Slowly the headaches are fading, I’m able to think again.

I never have experienced something comparable to this before. It felt like all my power was sucked out of my body, I expected to die - to be honest.

“Do you feel allright, my dear?”, asks Rarity.

“I...,” I breathe heavily, “I am not sure. It was so sudden... Do you know anything?” I look into Twilight’s direction.

“Umm... I don’t know either... What’s about the box there on your lap?”, she responds.

“They are pain killers from where I come from.”

“Where is that?”

“I don’t know, since Ponyville’s geographical position is unclear to me. Maybe I will tell you later, if you get me a map,” I lie.

She seems to be lost in thoughts for a moment

“Okay, you will tell me later. What you did, was not magic, it was something essential different, more a process of... creation. You literally created matter. I don’t know how, but we will run some tests, is that okay? Maybe we are able to reproduce the result.”

"I don't like this idea very much. I feel horrible at the moment and I don't know how 'creation' exactly worked," I emphasize the word 'creation' ironically,"And I don't trust you yet"

"It is possible that the concussion you have is responsible for the pain you suffered. And there is no need for distrust, we don't know either how you got on Ponyville's market square where you were picked up. You're a mystery to us. I think I will consulate princess Celestia. Maybe she can give us a reasonable explanation for this incident," she claims.

I nod. "Perhaps."

I hear voices trough the room's door, they interrupt our conversation. Then the door slams open. A pink mare storms in.

"Hey you, do you want to party!" she screams cheerfully.

Twilight and me exchange an annoyed look, while my head starts to spin again.

"Pinkie Pie, I think our guest isn't in the condition for this now. Maybe new clothing, not awful as his current, will lighten up his mood. I have a wonderful idea..." says Rarity.

She exits the room, two additional ponies come in. What was first? The show or this world?

"Do all your friends behave this weird," I ask Twilight quietly, eyeing the three mares standing in the back.

"Well, they don't intend to... Maybe I shouldn't have told them, that you're here, until I made sure you are well. They are all incredibly excited."

Curiously Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Flash (That's her name, right?) and Applejack come closer.

"These are my friends Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash" - I knew I got this name wrong! - " ... and Applejack, which are three of the six elements of harmony. The mare spying through the door is Fluttershy," she says amused pointing at each of them when they are mentioned, "This is the human Jack Smith."

We shake hands, ehm hooves?

"Twilight, may I ask you to contact your princess?" I ask, "I really want to know what's going on."

"Ok, I'll be right back."

The akward silence she leaves, is broken by Applejack, "Ya not a pony of many words?"

"I guess. Ehm... Do you dye your mane, Rainbow Dash?", I try to do small talk.

She looks at me furiously, "Of course not! I'm far to awesome!"

Again this unpleasant quietness. I look out of the window. There is a city some miles away at the cliff of a mountain. Blue as on a sunny summer day at earth is the sky. Something, a carriage maybe, flies up there slowly coming nearer.

"It's princess Celestia", says Twilight standing at the left. Also Fluttershy - this name fits her well - is in here now.

The purple mare must have entered the room without any noise. She can teleport, can't she? I regret that I didn't pay much attention to 'My Little Pony' when I was at earth.

"Princess Celestia really is curious about the last events. Please behave if she wants to talk to you."

"I know how to act properly. Since I don't want any trouble it's maybe better I do so."

From my observations I can tell now that Twillight is the personality most similar of the six ponies to me. Fluttershy seems to be sensible and - as if I didn't expect that - shy, Pinkie Pie constantly jumping around babbling nonsense is the crazy and cheerful type, Applejack with her strong accent and country-like looks is a bit down-to-earth and Rainbow Dash is a tomboyish daredevil. Rarity's appears to be a bit snobbish, but as all of these concepts about their characters it is still a work in progress.

I wonder what this princess could be like.

That's when she steps in. Her 'aura' - I don't know how to put it - tells me instantly she's royality. Everyone, but me, bows, which makes the princess feel uncomfortable as her facial expressions reveal. This gesture makes her quite sympathetic to me.

She is a very impressive physical appearance. Seven feet tall and covered in fur as white as fresh snow she seems to be even more unreal than this whole cartoony world.

"Hello, little ponies and my dear guest, Mr. Smith. My faithful student Twilight Sparkle," she smiles, "already informed me about the recent situation and so I came here as fast as possible to investigate. Twilight wrote you didn't experienced something like this before, is this right?"

"Yes."

"She also told me you don't know how you got here and how to get home, since you you are not aware where Ponyville is. Have you ever seen ponies like us before?" she asks.

I consider to tell a lie, but I don't know any reason why. Anyway I wonder how she realized that quickly that I'm maybe not from Equestria. But I guess as a princess she knows much about her own country and the species living in.

"No, I haven't been to Equestria before."

The five smaller ponies make noises of surprise, while Celestia laughes lightly.

"Do you have any idea what happened?"

"Am I allowed to perform a test? It won't hurt."

"Yes, feel free," I say nonchalantly.

The concerns, I mentioned in the conversation with Twillight, are gone. This princess creates an impression of endless professionalism - and I'm not in the position for negotiations, since I'm even to weak to stand up now.

"Thank you."

Her horn glows slightly. A slideshow of Mental images of the past few minutes begins to cross my inner eye. I feel how she digs deeper and deeper into my memories, a very uncomfortable experience. I feel like mind raped, to put it bluntly. Maybe she noticed this emotions - they slowly fade as she stops the procedure concentrating on the moment of the 'incident'.

Suddenly it stops.

"Twilight was right, it wasn't magic, but it's closely related."

She pauses a moment.

"It's in your and our interest to cooperate at this point. I'd like you to investigate and travel with my student Twillight and her friends," she gives them a warm smile again, "because this kind of power you posses could lead to a breakthrough in the application of magic giving us a deep insight about the foundations of our world and will help us to find a way home for you. Do you agree?"

"Yes, I do."

I understand intuitively that the princess really is excited about what she learned.

"Are you okay with it, too, girls?"

"Yes," they say in unision.

"It's settled then."

And that is how the journey begins.
