"Snug as a bug in a rug!" I say, proud of my work.
Rainbow Dash lay in my bed, still passed out, with a blanket over her little body. Daww… I can see that she is still breathing and I'm willing to bet that she'll wake up at any second. She'll probably be out of it for a few seconds…I hope…
Her wings are wrapped to her body with some gauze I found in my first aid kit. I think I folded them up right, but I really don't know. All I know is that she got hurt pretty badly in the crash; both wings broken and a lot of scrapes I had to treat on her torso and hooves.
Suddenly, the body starts to move, startling me and causing my heartbeat to increase tenfold. The little mare groans in pain as she attempts to lift her hooves.
"Ugh, what's going on…" She moans, obviously very tired, "Why do I hurt so…Wait a minute, that spell must've backfired, ughnn. Where am I? Twi, are you there?"
"Um, hello." I manage to say, causing the mare to jump a little, though her eyes stay closed, "You crashed near me on the side of the road, messed yourself up a bit. I brought you home and patched you up as much as I could."
"Who are you?" She asks, trying to sound brave, "If you did…Wait, you said that my wings were messed up…"
"Y-Yeah, they're pretty much broken…" I say, stuttering in fear of what she'd do to the messanger of such news, "I patched them up as good as I could, though…"
"Broken…" I see tears leak through her closed eyelids as she sobs, "I can't believe this, why didn't you just take me to a hospital! You think you can do a better job than a doctor?"
"I, uhh…" I stutter nervously, "We don't have any hospitals around here…so-"
"Yeah right!" Rainbow interjects, "Don't try and fool me, bub! I know that I couldn't have flown too far from Ponyville…right?"
"…" I stand there in silence, hoping that she'll absorb what she just said.
"R-Right?" This time she sounds much more nervous, "I mean, h-how far could I have gotten?"
"Pretty damn far." I simply state, "There's some serious stuff I need to tell you, but you need to stay calm, okay?"
"O-Okay…" The sky blue Pegasus answers nervously.
"First off; you ain't in Equestria anymore." I tell her, "Secondly; I'm not a pony, dragon, or anything you've ever seen. Third; I am not, I repeat, am NOT going to hurt you under any circumstance."
"Where am I? What are you?" She starts freaking out, her eyes peeling open wide. At first, all she sees is the wall directly in front of her, but once she turns her head in my direction, her eyes pop out of their sockets.
"W-What the hay…" The mare quietly says, "W-What in Equestria are you?"
"A human, to put it simply." I explain, "And you are no longer in Equestria, you're on Earth…Home planet of the humans."
"How? Why? Twilight!" She suddenly exclaims, "I knew her stupid spell did something to me…"
The blue mare begins to sob quietly, burying her head in the pillow. I feel awful just watching her, so I attempt to comfort her b putting my hand on her shoulder, which doesn't exactly fly well with her as she shrugs off my hand.
"Watch it, bub." The distraught mare tells me, "I might be all bandaged up, but I can still kick your flank any day of the week! Keep your weird claws to yourself!"
"Sorry…" I say apologetically, feeling hurt by her comment, "I'm gonna go into the living room. If you need anything, just tell me."
Before she gets the chance to respond, I exit the room and enter my living room. Well, you just got insulted by a mare that matters a hell of a lot to you. Only one thing to do now; fucking house music.
I walk over to my laptop, plug in my Audio Technica headphones, and go to my music library. Once in my library, I hit shuffle and play. The first song that comes on is Bingo Players – L'amour.
"Fucking shit right here." I grin, letting the song take away all my worries, "Hell yeah!"
I listen to the song for a solid three minutes, the loud and heavy bass drowning out any thoughts or regrets I may have had. Music is my drug, to put it quickly.
Suddenly, I feel a tap on my shoulder, quickly making me spin around in shock. What I see is a annoyed-looking cyan mare. I take off my headphones and give an unsure chuckle.
"I've been calling you for at least a minute, what's the hold up?" She huffs at me.
"Sorry, just drowning my sorrow with loud music." I explain, frowning.
