I don't remember how long I've been sleeping. Occasionally I would wake up, but only for a brief moment. In moments like these, I heard voices. I couldn't make sense in what the voices said, but I had a feeling it was something to do with me. Each time I opened my eyes, I would see a white figure standing over me. Sometimes the figure would touch me, either feeling my forehead or adjusting me in -what I assumed to be- a hospital bed. Each time I would wake up, I could see more and more clearly. The voices became clearer as well, and I also could hear the constant beeping of a heart monitor.

In time, I learned that the white figure was a nurse and that the figures spoke in English rather than Hebrew, something that highly confused me. I still couldn't see perfectly well but her feminine voice was a dead giveaway. For some odd reason, her hair was deep red.

Each time I was awake, she would come to my side and either feed me with something, or whisper things into me ear.

"It will be okay," she would say. "I'll take care of you."

And then… came the pain. It was the most horrible thing I have ever felt. I would writhe in my bed, wishing that I had the power to scream for help, but whenever I opened my mouth, nothing came out.

Luckily, in these times of great agony, the nurse would immediately come to my side. Each time she did, I felt a faint stinging sensation in my shoulder, and I would succumb to sleep.

Today was… different though. When I opened my eyes, everything was clear. I could clearly see the room I was in. It took me great effort but I managed to crane my head to the side, spotting the heart monitor. I wasn't an expert, but I assumed that steady rhythm was a good sign.

A voice from the outside snapped me out of my thoughts and directed my attention to the only door into the room. I heard the door handle twist as the door creaked open.

I was expecting the nurse to come in.

I was in no way prepared to what I saw next.

The figure before me was not a human.

"[What the hell!]" I exclaimed, my throat ached from lack of use.

The creature stopped in its tracks. Its big purple eyes widened as it looked at me.

"[W-w-what the hell are you?!]" I screamed. I tried to get up from the bed and put as much distance between myself and the creature.

"No, stop!" it cried, rushing towards me.

"[Stay away from me!]" I shouted, pulling tubes attached to my body as I tried to rise from the bed, but the creature got me first.

"I need help!" it yelled. Two more creatures came into the room and towards me.

"[No! Get back you monsters! Get back!]" I could hear the beeping of the heart monitor skyrocket as my heart tried to jump right out from my chest. The two other creatures held me down while the first one came to me with a syringe in hand.

"[No! Please!]" I screamed.

I could feel a sharp pain in my neck, and before I knew it, my vision turned blurry and I heard the same sweet voice from before.

"Everything will be okay…"

Next time I woke up, I was far calmer, but not less terrified. There was no doubt that what I saw was real. These creatures were far too vivid to be something a fevered dream would conjure.

I could hear the heart monitor starting to beat a little faster, but not like the last time I was awake. A shuffling to my left had drawn my attention, and what I saw caused my eyes to widen.

There, sleeping on a chair, was the creature. It, or should I say she, was napping soundly with a patient file in her arms. She wore a white nurse's outfit that blended almost perfectly with her white coat.

Yes, coat.

She was covered with a fine white coat from head to… hooves. I focused my attention on her face, which was shaped different than a human. She had a smooth, strawberry red hair, her ears were pointed and hung limply from her head, and her nose, or should I say muzzle, was longer than a human's.

Looking slightly down revealed to me just how tight the outfit must have been, seeing as her breasts stretched the fabric. I felt my cheeks head up as I averted my gaze from her.

That's when I noticed my body felt different than usually. My back was sore and it felt painfully tight, like I had to stretch my back somehow. My forehead also felt weird. It was like I had a bump there, like a bruise, only much more… larger, I guess? It was hard to describe the feeling.

But the oddest thing was when I noticed something black at the bottom of my vision. I tried to look down but it stayed just outside my peripheral vision. I brought my hand up to touch it but immediately stopped once I saw it. It was completely black!

My skin was covered in short black coat, much like the horse woman to my right. My breathing turned rapid as I followed my arm back to my body. I pulled the blanket away from me, revealing a black furred chest.

The sudden change in the heart monitor have probably caused the nurse to wake up, for the next thing I knew was her standing over me, her hands cupped my cheeks as she tried to calm me down.

Her purple eyes gazed into my own and I found myself relaxing. Physically, at least. On the inside I was still freaking out, trying to understand what that hell is going on.

"[Who- who are you?]" I asked. The woman cocked her head to the side, one ear was folded and the other was pointed upwards in a way I found slightly amusing.

"Can you speak English?" she asked in, well, English.

"Y-yes," I answered in English as well.

The nurse smiled. "Good. Can you tell me your name?"

"…Yonatan," I answered simply, too shaken to say more.

"Hmm, what a weird name. What does it mean?"

"What?"

"Your name. What does it mean?"

"I-it means 'given by god'."

The nurse smiled again. "That's beautiful."

