A few minutes after Celestia and Luna left, two mares entered the room. One was dressed in a maid outfit. She was carrying a set of clothes for me. The other one I already knew.

"Hey Yonatan, how are you feeling?" Sweet Dose asked.

"Fine, I guess," I answered. "I feel a little tense in the back but I have no idea why."

Sweet Dose hummed in thought before she walked around me and felt me across the back. For some odd reason I felt her touch in places I never knew existed before. After a few more moments she came back into my line of sight.

"Well, you do feel tense along your back. Nothing a few flaps of your wings won't solve."

A few flaps of my… wings?

Sweet Dose didn't give me time to voice my confusion as she checked my bandaged torso again. After a few more checks she slowly unwrapped my bandages. As soon as my back was exposed, a felt two great limbs spring to my sides. I looked in amazement as I was now supporting two great, black-feathered wings.

"I- I have wings?" I looked with wide eyes at my new appendages. "H-how?"

"You sure do," Sweet Dose confirmed. "Imagine our surprise when we discovered another alicorn."

"Alicorn? What are you talking about? What's an alicorn?"

The look Sweet Dose gave me was like I suddenly sprouted another.

"You… don't know what an alicorn is?"

I shook my head.

"Wow, your concussion must be worse than we originally thought…"

I slapped myself across the face, my hand slowly dragging down. "Look, I'm just as confused as you are. Can you just give me a basic rundown of how things work here?"

"I suppose I can," Sweet Dose replied. "But first you must dress up properly. You're going to be dining with the princesses, so you must at least show some basic level of respect. After that I'll be happy to escort you to the dining hall and answer all of your questions."

I heaved a sigh of relief. It seemed I won't be getting back home for quite a while so, I might as well try and make sense in this crazy world as much as I can.

Sweet Dose handed me the clothes and left the room. A minute or so later, I emerged from the room myself. Whoever chose my clothes clearly didn't understand the meaning of modesty. The clothes I wore blurred the lines between formal and casual wear. It was extremely comfortable, but also very lavish. The price tag on these clothes must have been enough to rent my own place, but I digress.

Sweet Dose was fiddling with a phone when I stepped into the brightly lit hall. She gave me a once over before smirking. "Looking good there, mister," she praised.

I chuckled awkwardly, looking away from the mare. "Umm, thanks… w-where's the dining hall again?"

"Come, I'll show you." Sweet Dose grabbed my hand and led me towards a seemingly random direction

As she escorted me, Sweet Dose gave me a brief history lesson. I was completely enthralled with her explanation. It was like something out of a fairy tale. She explained to me the concept of the three tribes and the deep resentment they harbored to each other, and then the unification that led to the formation of the country I was currently 'visiting', though now that I think about it invading would be a much better term, but again, I digress.

After that Sweet Dose explained to me what alicorns were. Apparently, alicorns were some kind of super race that had the perks of all three tribes.

"So the princesses are alicorns rather than winged unicorns or horned pegasi?" I asked.

Sweet Dose nodded, "And so are you."

Wow… that was a lot of information to swallow. This is either the greatest adventure I would ever experience in my life, or the most elaborate dream I ever had.

"But the princesses do so much more than simply govern over Equestria," Sweet Dose continued. "The also responsible to- oh, look, we're here!" Sweet Dose exclaimed, pointing towards what appeared to be the dining hall, and if that fact wasn't made clear enough by the long table with plates and utensils strewn across it, then the two princesses that were waving at me definitely eliminated any feeling of doubt in my head. "Well, I must leave now. Have a pleasant night, Yonatan," Sweet Dose bid before walking away.

"Sweet Dose, wait!" I called, but she already rounded a corner, leaving me alone with not one but two princesses. I awkwardly shuffled in place until I finally had the courage to move my legs.

The dining table was so freaking long. It was literally almost as long as the room. I hoped that I could simply sit on the chair closest to the exit and farther away from the princesses, but a call from Celestia squandered these hopes.

"Good evening Yonatan, please sit with us," she said, gesturing to a seat right next to the end of the table, where the two princesses sat.

I swallowed nervously, my anxious nature around strangers reared its head once again. I walked all the way to where the princesses sat, each step I took felt heavier than the last.

