A Whole New World

Chapter 4: Hospital Days

Pain. That was the first thing I felt when I started to wake up. Somehow it was not as bad as earlier. Maybe the owner of those ponies found me and helped me as a thank you. I moved my fingers to make sure that I could still move, then I heard voices.

"Doctor, he's becoming conscious. Bring some water." said a female voice. "Right away Nurse Redheart." said another voice, this time a males. And Nurse Redheart, really. Am I in some cult where everyone has long names saying what they do.

I soon get the strength to open my eyes. My vision was blurry, all I could see was a white figure beside me. My vision soon improved, which allowed me to see where I was. I seemed to be in a hospital, however this hospital was different. It seemed more, low tech. It still had some technology, but it was nowhere near earth standards.

The next thing I noticed was that bandages covered my left arm, stained with some blood. Those wolves must have done some damage. My butt hurt as well, but was more of a annoyance than anything.

"It's good to see your up."

I turn my head around, only to see a white pony right beside me. "Did, did you just talk!?" I yelled. "Shhhh! Off course I did, and can you keep it down?" My mind just looped. "But ponies don't talk, only people do. This all has to be a bad dream." She started to get annoyed, "Sir, if this were a bad dream, Princess Luna would of stopped it by now."

"Now I was more confused, "Who is Princess Luna, and how did you know I am a male?" She suddenly blushed red, "Just a hunch." She lied, she saw my thing.

"It's best if you just get some rest, you can ask these questions later. Oh, my names Redheart. I've been taking care of you while you were out cold" she said putting a glass of water on a table by my bed.

"Thanks, I guess. I guess I should just take it easy for now. It will let me come up with more questions to ask you." I said. "If you want questions answered about Equestria, just ask Princess Twilight."

"Who's Princess Twilight?" I asked. "Just head to sleep" she said annoyed.

LATER

"So bored."

I couldn't fall asleep. My mind was racing through what just happened. "This is definitely not earth, and I can't be high ether. The pain in my arm is real. Now I'm stuck in a whole new world, and just talked to a pony. Maybe the ones I saved talk as well." These, and many more thoughts raced through my mind.

"I hope this will be better than working for dad. They did take care of me, so I'll give them a point for that."

"Lunch time." I sat up, only to see Redheart come in with a cart with food. "We don't know what you eat, so we just made a PBJ sandwich for you." I picked up the sandwich and took a bit out of it.

"Hey, this is pretty good. Thanks." I said with a full mouth. "Second point" I thought.

"Your welcome. Oh, you'll be getting visitors in about a hour. Just thought you should know."

Guests, who would want to vist me? I nodded and continued to eat my sandwich, signalling Redheart that she could go.

I soon finished the sandwich. I have to say, that was the best PBJ sandwich I have ever had, and the first. I then decided to take a nap, no one wants to sit around for an hour doing nothing.

I lay down, close my eyes, and let sleep take over my body.

1 HOUR LATER

There was a knocking on the door, which woke me up. And in came Redheart. "Your visitors are here, uhh"

'Joel"

"Joel, right. Anyways, come in girls."

Six ponies then come into the room. "Hey, your the ones I saved in those woods." I said surprised. "Well I didn't need saving. I would of taken care of those timber wolves myself." said the blue one.

The purple one then glared at her, and looked at me. "Don't mind her. Anyways, we thank you for saving us back there. Is it ok if we get your name?"

"Sure. The names Joel Williams, but you can call me Joel."

"Well it's nice ta meet ya Joel. Ma name's Applejack." said the orange one with a southern accent. "Her name is the same as that cereals." I thought. "Nice to meet ya, and you are." I said pointing at the blue, rainbow haired one.

"The names Rainbow Dash, fastest flier in Equestria, and future Wonderbolt." she said with pride. "What are the Wonderbolts?" I asked.

"Are you serious? You are definitely not from around here. They are only the coolest ponies ever. They do tricks, shows, and are very fast." I thought for a second, than replied, "You mean ariel acrobatics teams? We have those back where I'm from."

She then flew right in my face excited, "Really!? That's so cool. You got to tell me about them. I think we should hang out sometime if we get the chance, you seem like a cool guy. You did take out a pack of timber wolves. But if you dare to hurt any of my friends. Your bones will be a timber wolves chew toy." she said with a glare.

"Threat acknowledged , What the!" Suddenly, the pink one was right in my face, talking faster than sonic could run.

"Hi, I'm Pinkie Pie. Do you like parties? I love parties. I should throw you a welcome to ponyville ape thing party. Do you like cake? I love cake. My job is to make all kinds of sweets. My favorite flavour is all of them! What is your favorite flavour? Huh huh huh."

"Uh, vanilla." I said. "Jezz. This one acts like she had fifty shots of coffee, extra caffeine." I thought. "I see. You like to play it safe and keep it simple. Ok. Fluttershy, our next." She suddenly pulled in the yellow one, which was probably Fluttershy.

"Um, hi Fluttershy."

"EEPP!" She ran the the corner of the room and curled up into a pink ball. "Ok, thats just adorable." I thought.

"She ain't called Fluttershy for nothing, eh."

"Don't worry darling. She's always nervous when around new ponies. And you killing ten timber wolves doesn't help your case either. Anyways, my name's Rarity. Top fashion designer in Ponyville. I have a question for you."

"Sure Rarity. What is it?"

"Does you species wear cloths all the time?" she asked. I could tell she felt a bit uncomfortable asking that. "Um, yeah. Why you ask?"

"Darling, thats wonderful. I get to be the first pony ever to make cloths for a new species. All the time. That means that you can try on what's hot."

"Uhh. All you need to do is make me a set of cloths. I don't want to become your personal doll."

"Hehe. Sorry, got a bit carried away there. Don't worry, I'll make a closet full of cloths for you once your out. As thanks for saving me."

"Wow. Thanks Rarity." I said. "Oh it's nothing. Now, I think there's somepony that you still need to meet." Rarity said, nudging the purple one.

"Oh right sorry. My name is Twilight Sparkle. It is a great honor to meet a new species. I hope that your time here in Equestria has been enjoyable."

"You know you don't half to talk like that."

"Sorry. As a princess, I feel I should give you a formal greeting." she said. "Your a princess! Uh, sorry for not giving you a proper hello." "Shit. She's a princess. I hope I get to keep my head." I thought.

"Oh don't worry. I don't like to be treated as one much. You don't have to be formal."

"Whew. For a second there I thought I would loss my head." I said relieved. "Why would you loss your head?" Twilight asked. "Never Mind. So I think that's everyone. Now I have a truck load of questions for ya."

"Sorry Princess. But visiting hours are over. It is time to leave." said Redheart.

"Oh. Ok, coming. How about we talk later in my castle. I'll take you there when you are free to go."

"Ok, bye Twilight. Bye everyone."

"Well that went well. Too well." I thought. My suspicion levels have been raised.

They all gave a short wave and headed out the door. "Wow. What a day. Looks like I will be stuck here for awhile."