I felt my cheeks heathen again as I averted my eyes from her. Unfortunately, her cleavage was right there, next to my face, which caused my face to explode with heat. Thankfully, the rising beeping of the heart monitor had drawn the attention of the nurse away from me. With her back now turned, I could see a red tail slowly sway from side to side.

I shook my head and returned my gaze to my furred hands.

"Where… am I?" I asked, suddenly dreading the answer. Was I dead? No. If I was dead, I wouldn't feel pain, right?    

"You're in Canterlot castle. The medical ward, to be precise. You sure are a lucky fella to survive a fall like that. Especially since you weren't too badly injured." The nurse turned around and smiled at me before adjusting my covers around me.

"Canterlot? Castle? I-I don't understand. We're in Israel, right?"

The nurse looked at me quizzically. "Israel? Never heard of a place like that." She then placed her hands on my scalp and started feeling her way around it. "You must have taken quite the hit in the head."

I growled at that, swatting her arm away. "I'm not crazy! This doesn't make any sense!"

"Whoa, easy there. I didn't mean to offend you," she said, looking worryingly at me. "Look, I was instructed to take care of you until you'll wake up. The princesses can offer you more information."

"Princesses? What are you talking about? What princesses?"

"I'm sorry, Yonatan, but it is not my place to say. The princesses will be here shortly. They will be eager to meet you. Please limit any movements strictly to your bed, you're still far too weak to stand up. Now please, remain calm so I could check your body."

The nurse began going through a fairly mundane procedure of checking various parts of my body. She only seemed to be focusing on my bandaged areas, feeling around them gently and asking me if it hurt. By the time she was done, she unplugged me from the heart monitor and gave me a pill to swallow. I was hesitant at first, but a single look into her eyes was all it took to squash any lingering doubts. In hindsight, it was probably a very bad idea to accept pills from complete strangers, but if you ever experience what I did at that time, your judgement would also be a little off.

Satisfied with everything, the nurse jotted something quickly on a file next to the bed and made her way towards the door.

"Wait!" I called.

She stopped next to the door, looking at me. "Hmm?"

"What's your name?" I asked, rather stupidly I must add.

The nurse giggled before replying, "Sweet Dose, my name is Sweet Dose. If you need me just press the button next to your bed."

With that said, she was gone.

Sweet Dose? What a bizarre name. She couldn't be serious, could she? Who in their right mind names their kid Sweet Dose?

I had a creepy feeling that I wasn't in Israel anymore. In fact, I don't think I am in any place on Earth!

Since I was left alone, I decided to return my attention to me own body. I was covered in a black coat. Everything from my chest to my face was coated with fine black hairs.

And speaking of my face…

Remember the black thing I mentioned earlier? Yeah, this was, or more precisely is, my muzzle. For some reason, I had a long muzzle protruding my face. Growing more panicked, I felt for my ears, but I couldn't feel them where they usually were. Instead, I felt them a little higher. And much like Sweet Dose, they were pointed as well.

"[This is bullshit…]" I whispered. I looked to the side and spotted a hand mirror lying on a counter on the far side of the room. Forsaking what Sweet Dose has told me, I tried to rise from the bed.

It was a painfully slow experience. My entire body felt numb and I spent at least five minutes getting the blood flowing again. Once I did, I tried to stand up but I almost fell. My legs were like a horse now, with hooves on the end. It took me another five minutes getting myself balanced, and by this point I was pretty frustrated.

I was in a foreign land, populated by human-like horses, and to make things even worse, I was a horse-human-thingy myself.

I shakily moved one hoof, and then the next, moving slowly, trying to get used to my new limbs. It was hard to move, especially since my entire back and lower abdomen were bandaged. I actually had to lean against the wall to make sure I wouldn't slip and fall.

Eventually though, I reached the mirror. I took it in one hand and held it against my face. What I saw in the reflection caused me to gasp.

Instead on my familiar face, I saw a stranger. Long muzzle, pointed ears, and a horn! A freaking horn jutting from my forehead! I lightly touched the mirror, looking in awe and fear as the stranger in the mirror copied my movements. The only thing even remotely similar to my old self was my green eyes and my unruly dark brown hair.

I felt my back hit the wall and I slowly slid down into a sitting position the floor, my eyes never leaving the mirror. I was so stunned by my extreme makeover that I haven't notice the door to the room opening.

"Ahem…"

I looked up from the mirror and my breath was literally taken away from me. Before me stood two regal women, or should I say mares, so beautiful that my own heart missed a couple of beats.

The taller one of the two had the whitest and purest of coats as if emitting its own light. Her flowing multicolored hair seemed to be made of the finest silk. And her eyes, oh her eyes, they shone with a gentle magenta glow that the mere look at them had calmed my nerves.

The other one was slightly shorter, but not less beautiful. Her coat was that of deep azure, and her ethereal hair was as if taken from the night sky. Her shining turquoise orbs filled me with curiosity. I wanted to know her.

