Morning soon came as Greg woke up to the sound of birds chirping. “SHUT THE FUCK UP BIRDS!!!” screamed Greg as he jumped out of bed charging towards the birds outside. Before he could get there something shrieked like a puppy.

“YOU BIG MEANIE!!”

The next thing he knew he was flying and slammed into the side of the cottage.

The sound of a giant thud caused Brennan to stumble out of bed, immediately going into alert defensive mode. “What… What’s going on” he said as he hid under the bed.

“What the hell was that” thought Greg as he lay in the rubble.

Fluttershy stomped her way towards Greg, all innocence gone from her face.
“Don’t you EVER…. EVER…. LET ME SEE YOU DOING THAT AGAIN YOU GOT THAT!!!!!!” shouted Fluttershy at Greg.

“What’s going on out here?!” asked Brennan

Fluttershy shrieked and kicked Brennan in the stomach out of shock. Brennan crumpled to the ground in pain.

“Oh my… I’m soooo sorry, you scared me” Fluttershy said as she went to check on Brennan. She tried to turn him over to see if she had caused further damage to his midsection. Greg got up from where he lay and started to make his way over to them. The sound of gravel scared Fluttershy again and she quickly grabbed Brennan in a death hug. Brennan grasped for air and tried to speak with much difficulty.

“…… W… Whyyyyyyy” Brennan finally said as he passed out.

“BREENNAAAAAAN!!!!” shouted Greg now limping towards him. Greg made his way and picked up his friend. “We got to get him to the hospital, quickly.” said Greg. Fluttershy gave a sharp whistle and a giant bear comes out of nowhere and comes to her. Greg plopped Brennan on the bear. “Please go quickly” pleaded Greg. The bear took off with great speed.

The hospital doors exploded as the bear charged into the hospital and placed Brennan in front the stunned doctors. Fluttershy and Greg soon entered the hospital as well.

“What’s going on, what is this thing??” said one of the doctors

“THAT IS BRENNAN AND HE IS HUMAN, HELP HIM YOU BASTARDS!!!” shouted Greg

“Excuse me” said the doctor with a questionable look on his face.

“I’m sorry about my friend here but could you please help Brennan, he needs help.” pleaded Fluttershy

“Okay Nurses get a bed we need to see what the problem is with this…. human”
The nurses returned shortly and put Brennan on the bed. They carted him into a room and the doctors prepared for their examination. They stripped down his clothing to reveal his wounds and removed his bandages. He was having internal bleeding in his stomach where Fluttershy kicked him and some of his closed claw wounds opened back up.
With further examination by magic the doctors also found broken ribs as well. The doctors were fascinated at this strange creature, whose anatomy was similar to their own minus some small features.
“We need surgical equipment stat!!” ordered the chief doctor

“Wait I think he’s coming too”
………..

“Brennan, how are you feeling??”
Brennan slowly regained focus in his eyes and saw the girls around him. “wha… What happened?” Brennan asked as he looked around his surroundings.

“You got your ass beat by Fluttershy that’s what happened.” said Rainbow Dash

“Dashie there’s a mule outside the door.” said Pinkie Pie

“None taken” said the mule walking past the door
Just going with what just happened Brennan tried to sit up, noticing he was in a bed. The sharp pain in his midsection caused him to lay straight back down.

“Easy sugarcube, you’re mighty hurt” said Applejack

“Yes indeed Mr. Brennan, you’re lucky your friend and Ms. Fluttershy got you here as soon as they did otherwise I’m sure you wouldn’t be here with us right now” said a doctor who just walked in. “I’m Doctor Barnwell, and I was one of the doctors who performed on you”

“Great the second time I’ve almost died in two days, thank you though anyway Dr. Barnwell” said Brennan

“Not a problem son.” said the Doctor. “Now you won’t be able to move very much do the amount of damage done to your torso, but within a few days you should be able to walk right through those doors. So rest up and take it easy.” said the Doctor as he walked out of the room.

“Well that’s good to hear isn’t it” said Twilight.

“Yeah whatever, I think it’d be better if he had a more serious condition” said Rainbow Dash.

“Don’t be mean Dash. Ya know, I think it’d be best if y’all let him get some rest” said Apple Jack.

“Okie Dokie Lokie” said Pinky as she led the rest of the girls out of the room, leaving Brennan and Applejack alone.

