A/N: Alright, this chapter is based off something that has happened to me in real life back in December that I still remember, and I apologize for how long this chapter took to write. Now the responses to the review. Even though there's only one.

godzillafan1: Well, I don't think it would be a great job to deal with fire breathing ants either. Though it's fun to fight them in Fallout games. Anyways, I'm glad you're enjoying the story and I'm hoping others will enjoy it as well.

I open my eyes to the sunlight that comes through the window. Today was going to be a great day through my own eyes. It was the day that I was going to visit Twilight at her library, and I could hardly wait since I'd be able to visit my crush. But however, rushing to get her to fall in love was not an option. If I rushed straight to the point, this would probably cause her to get me stuck in the friend zone with her.

There was a knock on the bedroom door and I turned to the door, by the sound of how soft the knocking was. "Come in." I said, recognizing that the soft knocking was Fluttershy. The door opens and she comes in, trotting.

"Good morning Brayden." Fluttershy says to me, trotting up to my bed. I watch her move her hoof to the bed sheets and move them downward, letting me out from the guest bed. I get up off of my bed and turn around to start making my bed, until Fluttershy places her hoof onto my hand. "Um, Brayden. I'll make your bed for you… If it's okay with you. I mean, if you don't want me to, I'll just-"

"Fluttershy, you could help me do the other side." I offered, putting a soft smile on her face. She comes over to the other side of my bed and helps me pull the bed sheets upward and begin fixing them. She is quite mildly surprised to see how I end up turning in bed during my peaceful sleep. Once the sheets were in place, I gently shaped the pillows and placed them onto the bed.

"You did really well. How do you know how to make your own bed?" Fluttershy asked, trotting over back to my side.

"Well, I guess it comes from experience of seeing other ponies do it." I said, scratching my head innocently.

Fluttershy looked at me and said "I see. Well, I do have to go and get some groceries from the nearby marketplace in Ponyville. And I know that you'll be going to see Twilight this afternoon after I come home from doing that errand."

"Wait, Fluttershy." I said, placing my hand on her soft yellow shoulder. "Don't you worry about it, I'll get you the groceries."

"But, what about your visit with Twilight this afternoon?" She asks.

"Don't worry. Once I get the groceries, I'll give them to you and then go straight on my way to Twilight's. She and Spike will be happy to see me." I said.

Fluttershy smiles and trots outside the guest bedroom towards the end table where I can see her take a note and hand it to me. On the note is the list of her groceries ranging from two large cartons of milk, two branches of celery, three tomatoes, two loaves of bread, a barrel of fruit, a few apples from Sweet Apple Acres, a bag of bird feed and a medium bag of salad leaves. "Here's the list of things I want you to get for me… if you please." She says, with the signature sound of 'squee' heard.

I smile and nod, and then realize that I do not have any bits to pay for the groceries at each stand in the marketplace. Fluttershy becomes kind enough to go into her end table and hand me a bag full of the bits necessary to buy me the required stuff on the list. I take the bag of bits and put it into my pocket. I then turn around and begin thinking.

Fluttershy approaches me and asks "Brayden, you have something on your mind?"

I turn and look at her, saying "Well, as a matter of fact… yes. I'm not sure if Twilight will accept that I'm the one for her. She might look at me… differently."

Fluttershy thought for a moment, flapped her soft wings and gave me a pat on the back. "Don't think that Brayden. Princess Twilight is the greatest friend to anypony here in Equestria, so I'm sure that she might give you a chance."

I turn to Fluttershy, and put on a light smile to show that I accepted her assurance. I then look at her and said "Permission to hug?"

"Oh Brayden, you don't have to ask me permission. It's not like I'm going to reject the hug, well… unless I was mad which I probably never will be." Fluttershy said, flapping closer towards me and wrapping a hoof around me and my hand was wrapped around her in a gentle, friendly hug. After a few seconds of the hug, both me and Fluttershy released each other from the hug and smiled at each other.

"Well, I should get going. The marketplace will open soon, so I have to be there in a hurry." I said, realizing the time I spent thinking rather than just doing the errand. "You never know how many ponies will come to shop."

In quite no time, I went downstairs and said hello to Fluttershy's animals before going out the door. I walk along the dirt road and didn't really hear Fluttershy shouting something to me. I thought I heard the word 'breakfast' come from her in the distance. I realized that I had forgotten to eat breakfast by the time I had already crossed down the path towards the Ponyville marketplace.

