A fall

I’m not sure what happened before, but i remember waking up, and the blinding pain that ripped through my body, it was like my muscles were being ripped apart but there was an underlying feeling like you get after a good workout that nice ache that your body tells you, you did good, but pain...so much pain, i started to scream but after just one exhale i could taste iron and my vision started to go black, the last thing i remember is a voice ”oh my?” i think it said.

Waking up sucks sometimes, i happen to have a terrible record for waking up, but that’s probably because i suck at falling asleep, i have a strange problem of almost always only being able to fall asleep when i’m exhausted, almost no ability to sleep by my own will, so waking up with almost no knowledge of falling asleep is no new thing to me.

I don’t fall asleep in strange places very often but i don’t remember this room at all, it was strange almost medieval in design, heavy wood beam ceiling and walls with what looked like adobe plaster and the colours were bright, yellows, blues, greens and many multitudes of hues the place was almost cartoonish.

The next thing I noticed and this came as a shock was I seemed to be head to toe in bandages, mostly clean white but a few areas showed signs of weeping underneath, and as I bent to look over myself I was wracked with pain, sitting up would be impossible for the meantime. At least for how I felt? I seemed to be whole, no missing limbs or such, that was good news. So there I lay on a very soft cover or perhaps cushions on the floor next to what looked like a smallish daybed. I was comfortable as long as i didnt move too much.

But what the hell happened to me? When i tried to think back all i get is fuzz and haze, then it struck me maybe id lost my memory? This made me think of my name first off, Samuel Arrow, came to me easy as pie, ok so not an amnesiac right? But still what don’t you remember till you try?
Ah well I seem to be good so let’s push that bad thought away for later….

As I lay there day dreaming I hear a strange clip clopping sound coming from the roof which made me notice the stairs on the wall leading up, it sounds like some people wearing high heels moving toward the stairs, finally I get to see who helped me I guess? And i can ask why I’m not in a hospital.

As I waited for the people to descend the stairs I finally saw who it was, ...Eh? Was all i could think as my mind hiccuped, a strangely shaped horse was coming down the stairs with a small basket in its mouth, ...Eh? The horse turned its head and saw i was looking its way, a sharp intake of breath came from the horse almost like it was startled to see me looking at it, the horse kinda reminded me of a poison tree frog it had strange colourings it was a rich butter yellow with a mellow bubblegum pink mane and large startling bluish green eyes that seemed to shine with intelligence.

It walked beside me and placed the basket near my side and looked straight in to my eyes, i have to admit it was a little intimidating even though this horse was only about 3 and a half feet tall. The horse looked me in the eye like it was searching for something, I had no doubt there and then this creature was intelligent.

After a few seconds it spoke “ how are you? ” i realised that this horse was a female and i only say that from the tone of voice but now looking, she has a very feminin look to her, i think i must have made a strange face when she spoke to me as she backed off and seemed to shrink behind her mane making a quiet “eep” sound, at that moment i’m pretty sure i blacked out because i remember waking up.

It was dark behind my eyelids as i came to, either the sun has set and there are no lights on, i was blindfolded or i was blind, but before i was able to test any of these i picked up on people talking.

“Are you sure its safe?”came a almost authoritative tone.

“Apart from the fact he is badly injured, im not sure it can move on its own” came that soft voice from earlier.

“Fine but im going to leave a restricting spell on it”

“Him” came the soft voice quickly but calmly.

“How can you tell? I guess It does have some resemblance to male minotaur physiology” came the voice questionably.

“I had to bandage up a good deal of his body so I.... kinda... saw everything” came the soft voice getting quieter as she spoke.

“Really? Can you give me details?” came the voice with a strange twinkling buzzing sound, “better yet can you show me?”

I heard what sounded like a chair moving and a clopping sound as i assumed hooves hit the floor.

“No!” the soft voice said with a bit more firmness then i’ve heard so far, “he needs his rest, im pretty sure both his legs and his right arm were broken, but im only going on minotaur physiology as i’ve never seen one of him before”

The hooves seemed to stop and in a lower voice the other voice said.

“Sorry Fluttershy, i’ll come back tomorrow and see if ‘he’ is better maybe conscious, i’ll send the princess a letter when i get back and see what she has to say on the matter”

“Ok Twilight, good night” came the quiet voice now firmly noted in my mind as the one called Fluttershy.

A strange twinkling snap sound happened after the good buys were said and I heard hooves start towards my position on the floor.

