My Little SCP Foundation: Horror is Magic

        The sound of the cottage door opening woke me from my fifteen-minute long sleep. I rubbed my eyes with my left hand, and yawned awake. I was expecting it to be hard to sleep with a broken wrist, but turns out it's not that bad. The pain actually made me tired.

        I sat up, and looked towards the doorway, blinking sleep away. Instead of the familiar yellow pegasus, however, my eyes laid upon a white coated, red-maned pony. It didn't have any wings, so at least she was a little normal. She had a nurse's hat on, and her light blue eyes widened at the sight of me.

        To my relief, Fluttershy appeared next to the other white pony. "This is him.."

        The other pony tilted her head at the sight of me. "Hmm.. Is he some kind of hairless, tall monkey with white and orange skin?"

        She was probably referring to my orange prison slacks and white tank top. Although being called a "monkey" didn't rub me the right way, I still gazed over blankly to her.

        "I.. Actually don't know. Now, could you please check on his wrist? I think it's broken."

        The white pony nodded and trotted over to me. Her blue gaze paralyzed me as she searched my entire body with her eyes. I assumed she had never seen a human before, judging by her interest in my build. She sat down slowly beside me, her gentle gaze on me. "Now, just stay calm. I'm going to take a look at it." Her head and hooves went out of my perifable vision, starting her work.

        Agonizing pain shot through my right arm like a bullet. I recoiled and grunted, but the white pony held me down.

        "It's okay," she said unconvincingly. "Just stay calm. It'll be over soon."

        I bit my lip and slammed my eyes shut, panting. If I didn't know better, I would assume my hand was on a stove. I scrunched up my face, hoping she would finish her work on my arm soon.

        "It's broken," she said to Fluttershy. The latter nodded, as if she already knew. The nurse-pony turned her attention to my face. "I'm going to put on a cast. Don't worry; it'll be over soon." She smiled at me, then ducked her head back under.

        When her hoof lifted my mangled right hand, I scrunched my face up in pain. After she started to fold some sort of thick toilet paper around my injured hand, I slammed my eyes shut, grunting.

        It was then when I realized Fluttershy's hoof was on my left hand. Her soft fur brushed my arm while she stroked it with her hoof. I opened my eyes, and looked up. Sure enough, a foot away from my face, stood Fluttershy, caressing my hand. It felt.. good.

        Once she saw that I was acknowledging her, she blushed and looked away. "I thought it would make you feel better.." She apologized, and started to withdraw her hoof. My answer was to wrap my fingers around her hoof, not letting it travel any further away.

        "It makes me feel a lot better," I said, with a smile. I felt the temperature in my face rise.

Dude! It's a talking horse! Why would you even let her do that?

It was a friendly comfort! Nothing more. Besides, we just met! How creepy would it be if we started getting close now? I need to know her better, and vice versa.

        After a couple of minutes of my wrist burning, Fluttershy blushing, and me stuck in between bliss and pain, I felt the nurse's hooves draw back.

        "Okay," she said, and clopped over to infront of me. "Turns out your wrist's radius was fractured, and a couple of.." She pointed towards my fingers. "..Whatever those are are also broken. I'd advise not lifting anything too heavy until the cast is ready to be taken off; which will be in a couple weeks."

        Fluttershy nodded. "Thank you, Nurse Redheart," she said earnestly. Nurse Redheart smiled, then exited the house.

        I lifted up my right hand, and found it to be covered with a thick, white paper. The fingers were sticking out, but that's all that showed. As I marveled at the surprisingly well-made cast, I heard Fluttershy clear her throat.

        "Sorry," she said with a sad smile.

        I tilted my head up at her. "What for?"

        "Well, I said I'd be back with supplies myself, but.. I sorta don't know.. How to fix a broken wrist," she mumbled that last part. "But Nurse Redheart was nice, right?"

        I nodded and chuckled. "Yeah." My attention shifed to her sides again, and I realized now was my chance. "So, uh, you have wings?"

        Fluttershy nodded, confused. "Of course I do! I'm a pegasus."

        I already figured that out by myself, but I just needed to hear it from her. "Are there... Others?" That part I didn't know.

        "Of course! There are thousands of us. Along with Earth Ponies and Unicorns."

        Normally, I'd be surprised to hear the mention of unicorns. But I doubted anything could surprise me now.

Okay, time to pop the question to her.

        "Where am I, really? What continent" I asked.

        "Equestria! One of the four on this planet."

        This information did surprise me, though. A lot. "...What planet are you-- I mean, we, on?" I knew it was a very strange question to ask, but it was nessecary.

        Fluttershy had confusion in her eyes as she responded with: "Equu."

        That was not the answer I was hoping for. I quickly sat all the way up and looked at Fluttershy in the eye. "What?"

        Fluttershy lowered her head and whimpered. "...We're on the planet.. Of Equu.. Didn't you already know that..?"

        My heart rate quickened, and I started to pant. I looked around the room with a new perspective.

We're not on Earth?! That's impossible!

Well, we are surrounded by talking technicolor ponies. What did you expect? 'Oh, we're on an independent island of Hawaii. Humans just haven't discovered this place yet.'

If I'm not on Earth, how am I going to see Connor?

        My face froze. My everything froze. Connor.

My son.

        As realization settled in, tears surfaced in my eyes. Fluttershy must've saw this, because she wrapped her hooves around my neck, and embraced me. My first instinct was to push away. I've never been hugged in nine months. However, once I felt her soft fur and mane graze against my skin..

        "Don't cry, Seven.." She comforted with a sadness of her own. She nuzzled my shoulder. "Don't worry.. All will be fine. I know it's hard to comprehend, but you'll get through it."

        As I hugged back, my tears staining her yellow shoulder. My thoughts drifted off.

Maybe.. Just maybe I could get him here. He has nothing for him there; to not try was being a bad father. Didn't they say they had magic? Maybe I could teleport him here with some magical help..?

        That thought calmed me. Although deep inside I knew it was a long shot, it gave me hope. I smiled in the furry shoulder.

        "Fluttershy," I muttered, feeling tired again.

        She leaned back, and gazed into my eyes. "Yes?"

        "You really are bad at comforting."

        Then we both laughed, happy the sad moment was behind us.

I have a plan. Find some way to bring Connor here, and rest meanwhile. The ponies seemed nice and friendly. Plus I have a fresh start.

        I looked at Fluttershy, still chuckling a little to myself.

I think I'm going to like it here.
