After the unnamed human had passed out the hysteria that had been calmed by everypony staring at him started again.
"Oh no, he must be hurt worse than I thought!" Said Fluttershy as she fretted over the man, looking him over and trying to see how she could help.
"He looks fine, or at least he doesn't look burnt like all this other weird stuff that came with him. Just probably a big baby." Rainbow Dash commented as she poked some strange red thing with two screens on it and some buttons.
"Why would anypony need TWO screens anyway..."
Rarity passed by Rainbow over to where Fluttershy was looking at the humans torso carefully, having removed his shirt to do so. Rarity picked up the patchily burnt fabric in her magic and unfolded it so she could see it fully.
"While I agree with Rainbow that he appears fine I must say that his clothes didn't fair as well. But on closer inspection it might have been for the best I dare say. I understand that humans where cloths all the time, but even casual clothing shouldn't be so...bland."
"Honestly Rares, just 'cus the poor fella ain't burnt don't mean he ain't hurt some other way. So stop worrin' about that darn shirt and help me start moving him to a guest room. That is, if you don't mind none Twilight."
Twilight was still a little behind with situation has her mind processed everything that just happened. She shook her head and took a double take, looking at Applejack when she seemed to get a handle on the current going ons.
"Oh, go right ahead. I don't mind at all. It would be a lot better for us to try and look after him than the hospital anyway. I can use my, admittedly criminally low, knowledge to make sure he's okay to much better effect than the doctors educated guesses could. Plus I'm sure Fluttershy's input will be very helpful as well."
"ANNNNND I can throw him a party anytime I want here, unlike up there at the hospital with those grumpy grumps that don't know that parties are the best medicine ever since parties always have a bunch of laughter which I heard is the best medicine, so of course that's why parties are the best medicine ever which is why as soon as he wakes up-mph!"
Applejack kept her hoof firmly in Pinkie's mouth as she spoke.
"Sorry to say this Pinkie, but ya can't throw a party at a hospital for a good reason. Your kind of parties aren't exactly for the quieter folks, and since ill ponies need the quiet to help get better that's why you can't throw parties at the hospital, or for our friend over there RIGHT after he wakes up."
Pinkie seemed to literally deflate a bit, a muffled awww escaping from her hoof stuffed mouth. Taking her hoof back and giving it a few quick flicks to get rid of the bits of glue and spit that had stuck to it, Applejack gave her energetic friend a smile and walked over to where the human was laid out, calling back to the other two.
"I'm gonna go ahead and move this big lug to a guest room."
Twilight nodded at her with a smile and was about to start working on figuring out what had gone wrong when Pinkie spoke up again.
"And I had a super special "Welcome to Equestria Party" planned for him..."
Twilight gave her a warm smile as she flared up her horn and removed all the glue from Pinkie's hair. With practiced skill she got all the glue back in it's bottle without so much a drop being missed, capped it, and set down at Pinkie's hooves.
"Don't worry Pinkie, as soon as he's up and about you can throw him a huge party right here in the castle. But ONLY after he's feeling better, understood?"
Perking back up Pinkie saluted with a huge grin.
"Good, now if you'll excuse me I have research to do."
"But don't ya wanna stick around and talk to him when wakes up Twi?"
"I do Pinkie, it's always exciting to meet new people, but I'd rather not see him not only after I've accidentally ripped him from his own world, but also with the news that I have absolutely no Idea how to get him back. Trust me when I say that just because humans can't fly, use magic, or are not even as strong as earth ponies that they are not things to take lightly. And while I'm sure our new friend will be an understanding gentleman, you know I never like leaving anything up for chance. So I need to get started now so I'll be ready with a way back for him by the time he wakes up."
"Oh, well I guess that makes sense. But if he gets all grumpity grump just let me at him. I'll have that frown upside down in no time!"
Twilight giggled as Pinkie broke physics rather than her neck, turning her head upside down to give a literal take on the old phrase. Shaking her head in bemusement, having come to accept that she would never know how Pinkie could do these things Twilight began to walk off.
"I'm sure you could Pinkie."
As Twilight disappeared into the depths of her castle and Pinkie tried to get over the dizziness of spinning her head around a small train of ponies with the man on top walked slowly by. At the head of the line was Fluttershy, holding up the guys head, Applejack behind her supporting the guys middle, Rarity at the back holding him up by his legs using her magic, and Rainbow floating behind them all holding onto his shirt.
"Oh, please be careful girls, I know he's a bit on the heavier side but until I've made completely sure that he's alright I don't want to take the chance of rattling anything."
"Flutters, I don't mean to be rude here but this pardner ain't exactly lite, so 'scuse me if I ain't the steadiest thing right now."
"I'm inclined to agree Fluttershy darling, we can't do much more than keep him from dragging across the ground seeing as he's of the...heftier type."
"Hefty? This guys straight up huge! I mean sure he still probably isn't the fattest I've ever seen but-" WHAP! "-OUCH! What the hay was that for?!"
The newspaper was laid back on the table it had been retrieved from, being released from the blue tinted magic as Rarity turned to face forward again, nose held up high.
