My eye lids wearily open to the sun setting. I looked around to see where I was it looked a forest. My hand felt wet when I turned too look and saw a river. 'Must have washed up here in the forest after jumping.' I thought while lifting my body up to see farther. I decided to follow along the river bank and make sure anything that would be ruined by the water was safe.

1 Hour later

It's been about an hour now since I awoke. As I was making my way along the bank line I saw a small hill with what looked like houses passed the hill. Right as I got out of the tree line I spotted three ponies before i could see who they were I heard what they said. "A monster, a monster. The horror, the horror." The three ponies yelled in unison falling to the ground.

"Oh hell no not those ponies." I said I turned to go back into the everfree then I heard somebody behind me.

"Stop right there evil fiend I Rainbow Dash will defeat you." Skittles (rainbow dash) said still boasting about this and that.

"Hey Skittles sorry to burst your bubble but I got more important things to do." I interrupted.

"What did you call me?!" She yelled I ignored her and went back into the everfree as I walking she sped after me using her wings to gain speed. As I walked I dropped to the ground when I looked up I saw Rainbow Dash going head first into a tree probably leaving her with a concussion and preceded to fall into the now (somehow) raging water. I got up but when I did I noticed she wasn't coming back up but when she did she was having trouble keeping herself above water.

Without a second thought I jumped in after her trying to get a hold of her but she kept squirming. After a few seconds I finally grabbed her and swam for the ledge. I threw her over onto land and laid her on her back I checked to see if she was breathing, fortunately, she was but slowly. I went through all of the steps of CPR it took a bit but after I finally pulled up from the mouth-to-mouth step when she coughed up some water.

"Hey, are you ok." I said with concern. Then I felt a rope go around my waist and arms.

"Let go of her you varmint." Said Applejack while she tied me to a tree.

"Seriously." I deadpanned. The farmer ignored me while going over to her friend who was righting herself into a standing position. I tuned them out because of there auguring of me being good or not.

{They don't appreciate you, why don't kill them}

"Great i'm going crazy."

{You were crazy before I got here}

"Touche but who are you and why are you in my head."

{Talk in your head and not out loud, so the ponies are not looking at you like you're an idiot.}

I gave the two ponies a sheepish smile.

"Fine Rainbow but we take him to Twilights first." Applejack said I tried to get what Rainbow said then my hearing and vision was going out. I looked down and noticed some of my wound had opened. The ponies looked at me worriedly I think before I passed out I said one last thing.

"I hate hospitals."

John's Pov.

The first thing I felt when coming to is that i felt pain and a lot of poking.

"To sleep out here is most unwise, come with me so you can unwind." Someone said rhyming words together.

I opened my eyes and saw that it was.. Zecora? "Uh... Sorry what did you say?"

Zecora looked at me with a small frown but soon smiled. "Follow me to my abode there you can unload."

Thinking for a second I responded. "I would love to but I need to find my friend. He shouldn't be to far... Hopefully." I said already feeling tired.

"Then let's go to town surely then you won't frown." Zecora told me. 'What does frowning have to do with anything?' I thought to myself.

"Alright let's go lead the way I'll be right behind you." I said standing up and following after the zebra. "So... What's your name?" I asked playing it off like I didn't know.

"Forgive me my names Zecora what about you I've never seen you in for as long as I've been here." She said keeping her eyes forward.

"Names John and I'm a human or homo-sapiens if you want to get technical." I replied outing my hands in my pockets.

"I see well then where to you hail from on Equis?" Zecora questioned

"I don't I'm from a different universe I believe." I yawned as she stopped and looked at me.

"What?" She asked.

'Here we go time fore a game a twenty questions.' I mentally sighed. "Okay well I'm from a different planet. So I guess I'm considered an alien but that sounds cliche. So you as me a question I'll try my best to answer." We walked near a tree looking house with tribal masks here and there.

"We will continue inside beside outside is not wise." Zecora told me as we walked inside and gestured for me to sit down.

"All right let's begin." I told her with a yawn.
