"Well, what do we has here?" said a male voice in a southern drawl the Light brown pony stood there wondering what he had heard only to notice "My goodness It's somepony they look harmed I better get 'em inside pronto before it gets dark." with that said the pony put the wounded Dark green pony in a cart that so happened to be close by "I ought to be careful no telling how badly damaged he be." slowly but surely the Brown pony put the green pony on cart and as to not rock the cart possibly already hurting pony he trotted carefully.
Later
"Daddy!" screamed a sharp small female voice as an another lighter brown pony as small as a dog hugged the larger brown pony
"What took you so long dear?" said a sweet middle aged mare
"No time to explain!" said the male pony "I found a injured pony soon after I finished I need help bring him in!"
The dirty white mare nodded following the brown pony outside to see the injured pony in the cart, bruises covering the pony's body "What happened?" the whitish pony asked
"No clue, one second i'm working the next I hear a strange sound and find him near its source hopefully he'll tell us when he wakes."
"Will he be OK dad?" said the worried filly
"I hope so for now the best thing we can do is get him in a bed to rest and contact Nurse Sweetheart as soon as possible. I'll have to head into town tomorrow thankfully I have nothing to do tomorrow but for now lets get him into a bed to rest." the two older ponies struggled but eventually got the pony in a spare bed they usually reserved for guests but it didn't seem to bother ether of them.
Next day
"Ugh what happened, w...where am I?" thought the disoriented green pony he tried to open his eyes to see around him failing to do so he next tried to move "Ouch, OK that was a mistake I clearly can't move yet still I wonder whats going on?" before he could continue his thought he fell asleep again exhausted from just trying to move.
A few hours latter
"I really hope you can help him Nurse Sweetheart he's really beat up"said the brown pony as he opened his front door
"I'm sure I can at lest help him heal up faster, with out knowing what caused his injuries I can't just use my healing spell on his as I normally would." Explained a pure white pony right behind the brown pony "Now where is the patient?" asked Nurse Sweetheart
"Follow me." he said to the nurse showing her the battered green pony
"He looks like he is mainly bruised for the most part I'd imagine his injuries are mainly external but just to be safe I'd better not use my magic in case it's worse then it seams." explained the Nurse "I have to ask for your help as I start to treat his wounds and begin to bandage him up to the best extent I can." she said
"I understand just tell me what I need to do." said the stallion
About 2 hours latter
"Ow, whats going on?" the green pony asked in his mind still not able to talk
"Mr. Ackers can you pass me the bandages over there?" he heard a female ask
"Of course, here you go."
"What are they doing to me?" thought the green pony worry full of what was going on 'uhm' the two ponies heard as the nurse tried to lift the green pony
"Oh your awake, no need to worry your safe try to sleep as we try bandage you up I promise that this is for the best" explained the female voice
"OK" he groaned to his best of his abilities. He didn't know if she was telling the truth but for now he didn't have much choice in the matter as he couldn't even move much less argue with her in his condition "I hope your telling me the truth lady." he thought to himself. Only to fall to sleep almost right away.
A few minutes latter.
"Honey we're home!" The dirty white mare explained following her was the light brown filly
"I'm in the guest room!" a male voice said the white mare went to the room in question
"How is he doing?" the white mare asked
"He's going to be alright for now but i'd keep an eye on him he is going to be hungry when he wakes and possibly thirsty as well. You should feed him as soon as you can." said the nurse "I had better get going, inform me of any major events when possible but till then try not to move him or give him hot or solid food for a while no tilling the extent of his injuries and he should be fine." with that Nurse Sweetheart took her leave
"Thank you Nurse Sweetheart." said the white mare. "So dear any changes other then the obvious bandages?" the white mare ask the brown stallion
"Only that he woke up shortly before we put them on and he is aware he is hurt there wasn't much else that happened." she looked worried
"No need to worry mommy the nice nurse pony said he'll be OK." said the sweet little filly.
A few days latter
"It been a while since I arrived; these people seem to mean me no harm that's good." The green pony thought still unable to fully form words yet though he was getting better somethings where still out of his reach such as total movement of his body, the ability to speak complete words and most importantly see. He had hoped that he be able to see the ones responsible for his well being it wasn't that he didn't trust them but he did want to be able to see again "At least they're taking good care of me but the second i'm able to talk I have so many questions for them." with that he went back to sleep.