The marketplace was slowly starting to swarm with ponies all over from left to right and it was hard to squeeze in through the ponies trying to grab at a piece of the fresh vegetables and supplies. "It must be a Friday." I thought to myself when coming through the nearby crowd swarming the Cucumber stand. Most of the other stands such as the carrot and Brussels sprout weren't as busy but still had a lot of ponies come by the stands to pay for the pieces of vegetable.

I could see the tomato stand across from the Zucchini stand and I start walking towards the stand with its business owner just looking about for any customer to come and buy. The table has a cloth with the symbol of a tomato embedded on it. "Excuse me, but do you know how much bits I need to spend on three tomatos?" I asked on approach, with the owner turning to look at me with her own eyes.

"Well, it'll be six bits." The tomato stand owner said to me, pointing towards the sign that could tell each tomato was two bits.

I take a look at the red tomatoes and place down the six bits that I took out from the small bag in my pocket and kindly give them to the mare.

"Thank you kind sir." The tomato stand owner said to me, taking the six golden bits with her hooves and handing me three red juicy tomatoes. She also grabs a leather bag so I could store the groceries into there.

"Thank you as well." I said, taking the free leather bag from her and carrying it. I place the three tomatoes into the bag and go on my way towards the celery stand.

All seemed at peace and even a few of the ponies were watching me while I was shopping around the marketplace. At one occasion during my shopping expedition while trying to get two cartons of milk, the old stallion in front of me was also the one who had butted me in line. I had to tell him this, but with the help of his hearing since it was hard for him to hear me tell the news to him. I finally did manage to get the other supplies with the two cartons of milk. I checked off the list of things I had to get for Fluttershy, including the bird seed and salad leaves. I only had Sweet Apple Acres to visit to purchase a few apples.

I walk out of the marketplace and along the dirt path towards the farm, it's not too far down the road, so it should be easy said than done soon after. I could see the rabbits roaming around the trail, and it seemed like a beautiful quiet day, with only a soft breeze and the sound of birds chirping. It seems almost too peaceful, until I was softly bumped from behind by somepony. I turn around and could see Apple Bloom right behind me, she must have followed me instead of her other Crusader friends when she saw me leaving.

"Hello Brayden!" Apple Bloom says in a tone of welcome and happiness.

"Hello to you too Apple Bloom," I said, seeing her trot beside me to accompany me. "Aren't you usually with your friends Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo?"

"Yeah, we're always looking for our special talents," Apple Bloom said, with slight disappointment. "But they never come and Diamond Tiara and her friend Silver Spoon are always teasing us about it."

I look down at Apple Bloom and said "Don't you worry Apple Bloom, if you just wait instead of trying to rush to find it… Let destiny find you."

"That's just it though Brayden," Apple Bloom said. "We can't wait any longer. If all three of us get them, Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon will stop teasing us and leave us alone. It's by our rule of the Cutie Mark Crusaders."

"Well, I won't try to force you not to rush to finding your talent," I said, defeated by the young earth pony filly. "But please do keep in mind that you and your destiny will find each other sometime later as a filly. Well, for me… I got my talent in playing guitar as a teenager."

"You did?" Apple Bloom said with the tone of excitement.

"Indeed I did. When I got into music, I was mainly focused on the instruments that they were playing and those neat guitar solos." I said, sounding just like back when I was eighteen years old.

Apple Bloom jumped up and down, saying "That's awesome! Even Applejack could play a banjo." I did wonder how ponies would be able to play instruments with their own hooves, but knowing Octavia from the brony fan base back on Earth and her infamous cello… it made a lot of sense.

Both me and Apple Bloom pass under the sign that had the symbol of an apple carved into the wood rectangle hanging above. I had arrived at Sweet Apple Acres, and it would be good to pick up a few apples from the place to give to Fluttershy as part of her groceries list. I could see Applejack on the hammock attached by each end to two apple trees. She appeared to be taking a nap and it was probably for the first time that I saw Applejack without her hat which it was hanging on the end table near the hammock.

"Hello Applejack." I said, approaching her on the hammock. Applejack opens her eyes and turns her head to see me.

"Well hello to ya Brayden. I'm guessin' that Fluttershy sent ya to pick up a few apples eh?" Applejack said, getting up off the hammock, grabbing her hat and placing it on her head.

