I woke up to hearing the front door opening and whispered voices talking, "I let him sleep on my bed because he looked really tired," Rainbow Dash said.
"I want to see what happened to the poor thing," a female voice said.
"Well, I have to see how bad his injuries are," another female voice said.
"So, what dose he look like again?" A heavy western american sounding accented female voice asked.
"Oh! I know, Dashie said that he is black with red eyes and a rainbow mane like hers!" A very energetic female voice said quickly.
"Um...I think we should be...Um...A little more quiet if he is asleep..." A very hushed female voice said. I sat up as soon as Rainbow Dash peeked her head into the room.
"Oh, it's OK, he's awake" Rainbow Dash said while opening the door all the way. Five other ponies stepped into the room and encircled me. there was a purple one with a mix of a dark blue/purple/pink mane, a white one with a curly dark purple mane, an orange one with a blond mane in a ponytail, a pink one with a dark pink fluffy mane, and a yellow one with a bright pink mane that covered half of her face. "OK, Thunderclap, that's Twilight Sparkle, that's Rarity, that's Applejack, that's Pinkie Pie, and that's Fluttershy, everypony, that's Thunderclap." Rainbow Dash pointed while floating above me.
Twilight came closer, "May I look at your arm?" She kindly asked me. I held out my hoof and she looked at it closely. While she was looking at it, I noticed that she had a horn sticking out of her mane. I also noticed that Rarity had one too and I noticed that Fluttershy was a pegasus like Rainbow Dash. "It's not too bad, all we need is a cast," Twilight said.
"Oh, I knew I had brought this for a reason, here you go Thunderclap...Ah ha! Good as...Well, new!" Rarity said while fastening the white cloth to my arm.
"Thank you for your kindness, Twilight, Rarity," I nodded to both of them.
"Hey, ah just noticed somethin'...Whats your Cutie Mark Thunderclap?" Applejack asked while everypony looked at me.
"Uh...My Cutie Mark?" I asked, What in the bloody hell is a Cutie Mark???
"It represents your special talent silly!" Pinkie Pie said while pulling off the blanket. All six of them looked at the sides of my thighs, so I looked down there myself. All the blood drained from my face when I saw my Cutie Mark. What I saw was a armored head with horns coming out of either side of the head and blood red evil eyes, it had two plates of neck armor above the head, the head and neck was all black but with faint red designs all over it.  "Ooooooo, cool! What is it? Pinkie Pie asked.
"It is the head of an alien race that slaughtered all of my friends and everybody I knew, destroyed the base I was positioned at, and nearly killed me," I said darkly.
"What?!" All six of the ponies said, shocked.

I told them my life story before I came to this land: when I was drafted, when I joined Bravo squadron, got positioned on the planet Eerost, did my duty, fell in love with one of my squad mates, she was raped and tortured by an alien general that we were at war with, got her back and she died days later, went to recover enemy intelligence and found a group of defector aliens, took them to base, the base being surprise attacked by the unknown alien race (like my Cutie Mark), my commanding officer telling me to save myself and sacrificing himself and a couple other friends, the journey through the Prototype Teleporting Device, and then the exiting of it and me getting knocked out. "Soooo, yah, that sums it up," I looked at everypony, still digesting my life story.
"You poor creature, having lost your loved one to that monster," Rarity said.
"And all your best friends to those savages," Twilight added.
"But your in a better life now! One that isn't filled with war and death and loss, but filled with joy and love and happiness!" Pinkie Pie happily added. 
"Thank you Pinkie Pie, that has helped," I said, forcing a smile.
"W-what is your special talent? Well...Unless you don't wanna tell..." Fluttershy asked while looking at me shyly.
"I do not know what my talent is, odd, I never had a talent before," I said thoughtfully.
"If you don't know your special talent, then how the heck do you have a Cutie Mark?" Twilight asked, really confused.
I shrugged, "Beats me. Maybe it has something to do with something I did before I came here."
"But that doesn't make any sense..." Twilight said, in deep thought. After a few minutes, Rainbow Dash left the room for a couple seconds and came back in.
"Alright everypony, It's getting dark and Thunderclap needs his rest," Rainbow Dash said. I got out of Rainbow Dash's bed and followed the ponies out of the room and I stopped to say goodbye to everypony. 
After they left, I turned to Rainbow Dash and asked, "So, where am I allowed to sleep? I know I shouldn't sleep in your bed but if there is no other place to sleep-" 
"Are you saying you want to sleep with me?" Rainbow Dash said, cutting me off.
"N-no! I mean, if there is no other place to sleep, I can sleep on the floor," I said, that was close, nice save. 
"Oh," Rainbow Dash said, looking down. "You can sleep anywhere you want Thunderclap," She added. With that, she left to her room, said ga' night, and closed her door.
By the gods that was awkward... I walked over to Rainbow Dash's room door, lay down near it just in case it opens and hits me, and lay my head down. Now, how will tomorrow turn out to be..? Then I fell asleep before I could think of any more.