"Heh, sorry about that…I was pretty mean…" The mare now looks quite sorry for what she had said earlier, "Friends?" She extends her hoof, wearing a large smile on her face.
"Friends!" I extend my hand and wrap it around her hoof, shaking it.
"So, you said you were listening to loud music…" She begins, an excited smile coming onto her face, "Is it like rock and roll? I could jam to that stuff all day!"
"Nah, more electronic." I explain, pulling out my headphones, "You wanna listen?"
"Sure!" She answers, looking quite happy.
"This one's called L'Amour, it's pretty kickass." I say, excited to show my favorite pony some of my favorite music. I start the song at 37 seconds in, to avoid the build that may bore Rainbow.
She site through the entirety of the lead, then the rise begins. When the drop hit, it hits hard, making Dash bob her head to the track.
"This is crazy!" The mare yells, "I love it!"
We sit through the rest of the track in silence, enjoying the sounds and structure of a great electro house jam. When the track finishes up, I press pause on my playlist and step away from the computer.
"Hey, what gives?" She asks, upset that the music had stopped, "What are you doing?"
"Making some soup like a soup boss." I explain, walking over to my tiny-as-fuck pantry, "Got some good soups cookin' here; got some chi- I mean tomato soup."
"Okay, I guess I am a little hungry." She says, following me into the kitchen, "By the way, how did you know anything about Equestria?"
"I- ummm…" I stumble on my words, unsure of what to say, "Ugh, it's a long story."
"I've got time…"She says, making me all the more nervous.
"Fine, I'll tell you while we eat." I say, giving in to her demand, "You want bread with the soup?"
"Sure, why not?" The mare answers.
-10 minutes later-
I take a seat at my table, the bowl of cereal I had poured myself making me hungry. Dash had already started eating her soup and she seems to be enjoying it. I take my first bite and savor the taste in my mouth. I hadn't eaten for at least four or five hours, so I am pretty hungry by now.
"So, are you gonna tell me about how you know about Equestria?" The mare asks me.
"Ugh, fine…" I sigh, setting down my spoon, "Do you have movies where you're from?"
"Yeah, we have movies, why?"
"Well, in my world, you and your world are merely elements of a TV series." This garners a confused look from the blue daredevil, "Think a movie, but with more plot elements. It's also broken up into a ton of 30 minute episodes which are aired once a week. It's called My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic."
"Wait…So in your world, I'm not real?" She asks, her eyes widening.
"No, but I always believed you were out there somewhere." I smile and look her in the eyes, "It looks like I was right."
"I'm just a fake character…" The mare starts to look rather downtrodden, "Not real…"
"You're real to me." I say in a serious tone, "If you weren't real, how are you talking to me right now."
"Maybe you're right." The sky blue Pegasus says, starting to smile again, "So, what did I do in the show?"
"You were a bearer of one of the elements of harmony; loyalty." I explain, "Then Applejack was honesty, Pinkie Pie was laughter, Rarity was generosity, Twilight was magic, and Fluttershy was kindness. The show followed the activities and adventures you and your friends had and I loved it. You were easily the coolest pony on the show, though."
"Thanks…" She blushes at the compliment, "And thanks for clearing that up. I thought you were a spy for a second there."
"Yeah, definitely not a spy." I chuckle a bit at this, "So, what do you want to do once we're done- wait!"
"What is it?" Rainbow asks, seemingly excited.
"You like Daring Doo, right?" I ask the mare, whose face contorts into a joyous smile.
"Yeah! How did you know?"
"Remember? I watched the show?"
"Oh yeah." The mare blushes once again.
"Well, the books in your world are pretty much identical to a very popular series called Indiana Jones." I explain to her, "It's regarded as one of the best action/adventure series in the world."
"Awesome! Can I read one? Do you have one?"
"Well, it's not a book series…It's a series of movies." I explain to Rainbow.
"Even better!" She exclaims, "This is going to be SO AWESOME!"
-5 minutes later-
"So let's see this movie!" She gallops out into the living room and plops down on the couch.
"Okay, okay." I chuckle again to myself, "I'll put it in."
I think my dreams just came true…