“Sorry bout Dash there sugarcube, she aint meant no harm.”

“Why does she hate me so much?”

“It’s not that she hates ya, it’s just that she doesn’t know ya well enough yet. Just give her time” Applejack said reassuringly.

“*sigh*.
Hey, where’s Greg. I thought he’d be here, what with me being majorly injured and what not.”

“He was here, but then he had to go with Fluttershy to fix her wall, what with him being thrown through it and all.” she said

“So that’s what happened this morning, wait what for?”

“Trying to harm the morning birds”

“Yup sounds like Greg” Brennan said face palming. “Wait why are you still hear, I mean not that you have to leave” asked Brennan

“Well… I just wanted to um you know, if ya don’t mind me staying here with you?” Applejack said

Brennan kept a calm face but was freaking out on the inside. “Um sure I guess” he said

“It’s just amazing how you’ve survived the Timber Wolves and Fluttershy’s hidden strength. Not many pony folk around her can say that” said Applejack

“Well thank you I’m glad someone appreciates that besides mocking Me.” said Brennan

Applejack just sort of stood there blushing slightly and pulling her hat down over her face which Brennan though was cute. She then moved slowly towards the bed, causing Brennan to wonder what was going on. Applejack stood next to him with her face still covered. “Brennan?” she said

“Yes??”

Applejack suddenly crawled on top of Brennan, making him freeze in place.

“I saw how you were looking at me yesterday.” she said

“Dammit I need to get better at that” thought Brennan

“It’s okay, a lot of the guys around here do but I have to tell you something” she said as she leaned close to him to where she was inches from his face, her hands on his chest and legs near his lower half.

“Yes?!” Brennan said shakily trying to keep control of every fiber of his body.

Applejack put her mouth near his ear, close enough to where he felt her breath against his skin.
“I’m warning you partner, if you wanna take this bull by the horns, you better be ready for a ride” she said seductively. Applejack then slowly got up but kept her hands on Brennan’s midsection. “But if you ever try to pull something funny, or harm anyone like Rainbow Dash thinks you will…” Applejack only slightly pushed down on Brennan but it felt like here entire weight was on him and he flinched in pain.

“Got it??” she said

“Yes” Brennan said in fear

“Good now time for you to rest” she said as she punched him, knocking him out.

---- Back at Fluttershy’s cottage.
“I never knew how hard it was to build a wall with one arm until now.” said Greg.

“U-um, you could t-take a break now if you wanted.” said Fluttershy.

“Nah I’m good, besides, it’s my fault that your wall is broken anyway.”

“B-but I’m the one who throw you.”

“And I’m the one who yelled at your animals, so all is forgiven. I just gotta fix this wall and then I can get my arm looked at. I think it’s broken but I’m not sure, I can’t exactly feel it.”

“Oh let me look at it!” said Fluttershy as she made her way over to him.
“
No no it o-AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!”

Fluttershy examined it while Greg screamed in pain, all the while speaking to him softly trying to get him to calm down.

“Shhhh, its ok, just let me look at it a little longer.” Holding back tears Greg did as he was told. It took about five seconds to tell it was dislocated. “Ok, this is going to hurt A LOT.” said Fluttershy.

“Wait why is it gonna…”

-POP-

Greg had to swallow the scream of agony in the back of his throat as Fluttershy popped his arm back in its socket.

“There feel any better?” she asked
Admittedly his arm did feel slightly better and the fact that he could move it was always a plus. “Yeah, actually it does. Thanks, now I can finish this wall.”

“Don’t worry about it” said Fluttershy

Greg was about to ask why when she whistled and a large group of animals came and started working on the wall.

“Whoa that is awesome! Sorry for yelling at your birds earlier, I’m just not a morning person.” said Greg

“Oh it’s alright I overreacted a bit myself” said Fluttershy

“I gotta know something, how did you learn to throw someone like that and when you launched that side kick at Brennan it was perfectly executed… How’d you do it??” said Greg asking all them questions.

Fluttershy blushed and hid a little behind her hair. “W-well, I have a lot of spare time on my hands s-so I practice defensive fighting.”

“Really? We have that back in our world. I did it for a few years but I was never able to do anything as awesome as you” said Greg

Fluttershy hid even more into herself and looked at the ground. “W-w- well, I-I could teach you….. I mean if you really want to learn.”

