Rainbow Dash and I quickly finished up there conversation. Dash went downstairs and left me upstairs. I looked around the room to find anything, anything at all to do. The room consisted of the bed that I was sitting on, a desk to the right of me and a closet on my left. I realized how much smaller the house looked from outside.
I walked over to the desk and opened one of the drawers. I found several empty notebooks. Most of them were normal sized but there a few pocket sized ones. They were all filled with blank pages. The drawer below that contained several packages of pencils. They were all sharpened. I took a pencil with his mouth and set it on the bed. Then I gently took a notebook as to not get the pages wet or wrinkled.
I walked over to the bed and jumped up. I tried to take a pencil in my hoof but couldn’t grip it right. I thought of how he could hold it and remembered seeing somepony holding it in her mouth. I took it in my mouth and started drawing. I was very surprised how naturally it felt to draw with my mouth.
I started drawing possible cutie marks for me since I had a blank-flank. One was a pencil and paper for drawing; another was a portal, not unlike the one that I had come here in. My mind started to wander and I started drawing things from back home without realizing it. First I drew the pet bunny that I had when I was 6. Then I started drawing memories. Not the good ones either. I heard a soft knock at the door when I was finishing up a drawing the scene when my dad threw my puzzle against the wall. I very clearly remember him saying “Puzzles are for girls! NO SON OF MINE IS GOING TO BE DOING PUZZLES!”
There was another knock at my door and I hear Fluttershy say in that sweet little voice of hers “Scout, it’s time for dinner…if you don’t mind.” I slid off the bed and opened the door. I smiled a little and walked down the stairs next to her. She looked over and me and gasped. I snapped my head at her wondering what she was so worried about. I saw her looking at my side. I looked down and saw the big cut that I had gotten from falling into Ponyville. I had completely forgotten about it until now.

She ran upstairs faster than I could say anything. By the time she had gotten back, I was downstairs. Fluttershy was carrying a small first-aid box in her mouth and she set it on the table. She told me “Scout, if you wouldn’t mind, can I clean your cut…please?” My eyes widened and I tried to shrink back. I shook my head.
“Scout, would you mind if…um…if I cleaned up your cut a little bit?”
“No thank you, I’m okay, Fluttershy, really. See? Look, it’s already starting to dry up.”
“Come on, Scout. You don’t need to be scared.”
I started backing away slowly until I got to the stairs. I ran as fast as I could up the stairs until my foot caught on one of the stairs. I slipped and started tumbling down the stairs. I lay in a crumpled ball of pain at the bottom of the stairs. Fluttershy ran over as fast as she could over to me and helped me up.
“Oh My Goodness, Scout, are you okay?” She helped me up carefully. My cut reopened to where it starting dripping. I looked down at it. It actually hurt this time. I winced a little at the sight of it. I sat down on the floor and Fluttershy came over with her tiny first-aid box. She put it down and smiled hopefully. I said “okay” reluctantly. She smiled big and opened up the small box.
It had a roll of medical tape, a roll of bandage strips, and a small bottle of numbing spray. I shifted uncomfortably as she took out the bottle. She assured me that this wouldn’t hurt a bit. She spritzed a little spray which immediately took away any pain that was still lingering. She took the bandages and wrapped it around my midsection a few times to cover the whole cut before cutting it off and taping it in place.
She smiled and said “See that wasn’t so bad? Was it?” I shook my head and inspected her work. It looked good but was very restricting. It went over my wings, so I guess I won’t be trying to fly anytime soon. I stood up right when I heard another knock at the door.
--------
There was a purple pony standing at the door. She had a dark purple almost blue mane with dark purple and bright pink streaks in it. She walked in with a purple and green reptile following her. I tilted my head slightly, looking at the…the lizard?
I tried to sneak away upstairs before they saw me but it was the late. The lizard-like reptile ran up to me and said “Aw Cool! Look Twilight, a new pony!” I looked around to see if I could find a way out of this situation but there was nothing. The purple pony, I found out to be Twilight, came trotting over to me.
She held out her hoof and said very matter-of-factly “Hi, My name is Twilight Sparkle.” I took her hoof and shook it. Fluttershy came over to introduce us. “Scout, this is Twilight Sparkle and Spike. Twilight, Spike, this is Scout.”
I gave them a small smile before finally backing up and going upstairs. I could hear them through the walls. I heard Spike say “What’s his problem?” Fluttershy replied very calmly “Oh, he’s just shy. I'm sure he’ll warm up soon enough.” I thought that’s weird. I've never been called ‘shy’ before. I was usually so outgoing.

I started thinking back to how I got here. It was only a couple hours ago but the memory was getting fuzzy and I couldn’t remember the details. I grabbed my notebook and started doing a rough sketch of what I could remember. I drew the portal with my hand sticking through it and another sketch of me walking through it.
I ripped the papers out, folded them up, and put them on the desk. When I put the notebook back in the drawer, there was a tapping at my window. I turned around to see Rainbow Dash staring in and waving. I opened the window and she stepped in. She had a big smile on her face.
“Hey, squirt; I have a surprise for you. Follow me.”
