'...Ow...'
That was the first conscious thought that ran through the mind of Amias as he finally woke up from his self induced crash.
'Oh my head...'
Amias noticed two things. One, he wasn't on a cold hard slightly damp floor anymore. It felt soft and cozy and all that good stuff, it was a bed...
And two, he couldn't see.
'Crap, crap, CRAP! Please tell me I didn't blind myself!'
As he was in mid panic, the sound of hooves came closer and closer to his location.
"Oh my, your awake!"
Amias stopped his panicking for a second to focus on the voice that just spoke...and that is a feat in it of itself, because one does not simply stop panicking.
The voice very soft, soothing almost. It was OBVIOUSLY female.
'HOW many girls am I going to meet here!? I've literally only met three guys in this world!'
"Don't worry my little human-" Amias felt a very cold chill run down his spine for some apparent reason "your safe here in my home, the mean ponies that did this to you and your friends are all in jail now. And since your so special, they want you to stay with me so I can help you heal."
'...It worked...it actually worked.'
*growl*
His thoughts are interrupted by his stomach, that has been severely neglected for two weeks.
"Oh dear, you must be starving! I'll go get you some soup."
She left Amias to go fetch him some food. When she was gone, Amias finally calmed down enough to notice the the strange pressure on his eyes.
'They must have bandaged my eyes because they were bleeding...'
Amias breathed a sigh of relief when he figured that out, then he yawned. He took off the bandages over his eyes.
'Being passing out isn't the same as falling asleep...man I'm sleepy.'
Suddenly, Amias's nose caught a VERY alluring scent. It was good to know that the food you are smelling is going to be eaten by you, and not going being fed to someone else.
His mouth started watering and his stomach felt like it was doing sit-reps to warm up for the food. The yellow pony came back with the most DELICIOUS looking bowl of soup he has ever seen. In retrospect ANY edible substance would look amazing after two weeks of no food. Hell, he even gave that old bag of goo he found in the caravans 'human section' some pretty hungry looks after five days.
"I know how hungry you are, but you have to-..." Fluttershy saw Amias's face, it was littered with leftover soup, and he was looking to the side with his cheeks puffed up with what most likely was soup that he didn't have time to swallow yet "...pace yourself." Fluttershy giggled when she looked at his face again "wow, your a sneaky one, aren't you? You even took the bandages off."
The sound of Amias swallowing the rest of the soup was his response. Fluttershy took a wet rag that she apparently had hidden somewhere and started to clean his face.
"The doctor said that your eye's would be all healed by time time you wake up...but it looks like you need your sleep, don't you?" She said as she saw Amias's had a really hard time staying awake.
'Man...I never noticed how cold it is...'
'"Oh dear, your shivering! Now you just rest your sleepy head and I'll go to my friend to see if she can make you some clothes." She gently push Amias back into the seductive embrace of the blankets, he didn't resist. She kissed him on the forehead and tucked him in, she left the room and closed the door behind her...
'I feel like a five year old...oh wait.'
Amias quickly fell asleep.
As Fluttershy closed the door of the humans room...she couldn't help but let a tear run down her face...
The human was much smarter than an average human. When he took the bowl of soup without her noticing, and the expression on his face when she realized it took the soup...
The human reminded her so much of Angel Bunny...his mother died after she gave birth to him, so she practically raised him as her own son. When she was wiping his messy face because he ate the soup so quickly, when she tucked him in...she distinctly remembers many occasions when she did the exact thing with Angel...
'I take care of animals besides this human and I still don't get this...heartache. Why do I feel this way with only this human? I know he's special in a way but...why him?'
She shook her head to get the her thoughts under control, she had to see if Rarity would make some warm clothes for the human. Winter started yesterday (yeah, it happens) and she didn't want her human-
'Did...I just think of it as my human?...'
She was shocked that she felt like that in the 3 days the human was here, after tending it's unconscious body...she grew attached to the human. She loves all the little critters that she cares for, but...this one feels special for some reason.
'I better go to Rarity before I lose my train of thought again.'
Fluttershy left her house and began the trek towards Rarity's boutique. The air was a little nippy, even for a pegasus like herself. Granted she didn't stay in the air much like a certain rainbow haired friend of hers, or an average pegasus really. For her it didn't escalate to needing to put on a jacket or something, but to a human, this is really cold temperature.
"Hay there Fluttershy!" Said a voice from behind the mare. She 'eeped' and looked behind her.
"Oh, hello Applejack..."
"Sorry if'n ah scared ya, but I was gonna buy the seasons feed for the animals at the farm. And I happened ta stumble on tah you! Anyhow, hows that human a yours been doing?"
The moment Fluttershy was asked about something pertaining to animals...well you know.
"Oh, he's dong fine. Just woke up today...although after I fed him he fell right back to sleep again. I'm going over to Rarity's to see of I can get him some clothes for the winter."
"Your...going tah buy tha human PJ's?"
Fluttershy blushed a bit "well...if you word it like that, yes...is that bad?"
"No not at all sugarcube, ah know that humans don't have a coat of hair like we do...actually, I'm a might curious as tah what this human looks like, if'n its alright with you."
"Okay, when I'm done with Rarity...would you like to come with me to see him...if it doesn't take up to much of your time that is..."
"Well, sure! See ya! I'll meet ya over at your house when ahm done with tha feed."
They went their separate ways and Fluttershy went towards Rarity's boutique. The bell chime signaling that the door has been opened announced Fluttershy's arrival.
"Just a second~." said a very posh voice from inside the shop. The the white fashionista herself came to address the pony who came into her shop.
"Welcome to the Cara- oh hi Fluttershy! To what may I owe this visit darling?"
"Ummm...well you know that caravan of humans that came about a week ago?"
