AN: I'm deciding to do anthro ponies. Ponies itself would seem strange, and I don't want to make a human Equestria, so combined the two and decided 'Anthro will be satisfying for most people, right?' Possibly, possibly not. Leave a comment in the comment section below... Now for the story! What I think they will look like is below.

-Mercy Hospital, Equestria-

"Twi, he's been in this hospital for a week, I don't think he's going to get better." Applejack said, annoyed.

"And, he had a gun and some other device in his possessions. How do we know that he isn't dangerous?" Rainbow asked.

"That's why we took away the gun, but I'm pretty sure that that device of his can't cause harm." Twilight said, staring at Daniel. They removed the iron cylinders from his chest and legs, then patched up the wounds. He lost a lot of blood and they believed that he had a one in a million chance to survive.

After studying his memories and his body for a good three days, she wrote a message to Princess Celestia explaining the situation. After she wrote the message, she went back to Earth and studied the humans, albeit at a range. From what Twilight saw from the small town, she thought that Daniel was very fit from when she saw the physical health of the rest of them. He had a well toned torso, strong arms, a light tan on his skin. From what she saw from other humans, he was very handsome also.

When she thought that, she blushed furiously and pushed her head into her hands. Fluttershy and Rarity were holding his hands, the former replaying the day's events in her head while the latter lost in thought. All the while, his device was slowly ticking away down time on its screen with Pinkie occasionally clicking the button on top of it.

When the time struck 7:00 PM on the clock, the alarm went off on his phone, with Pinkie starting to sing along to the song playing. (Breaking Inside by Shinedown) The nurse walked into the room, closing the door quietly. "Alright everypony, visiting hours are over." Everypony in the room groaned in protest.

"I'm sorry, but visiting hours are over and-" A deep voiced groan stopped her. Everypony in the room looked at Daniel, his heart monitor shooting up to the normal rate for hearts to beat.

"He's awake!" Shouted Pinkie, and the door opened quickly with the nurse exiting quickly.

"We need you to leave the room for the moment girls." The doctor said as he walked in. They all groaned, but stepped outside.

-Daniel's PoV-

Darkness... The only thing I've seen for a long time. I replayed the memories in my head for a while, but some got hazy and didn't come out how I thought I remembered it. I was playing a memory of playing Halo 4 when I heard my alarm go off, pushing me to consciousness. A female was singing along to the song, very well I might add.

"Alright... visiting... over." Another female voice, albeit broken, said. A round of groans from others in the room sounded around me.

"I'm sorry... over..." I tried speaking, but it only came out as a groan. A heart monitor steadily rising with my heartbeat.

"He's awake!" A very excited female voice said. The door opened and a faint yell reached my ears as the clopping of footsteps on marble sounded. The door opened once more.

"We need you to leave the room for the moment girls." A male voice sounded, and another round of groans sounded once more, but the door opened and closed once more.

"Alright, let's check on his wounds." The male voice said once more. I felt my blanket get pulled away and I groaned in protest. I opened my eyes and quickly shut them, the blinding light hurting my pupils. I opened my eyes more slowly, my eyes getting used to the light.

"The one in his chest healed up nicely, but a scar was left behind." Some scribbling could be heard, then the blanket is pulled down farther, revealing my genitals and legs.

"Scars on both legs as well." More scribbling, and I can finally make out dark figures standing over me.

"Hello, what's this?" The male voice said once more. "Red eye color, very interesting." Furious scribbling can be heard. I could finally make out the figures standing over me, a white woman and brown man in hospital attire. The ivory colored girl had a clipboard and was writing down notes furiously, a few pink curls escaping her nurse's cap. The brown colored guy was grabbing random tools from different cabinets, his chocolate hair slicked back.

"It seems our patient is finally conscious." I gulped, my throat dry, and croaked.

"Yeah... How long was I out?" He turned around and smiled, then said.

"A week, although it was surprising. Your wounds were severe, and you lost a lot of blood. We actually expected you to come out worse, but lets not let that worry us. The ponies that brought you here are waiting outside for you." He nodded to the nurse, who walked out and closed the door, a few muffled words heard.

