//------------------------------// // Entry No. 1 // Story: GREAT BRAND!!! // by InfamousMystery //------------------------------// I woke up in some sort of a hospital with no memory why I am here. I noticed that I'm badly wounded, but I have no idea why. It's like being born as an old pony. Looking around the room, it basically looks like a hospital. There are tools nearby, there are also curtains with the shade of blue, and lastly, there's a powerful harmless light in front of me. To be honest, it looks like someone is performing a surgery to my body. I blinked and felt paralyzed. I have no idea what happened to me, or who I am in the first place. As I was about to struggle, panicking for something, some white mare with a peachy mane entered the room.  The mare noticed my movements. She had no idea what to do. "Calm Down." she whispered to me How can I calm down when I'm confused whether this is a kidnap or not? But either way, I calmed down due to the sweet voice of the mare. The mare stared at me nervously, I guess she's a newbie and all. With a few blinks, I tried to talk, but I can't. The mare nods and told me that I need to rest for a day or 2. And that's basically my life during those 2 days... Boring and scary at the same time. Who knows if some of my innards are removed for money? After those 2 days, I was able to move again, which feels awfully familiar. The mare entered my room, but this time, she's okay. " Good Afternoon, Arnold. " she said in her sweet charming voice. That simply means that my first or last name is Arnold, although I have no idea why someone had the last name of Arnold. That's really weird in my own thoughts. " I'm... feeling well... I guess. " I replied with a weak voice. Luckily, she can understand. " Who... am I? " I continued with a much weaker voice. The mare gave me a smile. " The one who brought you here said that your name is Arnold Brands. But your personal data is undetermined. " the mare said with hesitation, then she continued. " The hospital never accepted strange ponies with no source of a record before, but since the one who saved you is a doctor of this hospital, you are here... Our first stranger. " I nodded and looked at the ceiling. I was in a different room, with no lights, no tools, but there's a window and a small table nearby. I definitely know that I'm not much of a talker, and I have a good imagination, but still, I have no idea on who I am on the inside. And why am I badly wounded. The mare offered me an apple and told me to eat up. I haven't eaten anything since that time I woke up. So I ate the apple. " Who are you? " I said to deplete the awkwardness we're having. " My name's Sweet Velvet. " The mare said as she brushed her own peachy mane. I remembered that I used to brush my own mane in my introduction to the mares. I have no idea why, though, but I guess that stands for mannerisms or something like that. I tried to smile, but my body's still weak. She giggled and told me that I need rest. I nod and wondered what else could I possibly be. Sometimes, I thought of myself as a pirate, but I do not look rusty. Then, I thought I'm some butler, but then again, I don't have the classy looks. I asked the mare who saved me because it would be important to know who if I want my memories to be back. She told me that the doctor's name is Dr. Hoovilton. I have no idea on who he was, but I guess he's one of those highly praised doctors.  I still have no idea where I am, too... I looked around to see some clues, but there are absolutely no clues on where I am, or where I used to be. I asked the mare with a pleasing sound. "Ponyville". she replied Ponyville... I remembered that. I was ordered to... huh... I don't know... I was on a mission to do something... I just... forgot... The mare left me and told me to have a good rest because I'll be meeting Dr. Hoovilton tomorrow... It's not that I'm excited, but I badly need my memories, so I slept, forgetting everything that'll distract me from my sleep... Tomorrow better worth it... It should be, I thought. Then I heard a bang. I have no idea whether it is just my imagination or something else. I got out of bed like an old mare. My back is aching me. I have no idea what I'm doing... I wasn't in my control. I have no idea what I am doing until I woke up. It was all a dream. I looked around. It was night time. I was confused by the dream I encountered earlier, and it also makes no sense. Sweet Velvet came to my room, checking me out and noticing that I was heavily breathing. " Are you okay there, Arnold? " she said. I nodded, but the only bad thing is that I feel rested... I can't go back to sleep without doing something active. Velvet came closer to me and sat in the edge of the bed. " Nightmares, huh? " she assumed I shook my head, not knowing if it's a nightmare, or a dream, or just my imagination. " Did you hear a bang? " I asked her. She blinked and looked around, then shook her head. It was something else... I thought. Sweet Velvet yawns. She seemed sleepy. She is a nurse after all. " You better go sleep... " I said. She shook her head, disagreeing my suggestion. " I must stay up as long as I can... For better pay. " she replied to me in a tired yet graceful voice. I nodded and tapped my hooves. " I think I'm going back to sleep now. " I spoke in order to prevent awkwardness. " Sweet Dreams. " she replied as sweet as she can do. If I could think of a fruit, she'll be a peach. She, then, left me all alone after all of these things... There's something familiar in her "Sweet Dreams"... But eh, as long as I can sleep straight until the early morning of tomorrow, I'll be remembering everything.
