AN: still looking for some fan art out there if you have one for me to use as a cover, and of course i"ll give you credit
“So Dad,” I asked, “What’s it liked being dead?”
“What do you mean?” he replied.
“Well, how is heaven?”
“Well I’m not in heav-“
“SO WAIT YOU’RE IN HELL!?” I interrupted, “WHAT THE HELL DID YOU DO TO END UP IN HELL!?”
“IF YOU LET ME FINISH YOU WOULD KNOW I’M NOT IN HELL, ASS-MUNCH!” he shouted back, “When I died, I volunteered myself to watch over you and mom. I’ve been doing a pretty good job with you…” He paused, “And don’t worry about her. She’s doing much better now than she was before. In fact, she’s perfectly fine now.
“She is?” I replied in disbelief.
“She is.” He confirmed, “Well I’ve got to go now, I need to go see a special friend at the gates.”
“Is it an angel?” I asked
"Yeah, she’s an angel alright. Don’t worry, I’ll be back.”
“What about me?”
“You’re about to wake up soon. Oh and remember, don’t do anything I wouldn’t approve of, I’m always watching you.”
“Yo…you can see everything?” I asked with a concerned voice.
“I. SEE. EVERY. DIRTY. THING.” He said as he left.
He left me stunned, remembering every dirty thing I have ever done. Damn it, I thought to myself, I have done a LOT of things. Then I had a realization, “Did I just think inside my head….inside my head?” With that amount of mind fuck I just had to wake up.
________________________________________
I woke up only to be blinded by a bright light. I tried to use my right arm to cover my eyes, but something was keeping it from moving very far. I checked my left arm and found out it was free. As I covered my eyes from the light I checked to see what was holding my right arm. I saw a tube from my arm going up to an IV bag. Remembering I just got into a fight with a manticore I checked my wounds. I noticed that my chest was free of stiches, but my left side had a couple in it. As l looked around the room I notice a heart rate monitor to my right, that I was in two beds, and that the same orange pony I had met in the forest was sleeping on the couch. Next to her was a rack which held the hat that I wore. I felt bad that I ruined it by getting some blood on it.
The door opened and a white pony with pink mane and a nurse’s hat walked in. When our eyes met we stared at each other for what felt like hours, trying to make out what the other was. Our stare battle was broken up when a caramel colored unicorn with a brown mane, white coat, and glasses walked in saying, “Nurse Redheart can you plea-“ he noticed that I was awake and only stared for a few seconds, before he cleared his throat and said, “Good, you’re awake. Um…do you understand me?”
I nodded.
“Great, nurse can you please take down the patient’s personal information please?”
She nodded as the doctor walked out the door, and walked over to me with a chart in her mouth. She sat down and put the chart in her hoof and asked, “What is your name?”
“Daniel”
“My, that’s an unusual name, no offence. Er... how do you spell it?
“Um…” I was a little confused at first; no one has asked me how to spell my name. I replied “…d-a-n-i-e-l”
“Are you a colt or a mare?”
I’m confused, I think she was asking about my sex, “Um….male?”
“Do you have a penis or vagina?”
“P-penis”
“So you’re a colt.”
“Okay then.”
“Place of birth?”
“Orlando, Florida”
She look at my confused, “Where?”
“I…er…..next question please!”
“um…okay. One last question. Where do you live?”
“I think you and I both know I’m not from this world.”
“I agree, but where will you be staying from now on?”
“Crud I haven’t thought abou-“
“He’s gonna be staying with me.” Interrupted the orange pony.
“Wait, what?” I said stunned, having forgotten that she was even in the room.
“Yah’ll heard me; and Ah ain’t taking no fer an answer.”
“But I don’t even know you.”
“Names Applejack.” She said as she shook my hand with tremendous force. “If Ah heard right yer name is Daniel, right?” I nodded, “Ya saved mah life and I owe ya one. Besides, ya got nowhere else ta go.” She said with a grin.
This is the part where my pride usually steps in, but Applejack’s right; I have nowhere else to go. I looked at her and said, “Thank you for your generosity Miss Applejack.”
