the room. He forced his eyes open once more to finally get a good look at the room he was in.

The room was pretty large, able to accommodate three large beds and the medical equipment the pony lying in the bed needed. He could see the blue paneled walls, with their black swirls and the leaf green ceiling. He was already familiar with the floor, having met it earlier. He looked around and noticed that the off-white curtain was shut around the bed on his left. He saw what looked like three silhouettes outside the door, the glass window showing their shadows. His heart monitor steady beeps grew slightly faster as his heart raced with fear. The three shadows turned their heads and the door opened inwards revealing the three ponies. He recognized one of them; the one in the middle was the white pony with the nurse's cap.

The pony on the left was… just amazing to look at. She held herself in a way that she had to be royalty. She was also nearly the size of both of her companions if they stood on each other. Her horn was as long as my arm and her wings were the same size as she was long. Her white coat shone in the brightness of the room, her golden crown and necklace sparkling in the light. Her mane and tail were a swirl of color, almost like a light rainbow. On her flank was a yellow orange image of the sun. Her light magenta eyes were filled with concern as she looked down at him. He strangely recalled having met this pony before, but couldn't remember where.

The one on the right was not as impressive as her companion, but was still a sight to behold. Her lavender coat was gleaming in the light as she walked towards him. Her mane and tail were mostly sapphire blue but with a hint of violet and a streak of pink. On her flank was an image of two big stars, one slightly larger than the other on top of each other. The larger one was pink as the smaller star was white and they were both surrounded by several even smaller white stars. Her horn barely poked out among her hair. Her violet eyes were also filled with concern as she looked at him.

"So it seems your finally awake, you gave us quite a scare." The Nurse said.

"Who… who are you? Where am I? How did I get here?" He asked, completely lost. His muddled brain couldn't keep up with what his eyes saw and just gave up.

"I think it would be best if you left us alone Nurse Redheart." The regal white pony said, her voice sounding vaguely familiar.

Nurse Redheart looked like she was going to argue, but just sighed and muttered, "As you wish Princess Celestia", as she walked out of the room and shut the door.

Silence enveloped the room as the three ponies stared at each other. He stared at the lavender colored one, her eyes drawing him in. She noticed him staring at her and went to speak when the one called Celestia interrupted.
"It's all right my faithful student; he doesn't understand what's going on." She said, her voice still setting off bells in his head.

The student looked at her teacher and nodded. He stared at them even more confused, not understanding. Celestia walked over and put her golden hoof on his shoulder and said.

"You must be very confused, but let me try and explain it to you." She said, taking her hoof off his shoulder. "You are in the land known as Equestria, where I and my sister rule. This is my faithful student, Twilight Sparkle. Introduce yourself Twilight." She said, with Twilight cautiously walking closer to the bed.

"Hi nice to meet you; I know you are really scared right now but Princess Celestia will figure out what's going on." She said. She was silent for a moment before extending one of her hooves in a greeting. He looked at it then back at her eyes. He slowly lifted his and gently tapped it against hers. She gave him a sad smile and he tried to do the same. Princess Celestia gently put her hoof on Twilight's back and Twilight nodded. She headed towards the door and before she left, she gave him an encouraging smile before disappearing behind the door.

Celestia's horn was illuminated in a golden glow and one of the chairs against the far wall flew towards and landed right next to her and she sat down, not saying anything. She gave him a smile and cleared her throat. "Now, let's get down to business."

He stared at her. "I must be dreaming; there's no way this could be happening…"

She smiled at him again. "This is no dream, I'm afraid. This is all real." She paused for a moment. "What is it that you remember last?"

He put his head in his hooves and was silent. "The last thing I remember was a bright flash and then I woke up here. I… I can't even remember my own name." he said with a bitter laugh.

She patted his shoulder. "Well, I can help to try and fill in the few details I know."

He looked at her. "Anything you could tell me I would greatly appreciate."

She looked at him. "The only thing that I know for certain is another pony by the name of Fluttershy found you while walking in Everfree Forest looking for one of her lost pets. She found you in a crater; you were not in the best condition." She said, looking at his body.

He glanced down and just noticed the numerous bandages wrapped on him. His eyes grew as he frantically prodded his body, trying to feel if he was missing anything.

"I take it that you don't remember landing in that crater?" She asked.

"No…" He said as he shut his eyes, trying to remember. "I kinda remember seeing…a horse-like figure… but he didn't seem right."

Her eyes narrowed. "What do you mean didn't seem right? Could you describe him?"

He grimaced as he tried to remember. "His… his head looked like a horse, but his body and legs didn't. One leg looked like lion, while another looked like an eagle claw and another looked like a goats. His eyes didn't seem normal either…"

She closed her eyes and sighed. "It seems we haven't seen the last of him, I'm afraid."

"You know him I take it?" He said, giving a little laugh.

"Oh yes, but I thought Twilight and her friends locked him away forever. Looks like I was wrong again." She said. She looked at him. "His name is Discord of chaos, the god if you will."

He gave her a sad smile. "I wish I would've known; I'd give him a welcome back basket."

She laughed and it echoed around the room. "You don't understand what that means for him to return."

"I was always told I was a good listener and a fast learner." He said, glancing at his wings.

She smiled. "Usually when he shows up; it always brings disaster to Ponyville."

"Umm, not to interrupt but Ponyville, what's that?" He asked.

"That is the city we are currently in; you are in the Ponyville hospital." She answered.

He felt his face get pale and he leaned against the pillows.

"Is something the matter?" She said concern in her voice.

"I was never one for hospitals." He said, taking a deep breath.

Her horn glowed again and the window in the room opened, a slight breeze wafted through; the fresh air seemed to calm him slightly. "Thank you." He said a smile on his face. She gave him the smallest of smiles. He suddenly realized he still hasn't seen what his pony form looked like. He glanced around, trying to look for a mirror. She understood as if reading his mind and a mirror materialized in front of him. He gasped, not ready for what he saw.

He had a dark brown mane and it was short and spiky, his mane just above his eyes. His tail was the same color as his mane, but was shorter than any that he had seen, looking as if somepony had hacked his off with a knife. His eyes were a dark sea green in color. He had a white scar running vertical along his right eye, from his eyebrow to cheekbone. He had a forest green coat, his black hooves standing out. His green wings were flat against his sides. He noticed that he didn't have anything on either side, no picture like the others.

He was silent the entire time as his eyes grew larger. He finally put the mirror down and put his head in his hooves. He started to laugh, a small pained laugh that grew into full blown laughter. Celestia stared at him, concern filled her eyes.

