He scurried around the building, avoiding the sight of ponies here and there. He looked up at the sky and saw it was about four pm. He saw Pinkie in a shop window, talking to a blue pony, which looked at least twice Pinkie's age.

She seemed to be ordering something. Pinkie got a metal plate with some muffins on it and passed it over using her hooves. The logic in this world made no sense, however, it was a shop and the older mare hadn't paid, so Skye assumed they both worked there and the muffins were for a party or something.

"Skye, where are you?" came Twilight's voice from where he had been waiting for her to come back. He looked at her, trying to find him and couldn't get to her due to ponies crossing the street between them. Skye spotted an old piece of paper on the floor, a receipt of some sort. He picked it up and folded it into a paper plane shape, which was actually quite sturdy.

The physics of this world made little to none sense. He waited until no ponies were around and then scribbled "Over here" on it. He wrote it with a pen he had in his shirt pocket, which he always took to work.

As he got ready to throw it, he didn't see a mare coming round a corner and he threw it. It hit the mare straight in the face. She looked at him. Skye couldn't move; he felt like this was it; he was going to be outcast again. Instead of running, or giving away his position, she just stared at him.

She was grey, with a blonde mane and orange eyes; which were the most intriguing aspect of her. Her eyes were somewhat out of alignment. She looked like she had a disability of some sort, Skye didn't judge her though, because he himself had one, ADHD, though a low form. He had trouble understanding some things and his mood changed quickly sometimes.

"Sorry, I meant to give it to Twilight over there" is all he could think to say. To Skye's surprise, the mare wasn't scared, or angry. Instead she looked over to Twilight, picked up the plane and said,

"Well, I am the mail-pony. I'll give it to her", and with that she walked off. She reached Twilight and passed her the plane, then pointed at Skye's location. Twilight gleamed again and sped over, faster than a bullet.

"Skye", she started, to which he nodded, "I have requested a meeting with Princess Celestia to meet you, I told her about the thing, and the spark, me, and…" at this point she started to find it hard to breathe. Skye put his hand on her muzzle,

"Twilight, take a deep breathe… And calm your passions" he said.

Twilight blinked, then apparently grabbed his hand with a hoof again and dragged him into the middle of the street, where a bunch of ponies saw him, "That was a fool proof plan, wasn't it?" he asked, sarcastically.

Twilight remembered that not all the ponies trusted him yet and tried to push him back into the ally way where he'd moved from the window. It was too late, the ponies saw him and were either trying to escape or kill him, or worse. Skye backed into a corner as Twilight watched, and she did something that shocked Skye, since her behaviour earlier.

She jumped in front of him and shouted, "Wait!" which stopped the ponies. Twilight stood there, ready to protect him.

"Don't protect the human!" a pony shouted. Another said,

"He's using you!" and other ponies shouted other things. Twilight sighed,

"If you would all just listen-"she started, but the ponies just kept shouting. Some of them just had weapons out of nowhere, and some were still trying to retreat. Twilight's mane seemed to become fire as she shouted suddenly, "LISTEN!", she started, then settled down, "He saw it, and you should all know what I'm talking about and what it means" she said.

"Twilight?" Skye asked, and Twilight turned around,

"What?" she asked.

Suddenly, from somewhere in the crowd, a black pony shouted, "She's possessed!", and ran towards Twilight with a spear,

"Seriously?" thought Skye as he lunged forward.

He pushed Twilight out of the way of the spear and she landed on front of another bunch of ponies who gasped. Skye wasn't sure if they gasped for his bravery, another pony going to kill a friend or himself getting impaled… WAIT, WHAT?!

Skye looked down to his stomach, where a wooden spear had penetrated his skin and gone through one of his organs, a kidney maybe? Skye looked at the Skye, then at the pony. He could only mumble three words, "You… Happy now?" he asked, before falling over sidewards and feeling the sharp pain get worse. He couldn't pass out as much as he tried, he could only see Twilight and about three other ponies running towards him.

His vision became blurred and he could only hear a faint gathering of voices, some clear, others not. He tried to move but failed. Twilight was right beside him, "Skye, hang in there! The hospital is only a mile away" she said, but Skye couldn't hang in there, and gave in to the wound again and the last thing he saw was a white blob saying one word, but he couldn't hear what it was.

There was a faint noise, coming from the nose of Skye, who was asleep in a bed, with curtains around him, maybe to stop other ponies seeing him. His eyes moved around under the blankets that were his eyelids. He slowly opened his mouth, and yawned deeply. "What?" he whispered. He heard the noise of someone coming in through the curtains, which he had not yet seen, "Who's there?" he asked. The reply he got was,

"I'm the nurse, I'm here to see if you're okay" she said. Had Skye woken up from a dream? The pain felt real, and so did the fear.

"I had the weirdest dream" he said, half conscious.

The nurse giggled, "What? Tell me about it" she said. Skye got up and rested against a pillow,

"Well, there were talking ponies" he said, which then gained another laugh from the nurse, "It's sounds-", Skye started, but then he opened his eyes, and his vision cleared and became vivid. The nurse in front of him was in fact, a… talking pony.

"So, this isn't a dream?" he asked her. He realized he had been stabbed and looked at the wound, he went to lift his shirt, but it had been covered with blood and replaced with hospital clothing.

"It was a very brave thing to do what you did, foolish but brave" she said, "Saving Twilight like that. The pony who tried to kill her has been apprehended" she finished. Skye looked at a tray in front of him,

"Is this for me?" he asked. The nurse nodded and opened the blinds behind the bed in front of a window. Skye reached down and was about to grab a spoon, then forgot about the spoon and looked at the bowl of oats and milk in front of him, he didn't care about getting it down his clothes, so he picked it up and drank it whole.

The nurse was about to leave, but saw him and rushed over, "Be careful, milk stings injuries you know" she said. Skye held the bowl with one hand as he made a 'thumbs up' towards the nurse. She gave a look as if to say 'Very well', and then left behind the curtain, which Skye could see in the corner of his eye.

"Oh and Twilight and her friends will be coming in a couple of minutes, Twilight told them what happened" she said. Skye finished the bowl and looked at a cup of juice? It was pink and had bubbles on it, he picked the cup up and looked at the curtain,

"Okay, and thank you for the service" he said. Behind the curtain he could hear the nurse saying,

"So, he isn't evil".
