"Do you really have to do this....?"

"Yes, I have to make sure everything's where it should be, just try to bare with me, I'll be done soon."

"Fine, but please hurry!"

Ryan currently had her face smushed into a pillow, tail down as the mare doctor called Medic Love examined her flower. She had came in a few minutes after the Princess left. She is a slightly taller than average unicorn, with a black mane/tail and light pink fur, wearing a fully closed doctors coat. She was specifically sent in in the hope Ryan would feel more comfortable around her. She had been very kind, taking Ryan's request to save her most delicate part for last. At first she carefully checked over her body, combing through her fur and hair. She then took a slightly modified otoscope and looked in her ears. Finding nothing wrong there she exchanged the otoscope for a flat stick, a small flashlight, and asked Ryan to open her mouth. Lastly after being satisfied with what she saw she her to stand up as straight as she could and try not move. After Ryan was up Medi, as she preferred to be called, cast a spell that enclosed Ryan in a dark green glow. Ryan felt a tingling through her body, and then she was see through except for her bones.

"WHOA."

"Is something wrong?"

"No, just surprised. It's really cool."

"I have to agree, it's quite popular during nightmare night."

"Oh, that's the holiday where ponies dress up and go collect candy, right?"

"Yes it is! Your a the fast learner to be sure."

Is was hidden in the spell but a blush did come to Ryan's face.

"Thanks."

After that Medi had Ryan get back on the bed and asked her to lay on her back. This is where they are now, Medi with a small magnifying glass and a to be unnamed metal tool checking Ryan's new sensitive folds, Ryan herself holding a pillow over her face.

"I guess I really have no reason not to ask now..." Ryan said moving the pillow to her chest to reveal an almost black shade of red across her whole face.

Medi peeked up from her examination.

"What's that dear?"

"Welllll, I was wondering...Um..."

"Come on, you can tell me, everything stays between us. Doctors confidentiality."

"....It feels really sensitive."

" It? Do you mean your vagi-"

"NO, I mean yes, ah...I mean to say that all of my new..."personals" feel sensitive. REALLY sensitive."

Medi giggled at her shyness.

"You are absolutely adorable flustered dear, but you know you'll have to get used to those terms."

"Yeah, I know. I just need to get used to it on my own time."

"Alright, if you say so. Now you mentioned being sensitive?"

"Ye-yeah...It feels like I'm constantly in the mood. Every little brush sends a tingle through me! I can ignore it for now, but it just won't stop."

"Some mares would call you lucky."

In response she received a deadpan stare.

"Only a joke, but really you're fine."

"I am?"

"Yes, this parts are fresh and brand new. It only makes sense that they would be more sensitive. You just need to get used to them. It's when your first heat comes around that it will really be sensitive."

"Heat?! You mean like when animals get really horny and start screwing anything that will let them?!"

"More or less, I must say many mares act like animals during their heat."

"OH GOD, I'm gonna be humping some guys leg, or get in some strangers bed, or-EEEEEAAHHH!!"

She was ripped from her rant as a hoof touched one of her teats, a mix of extreme surprise and slight pleasure coming over her. Faster than she thought possible of herself, Ryan got into a sitting position and was backed up against the head of the bed, tail unconsciously wrapped around her. Medi was left with with her hoof in the air, mouth slightly ajar.

"Oh my, are you alright?"

"WARN ME NEXT TIME!"

As what had become a common occurrence recently the deep blush spread out on her cheeks spread just a bit further. Medi put her hoof down and moved her chair to sit next to Ryan.

"I'm sorry dear, but you knew I needed to check them, plus I knew that a little surprise would get you to stop worrying for a moment. Heat is a perfectly normal time of year that every mare goes through. There is plenty of ways to prepare yourself for it and it is something that over time you'll may even learn to use to your advantage. I know a few lucky stallions whose special someponies know just how to handle it to give them a magnificent week."

Ryan felt as though white hot irons were being pushed into her cheeks and her face looked the part as well.

"I don't want to use it! I just want to know how to survive it!"

"I could recommend you to a good book in the royal library, I've personally found it very helpful when I was first going through my own heat. As for a more personal tip I would say get a coltfriend. There ARE some companies that specialize in this particular area, but a coltfriend just feels so much better, especially when you can wake up in their hoofs in the morning."

Medi seemed to get a far off look for a moment but caught herself quickly and gave her head a little shake.

"Sorry about that dear, just some good memories. I still recommend that book, it's called "My First Heat: Whats Happening to Me?!". A stallion with a cart of books should be stopping by later, ask him if he could get it for you."