“Sounds great, when should we start practicing?”

“How about next week?”

“Okay great, I’ll finally learn something useful now. What should I do in return for getting lessons though? I mean I can’t just take up your time and not do or give something in return.”

Fluttershy looked up just a little, still blushing. “U-umm, if it’s okay with you could tell me about your world and physical attributes. I am a bit curious about you guys.” asked Fluttershy

“Sounds like a plan” said Greg Just as he finished talking an unreasonably heavy object hit him right on his already injured head instantly knocking him out.

“Eep!” said Fluttershy as she looked up into the sky to see where the object came from and found out it was Derpy.

“Oops! Sorry Fluttershy, I was trying to deliver the kitchen stuff you ordered” said Derpy

“Oh thank you Derpy but I think you hurt my friend” said Fluttershy pointing to the unconscious Greg that lay in front of her.

“Oh I’m sorry!! I just don’t know what went wrong.”

“We should take him to the hospital right now.” said Fluttershy as she picked him up. She was surprised to find that he was lighter than he looked. When she picked him up though, she saw that a long gash streaked across his head from his blow. “Eeeep we need to hurry, he’s bleeding a lot!!” she said as she and Derpy rushed him to the hospital.

Once again the hospital doors exploded after just being rebuilt as Derpy carelessly brought Greg inside, sending him flying straight into the front desk.

“Oops sorry” she said

“Let me guess, he needs help too” said Dr. Barnwell acting as if this was the norm now.

“Yes Please, he’s bleeding really badly” said Fluttershy.

The Doctor just sighed. “Okay, Nurses, Doctors, its operation time again”

-In the operation room

“Saw”, “Saw”, “Saw”
-Cutting sounds-
“Hammer”, “Hammer”, “Hammer”
-Hammer sounds-
“Screwdriver”, “Screwdriver”, “Screwdriver”
-Sounds of screws turning-
“Glue”, “Glue”, “Glue”
-Paste sounds-
“Hey look we built a birdhouse”
“Yeeeaaaaa!!”

“What the… Get them out of here, who let the crazies out again??” said Dr. Barnwell

The nurses got the fake doctors out of the operation room and back to their rooms.

“Now let’s begin shall we doctors” said Dr. Barnwell

“Greg…. Greeeeg…….. GREG!!” shouted Brennan trying to wake up his friend as they were now hospital mates. Brennan remembered what Greg did to him and with an evil grin he went to work on how he was going to painfully wake his friend. He decided on a flower vase and picked it up. He didn’t have all his strength back but he had enough to make his way to the bedside.
As he neared the bed, he lifted up the vase, poised to strike but he tripped up on himself as his legs gave and he ended up smacking the bedside making Greg panic and jump to the ceiling and fall on the floor. The vase floated in the air the whole while and decided to land on Brennan the moment Greg hit the ground.

“Wha… What happened…Who’s there”

“Relax dude… Ahhh, it’s me” said Brennan trying to hide his pain

“What happened, why am I on the floor, and why does my head hurt so much?” asked Greg groaning in pain
“
Well I can’t answer those questions so I’ll answer those questions so I’ll answer one you didn’t ask, we’re in the hospital for getting hurt…AGAIN” said Brennan crawling back up on his bed.

“I already know that, I meant what I said” said Greg plopping back on his bed

“Like the hell I would know, you tell me… again” said Brennan

“You tried to get me back didn’t you”

“No” said Brennan trying to hide the key features on his face that normally would give him away

“I can see the pieces of vase on your hospital gown” said Greg pointing to him

“Dammit!!”

“What I wanna know is why am I in a hospital and why do I have a splitting headache.”

Brennan just stared at him, his face full of question and annoyance. “Seriously dude?? I was here first so I’m going to say it again and probably not for the last time….. YOU TELL ME DAMMIT!!”

Greg winced in pain. “Oww… my head dude, it’s killing me, no need to yell”

“Well… your gonna answer cus the doctors just threw you in here and didn’t say a thing and those crazies came by and put a poorly but somehow well constructed house on your nightstand.” said Brennan

Greg looked to his right and saw the little gift left for him. “Awesome! Fluttershy would like this for her bird friends”

Brennan trying to get back on track said “I’m just going to go ahead and say that you must have screwed up fixing her wall or did she beat you up cus that would be hilarious”

“No not that, I remember her wall being fixed, then she said she’d give me lessons and after that………. It all goes black.” said Greg

Suddenly a strange letter flies in from the window and lands on Greg.

