I opened my eyes to see a wooden ceiling accompanied by beams with beautiful etchings of vines. I looked to my left and saw an I.V. connected to a bag containing a red liquid. I was hungry and had the strange urge to eat some sort of vegetable. When I tried getting out of bed, I felt a sharp pain in my lower abdomen and chest. Bandages were wrapped around my body. Slowly getting up as to not hurt my self, I turned to see a green couch along with a bowl of carrots on it. I reached for the bowl and dug in, downing five of the carrots before hearing a soft voice from behind me.

"Your awake." The voice was obviously female, it had what sounded like lack of self confidence. I turned around quickly surprised to see a yellow and pink blur fly behind the furnace.

"Hello?" I said quietly as to not scare her "Please come out, I promise I won't hurt you." Blue eyes looked out from behind the furnace. I held out a carrot in my hand, hoping to get a better look of who she was.

"Those carrots are angel's." Who was angel? Just then a white blur zipped out from under the couch and snatched the carrot from my hand. He hit hard enough to leave a small cut on my hand.

"Ow." The white blur stopped on the couch and stuck it's tongue out at me. It was a white, fluffy rabbit. It took the carrot and started stuffing it's face. "Hey!"

"Oh no, did my little angel hurt you?" She galloped over to me and took my hand and eyed it closely. She had long pink hair, and had a yellow coat, her cutie mark containing three Pink butterflys. "He's never done that before." She gave a look to angel. "Angel, you need to learn to share." He just stuck his tongue out at her and hopped away. She started wrapping my hand in guaze, too much gauze.

I reached for her hoof. "You don't need to do that." She jumped back, hitting the shelf on the furnace and falling over it, knocking a bucket down to the ground. It clanged on the floor. "Woah, I'm sorry." I slowly got up and went towards the furnace. "I didn't mean to scare you." She was stuck upside down against the wall. Her back hooves hanging in front of her face. Tears were flowing down her face. I grabbed her legs and turned her over, her hair was covering part of her face. "Are you alright?"

She had a little scrape on her left cheek. I moved her hair out of the way and pulled her face about a foot away from mine, eyeing the scrape, she looked down, a blush appearing on her face. "I'm sorry." She said, a tear falling down her face.

"Why are you crying?" I chuckled, grabbing the bandages and putting one on her face. "Am I scaring you?" I pulled back at the thought that I may be scaring her.

"No, you aren't scaring me." She looked down again, rubbing her hoof on the ground. "Iv'e just never dealt with a human before." I jumped up, realization hitting me like a bat to the face. I was supposed to not exist. No one was to know of my existence except the princesses and some parts of the Equestrian Military. All civilians who saw me were to either have their memories wiped or they would be liquidated if they tried to tell anyone. I was breaking the number two rule that I was given. I had to find some way to get out of here.

I grabbed my uniform that was hanging by the door. I was suddenly stopped by a familiar voice. "Good to see that you are up and at it again." I turned around to see the young pegasus, coffee in hoof. Without his armor I could see his black and yellow mane running down his back into a yellow stripe that extended to the back of his flank, through his cutie mark, which was just a microphone. "I see that you have met Fluttershy."

I was surprised to see him even without his armor."Do you realize just how many rules we are breaking right now?" Stepping towards him, I had my hand clenched in a fist. "Do you know what will happen if the Shining Armor hears about this, or worse, Celestia?!"

"Don't worry about it, Fluttershy is a very good friend of mine, she would never tell anyone of our whereabouts, ain't that right, Fluttershy?" I looked behind me at fluttershy who was now laying on the ground, hooves over her ears.

"Yes." She squeaked. I felt bad for her, she probably had no idea what was even happening right now.

"Even so, Celestia knows we're here." I was surprised. Surprised that Celestia let me stay here, especially with a civi. Mic started talking again, taking a sip of coffee. "It was hard getting you back here, I had to lift you on my back, but they never told me how much you weigh." He set his coffee down on the table.

I grabbed the bowl of carrots and sat down, popping another carrot in my mouth. "How far did you carry me?"

"Well," He lifted his hoof to his chin. "I carried you from Winsome Falls and here to Ponyville." I spit out the carrot in my mouth.

"You carried me that far?" I was stunned, he not only lifted a one hundred and ninety pound marine on his back but he also managed to carry my unconscious ass all the way to Ponyville?

"Well, I had a little help." He looked over to Fluttershy, a small smile growing on her face. She got up and slowly moved closer to me.