Both wore long dresses that concealed their feet. They both wore a few pieces of jewelry that made it quite clear of their status.

The shorter mare took a single step towards me. I reacted quickly by crawling away from her, terrified.

She quickly stepped back, a hurt expression on her face if I read it right.

"We are not going to hurt you," the white mare said, smiling gently.

Despite myself, I could feel how her words and smile had an effect on me. I felt my muscles relax under her motherly tone.

The dark mare took a hesitant step forwards, but this time I stayed in place. Smiling, the mare moved closer and closer until she stood right in front of me. From my place on the floor I couldn't see her face, seeing as her generous chest was in the way. I blushed brightly before quickly averting my gaze. Unfortunately, I caught sight of the white mare as she tried to stifle a giggle.

Have you ever had those moments where you suddenly remember an extremely embarrassing moment from your past? Enhance it by one hundred and you'd feel a fraction of what I felt at that moment.

The dark mare crouched until she was on par with me. I felt her hand lightly grasp my chin as she slowly lifted my head to meet her eyes. From this distance, I felt like I could drown in her eyes and I quickly looked away.

"It is not polite to avoid eye contact, stallion, especially with royalty." She spoke in English, her hard tone froze my blood.

I forced my eyes to meet hers. Seeing her frown almost caused me to look away again, but I fought my instincts to do so.

"Sister! That is not a way to treat our patient. He is still recovering," the white mare chided.

The dark mare turned towards the white one, her sister apparently, before looking back at my terrified expression. Her own eyes widened as she quickly put a little bit of distance between us.

"I apologize, stallion. I did not mean to frighten you. Please, accept my deepest apologies."

I looked between the two sisters, unsure how to react. Eventually though, I found the strength to stand up. As I rose to my full height two things became apparent.

One, despite the fact that I was considered tall among my friends and family, the white mare was taller than me. In fact, I was on par with her sister, which was slightly shorter than her.

Secondly, much like myself, they too had horns jutting from their foreheads, only theirs looked slightly more trimmed. Also, I detected a pair of wings at the back of each mare. I was slightly socked by that particular revelation, but I have been through so much shit that I couldn't find the strength to argue with it.

And finally, I realized that I was in nothing more than a pair of shorts.

"[Oh god!]" I exclaimed, moving briskly towards the bed and covering myself with the blanket, almost tripping as I did.

The white mare giggled before stepping forward.

"I understand from Sweet Dose that you are quite shocked, my little pony," she said.

"[Yeah, you could say that again,]" I muttered in my native language.

The white mare lifted a single eyebrow before speaking up, "I'm sorry, but I am afraid I do not understand you. You do know English, I hope?"

"Uhh, yes," I said. "It's not my native language but I can manage. Look, I don't know what's going on. One moment I was in my house and suddenly the next thing I know is falling from the sky!"

"Please relax, my little pony. Take a deep breath, and tell me everything that happened."

I followed the white mare's advice and took a deep, calming breath. After them I introduced myself, followed by an explanation of everything. I told them that I was not originally a horse-man and that I was not sure I was in my own world. Admittedly, the more I talked the more bizarre my tale turned out to be.

Despite that, the two sisters remained silent. The listened intently to everything I had to say, not interrupting me even once and only nodding on occasion. When I finished there was a long silence in the room. For a moment there I really thought they were going to declare me crazy, but instead I found myself surprised when the white mare put a hand on my shoulder.

"I cannot imagine the shock you had when you woke up, Yonatan, and I am sorry that your arrival to this land was not a gentle one."

I looked down at the mare's hand as it touched my shoulder. I almost shrugged it off automatically. I don't like being touched normally if I can help it, but I couldn't do it at that moment.

"Yeah," I muttered. "But wait. You believe me? Just like that?"

The white mare nodded and said, "I am very good at reading ponies, Yonatan. What you said was truth and I believe it."

"That's good, I guess..."

An awkward silence settled across the room. I kept my gaze at the floor beneath me. I could tell that the mares were still looking at me, but I was too embarrassed to look back. Finally, the silence was broken by the very loud gurgling of my belly. I clutched it, suddenly realizing just how hungry I was.

"Hmm, I am guessing that hospital food is not very filling?" asked the white mare. I nodded. "Then how about you join us for dinner? It has been a long time since we had a casual guest. I'll have a maid bring you some clothes and escort you to the dining room."

Again, I nodded. Before they exited the room though, the white mare stopped in her tracks and looked at me.

"Oh my, it seems that we completely forgot to introduce ourselves." She gestured towards herself and the dark mare. "I am Princess Celestia, but you can simply call me Celestia."

"And I am Princess Luna, likewise," said the dark mare.

"Nice to meet you… princesses?"

The two looked at each other before giggling. This is gonna be awkward.         Next Chapter: Dinner with the sun and the moon Estimated time remaining: 12 Minutes
