Now leaving ....

by The Drifting Bard

I crashed into a house and all I got was this lousy T-shirt

Blows to the head are potentially harmful and should not be undertaken lightly. Turn around, sir. Remove your helmet, please. Would twenty minutes unconsciousness be okay?


The smell of tomatoes and other salad-type things wafted through the air. the sounds of a young woman humming away could be heard from the kitchen. "Angel, you'll have to wait, this poor animal needs our help" the set of footsteps was soon followed by another. as she gently stepped towards the room, she heard a quiet mumble.

"Fucking unicorns. 'Ooh, I've got a horn!' So fucking obnoxious. You're just a horse with a party hat, dickhead"

there was an abrupt thud as the creature fell out of the bed. "okay... what just happened?...and...where are my clothes?"


As I picked myself off the floor, I took a tentative look around. Running a hand along my body, I noticed bandages running across my abdomen. wincing slightly in pain, i adjusted myself. I then watched as the door slowly opened.

"ah, your awake" a kind voice radiated from the being before me. I watched as she laid a tray across my knees for a moment. She then gently lifted the bowl "ready?" she gave a warm smile. I raised an arm.

"ehe, that's unnecessary miss....flying...er...pony...." as I took in the Creature's form, I noticed that she indeed had wings, I blinked a couple of times in order to make sure that I wasn't seeing things.

she simply lowered the bowl, and with a brief flutter of her wings, she started to grow slightly skittish. I picked up the bowl in my hands, ignoring the heat. taking a tentative sniff, I took a sip. Letting out a small chuckle, I savored the taste.

"this is really good" She suddenly perked up, then once again found herself by my side. "so what is your name? I can't exactly call you miss all the time"

"Fluttershy" She smiled, then looked at my bandages. "oh my, we should change those bandages"

gingerly covering my bits, i stood up. hearing a very frightened squeak coming from my most gracious host.

I sat back down. "Sorry... I must look like a giant to you" Fluttershy then placed a hoof on my knee, making me look at her.

she gave a slightly worried look. "please, stand... it'll be easier to get the bandages off" I did as she asked as she began to slowly flap her wings. she began to unravel the bandage.

she closed her eyes as if expecting a nasty sight. but what she got was nothing, not even scar tissue. She looked up with confusion. "huh, well... thats never happened before" I sat back down on the bed, then scratched absently at my beard.

Fluttershy's ears suddenly perked up at the sound of knocking on the door. "I...I'll be right back...just stay there...if that's okay with you" I simply chuckled.

Looking over to the window, I saw another Pony, wearing a stetson, standing beside it was a lavender unicorn with a small...Reptile... sitting on her back. As I waited for them to come in, I got an uneasy feeling in the pit of my stomach.

hearing the sets of hooves slowly making their way towards the room, I sighed. The door opened, The Unicorn freaked out for a moment, quickly wrote a letter then disappeared in a shroud of bright light. I looked over to the Stetson wearing pony.

"don't fret none...Thats Twilight being Twilight" She then extended a hoof, Which I gladly shook. "the names AppleJack"

Having never really shaken hands with a human before, she glanced down to the strange appendage grasping her hoof.

Twilight had re-arrived with a notepad and pen. I gave a deep sigh as she began to round off questions.

"okay... yes, no, no, the planet earth circa 2014, omnivorous mostly... um... male as you can clearly see"

Twilight looked up from her notepad for a moment and then turned a deep shade of red as did the others. "could the questions wait until I've at least gotten my clothes back and some grasp on the situation i'm in?" She nodded.
