I began to slowly stir and come back to my senses. As my eyes began to slowly focus, I noticed I was in a bright white room. I would have believed I died and was sent to the afterlife if it weren't for the curtains and a steady 'beeping' noise.

"I must be in a hospital, but where am I exactly?" I stated to myself, taking everything in and remembering past events. My home, the Netherlings, running for my life and confronting Trick, the strange light, and my satchel with the vial…wait a minute.

"My satchel, where is my satchel?!" I exclaimed, frantically looking around. Then the curtains opened to reveal a white creature of some sorts.

"Oh good, your awake. How are you feeling?" She asked with a serene voice. She appears to be female judging by her voice, a hybrid of a horse and a human, standing on two legs. She had hooves for feet, hands like a human, a well fit figure with C-cup size breasts, a small muzzle for a mouth and small horse ears sticking out of her pink mane, which was pulled back in a bun. She was covered in a white coat, and wearing a nurse outfit that wasn't too revealing, pretty professional by medical standards.

"Well that's adorable…wait, what am I saying? She's a horse…human…girl." I said mentally. As I was in thought, the white mare stared at me in curiosity.

"Hmm, maybe you don't understand me, or you can't speak." She stated with a hint of wonder in her voice.

"Oh, I'm sorry. It's just that I've never seen a being like you before, and you can talk as well." I finally spoke, breaking out of my observant trance. The mare merely giggles at my reply.

"Yes, I can speak, and so can you. That's good. I hope you're feeling alright." She said with a warm smile.

"I'm feeling okay, my name is Vincent Valor. I take it you must be my assigned nurse?" I assumed with interest and curiosity of this mare standing before me.

"That's right. My name is Nurse Redheart. It's my duty to make you feel welcomed and healthy." She stated with kindness, but some assertiveness as well.

"I feel that I'm in capable hands." I commented, earning a giggle from Redheart. Remembering what I was concerned about, I drew my attention to the nurse with a more serious and concerned demeanor.

"By the way, Miss Redheart..."

"Redheart is fine dear, no need for the miss." She quickly states before letting me resume.

"Forgive me Redheart, but have you or a staff come across a satchel by chance in my possession?" I asked with a hint of worry in my tone.

"Oh why yes, give me a moment and I shall retrieve it and your clothes." She stated with that pleasant smile.

"Thank you very mu…wait, my clothes? Does that mean that I'm…?" I state and looked under my covers resting on me and noticed I was in nothing but a hospital gown. I looked up and noticed the blush on Nurse Redhearts cheeks, veering her eyes away to not look at me, she stated quickly.

"We were concerned about the injuries you have sustained and had to perform a full examination."

"Oh I see, well I appreciate you looking out for my well-being." I said, hoping to have comforted her and relieved her of the awkward tension she was in. She looked back at me and smiled.

"It was no trouble at all, we were glad Fluttershy brought you in when she did, otherwise you would have suffered blood-loss."

"I should give this 'Fluttershy' my regards if I ever meet her again." I stated with respect.

"Oh, that reminds me. You have visitors who wish to see you." Redheart beams.

"Really!? I wouldn't have expected that, being new and all." I said in surprise. It was nice knowing there were people…er, horses…whatever, just being concerned and welcoming, even towards complete strangers.

"I'll let them in and get acquainted with you while I gather your things." Redheart replies while approaching the door with a smile.

"Thank you very much Redheart." As I thanked her, she looks back my way, nods, and makes her exit. As she stepped out, I can hear a faint collection of voices as she opens the door, and permits the people outside to come in to visit me. I hear trotting outside, and as the door opens, I see a group of six more colorful horse/human beings, all appearing to be females.

"Boy, I feel like a lucky stud right now. Wake up conversing with an adorable nurse, and now six girls are spending time with me, so when is the prank coming, he he." I thought to myself, chuckling at my own comment.

I sit up to introduce myself, but then I felt a throbbing pain on my back and fell back down on my bed. The girls gasp in worry, and a yellow girl in the group flew towards me and places her hands on my chest delicately to keep me in bed. I looked up in surprise by her reaction and was even more surprised when I noticed she was still in the air…FLYING.

"Wait a minute, did you just fly? How!?" I stated in shock. The yellow girl lands softly and moves back, hiding her face behind her incredibly long pink hair. It was incredibly cute how shy she seems, that's when it hit me on who she might have been.

"I'm sorry if I startled you. You wouldn't happen to be Fluttershy, would you?" I asked softly, taking into account she may be as delicate as her name leads me to believe.