"Yeah, she did. I decided to be as kind to her as she is that kind to me." I said, obviously knowing that Fluttershy isn't my type.

"Alrightie then. I'll go and get them apples." Applejack said, trotting into the barn. I watched her trotting into the barn, and I did not notice that my own head felt like it was starting to vibrate from the inside. Once Applejack was inside the barn, I eventually caught onto the vibrations going on in my head and I placed the bag of groceries down and put my hand onto my head. My temperature was rising, and I felt hot. I had to sit down to reduce the dizziness.

"Brayden? Are you alright?" Apple Bloom asked me, when she saw my hand go onto my head. "You're looking a little pale."

"I'm… I'm fine. I just need somewhere to sit." I said sounding a bit distressed in my quiet voice with my head feeling like it was vibrating and hot. Apple Bloom took my hand and helped me over to the hammock that Applejack was napping on and I lowered down onto the soft fabric, reliefed. The vibrations started to fade a bit, but Apple Bloom seemed to look very concerned about me.

"Are you sure you're alright Brayden? You sure looked a bit white by the look of your face. And trust me, I've seen this happen before." Apple Bloom asked.

"Don't you worry Apple Bloom," I said. "I'm honest that I am completely fine."

"I'm starting to worry about you right now Brayden. Are you absolutely sure that you'll be okay walking back to Fluttershy's cottage?" Apple Bloom said, hopping up onto the hammock and sitting on the fabric.

"When was the last time I've not been okay?" I said calmly, letting the temperature of my head run slowly back to normal. Applejack came trotting back with a bag of the few apples that Fluttershy had ordered and she gave them to me.

"Here ya go, Brayden. A few apples that Fluttershy ordered a- whoa!" Applejack said, surprised by me looking like I was one of those zombies from a show back when I lived on Earth. "Brayden, ya lookin' okay?" She then asks, looking a bit worried and concerned.

"I just had to sit down, that's all. My head was starting to vibrate and my temperature was rising, so I decided to take a seat to calm down the vibrating." I said, explaining the entire thing to Applejack.

I had a bit of strength to get up off the hammock and to start walking. But Applejack walked to the direction to stop me and said "Ya sure? You're lookin' as almost as white as a ghost."

"Honestly Applejack, I will be fine." I said just walking with the two bags of groceries and towards the archway to and from Sweet Apple Acres.

"I'm not so sure 'bout it Brayden. Want me to give ya a ride to Fluttershy's from my wagon?" Applejack said, trotting up fast beside me and sounding like she was offering to help me.

"No thank you Applejack. As I said, I'll be fine." I said, declining her offer and just walking past the archway. The last look I saw from her before walking told me that she was very worried about me. It's not my fault that this happened. It's not like I was getting ill or anything. So why was she concerned? I could understand she's one of my friends, but I felt a bit regretful for declining her offer to help me.

I made my way from Sweet Apple Acres back to Fluttershy's cottage. I didn't even feel my own head vibrate while on my way back which was a relief. Sitting down must have worked after all. I walk up to Fluttershy's front door and open up, saying "I'm back Fluttershy, and I got the groceries!"

The yellow pegasus came flying down from upstairs and seemed really happy, but at the same time concerned. "Good job Brayden," She said to me, giving a soft rub on my head and taking the groceries and sorting them out of the bags. "Now I can store these in for breakfast, lunch and dinner. But it also reminds me that you forgot to eat breakfast."

"Yeah, sorry about that." I said while scratching the back of my head.

"It's no problem Brayden, we all forget to eat an important meal of the day sometimes." Fluttershy said to me, no longer sounding a bit concerned.

"Well, if you don't mind. I think I'll have a bit of a snack before going off to see Twilight." I said, going over to the pantry where she was storing the groceries.

"Oh!" Fluttershy said, to get my attention and said "Don't worry about it Brayden. Not at all. I did make a small snack for you when I knew you were coming back." She went into the fridge and took out a small fruit salad filled with small crunchy nuts to decorate it. She carefully takes the wooden bowl full of it and brings it over to me. "Here you go."

"Thanks Fluttershy!" I said, taking a wooden fork and pouching it into the fruit salad and taking a bite. The sweet taste brought a smile to me and I took another bite, saying "It's good."

Fluttershy trotted up to me and said "Now now Brayden, don't eat too fast. You'll get a bad tummy ache."

