After they went back to the hospital and explaining everything to the doctors and nurses, and the six ponies even offered to pay for a new window. They even convinced the doctor that had been treating him to not put the restraints back on. Though he felt ashamed for how nice they were treating him after he tried to kill himself and almost taking one of their friends with him.

Though he knew that they forgave him, and to little comfort, as that may be, he still felt disturbed about being in a world of talking ponies. He still flinches every time one of them tried to talk to him, or when the doctor did a check up on him making sure that along his outside adventure he didn't get to hurt. But besides a couple of cuts from the broken glass he passed that little exam, he would still have to stay under constant observation for at least a month to make sure he didn't have any more suicidal tendencies.

For a week the only ones allowed in his room were the doctors and nurses that treated him. He still had a tough time letting the doctors take a look at him. The one good thing that came out of not having that many visitors was it gave him time to think, and he even started to remember stuff about his own world, and he even thought he remembered stuff about his own life as well.

"Well howdy to you." He looked up in surprise as the orange pony named Applejack stood in front of him. "What, don't tell me you got short term memory loss?" She gave him a concerned look.

"Uhh, no I don't. You just surprised me is all. I wasn't expecting visitors after what happened." He looked away in shame. "Which I am truly sorry for, Ms. Applejack."

"Hey now don't go apologizing again, like we said we really do consider you as a friend. But I'm glad to see you remember my name, though you don't have to be so formal about it. Just call me Applejack." She looked at him and nodded when he made eye contact. "Besides as much, we kind of expected you to react that way, though not to that extreme though. But we completely understand your reaction. You were just scared and lost, and you'd figured that without knowing who you truly are you couldn't face that." She put a concerned hoof on him, and he flinches a little.

"But still, I almost dragged you down with me." A tear rolled down his face.

"Hey now don't go blaming your self for that, I was only thinking about saving ya. Now how have you been? When they told us that we couldn't see you till today we all got concerned, how are they treating ya?" She asked trying to change the subject.

"They've been treating me fine, though they're watching me like a hawk which I can't blame them. As for how I'm doing well I think I remembered stuff from my world, I think I even remembered some little stuff about my life." He answered still trying to avoid making eye contact with her again.

"Well that's great, what did ya remember about your self?" She asked taking a seat. "And don't worry I've got nothing else planned for today. Shot some of my friends might even stop by later."

"That be nice I think, besides you, I don't think I got around to introducing myself. As for what I remembered, well did you perhaps find any luggage?" He asked.

"Mmm, yeah my brother while checking the farm had found strange luggage. I figured they might be your's, but I guess it slipped my mind a little. So does this mean you remember how you got here then?" She asked giving him a curious look.

"No, I just remember packing up some stuff and that's the last thing I remember before waking up here. Though I remember tidbits about myself, like I'm sure I love to read, I think I also got into writing though I'm not sure." He put his hand up to his head and rubbing his temple to help with a slight headache.

"Don't try to force your self to remember, otherwise you might end up with even more damage up there." She said gently tapping her hoof on his head, and they both gave a slight chuckle. "So you also said you remembered stuff about your world, can you tell me what those are? They don't look like hooves, claws, or paws." She asked pointing to his hands.

"Oh, yeah these are called hands. I'm surprised none of you knew that I mean from what I hear you guys have minotaur's here. If I remember correctly they should have a similar build like us, besides being a walking talking bull of course." He answered.

"Yeah, but I haven't actually met one of those yet. So sorry for not knowing. Now how do you know about them?" She asked back.

"If I remember correctly they're considered myths in my world, among other creatures here." He answered.

"So are there ponies in your world?" She asked the question was building up in her mind for a minute.

"Yeah, I think, though there are no unicorns or pegasi. Just I guess your term would be earth ponies. Though no offense, if I remember correctly they're considered livestock." He said looking away.

