A Clean Slate

I awoke to a dull beeping, to which I guessed was a heart monitor, and upon opening my eyes I noticed that my head had been bandaged. Most likely from the fall I took earlier. As I went to try and remove it I found my limbs to be either tied down, in casts, or I had been given a numbing agent. I grunted as I realized I would have to wait until someone came in to check on me. Just then I heard the click of a door opening and closing.

"Uhh, hello? Is that a nurse or a doctor? I can't move my arms or legs could you please tell what's going on?" I called to whoever was there.

"Oh! You're awake, that's a relief. You've been out of it for three days. You suffered severe bruising and minor cuts, which is why we have your head bandaged and limbs bound. By the way my name is Nusre Tenderheart. Nurse Redheart and I will be the ones taking care of you." The nurse replied.

"Thank you and if it isn't too much trouble could you remove the bandage from my head? I wanna be able to see around the room." I asked.

"Certainly," Tenderheart began, "Y'know when Miss Fluttershy brought you in we didn't know what to make of you. She just said that you had fallen through her roof while she was making lunch for her animals."

As she finished removing the bandage from my head my vision slowly adjusted to the searing lights above me and I could start to make the out line on the nurse.

"Fluttershy huh? Sounds like she was a flowerchild from the 70's." I said as I thought back to the posters and musicians I had seen from that era.

As my vision came back fully I turned me head to the nurse and immediately thought I was have a bad trip from the pills I thought they would've given me. Seriously, another horse, a white one this time.

"Woah, how strong are these pills you gave me?!" I asked pretty startled.

"What do you mean?" She asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Well, whatever you gave me must be some strong shit. It's making me hallucinate, you look like a talking tiny horse" I said with a chuckle.

"Um, we didn't give you any pills or any other form of medication. Your injuries were minor except for the pretty deep cut on your forehead, and you're correct, I am a talking tiny horse or pony to be exact." She said in a matter of fact tone.

I thought about this for a moment. If I wasn't hallucinating these ponies talking to me and I'm pretty sure I'm not crazy then that must mean The Tesla Collider had worked. I'm on a different planet, maybe even a different galaxy. Time to find out I guess.

"Nurse? Where is this place that I am? Like what planet and country is this?" I asked in an anxious tone as I started to sweat.

"The name of this planet is Equinicus and the country you're currently in is Equestria and you're in the Ponyville Hospital. Wait a minute, are you telling me that you're from a different planet?" She asked with wide eyes.

"Well I guess so, I'm from the planet Earth. I was born in a small city in Florida which is in the country called North America. And as for how I ended up here, my best guess would be that the machine myself and five other colleagues were working on must've sent me he when I caused it to malfunction. It was meant to make space travel much easier and I guess it worked as you can plainly see." I replied, a little shaken up from this situation.

"Wow that's amazing! I'll bet the Princesses will want to meet you as quick as possible. I'll send for them as soon as I check you out to see if you're able to move easily without hurting yourself." Tenderheart said as she began to move closer to my bed.

Just then, the door burst open and two ponies in full sets of armor came in, followed by a large white horse and a slightly smaller dark blue horse came in behind this white one. They were both staring at me intently, unsure of what to make of me. I took a minute to notice that they both had long horns coming from their foreheads and wing form their shoulders.

"Good afternoon, I am Princess Cel-" The white one began, but was cut off by the blue one.

"Who are you and why have you come to out kingdom?! Where are you from?! Are you here to try and destroy us?!" The blue one began to shout questions at me.

"Luna, sister please stop this at once! We have no need to be hostile towards this.. uhhh, creature. He may be here by complete accident so would you please stop shouting so we may find out information without terrifying him." This white on interjected to stop Luna from deafening me.

"I am sorry Celestia, and to you sir, it is just you are the first creature we have ever seen that looks like you and I was anxious to know more about you." Luna said.

"Well, that's alright, if a creature or person came to my kingdom that no one had ever seen before I would've probably reacted in the same way." I said.

The two princesses motion for Nurse Tenderheart to come out into the hallway to speak with them. The two guards were left to watch me. I heard muffled voices, but none were clear enough to understand what they were talking about. After about five minutes I decided to try and talk to the guards to find out whatever I could. This proved to be a failed attempt as they glared at me, grunted, and shifted their weight around and looked straight out the window in from of them, while ignoring me. A couple minutes later the nurse and princesses came back into the room. Nurse Tenderheart began checking me out to see if I could move without hurting myself. When she determined I was well enough for activity she undid the monitoring machines and released the straps that were previously binding my limbs.

I sat up and began to stretch out every part of my body. Satisfying pops and cracks from my joints cause me to sigh in happiness. I turned me body to the right and stood up. Upon doing this I found that I was just about as tall as Celestia and about six or eight inches taller than Luna. I then reached down to grab my feet to stretch my muscles out so I wouldn't be stiff when I was walking. Just then my ankles and wrists were pulled together by some force and upon looking down I saw a faint pink aura surrounding them.