"Yes, darling. Nasty business that, those poor humans."
Fluttershy looked a little down.
"Yeah...well, there was this special human that...intrigued the scientists at Canterlot, but the doctors suspect it didn't have the best life. So they gave him to me to give it some TLC before they take a look at it."
Fluttershy started to kick the ground, and avoid eye contact "and...I was wondering if you could make him warm clothes for when he's sleeping?"
Awkward silence...
"You want me... to make Pajama's...for an animal?"
"Oh your right... it's a silly idea...I should-"
"BRILLIANT!"
The sudden outburst caused Fluttershy take refuge under Rarity's coffee table. Rarity blushed.
"Terribly sorry my dear, I was just excited at the possibilities of what you just suggested! NOPONY by my recollection dabbles in making humans clothes! Basic insulation, maybe, but not actual FASHION! My dear I would be ABSOLUTELY DELIGHTED to help that poor human look as fabulous as it can!"
"But...ummm."
"Ah yes, we'll deal with that 'warmth' thing too."
Fluttershy looked at Rarity in horror.
"Oh my, that sounded terribly cold-"
"No pun intended. You actually caught me at a very good time, I just finished an order and my schedule is cleared up for the day."
"Oh, that's wonderful...Applejack wanted to see the human too, so she'll be joining us-"
Fluttershy is interrupted by the sound of a door opening and a filly falling to the ground with an audible
*thump*
"...Sweetie Belle, what did I tell you about eavesdropping?"
The filly know as Sweetie Belle stood up from the position on her floor. "I'm sorry Rarity, but...I'm was just curious about this human your talking about...I was gonna ask you if I could go with you."
Rarity thought about it for a second.
"Sweetie Belle, did you do your homework today?"
"Yes."
"Did all your chores?"
"Yes."
"Clean out the gutters?"
"Yes."
"Repaint the living room?"
"Yes."
"Alphabetize the sowing machines?"
"Yes."
"Bring in that bucket of steam?"
"Yes."
"Replace the roof shingles?"
"Yes."
"Get that decorative glass hammer on that precariously unstable mount over the most busy part of the boutique?"
"Yes."
"...I suppose you can, but be on your best behavior, this human from what I've heard has been through a lot. Okay dear?"
"YAY!"
Amias woke up with a start. The sleep has done wonders for him, but he can't seem to stay asleep for some reason.
'Might just be that I'm hungry.'
Amias contemplated the risk of standing up and looking for the kitchen. If the mare that that lived in this house were to see him...he really doesn't know what would happen. His stomach felt like it was constantly uppercutting him in the throat, so he decided to just go look around for something to eat.
'Wow...this house feels...humble. Nothing like mine back home...man I miss clothes.'
Before he left the room he was in, he took the sheet he was sleeping with and covered himself with it.
'Ahhh, college...I haven't worn a toga in years.'
He walked through the house, admiring the beautiful simplicity of the house. It felt very 'homey' for some odd reason, he felt comfortable here.
'Man, I could seriously see myself living a life here...why is that?'
His thoughts are rudely interrupted by another wrenching feeling in his stomach.
'Oh yeah, food.'
The size of the home really weighed in his favor, he found the kitchen in about 5 minutes. Though the length of the time needed to find the kitchen could be the fact that he was being gawked at and touched by random animals that happen to live here also.
'Please God let it not be a crazy animal lady...well the fact that it doesn't smell like crap here goes in her favor.'
He looked around to see the fridge, smaller and closer to the ground then fridges back in his house...his fridge though, was a behemoth.
"Alright, lets see what you got in here..."
Vegeta-bles, copious amounts of Vegeta-bles. Amias ground in frustration.
'I understand why because she's a pony and all but DAMNIT I'M A MAN! I NEED MY B12! PROTEIN! MEAT! CARNE! SOMETHING THAT ONCE HAD A FACE! I WANT A GODDAMN AMERICAN CHEESEBURGER WITH FRIES AND A DOCTOR PEPPER!'
Amias was fed up with the constant veggies he had to endure during his 'stay' here in Equestria. He dug deeper into the fridge until he found something that peaked his interest.
It was a jar of blue jelly. And there was a picture of a stallion covered in jelly and smiling...and looking straight at him.
"'Hue Jelly'...well that isn't creepy."
Amias was afraid that the guy on the jar was going to burst out and scare the crap out of him, but his hunger overpowered his fear. He found bread and peanut butter in the cupboards above the sink, his mouth was watering at the mere thought of creating a PB&J.
'Even when I'm in a different world, I can still make myself a PB&J...yes.'
He took three slices of bread from the bag the held it, opened the peanut butter jar and found a butter knife in the drawer next to the sink. Making sure to not get his 'toga' dirty with any peanut butter. He...slowly opened the jar of jelly, and thankfully, a jelly covered psychopath didn't erupt from the jar and start slathering him in jelly.
"Thank God, I don't think I could take that..."
He smeared the jelly on the other piece of bread and put them together, then he started with the third piece. He smeared peanut butter on that one and spread jelly on the top of the sandwich he already made.
He eyed his masterpiece for a second, before picking it up, and taking that first bite...
He could hear the angles sing, more specially he heard this.
He started crying, this was the most delicious sandwich he has ever eaten. Sure that soup was good, but this sandwich...this. Sandwich.
Rufus Wainwright was singing his heart out in his mind, the tears picked up in speed. He slowly savored the delicious sandwich he with his bare hands created-
"GASP!"
Amias slowly turned his head around to see the yellow mare that owns this house, an orange regular pony with with a stetson on, a white unicorn, and a smaller white unicorn next to her. Their mouths where so low that he feared they would swing in the breeze.
Amias swallowed the bite he had in his mouth, and bit into his sandwich again.