He was silent as tears started to fall down his face. He wiped them away. "I'm sorry, I'm just so confused and lost... ha-ha I guess I'm crazy."

She gave him a sad smile. "It'll be alright, we'll figure out what happened. I promise."

He smiled at her. "Thank you again, Princess Celestia."

She got off the chair and stretched; walking over to him she lightly tapped him on the shoulder. "But in the meantime, I suggest you try to learn about Equestria. Unfortunately, duty calls and I must leave. But I will have Twilight show you around and help you, if you don't mind." She said.

He laughed, actually meaning it. "Of course I don't mind, I will gladly accept her help." He said with a smile.

She smiled back at him and looked at the door. "Twilight, could you come here for a minute?" she said, raising her voice so it could be heard outside. The door opened and Twilight briskly walked in the room.

"Yes Princess?" she asked, looking at her teacher.

"It seems that…" she started, but stopped and started laughing instead. Twilight and he looked at her, then each other; a question on both their faces. She stopped laughing and glanced at him. "It seems we forgot your name."

He smiled and chuckled softly. "I don't remember my name."

"Well, now would be a good time as any to make a name."

He was quiet. "How about…Cloud Flash?"

"That'll work." Celestia said; then looking at Twilight. "Cloud Flash doesn't know anything about Equestria and I was wondering if you could show him around and help him get settled in?"

Twilight looked at Flash for a moment. "Of course I will Princess." She said with a smile.

"That's good to hear. Maybe introduce him to the others." Celestia said as she started walking towards the door. She bent down to Twilight and whispered, "Especially Fluttershy; she seemed worried about him." Twilight looked up at Celestia and nodded. Celestia turned around and looked at Flash. "I suggest you try and take it easy for a few days."

He nodded as she left, leaving the two in the room alone.

Minutes ticked by as they stared at each other, not knowing what to say. Eventually, Twilight looked at the floor, scratching the back of her head. "So…are you feeling any better?"

Flash coughed. "I am actually; I think I can try walking again." He threw the blue covers off him and gingerly stepped on the floor. Twilight's eyes grew as she quickly came over and grabbed his arm.

"What are you doing? Princess Celestia said to take it easy."

He stared at her. "Walking isn't taking it easy?" He said, smiling at her.

She stared at him, mouth open a little, before she realized he was joking. She let go of him and shook her head. "I'm sorry; I didn't mean to pester you."

He laughed. "It's alright, don't worry about." He stopped as his four legs started shaking. "Um, Twilight, I hate to bother, but could you help me get my legs back?"

She looked at his legs and as he started walking around the room, she thought he was going to fall. She walked behind him, ready to catch him as he slowly made his way across the room. After several minutes, he was covered in sweat and he made his way back towards the bed.
He grinned. "I guess I need to exercise more and lay off the doughnuts."

She just stared at him. "You like doughnuts?"

Before he could say anything, he was interrupted as the door flung open and five more ponies came in. One was continuously bouncing up and down as if she had springs on her hooves. They all crowded around the bed and were talking all at once. His head began to hurt and everything started to get dark. He would have fallen to the floor if Twilight wasn't ready to catch him.

It was quiet in the room when he came to, the lights off and the window still open. The bright moonlight lit the room as he briefly looked around. He pushed the blanket off himself and made his way towards the window. He sighed as he leaned against the windowsill, staring at the bright, big, beautiful moon surrounded by the twinkling stars. He stared at the green landscape dotted with houses that were themselves closed in by beautiful green trees.

I wish I could remember something, anything! Everything that made him unique in the world was gone, replaced with black emptiness. He leaned his head against his hooves and cried quietly. He felt the gentle touch of a hoof on his back, making him turn around to see another pony staring at him, her eyes pools of blue.

Her light golden coat gleamed in the moonlight, her eyes a sparkling ocean. Her silky pink mane hid most of her face. Her flank had three purple butterflies on it.

"Um, if you want, I can leave you alone." she said, her voice barely a whisper.

He wiped his eyes, the tears gone. "I'm sorry; I didn't think anypony was here." He said with a faint smile.

"It's alright; it was my turn to stay here. I mean, if that doesn't bother you." She said, looking like she was trying to hide under her mane more.

He laughed a little. "It doesn't bother me one bit, I'm just not good at meeting new ponies." He corrected.

She smiled. "Neither am I but they kept saying that it'll be good for me." She said, slightly looking at him through her mane.

He looked at her quizzically. "Who's they, if you don't mind me asking."

She walked over the other side of the window and looked out. "My friends; they say it would help me come out of my shell."

He started laughing, holding his bandaged ribs. Her face suddenly had a pink hue to it. "I know that feeling. My parents use to say the same thing." His eyes grew as the memory popped back into his head. He grinned. "Thank you."

She was under her mane again. "For what; I mean, if you don't mind telling me."

He smiled even bigger. "For helping me get a memory back. You know you don't have to keep asking me if I mind."

She was completely hidden. "Oh, ok. I think I'm going to go now." She said as she started backing up towards the door.

"Wait!" He suddenly said as he lightly grabbed her shoulder. She eeped and dropped to the ground, shaking, burying her head underneath her mane and hooves. He immediately bent down and lightly touched her shoulder. "I'm sorry, here; let me get you a blanket." He said as he walked over to the bed and grabbed the blanket off of it and dragged it over to where she was still on the floor. He laid it gently on her and waited for her to say something.

As the seconds ticked by and she still was shaking, he frowned. He leaned down to her and very carefully lifted her mane. She had her eyes closed and hidden behind her hooves. He immediately let go and backed away slowly.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to." He said as he laid down and smacked his head on the floor.

He heard a murmur and looked up to see her looking at him with a tear in her eye. "I'm sorry, I'm just a little shy around new ponies and I don't like when people raise their voices." She said if it was possible in an even quieter voice than before.

He frowned and looked at her. "I didn't mean to; it's just that I… I enjoy your company and I was wondering if you would like to talk some more. You did help me recover a memory after all." He said the last few words with a ghost of a smile on his muzzle.

"Are you sure? I mean, I'm not bothering you or anything?" She asked. She had finally stopped shaking.

He smiled. "Not at all; your one of the few ponies I like talking to." That I can remember.

She smiled a little. "Thank you." She said as she grabbed the blanket and slowly walked over to Flash. She laid the blanket down on him and she sat next to him, giving him plenty of space. They both looked at each other and quickly stared outside at the moon.

He glanced at her again. "My name is Cloud Flash, by the way." He stuck a hoof out towards her.