I began to eat a little slower to avoid a tummy ache and at the same time, I was helping Fluttershy store the last of the groceries into the pantry and fridge. I had placed the tomatoes and salad leaves into the fridge and closed the fridge door. I turned to Fluttershy who put the last grocery into the pantry, the bird seed and she closed the pantry door.

"Are we both missing anything else to place into the pantry or fridge?" I asked. Fluttershy just smiled and shook her head. I had already finished shopping for groceries and storing them to help Fluttershy out.

I took a look at the clock in the main room of the cottage and could tell that there was only ten minutes until 11:00am. The time that I was supposed to meet Twilight at her treehouse. "Oh my, I really have been busy at that time, have I?" I said, surprised how much time passed helping Fluttershy with her groceries.

"I have to get going to Twilight's now. But I'll be back here tonight!" I turned to Fluttershy and said before walking towards her front door to leave.

"Okay Brayden, be sure to tell me all about the time you had with Twilight when you come back." Fluttershy reminded me and she had a sweet smile.

I nodded in agreement and promise, walking to the door. I turned the knob on the golden handle and pushed it open and closed the door shut normally. I then proceeded down the path and past the small bridge, heading towards Ponyville.

It was eight minutes later when I stepped forward toward the Golden Oaks Library which was Princess Twilight's home. I knocked on the door a few times and waited for either Twilight or Spike to answer the door. I could see Spike coming to answer the door.

"I think I told you quite clear Derpy that… oh, hey Brayden." Spike said, opening the door and looking to see me and mistaking me at first for Derpy Hooves.

"Hello Spike, I was just wondering if Twilight was home… because well, she's been expecting me." I said, starting to sound a little nervous.

"Yes she is, and I could tell by that tone that you seem desperate to see her. Do… do you have a crush on her, Brayden?" Spike asked, in a whisper.

I whispered back "Yes, but I'm also afraid at the same time… she'll reject me."

Spike said "Well, don't worry. I'm sure Twilight will understand when you get the time to confess your true feelings towards her. Even I'm still trying to confess to Rarity my feelings towards her."

"Well, I'm sure that Rarity will understand as well Spike," I said in a happy, assuring tone of voice. "Now, could you ask Twilight to come downstairs to greet me? You know how she is when it comes to books."

Spike said "Of course Brayden." He finally turned to the stairs and shouted "Twilight! Brayden's here to see you!"

"Coming!" Her beautiful voice said and the sound of trotting could be heard coming down the stairs. There would really be much space in the library for her to fly about unless she was outdoors. I could see her mulberry coated hoof come forth from upstairs. "Hello Brayden, it's so glad to see you. And you did come in on time in the week." She said, making her full appearance.

"It's so nice to see you as well Twilight." I said, sounding so dazed. I was too distracted by how beautiful Twilight was to me. But at the same time, a thought of worry interrupted me and I began thinking "Wait, what if she does reject me and say that I'm not the one for her?"

Twilight spreads open her wings and flies down from the edge of the stairs, landing softly on the wooden ground. She closes her wings and trots up to me, saying "I've been wanting to talk to you about what you are as the species of a human, Brayden."

I said "Well, what do you want to know about me?"

"Come upstairs and we'll both talk about it." Twilight said, and began trotting to the stairs. I began to follow her upstairs into the bedroom where Twilight slept and read books. But even then, she still had her royal duties to perform as a princess.

I walked up the wooden steps, following close behind her and I could see her bedroom as well-described when I watched the show back on Earth.

Twilight pulls up a large pillow cushion for me with her magic and says "Come sit with me." I let her sit first on the pillow cushion and then I sit next to her, feeling the softness of the large pillow. I felt rather comfortable on the pillow and Twilight next to me, made me feel happy and warm.

I couldn't stop staring into her purple eyes while we both looked at each other. Her eyes were sparkling with hopes that I could be falling in love with her that easily, but I haven't confessed yet that I had a crush on her. I've fallen in love with others back on Earth, but most of them would use me or say they already had someone, forcing me to be all 'never mine then!' and find someone else. But something told me by her eyes that she would be the one for me.

"So, I'd like to get to know a little information about you first since this is the first time that I've been getting to hang out with you." Twilight said, sounding quite patient and happy. "I'd like to know that besides playing guitars, what other things interest you?"

I snap out of my romantic gaze and say "Well, I do also like to read on an occasion, hang out with friends and I write songs, not to mention read all about planets and stars."

