They all gathered around in his hospital room, all wearing concerned expressions. But out of all of them, Derpy was taking it the hardest as she was sobbing in Lyra's shoulder, who was trying her best to comfort the crying pegasus. Even with the doctor's reassurance that he would be fine, he was still in a coma-like state.

"I'm so sorry, it's all my fault..." Derpy sobbed out, getting another tight hug from Lyra.

"Hey now, it's fine nothing is your fault," Lyra whispered and looked to see Luna sitting next to the bed trying to hold back tears.

"She's right, it's not your fault Derpy." At that, all of them except Derpy turned to see Dr. Hayseed standing there with what they presumed was his medical charts.

"Doctor, before you explain, can you at least tell us how long will he be like this?" Luna asked, not taking her eyes off of his sleeping form.

"Hard to say really, his body went through a traumatic shock. Though he should wake up, it could be tomorrow or it could be next year. I mean suddenly growing wings like this can take a toll." Dr. Hayseed answered, expecting the sudden gasp.

"Y-you mean he w-won't be awake for a-a year?" Derpy asked, fresh tears coming forth.

"No, I was saying that he could be in this coma for a year. But all the scans we did suggest he'll be awake in about a day, a week at most. Just be glad his wings didn't grow all the way, other wise he might never wake up." Dr. Hayseed said, and that seemed to make the whole room relax a little.

"P-please, can you tell us how he is now growing wings? I thought it was impossible for his species to grow wings, or fly without some other means." Luna asked as a few tears escaped.

"Well, yes most of his kind can't grow wings. But from what he and Twilight have told me, there is a mythical creature from his world that is called Angels. From their description, they are humans, or at least take the form of humans, with wings. But they are just considered myth in his world, but our world is full of myths from his world." Dr. Hayseed stated.

"But that does not answer the question, how do these creatures from his world being myths have to do with anything?" Luna asked, her wings slightly ruffling.

"If you would please Princess, calm down and let me explain. What I'm getting at is that I do not believe these Angels are not as a myth as what his people may have thought. From his history books, it was believed they could do magic, but eventually, for whatever reason, they could not access that magic. Thus I believe that at one point in their history they were like us ponies, some were like Earth ponies, some like unicorns, and some like pegasi.

"So before any of you ask, I think when his people lost the ability to use magic these angels lost their wings. Now don't get me wrong here, but I believe our human friend here may be a descendant from one of these angels and once exposed to the magic of our world he started growing his wings back. Which could also explain his back pains, of course, there is no actual way to prove this. But it's the best I could come up." Dr. Hayseed finished, leaving the room silent.

"T-that's all good to know doc, but you're missing something." They all jumped at the near whisper of the voice and saw Brandon's eyes opened.

"And what's that?" Dr. Hayseed asked, cocking his head to the side in both surprise and much confusion.

"A-angle's are also k-known to be very powerful m-magic users as well. I-in the religion where t-they came from, in one story t-two of them destroyed a-an entire city b-by disintegrating it. B-but in that r-religion it is believed that a-angels don't have wings, w-well only a f-few, but t-those are different kinds of a-angels." They all sat in even more silence at what they had just heard.

"But then where did the whole they have wings come from then?" Twilight asked, making his eyes wander over to her.

"B-because over time people s-started to b-believe you couldn't fly without wings. S-so I'm guessing someone d-decided to add wings to angels t-to explain how they fly." He answered, his voice still strained and a whisper.

"Makes sense, but I still believe that you may have some form of angel's magic in you that reacted to the immense magical field of our world. But right now I'm curious has to how you seem to be awake right now, even if you did have improvements since our last scans. You should be too exhausted to be able to wake up." Dr. Hayseed said, walking to him and looking him over.

"Um, hey Doctor?" Twilight asked, making Hayseed attention shift. "I know you performed the N.M.S on him again, and I was wondering if there was a change in his natural magic?"

"Ah, yes there was. It seems that his flow of magic did change a little, making it seem more like pegasus magic but not fully. He will be able to fly, do cloud manipulation, and any other thing a pegasus can. But at the same time, his own natural magic seemed to have increased. Probably compensating to adapt to the new magic in his body." Dr. Hayseed explained, then let out a sigh. "But it still doesn't explain how he is able to heal so fast, I mean first it was his ankle healing a week before. Which may not seem strange, but it wasn't a sprang, and now him waking up only a few hours of going into a coma-like state."

"I-I don't know what t-to tell you, Hayseed, e-except maybe I'm j-just a fast healer is all." He spoke up.

"Yes, well I still want to take a look over you now that you're awake. If you ladies would please wait outside, it'll only take a few moments?" Dr. Hayseed asked, and they all nodded and started to leave except for Derpy and Luna.