"You told a civi where we were?" I face palmed, he had broken one of the most important rules in the secret op handbook.

"Well, sort of." He rubbed the back of his head, ruffling his mane. "She was able to meet me 2 miles away from the site, away from all the danger." I shoved another carrot into my mouth, I usually never liked carrots, but these were absolutely delicious.

I sighed, "Well, at least you didn't get her killed." I looked at her, she looked down and rubbed the floor with her hoof.

"It was my pleasure." She said, sitting her flank on the carpet, where my makeshift bed was. "You know, I had a hard time keeping you here. I had to keep you in the living room, I couldn't even have my friends come over to help." She poked her hoof at my blankets. "I fed you, undressed and clothed you."

"Undressed and Clothed?" I looked at my uniform which now lay on the couch. I blushed immediately. "How long was I out?"

"Five weeks." She said, a small smile again creeping onto her face.

"Five weeks?!" I asked, astonished at how long I had been out.

"Yeah, after you obtained those injuries," He pointed his hoof at my chest. "You lost a lot of blood, so we decided to try something, Princess Celestia even approved." I looked at the I.V. that was still in my arm.

"You didn't." I said again, face palming.

"We did," He took another sip of his coffee "we documented every little thing that happened, from your body accepting the blood to even when you went through the process of gaining your cutie mark."

"My Cutie mark?" I was confused, I had heard that only ponies could get Cutie marks. "Well where is it?" He pointed at my Hip. I pulled open the band in my pants and looked down, right there was a picture of a skull with a beret along with crossbones. I felt down and rubbed it. I had never gotten any tattoos, my mother would turn in her grave if I ever got one."Holy Shit."

"We don't exactly know what that means, because well, nopony has ever gotten a cutie mark like that." He pulled out a file, with my name on it. "Here you can look at the file, It documents the whole experience."

"Ill look at it later, we have to get back-" I whinced in pain as I tried getting up. My bandages started bleeding again.

"You aren't going anywhere." He said, eyeing my bandages. "Celestia even told me that you need to get completely healed before you can do anything." He was right, I needed to heal before the last assignment. Wait, the healing spell.

"What about that healing spell that Celestia knows?" Both Fluttershy and Mic gave me a puzzled look. "Now that I have a cutie mark, that means that Equestrian magic could possibly affect me, right?" Mic brought his hoof to his chin.

"Maybe, but she can't come down here till spring." He said giving me a little shrug.

"What? Why not?" I looked around for a window, all the curtains were drawn. I grabbed one of the curtains and moved it. I saw snow as far as the eye could see. "Dammit. When will all this be over with?" I asked, closing the curtain.

"Thirteen weeks." He grabbed the file and put it back.

"Are you kidding me? I have to wait Ten weeks in the cold?" I was not ready for cold weather, my gear only consisted of gear that was needed for the climate in Iraq. "How am I supposed to keep from freezing my ass off?" I said, crossing my arms.

"Oh yeah, thanks for reminding me, Princess Celestia had some of this cooked up." He pulled out a small vile of orange liquid and handed it to me. "This is a potion that is primarily used to keep the user at a comfortable temperature."

I eyed the vile and then put it down. "I'm gonna save this for when I get better." I had to heal up first, what was the use of wasting a good potion if you can't even use it?

"Hey, what are you going to do while I'm out of commission?" I asked, sitting back down and putting the last carrot in my mouth, setting the bowl aside.

"Princess Celestia has called me back to Canterlot for a debriefing, she wants to debrief you but only after you get back." He grabbed a saddle bag off the ground and headed to the door.

"Wait what if other ponies see me." I was concerned that me being here would jeopardize my mission.

"You will be fine. Celestia has promised both you and I that she will wipe the minds of everyone in Ponyville except us three." That's a relief. I was afraid that the mission was in jeopardy. I would hate to have kill innocent ponies.

"Um, you will have to stay with me- if thats alright?" Said a quiet Fluttershy who had wrapped herself in my blankets.

"Uh, sure no problem." I was starting to feel cold. "Hey, um." She looked up at me, those blue eyes staring deep into my soul. "Can I have my blanket back please?" I noticed my self getting quieter as I looked into her eyes. I quickly looked away as to make things less awkward then they already were.

"Riiiiggghhhhttt, well then," Mic Cobalt was looking at us, an awkward smile on his face. "I'm just gonna head back to Canterlot, you two have fun." Mic Cobalt then left leaving the two of us alone.

Yeah, have fun.