“It’s nothing, and please, don’t be afraid to call me AJ, yer mah friend now.”
I just stared off into space and thought to myself. This is the first time I’ve made a friend since dad died. This pony barely knows me and she is willing to take me into her home like that?
My thoughts were interrupted when nurse Redheart said, “Well, I think that’s it for now. I should be back soon with your food.” I thanked her as she left.
As she left two ponies walked in. One was the same purple unicorn who I floated over on the way to the hospital. The other was a white unicorn with a royal purple mane wearing blue mascara.
As I was about to greet them AJ said, “looky here Twi! Your guardian angel is awake.” The girls all laughed while I sat there confused. I then realized what I did while coming to the hospital and gave a stupid smile and blushed in embarrassment. AJ stopped laughing and said, “Just teasing you there Daniel. Ah would like you to meet two good friends of mine.”
The purple unicorn was the first to greet me. “Hello! My name is Twilight Sparkle”, she said as I shook her hoof. I thought to myself, she shares the same name with the book about gay vampires and werewolves. She continued, “I am Princess Celestia’s faithful student and the librarian here in Ponyville.”
I thought to myself, I guess in this world they have monarchs. It might help to set up a meeting with the princess to see if I can get a way back home.
As I finished my thought I said to Twilight, “Well you seem to know a lot about everything.” She nodded, “How about a deal?” I asked, “If you tell me everything about this world, I’ll tell everything about mine when I get out. Deal?”
When I finished her eyes went wide and she screeched in joy. She started asking questions in a rapid fire pace, “OHMYCELESTIAWHEREAREYOUFROMDOESEVERYONELOOKLIKEYOUWHATDOYO-“I was about to place my hand over her mouth but the white unicorn beat me to it.
“You must calm down darling.” Said the white unicorn in a fancy accent. “You’re starting to sound like Pinkie Pie. Remember what he said? ‘when he gets out’” I nodded to Twilight. Twilight blushed and gave an embarrassed smile.
“Don’t worry about it Miss Sparkle. I’m just as excited to know about this world as you are about mine.” I assured her.
“I bet,” said Twilight, “and please, call me Twilight or Twi for short.”
“Will do” I said before turning to the white unicorn. “My name is Daniel, and you are…?”
“Ah yes where are my manners. I am Rarity, a fashion designer at the Carousel Boutique here in town. I am looking forward to designing clothes for a new species.”
“Thank you,” I said, “but I think I’m happy with the clothes I ha-WHAT AM I WEARING?” I look down on to my body noticing that I’m wearing what looks like two pony gowns sowed into one, the sleeves on my arms only go a bit past my shoulder, and six extra sleeves dangling down from my body.
All the girls laughed except for Rarity, who stood there in shock, and said, “I simply can not let a crime against fabulosity go uncorrected!” she went outside in to the hallway and asked one of the nurses for my clothes.
I asked her, “What are you going to do with my clothes? They are probably torn to a point where I can’t wear them.”
“Exactly,” Rarity said, “I’m going to use them to get a jump start on designing your clothes. I can use them for measurement.”
Before I could say anything, nurse Redheart came in to the room with my bag of clothes on her body and a tray of food in her mouth. She gave the bag to Rarity and the tray to me. The tray had salad, two slices of toast, and a cup of jello. I thought to myself, since these are ponies I guess they don’t eat meat and I feel like it would be a bad idea if I asked for some. Looks like I’m going to be a vegetarian while I’m here… damn I’m gonna miss bacon.
Then the same caramel colored pony that I first saw with nurse Redheart walked in and said, “Hello! I am Dr. Stable and I am here to remove your stiches.”
I looked at him confused and said, “Already? Didn’t I just get here?”
“um… how long do you think you’ve been here?
“I don’t know, a couple of hours?”
“Five days.”
“FIVE DAYS!”
“You were quite lucky. You lost a lot of blood, and if these mares hadn’t gotten you here in time, you would’ve died for sure.”
I sat there in shock just thinking how lucky I was. These girls came into the forest, not knowing if I'm alive, to save me. A single tear came down my right eye as I said in a shaken voice, “Thank you.”