"Um…yes…I-I-I am Fl-Fl-Fluttersh-shy." She replies, speaking barely in a whisper with a slight stutter. Luckily for me, being a musician means to train your ears to pick up even slightest of sound to comprehend and identify it.

"I just wanted to thank you for helping me when you did, if you hadn't showed up, I wouldn't be here and having another day to spend with wonderful people such as yourself…which reminds me, forgive my rudeness but, what are you exactly?" I asked, beginning to break the mystery of this land's inhabitants.

A purple girl of the group steps forward, gaining and directing my attention towards her as she begins to answer my question.

"We are ponies, and as to how Fluttershy can fly, she has wings, part of being a Pegasus."

I looked back at Fluttershy to see she had yellow feathered wings. I took this moment to observe her fully and thoroughly. She was about 5' 8" tall with a yellow coat, makes sense since she's a 'pony'. She has a long pink mane and tail that was sleek with a slight shine, and her eyes were a shade of turquoise. She was wearing a green wool sweater, which covered her amazing D-cups, and a cute aqua blue skirt that drapes down to her knees with a small emblem of 3 blue butterflies with pink wings on the hip of her skirt. She has a slightly slim figure with a little hip giving her that soft curvy body. All in all, a cute girl with a sense of innocence to her, hopefully I wasn't blushing while admiring her appearance.

"Well I believe introductions are in order, my name is Vincent Valor. It's a pleasure to meet you all." I stated as I finished my 'admiration'. I directed my attention to the purple girl, or mare as I believed that was the term for a female pony. She had a dark purple mane that passed her shoulders by a couple inches, with a streak of lighter purple and a pinkish purple hair running down her bang. She had a horn protruding from her forehead, and her mane and tail had a straight hairstyle to it, with her bangs cut evenly above her eyebrows. Her eyes had a dark shade of violet, and she was wearing a white button-up uniform shirt with a dark purple skirt that had a small emblem of a large light purple star with six-points, and five little white stars around the larger star. She was pretty slim, not much of an athletic build by far, but still a healthy figure nonetheless with a decent C-cup size breasts. She also had…wings on her back? Okay, this slightly puzzled me to see her have wings and a horn, but I decided to proceed from there.

"Let's start with you and work our way down, to make it simple." I stated with a smile, gesturing towards the purple mare.

"Very well, my name is Twilight Sparkle, I am the faithful student of Princess Celestia, and I run the Golden Oak Library here in Ponyville," Taking notice of my questioning reaction, she resumes.

"The town you are in is called Ponyville, which is a neighboring town located by Equestria's capital, Canterlot, where Princess Celestia and Princess Luna rule."

"And I take it 'Equestria' is the name of this land?" I asked.

"That's correct." She stated.

"Okay, also why does Fluttershy have just wings and you have wings and a horn?" I asked.

"Oh let me explain about the Pony races," She clears her throat as she begins her explanation.

"There are three Pony races in Equestria: The Pegasi, whom has wings and have the ability to fly, control the weather, and walk on clouds. Next are the Unicorns, who are capable of using magic, but aren't exactly physically fit compared to the other races. And finally there is the Earth Ponies, which has neither wings nor a horn, but are the most physically built, and are well versed in nurturing for the earth and supplying in food." She finished in a matter-of-fact fashion.

I took the time to process and recite this all in my mind to have this information instilled into my brain to avoid any future confusion. But still one question remained unanswered.

"Wow, that is interesting and unique. So why is it that you have both a horn and wing again?" I asked once more.

"That is because I, along with the Princesses, am another race known as Alicorns, which has both wings and a horn." She stated, once more in the intellectual fashion. Taking everything in, I nodded in understanding, satisfied with the answers provided about Ponyvilles inhabitants, capabilities, and significance.

I decided to resume with further introductions, but before I can open my mouth to speak, I was blinded by pink and caught by surprise as well as frightened by the sudden change.

"GAH, WHAT THE HELL?!" A pink mare stood before me speaking with a blinding quickness, I barely made out what she was saying.

"Hi there my name is Pinkie Pie, but you can call me Pinkie, you seem pretty nice, and pretty cute, we should be friends. Oh my gosh that reminds me, you're new here which means we should throw you a 'Welcome to Ponyville' party. I'm Ponyville's party planner, there's not a party I haven't missed for anypony in Ponyville, since I throw parties for all my friends, and all of Ponyville is a friend of mine. Do you like cupcakes, cookies, cake, punch, games, an-mmghmghmmm…" Pinkies mouth was closed with Twilights hand, chuckling awkwardly at the randomness that is Pinkie Pie.