With all the grace of an elephant, I crashed into my seat. Only then I realized how weak my legs felt. It seems like I was still recovering.

"Are you alright, Yonatan?" Luna asked, as if she could sense my weakness.

"I'm fine," I replied, looking down my empty plate.

"Is something the matter?" Celestia asked, placing a hand on my shoulder. This time I did flinch, and Celestia quickly retracted her hand. "Oh my, you are hurt, are you not?"

I shook my head, "No, that's not it."

"Then what is it?" Luna placed her elbows on the table and rested her head on the palms of her hands. "You refuse to look us in the eyes and you flinch at the slightest touch. This is more than mere nervousness."

I sighed. It seems I would have to tell them eventually. "Well, you see, I'm… autistic," I admitted, feeling even worse about myself.

There was a heavy silence in the air. Neither of the princesses said anything. I dared looking up and saw the two princesses exchanged meaningful looks. Celestia then turned to face me. She was smiling.

"I am sorry if we have caused you any discomfort, Yonatan. We know how difficult it is to deal with what you have to go through."

Her statement ignited a small flame of anger inside me. How can she understand what I'm going through?! She has no idea what's it like! To have everyone judging you prematurely! How painful it is to know that no matter how hard you try, you will always be different!

Despite my anger, my face remained cool. A few years back I would've thrown a fit if someone made such a comment. Now though I understand that such actions are counterproductive. It's best to keep my anger to myself and not taking it out on other people, especially not if said people are princesses and my hostesses.

"It's fine," I replied. "I don't like talking about it though."

"We understand," Luna said. "It is, after all, your choice whether to speak with this to anypony or not."

"Thanks," I said gratefully.

"Do not mention it." Celestia smiled again and my heart simply fluttered. There was something about her smile that was almost… addicting. It also didn't hurt that the princesses were simply drop-dead gorgeous.

Now before you accuse me of being a furry lover or something like that try to see it from my perspective. Yes, these so called 'ponies' are different from humans, but they still resemble us much more than they resemble ponies from our world.

Their physique is strikingly similar. The only differences are the hooves, fur, and slightly equine –but still rather human- face. Sure the princesses also have wings and horns but from what I saw, not everypony possess the two, if the maids and butlers I've seen when Sweet Dose escorted me were any indication.

Speaking of maids and butlers, a few were making their way towards the three of us, carrying covered trays. A covered tray was placed in front each of us before their contents were uncovered.

My stomach almost cried in joy at what I saw.

Food.  

Actual food instead of that crap they passed as food in the medical ward. My meal consisted of baked potatoes, salad, and scrambled eggs. I was kinda surprised to see such a simple looking meal being served to the princesses, but I guess that if they wanted baked potatoes and eggs who's gonna stop them.

I took a bite from the baked potatoes and almost moaned in delight. It was so good eating real food again.

The princesses seemed to sense my delight. "I hope that the food is to your liking?" Celestia said, taking a small bite from the salad.

"It is," I replied after swallowing. "It feels like I haven't eaten real food for decades." A thought then popped into my head. "Say, princess-"

"Please, call me Celestia."

"Celestia, how long have I been in the medical ward?"

Celestia looked thoughtful for a moment. "I would say… about a week."

A week?! That's how long it took me to recover from freefalling to a point I could walk around?!

"T-That's impossible!" I exclaimed. "I'm not a doctor but there's no way I healed that fast, is it?"    

"There are a few factors that can explain your quick recovery," Luna spoke up. "Firstly, there is the fact that you are an alicorn. Alicorns are much sturdier than other ponies so your wounds were not as serious as they might have been if you were, say, an earth pony for example. That being said, your wounds were still rather severe.

"Furthermore, alicorns also heal much faster than any other race on this planet."

I was still rather skeptical.

"And lastly," Luna continued as if sensing my disbelief. "There is the fact that you were treated by the best doctors at our disposal, using the most complicated spells to make your recovery as fast and painless as possible."

Ahh, yes. Magic. Sweet Dose told me something about how magic is the all-moving force of this world. It was mind-boggling thinking about, but hey, I'm currently talking with two horse-women princesses from another world, so why not throw magic into the equation as well.

