Chapter 17: A Heart Rebroken

I sighed when I was working in the lightning room. A machine was supposed to apparently do more than it should have. Some idiot had apparently accidentally spilled some jam into the machine. I was wondering why jam of all things made it stopped. It's not even lunch break yet! I shrugged it off soon as I faced the most dangerous part of my job. This room could have millions of problems. I got down and looked at the circuitry and started replacing all the damaged parts of the machine. I was scared. If I made one wrong move, I would either die or be seriously injured. I heard hoof steps and looked over to see the new guy at the job. He had spike brown man with a lighter brown coat, with an hour glass for a cutie mark. His name was Doctor Whooves.

"Hey Doc! Can you give me a hoof here?" I asked. He nods.

"Yes sir Mr... Sam was it?" He asked. I nodded. He smiles and walks over. He points out that some of what I did was wrong. When I started placing a wire in place, the doctor's eyes went wide and tried to stop me. I then saw blackness.

I opened my eyes, curse the bright sun!!! I yawned and got up. My sister should be running to me any second now.

"Sam? Sam are you okay?!" Asked a feminine voice. I opened my eyes to see something blue and have rainbows. I think my sister went overboard.

"Betsy, don't draw on yourself, I dunno how you got sky blue, but please don't," I said as I went back down to sleep. I was shaken up by the same sister I didn't want to deal with.

"Sam snap out of it!" Almost yelled the same voice. I felt my heart stop when I realized it wasn't my sister. I cracked an eye open, which turned wide when I saw some sort of horse with wings.

"What.The.Fuck," I said slowly. The horse gave me a confused look. "Corry!" I yelled. I didn't hear an answer. "CORRY!!!" The horse shook its head and grabbed me.

"Sam, who's Corry?" It asked. I felt my heart skip five beats and I ran like hell. I was running fast. I had just opened a window, jumped through, land on a roof and start jumping and running from roof to roof. It reminded me of a game called Vector, but I didn't care and kept running. I then jumped, and screamed when I saw no more roofs. I was then jerked up. I looked up to see some sort of rope, instead I see the same blue horse. I screamed and got away from it's grip. I landed, and ran. I was then met with the first person I wanted to see.

"Jacob! I'm either high or screwed up in the head, but a blue horse with wings is chasing me!!!" I yelled shaking him. He stopped me and looked at me strangely.

"Sam, are you talking about Rainbow Dash?" He asks. It's my turn to look at him strangely.

"The hell's a rainbow dash?" I asked. He then went wide eyed.

"You know, your wife?" He asked cautiously. I went wide eyed.

"Was I drunk or something I mean what the hell!?" I yelled. I noticed he was carrying my pack. I grabbed it and rummage through it. I found my pistol and pulled it out.

"Since when in hell did your pack have a gun!?" He yelled back. I saw the blue horse and pointed the gun at it. I feel my heart pounding. Jacob hits my arm, making me miss my shot, and punches me in the face. I stumbled back astonished. I aimed again none the less. The pegasus thing stopped.

"S-Sam?" It asked shakily. I was terrified. I kept backing up.

"How do you know my name?!" I asked. It started hovering to me but I yelled more fiercely. "Answer me. How the hell do you know my name!?" I asked. It looked at me in shocked.

"Y-you don't remember?" She asked. I kept my gun up. I fired a warning shot at the ground, making her flinch.

"Answer me dammit," I said. It started tearing up.

"Sam, calm do-" Jacob was cut off when I point the gun at him then back at the horse. I then felt a pain on my face as I saw a fist. I woke up again in the same hospital room. I looked around. My friends are there. I had a confused look.

"Um, hey guys, why am I in a hospital?" I asked. Jacob just shook his head. Max sighed.

"Do you remember what happened?" He asked looking at me. I shook my head. They all looked at each other worriedly. I don't like this.

"Sam, do you know where you are?" Tom asked.

"Um, freaking America? Land where people can be idiots?" I asked. They shook their heads. "Britain?" I asked. Some of the stuff here is fancy. They shook their head. "Paris?" I asked. They groaned and looked at me.

"This is Equestria," Max said.

"... What the hell's Equestria?" I asked. They grimaced as I sat in confusion. A horse walked in and I nearly screamed. "Does anyone else see the rainbow horse?" I asked. They all nodded. My eyes shrank. "So... Um, what's your name?" I asked her. She looked like she just got slapped in the face.

"My name's Rainbow Dash," she answered. I nodded.

"Why were you chasing me?" I asked. She frowned even more.

"I wanted to see if you knew anything or not," she said. I nodded.

"Why are you visiting me?" I asked. She looked like she was slapped twice.

"Because, I needed to know how you were feeling!" She said almost yelling. I scooted back a bit.

"Why would you care?" I asked. She looked down.

"Because you are special to me," the rainbow horse said. I was kind of shocked by this but I nodded understanding.

"Well, thank you for answering some of my questions," I said. She smiled a little bit. "Now don't let me be a pain in your flank, you can go," I said. She shook her head.

"Buddy, I'm staying with you," Rainbow Dash said. I was shocked by this.

"Why?" I asked.

"You're special," she answered. I smiled. The others had gone while me and Rainbow Dash have been talking. I don't know why, but I feel like I'm connected to her some how.

"Well, where I come from, I'm not really special," I said. She tilts her head.

"Really?" She asks. I nod.

"Yeah, I'm usually just 'the weird guy' where I was from," I said. She chuckles.

"Well, if you have any other questions, ask me," she said.

"I do have this one question, how long have I been in this place?" I asked.

"Including being outside of the hospital, 2-3 years," Rainbow answered simply. I tilted my head.

"Is my family okay?" I asked. Rainbow panicked, but smiled.

"Yes, they are fine," she lied. I sighed in relief. I soon fell asleep in my hospital bed, peacefully.