"Ah, you must be quite like me when it comes to reading books and looking at planets and stars," Twilight said, sounding like me and her had a lot in common together. "I'm not really a songwriter, but I love hanging out with my friends."

"Well, I've been hanging out with a few of your friends. Pinkie Pie is so cool and always puts a smile on my face, and Fluttershy is kind enough for me to stay at her cottage." I said.

Twilight giggled and said "Well, I am glad to see that you are getting along with my very best friends. If there's a reason you are feeling down and I'm not there, you just find them and talk to them about the incident you're going through whether it's a troubled past or a problem with something."

I finally decided to just let it all out and pull off a flirt. "I'm sorry Twilight, but I could not help but notice that you have beautiful eyes and a lovely mane. It definitely fits you perfectly." I said, in an attempt to flirt to her.

Twilight's cheeks began to glow pink and she said "Why- why thank you Brayden. I don't think anypony has ever complimented me like that before. You're probably the first."

"Indeed I am." I agreed. I just looked at her and smiled, saying "Well, you were going to ask me more questions Twilight?"

Twilight snapped out of her blushing and said "Oh yes, I was just wondering… where do you come from?"

I gulped nervously, knowing that if I told the truth about that I came from Earth and told everything about to her she would probably hate me for it. "The Everfree Forest." I lied.

"The Everfree Forest? Well, it's a complete wonder that you survived all those dangerous creatures and plants deep within to get here." Twilight said sounding quite surprised to hear me say that I came from the Everfree Forest.

"In fact, I think I grew up all alone in the Everfree Forest all by myself. The only friends I ever made were probably the insects and animals that roamed around," I lied to make up a believable story. "And when I heard a manticore or a team of Timberwolves nearby, I had to run and hide."

Twilight listened to my story, and she looked like she believed it. "Oh, that must have been awful being lonely without somepony to talk to." She said, feeling bad for me.

"But your friend Fluttershy found me on the forest floor and took me to her cottage… and that's basically how I met you and the rest of your friends." I said, telling out a bit of the truth.

"Oh yes. Fluttershy is the type that would probably help you out and she's sweet." Twilight said, getting up off the pillow cushion and using her magic to take out a book from the shelf and bring it over. The book was titled 'Creatures Outside of Equestria' and she opened to the page about humans.

The picture in the book looked just like I was described. "Is this the type of species you are sure to be?" Twilight asked.

I examined the picture carefully and said "Why yes. I remember rarely seeing other humans like that. But most of them were completely different. I'm one of the nicer humans."

Twilight giggled once again and said "Well, judging by how everypony here in Equestria has been telling about you. I could say that you are getting along with them quite well, including me."

"Well, it was first unexpected when Fluttershy first talked to me. I thought most of everypony here would want to send me back into the Everfree Forest where I came from." I said.

"Well, all the ponies here are friendly and understanding. But there always will be snobbish ponies in Canterlot who will judge you by your appearance." Twilight said.

"Well, one of them seemed to approve of me, but the other demanded to go back where I belonged." I said, agreeing to her point and of what happened when I went to Canterlot to meet Princess Celestia.

"Oh, you mean Fancy Pants and Prince Blueblood? Fancy Pants is quite respecting to those who look different, but do look out when facing Blueblood… let's just say that he thinks the unicorns are superior to any other race in Equestria." Twilight said, warning me at the mention of Prince Blueblood.

"You mean he's a unicorn who supports facism, right?" I asked, curiously.

"Fascism?" Twilight asked, completely unaware of what it was. I did not need to explain what it was and what the consequences were.

"I'll explain later." I said, assuring the confused Twilight. But at the same time, I felt like I had made a huge mistake.

"If you say so Brayden." Twilight said, no longer confused and used her magic to place the book back onto the shelf.

Twilight sat back down beside me on the bed cushion and she seemed to be a little closer towards me, placing a hidden blush on my face. Twilight's right hoof was close by, and a thought came that I should reach out with my left hand and holding it gently just a boy and girl in a steady relationship. Both of us seemed to be in a gaze, to Twilight it would be a friendly gaze, but to me… well, I already know the reason why.

Something felt wrong though, and it wasn't about Twilight. It was my head itself. I could faintly feel the inside of my head start to slowly bring back the vibrating that happened while I was at Sweet Apple Acres. "Oh no…" I thought to myself while moving my two hands towards my head.