Twinx AKA William Goldheart
3 Days Latter
“Well it’s been a long week thank the heavens that they are feeding me but if I have to eat mushed food for any longer I may go a little crazy; I have healed up nicely though, when I get the chance I have to thank that nurse Sweetheart; I wonder why they call her by that name though it doesn’t sound like a proper name but I guess nether does Forest Ackers who I need to thank the most.” Said the green pony in his weakened state “At least I can talk and see now it’s about time I start thanking them for all they have done and will do until I’m fully healed; still can’t over the feeling that the names of my host aren’t quite as common as they make them out to be perhaps I’m just farther from my home then I think and these names are normal here, I shouldn’t judge at lest they know their names the best I got is a first name that I can’t say is mine or not.” As if on que he heard the familiar sound of the front door opening “Ah, perfect maybe I’ll get my chance to at least thank one of them even that small one who comes to cheek on me when her parents are too busy and tells me of her day; little does she it was largely her stories of her day that made my days when I couldn’t see bearable to some degree it was better than the nothing I had to do all day.” He reminisced about the stories she told him, they were a nice distraction from the pain he felt and he know that even though she was young, the stories felt calming and reminiscent of the memories he had yet to recover. “I wonder what they look like.”
A few seconds earlier
“I can’t wait to see how Mr. Green is doing.” Said the light brown filly as she approached the farm house door “I hope he’s doing well, Nurse Sweetheart said he should up and about in no time; and he has even started to move and start talking.” The filly said quite pleased with how well her patent was doing, she took extra care to help him feel better over the last few days she even started telling him about her day so he wasn’t bored even though her mom and dad told her not to bother him. She opened the front door as she did she noticed a note on the table it read.
Dear Seedling
I won’t be back for a while so you’re in charge until I return. Give our guest his food and feed him then let him sleep try not to bother him too much. I should be back before too long and I trust you can take care of yourself till then.
Love Mom.
“Awesome mom must really be starting to trust me now.” Said the chipper voice “I’d better take this to Mr. Green now so I don’t forget, I hope he’s awake”
Present time
Carrying the food with caution the young filly made her way to the guest room where the green pony sleep “Ah, I hear someone coming I hope they have something to eat I’m starved.” Thought the green pony.
“Afternoon Mr. Green.” He really didn’t like the nickname the young one had chosen for him it sounded right out silly but he didn’t have much to say about it that was till today he could finally tell her to stop calling him that. Why does she insist on calling me that name it so silly. he thought as the door to the room opened.
“Well its mushed carrots again to bad you’re still having trouble chewing I can’t imagine you like being treated like a baby.”
“Oh, I don’t know I could get used to being spoon feed every day, particularly if it’s from someone as nice as you little one.”
“You sound all better, if I didn’t know better I ask you to stand up and come outside to play with me.”
“Almost there I can’t thank you or your parents enough for what you all have done for…” He paused as a figure started to appear at the bottom of his view “Me?”
“What’s the matter Mr. Green?” Asked the concerned filly. Blinking his eyes over and over again he found it hard to reply. A horse. Why was there a small horse were he expected a small little girl to be and it was talking to him in the little girl’s voice he thought.
“What the …?” he paused as he spoke “Where is Seedling? Who are you? What are you? How can you talk? What’s going on?” he said freaking out before turning over to his back. He quickly then fainted.
“What the Hay was that about?” questioned the filly “I should leave this here until mommy or daddy get home maybe they know why he freaked out.” The young one reasoned.
A hour or so latter
“Ugh, what a strange dream I thought Seedling was a horse that could talk and…” before he could finish he noticed two things He now was on his back now and the three concerned looking horses looking at him “OK, not a dream what’s going on?” he asked.
“First things first.” said the whitish one who sound like Annie; Forester’s wife “Let’s feed you; you’re probable really hungry by now you fainted before you could eat your meal and it has been an hour or so since then.” The green ones stomach growled at the mention of food so he just nodded his head for now.
“Good!” the white pony approached his side and with a spoon in its hoof it started feeding him the carrots he missed out on earlier. After he had finished the bowl of carrots he could help but stare for a bit trying to wrap his head around what was going on than he spoke in a calm manner.
“What’s going on here? Why do you sound like the ones who were taking care of me?” they looked confused as to the question I ask it took a while before the Brown stallion replied with the answer.
“We are the ones who have been taking care of you. I’m Acker Forest!” He said in an uplifting voice.
“I’m Annie Trowel, his wife and mother to this little one.” She said in a nervous but calm voice.
“And I’m Merry Seeds but everpony calls me Seedling!” said the filly in her usual chipper voice.
“I know the names you speak but while I…” He stopped. He look at where he expected an extended arm “Where is my hand? Why do I have a hoof?”
“Calm yourself or you’ll faint again. What do you mean hand? You’re a pony just like anypony ease!” said Forest.
“No, I’m a…” he said only to pause and think Why can’t I remember what I am? he continued “I don’t remember but I know I’m not a pony. What happened?”
