A little after that crash course in Human anatomy I inadvertently gave to pony Moe, Larry and Curly (AJ, Dash, and who'd ya think? Pinkie), I was resting on a long low bench, towel still wrapped around my waist,  with a cup of soap foam, scissors a straight razor and a mirror on a table next to me. 

It took a little discussion and arrangement to get the razor as the only place that ponies would need such a thing is the hospital. Thankfully Luna and the girls were quite helpful. 

I hummed softly to myself as I started hacking away the heavy brush that had been crawling up my cheeks like Kudzu for the last two weeks.

Rarity was soaking in a mud bath wrapped in seaweed, cucumbers over her eyes, Interestingly enough Luna was doing the same. the rest were arranged around the room, Twilight, AJ and Fluttershy were soaking their hooves, Dash and Pinkie were near, Pinks had gone back to being her usual bouncy self, but I have to admit, Embarrassed Pinkie is absurdly cute. Every time Dash looked in my direction I noticed her blue muzzle turn pinkish.

Twilight was going over her notes, "You mentioned driving, What did you mean by that?"

I blinked, "Oh right,  I was in my car, heading to the meet."

"What's a car?"

I paused, realization smacking me in the face "my car... Oh crap. "

Luna tilted her head magicking one of the cucumber slices up so she could see. "What's wrong Ced?"

I reach up and lightly touch the line on my scalp that I discovered when I had first woke up, "Well I can only assume given the damage I had taken that I had been in an accident, and that my car's somewhere out there, hopefully in at least one major piece."

Luna starts, "That would explain the report my sister received of a strange event in the Whitetail Woods. The guards were informed of a loud boom, and investigated. After two days they found a strange black carriage tangled in dense brush. Per their Sergeant's orders it's been stored in a in a barn nearby until it can be investigated further."

"You found my car?" I breathe a sigh of relief.

AJ looks up, "That thing is yers? Those guards stuck that thing in one of the outbarns at Sweet Apple Acres. Ah mean ah appreciate the bits offerred to store it, but it's so big ah cain't use that barn fer nuthin else!"

I nod, "Well I hope it wasn't damaged too badly. If it's ok with you ladies, I really need to check it out, I have a couple changes of clothes in the trunk, my sca armor, my tool chest, cooler and... My laptop computer!" I grin and then wince, "I really hope that wasn't damaged. I may be able to give you a taste of my world. I just hope it made the trip." 

I swear I saw Twilight brighten up about three shades, "Is that one of those computers you mentioned that has the library?!" She grins, and bounces on her hooves, splashing the stuff she'd been soaking in on the floor, "Eeeee!  Oops!" She blushes.

Dash chuckles, "That's our egghead!" 

Luna giggles softly, "I'll let my sister know, I'm sure she'd be interested in meeting you, and seeing something of your world."

I lather up my cheeks and throat, a little excited now that I realize I can take stock of what I really had. I unfold the razor, and cautiously begin shaving, not having used a straight razor before. 

*nick* "ow!" *grumble*

I finish the process trimming down to the Van Dyke style I prefer. 

Meanwhile, the rest complete their spa treatments. 

Aloe(blue) comes up with a large bundle of cloth on her back, "Your cloak is clean, sir, as well as the rest of your clothes, Zey could not get ze stains out of your ozer clothes, and zere are many holes in zem, but zey are ready for you."

I smile to her, "Thank you, miss...?" 

"Lotus blossom" She smiles.

I stand, err sit, corrected.

"Thank you miss Lotus Blossom, You have a wonderful spa. I feel like a new man."

She blushes, "Thank you Zedric.", and then sets the bundle next to me.

I get up and jump in the shower, having to bend down quite a bit to fit, but I wash the stray clippings off and use the stall as a changing room, I don my boxers, pants, shirt, and boots wrapping the lot with my cloak, tightening the belt around my waist.

Finally I meet up with Luna, and the mane 6 in the lobby of the Spa.

Rarity comes up to me, and I kneel down, "How are you?"

Rarity smiles, "I feel so much better!" She primps her mane and flicks her tail, "You look better too."

I nod, "Thank you, I don't know how I can repay you"

Rarity fixes me with those large blue orbs, "You already have, my hero. " 

I blush and gently scratch behind her ear.

She giggles softly, reaching up with a hoof to hug my arm.

The rest of the girls are watching, Fluttershy emit's a soft "Aww."

"Get your claws off her, monster!" I hear a rough voice say... Aww crap.

*FWOOSH!* My world is suddenly wrapped in green flames and pain.

"SPIKE! NO!!" is the last thing I hear before hitting the floor.
