Nigel started waking up. Everything was very blurry. He also felt weird, really weird. He suddenly heard a voice from behind him. "Hey, are you okay?" The voice belonged to a female. Nigel responded with a mumble.
"I better get you to the hospital" The same voice said. Nigel then fell back into uncounciousness.

Nigel's eyes slowly opened. From what he saw he was in a hospital room. He still had the strange feeling from before. He tried to move his fingers, but nothing happened. Nigel West Dickens brought his hand up to his eye-level to make sure it wasn't bandaged, or amputated.

He jumped back when he saw that he didn't have a hand anymore. There was a hoof there instead. Before he could freak-out, a voice said, "Oh, you're awake" Nigel quickly turned his head to see a white pony, with a pink mane. Nigel was speechless.

"Now that you're awake, I'm going to need your name, and age" The pony said. Nigel decided to play along, and find out what was going on later.

"My name is Nigel West Dickens, and I'm sixty-three years old" Nigel said to the nurse. The nurse giggled, then started laughing hysterically. Once she was finished, she looked at Nigel, and said,

"Don't mess with me. There's no way you're sixty-three" Nigel grunted, and looked at the pony.

"Then what is your estimate of my age, nurse?" He said narrowing his eyes at the pony.

"You can't be more than twenty-five years old" The nurse said chuckling. Nigel grunted, and narrowed his eyes.

"If you don't belive me you can look in the mirror that's on the wall right over there" The nurse said pointing to a mirror hanging on the wall, about six feet from the bed.

"So I'm allowed to get out of bed? The last hospital I was at didn't let me even move..." Nigel mumbled the last sentence.

"Yes, we made sure you were healthy while you were asleep" The nurse responded. Nigel nodded, and got out of the bed. He remembered that he was now a pony, and walked on all fours. It felt strange at first, but he got used to it, very quickly. He stepped up to the mirror, and inspected himself. The nurse was right, he looked about twenty years old. He was light blue, and had what looked to be a tattoo on his flank of a dollar bill. He had a black mane, with some green in it. His tail was the same.

"Okay, now what's your real age?" The nurse asked. Nigel paused for a second, thinking of what he should tell her.

"I'm twenty-three..." Nigel said, while turning away from the mirror. The nurse nodded, and pointed to the exit.

"You're free to go, you're perfectly healthy" The nurse said. Before leaving Nigel asked the mare something that had been on his mind ever since he woke up.

"Hey, who brought me in?" He asked the nurse.

"Twilight Sparkle, she owns the library in town. It's hard to miss" The nurse told him. Nigel nodded, and walked out the door.
