"Another beautiful day in Ponyvile." You tell yourself, opening the blinds and getting ready for the day ahead.
You're a human that lives in what you once thought was a seemingly impossible place to be albeit if the talking colorful horses wasn't enough to think you were going insane.
You seemed to have adjusted to this world pretty nicely. Being lonely was the least of your worries seeing that back on Earth you didn't have a lot of friends and the change from talking fleshy creatures to talking fur filled animals hasn't garnered you any popularity in that aspect.
You head out the door to start your inevitable day job that has you scraping by fairly well even if it's only so much bits that ponies would refer to your pay as "minimum wage" but it pays the bills so you aren't really complaining.
"Sweet Apple Acres. Oh how I have missed you." You say in a sarcastic tone as you approach the farm with seemingly endless trees of red and green delectables.
Applejack said she wouldn't be working on the farm for a bit because she has important business to attend to or as she put it "I'm goin' on vacation for a bit with Rainbow so I won't be able to help out on the farm with you and Big Mac for the time being, but I told Granny Smith to increase your pay to a couple percent higher while I'm away just as a way of sayin' sorry for me not bein' there to help with the heavy load."
"Well that was nice of her at least. She deserves it anyhow after all the hard work she puts in to her craft." You think to yourself reminiscing of the fact of how much of a hard worker she is.
Setting your thoughts aside you meet up with Big Mac and the two of you begin working. Planting tree's, bucking apples, or in your case picking them. It's a physical job for sure but easy enough.
Eventually the two of you go on break and you decide to take your regular walk in the never ending sea of trees that is Sweet Apple Acres.
"Phew only a few more hours and I can go home and rest." You think to yourself, taking in the vibrant but plain sight of nature that always seems to calm you down.
Though today would be different. On most day's you'd take a walk through the trees to just unwind and "let yourself go" as you would say.
But today was not most days. As you take in your surroundings you see what could only be described as a blue blob on top of a tree. Walking closer you can see that it is in fact a pony.
"A pony? Here? What on Celestia's green Earth is a pony doing on top of a tree all the way out in the middle of nowhere?"
With even closer examination you see that the blue pony is sleeping pretty soundly even though it looks like the most uncomfortable sleeping place a pony let alone someone like yourself could lay on. You try yelling to them to get their attention but they seem to be out good. You try yelling again this time almost breaking your vocal cords but end up realizing that if this continues you might seriously injure yourself.
You instead look for an object on the ground to throw and find a conveniently fallen branch not to far off from where the blue pony is sleeping.
Raising your hand you aim at the horse's back hoof and are ready to throw when "oh crap!"
Loosing your balance you lose grip on the stick that is now airborne and fall on your back to the soft blow of the green grass around you.
Upon hitting the ground you hear a "BONK" as well as a voice you could only make out as feminine echo a confused "ow!" back in your direction.
Getting up, you point your eyes towards where you heard the voice coming from only to realize that the voice you heard was that blue pony now rubbing her head from the pain you could only assume was inflicted by the flying stick.
"Oops." you mutter, surprised that for one you somehow managed to hit your target and two that it also missed the hoof completely and flew straight towards their head.
"Uh, hey." you say to the surprised and confused pony.
"I SAID I DON'T TASTE GOOD" the shocked pony that you now determine is female said.
"Sorry? I'm not going to eat you but you're uh kind of sleeping on a tree that also seems to be in the buck town middle of nowhere."
She looks in your direction, now relieved to see that whatever it was she was so afraid of is seemingly gone.
"Ahem." She clears her voice. "You dare wake 'The Great and Powerful Trixie' from her slumber?"
"...?" Confused you look at her with your mouth half opened before speaking. "Uh yah, like I said you're kind of on someone's property far out in the middle of nowhere. It'd help to know how and why you're here."
"Trixie doesn't need to explain anything to the likes of you. Especially since that someone struck her in the head with a rock!"
"It was a stick but ok." you mutter to yourself.