"Are you okay Brayden?" Twilight said. Her face seemed to change from her patient to seeming quite concerned and a bit worried about me.

"Twilight… can you feel the temperature of my forehead?" I asked, while the vibrations in my head started to grow drastically.

Twilight grew more worried and said "Are you sure?"

"I'm… I'm not kidding or playing any jokes. Please feel my head." I said, the vibrations finally shaking my head from the inside.

Twilight placed her gentle and soft hoof onto my forehead and said "Oh my goodness Brayden… you're burning up!" I could see her face of now extreme worry and high concern. I was about to say something, but the image had begun to change and everything turned gray.

I felt like I was no longer in sync with my body and that I was being shaken everywhere around. The image of Twilight began to spin around fast like I was in the center of a twister that was accidentally set loose. I could hear loud screams like they were all screaming on a roller coaster, and I could not gain control of what was happening.

"Brayden!" A voice called out to me. I couldn't turn my head at all whatsoever. I felt completely paralyzed and I could only see what was in front of me. I could see the flash and a midnight blue alicorn I knew enter into the sequence. Princess Luna.

I tried to force my body to move, but I felt absolutely frozen and could not escape the terror of my disconnection. "Brayden, you've got to wake up!" Princess Luna said, trying to gain control and reunite me back in control with my body.

The screams started to overcome Luna's shouts of assistance to me and I couldn't hear her over the shouts. I could even hear a loud scream in the spinning image while being shaken around. I then realized that I must have passed out from the head vibrations.

I could see Princess Luna mouthing something towards me as if she was trying to say "Open your eyes Brayden!" I began to force myself to open my eyes and Princess Luna began flying backwards towards the small void she appeared from in the dream, the image began to spin faster and was resisting every attempt to wake me up.

"Wake up!" was the last thing I heard Princess Luna said before she became a small blue dot disappearing in the distance. The image became out of control and the screams were at the volume of blasting out my ears. The spinning came from afar and I felt like I was about to hit the ground of cement far below me. I couldn't move my mouth or make any sound while falling limp to the gray cement like a lifeless doll. A flash of white appears at the bottom and covers me entirely.

"Open your eyes Brayden!"

My eyes are forced open and I'm back in Twilight's house on the pillow cushion I passed out on, and I am still completely paralyzed. Twilight appears in the moment I opened my eyes and both of her hooves are holding onto my numb hands and pulling me up off the ground to sit me right back up. She had a look on her face what she seemed rather worried and frightened at the same time.

"Spike, you might want to call somepony for help!" Twilight says, knowing she is talking to Spike by the stairs that me and Twilight came up to. She managed to sit me right back up and let go of my hands, placing a hoof on my shoulder. "You okay, Brayden? You're pale." She said to me, sounding worried.

I manage to snap out of my paralysation and move a bit, unsure of how long I was passed out for. I took a look at my arms to see how pale I was. My skin looked like I was a ghost and even I was now realizing what was going on when I made a sound that I eventually was going to 'let it out'.

Twilight realized what I was about to do and quickly guided me to the nearest bathroom in her home. I entered the bathroom and closed the door behind Twilight. She was about to hear the saddest thing ever heard from me. I look into the toilet full of the water that was new after being flushed and I ended up barfing into the toilet. All Twilight outside could probably hear from me was the retching that I was making when I was 'letting it all out'. After all of the barf had been let out, I was taking deep breaths to relax my stomach.

"You alright in there Brayden dear?" I could hear Rarity calling from outside the door. I just continued to take deep breaths and pulled the handle on the side of the toilet to flush down what 'stuff' was there. I slowly got up and I felt very shaky. I then stumbled on my way to the door, grabbing the handle and turning it to see both Twilight and Rarity standing there, just seeing if I was okay.

"You're quite pale Brayden." Rarity said, trying to help me by going under my right arm and supporting my balance so I didn't fall and pass out again. "When I heard you fainted, I was both frightened and worried about you as a good friend to you."

Twilight had her hoof on my shoulder again and her face seemed close to me. "Don't worry Brayden, the doctor is going to be here soon."

At the same time, I felt embarrassed for throwing up at Twilight's place at the same time and I was able to stumble out words to her. "I'm so sorry for doing this Twilight." I managed to get out.

Twilight wrapped her right wing around me and pulled me into a gentle hug. "Shhhh… It's alright Brayden. It's not your fault." She says to me in a gentle, calm and soothing voice.