I was unsure if i should open my eyes or not, i was certain i wasnt dreaming and with having woken up twice now in the same location kinda blunted any ideas that i was on any part of earth i know of...so twilight zone it is then….

I opened my eyes slowly, and standing there was the yellow pony looking over my prone form, i made a noise in my throat to make her aware i was awake, a small “eep” but she didnt back away this time she leaned forward a little bit and looking in to my eyes she asked “how are you?”, the kindness in her voice was calming to a degree i wasn’t expecting.

I instinctively relaxed, tension moving from my body that i didn’t know was there. The pain in my body lessened as i relaxed, a slight smile came to my lips as i looked into her eyes “alive it seems” i croaked, man my throat was dry, I’m not sure if it was my response or just my reply in general but she jumped back and landed on her butt with a shocked look, her wings were ruffled out a bit too…..hang on, wings?

Not only was she a talking horse but a mythical pegasus, stranger and stranger.

“Sorry if i scared you” i rasped and immediately going into a coughing fit, holy bandages batman i hurt all over, like all my muscles were too small for my body like a constant cramp, all i could do to ease the pain was stay as still as i could.

Fluttershy rushed over and placed a straw in my mouth only slightly tilting my head so i could drink better.

Wow! This water was amazing! Crisp, fresh and almost sweet, this was the best water I had ever drank. I drank long and deep, emptying the whole glass. I took a deep breath and thanked Fluttershy, she nodded and laid my head back down, as she did this I noticed she was holding the glass in the end of her hoof, this was super confusing. How was she doing that? Another thing to ask later if i remembered.

She set the glass down and turned back to me “you should try and get some more rest you were very badly hurt when i found you”.

I had so many questions but i was suddenly very tired, i gave a weak nod and closed my eyes, the last thing i saw was Fluttershy nodding and heading up the stairs.

The morning seemed to come fast, it felt like i had only just closed my eyes and I was awake again.

“Water” was the first thing that came out of my mouth and almost immediately a straw was placed at my lips, i drank a few mouthfuls and heaved a breath “thank you”.

“You’re welcome” came the happy response from Flutteshy.

I opened my eyes and she was busying herself with bandages and a small dish with a light bluish liquid in it, she was dipping each roll into it and waiting till it was soaked then placing it on a rack and moving to the next one, there must have been 20 or so rolls on the rack each with a light blue tinge to them.

“I will need to change your bandages in a little bit” she said matter of factly with the confidence of the best nurse you could think of.

“Ok” was all i could manage, as i layed there watching her I felt a terrible hunger wash over me like i hadn’t eaten in days, with as little movement as i could manage i looked to her and asked “would it to be possible to have something to eat? Im terribly hungry” my stomach grumbled it’s agreement.

“Of course” was her quick reply “you have been asleep for two days since we last spoke”

The shock must have been obvious in my face she just chuckled and trotted off behind me, i heard pots and crockery being moved around.

“Im kinda surprised you’re awake so soon” she said humming a tune to herself “Twilight came over the next morning and gave you a scan and said you had many broken bones, she tried a healing spell but for some reason it didn’t seem to work?” she said with a confused lilt at the end.

“Healing spell? Like magic?” I said sceptically.

“Yes what other kind of spells are there? Potions i guess but thats what im using on your bandages” she walked back into my view with a bowl on her back and with great dexterity she moved it from her back to the floor with her wings, she then picked the spoon up in her mouth and slowly scooped some soup up and presented it to my mouth.

I felt very awkward having her face so close to mine but the kind look in her eye made me open my mouth anyway and she slowly began to feed me the soup.

A small smile and a chuckle came from her as she fed me, It was a rich smooth vegetable soup and very filling, only a bowl and half later it satisfied my hunger and i thanked her as she took the bowl back to the kitchen but deep down i felt empty like i needed more but i was so full i could burst, ah well i haven’t eaten in a while according to Fluttershy.

Fluttershy came back and just at the same time a knock came from the door, with a little scared hop at the noise Fluttershy walked over to the door and opened it peering around when just enough space was made for her head to fit, her body relaxed a bit.

“Twilight!” Fluttershy said happily and opened the door wider to let her guest in.

In walked a horse with a kinda rigid posture and i was instantly shocked at the horn on its head, “A unicorn?!” i said with amazement.

At my voice the unicorn looked directly at me and gasped, “It can talk Equish?” She, judging by her voice didnt look away as her horn began to glow and a roll of paper? And was that a quill? Rose from bags over her back legs and began to write.