"I'm so sorry Brandon," Derpy said hanging her head.

"F-for what? You're one hell o-of a good kisser." He said, and from what he could see she had a blush but was still crying, but left to join the others.

"Princess, if you wouldn't mind?" Dr. Hayseed asked, looking at Luna.

"Brandon, I-I..." She started but couldn't finish.

"L-luna, it's fine. I'm okay, you d-didn't break your promise to me. W-what happened was n-natural." He said, managing to lift his hand up to gently stroke her cheek. "N-now, go wait with t-the others while the d-doctor does his job." And with that, she nuzzled his hand and left the room.

"So, Mr. Jenkins how are you feeling?" Dr. Hayseed asked once Luna had shut the door behind her.

"I-I've lost a l-lot of feeling in my a-arms and legs," he answered getting a nod out of the Doctor.

"That was to be expected, there was some minor nerve damage in the surrounding area. But nothing permanent, so don't worry about it." Dr. Hayssed said, and his horn started to glow with his normal grey glow. "Hmm, it seems that you'll only be held here for about two days in order to get treatment and to recover. But everything seems far better than expected, so are there any other complaints you like to get out of the way?"

"N-no, not really," he answered.

"Okay, I'll call your friends back in and we'll have a little discussion." Dr. Hayseed said, getting a weak nod from him before the doctor left the room for a moment with his friends behind him, and Derpy seemed a little better.

"So, what did ya need to talk to us about?" Applejack asked.

"Yes, well as I said before he will be able to fly with his wings due to, well let's call it Angel magic for now. Though that does mean he will have to learn how to fly, and how to maintain proper wing cleaning." Dr. Hayseed answered once the door was shut. "But also, before any of you ask he'll be fine to leave in two days. But I think it would be better if he would stay for at least four just in case there are unforeseen consequences."

"That sounds fair, but what were you saying about him learning to fly?" Lyra asked.

"Yes, well when his wings are fully grown he'll need a helping hoof to learn how to fly." Dr. Hayseed answered.

"Oh, well then leave it to...." Rainbow started but was cut off when Luna and Derpy gave her a glare. "What?"

"I think if anypony is going to teach him how to fly, it will be one of us," Luna said, and Derpy nodded.

"I want to volunteer to teach him how to fly if it's alright with you Luna?" Derpy asked, looking at her with guilt.

"Hold on there, let me at least tell you all this. His wings bone structure will most resemble that of an Alicorn, though I don't doubt that a normal pegasus could teach him how to fly because of how similar this magic seems to be with pegasi magic. But I think it would be better if the Princess here were to teach him." Dr. Hayseed interrupted, making Derpy look at the floor with even more guilt.

"Derpy, listen you may not teach him how to fly, but how about I let you teach him how to preen his wings?" At that, despite him being physically capped out, he let out a shiver knowing that was a very intimate action between pegasi. But that did make her look up in surprise and having reformed her blush.

"Well, that certainly sounds like a plan. But I must warn you of this, no strenuous activity until I give him the green light. And I do mean no strenuous activity." Derpy's blush went to completely crimson at the way the doctor had said it. "Now, if you'll excuse me I'm off the clock now. Goodnight everypony, and try to let him get some sleep." With that, Dr. Hayseed left.

"D-derpy, can you p-please come over here?" He asked, once the door shut, and slowly the grey mare walked towards him tears starting to brim over, but before any of them could react he suddenly sat up wrapping her in a tight hug. "It's alright, it isn't your fault. What happened would have happened over time anyway, please don't blame yourself for this."

"B-but it's because o-of what I d-did that caused t-them t-to g-grow so fast," Derpy started crying into his shoulder, and wrapped her hooves around him feeling the two stumps protruding from his back making her cry even more.

"Hey now, none of that, if not what you did then it would have been something else," he said holding her tighter, pulling her into his bed where she laid snuggled up to him crying softly now.

"H-how did you do that just now? I mean aren't you still very weak?" Twilight asked.

"Love can give you strength Twilight, that's why I'm glad that I can draw my strength from the three I love the most," he said looking at both Lyra and Luna, and gave a little squeeze to the grey mare in his arms.

"Well, just be careful darling and don't overdo it. Also, you wouldn't want that IV to get pulled out, from what they told us you lost a lot of blood." Rarity finally spoke up.

"Um, y-yeah about t-that, T-twilight I'm s-sorry about the mess." Twilight only shook her head at him.

"As long as you're alright, then a little mess like that won't be a problem with a little elbow grease." Twilight gave him a tired smile.

"So, speaking of the accident, what did Derpy do to cause this spontaneous growth?" Luna asked, getting a look from Lyra that said she wanted to know as well.