This definitely calms me down and I gently hug Twilight back by putting my arms around her slowly. My left hand is on her soft and silky mane and I look at Rarity from behind Twilight. She has a soft smile on her face when watching me hug Twilight. She must have known that I have a crush on Twilight just like the rest of my friends.

The sound of knocking at the door was heard and Rarity went downstairs to answer the door. I just kept my hug with Twilight who was rubbing my back gently. I keep the hug and look at Twilight's eyes. "I've always been afraid of doctors." I claimed to her.

"Well don't worry about Dr. Stable. He's not going to hurt you." She said, still rubbing my back. I remembered Dr. Stable from the episode "Read It and Weep" when Rainbow Dash hurt her wing and was reading 'Daring Do' while in the hospital.

The sound of hooves came trotting up the stairs and I turned to the sound of the hooves stepping upward on the wooden stairs, letting go of the hug between me and Twilight. It was Fluttershy, Applejack, Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash, Spike and Dr. Stable coming up the stairs. Even Rarity was coming with them.

"Oh Brayden, I was so worried when I heard you fainted a couple of minutes ago." Fluttershy said, gently hugging me out of worry.

Applejack approached and looked sad. "I tried to help ya when you became white at ma farm. I should have helped anyway."

Rainbow Dash flew above me and said "Don't you worry Brayden, you surely will have lots of time to recover… I hope."

"Aw rats! There goes my special recipe!" Pinkie Pie says out of the random. Everypony in the room including myself turns to look at Pinkie. She just shrugs and says "What? It was a recipe for Brayden to see."

Dr. Stable approaches me with a stethoscope and asks me to raise my shirt. I proceed to do what he says and he places it on my chest. "Breathe." He says. I breathe in and out while he examines my chest. "Did he do anything after waking up?" The doctor asks.

"Well, I heard that he had to 'barf'." Spike said, approaching me and examining as well.

"He did, doctor." Rarity said, still feeling bad that I had to go through all that.

The doctor put down his stethoscope and turned to the girls saying "Brayden is going to be absolutely fine. He just needs a few days to recover at the hospital."

"But… I was going to help Zecora… with her plant problem." I said weakly.

"Don't worry Brayden. We'll all take care of it for you. Poor you just needs to have to rest to help against the… what does he have, doc?" Rainbow Dash asked Dr. Stable.

Dr. Stable says "I'm afraid that he has the flu."

Twilight had her warm and gentle hoof on my shoulder and said "Please do get better soon Brayden. Don't worry as well, we'll take care of the problem Zecora asked you to help with."

"Okay…" I said, weakly as two ponies with a stretch came up the stairs. I shakily walked over to the stretcher and leaned backwards into it. The two ponies carrying it finally lifted the other end of the stretcher and began to carry it with me downstairs slowly. I could only look up as Dr. Stable kept telling me to just close my eyes and relax.

I was soon outside and a few of the ponies I knew, including Lyra and Scootaloo seemed rather worried, they tried to approach me, but the doctors told them there was nothing to see here and requested that they meet me at the hospital in a few hours.

I look in the sky and just relax while the two just carry me to a brick building nearby and enter inside. A few of the hospital staff are surrounding me the next afterwards. Dr. Stable takes out the one thing I've always feared since forever… the needle.

"Oh no! I'm not having that poke me!" I said, trying to back away from my fear. The doctor just sighed in joking and was trying to convince me that it did not hurt. But I knew damn well that it was going to hurt like crazy.

Two nurses had to hold onto my hand while Dr. Stable inserts the needle into my hand. It reminded me when I had the needle go into my hand at the hospital back on Earth while getting my wisdom teeth out. I grunted in pain while the needle was in and let out breaths when it came out.

A few of the nurses and Dr. Stable was chuckling a bit, and Dr. Stable said "You're a strong human. You managed to get through that needle. Just a sedative, Brayden… can't miss it."

I could feel myself growing weary of moving around and the sounds of the nurses chatting about me, while taking me into the elevator and going up the floors. My eyes started drooping to close shut and the voices of the nurses became so distant. I was drifting toward unconsciousness. I struggled to stay awake for what would happen next, but it was no use. The doctor had placed a pretty strong sedative into me to put me to sleep. I began to understand now why he wants me to feel better from the flu, and I quietly said "Thanks, doc." Before I had lost consciousness entirely and drifted into sleep.

It was only a matter of time until I felt better.
