After a short distance, the three ponies had arrived to the house in question. Big Mac giving a thoughtful 'hmmmmm' as he looked the house over.

"This house was never here before, was it?" Rarity questioned.

"Nope." Big Mac replied as he followed Nurse Redheart into the home, closely followed by Rarity. The small line of ponies stopped as Nurse Redheart gasped seeing the creature before her. Spike running up and greeting Rarity with a hug.

"Thank Celestia you're back, I was getting worried everypony wouldn't make it in time." He said smiling at the white unicorn, happy to see her.

Nurse Redheart gently nudged the creature causing it to stir, and give a groan.

"My goodness, don't move sir, we're here to help you. You've sustained some injuries so please don't move, you could only further the damage." The nurse said sternly.

"Al-alright." Replied the creature, causing everything to momentarily stop, which quickly started again.

After a few minutes, with some directions from the nurse, and the young man had been placed onto the wagon Big Mac had brought with them. After the young man had been secured onto the wagon, they quickly made way to the medical tent inside Sweet Apple Acres.

Questioning and puzzled looks were given by all passers-by as the small crew, and injured being, was brought to the tent. Most of the ponies had left the tent to finish resting at their respective homes, while AJ and Twilight were the only two left in the tent, besides a gaggle of Doctor ponies, which all sat quietly around a table, awaiting the creature in question.

"Clear the way, patient coming through." Nurse Redheart spoke up as Rarity levitated the young man into the tent and onto a bed across the room from Twilight and AJ.

"Holy horse apples!? What in tarnation is that thang?" AJ spoke out in shock upon seeing the creature, bolting upright in her bed to get a better look.

"I haven't the slightest darling." Rarity said as she moved to Big Macintosh's previous place between the two mares. The doctors all spoke quietly as they examined the being in front of them. Gauze and bandages were applied to many areas of the being, and quickly around his eyes. He had lost consciousness along the route to the farm and had yet to reawaken.

Twilight gave another groan, sitting up in her bed from the commotion going on across the room. Slowly removing the ice pack and focusing on the what she thought was a pony being worked on, she gasped aloud, dropping the ice pack onto the floor of the tent. Her mouth hung open as she took in what she saw.

"Spike! Get me red parchment stat!" Twilight yelled causing everyone to stop.

"Everypony back away from that creature! NOW!" Twilight yelled as she got up from the bed, moving across the room to the young man being bandaged up.

The doctors didn't listen as they continued bandaging up the man. Twilight giving a growl as she used her magic to pick up and move everypony away from the young man. AJ, Rarity, Big Mac and Spike all gasped seeing Twilights actions.

"I'm sorry everypony, But on royal commands I must ask that you to exit the tent and wait to be called upon. The princess will be here shortly." Twilight spoke as she pushed them out of the tent.

"Spike! Parchment! Now!" Twilight yelled causing the young dragon to trip over himself to hand the lavender unicorn the red parchment.

Twilight quickly scribbled something onto the parchment and wrapped it with the ribbon, handing it back to Spike, who promptly sent it flying away with his magical fire breath. A few tense seconds passed by as they sat in silence. Within a minute of the scroll being sent, there was a bright flash outside of the tent. Celestia entered the tent with haste giving a slight pant as she looked around, her eyes falling onto the human man, laying bandaged and unconscious on the bed at the far end of the tent.

Twilight began to speak but was cut off by the princess.

"In all my years, I never thought I would ever see another human in this world. I have waited a millennia to see another one, and here, right before my eyes, lay one of them." The white Alicorn spoke softly, tears coming to her eyes as she collapsed at the humans side, her head resting quietly onto the bedside next to the him.

"Princess! Are you alright?" A mixed shout came from all the ponies in the tent.

"I'm fine my little ponies. There is no need for alarm. I was simply startled is all. This is the first human to set foot into Equestria since before Nightmare Moon had been imprisoned." Celestia stated with a soft smile, still looking to the mans bandaged face.

"Uh....... So what in the hay is a human?" AJ spoke, breaking the silence and causing the princess to laugh quietly.

"My little ponies, let me tell you of a story untold to any. This story is my own, I never put it into a book, and I never wish it to be in one. So please, keep this to yourselves." She said giving a sigh.

"When I was many years younger, I had experienced storms such as the one that had transpired today. Many warnings were given to all ponies about the storms, and for the unicorns to avoid using magic during them. However, every so often a unicorn is not told, or forgets about the warnings, and uses magic anyway. This in turn causes a great shift in time and space, which initially rips a hole in the fabric of time itself."

"During the time before Nightmare Moon being imprisoned, there was a storm such as the one from earlier. One of my students forgot about when they were told to never use magic during this type of storm, and essentially brought a human into Equestria from another time and another world. The human had been a farmer from a green planet filled with life, and plants. Their population was small, and he knew nothing of our world. He quickly befriended myself, and my sister Luna, at the time though, she was Nightmare Moon. He taught many ponies how to till the earth, and make gardens. At the time we all were vaguely familiar with farming, but what he had taught us, saved all of Equestria. With his help, we all now know how to farm and create life from the seed we plant in the ground."