Ryan was now laying on her belly, legs tucked in. She still had a tinge of red to her face.

"Alright, I'll give it a read. Thank you and sorry for you know...freaking out."

"It's fine, but you know we have to do it again right?"

"I know...."

They got back in their previous positions, Ryan opting to leave the pillow this time. Ryan let out a small squeak every once in a while but remained quiet otherwise. Soon Medi was done and they were both standing as Medi made a few more notes on her clipboard.

"And so you haven't had any other problems aside from the sensitivity?"

"Nope, I feel fine. At least nothing hurts anyway."

"Good to hear, now I have given you all of your major examinations and with my magical assistance your recovery has almost sped by. You'll still need to stay for the next three days as per the rules. In that time I will come see you for daily check ups to make sure there's no delayed effects and answer any questions you have about your new body. If you need to use the bathroom just tap on the door three times and a magical alert will have a nurse come by to guide you to one."

"Um, Why do I need to be escorted to the bathroom? And I was thinking, why aren't there any bathrooms in the recovery rooms anyway?"

"You may be recovering quickly but you still had a major operation and are still going to be held to the same rules. As for the bathrooms, the medical wing of the castle is really a lot older than it looks. It's been taken well care of over the years and has had many renovations, but unfortunately bathrooms is just something they haven't quite gotten around to yet. It was made before proper plumbing had been invented so there use to be a whole other section for out houses. And lastly we don't want another instance of you running around as though you're a wonderbolt."

Ryan rubbed the back of her head.

"Oh, that. Heh heh..."

Medi giggled as she opened the door, stepping half way through before looking back.

"I understand dear, just try not to make more guards question themselves because they couldn't stop a patient from running rampant."

"I'll try my best."

Medi smiled and left, leaving Ryan to her own musings. Ryan passed a bit more time by reading up some more on her history before she grew bored of that and stood up to stretch out her legs. As she walked around the room randomly her mind turned back to her talk with Medi.

"Heat...."

She started to walk a little faster.

"I'm going to go through heat."

She was walking in a tight little circle.

"And the only help I have is a book I don't even have yet."

Pinkie nodded her head as she walked next to her.

"I don't think books help you walk in circles either."

"ACK?!"

Ryan jumped, nearly hitting the wall. It made Pinkie giggle as she bounced right into Ryan's face.

"Hi, I'm Pinkie Pie!"

"Um, hell-"

"Hello to you to! Oh my gosh it's so exciting to meet an alien! Do you eat cake on your planet."

"Well yea-"

"What am I saying? OF COURSE you eat cake! Who doesn't like cake? Nobody, that's who!"

"Okay, anywa-"

"Oh I can't believe I'm meeting the first ever alien to come to Equestria!"

Pinkie's eye widened, she stood up on her back hooves, put her forehooves to the side of her head, and let out a huge gasp.

"THAT'S RIGHT! You'rethefirsteveralienheremeaningthatyou'rethefirstonetoeverhavea "Welcome to Earth" partyandthatmeansIhavetomakesurethatyouhavetheabsolutlybestpartyever!"

Ryan only had a second to blink before Pinkie took her face in her hooves and shoved it in to hers, their eyes almost touching.

"I Pinkie Promise that I will throw you not only the first but the BEST "Welcome to Earth" parties EVER, cross my heart and hope to fly, stick a cupcake in my eye!"

She finished a small series of motions off with sticking a hoof in her eye. The sight made Ryan cringe.

("How does that not hurt?")

"Um...well thanks....I guess."

Pinkie just giggled again.

"Of course, what are friends for?"

With that Pinkie bounced away from the confused mare. She hopped over to the door and grabbed the handle.

"And speaking of friends mine are here to see you too!'

And so she opened the door to reveal a surprised purple unicorn standing with a hoof raised ready to knock.

"Huh? Pinkie?" The unicorn looked behind her at what looked to be some other ponies and then looked back to the still bouncing pink energy ball.

"When did you leave? And how did you get here before us?"

"Well you see I was really excited to meet the alien so I went on ahead as soon as the chariot landed and I found that if you go through the window it's a whole lot faster so that's how I got here first!"

Glancing to the window Ryan saw that it was open.

("Is she a ninja or something?")

"Hello there."

Looking back over Ryan saw that The unicorn had walked in now, her entourage following behind. Her mane and tail was a darker purple than her fur, with a even darker streak of purple and a streak of pink running through both. Now that Ryan could see her closer the purple one was really an alicorn.

("How many princesses are there? Or is she even a princess anyway?")

Last thing about the purple possible princess was that she had some sort of star cutie mark.