"None taken, I mean you're from a different world so I guess it makes sense that other species would evolve." She said giving him a smile. "Oh that does sorta remind me, right before we got back here and you stopped me and said that I was really soft, what did you mean?"

"Oh, that..." He looked away and she could see him blush. "Your coat is soft, and I slightly remembered that same feeling. I guess that's when you carried me here?" She nodded. "I don't think I can repay you for that, and for what you did for me at the cliff."

"As I said, think nothing of it. So can you tell me a little more bout your world?" She asked. "Like what do ponies do? And I would like to hear some more of these myths."

"Sure, but you don't exactly look like you'd enjoy a history lesson." He said looking at the cowgirl, which reminded him to work on the native exchange for certain words.

"Nah, you seem to really enjoy talking about them. Though you only told me a little." She tilted her head to the side a little. "Oh, and before I forget, like I said my brother found some of you're luggage and I hope you don't mind, but I dug through some of it and found some of your clothes." Putting her head in her saddlebag and pulling out what looked like a shirt and shorts. "Figured as much as you have, you must wear them all the time."

"Oh, yeah." His face turned beet red. One of the things he remembered was that it was considered indecent to expose your self, especially to ladies. The hospital gown didn't cover as much as he wanted.

That was actually the first thing that came to mind, though none of them seemed to care. which didn't surprise him since most of the ponies he saw barely had any clothing if at all on. But he was still self-conscious about it, knowing he ran around the place with something that even barely covered your torso. He grabbed the clothes and looked at her with a smile of appreciation.

"Thanks, it's actually considered uhh, well... to not have umm, any clothes on." He look down in shame.

"Noth'n to be embarrassed about sugar cube, I mean barely anypony wears clothes." She smiled at him.

"So I've noticed, but still I would feel a little bit more comfortable if you, umm, looked away?" He asked, making both of them blush a little.

"Sure, but don't be ashamed about you're own skin." She said turning around, you quickly take the shorts and slide them on under the covers.

"Alright I'm done, hope the doctors won't mind though." He said.

"I'm sure they won't, so are you gonna tell what you remember about your world?" This made him chuckle and relax a little bit.

After telling her all he remembered about the myths, and what ponies and you're typical hoarse did. She sat there nodding and saying some small words as he talked. Though she was glad to see that he was somewhat more comfortable than when he first arrived.

"...and that's pretty much it." He finished.

"Wow, so this raises the question of what you're gonna eat?" She asked.

"Well, I think if I remember correctly there should be a cookbook that has stuff in it for vegetarians. People who only eat vegetables, fruits, and other stuff that you ponies eat. If I remember correctly some of my kind used it as a diet, but there should be plenty of recipes that should have the necessary nutrients for me." He answered not making eye contact.

"Good, I mean it's good to know that I won't find one of my cows or pigs missing." This made them both laugh.

"Mr. Jenkins?" They both turn towards the door. "You have more visitors." the nurses said.

"It's alright let them in." He said though he couldn't help but look away in shame knowing who it was.

"Hey guys, you just missed story time." Applejack said as her friends walk in.

"Oh really? What was it about?" Twilight asked.

"He just got done telling me what he remembered about his world, though he only remembers tidbits about himself." Applejack answered.

"Well that makes sense, the doctor did say that he did hit his head pretty hard. So at least you remembered stuff right?" Twilight asked with a comforting smile.

"Yeah, something." He mumbled.

"What got him so down?" Rainbow asked.

"He still feels bad about what happened." Applejack said putting a hoof on his hand. "But don't worry I think I managed to smooth that out."

"Oh, good cause I think this calls for a party!" Pinkie Pie said excitedly.

"How about we introduce our selves first and wait until he gets released?" Rarity asked.

"What no party?" Pinkie deflated a little.

"I would like a party once I feel better." They all turned to him, a look of pity was on Pinkie. "But first I would agree with the beautiful mare though. I would like to get to know you all a little better." Rarity blushed a little, and Pinkie practically bounced off the walls.