"Well, she practically tackled him and gave him a nice long smooch. Though, I'm sure it was also part of the panic and surprise from him suddenly taking a fall backward." Applejack said, and by then he realized that Pinkie was awfully quiet, and once he looked at the pink mare, she seemed to have gone a darker shade of pink and her mane and tail were nearly flat.

"W-what's wrong Pinkie?" He managed to ask.

"It's nothing, I-I just felt really sad about how much Derpy was blaming herself about what happened." Pinkie answered.

"W-why would you feel sad about that?" He asked.

"Because I knew it would make you sad, and we all know what your biggest fear is. I was afraid that if you saw her being sad, then that would make you think how you did back when we first met you." Pinkie answered.

"W-well, I'll tell you this much. Yes, I-I am still afraid of b-being seen a-as a monster, a-and I was afraid of that w-when I woke up. B-but I felt like D-derpy needed me, and t-that overpowered my fear. So, if it helps cheer you up, y-you can through m-me a party for getting my w-wings and t-three marefriends." He said though he knew he would probably regret it if he didn't say anything. "B-but, please n-no alcohol."

"Agreed!" Pinkie suddenly said, her color returning to normal and her hair seemed to inflate like a balloon.

"Alright, everypony who is not his marefriend please leave now. Visiting hours for friends is over." A nurse said, popping her head in and smiling at the scene of him and Derpy. "And don't worry, that IV is enchanted to be very flexible and won't come out unless one of the staff removes it." He gave a nod, wrapping both arms around the grey mare.

"Alright, I guess I'll be by tomorrow. See you then Brandon!" Twilight said, telephoning back to her library.

"Yeah, see you around." Rainbow, Rarity, Fluttershy, and Pinkie all left.

"We'll discuss what you will be doing after ya get out of the hospital Brandon." Applejack said, before leaving.

"You three are more than welcome to stay in here for as long as you want. But please try not to make things worse for him, like the doctor said his body has had been through a harsh shock." The nurse said before shutting the door.

"Hmmph, I promised to protect you, not to make an injury worse," Luna said, before looking down at him with a small smile. "She is adorable when she sleeps like I said you are like a big teddy bear."

"Yeah, she is." Lyra stepped in and giving him an evil look. "You know, with as much as you go to this hospital I would have to say that you might have a nurse fetish."

"Not in t-the mood to b-be teased Lyra," he said laying back into his pillow, feeling his exhaustion take hold.

"Alright, but don't expect any mercy for you having a make-out session with Derpy after your first date with her," Lyra said.

"A-actually, we m-made out twice. L-last night, as well as when she had jumped o-on me." He responded, his eyelids growing heavy.

"Goodnight, Brandon." He heard Luna whisper in his ear before he fell asleep, but feeling the bed shift as what he knew was at least one of them climbing in.

Though he did have slight trouble fully falling to sleep as his new stubs kept bothering him. But eventually, he had managed to fully emerge into the realm of sleep that awaited, along with a certain smiling Alicorn princess. Who he knew he wanted to talk to about entering into his dreams anyway.

"I'm sorry I broke this promise to you, but I figured it would be a nice surprise." She said, making him smile.

"And it is, and I've been meaning to talk to you about that promise." At that, she tilted her head slightly. "As you probably noticed, my nightmares are slightly worse, and w-when I made you promise that you wouldn't enter my dreams, I-I may have been wrong. Luna, I need your help, I don't want to have these nightmares over and over again. I-I'm scared, I'm just scared..." He was now crying, and she saw and felt how terrified he was of these nightmares he had been having.

"Shh, it's okay I'll be here for you. Just like how you were there for Derpy, I promised I'd protect you even from yourself. Now, let me give you a dream that you will remember." Before he could ask, or stop crying, the place they were at melted away revealing his house and his three marefriends sitting around the fireplace drinking hot chocolate.

"Hey, why don't you come to sit with us?" Luna asked, who gave him the warmest smiles.

"What..." He tried, but couldn't as he moved to sit his marefriends.

"This is a dream you've been having before you wake up, so you don't remember it. But I made sure you will, we're just waiting for your other marefriend to get here before we start giving you your present." He shivered at the tone of that, but couldn't help but wonder what she meant by his other marefriend, as he could see the three of them in front him. "Just relax and enjoy, and try not to think about this too much or else the dream will go away."

Just then, they heard a knock at the door, which swung open revealing the mare on the other side. His eyes widened as she walked in, giving him a small peck before sitting next to Lyra giving her an affectionate nuzzle. After that point, he started losing track of what was happening inside his own dream.

Author's Notes:

Okay, that was an interesting chapter to write. And before any of you ask, yes it was one of those dreams if you know what I mean. And before you ask, no the real Luna did not stick around after his other marefriend entered the dream. Hope you enjoyed, and remember to smile, smile, smile!