She stared at the hoof and very carefully touched his with one of her own. "My name is Fluttershy."

His eyes grew as he recognized her name. "You're the pony that found me?" He said, maybe a little too loud, she had started to scoot away. He quickly lowered his voice. "Sorry, I just remember Princess Celestia mentioning that you found me in a crater near a forest or something."

She was hiding again. "Yeah, I was looking for Angel and I saw something hit the ground near my house and I found you in the middle. I'm sorry that I couldn't get help in time."

"It's alright; I'm just glad I didn't break your house or hurt you." He stopped. "I didn't right? Angel?"

"No, no you didn't. You missed my house but you went through a couple trees. And Angel is one of my oldest friends; he's a white bunny that keeps me company."

A memory played in his head. He remembered seeing Fluttershy as he was plummeted towards her house and had changed course to fly through the trees instead. He faintly remembered seeing a white rabbit next to her.

"Um… Mr. Flash; are you ok? Am I bothering you?" She said, her voice snapping him out of his daze.

"No, it's fine Fluttershy and please, call me Flash, you don't have to be formal with me." He said with a smile. He coughed a little. "I just remembered something else. It seems that I remember almost crashing through your house but I turned into the trees."

Her smile that she had on was gone; replaced by a look of horror. "You mean you turned into the trees intentionally? Why?"

His face grew warm. He quickly looked out the window to avoid looking into her eyes. "…So I wouldn't hurt you… or Angel."

She was silent. "Oh." Was all she said, before an even quieter, "Thank you Flash."

He glanced at her when he saw her smiling, he smiled too.

They sat there in silence, watching the moon set and the sun rise with brilliance, the orange rays mixing with the dark grey of night. Fluttershy yawned and he did too. They looked at each other and laughed, her melodious laughter echoing with his.

His face quickly became flushed with color. Her eyes grew concerned. "What's wrong?" She asked.

He looked into her eyes. "Your smile it's… it's very pretty. You should smile more."

She was silent. "You should too. It makes me feel better." She said after a moment.

His eyes grew when she said that and before he could say anything, the door opened to reveal Nurse Redheart balancing a tray on her back.

"Ok Flash, it's time for breakfast…" she trailed off, noticing the scene.

Both Fluttershy and Flash were under the same blanket, her head leaning against his shoulder and his head on top of hers. They were staring out the window at the sun rise. They both jumped at her voice and turned a bright shade of red as Nurse Redheart apologized while trying to hide her giggle. She placed the tray on the little table next to his bed. "There's food for you to Fluttershy."

"Thank you." She mumbled, hidden under her mane and staring at her hooves.

Nurse Redheart walked over to Flash and looked at him. He wouldn't meet her eye and she sighed. "I can't help you if you won't look at me." She commanded.

He looked at her and she started checking to make sure he was all right. After several awkward minutes, Nurse Redheart clapped her front hooves together. "You still could use some rest for a few more days, but otherwise you seem to be fine. Now if you will follow me so we can sign you out of here." She said and looked at the food on the table. "After breakfast of course, I did just make it."

He was out of the hospital in a clear summer morning, the sun brightly overhead. Fluttershy was right next to him. He glanced at her and couldn't help but smile. She smiled back and asked him. "So where do you want to go, I mean if you don't mind me coming along."

He laughed. "I don't mind, I just don't want you to be late for anything because you were helping me."

"I didn't have any plans today, expect I need to go home to check on my pets. Angel won't be happy." She said with a sigh.

"Don't worry, I'll help you." He said with a smile, before realizing what he said. "I mean, if you don't mind." He added quickly.

She glanced up at him looking into his sea green eyes. "No, I couldn't ask. You just got out of the hospital, you should relax."

"Don't worry about it; call us even for helping me last night." He said, a blush rising to his cheeks as he thought about it.

Her face was red also. "Are you sure? I mean, I appreciate the offer, but you don't have to."

He shook his head. "I insist. If there's anything I can do to help, I'll gladly do it."

She smiled. "Ok, thank you." She said, looking into his eyes. They seem to mesmerize her and she kept staring at them. The same for him; he kept on staring into those two pools of blue. He was so lost in them that he didn't see the pink blur that tackled him to the ground.

He blinked and saw that it was one of the ponies he briefly met in the hospital, the one with springy feet. He couldn't breath as she was surprisingly more heavy then she looked.

"I'm glad you're out of the hospital. I don't like them. They give me the creeps. Hey, I don't recognize you and I know everypony and I mean everypony in Ponyville." She said in one long, no-stopping-for-breath burst. "Does that mean you're new?" she asked, her smile reaching her eyes.

"Um, Pinkie, don't you remember what Twilight said yesterday?" Fluttershy said, her voice a little louder than when she had been talking to him.

Pinkie put a hoof to her chin and lightly tapped it. "Hmm..." she said in thought. "Oh right, you're the pony that Fluttershy found in the crater and lost his memory. Which means I can still plan my party; its tomorrow at noon so don't be late." She said as she zipped away and disappeared.

"Well, that was….interesting." Flash said as he got up. "Is she always like that?" He asked Fluttershy, who shrugged.

"Pinkie Pie is well, Pinkie Pie." She said with a giggle.

He smiled and they started walking again. He thought about yesterday. "Oh, um… does Twilight live near here?" he asked her.

"Yes, she lives in the library. It's the giant tree near the center in town. I could take you there if you want." She said.

"I would love to see what your library looks like. I've always loved to read." He said as he stopped in his tracks as another memory popped up. It showed him as a colt sitting in a library and reading and the stacks of books grew increasingly larger the longer the memory went on. He felt a hoof on his shoulder as he came back he saw Fluttershy's bright blue eyes staring at him, full of concern. He merely smiled. "I'm ok, just another memory. It seems like I grew up in a library." He said with a chuckle.

She still looked at him with worry but they continued to walk towards the tree. The tree wasn't that big on the outside. He knocked on the door and it was opened by a small purple dragon.

"It's a public library, you don't have to knock." He said. He seemed to just notice Fluttershy. "Hey Fluttershy, how are you?" He looked at Flash and narrowed his eyes. "Who's this?"

"Hello Spike. This is my friend Cloud Flash. Flash, this is Twilight's helper Spike." She said, looking at her hooves again.