“The fuck is this?!” asked Greg

“I don’t know genius read it and find out” said Brennan

“Fine I will… It says Hey guys its spike writing to you two. Just thought I’d give you a heads up and tell you that the girls and the Princess are coming to see you guys soon. Spike out” read Greg

“Who the hell is Spike?!” asked Brennan

“Well I don’t know about you but I am-”

He never got to finish as a pink blur burst through their room door and landed on top of Greg, immediately rushing him in a bear hug.

“OhmygoshareyouokayFluttershytoldmewhathappendandIcameassoonas”

He never heard a word as he was out cold the moment she jumped on him due his head slamming against the wall behind him.

“Pinkie!!”

Suddenly Pinkie was thrown off of Greg.

“Down!!” ordered Twilight and pinkie obeyed. “Sorry about that she gets…”

“Yeah I know well he’s out for awhile sooo…”

“How are you guys doing?” said Twilight

“Well since Greg is out cold and I’m sitting here with some internal injuries. Still not as bad as that one time though...” said Brennan before he was interrupted

“That won’t be a problem” said a tall white pony with a weirdly colored mane as she walked into the room. She had a horn but she also had wings.

“She must the princess or one of the alicorns” thought Brennan

She walked over to Greg and her horn lit up. In a few seconds she stepped back and Greg awoke with a yawn.

“Man my head wants to explode right now” were his first words. He then looked up and saw the tall white mare looking at him. “Oh, hello, how are you, would you mind telling me why my head is trying to kill itself?” said Greg

“I’m afraid I can’t answer that for you but I know who can but for now, I’m here to transport you both to my royal medical wing at Canterlot Castle” said the Alicorn

“And who might you be?” asked Brennan

“Why I’m Princess Celestia, ruler of Equestria.”

-To Canterlot Castle-

As they were wheeled into the medical wing Brennan noticed a small trickle of blood coming from Greg’s head. “Dude… your head”

“I feel funny” said Greg getting dizzy

“Princess!!” shouted Twilight

Celestia moved over to Greg and again her horn glowed and in a flash Greg’s head was healed but upon said healing Greg once again went unconscious.

“What happened??” asked Brennan frantically

“Don’t worry he’s fine but he’s unconscious. I’ll let my doctors take it from here. Twilight, you and your friends are welcomed to stay if you’d like” said Princess Celestia

“Thank you Princess, we’ll most likely be staying” said Twilight.

As they entered Greg was wheeled into the critical section of the infirmary.

“Is he going to be okay?” asked Fluttershy looking in down in false guilt

“He should be deary, why he is in the best place to get the medical help he needs darling” said Rarity trying to comfort her yellow friend

“Well I’m going to go follow him” said Pinkie

“I’ll go with her to keep her from doing any more harm” said Twilight following behind the happy pink pony

“Me and Derpy should go too since he was with us when he got hurt” said Fluttershy and of they went as well.

“Well, I guess that leaves us three sugarcube” said Applejack

“Fine by me” said Brennan shrugging. “Just make sure she doesn’t try to hurt me further.” He said pointing to Rainbow Dash

“If I wanted to hurt you, you’d be in a coma right now dickhead.” said Rainbow Dash giving him his daily dose of a Death Stare

“Oh so you guys can talk dirty, me likey but don’t get your hopes up sweetie. For you, it’ll take a lot more than that” said Brennan giving her dose of a stuck out tongue

“Darling, don’t expect us to protect you if you keep egging her on like this. It won’t end well for anypony” said Rarity

“It’s not my fault she hates me for reasons that I didn’t or couldn’t do nothing about but thank you Rarity I appreciate your concern” said Brennan

“You’re very welcome, just be patient with Rainbow Dash though deary It takes her awhile to open up to another pony or human should I say in this case”

“We’ll see Ms.Rarity. By the way which part of the wing am I off to now nurse??” asked Brennan

“The minor wing, we just need to make sure your all set to go to the doctor to get healed” replied the nurse

“Really… Minor?? I have internal bleeding in my stomach, a few cracked ribs and my arm and leg are still broken. I don’t think that’s minor”

“The internal bleeding has stopped and been fixed and you have minor breaks. We just need to check your vitals and what not then the doctor will heal your broken limbs but you still need to rest.”