With almost no hesitation she walked straight over to me, Fluttershy was looking from Twilight to me and her mouth was opening and closing like she was trying to say something but nothing came out.

“What are you? Were did you come from? How did you get here?” questions flew from Twilights mouth in rapid succession, i could do nothing but stumble over words as she bombarded me.

“Stop it Twilight!” came a very stern command from Fluttershy “can you see he’s overwhelmed?”

Twilight’s eyes almost comically focused on my face and her ears drooped and her head lowered, “sorry Fluttershy” she said awkwardly

“Don’t say sorry to me say sorry to him” Fluttershy pointed to me.

“Oh!, sorry”, “Hi i’m Twilight Sparkle nice to meet you” Twilight said looking at my face.

“Its ok, i’m just a little confused right now and in quite a bit of pain” i said wincing,
“My name is Sam, its nice to meet you too” i said with a smile on my face.

Fluttershy walked up next to Twilight with a smile on her face and motioned to the bandages ”i was just about to change his bandages”

“I can help if you want?” Twilight offered

“That would be wonderful” Fluttershy said with a small smile “If thats ok with you?” she asked looking at me.

“Sure, not like i can do it myself” ”thank you” i motioned with my chin to my body, they both giggled a little and started to go about preparing the bandages.

I was not looking forward to being moved for the pain it would bring but i was surprised as Twilight’s horn light up and the same light around her horn enveloped me and apart from a wince from Twilight i was lifted up in my entirety without a single movement of my body.

“Try not to move him around to much Twilight, it will cause him pain” Fluttershy said.

This was great! I could have my bandages changed and i wouldn’t have to be moved around.
Fluttershy moved down my body with Twilight holding me aloft taking off all the old bandages, Fluttershy moved as if she had worked as a nurse for a lifetime, professional and confidant.

I couldn’t see very well as she went about my lower body but as Twilight rotated me in the air to give better access to the bandages my blanket fell from my body and i came to the cooling realisation that i was naked apart from the bandages.

Fluttershy seemed to have a slight blush about her face, how was that possible? To blush through fur? And Twilight was blushing heavily.

I tried to think of anything other than the idea of strangers looking at my naked body, but well….
Hey i’m a young man and things happened without my conscious decision and i became erect… not by choice mind you.

“Sorry” i said embarrassed.

“Thats ok” Fluttershy said in a small voice continuing on with the bandages.

“Cant you just put it away” Twilight said a little shaky.

“What? No, thats not how it works, you know how genitals work don’t you?” i said a little bluntly.

“Yes i do” said Twilight with a small stomp of her hoof “ive read about it and stallions can decide to get erect or not, so just put it away, its rude to have it hanging out”.

“Im not a horse Twilight Sparkle!” i said a little angry “im a human and erections can happen at many time”, “it doesn’t take much stimulation and humans don’t have that much control over it” i said now a little more embarrassed.

“Dont you dare call us horses!” Twilight said angrily “were ponies” “don’t ever call us horses”.

“Its not very nice” Fluttershy said in a small voice with her eas drooping.

The reaction to me calling them horses caught me of guard, i think challenge them that was something like a slur.

“Im sorry” i said sincerely “ i had no idea that was a slur, im not exactly from around here”.

A small smile graced Fluttershy’s face “thats ok but its not a nice thing to say, so try not to say it again, please” she continued on replacing the bandages, she was now on to putting the new ones on starting with my legs.

“Yeah its not a nice thing to call ponies” said Twilight with a calmer tone.

As i looked at her i noticed her paper and quill hovering above her scribbling away and i swear i saw a blue pony looking through one of the high windows, but as soon as i laid eyes on the pony it moved away fast, it made me wonder if i had seen it at all.

As they worked i saw Twilight seem to struggle, “is there something wrong Twilight?” Fluttershy asked with concern.

“Oh its nothing” she said with a little strain in her voice “its just a little hard to hold him up in my telekinetic field”

Fluttershy that was all the way up to my chest by now turned and looked at Twilight with that same concern on her face “ are you ok Twilight? I know he’s a little heavy but this should be easy for you to hold”

With a little strain Twilight said ”its like my magic is being sucked way, like i have to constantly recast the telekinesis over and over again, its really strange”

“I’ll hurry then” Fluttershy said and got back to work with quick movements but not sloppy by any means.

In little time at all Fluttershy Finished up and Twilight lowered me back down carefully.