The one on the alicorns left was the first pegasus pony she had gotten a good look at. A solid cyan color to her fur with a rainbow mane and tail, she stood out a little more than the others. She looked lean and well toned, probably an athlete. A cloud with rainbow thunder was what decorated her bum.

The next was on their other side, an earth pony from the looks of it. She was the only one wearing any clothes out of all of them, a simple cowboy hat. She had a pure blond mane/tail, with orange fur. She looked to be pretty built too but gave off more of a hard worker vibe than anything. The three apples on her flanks reminded Ryan that she hadn't eaten in a while.

("I need to remember to ask when lunch is, I've probably missed breakfast in all the drama this morning.")

Beside the cowpony was a white unicorn with nicely kept deep purple mane and tail. It was obvious she was trying to appear high class, and Ryan had to admit she did. She gave off a nice elegance that made itself known but did not try to overpower the others presence in the process. Ryan could appreciate that even if she wasn't one for that high society stuff. Ryan realized she would never again be able to play Minecraft thanks to the diamonds the unicorns bum wore.

Lastly was the one cowering behind the the athletic pegasus. It was hard to see her, not only was she hiding behind the more confident winged pony, but she was also hiding behind her own long pink hair. Ryan could see one bright blue eye peeking out and ducking back in every now again with what could have been an "eep" is one listened closely.

The one they called Pinkie Pie would have gotten look over but Ryan had already got all she wanted to see of her and more.

"Hello? Are you okay? Did you do something Pinkie?"

"NO, well yes, but I was just telling her abo-"

Ryan realized she had dazed off has she examined the new ponies. Deciding it was time to actually say something.

"-and then they were like "Bozongo" and I was like "Okymoky!"

The alicorn let off a groan.

"Pinkie, I just wanted to know if-"

"Excuse me, I haven't introduced myself. My names Ryan. Who are all of you?"

The alicorn was thrown off from her impending rant, Pinkie as she was named just going back to bouncing in place happily. The purple possibly princess pony looked to Ryan again with a sheepish smile.

"Oh, I'm sorry. My name is Twilight Sparkle."

("If she has anything to do with those books I am going to jump out the window.")

"This is Rainbow Dash." Twilight said gesturing to the blue Pegasus.

"Whats up?" Rainbow greeted, puffing out her chest slightly.

"I don't know, I should be the one asking you that."

"Heh, I guess so huh?"

Twilight interjected there.

"And the one hiding behind her is Fluttershy. As you can plainly see, she is very shy."

The yellow and pink quivering mass poked it's one eye out again and said something.

"~~~~~~~."

Ryan leaned in a little.

"I'm sorry, what was that."

"It's nice to meet you."

Ryan took a step closer and got on her knees to be on eye level with her.

"Do you mind speaking up a little? I can't hear you."

Fluttershy hid a little further behind her mane but obliged to Ryan's request.

"It's nice to meet you."

I was hard to hear but Ryan still got it and smiled.

"Thank you and it's very nice to meet you too."

Fluttershy go a blush on her cheeks, went "Eep!", and hid behind her mane again, though she did stop quivering. Ryan could only tilt her head in confusion. She just shrugged her shoulders and stood back up, turning back to Twilight but before either could say anything the orange mare came right up to her, grabbed her hoof and started to shake it furiously.

"Well howdy there sugarcube, my names Applejack!"

Ryan hoof felt like it was going fast enough to create fusion energy. Ryan felt a small spark of competition in her.

("If she wants to shake then I'll shake!")

With that Ryan started putting as much strength as she could into match and even out shaking Applejack's. This lead to the both of them bouncing just as Pinkie was, each swing up having the power to very shortly lift them in the air. They stopped after a moment, Ryan stretching out her foreleg from it's sudden exercise.

"Wowie, you've got quit the leg on ya there. I'm mighty impressed."

"I just shook your hoof. Nothing to be impressed with."

"Oh but darling! I have learned from personal experience that even the littlest of things can be grand things if you know what you're doing."

This was the white unicorn walking around Applejack to be in front of Ryan.

"Of but please forgive me, I'm Rarity. An absolute pleasure to make your acquaintance dear."

Rarity stuck her hoof out to Ryan. Ryan shook it much more carefully, knowing better than to try and shake this dainty looking mare hoof like it was the brake lever on a train heading for a cliff like she had with Applejack's.

"I must say it is quite exciting to meet someone who is of an entirely different world altogether."

Ryan walked over to the bed and got on before replying.

"So you all know about that then?"

They all nodded.

"It's not really much of a secret is it?"

Twilight seated her self in a chair she had pulled close to the bed.