Spike stared at Flash, standing in the doorway. He hesitantly stuck his hoof out to shake Spike's claw. Spike stared at the hoof and very reluctantly shook it. He seemed to keep his eyes on Flash as they entered the library which was surprisingly much larger on the inside than it looked on the outside. The walls were lined with books, traveling around the windows and up to the second floor. Flash saw Twilight surrounded in the middle of the room with piles of books all around her. Several were levitating in front of her, covered in a purple glow as her horn was covered in the same glow. She seemed to skim through them, as if she was desperately searching for something.

"Hey Twilight, how are you?" Flash asked carefully picking his way through the stacks.

She glanced up and smiled at him. "Hey Flash, I'm good. How are you? I take it your better or did you sneak out of the hospital?" She said with a sly grin.

He grinned back. "If I did sneak out, they would never notice. But no, they actually discharged me this morning. It seems as if I'm better."

"That's good to hear. When we left, I was worried." She said, still reading her books.

He smiled and almost didn't notice the change in Fluttershy. Something flashed in her eyes but was quickly gone. He ignored it for now and continued to talk to Twilight. "So whatcha looking for?"

"A memory spell; I thought I read one somewhere but I can't find it." She said as she laid one of the books in a pile and picked up another one.

"Oh, that would probably come in handy. But Fluttershy has helped me recover some memories too."

Twilight looked over and just noticed her friend and waved. Fluttershy smiled and waved back. Twilight tilted her a little and stared at Flash. He gulped and stared back.

"Is something wrong?"

Twilight was silent for a long time, staring into his eyes. Her horn emitted a faint yellow light and she narrowed her eyes at him. Suddenly, she smiled and the glow was back to the purple. "No, nothing is wrong." She got up and put the books in a new pile. "Hey Flash, will you come here for a second?" She said, walking into the other room.

Fluttershy and Flash looked at each other, confusion written on their faces. He shrugged and followed Twilight. He entered a room lit only by the window. As he walked in, the door shut and locked behind him. His eyes grew as suddenly there was a bright flash and a loud pop and the ponies from the hospital appeared in the room.

A cyan colored pony with wings and a rainbow colored mane and tail lunged at Flash and pinned him helplessly against the wall. She glared at him, not saying anything. The other three were staring at him.

One of them, a white coated one with three diamonds on her left flank and purple hair with blue eyes said in an oddly royal accent; "I got them as fast as I could Twilight darling, you know I'm not good at the teleportation spell, so what is the big deal?"

Another, an orange colored pony with blonde hair and a cowboy hat, joined in. "Twi, you know first day o'summer is the busiest. Ah and Big Mac got a lot of work to do."

The cyan Pegasus that was holding Flash said, "Just say the word and he won't remember what color his mane is." She said, glaring at him.

Twilight looked at all of them and then stared at Flash. "It seems he got Fluttershy to open up to him." They all stared at him; even the Pegasus seemed lost for words.

He finally got the courage to answer. "Um… I take it that's a bad thing?"

"Not at all, it's just rare for her to do that. She's a very shy, quiet pony, well like her name suggests. It speaks volumes for you if she opens up to you." The white one said.

"Like Rarity said, it's a good thing sugar cube. That means she really likes ya." The orange one added.

The Pegasus, quiet till now said, "I still wanna hit him."

Twilight smiled a little and said, "You can put him down Dash, I don't think he's going to run." She gave him a quizzical look, he shook his head no.

She let go and he fell on floor. He was still worried about the angry Pegasus that wanted to punch his lights out. The other three stared at him in a new regard.

Before anypony could say anything else, Pinkie Pie crashed through the open window and collided with Dash. They tumbled together till their momentum stopped them with Pinkie on top of Dash.

"What are you doing Dashie, it isn't nap time." She said giggling.

"Ugh, get off me Pinkie." Dash groaned, pushing her friend off her.

Pinkie got off and looked around and noticed me and the other ponies. "What's going on? Is it a party? And you didn't invite me?" She said, the last few words seemly deflated her.

"No Pinkie, we were just introducing ourselves to Fluttershy and Twilight's new friend." Rarity said. That seemed to make Pinkie happy as she started bouncing again.

"Oh, I wanna meet their new friend. Where is he?" She said, glancing around till she noticed Flash on the ground. "Hey, I remember you; I still gotta throw you a party. Don't forget its tomorrow at noon." She went to take off till Dash grabbed her tail.

"What do you mean you recognized him? How did you talk to him when he was passed out?" She asked through clenched teeth.

"I met him earlier with Fluttershy. He was going to help her with her animals." Pinkie said, still trying to run.

Dash's mouth opened and the momentum flew Pinkie into the wall. She laid there on the ground, her head spinning. The group looked at him with agape mouths and raised eyebrows.

"What?" He asked, a cold chill going down his spine.

"She won't let anyone help take care of her animals." Twilight answered, seemingly dumbstruck.

The orange pony whistled and looked at Rarity and Twilight. "Looks like she fell head over hooves for this one."

Flash stared at the group. "What are you talking about?"

Rarity walked over to him. She stared into his eyes without blinking. He nervously shifted his eyes back and forth every few seconds and tried to avoid her gaze. Finally he sighed and felt color flow brightly into his cheeks. "Yes?" He asked as his voice shook.

"How do you feel about our friend and I can tell when you're lying." She said, still not blinking.

He gulped very visibly.

Fluttershy and Spike were waiting in the main room as Spike put books away carefully to avoid looking at her. She gently picked at the floor with her hoof, waiting for Twilight and Flash to return. Just thinking about Flash gave her goose bumps. She could just imagine his sea green eyes staring at her and his smile, the memory making her smile. She heard a loud crash coming from the room they went into and she slowly made her way towards the door. Spike suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

"Hey Fluttershy, how are you? You seem awfully quiet." He said, rubbing his two clawed hands together.

"Oh I'm fine Spike, thanks for asking. Maybe a little tired. How are you?"

"I'm great. I just wish Twilight wouldn't destroy the library every day." He said with a nervous laugh, glancing at the door.

"What's wrong Spike?" She asked, trying to find a way to get to the door.

He blocked the door completely with his little body. "Nothing's wrong. I'm just… uh… not supposed to let you in there."

"Why not; what are they doing in there? I mean if you wouldn't mind telling me." She asked, debating with herself to try the Stare on Spike.

A nervous sweat drop appeared on his face. "Um… cause they're trying to clean it. Yeah, that room is filthy and she wanted him to help her clean it."

Fluttershy had no choice and unleashed the Stare on Spike. He crouched low to the ground and covered his head. She gently pushed him out of the way and walked towards the door. She noticed the purple aura surrounding the door knob before she gently knocked.