“There all done” said Fluttershy, Twilight stopped her spell and sank to her butt a little out of breath but staring at me like I was a puzzle.

“You ok Twilight? I asked as Fluttershy pulled the cover up over me and offered me a drink.

“Yeah” she said absent mindedly “I need to talk to Celestia again about you” she said with a strange finality and turned to leave, this shocked Fluttershy and she spun around to go over to her friend. Fluttershy stopped Twilight and the two of them had a conversation that was far too quiet for me to hear.

Twilight left and Fluttershy turned to me with a smile on her face, she walked up and sat by my side, “do you need anything? She asked kindly

“No, im fine thank you, as long as i don’t move to much” a sudden thought hit me
“ I know its a bit late but where am i?”

Fluttershy gave an apologetic smile “ Twilight asked me to not answer those questions till she got back from talking to Princess Celestia”

“Oh? Ok no problem” i said flatly but with a smile, i can understand not giving info to a strange person you just met.

“Then if you don’t mind im going to tend to my animals, just call me if you need anything” she said with a soft smile

“Thank you Fluttershy” i said with a easy smile and laid back to rest, she turned to go and i let out a soft sigh and fell in to a comfortable sleep, that strange hungry feeling not biting at me quite so hard.

Author's Note

Hey wonderful people, after reading a lot of fun and fantastic stories I decided to try my had at a story, I'm not sure if its any good but nothing ventured nothing gained.
Comments and Criticism welcome and Tips, tricks and help greatly appreciated

A Walk

So bright, why do mornings have to be so bright? Kinda annoying if you ask me.
It feels like i'm in a Disney movie, birds are tweeting, other animals are mewling outside and it sounds like Fluttershy is singing to them, it's a sweet soft song and it almost lulls me back to sleep but hunger is a powerful mistress and my stomach is a cheerleader for her it seems.

I tried to lift my left arm to reach the glass of water set next to me and surprisingly I felt no pain.
“Awesome!” I said out loud and being maybe a little bit silly I tried to lift my right arm and lo and behold I could lift it no worries, wait I thought Fluttershy said it was broken? I flexed my arm and no pain struck me, maybe she was wrong? Anyway feeling pretty good about not being in pain I gingerly sat myself up...no pain at all, what was in those potions? I could make a mint with those back at home.

I sat there enjoying a wonderful glass of water when Fluttershy trotted in.

“You shouldn't be stilling up!” she said with concern.

“But I feel amazing!” I stated matter of factly, “What was in those potions? They work like magic”.

“Well they are Zebra Magic but that is beside the point, those potions shouldn't work that well?”
“They are meant to help with speeding up the healing process but this is incredible, you only had two treatments” Fluttershy said with a little bit of wonder.

“Well i have always healed pretty fast, my mother told me it has something to do with my blood or some such, i just thought my blood clotted well and I stopped bleeding pretty fast” i said feeling quite amazed with myself.

“But could you heal broken bones and torn muscles in just a few days?” She said with a questioning look walking over to me.

“Well..no, never anything that sevier” I had to admit.

Fluttershy gently poked and prodded at my limbs gently and her face just had a confused look on it.

“Do humans heal fast like this?” she questioned me.

“No, not at all, it would take months to heal broken bones and torn muscles can lay people up for weeks. I just assumed that the potions and magic from Twilight Sparkle healed me” I said with now growing concern.

“Twilight's magic is very powerful but without in-depth knowledge of your anatomy all she could do was a basic healing spell that closes wounds, Healing wounds like this...I don't know how that could happen?” she said whale looking me in the eye with a slight frown.

“Well i seem to be in very good health now right? I motioned to my body questionaly.

“ As far as i can tell your bones and muscles are healed, but how are you feeling?” she said this while leaning forward looking deep in my eyes like she was seeing if i was faking it or something.

“ I feel amazing!” I said smiling “but I am incredibly hungry” at this statement my stomach grumbled its agreement.

A chuckling Fluttershy gave a small smile and hopped up and moved toward the kitchen.

“I’ll get you some oatmeal and fruit” she said in a happy voice.

I continued to flex my limbs while Fluttershy was in the kitchen and as I did it reminded me that I was unclothed, this got me thinking where my clothes were that I was wearing when I was found. I looked around and none of my clothing was present, Fluttershy walked in with my oatmeal and an apple on her back.
As she got next to me I reached over and lifted the tray from her back, and as my fingers brushed her fur she let out a shocked “eep” and jumped away from me.