"We are doing this just as a precaution. You are not under arrest, I just don't want to take any chances with the safety of My Little Ponies." Celestia said with an apologetic look in her eyes.

"That is completely understandable." I replied.

I was then led outside to a large carriage and we got in and made ourselves comfortable. What I thought was going to be a long trip to wherever we were going turned out to be about an hour FLIGHT. 'What the hell?' I thought to myself as we landed in front of a huge castle, but not your generic grey stone castle form the middle ages, but a great and beautiful one that look very welcoming. We got off and I was led up the stairs to this palace by the princesses while being followed by the two guards form the hospital. We made our way to a large room with a fittingly large table. This room was more than likely used for meetings. 'Time to answer some questions'. I thought to myself.

The next several hours were spent with me sitting in front of the two princesses answering every type of question possible. Ranging from where I was form to what kind of wildlife there was. Who ruled my planet, the dominant species there. The many different types of technology there. How we got around fast with no wings and how we did difficult tasks without magic and more. By the end of if all i thought I was going to lose my voice form so much talking and explaining. It was getting late and it was apparently time for dinner. Upon hearing dinner my stomach growled like a pissed off lion who just got fucked in the ass.

As we made our way to the dining hall I kept getting weird looks from all the ponies we passed. I wanted to make faces at them just to see their reaction, but decided against it because of the two spear toting guards behind me. I had some questions of my own and decided i would ask them at dinner. We made it to the hall and sat down and almost immediately some of the best smelling food came out. Tray after tray of food was set across the table by the now apparent unicorns I had come to find out they were called. They tops of the trays were lifted and the scent's power increases ten fold. I look around and without thinking I opened my mouth to speak.

"Do you guys have anything like prime rib, or steak? Or pot roast or chicken?" I asked glancing around that table.

A plethora of of gasps and quiet murmurs filled the room. I caught 'meat eater', 'carnivore', and 'oh no, he's going to eat us' from the servants. just then within a matter of seconds there were a dozen spears aimed at my throat. I was probably whiter than Celestia and my underwear was probably yellower than Fluttershy's. The princesses looked at me with both disgust and quizzical expressions.

"Do you only eat meat where you're from? Are you a killer or a cannibal?" Celestia asked as she motioned for the guards to lower their weapons.

"N-no, we're omnivores, we eat just about everything, we don't need meat to survive. And no, I'm not a killer or cannibal. I just opened my mouth without thinking and I apologize." I replied frozen in terror.

"Very well, I am sorry for the reaction we gave you, but I hope what we have provided will be to your liking." Celestia said.

And boy was it! I didn't think you could make soup this rich and flavorful. I swear I went Goku on these bowls. I glanced up every now and then and saw the other ponies staring at me dumbstruck. Hey, I hadn't eaten in three days give me a break! I must've cleaned seven or eight bowls. After we all finished and the dishes were cleared we continued conversing for a while longer. I asked how they knew I was there and who told them that quickly. They told me that as soon as Flutterhsy brought me to the hospital she met with all her friends and told them about me. Twilight Sparkle, who was apparently Celestia's personal student, had written a letter telling the Celestia of the situation and then the events that followed are easy to get and now here we are reviewing what happened.

I was told that the Elements of Harmony were going to be the ones keeping watch on me while I stayed in Ponyville. I was to be presented to the public of Canterlot tomorrow and then Ponyville the day after. We finished our talk and I was led down a hallway to where I would be staying for the night, sans guards for once. Although there would be two guards posted outside my room for safety. As I entered the room I nearly shat a brick. It was huge! It was even bigger than my whole entire apartment back home, maybe even my childhood home. I was expecting to get a small bedroom to sleep in, but this is extreme. I just stared around the room in awe thinking about what could be done here. A giant bed that could easily fit about six of me with enough room to roll around in my sleep was in the middle of the room. A large desk was next to the 20 foot tall window that was overlooking the city. I couldn't help but admire the expert craftsmanship of it. There was also a grand piano on the opposite end of the room and what I guessed to be a closet on the left of it and a bathroom on the right. I decided that if I had enough time before the presentation tomorrow that I would check it out, but for now? Sleep was all that was on my mind.

I got out of my clothes except for my boxer briefs and slid into the bed and within a minute or two i was out. I woke up to the sun shining in through the window and the sound of the city below me. I sat up and looked around. This room was even more extravagant in the light. I got up and notice that sometime earlier my clothes had been taken, cleaned, and pressed for me as the were no longer a wrinkled mess on the floor. I also noticed that there was a new pair of boxer briefs under them. I couldn't help but wonder how they made those for me. I brought them into the bathroom to change after my shower. I entered the room and noticed that everything was the same as bathrooms on Earth. Except everything was a little bit smaller to accommodate the ponies, who I estimated were around an average of about four feet tall save for the princesses of course. I finished showering and made my way out the door when I was greeted by two guards who tole me to follow them. I was led to the dining hall where the princesses were eating breakfast. I joined them and we had a pleasant conversation. When we finished the princesses agreed it was time to show me off. Well here we go.