Flash was backed up against the door, afraid to answer Rarity. "Well, you see, I...uh… really like Fluttershy. She's helped me get a couple memories back and she understands me not being the most social of ponies. I enjoy spending time with her." He blurted the last part. As he did, Rarity finally blinked. She tilted her head towards Dash and Dash hovered closer to him.

"Explain that last part." Dash said, daring him not to answer, her hooves crossed over her chest.

Before he could answer, there was a slight knock at the door and Fluttershy's voice came from the other side. "Is everything ok in there? I mean, do you need any help cleaning?"

Everypony looked at him and he cringed. He didn't want to lie to the pony he had just met. "Everything is fine Fluttershy; there was more dust in here then Twilight thought, we'll be out in a few minutes ok?" He closed his eyes, hoping she would pick up on the stress in his voice.

She was silent. "Ok, but if you need my help, please ask. I mean, if you want to. Flash do you still want to help me with my pets?" she asked.

"Of course I will, I just have to finish this then we can leave ok?" I asked.

"Ok, but please try and hurry. They'll be really hungry. I mean if you can." She said as they heard her faint hooves clack against the floor.

Everypony wiped imaginary sweat off their brow as they continued the interrogation. Dash still stared at Flash as his brain tried to figure out a way of the situation, but none came.

Twilight stepped in between them. "Ok guys; I think that's enough for one day. He did just get out of the hospital."

"Thanks Twilight." Flash muttered to her.

"Don't think this is over Mr. Cloud Flash. You are in dangerous water with us." She said an eerie look in her eyes. "I'm warning you now, even if Princess Celestia told me to help you, which she has, I would still make your life miserable if you hurt Fluttershy in any way, shape, or form. Are we understood?" She said, staring at him like Rarity did mere moments ago. He looked at every other pony in the room and they all had the same look in their eyes.

He nodded slowly. "I wouldn't do anything to hurt her. I swear."

"I hope your right, for your sake." Rarity said.

"You need to Pinkie Pie swear." Pinkie said who was right in his face.

"Huh?" He said, confused.

"Say cross my heart, hope to fly, stick a cupcake in my eye." She said.

He repeated the odd phrase and she had him stick his right hoof on his left eye.

"Okey-dokey-lokey, he won't hurt her you guys." She said, completely convinced. The others just shook their heads as Twilight released the magic on the door knob and they walked out of the room.

Fluttershy was staring at her hooves, kicking at the floor. Spike was nowhere to be seen, having ran into the other room. She looked up as she heard the door open and saw all her friends come out of the room.

They walked over to her and one by one greeted her with hugs. She smiled as they did it and when it was all done, she mumbled. "I didn't know all you were here."

Rarity and Twilight shared a glance and Rarity answered. "Well, we heard Twilight was cleaning the library and she needed help so we came over. We've been in the back and didn't hear you guys come in."

Fluttershy noticed that Flash was very quiet and he intently stared at the floor. She continued to talk to her friends but kept her eye on him. Soon however, she had to leave to take care of her pets. She hugged them all good bye and her and Flash headed out of the town towards her cottage.

Rarity waited till she could no longer see either of them till she started talking. "So girls; opinions?"

They were all quiet; expect Pinkie Pie, who was hopping up and down. "I like him, he's funny." She said, laughing.

"You like everypony Pinkie." Dash said.

"You have to admit that they are a lot like each other." Twilight said.

"Did you see her watch him the entire time? She couldn't take her eyes off him." Rarity finished.

"What about you Applejack?" Pinkie asked the orange cowboy hat wearing pony.

"Well, as long as he don't hurt her, Ah don't see a problem with it." Applejack finally said.

"My thoughts exactly, let's just keep an eye on those two though." Rarity said.

"I hope he was serious about not hurting her though." Twilight mumbled as the rest of the group left for their homes.

Fluttershy knew something was bothering Flash. He hadn't said a word since they had left that room or taken his eyes off the ground. She was extremely worried that something happened in that room but did not want to risk hurting their friendship. She sighed a little and looked at him again to notice him looking at her, pain and worry in his eyes.

She smiled a little and she saw a hint of one on him, but it quickly disappeared. She frowned and a blush came on her face. She slowly and hesitantly got closer to him, not really sure what she was doing. She put a hoof around his shoulders, feeling him tense briefly, but slowly relaxed as he leaned into her. He looked into her eyes and genuinely smiled.

She smiled back as she looked up and saw her house not that far away. She took her hoof off him as she opened the door and led him into the food storage room. She directed him in how to feed certain animals and how much to give them. As he nodded in understanding, a cloud of doubt drifted across his face but quickly dissipated. He leaned forward and kissed her cheek before quickly leaving her stunned as he went to go feed her pets.

Stupid, stupid; what in the world are you thinking? You're going to get flayed alive by that Pegasus! He wasn't sure what happened, it just felt right. He shook his head and tried to distract himself with feeding her animals.

After a few hours, he had run out of animals to care for. Most of the animals at first were hesitant, trusting only Fluttershy. He sat there and waited as eventually they began to trust him enough to quickly get their food. All but Angel; he hadn't liked Flash and threw the food in his face. Angel had then disappeared into the house, probably to bother his owner. He looked at the two story house and noticed her pink mane sitting in the kitchen, staring at something. He didn't want to face her just yet so he stayed outside, watching the last rays of light slowly fade behind the mountains and trees.

He heard Fluttershy's soft hooves clack on the ground and he saw her sit next to him. His face took on a healthy dose of red and he was afraid to look at her. He continued to stare at the waning sun, afraid that he had ruined their friendship.

I'm such an idiot. His vision was slightly blurred with tears. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath. She leaned into him and he hesitantly put a hoof on her shoulder and pulled her closer. His heart was beating faster as he remembered, with the help of another vision, that he has never had good relationships with mares. He didn't know what to do, so he very slowly looked down.

She had her eyes closed, head resting against his shoulder. From what he gathered from earlier, this was very out of character for her. He worried why she acted so differently around him. "Hey, um…Fluttershy, I have a question. You don't have to answer it if you don't want to though."

She opened her eyes and those sea blue pools started pulling him again. "What is it?"

"Um… I don't know how to ask this, but… your friends said your acting different and I was wondering if it was because of me?" He asked, not able to look her in the eye as tears welled up in his eyes.

She was silent when he felt something wet hit his shoulder. He looked down to see her crying. Way to go genius. He tried to think of something to say to stop her tears.

"I have such caring friends, but they put you through so much." She said, nuzzling her cheek against his shoulder. "No, I'm not changing because of you. I feel more comfortable around you than any other pony. I feel like I can relax and not worry about anything around you." She said with a smile on her face. He smiled to, with a tear finally falling out of his eye.

