"Good job, Mark. Not even an hour here and you've already been knocked out." Timeithian rumbled out at me as I stood in the void again. I opened my mouth, only to realize that I couldn't talk. "Use your mind; you can't really speak when you're not dead." He offered, making me roll my eyes.

'Yea, well I don't even know where the hell I am!' I countered, folding my arms.

"You're on my home world, in the land of Equestria. I was going to make you find out without my help, but I've decided that you've been hurt enough." He answered, and I could bloody tell the bastard was grinning.

'Bloody hell... Explains the talking filly, then...' I grumbled.

"Ah, you've already met Applebloom, correct? She's very sweet, and doesn't judge anypony by what they look like." Timeithian rumbled, chuckling.

'anyPONY?!'

"Yes, anyone, someone, everyone, and nobody in your language are anypony, somepony, everypony, and nopony in ours. If you want to get accepted faster, you better start switching your words to fit ours. And don't go 'Grammar Nazi' on me."

'I'll go insane...' I groaned.

"Well, 'twas fun talking to you, but you're waking up now. Try and don't fuck up the ponies that're around you at this second." Timeithian rumbled, and the black turned to static, before my eyes started slowly forcing themselves open. The first thing I saw was Applebloom, who was glaring at what looked like a cyan Pegasus with a rainbow mane and tail.

'If I was on Earth, that Pegasus would automatically be pegged as gay.' I thought, before groaning a little.

"What the hay, Rainbow Dash?!" She yelled, before turning to me, eyes watery.

"I'm... Not dead, at least..." I groaned, feeling liquid trickle down my forehead and onto the back of my helmet. The Pegasus chuckled hesitantly, rubbing the back of her, I think, head with a fore hoof, looking down at the ground and away from us.

"Heh... Sorry about that..." She muttered, barely loud enough for me to hear.

"It's fine... At least you didn't split open my head..." I groaned, gently getting Applebloom off of me before sitting up. The liquid that was pooling in my helmet ran down my neck and instantly started soaking my shirt, as the trickle ran down my face slowly.

"Oh, Ah think ya should get that checked out..." Applebloom said, looking up at my face.

"Let me get my helmet off, first..." I groaned, twisting it back and forth. A gasp from above made me figure that this Rainbow Dash thought my helmet was attached to my body. As I took my helmet off, I slowly cracked my neck and took out my knife, getting a low growl from Rainbow Dash and a slight whimper from Applebloom.

"You got five seconds to put the knife down!" Dash shouted, tensing up.

"Relax... Just seeing my face with it..." I muttered, tilting the knife to where I could see my reflection in the dying light. I winced at what I saw.

'Damn dude, you were lucky you didn't hit the bloody pole with your neck.' I thought to myself, as I saw that my forehead was effectively split open, leaking blood as I watched.

"I'll be fine, I just need this wrapped up." I said to them, putting up my knife and pulling out the water from earlier, before tilting my head back and pouring the contents over my face. It stung like hell, but I only winced and cleaned it out as best as I could.

"What're ya'll doing?" Applebloom asked, confused.

"Cleaning the gash out, so I can see how bad the gash really is." I replied, wiping my head off with a gloved hand, not really paying attention to the blood on it.

"Oh man..." I heard Rainbow Dash mutter, while Applebloom looked concerned.

"Would ya'll be mad if ah'd get ma sister?" She asked, looking up at me.

"Go ahead, I'm not complaining." I replied. Applebloom nodded and half ran inside, leaving me alone with the fruity looking Pegasus.

"Um... Like I said before... I'm sorry..." She said again, landing near me and rubbing her head with a fore hoof some more.

"It's fine. And I have a question, to clear my mind of this; are you a lesbian?" I asked, leaning back.

"Heh. Not like I get that almost every day... No, I'm not a lesbian, just grew up with these colors." She scowled.

"Well you're lucky I'm not like other humans; they'd peg you for being one automatically and treat you like one, not caring about your feelings." I explained, looking around my person for something to entertain myself while I waited. I remembered my iPod, and grinned as I took it out, stuck an ear bud into my ear, and started playing Hollywood Undead: Another Way Out.

"What're you doing?" She asked, but stopped as I cut her off with a hand.

"I'm listening to music. I'll show you later, if you want." I replied, earning a salute. I chuckled, causing her to look a little confused.

"What's so funny?" Another Southern voice asked, a little older than Applebloom's, yet still feminine.

"Well..." I started, but I trailed off when I saw who asked. "Um..." I mumbled, not able to form any actual words, other than stare at the fact that a goddess, who looked like a pony, had come out of the house.

"What?" She asked, causing me to blush.

"Nothing... Gorgeous..." I muttered, rubbing the back of my head. Apparently she heard me, as she backed up a little and blushed hard too.
