Load Full StoryNext ChapterAuthor's Note
So this is a story I have been writing for a bit and I am pretty nervous to finally try sharing the silly things I have written on my computer. I have had trouble with structure and such in the past with writing in general. So I am really trying to re-read and revise everything before I post.
Please feedback is very appreciated. I might be a bit to nervous for my own good here ![]()
Act 1 - Well You'd Be a Bit Grumpy To
A flash of rainbow light broke open the sky, and for the first time it wasn’t Rainbow’s fault. With a loud crash a bipedal creature was lodged hard into the ground. Pulling himself out with a grunt and a fair amount of blood dripping from his head. He gives a good shake of his head he turns toward the sky and begins to shout.
“Finally! I am home!” Before giving a good laugh as laying on his back.
As he finished his shout a little pink pony popped next to him and asked “Who are you talking to?” in a voice so bubbly the human was astounded such happiness could come from a voice.
“Well, to..” then he stopped and tried to think for a moment and realized he had no clue who he was supposed to be talking to. The human looked around to see nearly a dozen colorful horse creatures starring. Directly. At. Him.
“Uhh, I don’t know” he finally managed to respond, sounding rather nervous. However, with all these eyes on him he began to feel very worried. “This isn’t earth is it?”
“No silly, you’re in Equestria. Also, do you know Non? And OH you’re bleeding! OMIGOSHLEMMEGETSOMEPONYTHATCANHELP!” and then disappeared almost instantly. Leaving the poor human there, confused.
‘This cute little bouncy.. yes that’s right she’s bouncing now. Do horses bounce here? They talk to apparently. Well anyway she just talked to me, what the hell horses talk here. Definitely not earth.’
Confused about a lot, and deciding to not be in a crater anymore he goes to stand up and is greeted by a quick shot of pain. ‘Ah, that’s not how legs work’ is the only thing he can think as he falls on his face for the second time today, but this time he falls unconscious.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“Another Human, Non will be so excited!”
“Ah I don’t know about that. Not if he just up and dies as soon as he gets here.”
“He’s going to live, for falling out of the sky like he did he’s surprisingly not hurt……. aside from the head and leg of course.”.
The human opens his eyes to see four mares, all of them still talking among themselves.
“You know it’s rude to talk about people like that.” The Human sputtered out. He started to sit up, his body feeling heavier than it should as he shoved a pillow behind his back to prop himself up.
The mares moved their attention from each other one to the human, who was having quite a bit of trouble in the small bed. The purple one started in first, with a barrage of questions.
“Oh thank goodness your awake, how did you get here? Can you go back? Non’s been stuck here for so long and he has told me so much about humans I’d really like to be able to see more of the technology he’s told me about and-“ she was stopped by an orange hoof in her mouth.
“Now Twilight, maybe we should start with introductions?” The orange pony said in a thick country accent.
The human responded by grunting and with a twisted frown on his face he was more concerned with getting some water down his parched throat. “Water first.” the human said trying to deal with the bright lights.
“Oh sure!” The purple one said as a glass seemed to be floated into the human’s hand. As he drank and got his vision back the purple pony started to introduce each of her friends. Pointing to each one as she did.
“This is Applejack, she helped move you here.”
“This is Pinkie Pie, you’ve kinda met”
“This is Rainbow Dash.”
“And my name is Twilight Sparkle”said the Purple mare as she pointed to herself.
The humans only response was to frown, as he tried to commit these ridiculous names to memory in some way.
“So this isn’t Earth!” He said with annoyance, falling back into the pillow. “Dammit, why I was supposed to go to earth after I ...” then a rather odd feeling overtook the human, having a hard time reasoning why he should share anyhting with these creatures.
“Uhh, you okay there sugarcube?” Applejack waved a hoof over the humans face bringing him back from his thoughts.
“Don’t call me sugarcube, that’s weird.” The human said as he looked over himself seeing if anything else was broken or harmed, only to see a cast on his leg and some other wraps for his cut's. “I have no clue where I am, or why I am even off earth in the first place. Or why I am now talking to a horse”
The mares recoiled at the use of that word. “Don’t call us Whorse’s, That word isn’t appropriate.” Twilight explained. “Non made that mistake too, just say pony. And you still haven’t told us your name.”
“Leo, call me Leo” he said proud that he could still remember his name, although he still felt odd, like his brain was fuzzy. Noticing where he was for the first time he was in a hospital but as if everything was made for midgets. He ran his hands through his long hair it was shoulder length and a light brown color. Messing it and scratching his scalp to try and reduce that fuzzy feeling. And scratch at the bandages they had managed to wrap over his cuts.
But at that moment the hospital door practically busted open as another human with a wild look on his face ran in and the sounds of pony's yelling at him to not run. “Oh my god.” The human said under his breath.
Rainbow Dash rushed over to human, “Don’t get your hopes up big guy. He doesn’t know how he got here.” The room recent addition tussled the rainbow colored main with a frown “Dammit, guess you’re all stuck with me for a while longer.”
Leo’s fuzzy head was working its way through a lot at the moment but luckily was able to put enough together. He was one of two humans in a ponyland. With no way out.
“So I am stuck here.” Leo said defeated, Laying back into the hospital bed.
“Oh don’t look so sad!” Pinkie said pushing on the edge of the bed. “We get throw a welcome party for ANOTHER human! Oh the HUMANITY!” She all but shouted with a smile that honestly looked like it hurt.
“Then we all be the best-est of friends and make cakes and cookies and!” She was cut short by the purple aura that surrounded her and pulled her back. As Twilight walked to the edge of the bed.
“I know it’s a lot to take in but as far as we know there is zero way for us to bring you back to your world. We had looked into it for Non, but found nothing.” She said trying to be sympathetic, “But we will all do what we can and be as good as friends as possible to help you adjust.”
As Leo looked around to the mares in the room they all gave him light smiles, as did Non. “Do I look like I want friends?” Leo said with a bit more venom in his words then he intended. “I don’t like any of this, this is nuts. Why are you all so damn calm?” The distraught look on the previously happy mares only deepened as he went on. “I don’t know why your so chipper. Especially you, we're stuck here in colorful horse hell?” His finger pointing straight at Non.
Rainbow Dash placed herself in front of Non as if to protect him. Then shouted “Non isn’t in a whorse hell!.”
“And if I am in hell, I am so happy I don’t care.” Non added in only to receive some pouting faces from the mares in the room. Except for Dash who decided Non had earned a nuzzle for his comment.
Leo started to calmed down a bit, realizing that if they wanted to hurt him they would have already. He was unconscious after all. Seeing how the only other human in the room was practically holding Dash Leo turned to Twilight and asked “Is being that affectionate to each other a thing here? Cause I don’t really do that.” Leo asked Twilight as Rainbow continued to nuzzle Non.
“Well they ARE dating” Twilight says with a little giggle. The look of disgust on Leo’s face ended that giggle.
“Thats...” Was all Leo could say before the only noise he could manage in his confusion and frustration was a low grumble. He didn’t want just keep being an ass but this human had resorted to horse fucking. ‘I mean every man has needs but, gross. Oh god is that going to be a thing here, am I going to.. no.’ was what Leo wanted to say. But he bit his tongue, and said instead. “Adjusting to life here is going to be... really.... difficult.”
