As I awoke once more I had a blast of deja vu, I was in Twilights library, house, tree thing with a pounding headache. 'This has to stop' I thought to myself. As I rose I regretted it as my headache was worse than I thought and I was tired from the injury. ' Wow whoever hit me had a real hard kick, must be AJ or Dash'. " Hello" I shouted, I was quite tired of being left out of the know by now and I wanted answers. " Hold on dude ill be up in a second" 'Spike, good, someone I can get an honest answer from'.
As Spike entered the room he took one look at my bandages and cringed, but he managed to put on a reassuring smile and said " So how you holding up". " Oh you know, a concussion here and there no big deal, but I would like some answers as to how I ended up in this situation".

That's when I felt really bad. Spike looked up at me with the saddest eyes I have ever seen. He opened his mouth but ran off before I could even get an answer. At this point I couldn't decide on being sad or angry. Sad on account that something happened that involved people being sad and me being with out a clue. The anger was from being in the dark for so long.
" What the hells going on here" I screamed at the top of my lungs. I'm pretty sure I gained a curious look to Twilights tree from that,  even if I couldn't see them. And I heard the flutter of wings and a startled pegasus starting to fly away. " Hold it" I commanded " Get your ass in here right now". A very sullen looking Fluttershy hovered in as well as a Rainbow Dash, who looked like a scolded child, followed close behind. " Yes Greg" they replied.

" I want answers and I want them now"

" Umm, well, I dont know if, oh Greg Im so sorry" Fluttershy said whilst leaping onto my chest sobbing. Okay now I was just confused to all fuck. I was laying in Twilights spare bed, with bandages, and a crying yellow pegasus on my chest. " Uhh Dash, mind giving me an answer" I asked. " Umm are you sure you want to know". " Of course I want to know" I yelled, startling Dash an sending Fluttershy into another fit of sobbing. " Okay then".

Rainbow Dash then proceeded to tell me about how she was flying over Ponyville and heard a commotion near the forests edge and she decided to see what it was. When she arrived to the scene there was a very shocked Applejack with an unconscious Greg witth Fluttershy bearing over hi. She then held the pegasus back snapping her out of her angry friend protecting stupor. After Flutttershy got pulled off, she began to tear up looking at the slightly mangled human. Applejack then explained that they were just training together and that it all was a big misunderstanding. After hearing this Shy( its easier than Fluttershy) started sobbing harder and flew off to her hut with Dash close behind.

After Dash stopped explaining I just sat there stunned. Fluttershy, the kind timid creature that wouldn't hurt a mosquito, had effectively knocked me out and pummelled me. Granted she had her moments of courageousness, like standing up to a dragon. But she didn't beat the stuffing out of it, even though she could if needed to. All I could mutter was a small " wow".
I looked down to Shy who was still soaking my shirt with tears, I realized I couldn't be mad at her, she was just trying to protect her friend from a alien who arrived just a week ago. ' Wow I need to stop making my self seem like the bad guy here' I thought.

I then started coaxing her by petting her. When she looked up at me with puffy eyes I just embraced her. " Its okay Shy, im not mad, you were just trying to protect your friends and that's nothing to be ashamed of. I also doesn't help that im this big scary alien guy which you've only met a week ago, I'm not mad Shy I hope you wont beat yourself up to bad for this, your an amazing pony".

And with that I spent the next 20 minutes with a sobbing pegasus on my chest with a very approving look from a certain colourful maned mare across the room from me.