"Outside of me and my friends, the princesses, and the medical staff no one knows about where you came from. Your secret is still safe for now."

As all of the other made an impromptu circle around her Ryan decided to get the biggest elephant out of the way.

"I don't mean any offense from this, but I would feel better about my secret if I knew a bit more about you all other than just your names, and apparently the fact that I'm going to have a welcome party."

Pinkie grinned broadly and Twilight nodded.

"That's fine, I would be a little suspicious of some random ponies I just met too. I'll explain. I used to be Princess Celestia's personal student until I became a princess myself. It was both the most exciting and the scariest moment of my life! I wasn't even sure what I was supposed to do as princess, but with my friends I was more than ready to take on what ever came at me. Without them I wouldn't be where I am now."

Twilight was beaming, her friends having come together for a quick group hug.

("It's a good thing I'm already in a hospital 'cus that definitely just gave me diabetes.")

Breaking the hug Twilight began again.

"So when Luna brought you over Celestia wrote to me asking for my assistance, wanting me to see if I could find anything on your species."

"Oh right, I remember being told about you now. I'm guessing you couldn't find anything?"

"Nothing that could be useful, The most I could find was legends and myths. It's a shame that I never got a chance to examine humans more closely when I had the opportunity."

"Wait wait wait, you've seen other humans?"

Ryan got a bit excited at this, hope gathering in her that this world might not be so foreign after all.

"Well yes, but only briefly. You see somepony had stolen my crown, which also happened to be my element of harmony, and in order to get it back I had to go to the human world. In short I managed to get it back but I had not time to stay or I would have been stuck there forever. I knew what you were, but I still had no idea how to help you."

Twilight looked at Ryan apolitically. Ryan was a little disappointed but fine.

("I didn't lose anything anyway.")

"It's all right, I'm just grateful that you tried and that I'm alive. It might seem like it but from what I understand it could have been a LOT worse."

Twilight perked up at this.

"Alright, so now I know who you are, why are you here?"

"Well I wanted to meet the being that had me up to the early hours of the day and gotten both the princesses to help them. My friends wanted to come meet you as well and I saw no harm in taking them along too."

"Oh, well here I am. The human turned pony."

"Oh I already know that, I wanted to learn more about you and your species."

"Learn about humans? Alright, tha-"

Rarity propped her forelegs up on the bed and got closer to Ryan.

"I in particular am interested in learning about your fashion, I mean a whole species that always wearing clothes simply MUST have great fashion sense!"

"Um, well I might not be-"

Applejack copied Rarity, getting even closer.

"I was wondering now 'bout your farmers m'self. How do they buck trees with those legs like you got, er, had?"

"Buck? I don-"

Rainbow zoomed in next, getting almost right in Ryan's face.

"How the heck do you control the weather if you don't have wings or magic?"

"We-well we don't, it-"

Fluttershy got closer as well, though that was just moving from the foot of the bed to the side.

"I-I was hoping that yo-you could tell me about your animals, especially the if you have any bunnies, that is if you don't mind."

("Correction, that's going to give me diabetes.")

"Well when I was younger-"

Pinkie once again smosed her face right into Ryan's.

"GUACAMOLE, YES OR NO?!"

"MAYBE?!"

Pinkie just nodded at this, backing off just a bit to reveal that all six of the ponies were starting to argue, each wanting to get their answer first. As they bickered they drew in on Ryan, her backing up until she hit the wall.

"HUMANS!"

"FASHION!"

"BUCKING!"

"WEATHER!"

"BUNNIES!"

"RABBLE RABBLE!"

("HELP!")

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"He's a scoundrel and you know it."

"Yeah but he's a cute scoundrel!"

The two nurses were discussing something pertaining to stallions when they heard some yelling from down the hall they were in. As was their job they went to investigate. The voices got louder as they got closer. Just as they were at the door it was coming from a voice rose above the others.

"I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE!!!"

Then a thump could be heard followed by a pony in a patient's gown bursting through the door and running like mad past them. Right after her came a group of ponies, one of which they recognized as Princess Twilight. In the madness the nurses had the mind to try and bow as she rushed by along with her friends. They were all calling for the first pony to stop. Once all of them had made the turn at the end of the hall the nurses looked up, then to each other, then to where the ponies had run off to.

"Was that the special patient we have that just ran by?"

"And that was the newest princess chasing after her."

They stood looking where they had gone before turning back and walking again.

"We'll go tell Doctor Stitch Heart, after we've gotten some coffee."

"Right."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

("SECOND TIME IN ONE DAY THAT I'VE RAN THROUGH THIS DAMN HOSPITAL!!!")

