The constant ringing in his head as the headache got worst. He felt himself slip away from consciousness and pass out. The last thing he heard was, "Jake!!!". He couldn't make out the voice since everyone sounded the same in a drowned out sort of way. And with that, he relaxed and blacked out.

He awoke the next day in a forest of some kind, he sat up feeling the pain and groggy sense of waking up. He looked around at all of the trees and sighed, no headquarters, did they think he was dead? He walked down a path of the forest that lead to a clearing and a few rustling of bushes behind him. He felt some sort of weight on his back and put his hand on the object, his M16 was still there, nice.

The rustling grew louder and louder and he finally had enough, he looked back and what he saw gave him a confused look. Wooden creatures in the form of a wolf were behind him. They growled at him but he remained calm as he thought about what he learned in health class as a kid, don't run away from a wild wolf. He thought it was oddly specific at the time and quietly and carefully, pulled out his three round burst M16 and aimed at one of the three. He pulled the trigger and it fell, he did the same with the others and turned to continue to a town in the distance.

As he walked out of the forest with his gun on his back once again, but what he heard startled him.

"What the hay are you?" Said someone in a southern accent.

He turned to greet the person, but no one was there. "Down here" said the voice. He looked down and he didn't know how to react as he saw a small horse that he thought was kinda cute, it had a mane as red as an apple and tanish fur and a satch on its back.

"Um, hello" I said in my normal accent. "What the fuck are you supposed to be?"

The small filly gasped at my words. "What?" Was all I could say.

"Language!" Demanded the small filly.

This reminded me of a time my daughter walked in on me and my friends at a party, we were watching baseball and we were yelling slang at each other in a playful way.

"What kind of animal are you?" She asked.

"May I ask the same question?" I said with a smug look on my face. The filly said in reply, something I think was her name "Apple Bloom, you?" She said in a firm, angry way.

"I'm Second Class Captain Jacob McCain of the USA military." Again, with a smug look.

Apple Bloom looked at me with a confused face "That's a long name..." I replied trying to comprehend how stupid I thought she really was "Just me Jake." What I didn't realize was that an older looking one had come over the hill and saw me holding a handgun and next to Apple Bloom.

"Apple Bloom, back away from that thang." She said and the filly listened to her. "I'm guessing you're this fillies mother?"

"Close to it, mah name's Applejack and you need to stay away from my sister."

I decided to have some fun, I grabbed the filly and held her with one arm, I held my handgun to her head. "Nah, I think I'll deal with her personally." I said with a smile.

"Applejack! Did you find them?" Said a voice that sounded genuine. Next thing I see is 5 others, different colours, and stood next to the already angry Applejack, only to see me with her sister at gun point.

-fuck me- I thought for some reason scared. I shook fear out of my head and put my gun away. I held the scared filly with both hands and said in a disappointed look "Sorry." I put her down and she ran over to her sister and hugged her. I noticed something strange about them and seemed like there was one missing. I counted and saw that the cyan looking one was gone. I heard a noise as if something was falling from the sky. I look up and then I felt something hit me and I fell back in a daze, I eventually passed out.

I woke up in what seemed like a library. I grunted when my head pound and tried to lift my hand to my head to ease the pain a little, but found I was constricted in a purple ring.

"Magic restraints." Someone said in a firm tone. I looked up and saw a lavender looking pony with a horn on its head.

I took the calm approach and asked calmly, "May I ask for a name?" She hesitated, but then smiled and said "Twilight Sparkle, yours?" Something told me she was a writer, I looked over and saw a quill and paper on a table reading 'Dear Princess Celestia'. I looked up and said, "I'm second cla- I mean Jake" I said knowing they wouldn't understand my name.

"Would you mind letting me go?" She shook her head and went back to her expressionless face, "I would if you hadn't tried to kill my friends sister!" She said slamming her hoof on the floor.

There was a knock at the door and a bigger, more majestic looking pony with a horn and wings was allowed in the building. "Twilight, you said you needed my assistance?"

She nodded her head and lead her to me. I saw she had what looked like two guards with her and a male pony with a horn and blue mane next to them.

"This is what you needed me for?" She asked elegantly. "Yes, I found it trying to kill my friends sister outside Everfree forest, do you know what it could be?" She looked at me and smiled. "Yes, this is a human." She said.

I tried being nice again, "Hello, my name is-" I was cut off when she answered for me. "Second Class Captain Jacob McCain of the USA military?" I looked at her shocked and muttered "Yes."

"I'm going to ask you to come with me." The majestic pony lowered its glowing horn and touched my head I fell asleep, and I thought -not again-.