She looked in concern at him with this put her hoof around him and tried to bring him closer to her. He started to shake and she looked really worried. All he could do is look down at her with a smile. The world started to get blurry and everything seemed to fly away from him. He saw her lips moving but didn't hear any words. As he drifted off he remembered two things. One; he remembers actually kissing her on her muzzle and two; a dark crackling laughter entered his mind.

"Very interesting ha-ha-ha... Quite possibly a 7th one; surprisingly maybe."

He awoke up with a mask on his muzzle and the good old beeping of the heart monitor, expect this time, it was a beeping at a slow pace. He felt air coming from the mask and took a few breaths. He quickly recognized the hospital room, very familiar with it by now.

He then felt his hoof being held by another. He turned his head to see the beautiful eyes of Fluttershy, red and puffy from crying. She bent down and kissed him on the cheek, causing his eyebrows to shoot up and the beeping to pick up the pace. He went to take the mask off but she stopped him, simply shaking her head. He didn't know what was going on so he just put another hoof on top of hers and gave her his strongest smile he could muster. She accepted this smile with one of hers.

The door opened to reveal an actual doctor. The doctor was tan, with a brown mane and an hourglass on his side. The doctor looked worried as he looked at Flash's charts.

"I've been in numerous close calls in my line of work and was nearly eaten by a galaxy, but I've never seen someone this bad."

"What do you mean?" Fluttershy asked her voice very low and tears close to her eyes.

"Well look at him, he looks so restless." The doctor said with a smile. "Seriously, he seems fine now." He looked at Flash. "How do you feel son?" he asked as he took the air mask off of Flash.

"Sore, but I think everything is fine." Flash said, faintly smiling at Fluttershy.

"That's what I thought." The doctor said as he looked at Fluttershy. "Why don't you go get Nurse Redheart and tell her to start the paperwork?"

She looked at Flash lying on the bed and he nodded, giving her a smile. "Ok." She said as she let go and walked out of the room.

He looked at Flash seriously. "Now what in the world were you doing before you blacked out?"

"Nothing, we were just watching the sun go down and my head started getting light and the next thing I knew, I'm here."

"Cause like I said earlier, I don't have a clue of what could cause this and I know everything." He said sarcastically.

Flash leaned against the pillows. "Could it be my brain trying to find my memories?"

The Doctor thought for a moment. "It could be. Let me check with a few friends, I got a couple that works with brain aliments." He looked at the returning Fluttershy and Nurse Redheart and bent down to whisper in Flash's ear. "Just take it easy for a few days to let your marefriend calm down."

Flash's face instantly turned red. "She's not… I mean… I'm not…"

The Doctor merely smiled. "Thought so, good luck my friend; love is a tricky business." He said as he patted Flash's shoulder.

Fluttershy saw his face beet red and quickly ran over, putting her hoof on his forehead and her forehead on the other side. He saw the worry and pain in her eyes as she tried to see if their foreheads were the same temperature. He put his hoof around her neck and pulled it closer; she wasn't expecting that so her mouth opened to scream. He took a chance and leaned forward and kissed her. Shock shone on her face before quickly turning into acceptance and the kiss was returned. She broke the kiss off and looked at him with love in her eyes. He smiled back and started to get up.

After filling out the paperwork, they were once again, outside. The sun was in the middle of the sky, warming them. As they walked down the street, ponies looked at them as they were pretty much inseparable. They were both beet red as the ponies continued to stare as they made their way back to Fluttershy's cottage. The trip was uneventful and she quickly pushed him inside.

"Now I can see why you live on the outskirts." He said with a laugh. He gently sat in the corner of the couch and closed his eyes. He felt sudden pressure and he looked down to see her leaning against him, face still red as she relaxed on his chest. He smiled and put a hoof around her.

"I'm not use to acting like this; it feels like there's no weight on my shoulders." She said, her eyes opening to meet his.

He smiled and not knowing what to say, leaned down and kissed her cheek. She smiled and nuzzled his chest. He laughed and bent down to where her ear was.

"I love you." He whispered.

Her eyes widened in surprise and then had a look of realization. She turned and stared at him. "I know." She said, before a quick peck on the cheek.

He smiled. "It feels like I've known you all my life. I mean, from what I faintly remember of it. Not just the three odd days."

"I know what you mean; it feels weird acting like this with a stranger." Her face got really red. "I mean… that's not what I meant."

He laughed as he leaned down and kissed her. "Don't worry about it; I'm a stranger in my own mind but I know what you meant."

A hint of sadness appeared in her sea blue eyes. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean for that to come out that why."

He hugged her tighter. "It's ok; there's nothing either of us can do about it. I just have to wait for my mind to catch up." He grinned. "And with you here by my side, I have a feeling it's going to be a lot faster."

They sat there in each other's hooves as time continued to move forward. After a while, they both got up and he helped her with the chores around the house and taking care of the animals. Angel still didn't like him, but that was ok, he didn't really like Angel either. He heard him slapping Fluttershy and nearly tackled the white fur ball. But somehow Fluttershy just smiled and forced him to eat his food. Flash clamped his mouth shut and stiffly walked away to go feed the chickens.

The sun was completely gone by the time they were done. Flash was again staring at the rising moon, amazed at its beauty every time. Soon Fluttershy was there, leaning against his shoulder. He smiled at her.

"The moon is always so beautiful, it amazes me every time." He leaned down and kissed her. "Just like you do."

Her eyes widened at the complement and her face took on its pink color again. "You're too kind. I'm just a mare trying to help her colt friend." She said, before realizing what she said. She quickly turned a deeper shade of red in embarrassment. "What I meant was you're too kind in your compliments to me." She said her face back to hiding underneath her pink mane.

He pushed her mane out of her face and her eyes avoided his. He kissed her forehead and she stared at him, her eyes filled with sorrow. "What's wrong?" he asked, worried.

"Do you think it's alright to have moved this fast? We don't know each other all that well. Are you sure you want to be around me and not some other, better mare; like Twilight. She's funny and smart. I'm not." She said, her eyes filling with tears.

"Hey now." He said wiping a tear out of her eye before it fell. "I was around Twilight a day before I met you and we really didn't click. I don't even think she likes me that much." He said with a laugh. "But Fluttershy your kind, gentle, and caring; you understand ponies far more than you realize. From the moment I met you in that hospital room a couple days ago, I felt like I finally met somepony who understood me, for well, being me. Sure I don't have my memories and we don't even know a whole lot about each other, but frankly I don't care. I love you and for good or ill, I will always be by your side." He said, before kissing her again. "You have to admit there's something between us or you would never have opened up as much as you have with a total stranger." He said with a smile.

