Tugging On The Heartstrings

The black pegasus from the court room escorted me back to my room. He didn’t say anything and I could see he kept sneaking peeks at me with his deep, purple eyes. He was strange compared to the rest of the ponies I had seen today. He didn’t seem to be as friendly, he certainly wasn’t talkative, and he was the darkest shade of black I had seen in the colorful world of Equestria.

We walked in silence until we had gotten back to my room and then Tunestorm decided to talk.

“If you don’t feel comfortable, just call me. I won’t be far.”

“I’ll keep that in mind.”

“Once you are granted permission to leave the castle you will be fine. In the mean time, you should rest a little and maybe take a shower. No offense, you seem a bit battered from your fall.” And with that, Tunestorm left me alone in my room. I decided he was right, so I slept for a little.

I woke up about an hour after I fell asleep. That was when I noticed my greasy brown hair. I got up and walked into the bathroom. It was made out of the same stone my room was. The only difference was that the bathroom ceiling was about a foot taller. I stripped down and turned on the water. The warm water was amazing, much better than my old shower back in my world where all I got felt like ice.

I noticed that somepony had been courteous enough to supply my shower with soap and shampoo. They had a familiar, minty scent to them, but it helped to wash all of the dirt off of my body and out of my hair.

I turned off the shower just in time to hear footsteps out of the bathroom door. I decided I would be polite and wait for whoever it was to leave before I left the bathroom. The door closed with a slam. I grabbed a towel and wrapped it around my waist. I poked my head out of the bathroom door to make sure the pony had left. Nopony was there, or so I thought. I walked over to the bed and noticed my briefcase had been returned to me. I opened it to see If I could find anything that could possibly help me get back home from this crazy horse land.

“What are you looking for?” The question made me jump and drop the towel. I turned around to see the minty unicorn sitting in the corner (sitting like a human, I should mention) I couldn’t check from behind the door. She sat there completely unfazed by the sight of a naked human. I grabbed the towel and wrapped myself up again.

“What are you doing here?” I asked.

“I should ask you the same thing. A human in Equestria with nothing to explain why, it all seems very strange doesn’t it?”
The answer was a little obvious. “Well no crap it’s strange! Wait how do you know what species I am when nobod- excuse me, nopony has even heard of humans?”

The unicorn shook her head, “You aren’t the first human to crash here.”

“I’m not?”

“Of course not!” The unicorn said with a small giggle, but stopped when there was a knock at the door.

“Hey you alright in there, Dave?” It was Tunestorm.

I looked over at the door, “Yeah, I’m fine.”

“Is there somepony in there?”

I looked back to find that the unicorn was gone. “Uh. No, nopony is in here.”
