Discord watches the scene unfold on a TV in Fluttershy's cottage, shedding tears at the prank he just saw pulled and says, "Oh human, that was a very funny prank. Although, it would have been better if she hadn't overreacted like that over an accident. You did make it a little bit worse when you complemented her while you were laughing, you mixed your signals up."

Fluttershy walks in and asks, "Discord, who are you talking to? Are you feeling any better today?"

He smiles and says to her, "Oh, I was just watching a good prank go bad. I wasn't talking to anypony in particular, just talking out loud. I do feel better than yesterday, though I still have the sniffles, plaid just isn't my color Fluttershy."

She smiles and says to him, "I am so glad to hear that, I have to agree with you on that. It is good that it is starting to fade away, in a couple days I think that you will be able to return to what you were doing before you got sick."

Celestia sees her sister trot down the halls with tears coming from her eyes and begins to worry saying, "What is wrong dear sister, did he not wake up?"

Luna sobs and then rushes into her sister's waiting hooves and says, "I-It's n-nothing like that sister. When I went to wait for him in his room, I woke up and accidentally kissed him."

She frowns softly and says, "I'm sorry, can you please explain what happened in detail?"

She calms down a little and sobs saying, "I went to his room and sat down in a chair and slept for a little bit, when I woke up, I was laying next to him on the sheets of the bed. I recalled not taking myself there, and thought I sleep walked there. I then remembered that I have never done that when my thoughts were interrupted by him saying Evenin' beautiful, did ya sleep well? Then I quickly turned and forgot that I was next to him, our faces met and our lips shared a kiss." Luna ignores how Rainbow bursts out laughing and saying what a good joke that was and continues explaining, "But that wasn't the reason I started to cry sister. I then scampered to the end of the bed as my face turned red and I tried to ask how I got there and why he kissed me when he suddenly started laughing and saying how he played a prank on me and didn't mean for to end in a kiss. I then got mad because he continued to laugh while saying he liked how soft my lips were and my coat didn't tickle him when our lips met. Then the worst thing happened and my anger took over and I slapped him with my hoof. Now I am afraid that he will not like me anymore. I then saw him raise a hand to his face and I was horrified that I hit him so hard that he actually started bleeding and then I quickly said I'm so sorry I didn't mean to hit you so hard and jumped off the bed and ran out of the room crying."

Applejack scowls at Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie who are still laughing at the prank that was pulled and scolds them saying, "Are ya two done laughing yet, the princess feels terrible about her first kiss bein an accident and strikin him. Ah can't believe how ya two can find that so funny."

Rainbow stops laughing and takes a deep breath and coughs for air, her laughter slowly subsiding as she responds, "We do feel bad for the unfortunate accident, but it was an accident though. He didn't mean for her to kiss him, it wasn't a part of the intended prank. He intended for you to scamper to the end of the bed in a panic, that is what we find so funny."

Celestia holds her sister in a hug and pats her back while her eye twitches in agitation at how her beloved sister's first kiss was stolen then says, "There there now, calm down dear sister. I am sure that he still likes you, and will forgive you. If he doesn't... well, you can give him nightmares until he does. We both need to strive to keep our anger in check, or our citizens shall suffer. Now Luna are you ready to return to the room and apologize for running out like that? I am sure that he is worried and is angry at himself for doing that. Shall we head back to speak to him since he is finally awake?"

Luna sighs and hangs her head and says, "Yeah, let's go back so I can see if he will forgive me for running out like that. I sure hope that he still likes me." She follows her sister out of the waiting room and to the room he is in, feeling a little worried at the possibility of him not liking her anymore.

I lay in bed, angry at myself for doing something so stupid and think, "Ah wonder if she'll come back. Well if she does, ah'll hafta let her know somehow that ah did kinda deserve that slap. Ah was raised to be somewhat of a southern gent, and it's improper to steal a lady's first kiss, even if it's accidental." I then hear a few pairs of hoofsteps coming from the hall and wait for them to arrive, deciding against playing a joke on whoever's coming. I can spot an alabaster white horn in front of the doorway, wondering who it belongs to I say, "Ah see yer horn from here, make yerself seen. Ah won't bite unless ya ask me to!"