“We were hoping you could tell us. You were found out on the farm and then Forest brought you in to treat your wounds.” Said Annie. The green pony thought hard on it and replied.
“I don’t know the only thing I really remember is a name that I have no clue who it belongs to or where it comes from.” He said dejected.
“Well then tell us it unless you prefer we call you Mr. Green until you remember!” Said Forest jokingly.
“No thank you please I’d rather you didn’t it’s a silly name for one and two It just doesn’t sound right.” He said expecting to see a frown on the young filly’s face “Then I guess I’m William until I remember who I am.”
“Well it’s nice to meet you properly William. It’s good to see your condition has improved.” Said a pleased Forest.
“Not really I think the shock moved me more than anything ease though that’s not to say I’m not feeling better. I have a lot of questions but they will have to wait for two reasons. One it’s late and though I just woke up from fainting I’m think I need more rest. Two I need time to think about what’s going on here and try to make some sense out of it.”
“We understand. You sleep; today must have been stressful it will do you a world of good as well give us time to think as well.” Said Annie. As they left the room Seedling spoke.
“I’m happy you’re OK now; but don’t worry we’ll help you remember who you are!” Then they left with queried looks upon their faces.
“I know they have questions so do I but I think its best we try to understand what going on before we start asking questions. It help if we know something about what is going on but for now the best then we can do is go over the things we need to know about right away. Like where am I? What do we do next? Before we ask the big ones like why they are all ponies?” William thought as he drifted off to sleep he yawned out “But first I need sleep today has been interesting to say the least.
The next day
The ponies gathered in front of their guest after feeding him and sat “I hope you all sleep well and thought of what questions to ask me as I did” they nodded “Good you should start I’m your guest and you have taken such good care of me it only seems fair you get your answers first though I don’t know how well I can answer.” William said.
“I’ll start if that’s alright?” Forest ask his family they nodded their heads in unison “Good, so my first question is what do you remember I recall you saying the name you have given yourself was the only thing but there must be more to your memory then that?”
“I remember the days I was awake the first was when that nurse healed me; before that all I think I can remember other than the name is a faint memory of sounds I can’t recall and voices I can’t place. Other than that I know your names and that I’m on your farm and not much else.” William replied saddened.
“I’ll go next.” Said Annie “You ask use about your hands though you’re a pony why? And what are Hands”
“I don’t know but I have this feeling I had hands before I can’t quite explain it. As to what hands are the best way I can think to describe them is to compare them to claws but I don’t know if that’s quite accurate.” William told confused as they seemed to be.
“Can I go next?” asked Seedling her parents nodded “Do you have a family?” Shocked at her question, William answered as to not upset her.
“I'm not too sure I think so but I can’t really remember it’s quite possible that I do.” He did his best to smile to keep her hopes up.
“Seedling how about we let him ask us questions now ok?” asked Forest she nodded.
“Ok then! You said you found me on your farm other than that I don’t know where I am?” Asked William.
“Yes you’re on my farm, Forester Farms in Equstria near the village of Ponyvile.” He said.
“Some of that sounds somewhat familiar but wrong all at once. Anyway that’s best left for another time on to my next question. What do I look like? I’m clearly not as I think I remember.” Annie lifted a hand mirror up to the pony he saw in the reflection a dark green pony with a horn on its head and brown hair covered in bruising and bandages “That’s what I look like wow I’m pretty beat up and you right I’m a pony but what’s with that horn on my head I don’t see a horn on your heads?”
“That’s because you’re a unicorn and we are earth ponies.” Said Annie.
“OK? What’s a unicorn and earth ponies and should I prepare for anything else?” William asked.
“There are four types of ponies. First there are earth ponies like us who are known for their strength and connection to the earth, Second are unicorns like you who are known for their intelligence and use of magic, third there are Pegasus ponies who are known for their speed and wings, and last but not lest Alicorns although there are only three of those currently they are the rulers of Equestria and are said to have the powers of the three other types and are known for the large amount of magic they can pull off.” Said Annie. William sat there trying to make sense of what he was just told.
“That makes me want to ask a whole bunch of new questions but they will have to wait. On to my next question for now. What is this magic you speak of?” asked William.
“All unicorns and the Alicorn princesses can do magic though their horn what type of magic is determined on what they studied, what their cutie mark is, and/or how old they are.” Said Annie.
“Cutie what now?” William asked.
“A Cutie mark is a mark that appears on the flank of a pony when that pony discovers what makes them special and are usually related to a pony’s talent, almost everypony will have a cutie mark by the time they reach adulthood but in rare case there have been records of ponies never finding their marks at all.” Explained Annie.
