The gathered mares surrounded the recently fainted human, a look of concern crossing some faces, while some looked a bit confused.
"We gotta stop these- um... What are you called again?" Twilight said as she looked a bit peeved at the most recent unconscious human and looked John.
"Sapiens," John turned to Twilight "Homo Sapiens."
"Okay, as I was saying, we he gotta stop these homo sapie-"
"You can call us humans, if that's fine with you." John grinned sheepishly and Twilight tensed down and looked at the floor, a tad flushed.
"Stop these humans from fainting," She gestured a hoof towards Tom. "they might get ill from hitting the floor too many times..."
"Hey! Hitting the floor is not a cause of illness," Pinkie said as they all looked at her "when you hit the floor very hard though is a cause of a concussion." Pinkie grinned innocently.
"Okay..." John said awkwardly. "We might need a bed or a resting place for them though, we're gonna have a hell of a time explaining!"
"Watch your tongue," Rarity said, trotting up to John "we have young ones in the building." She gestured a hoof to the stairs where a small purple dragon laid with a blanket.
'Spike? Well, I better play dumb... Note to self: Always survey any room you wake up in, and don't say cuss words.' John looked at the sleeping dragon and back at the gathered mares.
Pinkie Pie was poking Pam's shirt with a face of confusion and wonder. Fluttershy just stood by a bookshelf on the far side of the room, also looking at the humans with wonderment. Applejack lowered her offered hoof and trotted next to John and held out the same hoof, he shook the hoof and found that their fur were extremely fluffy. Savoring the moment, he tried saving the feeling he had into his brain, but alas, one cannot experience such good delight without experiencing it first-hand. Rainbow Dash followed Pinkie Pie in poking one of the unconscious humans.
The remaining mares then turned their attention towards John and smiled gingerly. They all introduced themselves, with Pinkie hugging him tightly after her introduction.
"So... what's next?" asked John, cursing his mind for forgetting that feeling of warmth.
"Well, I have already written a letter to the princess..." Twilight said with a slight reluctance in her voice.
"Princess... who?" John sat down cross-legged, looking at the lavender unicorn. 'I'm surprised I could keep this up.'
"Oh! Sorry, I haven't introduced you to the two rulers of this land; Princess Celestia, and Princess Luna, with the former being the mover of the sun and the latter being the mover of the moon and stars."
"Oh... well that's pretty cool. Are they gods or something?" He turned all his attention towards the unicorn's answer. It's not everyday you hear the truth straight from the horse's mouth, pun intended by the way.
"Well, technically speaking, they are the strongest of all the pony races, they're alicorns. Alicorns are known to display kindness and understanding towards their kingdom, as well as being able to harness the magic of the three pony races. From the descriptions, you may see them as gods, but they still have feelings towards everypony equally.." she said matter-of-factly.
'Ooh, so that's how Twilight perceives the two... wait, there are four alicorns, why isn't she a-... Oh god. WE GOT SENT TO THE PAST!'
John was pacing around the room, his mind conjuring up explanations about what has happened, and with slight clarity can he understand it due to The Doctor's warning.
'Well, it looks like the gang got transported to the past... wait, is this past following the show's events, or is it a different timeline with similar events? Man, this time thingy is wearing me out...' He turned to the group of mares and asked "Would it be much of a bother if you help me get them into bed? Or even a blanket would suffice. They might need it if they somehow had a breakdown..." He gestured at the unconscious humans lying on the floor.
"Sure!" Pinkie answered enthusiastically. "There are extra blankets in the storage room down in Sugarcube Corner!"
"Well, looks like I'll be the first human to take a first glimpse of Ponyville." John said in a proud, yet monotone voice.
"Wait, did we ever tell you that we're in Ponyville?" asked Applejack.
"Not really, no..." John started looking around the room to find something that has Ponyville in it. "I saw it from that map," He pointed at a map tacked on the wall "it had the name Ponyville in it, so I figured..."
"You're telling the truth... but there's something you ain't letting us on..." Applejack stared at him with a glare.
"I have told the tr-"
"Hey weird human guy!" Pinkie cut him off "Let's go!"
"Hey! My name's John!" He started walking towards Pinkie, but Applejack still glared at him for a whole minute as he turned around.
"I'm watching you." She made a "I'm watching you" gesture with her hoof and then he and Pinkie went off to Sugarcube Corner.
'What's up with that guy?' Thought Applejack as she saw one of the humans stir.
"I wanna ride the flogerjsht..." mumbled Tom. His eyes flew open and he groggily sat up. "I had a dream about Applejack trying to shake hooves with me..." He looked at the gathered mares and smiled with delight. "I am!" He stood up and quickly shook hooves with Applejack, who returned the favor.
"Well, might fine that you woke up Mister Sleepy-pants," she poked a hoof at his chest. "we need some extra help to make sure that the humans won't get a breakdown or something."
"Sure," He smiled "anything for a friend."