She was silent for a moment before she started shaking. He looked at her in concern and she was crying, full on ragged breathing crying. The tears flowed and they landed on his chest as he quickly grabbed her as he started rocking back and forth, running a hoof along her mane, trying to calm her down. "I'm sorry, I'm so sorry." He kept mumbling into her ear.

Then before he realized it, he was grabbed and pulled into the air, going higher than he liked. He looked up to see that Pegasus Dash had his hoof and she flew pretty high. They went through a cloud, causing them to get wet and she let him slip. He started to fall and remembering he also had wings, tried to figure out how to get them to work. He figured out pretty fast that he was a bad flyer as he plummeted even faster. As he saw the ground approach, he closed his eyes and thought of Fluttershy one more time.

When he realized that he wasn't a pancake on the ground, he slowly opened an eye to see himself surrounded in a purple glow. He looked over and noticed Rarity, Applejack, and Pinkie Pie all huddled around Fluttershy. Rarity had her in her hooves, mumbling something while shooting him death glares. He saw the same thing in Twilight's eyes. Her horn was glowing with the same purple aura.

Well I'm dead. He tried to break free but quickly learned that was impossible. So he decided to do the only thing he could, float there till they needed him. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath when he felt a slap across the face. He quickly opened his eyes to see Rarity in front of him, death glare and all.

"What did you do to Fluttershy?" She asked, fury clearly heard in her voice.

"Nothing, I swore to you that I wouldn't." He stammered out.

"Then why is she in hysterics?" She asked pointing to Fluttershy who was now sobbing on Rainbow Dash's shoulder.

"I…I don't know." He said, staring at the ground. Rarity grabbed his muzzle and pulled it in front of her face.

"What did you say to her before she started crying?"

"That… that I love her no matter how odd the circumstances are and I would always be there for her without hesitation." He said, staring into Rarity eyes. She just glared back.

"I think it would be best if you left." Twilight said, walking towards them.

"But darling; what about Princess Celestia asking you to help him?" Rarity asked.

"I'll tell her that I wanted to do it on my own." Flash said. The two ponies were looked at him.

"You would lie to her?" Rarity asked her voice very carefully neutral.

"If it helped the situation, I would." He nodded slowly. "I would reverse time if I could to stop from hurting Fluttershy." He said, looking away, his eyes filled with tears.

The two ponies nodded and Twilight released him as he landed with a grunt on the ground. He lay there for a moment, trying to gather himself. He staggered to his hooves, trying to avoid all the looks. He walked in front of Twilight and bowed his head slightly. "Thank you for everything you did to try and help me. I appreciate it." He looked at Fluttershy.

"Don't even think about it." Twilight said.

He nodded. "Tell her I'm sorry for everything I did and I won't forget all the time we spent together."

She nodded and he turned around, looking at the moon one last time before he lowered his head and made his solitary walk away from the group, tears falling freely from his eyes.

Fluttershy finally noticed that it wasn't Flash that was holding her, rocking her back and forth. She looked up into Rarity's eyes, full of concern and warmth. She finally had stopped shaking. She started to panic and looked everywhere for him.

"Where's Flash?" She asked the pain and fear evident in her voice.

"That no-good colt is long gone." Dash said, looking down the path that Fluttershy assumed he had taken.

"Oh no." she said as she struggled against Rarity's grip.

"What's wrong Fluttershy?" She asked letting go.

"I have to go after him." She said, already starting to flap her wings.

"Why? After what he did to you tonight; you're better off forgetting about that lameo and moving on." Dash said. She got a look from Rarity. "What? It's true, if he hadn't slipped out of my hoof, I would've pounded his face in."

Fluttershy didn't respond; instead she flapped her wings and raced off, hoping to find him to fix the situation she had gotten them in.

After several hours of searching, she started to cry, not able to find him. She had searched everywhere that she could have thought he would be, but no luck. She was hovering in the air, trying to think of what to do when she heard a slow melody being played on a guitar. She followed the guitar as it picked up the tempo, the chords ringing in the night air. She started to cry harder as she heard Flash, happy to have found him, but it wasn't his normal voice. He was singing and his voice sounded ragged, heavy. She followed his voice until she found him sitting on a secluded hill top, overlooking the beautiful ocean. One of his hooves was dangling of the side of the hill, if he leaned to far forward, he would fall into the rocky water below. She picked up speed as she grew worried that what he would do after he finished the song. As she got closer, she could finally understand what he was singing.

"'Cause I'm broken when I'm lonesome
And I don't feel right when you're gone away
You're gone away."

The words began to make her cry even harder as she flew towards him. He didn't seem to hear her land.

"'Cause I'm broken when I'm open
And I don't feel like I am strong enough
'Cause I'm broken when I'm lonesome
And I don't feel right when you're gone away
You're gone away
You don't feel me anymore"

As he finished, he leaned over the guitar and cried; the tears could be seen from where she was. The tears streaked down the oily surface of the guitar, leaving streaks on the finish. She rushed over and grabbed him in a hug. He jumped and would have fallen over the side if she hadn't pulled him away. She nuzzled his chest as he stared at her in shock.

"Fluttershy, what are you do-" he started to say before he was interrupted by a kiss. She leaned into it, giving her all, trying to make up the pain she had caused him. He momentarily didn't do anything, too shocked to figure what to do. But he closed his eyes and kissed back, letting any doubt dissipate from his mind.

She broke the kiss off first and stared into his eyes. "I'm so sorry for the pain I caused."

He faintly smiled. "So am I. I seem to cause you nothing but pain." He said as he looked away.

She pushed his muzzle back towards her. "That's not true, I have never been this happy around anypony; especially now that I found you again."

"But what about your friends, they hate me."

"No they don't, they just are worried that you hurt me."

He looked at her. She could see the pain and agony in his eyes. "But I did, they said they've never seen you like that and I caused it."

She looked back at him. "I'm sorry for that. I've never had anypony say that to me before. I didn't know what to do… and that usually means I cry. You never hurt me." She leaned against him, listening to his heartbeat. "What you said back there made me the happiest I've ever known and I wanted to say thank you for that. I feel the same way you do about me, finally able to find somepony that I don't have to worry about bothering. I never got to say this before, but I love you back." She said.

He still seemed very hesitant and worried that he was going to do something wrong. She frowned. "What's wrong?"