“Sorry” I said quickly, lowering the tray to my lap. “I didn't mean to scare you”

With a calming breath she said “ I..Its ok I wasn't expecting you to take it off my back and your paws touched my back”

“Hands” I said, holding up my hands “Humans called them hands”, “ And on the end of hands are fingers” wiggling them like I was telling a small child.

“Hands and fingers, Ok” Fluttershy said, sitting a little closer to me.

I started to eat the oatmeal, and i'm not a foodie or anything but this oatmeal was crazy good, and the apple was like candy it was so sweet.

As I ate I asked Fluttershy what happened to my clothes, and if it would be possible to get them back.

“Yeah there,” she said, getting up and walking outside.

She came back inside with a scrunched up nose and a basket in her mouth which had a bundle of cloth in it. She placed the basket near me as I finished eating and took the tray to the kitchen.
I picked the clothes out of the basket and I immediately grasped why Fluttershy had kept it outside, it stunk to high heaven, blood and mud staining almost every inch of my clothes.
The T-shirt was cut up the centre and in a T shape to the collar, i guess that's how Fluttershy got it off me to bandage me, it also had rips all across it and the right arm from the neck to just under the sleeve was almost completely ripped off, “My arm was in this?” was all I could mutter slowly rolling my right shoulder. My pants didn't fare any better, blood and mud caked them and Fluttershy had cut them from waist to the bottom of each leg, they were torn to pieces too, sadly my underwear were destroyed from Fluttershy's cutting.
That was it, not a single item of clothing had been left intact.
A sad sigh left me as Fluttershy walked back in, she looked at me with an apologetic smile.

“Were they Expensive Clothes?” She asked, looking a little sick staring at my gross pile of clothes.

“Expensive, no, but they were my only clothes” i said looking sad

“Oh thats ok then, we can find you some clothes next time there is something fancy you want to” She said with a smile.

With a confused look on my face i said “But i’ll be naked until then” i said kinda embarrassed

“So?” came her quick reply “Most ponies go with out clothes, unless they want to be or go somewhere fancy, well most nobles wear clothes all the time but nobles like to show off”

“Fluttershy, humans wear clothes not just to dress up but because we don't have fur or tough hides, were kinda squishy and vulnerable so we wear clothes to protect our skin and protect ourselves from the hot or cold, and well i don't want to be naked in front of other people its embarrassing” i said kinda slipping in to lecture mode.

“Are you embarrassed because your penis is always out?” she said kindly

I couldn't help but feel my face flush, “Yeah, most humans don't like being naked in front of others that aren't their lovers”

A kind smile came to Fluttershy's lips, “I don't really get it, but i know someone who loves making clothes, maybe we can ask her to make you some clothes?” she said with a happy tone.

“Sounds great”, “maybe i could wrap a blanket around me in the meantime?” I said, putting the basket of clothes on the floor.

“You don't have to cover up in front of me, I’ve seen you naked anyway” Fluttershy said very innocently, but very quickly a blush came to her face. She laid down covering her face.

A knock on the door saved both of us from the strange conversation we were having.

“Fluttershy?” came the voice of Twilight Sparkle.

“Twilight!” called Fluttershy bouncing up to get the door.

Fluttershy let Twilight Sparkle in and almost immediately.

“Are you feeling ok Fluttershy?” asked Twilight Sparkle looking at Fluttershy's face.

‘O..Oh i'm ok Twilight just a little warm” stuttered Fluttershy

“Ok” Twilight Sparkle said, trotting over to me and setting down her bags.

“How are you doing today Samuel?” Asked Twilight Sparkle levitating a quill and paper, maybe parchment now i'm looking closer

“Just call me Sam, and I'm feeling amazing, not a single tingle of pain, magic potions and healing spells are incredible!” I said flexing my arms.

“Ok Sam, just call me Twilight then, no need to be formal” she said with a smile.

Twilight began to examine me like a comedic routine, mouth, eyes ,ears, lifting my arms..
“Do humans usually regenerate this fast? She asked and started to lift the cover from my body.

“Woah, nope that's far enough Twilight” i said bringing my arms down to grab the cover,
“Humans take months to heal from broken bones, as i was telling Fluttershy”

Twilight gave me a raised eyebrow look as she stopped trying to move the cover, Fluttershy walked up to Twilight.

“Humans have a taboo about being seen naked’ Fluttershy told Twilight.

“What? Why? Is it because his penis is always out?” Twilight asked matter of factly.