"Well I see he has good manners, let me introduce myself. I'm Rarity and I'm a designer of sorts." She said taking a little bow.

"Interesting, no offense but I personally have no fashion sense. At least none that I can remember." He looks away a little trying to focus.

"Well we might have to fix that now won't we?" Rarity asked, and he gave her a small chuckle and a small smile.

"My name's Pinkie Pie. So what kind of cake do you want? Do you even eat cake? Cause who doesn't like cake, especially if it's chocolate cake." She liked her lips for a second. "But if you don't what about a cupcake? Or how about muffins? Ooo, what about pie?" Pinkie bounced on his bed which made him flinch a little.

"Pinkie get down, you're scaring the poor thing." Rarity said as a glow surrounded Pinkies tail and pulled her away.

"No it's fine, I'm just still just a little afraid I guess. To answer your question Pinkie, yes my species does eat all of those you mentioned. And I think a chocolate cake would be great." He said trying to hide his uneasiness.

"Well before Pinkie asks you any more questions, I'm Twilight Sparkle and it's nice to meet you officially." She nodded her head, and he did the same.

"So I take it from what I just saw, unicorns can use magic then?" He asked.

"Yes, we can. Though everything has it's own natural magic, it's just that unicorns just use more arcane magic." Twilight said, and he gives a slight nod in agreement.

"Yeah that's nice and all, but I'm Rainbow Dash." She introduced herself. "You know the one who flew down and saved your miserable butt?"

"Rainbow!" Applejack growled a little.

"No, it's fine. Then I owe you my thanks and let me know if there's anything I can do to repay you. That also goes for you as well Applejack." Both mares look at him in surprise.

"You don't owe us a thing sugar cube." Applejack said giving Rainbow a dirty look.

"Fine, fine I'll let it slide this one time. But if I ever have to save your butt again you so owe me." He just gave a slight nod to Rainbow.

"Hey, whose that in the corner?" He asked, and their attention shifted to wear his gaze was.

"That's just Fluttershy, she's very shy." Pinkie whispered.

"I can tell." He whispered back, but something about the yellow pegasus made him think. "Hey, do you like animals?"

"Umm, uhh, maybe a little..." The shy pegasus managed to squeak out.

"Come on Fluttershy, don't be so modest. You could call her our town's local veterinarian." Rarity said.

"Mmm, I did somewhat remember having a dog I think I named Princess. If I remember correctly she had the most pretty blue eyes." This caught the yellow pegasus attention and she came toward him hesitantly, he didn't know why but with her he felt a little more relaxed. Maybe because of her shy and timid nature, while the others had kind of scared him a little he admitted to himself. Though he also felt like he should hug her, and make sure she doesn't get hurt, again that was due to her nature.

"So, umm, you have dogs where you come from?" Fluttershy asked quietly to where he had to strain in order to hear it.

"Oh yeah, and a lot more animals." This made her feel more comfortable and she stopped shaking. "I would love to tell you about them sometime, but first I guess I should tell you my name. I know I already told Applejack but I feel it's only right since you all are making an effort, I'm Brandon Jenkins." He said.

"That's a unique name," Twilight said.

"Yes it is, but I find it smashing. It's just so foreign." Rarity said making him blush a little.

After that, they talked a little, and he shared what he remembered with the rest of the group. They all sat there listening, but Twilight seemed to have intense focus when he was talking about the myths he remembered. He would have thought he was under a microscope under her eye.

"Wow, so your world might have had a lot of the same species we have here," Twilight said with glee. "That's so amazing if you remember more do you mind telling me?"

"I don't see why not." Though he was taken aback by the question, he finally felt a little more relaxed himself though. He gave a big yawn. "Well it seems I'm a bit tired right now, do you all mind coming back tomorrow?" His voice had a little hope in it.

"We'll sure try." They all nodded.