"Sorry about that Vincent, she's usually like this…well, all the time, especially with newcomers." Twilight stated with a sheepish smile. I took a moment to gather myself and everything that happened, and couldn't help but burst in a fit of laughter.

"HA HA HA, OH MY GOD YOU ARE A RIOT! Anybody with that much fun and energy in em is 'A'-okay in my book. I'd be glad to call you a friend." I said, trying to catch my breath from my laughing spree, only to stop from the pain on my back.

Once I was calm and collected, I looked at Pinkie and she was incredibly pink. Pink puffy mane and tail, pink coat, the only thing that wasn't pink were her eyes, which had a light blue hue. She has a body with a little 'extra pounds', but was far from overweight, just barely chubby. About the same height as Fluttershy, and has D-cup sized breasts that was barely contained in a yellow shirt around her voluptuous, cuddly body. With a pink skirt with a small emblem of 3 balloons on each hip, two yellow balloons on the left and right side, and a blue balloon in the middle.

While I was observing Pinkie, I noticed she had this growing smile which I never thought would stretch so far in my life. Before I knew it, I had the life squeezed out of me as Pinkie gave me an incredible hug. I was struggling to breathe as she squeezed me, and her breasts were smashed against my face.

"Pinkie, may I please breathe?" I choked out in her grasp.

"Oopsie daisy, sorry Vivi." Pinkie replied with a sheepish smile.

~SQUEE~

"The hell was that noise?" I must have gone delusional from the vice grip I received. Wait a minute…

"Um…Vivi? You know my name is Vincent, not Vivi, right?"

"Well duh. I know that silly willy Vivi." Pinkie replies.

I merely gave up on pressing forward, shrugged it off and smiled. "Just Pinkie being Pinkie I suppose. Anyways, back to the rest."

Just as I was about to resume, Nurse Redheart enters with my clothes and my satchel. "Oh thank god." I grabbed my items from her and thanked her, she then walks to a cupboard and produced what I believed was medicine and poured me a glass of water.

"You should take this. It'll help relieve the pain from your injury." Redheart said, handing me my medication.

"Thanks, also when may I check out by chance?" I asked.

"You may check out tomorrow when you have recovered fully. I ask that you take it easy for a couple days after to not agitate and reopen your wound." Redheart informs me with great concern, and with that she takes her leave, perhaps to give me time for my visitors.

I examined my things real quick, looking inside my satchel to find, with a sigh of great relief, the vial was still there among other small possessions, such as my phone which only serves as a music player and camera, my charger, my black art book, small art supplies, some food, and two bottles of water. Seeing that everything was in order put me in great ease. I placed the satchel to the side of me and took my medicine.

After taking my medication and drinking the water given to me, I turned my attention to a white unicorn with a well-kept purple main and tail, long with the end that spirals downwards while her mane curls outwards on her long bangs, brushed to the side slightly as well as the back of her mane producing the same curls. Her eyes sparkle in blue with full eyelashes, and complimented with a light blue eye shadow. She was 5' 9" tall with a well-defined hourglass shape body, wearing a well-fitted purple dress with C-cup sized breasts barely showing their cleavage from the opening of the V neck of her dress. I swear she could pass as a model for the amount of care she puts into her display of person.

"What a radiant display of beauty and fashion, may I have the honor of knowing your name miss?" I asked with the best gesture of a bow of my head I can muster while in bed.

"Why, the honor is mine darling. My name is Rarity, Ponyville's fashionista and owner of the Carousel Boutique." She declares while approaching with a display of grace and etiquette per step. I gently clasp her hand and elevate them by her fingers and place a small kiss upon them.

"It is a pleasure to have made an acquaintance with you, perhaps we may see more of each other on better circumstances."

"A charmer and a looker. It's not every day one meets a gentlecolt who is courteous towards a lady." Rarity compliments with great satisfaction and a slight blush. I don't usually receive such compliments like this, since I usually keep to myself sometimes, but hearing this made me blush like mad and I couldn't help but look away, trying to hide my embarrassment.

"Also I took the liberty to patch up your clothing and had them washed, they were in dreadful condition." Rarity stated, regaining my attention towards her.

"Really!? You didn't have to Rarity, but thank you. I greatly appreciate it." I thanked her with upmost gratitude, displaying a warm smile towards Rarity.

"You are very welcome, darling. If you ever need new clothes or repairs made, just come to me and I shall see to it that the job is done to meet your satisfaction." Rarity replied with an earnest glee.

"You are too kind Rarity. Thank you." I nodded in appreciation from such a welcoming display of kindness. Earning a delicate smile follow by a slight giggle from Rarity.