“Wow you ponies work quick but rest… please that’s what everyone tells me but when I do, I wake up and get hurt” replied Brennan in a gruntled voice

“Maybe because you and yer friend keep getting inta trouble” said Applejack

“Well if that’s the case I’m gonna do just that but then again… I’ve done enough of that so I’ll do it later. Don’t want Dashie here trying to get all over me again”

At that remark his wheelchair tipped to the right and fell over.

“Buck you, you stupid prick”

-Back to Greg-

“Is he going to be okay doc?” asked Derpy feeling bad about doing this to him

“He’ll be fine with that head wound fixed up. His other wounds that you all spoke of to the princess will of course keep him here even with our advances for a few days like his friend. The princess hopes she can get to know them better and understand their situation.” said the Doctor

“Oh thank goodness” said Twilight even though she just meet them she would like to see them without any injuries. Fluttershy on the other hand was feeling very bad, thinking she was the cause of this.

“I’ll talk to them both after they’ve gotten better, if they want to that is” she thought

“Well dats good, well I have to get back to my job. Bye gals” said Derpy as she flew out the window bumping into the wall beforehand.

“Oh Derpy what a silly filly” said Pinkie Pie. “I wonder, should we throw a party after they wake up or should we do it later?”

“Pinkie, I’m sure they’d love to have a party but let’s put it off until we learn more about them” said Twilight

“Awwww but Twily” said the pink mare, sadden at the delay of a wonderful party she had in store.

“No but, they need to decide when they want one anyway.” After she said that Greg suddenly sat up and yawned startling everyone there.

“YAWN” “Man that was a great nap.” He looked around noticing everyone staring at him. “Uhh, why are you looking at me like that??”

“Oh wow that hit must have really hurt you. You’re in the medical wing of the castle for your wounds. You almost started to bleed very badly but I warned the princess just in time” said Twilight

“Really well I have to say my thanks to you but I still have no idea how I ended up in this position” said Greg

“I…I think I c...can tell you what hap…happened” said Fluttershy

Greg and the girls turned towards Fluttershy making her blush and hide behind her hair. Fluttershy explained the whole story of how Derpy dropped her delivery on Greg and how they rushed him to the hospital and how he flew into the front desk. Beyond that she didn’t know much else.

“Huh, today seems to be might productive” said Greg

The girls just gave Greg a confused look except for Pinkie who just smiled and laughed. Fluttershy looked like she wanted to say something but she just went and sat in one of the chairs, hiding under her hair again.

“Well I don’t know about you guys but I’m in immense pain right now. I should probably get that fixed” said Greg

“You won’t be seen by the doctor for another few hours but they pain killers should be setting in soon” assured Twilight

“I hope so, the only other time I was in this much pain was in a full body cast but that’s not important. What is important is that I could really go for some food right about now. What do you guys have to eat” said Greg

“Oh well um, I’m not sure what your kind eat but we have salads and hay and flower sandwiches. We also have candy and sweets but that about covers things except for milk and juices and sodas and obviously water” said Twilight

“Is there a limit on the amount of soda I’m allowed to drink” asked Greg

“Well considering your injuries, yes and since you probably don’t have our currency, money will be an issue as well” said Twilight

“Hmmmm, well it looks like I’m just gonna have to go hungry until I earn some cash”

*grumble*

“Gonna be a lot harder than I thought” said Greg

“Well we can get you food silly, you’re a patient duh” said Pinkie “Just when you get out into town is the problem. Hey maybe you can come work with me, Mr. and Mrs. Cake are always looking for help. Iwouldhavesaidtwilightslibrarybutspikecangetsuperjealousmaybefluttershybutshedoesnttreallygetpaidbutitsnotlikesheneedsitand…mmmdhdhdsujfdeswuj” Twilight hoofed pinkie’s mouth.

“Anyways, yes its true you can get food here but in town you’re going to need to find a job and that might be a bit harder than you think since you’re not from here” said Twilight

“Hmmm good point”

*grumble, rumble*

“I need to focus on a meal right now, I’m pretty hungry and my stomach can only go on for so long without food.” Said Greg clutching his stomach