The next two weeks flew by as he steadily grew used to seeing talking ponies. Though that process was still a little slow, the only ones he felt most comfortable was his small group of friends and a kind-hearted nurse who they call nurse Redheart. She always sneaked him extra pudding when she brought him dinner. He now only had a week left and he is able to leave, but a thought had occurred and so he finally asked.

"Hey, where am I going to live after I get released?" He asked the group.

"Well, we've been meaning to talk to you about that." His attention was on Twilight. "See the princess asked us to offer you one of our homes until you learned everything, and have a job. Also until you have enough saved up, though the princess said that once that happens she'll be more than glad to give you a house."

"So have you decided who I'm staying with?" He knit his eyes with curiosity wondering which one he would be staying with until he got accustomed to everything.

"Well that's just it, she told us to let you decide," Twilight said, and give a sigh of frustration somehow knowing that was coming.

"I still have a week to decide, so I think I'm gonna think it over for a bit, is that alright?" He asked.

"Sure take all the time you need." Applejack said. "Your stuff is still over at my place, so when you decide I'll load it up and take it where it needs to go."

"Thanks, but you don't need to do that." He said.

"Oh think nothing of it." Applejack smiled. "Though it would be easier if you decide to stay at the farm."

"As I said, I'll think it over. But seriously thank you." He smiled at her back.

A few days after he finally had an answer, though he had already eliminated some of his choices from the list. The obvious was Rainbow's house, which he figured sounded comfy but he couldn't walk on clouds, he crossed Rarity off because he wasn't a fashion fanatic. Then he crossed off Pinkie, because he could only handle so much of her, then, unfortunately, crossed Applejack off. The farm life sounded good, but he had a feeling he wouldn't be much help until he grew accustomed to the world.

That only left two choices, Fluttershy or Twilight. He still had trouble deciding between the two, working with animals until he found his own job sounded nice. But as he thought about it the more he felt attracted to the prospect of living in a library. As the lure of the books inside called to him, he felt like he was a reader and writer as images popped into his mind of books, and many late nights staying up to write complete chapters.

"So you said you made your decision then?" Rarity asked.

"Yeah after hearing about where you all live, I think the best place would be with Twilight." They all looked surprised, Applejack looked upset though. "Now hear me out, since I'm not a pegasus I can't walk on clouds. So Rainbow Dash's house was out, I'm not interested in fashion. Sorry no offense, I don't think I'm a farm guy. I think I would only slow you guys down, and working with animals sounds fun but it feels like a library fits me. I have flashes of me reading, and writing so I think that living with Twilight would feel a little more right since I feel like I like to read and all."

"Sheesh, another egghead," Rainbow muttered.

"Well, that sounds fine and dandy to me." Applejack said though sounding disappointed. which made sense because he did feel a little closer to her.

"But..." They all look at him. "If Applejack wouldn't mind, I think working on the farm would help me get back into shape. But like I said I might slow you guys down a little. Humans can't exactly buck trees, that's why we usually hire so many to work on a farm."

"Of course you can work on the farm." Applejack's eyes light up. "And if you do a good job, then I might hire you on for good. Though don't worry I understand if you're a bit slower at harvesting, we need all the help we can get." He smiled at her.

"Well now that's out of the way, I should pull out the guess bed then," Twilight said.

"See you guys tomorrow, and in three more day's I'll be finally out of here. Even I can't sit in one place too long." He shifted a little.

"I know what you mean, and don't worry about Pinkie we all know why you didn't want to move in with her." Applejack said making both of them laugh a little.

After they had all left he laid wide awake, he thought about how strange everything was. Suddenly finding your self in another world with no memory, and had to deal with talking ponies. He also thought about how strange it would be to actually live with one.

"Well, I guess I'm gonna find out." He said to himself then falling to sleep.

Author's Notes:

There we are, the chapter I had wanted to write first but as some of you know that didn't turn out well a little bit. Hope this is an improvement, and I would like to apologize if the dialog is a little confusing, only used to writing two or three characters in a scene. Now you at least know why he's a little bit calm about this now.