"Well, I guess that does explain it," I relented. I just didn't have the energy to argue. I may have been confined to a bed for a week, but I was mentally exhausted.

It must have shown on my face because next thing I knew Luna said, "Perhaps it is better that you retire for the night. You can tell us more about yourself and the world you came from in the morning."

I nodded sleepily. "Yeah… I guess you're right."

"Then let me escort you to the guest room," she said, rising from her seat. I followed suit.

Before I exited the dining hall I heard Celestia call, "Have pleasant dreams, Yonatan."

"Thanks. To you too, Celestia," I called back before following Luna through a maze of corridors.

With nothing better to do I let my eyes roam all across the castle, and boy was this a big castle. The hallways were at least ten times taller than me and were filled with paintings, statues and huge decorative glass panes. I found my eyes start to wander towards my hostess, or more precisely, my hostess' backside.

The princesses were fucking sexy, only a fool would question that. With that thought in mind, my gaze wandered south, only to realize two things:

One: In the dim light, Luna's dress was slightly transparent.

And two: she had two identical tattoos on both sides of her hips.

I felt heat rush into my face as I found myself incapable of looking away. The way Luna's tail swayed from side to side, the way her ass would jiggle with each step; it all had an effect on me.

"We're here!" Luna suddenly stopped, making me stumble. Were I a few milliseconds too late, and a certain part of me would make a very intimate introduction with the princess. Luna looked at me suspiciously and I took a few steps backwards. "Is something wrong, Yonatan!"

"Oh, umm… nothing, nothing at all!" I said a bit too fast.

Luna raised an eyebrow before looking down at herself. "Did you gaze at my backside?"

My eyes widened as I started to panic a little. How did she know?! Did she read my mind or something?!

I took a few calming breaths. I had one shot at saving myself.

"I was just… wondering about your tattoos, yeah!"

"My… tattoos?" Luna asked in confusion. "I do not have any- oh, you must be refereeing to my cutie mark!"

"Cutie mark?" I repeated.

"Indeed." Luna turned around, giving me an eyeful of her backside once again. "This is a cutie mark," she said, gesturing the two identical moon tattoos on her hips. "It represents what's the pony's special talent is."

"And yours is…"

"I control the moon."

…

"…You're… kidding right?"

Luna turned to face me fully, her arms crossed under her boobs, giving me an unobstructed view of her cleavage. It did not help my concentration.

"And why would you think that I am 'pulling your tail', as the saying goes?"

Ignoring the awful pun I replied, "Because the moon orbits the planet independently. The very concept of the moon's rising and setting is wrong."

"Would you bet on it?" Luna suddenly asked, smirking.

"I… what?"

"Would you bet on it?" Luna repeated.

What game is she playing? "There's nothing to bet. I know I'm right!" I argued.

Luna tsk'd a few times before grabbing my arms and leading me into a guest room. I didn't have time to inspect it as Luna led me to a small balcony.

"Observe." Luna raised a single hand towards the sky, her horn lighting up, bathing the balcony with a soft blue hue. At first I didn't understand what's going on, but suddenly I saw something white and round peak from the distant horizon.

I stood there in quiet awe as everything I thought I knew about the cosmos and the laws of physics were completely and utterly shattered.

When the moon stood high in the sky Luna faced me again, her smirk couldn't have been any bigger. "Well? Do you still think I am jesting?"

I brought my hands to my face and started rubbing my eyes. Nope, the moon was still there. It was real.

"I-I think I need to lay down…"

Luna's smile turned softer as she led me back inside the room and gestured me towards a bed.

"I must go now, Yonatan. It has been a pleasure making your acquaintance."

I smiled sleepily as I pretty much crashed down on the heavenly mattress. "Thanks for everything, Luna," I said truthfully.

Luna gave me one last smile before closing the door behind her, leaving me to my thoughts. I adjusted myself in the bed as I replayed last events. There were still a lot of questions left unanswered. Like, what happened to Segev? Is he here as well? Is he alright? Is he an alicorn as well?

And probably the most important question of them all: Will we be able to go back home?
