I think my brain broke because for the longest time I sat there with eyes wider than a baseball and mouth hanging open.
I looked around me, trying not to reawaken the pain that was just coursing through every fiber of my body. To my left stood a small lavender equine with a horn and wings. It's mane and tail were a dark purple with two different shades of purple stripes going through them. Standing behind her across the room was five other horses, all different colors with different mane and tail styles. I noticed there was another horse that had a horn and two others had wings.
I guess I had dazed off trying to take in every detail of the room incase I had to make my escape because the purple horse next to me waved her hand...hoof...in front of my face. I snapped out of my trance and looked at her, trying my hardest to keep my composure and not run screaming from the room and towards the nearest asylum.
"Hello, my name is Princess Twilight Sparkle. I would like to welcome you to Ponyville but first, are you able to understand me?" When I heard her high voice I could tell it was a female. I was unable to speak at the moment so I merely nodded in response. "Great, this makes things much more easy for us!" She clapped her hooves together, somehow not falling face first into the wooden floor. I blinked several times rapidly and slapped my face, trying to wake up. There was a loud, audible sound of skin on skin as my hand made contact with my face. I grunted and rubbed the cheek, which I was sure had turned red. "So let me be the first to welcome you to Ponyville! If you wouldn't mind answering some questions we can get you out of here in a jiffy!" I looked deep into her eyes, my face going completely stone cold and blank. She visibly shrank down a little bit. The ruler of horses was afraid of me, great...
I was sure I was placed under hallucinogenic substances and was currently in an enemy base, being tortured and possibly bleeding from the shrapnel that went through me. Instead she was asking be about the, mostly, non-personal information of my life and the human race. "What race are you? What is your diet? What are your mating habits? Can you use those digits at the end of your arms for holding anything?" I answered the best I could to the bombardment of questions I was being asked until I heard a soft voice speak up, asking the princess to slow down a bit but it didn't seem like she heard it.
"Excuse me Princess Sparkle?" I stopped her, trying to remain polite. "You can just call me Twilight, there's no need for formalities. Is there a problem?" I nodded and pointed to the yellow winged equine behind her before letting my arm fall down, I still hadn't regained all of my energy. "Oh, I'm sorry Fluttershy I guess I got kind of caught up in studying him hehe...Did you need something?" I saw the one known as Fluttershy shrink a little from the attention she had gained. "U-um...I think you need to slow down a little bit. He seems to be struggling to keep up with all the questions..." I smiled at her. I could tell already she was the caring kind of person...pony...
"Oh I'm so sorry Mr...sorry I didn't catch your name, what was it?" She asked me with a blush forming on her face. "Fredrick Van Myer, it's a pleasure to meet you and your...friends I assume?" She nodded and looked out the window with a slight jump. "Oh no! We're going to be so late! Come on girls let's get Mr. Myer checked out of this hospital so he can meet Celestia." There was a group agreement and a small laugh from the blue flying pony with rainbow hair. The princess left the room to speak with the doctor and returned after a moment with a smile on her face. "Alright Fredrick are you ready to meet Celestia? She's the main ruler of Equestria with her sister Luna by the way." I nodded and slowly got out of bed with a grunt. Looking down I saw I was butt-naked and pulled the blanket over my lower half. After asking all the little creatures left the room to wait for me in the hallway I stood up uneasily and got dressed in my army uniform, desert camo covering me head to toe. I picked up my bag of guns that had been placed in the chair next to the window and walked out, helmet under arm and bag strapped over my shoulder.
"Let's roll." I said excitedly before walking out the door and hitting my head on the door facing, falling on my butt. I heard another muffled laugh come from the annoying Pegasus flying above the others. I stood up with a groan and recollected my weapons that had fallen out of the duffel bag. I noticed Twilight eye it with suspicion but decided to ignore it. Soon I had been checked out and was on my way towards meeting the ruler of the strange land I ended up in. I instantly regretted getting inside the carriage. When everyone was in, half the girls had to get in another carriage because of my size, the Pegasi took off, jerking my head back from the force. I screamed out as we began flying towards a large city connected to the side of a mountain.
When we arrived I was clinging to the side of the carriage. The others got out like nothing had happened. Slowing my breathing and heartbeat down to normal I stepped out and crouched, almost tempted to kiss the ground. Twilight walked over next to me and placed a hoof on my shoulder, getting me to turn my head towards her. "Are you alright Fredrick? Have you never flown before?" I nodded, finally catching my breath. "I've flown before, just never in an open carriage." She nodded knowingly and went back to her friends so I could finish recuperating. Once I stood up the group walked ahead, showing me the way to the castle so I could meet the ruler of imaginary horses.
When we arrived at the castle the guards stopped us and asked to search my bag. I reluctantly agreed and they looked through my guns and glared at me. After a ten minute lecture on what a gun was and why I needed it for self defense, they allowed me to take my handgun in. I glared back at the two equines poking at the bag with their spears before the gates shut.
I followed the six ponies down a long set of hallways that lead to a fancy-looking set of doors.
