Awkward Introductions

Previous Chapter

After she asked spike to tidy up the library, she went to gather her friends and tell them about the dream. She wanted to know what they thought about it and if they had any advice. Twilight never had anything like this before, so a little help wouldn't hurt. She has almost all of her friends gathered. They just need Fluttershy.

me.

Rainbow Dash: Why cant you just tell us now?

I would prefer to tell all of my friends Rainbow.

Rarity: Darling, you sound a bit tense. Is something wrong?

That's just it. I don't know what it is. That's why I want to tell you all. To see what you think about it.

Pinkie Pie: Will cupcakes help? I can get us all cupcakes if you al want!

Apple Jack: That's mighty nice of you, but I don't think cupcakes are gonna help us right now.

It might help me. I'm a bit hungry.

Maybe later Rainbow. I would prefer if we go get Fluttershy first.

Ugh! Fine.

Scot woke up from a rather empty dream to find himself sleeping on a couch in a small house. He couldn't recognize the house, but he did recognize the handle on the table not too far away. The handle that housed the folding blade. When he tried to stand, he was met with instant pain from his chest and leg. Apparently the impact from the shadows tackle did damage to his leg. After sitting back down, he noticed the bandages on his leg and chest. There was blood, but its mostly dried up so he must have been patched up a while ago. As nice as it is for someone to help him like this, Scot just wanted to know who his savior is. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw movement near the couch. He turned to look and saw a white rabbit on the couch. Both Scot and the rabbit starred at each other confused for the longest time.  Scot broke the silence as he reached over to pet it.

What a cute little thing.

Then the rabbit bit his hand.

OW! I don't need another wound!

Hello?

Scot heard this from the other room and knew he had to respond.

Are you the one who saved me in the forest?

Y-yes. I thought you needed help when I saw the blood. I didn't know you could talk though.

Thank you, but why did you think I couldn't talk?

I h-haven't seen anything like you before. I hope I didn't offend you in any way.

Of course not. May I see the face of my savior? If you don't mind of course.

Scot was not prepared for what he saw next. What came out of the other room was a yellow pony with wings. Something strait out of a kids fairytale bedtime story. And Scot was having a conversation with it. Just like with the rabbit, Scot and the pony stared at each other for the longest time and like before, broke the silence.

Is that rabbit your pet?

Y-yes.

Cute rabbit. Does it have a name?

His name is Angle.

Oh! Speaking of names, I don't think I told you mine yet. My name is Scot Wilson. How about you?

I'm Fluttershy.

Could you help me one last time? I'm confused.

About what?

About where I am, what you are, why your rabbit seams to hate me, and where my items went! I cant think strait anymore.

Then the door opens to reveal five other ponies.

Fluttershy! What is that!

Is the whole land covered in ponies! Ahh my head hurts!

Umm...

...I'm going to go find my stuff.

After they all introduce one another, the ponies tell Scot about Equestria, ponies, the princesses, and about the Elements of Harmony. Scot tells them about himself and about his home, but not about the plague. While the ponies continue to tell Scot about themselves, a dark figure watches them from afar.