AJ said, “aint nothing, sugercu-“
“NO,” I interrupted, “you risked everything. You ran into the forest to save some creature whom you’ve never seen before. You could’ve ran into the same manitcore eating me and would’ve done the same thing to you.”
AJ said, “We didn’t care about that. We knew you were in danger. I regret leaving you there. I wish it was me instead of yo-“
“Don’t you dare!” I yelled, “Everyone here knows if you faced that manticore you would’ve died.”
AJ stood there with her mouth open trying to find something to say. She knew she had lost this argument. The only thing she said was, “Well any other pony would’ve done the same thing.”
I snickered and said, “I wish I could say the same for humans.”
Before any of the girls could say anything my eyes went wide. I had a feeling like I haven’t pissed in ages. I asked for the bathroom and they pointed to the door next to the entrance of the room. I freed myself from the heart monitor, grabbed the poll holding my IV, and jumped out of bed. Of course I haven’t walked for five day, so the second I stood up I fell down. Dr Stable, who was next to me when I fell, helped me get back up. I weakly walked to the to the bathroom door. When I opened it I found a cannon with a pink pony, with pink poofy hair, behind it and yelled, “SURPRISE!!!” she fired the cannon hitting me with a mixture of confetti, balloons, and cake. The force of the blast knocked me on my ass,thank god I'm able to hold my piss or this would’ve been a bigger and wetter mess. The pink pony came up to me with a huge smile as I thought to myself, so this is how I die, covered in cake and confetti by a crazy pink pony.
Then Twi yelled, “Pinkie Pie what are you doing!?”
The crazy pink pony, who I assume is Pinkie Pie, turned to her and said, “Throwing a surprise party for my new friend who saved AJ, duh.” She then turned to me and said in a rapid fire pace like Twi before her, “didyouseeyourfaceyoushouldveseenyoufaceiwaslike'SURPISE'andyouwerelike*gasp*andthenyoufelltotheground. SodidisurpriseyoudIdIdIdIdI?”
I just sat there shocked. Too many things were going through my head like, what just happened, what is she saying, and am I gonna die?
Pinkie looked at me and giggled, “Yep you were surprised alright, I can see it in your face.” As she walked away.
Twilight lend me her hoof to help me get up. “Sorry about Pinkie Pie. She loves to meet new poni…er.”
“People in my case” I informed her.
“Thank you. She means well and she loves to see everyone happy”
I thanked her when I got up and went into the bathroom. When I got in I was thankful there was running water, though the toilet was a bit odd. I still managed to make it work.
I walked out of the bathroom and I wanted to talk to Pinkie. “Hey Pink…” she was nowhere to be found, “…where did sh-“
“I'm up here” Pinkie interrupted with her head coming from the ceiling.
Her antics surprised me and knocked me on my ass again. She giggled as her head went back into the ceiling and somehow ending up in front of me with the same huge smile on her face.
Shocked on how she did that, I asked, “h…how did you do th-“
“Don’t question it” Twilight said stone-faced.
“Ookkaayy,” I said slowly as I got back up and turned back to Pinkie and continued, “How about we have a party after I leave here?”
She gasped, “OHMYCELESTIATHAT’SAGREATIDEA!!!” And then she ran out of the room.
I turned and looked at the rest of the ponies. Twilight, Applejack, and Dr Stable were still there, but Rarity was nowhere to be found.
“Where’s Rarity?” I asked
“She went to make you some fancy new clothes.” Applejack answered.
“Uh oh, fancy and I don’t mix well.”
“Don’t worry, Rarity always knows what’s best.” Twilight assured me
“If you say so.” I said a little worried.
Dr Stable approached me and said, “Now let’s remove those stiches.” He then went about the process of removing my stitches, and left soon after finishing. As I went to my bed I heard some noises from outside the building.
“Watch it Derpy don’t get in my- WOAH!” screamed a familiar voice. Then a blue object with a rainbow streaking from her head crashed through the window, flew between Twilight and AJ, and crashed into my chest with tremendous force, knocking me out.
