Caden's POV
"Huh? Where am I?" I thought, "Whoa, deja vu." My vision was blurry. I had to blink like 20 times until it finally cleared.
When my vision returned, I took in my surroundings. I was lying on a couch in a living room filled with various species of plants. I turned my head and instantly held it in pain. Someone had wrapped a white bandage around my head.
I swung my feet off of the side of the couch. Immediately I heard a chattering. I looked down and noticed a small white bunny staring back at me with a scowl. Apparently I put my foot down on his tail.
"Whoops, sorry!" I apologized. I carefully stood up, testing the strength of my legs. I wasn't going down like the first time. I've spent enough time on the ground as it is. Once I was sure that my legs could support my weight, I took a good look around.
Pictures and bookshelves lined the walls. I staggered over to a gold mirror to examine my head wound. In the center of the bandage was a large red stain. My head was bleeding.(Duh) I turned away from the mirror and went over to a shelf and scanned the titles. Ponypedia and Horseshoes Weekly were among the thousands of titles. I changed my attention to the walls, looking at all of the pictures.
One caught my eye. I faltered toward a beautifully framed picture. In the picture were 6 girls. One wore a white blouse and a checkered shirt with a pencil behind her ear. I guessed that she was Twilight Sparkle, most prized student to Princess Celestia. The next one wore a royal purple dress with three sky blue diamonds sewn onto the skirt. I recognized her as Rarity. There was Rainbow Dash dressed in track shorts and a rainbow tank top, Pinkie Pie(Do I really have to explain her outfit?), and Applejack dressed in a buffalo print shirt, blue jeans with the bottoms rolled up, and her Stetson. The last one was unmistakably Fluttershy. She wore a light pink top and a darker yellow skirt with her cutie mark sewn onto the skirt. her big, blue eyes were sparkling in the sun.
All of a sudden I heard footsteps coming down the stairs. I turned around to find Fluttershy staring at me. She said with a sigh, "It's good to see that you're awake."
"Yeah, I'm feeling better. Thanks." I responded. There was a long pause before either one of use said anything. To end the awkwardness, I spoke up and asked, "What happened, why do I have a bandage wrapped around my head, and how did I get here?" It was while before she answered.
"I ran to get help when you suddenly collapsed. I asked my friend Big MacIntosh to help me carry you back to my house. You landed on a rock and hit your head when you fell. You've been asleep for 2 hours. Did that answer all of your questions?"
"Yeah. Wow!" was all I could say. I was out for 2 hours. Then I suddenly remembered Bolt. "Did my dog follow us here?!"
"Yes. He's out back playing. I gave him some food and water and a place to sleep while he waited for you to wake up." she answered.
I took a sigh of relief. Bolt was OK and that's all that mattered.
Outside, Bolt was playing with Fluttershy's animals. Angel wasn't too thrilled with the new addition to the yard. Bolt, carefree as always, was chasing a butterfly when he heard a rustle in the bushes. A pair of glowing red eyes stared back at him. Bolt let out a deep growl and laid his ears back.
Inside, Fluttershy had made a pot of tea, and she and Caden sat down to chat.
"So." we said together. Fluttershy giggled. I just sat there staring at her.
"Uh, more tea?" she asked.
"Yeah, sure. Thanks." I said. She lifted the pot towards my cup.
Then there was a loud barking that without a doubt was Bolt. I jumped up and ran out the door with Fluttershy on my heels. What I saw was something I'll never forget.
