Chapter 1: Appearance

It was a warm summer's day when it all started. A yellow pegasus with a pink main had just walked out of her house to feed some animals when she noticed a black pony unconscious on the ground near the forest. She ran to the pony's side to find that he was a unicorn and that had no visible injuries but would not wake up no matter what she tried. She didn't know what to do so she picked him up and flew him to the hospital.

"Nurse Redheart, Nurse Redheart," the pegasus called out in her quiet voice as she entered the hospital carrying an unconscious pony in her hooves.

"What's wrong Fluttershy?" a white mare with pink hair asked while turning towards the door. When she seen what all of the commotion was about, she immediately started giving out orders."I need some extra ponies and a stretcher in here." Two other doctors rushed in with a stretcher and laid the unconscious pony on it.

"Fluttershy, what happened to him?" Nurse Redheart asked Fluttershy as they followed the doctors into the emergency room.

"I don't know. I just found him like this. I tried to see what was wrong but I didn't see anything wrong." Fluttershy replied with a sad look upon her face.

"It's going to be alright Fluttershy, we will take it from here." Nurse Redheart said to try to calm Fluttershy down.

"A, Are you sure?" Fluttershy asked as she reverted back to her usual quite demeanor.

"Positive." Nurse Redheart said with a smile on her face.

Two Months Later (?'s POV)

"I don't know what to tell you, all of his vitals were fine when he was admitted and they have stayed that way during his entire stay. Even after running a multitude of tests on him, we can't find anything wrong with him. All we can do now is wait for him to wake up." A male voice tried to explain to someone.

"But if he won't wake up, how can I throw him the bestest welcome party ever?" asked a female voice who was clearly annoyed.

"He will wake up eventually, so just give him some time to rest. You can throw him a party after he wakes up, ok?" the male voice explained to the female voice.

After a brief silence the female voice said in a very happy tune,"Okie Dokie Lokie."

Later That Night (Narrator's POV)

A doctor walked in to the room of an unconscious black unicorn to check his vitals again. He immediately noticed the patient was drenched in sweat and that his heart rate was rapidly rising.

"Nurse Redheart, come quick." The doctor yelled down the hall. Nurse Redheart dashed into the room a moment later as she had been just a few rooms down cleaning up a mess.

"This is not good. We need to get his heart rate down before it ruptures from the stress." She practically yelled as she ran over to him. But, before she could touch him, he bolted upright in bed earing a shocked gasp from both Nurse Redheart and the other doctor.

"N, N, Nurse Redheart," the doctor stammered, "L, L, Look at his eyes."

Nurse Redheart did as the doctor asked but she was not prepared for what she saw. This pony did not have eyes like anypony else she knew. His eyes were those of a dragon and were a dark red that gave him a demonic appearance. Nurse Redheart was speechless, but then she noticed something else about them. His eyes were completely unfocused as if he was staring at something that did not exist. He then collapsed back onto the bed and fell asleep while his heart rate returned to normal.

The Next Morning (?'s POV)

I awoke to the sounds of hooves hitting the floor and someone talking. I opened my eyes but was not expecting to see someone else's big, blue eyes right in front of me. I panicked and tried to run away only to end up triping into the wall next to my bed. When I recovered from the fall, I looked up to see who had startled me, only it wasn't what I expected. There were four ponies in front of me. The one on the bed I had just been in was light pink in color with a dark pink main and tail. The two who were closest to the door were yellow with pink hair and light purple with dark purple hair that had a pink highlight through it. Finally, on the other side of the bed, was a white pony with pink hair and what looked to be a nurse's hat on top of its head.

At this time, the pink one hopped down from the bed and approached the me. She looked at me curiously for a moment, then she smiled and said, "You're weird, but I like everypony so we can friends. By the way I'm Pinkie Pie and I throw the bestest parties ever so I'm going to go through you the biggest welcome party ever. Bye." With that said, she ran out the door before I could even register what just happened. A moment later though, the realization hit me and all I could do was stare at the rest of them in shock.

After my initial shock wore off though, I tried to stand up but my foot slipped out from under me and I fell back down. The white pony then ran over to me, picked me up, and set me back down on the bed. She then proceeded to tell me, "You shouldn't be getting out of the like that. You were just in a two month long coma and some of your muscles won't respond properly. You should take things slow until you are used to moving around again."

The purple pony then walked up to me. "Hello, my name is Twilight Sparkle and this is my friend Fluttershy," Twilight said pointing with her hoof at the yellow pony behind her who hid her face behind her mane. "She is the one who found you passed out by Everfree Forest and brought you here so that Nurse Redheart," Twilight continued this time pointing at the white pony, "could treat you." The entire time Twilight was introducing all of them and explaining everything, I just looked at her in horror.

I thought to myself, "This can't be real. Ponies can't talk, they just walk around and eat grass. I must be dreaming, I know I will just pinch myself and wa…" it was at time point that I looked down only to find that I didn't have hands anymore. Instead of my hands I had hooves.

The sudden shock of realizing that he was no longer human caused him to pass out, much to the shock of the ponies in the room with him.