"Alright look, you're right, I don't really need or care for an explanation as to why a stray mare got herself stuck in some pony's tree, but if you need help I can go back to-"
"Help?" you're cut off abruptly. "Hmph. From you? As if. Trixie, 'The Great and Magnificent', can handle her own flank thank you very much. Now if you'll excuse me, I'll be leaving."
You watch for a brief moment of her 'testing the waters' so to speak, as she tries to find a pathway down to the ground, holding on and kicking and flailing the tree around her to find a good place to put her hoof next.
"Uhm. Ok suit yourself." You say to her, turning around and walking back in the direction you came from to start the second half of your shift.
-------*-------
Sometime passes until you and Big Mac see the sun starting to set and call out for the night.
"Alright Mac goodnight see ya whenever I'm working again." You tell him as you two exchange your usually goodbyes with the stallion of many words only saying a monotone but cheerful "Eyup." in response.
You try and start your walk home but for some reason... can't? Why not? You go down the same path every day with no hesitation, but now all of a sudden as if some force is telling you no, you just can't.
"Sigh, am I really doing this?" That mare. Why should you care anyways? It's not like you know her and if anything she seemed to not want your presence near her whatsoever. But still, something in you needs to know if she's ok, I mean it'd be on you if you were the last person to see her and she just went missing all of a sudden, right?
So you decide to head back to the lush apple trees and venture to where you last saw her. "Man where could she be? For all I know, maybe she was able to climb down safely and get out of here. God, what am I doing here? She's not any of my business and I'm not hers, so why then?" Thinking to yourself, you have doubts that she's even still here until...
"Oh no." Face planted on the ground you see the blue mare battered with dirt and scrapings all across her body. You begin to worry and try to wake her up but no response. Turning her over you lean on her vibrant blue furred chest to hear any heartbeat or soft breathing coming from her at all and are relieved to know that she is in fact alive.
"Oh thank Celestia." you say exhaling with calmness washing over you, but it still stands that there is a mare passed out on the grass that may be seriously hurt for all you know, you have to take her to a hospital.
Getting up from the ground, you cradle her in your arms gently as not to hurt her, and finally get a good look at her face. Minty blue mane, a soft round face, and a horn sat atop her head. You think to yourself of just how adorable she looks. "Ugh what am I doing? Now's not the time to start looking at girls faces, I need to get her to safety."
Walking out of the trees and onto the street, there isn't a pony in sight and it's almost dark out. You look up and see the sun hitting your eyes as you hope you'll be able to get her to care in time.
Seeing the hospital in your line of sight, you hurry inside to find a worker at the desk. "H-Hi *pant* *pant*." you're so worn out from running over here that you take a minute to catch your breath and start to talk once more.
"Pony *pant* hurt *pant* need doctor *pant* now."
The mare over the desk looks at you with a smile, and then gasps in shock at the unicorn you have clenched in your arms with a worried look on her face. She begins to speak.
"I'm terribly sorry but we're closed for the night."
"Closed?! There's no way the only hospital in Ponyvile is closed? Please, I found her on the ground like this and need to know if she's ok just..."
"I think it's time for you to leave sir."
"No this is ridiculous." You storm past the desk and run into the doors ahead. You hear her call security and know you don't have much time to find a doctor.
"Oh finally!" You call out relieved to see someone who can actually help.
"Oh hello sir, what brings yo-"
Paused in her speech she looks down to see the pony you are carrying and freezes up almost instantly.
"Please I just need your help to see if she's ok."
"I'm... sorry sir I can't attend to you right now."
"What? What is wrong with you ponies? Can't you see she's hurt?"
Loud footsteps come from behind as four stallions in uniform force you out of the building.
"Doctor please!" As you're being thrown out one more cry comes from your voice to help in your situation, but to no avail.
The two of you are thrown out without a word and you and the blue pony hit the ground with a thud as the stallions block entry way from the door waiting for you to leave the area.
"What is wrong with you ponies?! Can't you see she needs help!?" You say outraged getting up from the ground to head over to the mare that was dealt the same treatment as you were.
You cradle her once more and make way to your house where you'll hopefully be able to give her treatment by your own hands, as now it seems to be your only option; thinking of all the medical supplies you have access to, that can help in her condition.