"Without him, we may not be here today. However during that time, Nightmare Moon decided to never let the night pass. There was an incident that caused the man to lose his life at her hooves. This was the catalyst that caused me to imprison her on the moon. I was sure we could have found a way to continue to pass the day to night, and back, without her becoming so annoyed at the ponies of Equestria for sleeping through her beautiful night. But upon this young man's death, I snapped. I broke down and called upon the elements of harmony to help banish her to the moon."

"That human was the only being to truly make me smile, and treat me as just more than another friend. He was my mentor for as long as I had known him. I had fallen in love with him, I had hoped that this human would be the same one, but as I can see, he is different in every way."

The small group sat in stunned silence, taking in what they had just heard. Celestia stood and headed for the tents entrance.

"Twilight, I will leave this human in your care for the time being. As well as your friends, and all of Ponyville. He will need to readjust to his new surroundings, as he will not be able to return to his original home again in his lifetime. Equestria is now his new home."

Celestia gave a saddened smile as she began to exit the tent but stopped as she heard an unfamiliar voice. The voice of the human.

"So that's it eh? I must be dead then because I have no clue as to what you people are talking about, and where the hell is Equestria? I've never even heard of such a place."

Everypony, including the princess, gasped, freezing in shock from the sudden outburst.

"Oh my, I didn't think you were......" Celestia was cut off.

"Awake? Sorry to disappoint sweetheart. I may be bandaged up and in rough shape but I think I can still pull off playing possum pretty good." He let loose a loud laugh, then a groan as he pulled his hand up to his head. "Ow, that smarts. What the hell happened anyway? Last thing I recall is hearing a loud ringing sound, then a flash of light."

"Well." Celestia began. "You were caught in a time storm, and were essentially sucked into an alternate plane."

A short silence followed and then the man burst out laughing.

"AAAAAAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAA! Holy crap that's a good one. I don't think I've ever heard anything so funny in my life. Thanks, HAHAHA, I really needed a good laugh, but seriously, what happened?"

Another awkward silence.

"That is what happened, sorry." Twilight spoke rather bluntly.

"What the hell!?" He yelled as he began tearing off the bandages from his eyes and head. "You people are nothing but a bunch of fuuuuu........." He trailed off as the bandages left his eyes before they focused on the 'people' he had been talking to in the room.

"Heh, heh heh. *snort* Hahaha, HAAAAHAHAHAAA!!!! Oh god I must be dead or insane!? What the FUCK is going ON!?"

"Such language! Please refrain from using such filth in the presence of the Princess, and ourselves!" Rarity stated rather rudely.

The young mans head snapped to Rarity as she spoke up. "Y-you talked?! That's not possible. How can a pony talk?!" He said as he pulled his hand up covering his mouth in shock.

"It's alright Rarity, he is, after all, just now taking in his surroundings, whether they are from his original plane of existence, or not." Celestia said giving a warm smile to the man.

"B-but how? This isn't possible. Horses can’t talk?! How can you all talk?" He said looking around at the entire group as he just noticed how colorful everything was.

"And what is up with the colors? None of you even look real. Well at least I.............." He looked down at his hands now for the first time seeing that they too, were now a colorful shade of tan peachiness. He began to breath heavily looking at himself, throwing off the covers and seeing the rest of himself, and the clothes he had on, all were a cartoony shade instead of the normal degree of realism he had been used to.

"Please calm yourself, you’re going to pass out if you don't breathe properly." Twilight spoke, moving up to his side.

"Properly? PROPERLY!? How the HELL can I breathe properly knowing I'm in a flipping cartoon world with talking ponies?!" He shouted pulling his hands up to his head, pulling on his hair.

"There just isn't any possible explanation to all of this. Cartoons are meant for children, they can't possibly be real life places! Can they?" He slowed for a moment as his demeanor calmed slightly, his hands fell to cover his face in silence as he listened to the breathing from himself and everyone in the tent. He kept his hands over his face while he spoke out.

"Ok, I think I've calmed down enough. You all seem to be rather intelligent beings and have morality, otherwise the white one wouldn't have asked me to watch my language in front of the princess." He stopped for a moment as he gathered that bit of information.

"Wait, princess? This land is ruled by royalty? That is rather strange. But then again, I am in a cartoon world filled with the full spectrum of colorful ponies. What’s not to believe." He laughed, finally pulling his hands down and laying back in his bed.

He lay there quietly for a short time before finally picking up again. "Alright." he began as he seemed to be taking everything in pretty quickly, adjusting faster than the ponies had thought. His hands found each other, and placed themselves under his chin in thought as he sat up again.

"Ok, either this is a dream or I really am in an alternate reality. I'm not leaning toward the dream part, as I can actually feel everything and I didn't wake up from shock. So I guess I'm actually here, and not dead." He said giving an exasperated sigh.

"So......... What now?" He said to noone in general.