“That's part of it, from what he’s said it just seems to be a human culture thing” explained Fluttershy with a slight blush.

“That doesn't bother me” Twilight said with a blush as well, “the princess has tasked me to take custody of the human till she can come and see if he is a threat to Equestria”

“Well I mind” I said, holding the cover firmly over my form with a bit more annoyance in my voice then I meant to come out.

“Oh, yeah of course, sorry” Twilight said with her head and ears drooping, “I kinda get carried away sometimes when research is involved” she chuckles.

The feeling in the room was a little awkward for a bit until I asked.

“Twilight, Fluttershy said she wasn't allowed to tell me where I am, till you asked the princess, can you tell me now? I said with the best smile I could muster.

“Yeah, sorry I was a little paranoid when I told Fluttershy that” Twilight said with a small laugh and rubbing the back of her neck, “I wasn't sure you weren't a creature sent to hurt us ponies, and just bungled your infiltration”.

“Infiltration?” I said with confusion.

“Sorry,”Twilight said again, rubbing her neck. “I’ve been reading a story called ‘The Creature from the Badlands’ and maybe my imagination ran away a little..”

All i could do was start laughing, a deep truly rolling laugh tears and all, Both ponies present just looked at me with confusion,

“Sorry Twilight but that's just amazing, I used to get that way reading ghost stories when i was younger, turning off the light running to bed, things hiding in the wardrobe, I'm just glad i wasn't being kept in the dark because i was in trouble or something” i said trying to control my laughter and wiping away my tears.

Twilight looked quite a bit embarrassed and was scuffing the floor with a hoof while Fluttershy giggled into her hoof with a big smile on her face.

“So where am I exactly? I'm pretty sure I'm not on earth” i said mostly under control.

“Earth?” was Twilight's first reaction completely forgetting her embarrassment.

“I can tell you later, if that's ok with you?” I said quickly

“Sure you’re going to be staying with me for a bit anyway, that will also give me time to tell you about Equestria” Twilight said without skipping a beat.

“Is that what you mean by taking custody?” Fluttershy said a little sadly

“Sorry Fluttershy, princess’s orders” Twilight said, patting Fluttershy on the shoulder.

“It's Interesting talking to him, he’s so different,” Fluttershy said, hiding her face behind her mane.

“You can always come visit, anytime you want,” Twilight said with a smile to me.

“Yeah any time Fluttershy, I like talking to you too” I said with a smile to Fluttershy,
“Though i have no idea where that will be”

“Oh, my house is in the center of Ponyville, I live in the local Library, Fluttershy has been there many times before, it's only a half hour trot away” Twilight said standing and collecting her things.

Watching Twilight collect her stuff I thought I was moving now, and kinda panicked being quite under dressed for a long walk outside.

“Hey Twilight are you taking me now?, because i'm not sure i want to go for a long walk undressed, also the walk will probably rip up my feet as i don't have any shoes” I said lifting my foot and wiggling my toes.

“You wear shoes?” Twilight said, looking at your soft fleshy foot.

Instantly putting two and two together “Not shoes like hor...pony shoes, metal attached to my foot, humans use Tough materials to envelop our feet to protect our skin” catching myself hopefully quick enough.

Twilight and Fluttershy let it slide thankfully.

“We don't do that anymore, but I get what you mean” she said looking at my foot, “A sharp rock could do a lot of damage to your feet” Twilight said using my nomenclature with ease.

“I said I would introduce him to Rarity later on to help with clothes, and maybe we can get her to make him some shoes too?” Fluttershy said helpfully

“That's a great idea Fluttershy” Twilight said with a smile “I would teleport us there but I’m not sure how teleportation would effect Sam, and something weird happens to my magic when i use it on him” This last bit was followed by a thinking frown appearing on her face.

“Im fine walking there but we will have to go slow, i'm not risking ripping my feet up,” i said trying to stand.

It was a little difficult to stand. My limbs felt tight, like a day or two after a good workout, no pain as such but tightness all the same. I tied the cover over myself kinda like a toga, a little breezy but it covered me up a good amount.

Collecting a few bits Fluttershy walked around one last time checking her animals before stopping in front of a small white rabbit and telling him to take care of the house, and to my shock he gave her a salute. That's another impossible thing i have seen now being here and it's only past breakfast.

Off we set to Ponyville, with two legendary creatures walking beside me, what could i do but go with the flow, that or i could go crazy.
I hope this walk doesn't take long, my legs are stiff already, and I'm hungry.