Next my attention falls upon an orange mare with a golden blond mane and tail, both pulled to a pony tail. "He he, a ponytail on a pony, that's pretty funny, but it looks good on her." She wore a brown Stetson hat, and her eyes were a stunning emerald color, with three small white freckles on each cheek. She was adorned in a cowgirl getup, a white and brown shirt, fitted jeans wrapped in a belt with an apple buckle, with three apple emblems on the pockets of her jeans. She seems very toned, not a sign of any excess fat or anything. She looked about 5' 7", with probably b or c-cup sized breasts, and a fine slender trim body figure.

"Hey there suga' cube. Names Applejack, mah family and ah' run Sweet Apple Acres, where we grow the best darn apples ya'll can sink your teeth into." Applejack said with a strong southern accent. I actually thought that was pretty attractive and seem to suit her to a 'T'. Then I noticed she had her arms extended. I proceeded in giving her a good handshake, and boy did she have a good grip. Now that told me that she must have been a hard worker, a grip and body like that, seems kinda obvious right?

"It's great to meet you Applejack. I love your accent by the way. It truly suits ya…and mighty attractive." I said finishing with a slight accent of my own and giving her a playful wink, earning a blush from Applejack.

"Why thank ya kindly there Vincent." Applejack said.

And finally, I came down to the last of the bunch. Flying with a confident grin was a blue Pegasus. She had a rough tomboyish look to her. A short and messy rainbow mane and a lengthy but equally messy rainbow tail, magenta eyes, goggles strapped against her forehead, a short white t-shirt with blue sleeves with a cloud shooting a rainbow lightning on her chest, wrapped snug around her and her B-cup breasts, dark blue sport shorts, and fingerless gloves. She was about 5' 6", and has an athletic trim build, but still had a slight petite look to her, just slightly though.

"And finally, who do we have here?" I stated

"The names Rainbow Dash, fastest flier in all of Equestria, and soon to be in the Wonderbolts. No, I know, I'm awesome." Rainbow stated, looping in the air, striking a pose. She sure is confident in her ability, I'll give her that. This should be interesting.

"The fastest flier you say? I would love to see ya in action." I stated, giving her a challenging grin. She seemed to have caught on with my message as she returned with a devious grin.

"How about I show ya in a race, if you can handle it." She challenged back with that grin of hers, darting her gaze into my eyes.

"That's not a bad idea. I can use a good competition."

"Awesome, though you may wanna heal up and all. I don't want you making excuses when I kick your flank." Rainbow boldly commented.

"You are so on." We decided upon the brief engagement and concluded by bumping fists.

Honestly, this was pretty unbelievable. I just arrived to a world inhabited by bipedal ponies, made some really interesting friends, and being cared for and welcomed with great kindness. This kind of thing doesn't happen often, and I was in deep gratitude. "I should find a way to repay these girls somehow for their great kindness and consideration. But there is still the matter of my home world that I must handle." After breaking from my thought, we finalized our introductions and everybody took their leave. Twilight turns around by the door and faces me.

"I'll come back tomorrow to pick you up. Since you're new, I can give you a tour around Ponyville and we can get to know one another better."

"That sounds great. I'll be looking forward to seeing you tomorrow then. Thank you Twilight." I acknowledged, earning a smile from Twilight.

"Great, I'll see you then. Bye Vincent." Twilight bids farewell, stepping out the room and out of sight. I decided to take this moment to examine the vial in my satchel. Reaching for my satchel at my side, I placed it on my lap and produced the vial from inside. I began looking at it, seeing it as just a simple vial. It had something dark inside, but I couldn't make out what it was. When I shook it, it didn't swish like a liquid would, but instead made a 'jingle'. Whatever was inside appeared to be small and solid.

"I wonder what's so scary about this. It looks like a simple vial to the naked eye." I thought to myself. Then I felt this strange surge run up my arm, tingling my body with a slight pressure.

"Open it" I hear a faint whisper, like something was speaking right beside me. I looked around and saw nothing but the walls and window of the room I was in.

"Open it" Once again I hear it, louder this time and almost haunting. As dreading as it may seem, I felt this urge to actually comply and open this vial, and so my hand slowly reaches for the cork snugged inside and sealing this strange but simple container in my hand.

Author's Notes:

Well that was nice, Vincent wakes up in Equestria and is introduced with some new friends. But what is the deal with the vial? And why is he hearing a voice beckoning to him? I guess we'll find out later. Maybe we get to see what is inside the vial. Now if this turns out pretty good and you readers want more work from me, I'll be glad to do more and change up on the style and everything. After all that, stay tuned you guys, and Keep it Jammin'. XD
