Helping Hoof

Dylan wakes up in a bed with ponies surrounding him.

"GAH! WHO AND WHAT ARE YOU!?" Dylan screams in surprise.

"You don't remember us..?" Fluttershy asks.

"I don't even remember meeting you! Who are you!?"

"I'm Fluttershy. I'm sorry, I didn't catch your name last time. Who are you?"

"I'm Dylan. What's with everybody, Fluttershy?"

"You mispronounced everypony. These are my friends. Twilight Sparkle, Rarity, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, and Applejack. We've all been very worried about you."

"I'm fine. Just move so I can get out of bed, please."

Dylan moves to sit on the edge of the bed, and stands, then falls before screaming.

"OW! Why am I hurting so badly?"

"Well, Fluttershy here told me that you were try'na kill yourself by goin' an' jumpin' off a buildin'. She reacted purty quickly and flew well beyond 'er limits, and grabbed ya. It wasn't enough to keep ya from hittin' the ground, so you ended up with some bones broken near your chest and two sprained hooves." Applejack explained, pointing at Dylan's feet near the end.

"Er... These aren't hooves... They're feet... AND WHAT!?" Dylan screamed, panicking once he realized he had broken bones.

At that moment, the pain hit him like a bullet in the groin. He screamed, and clutched his abdomen in pain.

"Stop! If you do that, you'll only make your injuries more severe. You need to refrain from moving for the next couple of weeks," Came a comforting voice, accompanied by a white pony in a nurse hat.

"Hello, Nurse Redheart. We were just about to leave. Come on, girls," Twilight commanded.

"Wait, a couple WEEKS!? That's probably gonna be how long it's gonna take for my friend to right my wrongs on Earth! I have to help him!" Dylan yelled.

"No. You can't. Besides, we haven't been able to perform such a spell. Teleporting from one dimension to another has only been done by Celestia, Luna, and Star Swirl the Bearded. And even they only performed it once to one other dimension, then back. We're so very sorry."

"What..? God damn... I... I..." Dylan just about broke at that moment. Right as he remembered his friends, everything just came pouring out.

"We'll be visiting three days each week to help you, Dylan. I promise," Fluttershy assured Dylan.

"O-okay..." Dylan said, barely producing an understandable version of the word.

With that, they all left him in his room. And he was alone...