?'s Flashback

I was sitting in the park on a bench when it happened.

"Pat, Pat, look at what I found," yelled a little black haired girl in a green dress as she ran up to me.

"What is it Nel?" I asked her.

"It's a black butterfly." Nel said proudly while opening up her hands. In her hands, there was a solid black butterfly that slowly moved its wings up and down.

I patted her on the head and told her, "Well at least you didn't bring back a spider this time. You know how much a hate them."

Nel laughed and said back to me, "Yeah, whenever you see a spider you always…." Nel cut off as a massive explosion went off not far outside of the park.

I picked Nel up ran as fast I could back to our house. Our house wasn't too far away from the park and it was on the side opposite of the explosion. When I arrived I set Nel down on her bed and turned on the TV. It was then that I first seen them.

Present Time (Narrator's POV)

Nurse Redheart couldn't figure out why the unicorn had passed out like he had but she assumed that it was the stress of waking up after being in a coma and not knowing where you are.

She looked over at Twilight and Fluttershy. Twilight had stopped talking when she realized that the one she had passed out. Nurse Redheart then spoke up, "Twilight, Fluttershy, why don't you both leave and let him rest. He has a lot to deal with right now without you asking him a bunch of questions. I will let you know when he is up and about again. Then you can ask him questions."

Twilight reluctantly left when she said that, and when she did she was mubbling something about his "eyes." Fluttershy followed after Twilight soon after.

Nurse Redheart sighed and said to herself, "This is going to be a busy week."

Later That Night

After Pat had reawakened, Nurse Redheart offered to help him relearn how to walk. She explained to him that his muscules had deteriorated due to his long stay at the hospital so he would have to build them back up slowly. He accepted her offer with a nod of his head. He then thought to himself, "I should also use this time to get used seeing talking ponies and to learn as much as I can to fit in. I wouldn't want to freak them out by telling them that I'm not actually a pony. They might think that I am crazy, or worse, they might try to kill me."

Four Days Later

It was hard work, but Pat had managed to be able to walk in only four days and it was all thanks to Nurse Redheart. During those four days however, Nurse Redheart came to the assumption that he was mute because no matter what she said or asked him, he would only answer her with a nod of his head or give her a curious stare. On the other hand, if she would ask about his family or where he was from, he would stop what he was doing and cry. She wanted to know why but she refrained from asking him since he would never speak.

As Pat was now fully recovered and able to walk on his own, it was finally time for him to leave the hospital. Nurse Redheart walked into Pat's room to tell him the good news. "You have been making such great progress in your rehabilitation that you are going to be released today. Do you have anywhere to go when you leave?" Nurse Red heart asked. Pat looked up from the book he was reading and shook his head no. Nurse Redheart looked a little dismayed at this but perked back up after thinking for a few seconds.

"I know, I can ask Twilight if you can stay with her for the time being. Would that be alright with you?" To this, Pat nodded. "Well then, I'll go see if that would be alright with her," and with that, Nurse Redheart walked out of the hospital and started towards Twilight's house.

A few minutes later, Nurse Redheart arrived at Twilight's house. It looked like a giant tree house. Nurse Redheart knocked on door to the house. From inside she could hear she yell out, "Coming!" A few seconds later, the door opened up and a purple dragon with green spikes down his spine stepped out. "Hello Spike," Nurse Redheart greeted the dragon, "May I please talk to Twilight for a moment?'

"Hold on," Spike said as he stepped back into the house. "Twilight, Nurse Redheart wants to speak with you!" Nurse Redheart could hear someone scrambling around for a minute before the door opened again.

Twilight poked her head out and greeted Nurse Redheart. "Is there something you needed?"

"Yes there is. That unicorn that Fluttershy found has completely recovered and he is ready to be released but he has nowhere to go. I was wondering if he could stay here with you for the time being." She asked Twilight.

Twilight thought for a moment and then answered, "Yes that would be alright with me. It would also give me a chance to learn some more about him."

"I'm afraid that might not be possible. You see, he is mute so he can only answer yes or no questions." Nurse Redheart informed Twilight.

"Oh," Twilight said in shock to this new information, "Well, bring him over later tonight so that Pinkie Pie and I can prepare something special for him."

"One of Pinkie Pie's signature Welcome to Ponyville Parties?" Nurse Redheart guessed.

"You know it. Just be sure not to tell him." Twilight said smiling.

"I wouldn't want to ruin his first surprise party here in Ponyville." Nurse Redheart remarked. Then both Nurse Redheart and Twilight busted out laughing.

Later That Night

"Well, here we are." Nurse Redheart exclaimed to the unicorn that was following her. "This is where you will be staying until you find a place of your own. Well go on in and enjoy your time here."

Pat walked up to the door and opened it. All the lights were off so he couldn't see anything or anyone. He took a few cautious steps in when all of a sudden…

"SURPRISE!" everyone shouted as the lights turned on. Pat was stunned. He didn't know what to do. Then he did the first thing that came to mind.

He ran away.
