Ponyville General Hospital.
10:18 A.M.
Joseph awoke with a cry of alarm. Looking around he saw that was in a hospital and sighed.
"Thank god that horrible dream is over." He looked around again and his brain stalled. Sleeping all huddled together on the other side of the room was a group of ponies he was very familiar with.
"Oh shit." Was all he could think to say at the cute mountain of pony in his room. One of them stirred which caused Joseph to tense up. "Shit. It's pinkie pie." He held his breath as she snuggled deeper into the pony pile and lay there. Joseph let out his breath and looked over his body.
"Great they stole my clothe's." He noted as he was wearing a hospital gown. Another look told him that his clothes were hung up in a cabinet. "Just have to get out of this bed, grab my clothes, then find out just what the hell is going on here." His plan in mind he went about setting it into motion. He got one foot out of the bed before the door opening stopped him in his tracks.
"Hello everypony." The voice sang out as it entered the room and stopped when she laid eyes on Joseph attempting to escape. Celestia just smiled gave out a chuckled and closed the door behind her as she set down a box full of food at a table in the middle of the room.
"So I see you are awake little one." She said as the small group began to stir.
"Princess." Joseph squeaked as he slowly pulled his leg back into the bed. She gave him a soft smile. "Muffin?" she offered him one levitating in her magic. He stared at it then back to her before grasping it and inspecting it.
"I can assure you it is quite fine for you to eat." One of the ponies yawned and began to dislodge themselves from the pile.
"Princess!" Came the voice of Twilight Sparkle herself. Careful to not step on any of her friends she trotted over to her mentor and the two shared a hug.
"Twilight. How is everypony?" She asked looking over at the group still waking up. Twilight looked and laughed.
"Well, the past two day's have been exhausting for all of us." She stated taking a muffin from the box and popping it into her mouth.
"Mmn that hit the spot." She then looked over to Joseph who stopped his munching and stared back at her.
"Um hello." He said feeling his face heat up. Twilight just giggled and held up a hoof. "You and I need to talk." She stated causing Joseph to stiffen.
"What about?" He asked feeling so out of the loop. She just chuckled. "Everything!" Joseph just groaned an gave Celestia what he hoped was a look of pleading. Celestia must have got the message because she cleared her throat getting the young alicorns attention.
"Twilight as much as I would love to know all about our new," She waved a hoof. "Friend here." She gave Joseph a soft smile.
"We really should let him get his bearing's first." She stated as Twilight thought about it. She sighed and put away her quill and notepad. "Where the hell did those come from?" Twilight's horn lit up and the two items winked out of existence.
"Ok." She then rounded on Joseph. "But you only get a few day's." She said lifting a hoof to her eye's then pointing to him.
"Got it." He said feeling very insecure now. The door to his room opened once more and in came the rest of the royal family.
"Ah, so the great beast awakens!" Luna said causing Joseph to smirk in nervous excitement.
"What?" He asked feeling very out of place. Cadance rolled her eye's. "Auntie how many time's must I tell you he's not a beast." She said giving him a soft smile, to which he to smiled. Luna just scoffed.
"Nonsense dear niece. Humans have alway's been ferocious." She said standing tall and imposing. Then in a flash of blue light, Luna was clad head to hoof in armor and now held a halberd in her magical grasp.
"Now dear naive tell us what you are here for!" She demanded pointing the weapon at Joseph who backpedaled in his bead almost tipping it over.
"Wow! Princess Luna please!" He begged trying to become one with his pillow. "I don't know what you mean!" He stated eye's wide with fear. "How had this all come to this?" He wandered while Celestia continued to eat her muffin. Cadance edged over to her.
"Are you going to stop this?" she asked feeling very concerned for there guest. Celestia just gave a sly smile.
"Nope." She let the grilling continue.
"So tell me, dear human, how is it you know of us?" By this time all of the noise had awoken the other ponies present and they were all looking at the interrogation with mixed feeling's. Rainbow Dash, Applejack, and Twilight wanted answer's, Rarity and Fluttershy were looking nervous and Pinkie was excited.
