This strange world

"Ugh..."

Rainbow Dash woke but did not open her eyes because she felt a cloth of some kind wrapped around the top of her head.

"Twilight... what spell was that!?" Rainbow Dash began complaining as the aching pain came to her as she regained her senses

"Twilight? Hello!?"

*Silence*

"Great... I guess I'm alone. Where am I?"

Rainbow Dash sat up on the bed she resides in as she began to unravel the bandages on her head.

"Whatever happened, I doubt I need these anymore..."

After unwrapping the bandages off her eyes and ears, she could hear more clearly and could make out snoring coming from outside the room she was in, she began to slowly crack hers eyes open only to finally realize it's still dark outside based on the amount of light coming through the window. As she continued looking around the room, she began to panic as she noticed how different the design is to every house she has seen in Ponyville, the roof was taller, along with the only window in her room, as well as the door, it was taller and skinnier, obviously for a tall thin being.

"Where am I!? Where's here anyway!?" Rainbow Dash began shooting questions out as she attempted to unfurl her wings, only to notice that one of them is wrapped in bandages, she felt a slight ache and pain come from the joint as well as the feeling of pains from a burn.

"What happened? Twilight said she was only practicing a basic warp spell..."

*Mumble*

Rainbow Dash was cut out of her thoughts as she heard a slight mumbling as well as some snoring coming from the other side of the door, being cautious she rose and silently trotted over to the door, opening it a crack to peak into the hall. The snoring got louder, even if it was just slightly. She pushed the door open and crept into the hallway, slowly but surely making her way down the hall, she peeked around a corner and looked into what looked like the living room.

She spotted a figure laying on the couch asleep, it's head was resting on the arm rest and it's body was laying along the length of the couch, his feet, still covered in boots, were propped up on the other arm rest and both hands were laying on his stomach, fingers wrapped around each other. Curiosity got the best of her as she slowly crept her way towards the being in a stance like a cat stalking it's prey.

"Mom... no... dun leave..." Rainbow Dash froze like a statue in her tracks as she heard the creature mumble in it's sleep, based off it's figure on how deep the voice is, she assumed it to be a young male.

David's dream

"Mom! No, not like this!" David yelled as he held his dying mother in his arms

"David... it's alright... be... h-h-appy... don't give up... never... alone...." David's mom said with a weak smile, slowly her eyes closed on her last few words, she slowly breathed out... then her chest stopped rising...

"Mom..." David closed his eyes as he held his mother's body as close to his as he could, as several tears made their way down his cheeks, dripping off onto the concrete.

Rainbow Dash continued to watch the being sleep as she noticed a single tear slowly stream down the creatures cheek, dripping off onto the couch.

"What is it dreaming abo-" Dash was cut off as she noticed the creature's eyes slowly open. She made her way behind a blue bean bag opposite of the couch and prone behind it.

"Damn... that nightmare again." David said in a groggy voice as he woke in a cold sweat.

"Anyway I need to get my mind off of that... I wonder how she's doing?" Doing asked to no one in particular.

David rose from the couch and walked into the kitchen while taking a look at his watch

"Uh... okay it's six a.m. I guess I'll get breakfast started... I wonder if she likes pancakes?"

Rainbow Dash took the chance of him being in the kitchen to get back to the room she was in, after watching him she assumed he was most likely friendly seeing as he fixed her wounds and was making her breakfast... also he didn't look violent but she deemed it necessary to remain cautious since she has never seen his race before.

After successfully sneaking her way back to the room she was in, she took a moment to look at the design of the house. The walls were painted a very light blue, and the doors were painted a silk black. She figured this to be the master bedroom, and the only bedroom in the house, the only other rooms she saw was a bathroom, closet, all connected by a hall way that led to the living room which was split in the middle to lead into the kitchen which had a small bar next to the entrance, she assumed the entrance to the house was in between the kitchen and living room.

After waiting about thirty minutes while sitting on the bed and examining her injuries, she heard the door to the room open slightly. She looked up to spot the creature slowly making his way into the room, he had his head hung low while carrying a small tray with a plate of pancakes on it as well as a cup of some kind of juice. She felt a small lump form in her throat as she watched the being slowly entering the room, she still had fear for it since it was completely unknown to her what it's intentions were. After getting through the door, he slowly lifted his head back up with a warm smile on his face, as soon as he spotted her looking at him, his face went blank and he froze like a statue.

They simply sat there for what felt like years simply staring at each other, both thinking about what to do.

To break the awkward fog that hung in the air, David spoke up.

"Um... hey... uh... I made some breakfast, and don't worry, I do not want to hurt you... heh...

David put on the best smile he could at this point, only managing to bring out a very awkward crooked smile

She still didn't answer him, only managing to stare at him. David took this chance and quickly set the tray on the nightstand next to the bed and backed off quickly. When he looked at her, it looked like she had just seen a ghost.

'You're fucking stupid David! Why did you rush like that? Of course she is going to be scared of you!' David began cursing himself as he saw the look on her face, so he decided to leave the room quickly to let her calm down.

"Wait..." David heard her call out as he turned around to leave, he stopped dead in his tracks and turned back around.

"Where am I? Also, what happened?" She began questioning him but still looked terrified.

"W-well... I was stargazing two days ago, when... when I heard a loud explosion above me in the night sky... it was lightly snowing so it wasn't that easy to see but I spotted what looked like a p-portal open when you came shooting through it with a small rainbow colored smoke trail following... I was able to find where you crashed.

I cleaned your wounds, you had a few minor burns and your wing was dislocated, you also had a few cuts and a large gash across your stomach. I was able to clean and fix everything, I'm no doctor but you should make a full recovery though you will have a few scars but they should remain hidden well under your fur..." David concluded his story while avoiding eye contact, mostly looking at the floor and holding his hands behind his back to appear less threatening.

"Oh... also you're on earth..."

David looked back at her to see her staring at the floor, a looked of disbelief on her face.

"Well, I'll let you eat... the name's David by the way." David spoke hoping to snap her back to reality.

"Rainbow Dash..." She spoke without looking back up

David nodded his head and walked out the door, closing it gently behind him.

David's room

"Earth... where did Twilight send me!?" Rainbow Dash began to feel a pit form in her stomach as she began to worry

Rainbow Dash then realized how hungry she was while rapidly thinking about what to do...

"Okay... just calm down, you're Rainbow Dash for crying out loud! Just eat, then you can figure out how to get back to Equestria..."