"Honestly Rainbow, could you not be so mean spirited? Just because one isn't as physically fit as you doesn't mean you need to go insulting them."
" 'Specially when they're out cold and can't defend themselves." Applejack chimed in.
Rainbow fell to the ground in shock, landing on her back.
"But I, I mean that's, I-I-I."
Giving her head a sharp shake Rainbow got to her hooves and quickly caught up with the others.
"That's NOT what I meant! You can't not say that he's fat, not hefty, not hardy, but FAT! You know I don't care one way or another as long as somepony isn't a slob, but come ON! He's fat and you can't say otherwise."
With a sigh Rarity went from nose held high to head hung low, a bit of sweat dripping from her brow.
"While I wouldn't put it so bluntly, I suppose I can't deny the truth."
"Exactly, guys fat and that's that!"
"Being a little fat isn't all that bad, if you don't mind me saying."
Fluttershy had been focused on keeping the man's head leveled evenly, but had been paying attention to her friends conversation and had decided then to join in it.
"Oh not you too Fluttershy. I never said it was! I was just stating facts okay? I don't have any problem with ponies, erm, people who like to eat more. I mean heck, I can't say I wouldn't be bigger myself if I wasn't the super athlete that I am. There is some really good food out there, like-"
"Like my super amazing hot sauce marzipan muffins?!"
"DAHHH!"
Rainbow was back in the air, Pinkie having jumped right into her face from out of no where.
"Don't do that Pinkie! You nearly gave me a heart attack!"
"HAHA *Snort* he~, Sorry Dashie, I didn't mean to scare you. I was just wondering what you girls were talking about and I heard you talking about foods you like so I just had to find out what you thought about those hot sauce marzipan muffins I-"
"Hey Pinkie?" Called Applejack, her and the other two girls having stopped as well.
"Yes Jackie-Jack?"
"I don't want to come off sounding like I can't carry around heavy loads on my own, but considering we have be real careful with this here load and get him across nearly the whole darn castle, would you and miss Exerciser Elitist mind helping us carry him?"
"Of course I'll help, but I want to meet this Elitist pony as soon as we're done so I can be their friend 'cus I know I haven't meet any new ponies coming into town recently going by that name and you know I always remember all my friends names."
Applejack gave her a wary smile as Pinkie hopped over and took a place under the man's legs, allowing Rarity to ease up a bit and relax, while Rainbow groaned now that she knew that she wasn't gonna get over this one anytime soon and flew over the guy, awkwardly grabbing him by his shoulders to alleviate the weight a little on the two ponies holding up his front end. With that they moved towards a hallway that would lead them to the guest quarters, trying to move as fast as the ever worried Fluttershy would allow them.
"That's not right either!"
A ball of paper was thrown as hard as possible against a wall to just fall harmlessly into a pile of it's comrades.
"I have been at this for HOURS and still have nothing on how I can get the subject home!"
With that exclamation Twilight thunked her head against her drafting desk, more paper balls falling to the ground.
It was afternoon now, the sun starting it's journey downward. In the time to now from when the mirror exploded Twilight had been here, having reasonably thought that while she wouldn't have it fixed that she would at least know how to fix it. The ever growing army of wadded parchment said otherwise, each being a different idea that ultimately got rejected. In this time Twilight had gone into full on science mode, only breaking from her research when one of her friends came by to say goodbye before they left, and when Spike got back from the local hoofball game that him and Big Macintosh had gone to see. Having been updated on what had happened he had gone to help the last of their friends still in the castle, Fluttershy, with watching over the human.
Pulling her face up and looking at her desk that was stained with many ink spills and still covered in crumpled notes she grumbled.
"I have gone through one-hundred and twenty-eight different possible reasons the denominational sifter could have misaligned, but none of them make any sense. The only thing I could figure out was that the reason the subject wasn't burnt like everything else that had come through the portal with him was that only organic material could pass through it in the state it was in, but Celestia help me if that helps get him back home!"
Rubbing her eyes Twilight took another look at the mountains of her mistakes before huffing and standing up fast enough to knock even more paper wads down, walking to the door.
"I need coffee."
But before she could get to the door a knock came from it, followed by it opening and Spike poking his head in.
"Oh, hey Twilight. Didn't expect you to be away from your desk."
Twilight let out a long deep sigh.
"I didn't expect to be sitting in front of it for so long without making a lick of progress."
Stepping into the room proper Spike shuffled his feet a bit, looking a bit awkward.
"I'm sure you'll get it Twi, you're always good with the techno-magic stuff. But there's something I need to tell you."
"What is it Spike?"
"Well, you know how you said you wanted to have some answers ready for the guy before he woke back up?"
Twilight didn't like where this was going.
"Yes?"
"Um, he's awake. But all he was doing when I left to get you was staring at Fluttershy, mouth open and not saying a thing."
Staring at Spike for an uncomfortably long time with a face that of pure stone, Twilight finally just fell back into a sitting position and let out an even greater sigh than before.
"Spike?"
"Yeah Twilight?"
"While I go to talk with the sub-I mean with the human could you please get me a pot of coffee and our biggest cup?"