"Lets get you covered up." He pulled the blanket over my chest, tucking it under.

"Thanks doc." He smiled, then frowned.

"Although your anatomy is similar to ours, there are some small differences with yours and ours. You don't have ears on the top of your head, but on the side. Also, your genitalia is different from ours, along with your feet." I cocked my head to the side slightly and said

"I've noticed that you and the nurse looks different from me, I couldn't think of why you are different. You look closer to an equine, although we are fairly similar to each other." I rubbed my chin, thinking. The door swung open and six girls walked in, along with the nurse.

"You're okay!" A pink blur said to me, grabbing me and placing me into a crushing hug. I could still breath, albeit slightly.

"I'm okay." I said while hugging her back hesitantly. The rest were looking with disbelief.

"Isn't Pinkie crushing you like a foal does to a teddy bear?" The sky blue one asked, a tomboyish voice that was familiar.

"It is a bit overwhelming, but I can still breath and maneuver pretty well with her like this." I said, the pink pony still hugging me.

"Well, let us introduce ourselves. My name is Twilight Sparkle, I run the library just down the street." The lavender colored pony said.

"I'm Rarity, darling. I run the Carousel Boutique down the street, opposite from the library." The ivory colored pony with curly purple hair.

"Nice to meet you." I replied, giving a smile.

"I'm Rainbow Dash, fastest flier in all of Equestria and future Wonderbolt. I'm the captain of the weather team here in Ponyville." The sky blue pony said, giving a cocky smile and puffing out her chest.

"Ah'm Applejack, I run Sweet Apple Acres, the largest orchard in all of Equestria, home to the Zap Apple and the best apples in Equestria." The orange pony said. Her southern accent is so familiar, and so is Rarity's, Twilight's, and Rainbow Dash's. I hadn't heard Pinkie's voice, so I'm not so sure about meeting them before.

"I'm Pinkie Pie! I'm an employee at Sugarcube Corner, the best bakery in all of Ponyville! What's your favorite flavor of cupcake, what's your favorite ice cream flavor, what's your favorite type of cake, what's your favorite type of music, what's your favorite type of -" Twilight used a hand and covered her mouth, Pinkie speaking into her hand, still hugging me.

"While Pinkie talks into Twilight's hand, Fluttershy, please introduce yourself." Applejack said. The butter colored girl stepped forward, hiding behind her long pink hair.

"I-I'm Fluttershy, I'm a veterinarian that watches all of the a-animals in Ponyville." She retreated quietly behind the rest of them.

"Hello to you all, my name is Daniel, and I don't know who any of you are, but I've heard your voices before." I said. Twilight frowned for a second, then said

"We were the ones who saved you after the mafia left you to die in that forest. This might come as a shock, but you're no longer on Earth anymore." I slumped slightly in the bed, which Pinkie took notice and gave me a small smile. I sighed and said.

"I guess it's for the best. I was going to be constantly hunted by that damned mafia group, so living here would give me a fresh start and a clean slate. I won't have to live in fear and look over my shoulder anymore." I gave a small smile to the rest of them, which gave a smile back.

"I'm actually surprised." Twilight said thoughtfully. "If I was in your position, I would probably freak out and run away." She frowned and scratched her chin.

"The reason why I'm so steadily accepting of this is because I'm tired of living in fear because I had some mafia members breathing down my neck every second of every day. A change of pace is nice." I looked around the room and spotted my iPod on a table just out of reach.

"Can you give me my iPod? I want to see something." They hesitated slightly, casting worried glances to each other. Applejack grabbed the electronic and gave it to me hesitantly. I took it and put in the password quickly, granting access to my personal items. I chuckled as I saw the background, which is a black screen with a white crowbar across it, saying "When all else fails, crowbar the fucker." I tapped the music icon, revealing the first few artists.

I scrolled down to the bottom quickly, and saw that I had over five hundred artists. I switched over to the songs and scrolled down to the bottom, although it took quite a while longer. I reached the bottom and saw that I had almost eight thousand songs on it. I smiled widely and started looking for a song to play.