"Ok! OK! I'll talk! Just please put the halberd down." He bagged Luna who thought about his request.
"Very well." It disappeared in a flash. "But if we are not satisfied with your answer's your tongue shall adorn our wall!" She smiled viciously as Joseph paled at the very thought.
"Noted." He said looking around at the gathered group. They were all curious about there alien visitor and now they were going to get some answers. Until Celestia stepped in.
"Dear sister I must verly rain on thine parade." She said stretching out and touching the ceiling with the primaries of her wings. Luna groaned.
"Why sister?" Celestia giggled. "Because dear Luna. Twilight here wanted to ask him question's until she was blue in the face and I gave her the same answer I tell you." She pointed to Joseph. "The poor dear has been through much in the past few day's and he needs his rest." She laid a hoof on Luna's back. "Just give him a few day's to rest, recover and recuperate from his ordeal. Then we can all begin our questioning." She gave Joseph a slight wink. "For now let us all just sit back and be thankful we got to the two of them in time."
"Wait? Two?" Joseph asked feeling very confused. Cadance lit up.
"That's right!" She said running out of the room. Joseph was confused. "What happened while I was out?" The group minus Celestia, all looked at him with contempt. Getting the message he snorted. "Ok fine. You all get one question." He sighed as they all got excited looks on there face. Celestia smirked as her sister to got excited and trotted over to the bed to learn about their newest resident.
10:25 A.M.
"So let me get this straight." Twilight scribbled down notes as she went. "You're saying that your dimension has a way of tunneling through other's and viewing what's on the other side?" She felt so ecstatic. "The possibility's are fascinating." She continued to jot down notes as the other all had their questions asked and answered.
"What's your name?"
"What kind of food do you eat?"
"Are you an omnivore or a carnivore?"
"What's the fastest thing on your planet?"
"Do you have magic were you come from?"
With there curiosity piqued and there, questions answered the group dwindled as they each went to go and take care of there individual lives. A few stayed but eventually, the royal family had to go. Celestia had bid Joseph farewell as she, Luna, and Cadance all went to leave. Just as they got to the door Cadance was stopped as Joseph called out to her.
"Hey, Cadance?" He asked causing her to turn around.
"Yes?" She asked. He nodded to the door.
"So where'd you go earlier?" He asked wondering what had gotten her so riled up. Her eyes went wide.
"Oh, that's right." She said as her horn lit up. A soft flash radiated throughout the room and an instant later Cadance was holding a little foal in her magic.
"Ahh." Joseph looked on as the baby was brought closer to him.
"We found this little guy up in the tower." She stated as Joseph tentatively held out his hand's. "May I?" He asked. Cadance giggled and hoofed him over.
"Sure." She smiled as Joseph cradled the baby in his arm's. The foal didn't stir sleeping peacefully as Joseph got a look at his features. The foal was a stunning white with nary a blemish to be seen. His main, what little of it he had. was a contrasting black and when the little one opened his eye's Joseph was met with a pair of crimson orbs that looked absolutely stunning.
"Wow." He said handing the baby back to Cadance. She cradled the little one a little more before he went back to sleep. With a flare of her horn, the baby was sent back to the maternity ward. Joseph just smiled.
"Wow. So while I was stuck in the dungeons that little guy was living it up in the tower?" He chuckled but then frowned.
"Just what in the hell happened back there?" He wondered out loud. Cadance trotted over to him and put a hoof on his shoulder giving him a reassuring smile.
"Don't worry Joseph." She let go of his shoulder and trotted around to his bedside table. "We'll find out what dragged you two here." She levitated his glasses back to his face. He thanked her and then with a smile and a nod Cadance to left. Now it was just Joseph and Dash. As soon as Cadance left Dash flew over to Joseph's bed.
"Just so we're clear." She pointed a hoof at him. "I've got my eye on you." She scowled. "I still don't trust you so watch yourself." She stated while flying over to the door and exiting his room. He just sighed.
"Oh boy. This is going to be fun." His sarcasm did little to lift his mood.