“Ok I’ll have to ask more about that later one last question, what happens now? Not that I’m not grateful but I need to find out who I am, where I’m from, and how I got here but I can’t do it on my own but I don’t want you guys to just keep taking care of me while I try to figure this all out." said William
“For now you need to heal after that we can discuss how you can if you wish to repay us but I don’t want you to worry about that. As to what you do after that I don’t know that’s going to be up to you at that point but I do have some ideas that I will work on tomorrow so until then I think we have asked each other a lot of questions and need to think over the answers we got but me and my wife need to do chores around the farm and Seedling probably has small questions that she like to ask so we will leave her here to talk with you.” Said Forest William nodded in reply. With that the two older ponies left leaving William with Seedling to ask her smaller questions that he tried his best to answer.
A lot of small questions later
Most of what Seedling asked was trivial questions most William had to answer "I don't know." or "I don't think so." since a lot of the questions where about his origins that he couldn't remember but there was one question that unlike the others stuck out.
"Wow, I'm sorry you don't remember I wish I could do something." said Seedling with the saddest face one could imagine on such a cute child.
"Don't be sorry it's not your fault, I'll eventually remember it won't happen strait away but it will happen I can feel it now stop cry OK; I have two questions to ask you." he said starting off sad turning into the happiest voice he could muster.
"What?" she said still crying a bit.
"Will you continue telling me about your day? I really enjoy it feels happy and somewhat familiar to me." he said
"Really, OK!" she shouted
"First off ow that's to load second the other question and this really important OK?" he said she shook her head "Will you be my friend?" The loudest gasp was heard as he prepared for what was next.
"Really Oh my god, Oh my god yes I'll be your friend this is so awesome!" she almost couldn't stop jumping in joy at what she heard he wait for her to calm down.
"Good then why don't you tell me about your day yesterday I have yet to hear what happened."
"OK, well..."
After a while
After Seedlings story of her day and a good meal William prepaid to go to sleep when he heard knocking on the door. "Come in." he said
"Sorry to bother you I hope I didn't wake you." said Forest
"No, I was about to go to sleep before you knocked on the door." William said
"Well I wanted to thank you for what you did for my daughter it made her real happy."
"I'm the one who should be thanking you for all you've done for me and as to my offer to be her friend, how could I not I don't remember much but i know that she as well as you and your wife deserve if not earned my friendship more then anything if not more."
"Still it meant the world to her I can't think of anything that would make her happier then she is right now." said Forester with a grin
"Your welcome. I still want to do more to thank your family and Nurse Sweetheart for all they have done and will do." William said ending it with a yawn.
"Don't worry about it, now tomorrow Sweetheart will stop by to check on your progress so you can thank her then but for now sleep it's been a long day for all and you need sleep if your going to heal." said Forest. William shook his head in agreement letting out a yawn before saying.
"Thanks again for everything."
"Your welcome" with that Forester turned off the lights and left leaving the tired pony to sleep.

"What's happening i-is it working?" said a soft but commanding male voice (will be called Alpha)
"I-I think so, all readings are normal and even matching our estimates almost to a T." said a kind gentle female voice (will be called Beta)
"Good; how do you think we should proceed?" said an almost sickly but generous male voice (will be called Camron)
*Eermp, Eermp, Eermp* went a device
"What is it?" asked Alpha
"There seems to be an anomaly of some sort; perhaps we should shut it down until we are sure it's safe." stated Beta
"That would make sense for all we know it's only appearing to work we have no real clue to as to if this is even doing what we want it to" replied Camron
"No; lets at least try to run one test, we've come too far to not at least try to do that." barked Alpha
"He's right; We should run one test to see what it's doing at least." said Beta uncertainty
"You're being too quiet, what do you think?" said Camron
No voice was heard but the blurred shapes nodded as to say that they were all behind each other's decision.
*Verve, Verve, Verve* went a machine almost as if it was meant to make the noise alone.
*WroW, WroW, WroW, WroW* went the alarms
"What's happening now?" asked Alpha with a thick concern in his voice.
"The portal seems to be collapsing in on it's self; I think I can still stop it if I act quickly though." said Beta in worry
"Then do so and hurry we have no clue what will happen if it collapses." stated a worried Camron
A short but loud zapping or Bizt sound is heard
"It's too late take cover!" shouted Beta
"Ahhhhhhh...!" A forth male voice screamed
"No, Willi....am!" voiced the three
A darkness unlike any is all that can be seen by our mysterious fourth character as he is warped not only to a new place but also in form, he feels his body change it hurts, his mind starts going blank as if to take away his whole shelf away.
...
"Ah, finally done can't wait to go home!" said a male voice
All the sudden a sharp almost electric and lightning sound roared though the air
"What in tarnation was that!" said the voice
"Well, what do we has here?" said the voice