"What're you doin'?" Applejack asked with a hint of a threat behind it.

"I'm looking for a song to play right now." I started playing Kyoto by Skrillex.

Halfway through the song, I see Rainbow Dash nodding to the music, while Applejack wore a suspicious glare, Rarity's face twisted into a disgusted scowl. Twilight was excited because of the small device playing music, Fluttershy hiding from sight, but I still see her hair bouncing up and down slightly, and Pinkie wearing a wide smile. The song ended, and everyone groaning.

"What was that awesome music?" Rainbow Dash said. "Dubstep, my dear Rainbow Dash." I explained.

"That certainly wasn't my tastes." Rarity said, still scowling.

"How about classical? Does that tickle your fancy?" She gave me a suspicious look, and I pulled out my iPod again and pulled out Beethoven.

"Well, I do have a few classical songs, if you would like to listen." She nodded and I started playing Symphony No. 9 by Beethoven.

Rarity, Twilight, and Fluttershy looked at the iPod in surprise, while Pinkie and Applejack held indifferent looks, while Rainbow Dash held a scowl, which she didn't try hiding. After an hour, I stopped it and put away the device, which got protests from everyone.

"I'm sorry, but I think the doctor wants you to leave since it's probably past visiting hours." The doctor held a small smile, but said

"Yes, although I did enjoy the music, it is past visiting hours and I would like you all to leave so I can go home." Before they had time to argue, he pushed them out the door.

"Hey doc, when do I get to leave?" I asked him.

"You can leave tomorrow, in the morning." He walked out the door and shut off the lights, leaving me to peer out the window.

"The night's here are beautiful." I got up and stretched slightly, walking a bit before my legs got tired, then crawled back into the bed and tried to go to sleep. I laid there for about thirty minutes, closing my eyes and counting sheep, then I just opened my eyes and sighed.

"I can't go to sleep..." I trailed off as I looked out the window. I saw a small figure flying in front of the moon, turn around, and started flying in my direction. It stopped a few yards from where it started. It turned around once more then flew off into the clouds. I shook my head slowly, closed my eyes and counted to five. I opened my eyes and looked back at the moon.

"I wish that Earth was this beautiful at night, but pollution and other things just cloud up the sky." I said quietly. I went back to the bed and eventually fell asleep, not noticing the dark figure standing over me.

"You think... my nights are beautiful?" A female voice said. I opened my eyes and saw the dark figure standing over me, her eyes glistening with tears.

"Who are you?" I asked quietly. She gasped and retreated back to the shadows.

"Do you really think my nights are beautiful?" She asked.

"Of course... When I was on Earth, the nights were always clouded and you couldn't see the stars, and the moon was barely visible. Seeing the nights this clearly is almost a blessing." I said. She quickly came from the shadows and swept me into a bone crushing hug, almost cutting off breathing like Pinkie.

"Thank you..." She said quietly.

"You're welcome?" I said confusedly.

"Nopony likes my nights, that's why ponies sleep through it." I looked up and felt a drop of water hit my nose.

"Look at it this way. Ponies work all day, and they're tired after a hard days work. The night is perfect because it's dark, quiet, and peaceful. Ponies can sleep easily through the night then they can through the day, and those who have to work at night can look up at the beautiful night sky and feel at peace with themselves." She looked down at me and smiled, her face young and very beautiful.

"I never saw it like that... Thank you." She gave me another hug, although softer.

"You're welcome." I repeated. She let me go, and I was able to get a full look at her. She was at least seven feet tall, with a large horn on her head, a beautiful ebony dress that matches her fur perfectly. She was adorned in jewelry, a small smile on her face and a gleam in her eyes.

She turned around and I got a look at a pair of dark purple wings. She opened the window and jumped out, her wings splaying almost immediately after she starts dropping. I went back to the bed and crawled back in, thinking about this nightly visitor. I closed my eyes and almost immediately fell asleep, having a nice dream about the ponies I met.
