Previous ChapterNext Chapter

”I’m sorry you six, but I can’t allow any form of interaction with that thing in the room. We have no idea what it is, if it is dangerous, or if it’s even able to interact with others.”
W-What?

Dangerous? Why would I be dangerous?
Barely cracking my eye, the bright lights in the room burned my retinas. Quickly shut my eyes, after a few seconds of pain from the bright lights, but I know I must get a better understanding of my surroundings.

Biting the bullet, I opened my eyes to see around me
Mmmmm, these lights hurt like hell
After a Quick Look around, it’s … a hospital room?

A fairly small, square room; a window to my left, with the blinds shut, a plant to my northwest, medical equipments right next to me, and a door to my east. Not really much to look at, nothing to help me know where exactly I’m at.

I see.. shadows? Yea, I see a few shadows outside my door.
They did say they won’t allow interactions with me, I presume, but I have to know what happened.

”Oh cmonnnnnn! We could introduce ourselves to show we mean no harm! We could have a fun party to have it introduce it to everyone in town!

Geez, they’re overly enthusiastic
.. wait, town? As in a rural town or more urban?
To me, it seems like a rural town from the way the very, feminine voice said.

”H-Hello?”
Damnit, seems like my voice is dead. What the hell happened to me?

==========================================

GET OUT THE DOOR!!

*CRACK CRACK CRACK*

MOVE MOVE MO-

==========================================

AHHH… W-what.. What the hell was that?
I… I don’t know what that was.. was it some-

The door creaked opened, causing me to snap my head to it.

Instead of seeing a doctor or a nurse I’m used to, I see a…
A pony? Why is there a pony in a hospital?

Whatever face I was making to the pony, I must’ve scared it half to death. The pony had an all white coat, a light pink mane, and a.. is that a butt tattoo??

Maybe it’s to show ownership or something

The tattoo..? is a red medical red cross symbol. Maybe it’s an emotional support animal for the kids here-

“Umm… hello there, my name is-

“HUH?? Waitwaitwait, You can talk?!” I was so shocked to hear words, actual words, come out of the pony’s mouth. I swear I’m dreaming right now, right? Fell asleep weird and in dreaming weird. Yeaaa, yea that makes sense

Testing my theory, I did what I’ve been told every time to test if I’m dreaming: I pinch myself.

It stings, but I still see the pony and the hospital room. Am.. am I not dreaming?? But that doesn’t make any sense? Did I actually take a hallucinogen, or did I eat something laced?

“Hey! Be careful what you’re doing! You might open your wounds again.” The, nurse?, pony said. Rather hostile than I was expecting, it actually caught me off guard

Wait wounds? Wait, that makes sense on why I’m in a hospital in general

“How did I get here? What happened to me? Who are you, and how can you speak??” My curiosity and, unfortunately, panic grew steadily. As I’m seeing the impossible right in front of me: An actual talking pony, or animal in general!

“You need to slow down on those questions… sir? I’ll answer your questions soon, but I need more information on you, as you have no identity at all in Ponyville or anywhere else in all of Equestria!”

Ponyville? Equestria? What the hell are those names? I’ve never heard of them before

I still can’t believe what I’m looking at, even hearing at this very point! At least she(?) knows I’m intelligent, so I won’t be tested as an animal.. right?

“Ok, umm, well to start, I can tell you my name is Jax… uhhh, do you just need my name or do you need more info?”

“Obviously I need more, but I can infer that, based on your voice, you are a male. I obviously don’t have to ask, but obviously you are not any creature I have seen at all. So, please tell me, what are you exactly?” The nurse pony asked, with a bit of suspicion, but more curiosity.

“I can’t be believe I’m talking to a pony, but here goes… I guess you can say I’m a human, or “homosapiens” if you want to get all scientifically, well, I think that’s the scientific names for me..” I said, with an awkward shrug. “Sorry for not giving you more details on my species, I not the smartest to say the least, so you’re stuck with basic info.”

I wanted to at least make a joke, make her laugh or smile, since I’m not reallyyyy the best with handling things like this.

“Well, I’m sure Twilight will have a field day with you…”

Twlight? And what does she mean by, “she’ll have a field day with you.” Oh no, please don’t tell I’m gonna get experimented on.”

“Umm, may I get your name? Since you know mine now?” I know I sounded pathetic; the thought of being experimented on against my will brought a chill down my spine. “Oh! Yea, I did say I’ll answer your questions after all, Nurse Redheart is what you’ll refer to me as. As for your where you are at, you are Ponyville hospital, you were brought by six other ponies her. You were in critical condition from your wounds. They said they found you in the Everfree Forest, all bloodied up, with small hole wounds in these areas…” Redheart points(?) with her hoofs at my stomach, left arm, and right thigh,”..I don’t think I should ask, but can you remember what happened?”

“I… I don’t remember. No, I don’t remember what happened to me. I don’t know how I got here, why I was injured. I don’t think I belong here…” As hard as I tried, I couldn’t remember a single thing. What happened to me?

==========================================

BANG

==========================================

“SUPRISEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!”

I couldn’t even react when a pink blur ran up to my bed and slammed into me. Giving me a soul-crushing hug.

“ACK! Urg.. wha- who are- OW! That’s hurting me bones!” I could barely form a sentence from that hug. Honestly thinking that some of my bones might be cracked. But yet, honestly felt nice to receive the hug, even if it hurts like hell.

Good thing I’m in a hospital right now… I thought, giggling in my head.

“Pinkie Pie! What the hay did I say to you and your friends about barging in here?? I told you all to not enter here!” Nurse Redheart exclaimed. In her attempt to pry off the bright pink blur off of me, guess her name is Pinkie Pie, Pinkie held on like I was gonna run away or something. Redheart’s attempt was all but futile, as Pinkie stay welded onto me.

“Oh cmonnnnnnn! We found it all hurt and stuff, it could be scared of everything! Well, more like it appeared right in front of us… We need to introduce it to everypony in town, to show that we are safe!” Pinkie responded. The only thing I fear is that my bones will break under the hug I’m in.

As much as I want to talk, the hug was rather comforting, in a weird way, but good. I stayed silent, hearing pairs of footsteps running to the door, and a… whoosh sound? I barely got a peak to see.. a purple, lavender?, pony, with a horn on its head? A unicorn? How the hell does a mythical creature exist?. Then, the door slammed opened to show four other ponies: A pure white unicorn with purple mane, curled cartoonishly, a light blue… pegasus?? ok, never mind that, with a rainbow colored mane; an orange colored pony with a cowboy hat, no external features, and a yellow colored pony, another Pegasus??

Where the hell am I? I’m where mythical creatures exist, and talking ponies. What’s next, a dragon is gonna come through that door too? Lo and behold, and small purple dragon ran through the door, seemed it lagged behind.

You're absolutely shitting me, right? I mentally face palmed myself, as I’m still in the iron grasp a Pinkie Pie. ”Okkkkk, Pinkie, you can let go of me now. I swear I’m not terrified of you all. since none of you have tried to hurt me in anyway.”

“Foineeeeee, but I expect you to return the favor of that comfort hug!” Pinkie then jumped off of the bed and stood by the new guests.

…. It’s completely silent now, with Pinkie and her new guests staring at me, and Redheart checking my body, in case if there’s any new injury or reopened any.”Soooo, I guess we should start with introduction . Oh, and a thank you for saving me. I don’t know what happened to me, but thank you.” It’s least I can tell them, since my predicament is… unique, to say the least.