Ryan was trying her best to not run into anypony as she was perused by the ponies that wanted answers from her. She had zigzagged around the various hospital goers, having made it to the reception area fairly fast. The guards that had been standing at the doors before were gone this time when she got out of the hall.

("When I actually need them their off somewhere fudging about!")

As she almost reached the desk she looked behind her to check on her chasers.

("I'm starting to lose most of them but that cowponys keeping up and skittles is catching up!")

Clearing the desk quickly Ryan saw a purple flash in front of her and suddenly Twilight was there waiting at the door.

("NO FAIR, she cheated!")

"Please wait, we want to say that we're sorry!"

"Then stop chasing me!"

Twilight made a stance, reading herself to cast a spell if she needed. Ryan made to ram her. Just as Twilight looked ready to cast her spell Ryan jumped on her back, doing a slide and slipping right by the surprised purple pony. Getting up turning around Ryan slammed the door behind her just as Rainbow was going to crash into Twilight. The resulting *THUNK* was the signal for Ryan to start running again. She shot off in the first direction she could find and hoped she wouldn't run into anypony else.

("I just need to find somewhere to hide for until they have gone and hopefully I can slip back to my room before Celestia finds out. I'm sure if I explain the situation to Medi she'll understand.")

Ryan had rounded a few corners now, trying her best to avoid anything living. Every now and then she would duck into to another hall or behind an ornament as a maid or royal guard passed her. Eventually she started to slow down and then stopped, realizing something.

"I didn't memorize which way I came from. Buck."

Looking at where she was she could see she was in a sort of waiting room, thankfully empty, and that there was a large black door with a crescent moon embolized on it.

"Okay, I'm guessing that might be some kind of room for Luna. She doesn't get up until night so it might be a good place to hide 'till I figure out what I'm going to do."

With that sentiment Ryan walked in, making sure that nopony was around quickly. Now inside she saw that it was in fact a court like room with minor differences. The seats were all stands pushed to the sides of the room, tall windows stretching a good fifteen feet up, unlit torches between each one. They touched the ceiling which depicted to alicorns chasing each others tails in a circle with a sun and moon in the style of a yin yang symbol.

"A safe bet would be that's Luna and Celestia up there. Makes sense I guess, I mean they can control the moon and sun. Scary really."

Further down the long room where the usual judge stand set up would be there was instead one seat, a throne with that crescent moon again, at the top of a small set of stairs.

"This must be where Luna holds her night court. It's smaller then I would have expected honestly."

Ryan looked for somewhere she could rest as she thought of what to do. Walking around the room a bit she found that a thin curtain separated the the under side of the stands the rest of the room. Checking the other side of the curtains Ryan saw that the space behind the stands was empty other than a few poles holding up the stands.

"This should be a good place."

Crawling in and find a comfy spot Ryan laid down on her side, putting a leg under her head. After she was comfortable she thought over what she should do.

("I think I'm going to just have to find a guard and explain myself, there's no way I'm going to find my way back on my own. I know if Celestia finds out not even she will be willing to put up with this shit anymore. I just hope she listens to me before she does anything.")

Sigh~

("How the fucking buck did I get into such deep do-do when I got here just a few days ago? And why am I saying buck now?")

Ryan laid still, just letting her thoughts drift. After a while her eyes started to get heavy. She rubbed them with the back of her hooves.

("Nope, can't fall asleep here. Last time I fell asleep at some random place I picked I died. Plus I can't stick around here too long, need to figure out how to get back to my room.......but this floor is really comfy.")

Internally a small battle waged over rather to take a nap or go ahead and get going. Three minutes later her fight was over and her eyes closed.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"THE NIGHT COURT IS NOW IN SESSION!"

Jolting from her sleep Ryan whipped her head around looking for it's source. Shadows stretched around her from in front of the stands, made by the now aflame torches as to strife off the dark night that came from the windows.. She could hear loud murmuring coming from the many seats she laid under. Trying to be as quiet as she could Ryan walked over to the curtain and very carefully pulled the curtain aside just enough so she had a sliver to peek through. Using one eye she looked about to find that day had turned to night and that the once bare courtroom was now filled to the brim with ponies, some sitting on pillows next to the stands which were full of more ponies. Looking to the front Ryan could see Luna sitting upon her throne, ponies similar to the guards she had seen before but with dark gray fur, clad in dark blue and purple armor, and with bat like eyes and wings stood to either side of her and the entrance doors.

And she was looking right at Ryan with a devious smile and a gleam to her eye.

"Oh buck me."
