"So you think he likes cakes?" asked the Pink pony.

Rafael couldn't believe his eyes, not only there were multicolored talking ponies standing in front of him, but the room itself looked like it was drawn by child's cartoon animator.

"Hi! Twilight, look, he's waking up. My name is Pinkie Pie and I'm a friend of everypony, hay ape, thingy can you talk?" the pink pony bounced all over the place so fast that she became a pink blur, until she stopped right in front of his face.

Rafael ignored the question. He started to freak out and not knowing what happened to his friends only made that worse. 'Where am I? And why before me stand ponies that resemble the one from my dreams? I need to get out of here!' Rafael thought.

As he tried to move he felt great pain and when he looked at himself, he felt a sense of dread not from the wounds themselves, but from his body. Like the world around him, he saw that his body was cartoonish, but a little different, unlike the world around him, he looked like he was out of an anime show.

"I wouldn't do that if I were you, you lost a lot of blood and the wounds just closed" commented Twilight.

But Rafael didn’t listen and tried to get up anyway "Got to find my friends" Rafael mumbled to himself. Already starting to think irrationally from the pain and extreme emotions, Rafael tried to get up from bed and instantly the stitched stab wounds started to open up.

Twilight noticed that and instantly fired up her horn to pined Rafael to the bed.

"Let me go!" Rafael roared in desperation "I need to get out of here and find my friends!" he pleaded while Pinkie that, witnessed, it all brought up a dark blue cupcake out of thin air and shoved the cupcake in Rafael's mouth.

"I…need…to…help" Rafael started to quiet down, and after 10 seconds flat he fall asleep.

"Pinkie, what did you do?!" Twilight asked in a shout.

"What? I just gave him my super duper yummy sleeping cupcake" Pinkie said.

"Why do you carry with you a cupcake that put ponies to sleep?" Twilight asked, but quickly regretted that when Pinkie mane went straight and her smile became creepy.

"Do you really want to know the answer?" Pinkie asked.

"N-not really" Twilight answered, and Pinkie's mane became normal again.

"Oh good, I didn't know what would happen if you kept asking. Probably the writer would turn you into a cupcake or something like that." Pinkie said.

"Wat?" Twilight asked.

--------------------------------------------A day latter------------------------------------

Rafael woke up. He tried to get up but felt that his legs and hands were tied to the bed 'What happened? One moment I'm screaming and kicking and the next I'm waking up like it never happened' Rafael tried to find order in his mind. As he looked again at his surroundings 'Seems like it's not a nightmare after all' Rafael thought to himself.

Rafael was in a hospital bed. His room consisted of a mirror on the left side of the room and on his right was a door that led to the bathroom. The walls were littered with paintings. Rafael knew from his surroundings that he was in the VIP room of a hospital.

He set back and started to relax. Until he started to hear some sort of argument beyond the door. "Twilight, Pinkie why did you wake him? That creature lost a lot of blood and the wounds just close up". Rafael heard the new voice scolding Twilight and Pinkie.

"And I keep telling you it's not an animal but a human, and he is a he" Twilight retorted back to the other pony.

Suddenly the door opened and three ponies came in. Two of them he already encountered, and now that he was more relaxed, he could see that the ponies before him were different from the ones from his dream.

Two of them looked like a normal pony only cartoonish, but one of them had wings and a horn. The white pony started to talk about something, but Rafael just didn't care. He wanted only one thing and it was to get back home and find out what happened to his friends.

"And after one week you're good to go, mister hu-man" the white pony said and left the room. After the nurse pony left, Twilight approached Rafael and tapped Rafael side to get his attention.

Rafael quickly turned his head towards Twilight and looked at her with pleading eyes "Please don’t hurt me!" Rafael shouted scared out of his mind.

"Hey, calm down, no one will hurt you, and I know how it feels to be thrown to another world that you don’t know anything about" Twilight tried to help Rafael calm down knowing that being at the state that he was would not help her understand why a human was in Equestria and still remained a human and not a pony.

"Maybe he needs another cupcake?" Pinkie said, which caused to Rafael to scream again.

"No Pinkie, no more cupcakes, I need to consult the princess about this". After Twilight said that, she looked at Rafael again and after a couple of seconds she started to notice the he looked different then the humans that she encountered.

After a couple of minutes Rafael settled down."I know we didn't give you the best first impressions, but could we start over?" Twilight asked Rafael and he stopped screaming completely.

'She's, right acting like a pussy will get me nowhere, if I want to get back home I need to befriend the ponies and see if they know what happened' Rafael thought.

"O-ok, if so can you please tell me where I am and how I got here?" Rafael asked Twilight and Pinkie with the idea that if the ponies knew how he came here they may also know how to get out.

"Well, we found you in the town plaza just laying there barely, breathing that's for your first question. For the second I don’t know you just came from thin air, but I do know what you are and where you came from…and" Twilight stopped talking for a moment thinking if she should drop the bomb shell or let him keep his hopes.

Rafael started to get agitated "well, what!?" Rafael already lost his patience. Not knowing what happen to his friends eating him inside.

"For you to get back you need to wait 30 full moons in other words 2 years and a half" Twilight said with regret.

After hearing the news Rafael broke down knowing that he would need to wait 2 and a half years to see his family, and not knowing what happened to his friends only made it worse. In the outside he looked pale like everything he ever knew just ended, he looked like he would break down and cry his eyes out at any moment Twilight and Pinkie wanted to calm him down but they both stop when they looked at his eyes.

His eyes showed sadness but the thing they showed most was anger and hatred 'Steven I will make you pay. I swear I will make you feel pain, I will make you suffer' Rafael thought to himself.
