Who are you?

'Oww... My everything!' I was in seriouse pain. My head throbbing, my limbs crippled, my heart poinding, and my mind FUCKED! I slowly opened my eyes to see where I was this time.

I wasn't in my room nor the spooky forest. I appeared to be inside some other house. I was inside a wooden room that had a small table, two rugs, a stone furnace, a stair case, and a few bird cages. Even though the room had lots of things, it seemed pretty neat and tidy.

I was lying on a small, green couch. It was way too small for me. Heck, my legs were hanging off.

'How is this suppose to be comfortable? Is this even created for people? Who bandaged me up? How did I even get here? Was I kidnaped? What was that bright light back at the forest? Am I still Dreaming? GOD! So many questions' I thought. I could see the front door on the other side of the room.

'Welp, that's my ticket out of here' I slowly stood up, but then imeediately fell to the wooden floor with a thud.

"Oww!" I yelped. I completly forgot about my broken foot. I looked at my bandaged foot.

I didn't want a broken foot to stop me from getting out of here, so I began to crawl my way to the door, as it was the painless way to get there.

A few seconds later, I could hear foot steps coming from upstairs. I had to move quickly. As I got to the door, I reached for the door handle. Now I could hear the footsteps coming down the stairs.

"Shit!" I quietly cursed to myself. I grabbed the handle, threw the door open, and began to crawl outside.

"AAAHH! IT'S AWAKE!" A feminine voice screamed. I quickly turned my head, and saw two colorful ponies. One had wings, a light yellow coat and a light pink mane. And the other had a facial horn, a lavendar coat and a dark purple mane with a hot pink highlight. The yellow pony was pretty much hiding behind the lavendar pony, shaking.

"Fluttershy, calm down! You might frighten it" Said the lavendar pony. She was right. I have never encountered talking, colorful ponies with wings and horns before. So I was a bit scared... Ok, I was terrified. I was a pretty easy guy to scare.

'Am I on drugs?' I thought to myself. I slowly crawled backwards, not taking my eyes off the two ponies. The lavendar pony gasped, and a purple aura enveloped the door handle and closed the door. The lavendar pony stepped forward.

"H-hello?" She asked. I stared for a while, and slowly waved.

"H-hi" I finally said, waving my hand to them. The yellow pony, named 'Fluttershy', jumped.

"I-I-IT T-TALKS TOO?!" She screamed.

"Shhh..." The lavendar pony shushed Fluttershy.

"I'm sorry about Fluttershy, she can easily be scared. Anyways, my name is Twilight Sparkle. What's yours?" The pony, named 'Twilight Sparkle', asked.

"I'm Benjamin. But, everyone calls me Ben"

"Everyone?" Twilight asked quizzically. I nodded. Twilight stared at me with confusion.

"Anyways, Ben. I have a few questions that I am willing to ask you" She said as I slowly calmed down. Fluttershy though, was still hiding behind Twilight. I wasn't that scary, was I?

"Ok, shoot" I said.

"Ok, firstly. What are you?" She asked quizzically, tilting her head slightly.

"Well. I am human" I simply said. A second later, a large book floated infront of Twilight. The book opened and began flicking pages. A few seconds later, the page flicking stopped, a bookmark floated onto the book, and the book closed.

"I should read about humans later to learn more about your kind. Anyways, next que-what's wrong?" Twilight asked. I was pretty much staring at her with wide eyes, and my jaw to the floor.

"How do you do that?"

"Haven't you heard of magic? Anyways, next question. Why were you in the Everfree Forest?" Magic. I always thought here was no such thing as magic, that it was all trickery. But what the heck, there is no such thing as talking ponies either.

"Well, to tell you the truth. I don't know. First thing, I was in my room, on my bed, minding my own business. Then I arrived in that spooky forest. Then a wooden wolf came from the bushes and started to chase me. I used some stones to take it down, but it self-repaired. It called for reinforcements. Two others came and they were all chasing me. I tripped and broke my foot, making me dead meat. Then I saw a purple bolt. It destroyed the monsters, but then the wood knocked me out. And now, I am here"

"If it weren't for Fluttershy and me, you would be Timber Wolf dinner"

'Wow, the monsters were really called Timber Wolfs. Lucky guess' I thought.

"Why were you out in the forest?" I asked Twilight.

"Well, Fluttershy's pet bunny, Angel, wondered off in the woods. Fluttershy and I were searching for him. Later on, we heard screaming coming from deep in the forest. Fluttershy and I came to check it out, and that's when we saw you on the ground, about to get killed by a Timber Wolf pack" While Twilight was rambling on, Fluttershy slowly walked next to Twilight, shaking in fear and hiding her face behind her mane.

"I didn't want to stand and watch the Timber Wolfs gnaw on you. So I quickly shot a bolt that could penetrate through wood with my magic. Once the Timber Wolfs were down, Fluttershy and I dragged you here, Fluttershys home" Twilight finally finished.

"I-I also bandaged y-y-your broken foot. I-It should be better i-in about. Five w-weeks" Fluttershy stuttered, whispering on the last part. I knew that five weeks was a long time, and I didn't like that.

"How can I, you know, walk around with this busted foot?" I asked. Fluttershy then walked to a stick, picked it up with her mouth, and passed it to me.

"Y-you can use this to s-support yourself" She said quietly. I attempted to stand up, using the walking stick to help push me up on my feet. I then realised that I was much taller compared to Twilight and Fluttershy. They only reached up to my hips.

"Thank you, for saving my life, and healing me" I said to them both. Twilight smiled. Fluttershy smiled slightly.

"Anyways, even though you have a walking stick, you shouldn't give your foot too much pressure. So you shouldn't walk around much" Twilight included.

I didn't like the idea, sitting around doing nothing like a couch potatoe, but I knew that this was my one and only choice. I slowly walked to the small couch, and sat on it.

"You two should talk, get to know each other a bit more. I'm gonna go get the others to come here and meet you, so I'll might be about half an hour" Twilight concluded. Her horn began to glow.

"Wait, before you go. I've got a question" Twilights horn stops glowing and she turns to me.

"What is it?"

"Where exactly on Earth am I?" I asked

"Earth? What's an Earth?" She asked. I paused for a few seconds.

"Earth is our home planet. The planet we live on. The planet we are on now. Right?" Twilight gave me a confused look.

"Oh, you mean Equestria?"

"Umm... No" I simply said. Twilight stared for a moment.

"Well, I have never heard of this so called planet, 'Earth'. Maybe that's another thing I can learn about in the book" Just when she said that, my mind was starting to get fucked.

'Impossible! I can't be on a different world! Maybe I am still dreaming' I thought.

Twilight's horn glowed and she vanished with a poof. I turned to look at Fluttershy. She had a confused, scared-ish look.

"Alright Fluttershy, first question. Am I dreaming?"