He started to cry, the tears slowly streaking down his muzzle. "I don't deserve the love you give me. I've done nothing to deserve it."

She didn't know what to say. I've never have anypony say that to me before. She let go of him and turned his muzzle towards hers. She was a few hairs away from him, his spiky mane touching her forehead. "No matter what anyone says or the doubts you have; know that you have made me the happiest pony in all of Equestria." She continued, her face becoming bright red and she started stammering, embarrassed. "I know the doubt that is in your mind, but you have to realize that I will always be there for you just like you will for me."

He was silent, just staring at her. Then he leaned forward for a kiss and got one in return. "I know this is sudden, but after everything we've been through and as long as you will have me, will you make me the happiest pony by being my marefriend?" He asked, his green skin flustered with red.

She smiled as tears welled up in her eyes. "Of course I will silly; I thought I said that earlier." She said, pushing herself into another kiss. This time he didn't resist, instead, pulling her into a hug without breaking the kiss. It was a bit awkward since her head was pressed against his chest at an odd angle, but she didn't mind, her heart happy that he could accept a bumbling fool like herself.

"That's so cute!" Somepony said and immediately they stopped kissing and looked up. All her friends were there, watching the scene in silence. He set her down and they stood next to each other, staring at her friends. Pinkie Pie was jumping up and down while eating popcorn. "This is almost as good as a movie!" She said with her mouth full of popcorn. Everypony started laughing, as Pinkie looked at one after the other, confused. "What?" She asked. "Was it something I said?" That made all of them laughs even harder, the tension between them gone.

Rarity and Twilight both walked towards Flash as fear shone in his eyes. He started to back up but Fluttershy put a reassuring hoof on his back.

He smiled at Fluttershy, still happy at having her around again, but very afraid of the two ponies walking towards him. His back leg started to shake in fear and he gulped. Fluttershy got closer to him and kissed him on cheek, giving him some reassurance. He thanked her by giving her one in return. He focused on Twilight and Rarity; it seemed something was different in their eyes, something almost calm about them.

As they came closer, they stared at him and awkward silence hung in the air. Suddenly they smiled and gave him a hug. He stood there, completely stiff in shock. Rarity looked at him and smiled again.

"We want to apologize for earlier. We didn't know what came over us; it was very rude of us. We were worried for Fluttershy and we jumped to conclusions. If you'll forgive us, we wanted to welcome you into the group." Rarity said with Twilight nodding her head in agreement.

He didn't know how to respond. He was still afraid of them, but they were willing to accept him as part of their group. He couldn't have been happier. He smiled and nodded his head. "Thank you Rarity, I would be honored."

Rainbow Dash flew towards them. She poked him with her hoof. "Don't think you're off the hook however, I'm still going to keep my eye on you."

He nodded at Dash, who then flew off somewhere. Everypony looked at each other and laughed. He stared at the sky wondering where the cyan colored Pegasus went when Fluttershy pulled one of his hooves around her shoulder. He smiled and nuzzled her. The group sat together and talked, trying to get to know Flash or what he could remember, as the night slowly went on. Any tension between them was gone, replaced with acceptance and happiness.

"Where did you get the guitar?" Rarity asked while Flash strummed a few chords.

"I'm not sure; I was walking and some blue pony with a horn selling it. I asked if I could try it and she said if I could play it she'd give it to me. She handed it to me and I just started playing."

"What song did you play? Could you play it again?" She asked.

Flash blushed. "I'm not really that good; I faintly remember playing only in my free time."

Rarity nudged Fluttershy, who nodded and asked. "Could you play it for me? I really like your guitar playing and singing; you're really good."

Flash smiled at her. "I…I guess. I'm not that good, though." He said with a bit of blush on his face. She gave him a quick hug as he held the guitar, strumming the chords as he tried to think of what to play. His hooves started to play even before he realized and a song popped in his head.

"It's a little bit funny this feeling inside
I'm not one of those who can easily hide
I don't have much money but boy if I did
I'd buy a big house where we both could live"

He smiled at Fluttershy as he sang, whose face was bright red. The other ponies laughed at her reaction and continued to smile.

"If I was a sculptor, but then again, no
Or a colt who makes potions in a traveling show
I know it's not much but it's the best I can do
My gift is my song and this one's for you"

He leaned over and kissed her to a chorus of aws. Neither didn't care, staring into each other's eyes.

"And you can tell everybody this is your song
It may be quite simple but now that it's done
I hope you don't mind
I hope you don't mind that I put down in words
How wonderful life is while you're in the world"

As he finished the song, he put the guitar down and held Fluttershy's hooves. Her face was completely red and her friends were smiling. She leaned up and kissed him on the muzzle as he kissed her back. She was crying a little and he wiped a tear from her eye as she fell into his arms giving him a hug. She slipped out of the hug and sat closer to him, hooves in hand.

The sun rose again and finally Twilight yawned. "It's been fun guys, but I think I'm going to go home and get some rest while I can." She said and the others agreed. After another round of hugs to Fluttershy and Flash, they bid them both farewell and left the two alone.

The two of them sat there leaning against each other, once again watching the sun rise. Fluttershy yawned and looked at him, staring into his eyes. Once more, he smiled and stared into her eyes; the beautiful blue pools drawing him in like they always did.

"You're the greatest thing to ever step hoof in my life, memories or none. I'm so happy I met you." He said, barely a whisper as she leaned against him.

She merely nodded, having shut her eyes. She yawned again and got up, stretching her legs. She stared at him. "So, I was wondering if you didn't mind, but you could sleep in my house if you want. I know you don't have anywhere else to sleep." She said she was playfully kicking the ground in nervousness.

He nodded. "I would love to, but I don't want to be a burden."

She smiled. "You're never a burden. You should get some rest after the last couple days."

He grinned. "The same could be said about you."

She smiled and led him back to her home as Ponyville still slept. They didn't need to speak, merely enjoying each other's company as she led him. Every animal was awake when they got there and when she opened the door, Angel was there, stamping on of his paws against the floor. She apologized to the rabbit and they quickly went about feeding the animals again, trying to get back to her old schedule.

After finishing that, he sat in the corner of the couch, grateful for its comfy-ness. Just then he felt weight on his chest. He looked down to see Fluttershy resting against him, grabbing a blanket to throw over both of them.

"You should go sleep in your bed. I'm fine here." He said, smiling at her.

She nodded her head no. "I want to lay here with you, if you don't mind."

"Not at all." He said putting a hoof around her as she closed her eyes.
