Sweet Apple Acres

Derek began to stir, slowly sitting up to a massive headache. Placing both his palms to his eyes. He felt like he had just gotten off the world's dizziest rollercoaster. He drops his hands down, he feels the soreness in his nose, and the dried blood on his face. From what he could tell his nose wasn't broken, just sore as hell. He leaned back on his hands and gave the place a quick look over. He seemed to be in some sort of... Orchard? He looked all around him to see a bunch of apple trees.

"What the? There are no orchards near the facility." Derek thought to himself, slowly forcing himself to stand up. He wobbled before getting his footing. He was still wearing the one piece janitor outfit over his street clothes, and wearing a red baseball cap.

The last thing he remembered was holding onto dear life as he was being pulled by a black hole, but he passed out. Just how unsafe was that experiment?. Since it was now daytime, he knew he had to have been out for sometime. He looks up at one of the apple trees, seeing he was just high enough to pick one. He picks it with a twisting motion of his hand and looked at it. Whoever owned this place wouldn't mind him having one apple right? Besides, his stomach was growling. He took a bite and his eyes went wide, it was the sweetest and juiciest apple he had ever eaten. He ate it down to the core before dropping it on the ground. He quickly reached up and plucked another one, eating it as well. He licked the juices off his lips before putting his hands on his hips and looking around again, hoping there was a dirt path for him to follow. He wanted to know just how far away he was sent.

"If I was flown far away from the facility, I wondered how I survived the fall with no injuries." he thought to himself. Over the hills of the orchard, he could see a small town not too far away. He reached up and picked two more apples for the road as he stuffed them into his pockets.

"Better start there, I need to get back to work and tell them I'm alright. Shit, maybe I can get a settlement from them for endangering my life!" He smirked at the thought, getting paid millions of dollars by the facility and finally quitting as a janitor. He then started to walk towards the town.

One Hour Later
Ponyville

Derek could see a stone bridge that went over a small creek, he stepped onto it as he approached the town. As he got closer to the town, he began to realize something was... off. First off, the house. They looked so... so... Derek had trouble finding the best word to describe them, till he found the most suitable word, Primitive. The house looked like they were inspired by the middle ages, and they seemed a bit smaller as well. A second thing he noticed was that there wasn't anyone in sight, like the town was deserted.

"They can't be" He thought, placing his finger and thumb on his chin. "The houses are way too well kept for it to be abandoned." The third and probably the most shocking thing he saw, was near the back of the town, a rather large castle that seemed to be made of crystal stood tall. From far away it looked like a church, but up close, it most definitely was a castle.
"This place is kinda weird."

Derek finally started walking into town, still not seeing anyone near. He swears he sees something out of the corner of his eye, but when he turns to look, no-one is there. He finally makes it to a place that looks like a courthouse, or at least looks like a courthouse. It was in the center of town, and nearby was a fountain with a statue in the middle. He approaches the statue and sees it is of a horse. He puts his hands in his pockets as he examines it.

"Well, usually statues have people riding the horse, instead of just the horse." He said aloud to himself. He was used to statues of historical figures riding horses, but this one was just a horse. keeping his hands in his pockets, he continued to examine the town, he had to be in the town center as the houses seemed to be built in a circle around the courthouse.
"Hello!? Anyone here!?" Derek called out, getting annoyed at the lack of people. Furrowing his brow he decided to check out the courthouse, surely there had to be someone in there at least. He walked up the steps and pushed open the saloon style doors and lowered his head. He gave the place a good examination. Again, no one was in sight.

"Hello!? I need help! I don't know where I'm at and I need to get back home!" Derek put his hands to his mouth to amplify his voice, but he received no answer. He was really getting angry at the lack of responses he was getting.
"I know people live here! This place is far too well maintained for no one to be here! Come out please!" He yelled out once again. The only voice he heard was his own as it echoed through the courthouse.
"Dammit! Forget it then!" He picked up a rock and chucked it deep inside of the courthouse, hitting a window and shattering it. He didn't care, he turned and began to storm out.

He stepped out of the courthouse letting the doors swing violently behind him, he was looking at the ground in anger as he walked down the steps. When he got to the ground, he then looked up and was taken back by what he saw. The first living breathing thing inside the town since he got here, but it wasn't human. In fact, it was the farthest thing from a human, it was a horse. A brightly colored purple horse... with wings... and a horn? It stood there, with it's wings outstretched and looking right at him. Derek froze where he was standing, his jaw gapped and his eyes wide. At first the two looked as if they were in a staring match, neither blinking or moving their eyes off of each other. She had a curious, but cautious look in her eyes, not at all angry or scared. Derek couldn't tell if she was friendly or not. He blinked, finally breaking off their 'staring contest' as he then looked off to the side, before turning back to look at the horse, or he was sure it was a horse. The horses he knew weren't purple and didn't have wings or horns. If it was a horse though, he decided he would try and coax it over. He reached into his pocket and pulled out one of the apples.

"Hey there horsey, come here. Come here horsey, I got an apple for ya." He said in a high pitched tone with a smile on his face. His smile soon disappeared however when he saw a very human emotion befell it's face.

"E-EXCUSE ME!?" It said with a feminine voice, a very offended sounding voice. Her eyes quickly looked angry as her chest puffed out a bit. Derek however froze as the apple soon fell out of his palm and onto the ground. He had a flabbergasted expression as he looked at the horse in awe.

"...Did... did you just talk?" Derek slowly uttered.

"Of course I did!" She snapped back at him. Derek feels his headache he had earlier returned, and his heart start to beat a thousand beats per minute. The corners of his eyes began to darken, when everything faded to black once more.