She blushes and steps forth into the room, ignoring the giggle her sister let escape her mouth. She stands in the corner of the room as the rest of the group enters the room, quietly giggling at how he spoke to her and clears her throat saying, "Greetings, my name is Princess Celestia and I am Princess Luna's sister." She lets her anger rise a little bit and allows her mane to start smoking and says, "You have some explaining to do young colt, why did you pull such a reckless prank like that. My sister could have seriously injured you with her horn! What in Tartarus do you think you were doing?"

I chuckle and answer her, "Ah saw how she was sittin' in the chair asleep, ah didn't want her to hurt herself by bein' stuck in that posture for too long. Fallin' asleep in a position like that causes ya to suffer a very annoyin' and painful crick in yer neck. Ah also saw the opportunity to have a little good clean fun with her by layin' her beside me and watch what kinda reaction she woulda had. Ah hafta admit though, ah didn't expect her to forget she was lyin' next to me and turn her head to look at me. Therefore, it led to the accidental kiss. The reaction she had afterwards was flawless, it couldn't have been funnier if ah tried."

Luna steps forward into the room hesitantly and softly says, "Th-Thank you for being so thoughtful. I hope that you can forgive me for striking you so hard, I didn't mean to draw blood."

I look at her and smile saying, "Nah, ah can't be mad about it. In a way, ah deserved to be punished fer stealin' a lady's first kiss. C'mere kid, ah fergive ya fer hittin' me. In truth, ya didn't really hurt me all that bad. Ya should see how bad ah bleed if my brow is split open, facial wounds look worse than what they actually are." I open my arms wide, offering her a hug.

She hesitantly walks forth and smiles as he forgives her for hurting him and wraps her hooves around him and says, "Uhm thank you for the compliment, but I am most definitely not a kid. My sister and I have been around for a long time, though I may not have been awake for some of it."

I release her and hold my hands on her shoulders and say, "What'cha mean, neither of ya can be any older than twenty. Of course ya can't be awake the whole time, ya'd die tryin'."

Celestia and Luna both blush fiercely at hearing that, feeling flattered that he thinks they are so young. Ignoring the incessant sniggering coming from Applejack, Rainbow, and Pinkie, Luna coughs and says while continuing to blush, "Uhm...thank you for the compliment, but I have to say that we actually are...older than that. I don't mean that I have tried to stay awake all the time..."

I scratch my head to think and guess again asking, "Uh Are ya 30, or 35?"

Rainbow dash laughs and says, "Not even close dude!" She then falls to her side laughing her ass off along with Pinkie Pie.

I then continue to think as I continue to scratch my head as I look up with my mouth scrunched up in confusion and one eyebrow lowered and say, "Please don't tell me that yer older than 50, 'cause ya really don't look like grannies to me."

Celestia notices how confused he is getting as she hears his answer, blushing even deeper as Rainbow struggles for air as tears stream from her and Pinkie Pie's eyes. She then clears her throat and scowls at the two, annoyed at how funny they are finding this as Applejack is fighting bursting into laughter and looks around the room desperately for distractions. She then shakes her head and sighs saying, "Unfortunately, if you were trying to find your way to a heat source, you would be a block of ice."

I then keep scratching my head and run out of guesses as my mind stops working and say, "Then if ya ain't 50 and ya ain't 20, how old the sam-fuckin hell are ya? Please don't tell me yer younger than 18, 'cause that's illegal on earth and extremely frowned upon. Ah ain't no pedophile that gets off on kids younger than 18, ah'm one of the ones that would skin 'em alive and make 'em live without it."

Luna narrows her eyes and lightly hits him over the back of his head saying, "Watch your language around the young!"

I rub my head and say, "Ow, that hurt."

She then squints at him and says, "Good, then you learned something. Each time you curse in front of a young pony, I will find you and smack you over the head like I just did. Am I clear on that?"

I nod and rub my head saying, "Yep, ah gotcha loud and clear." I then watch as she smirks and says good.

They all gag at imagining that, effectively ending the laughing fit affecting Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie. Luna's action brings a smile to their faces, getting rid of the disgusting image that is in their heads. Celestia then sighs and says, "No, we are most definitely nowhere near that young. Before you guess again, I must tell you that Alicorns are long-lived. My sister and I are one thousand and some odd years old, and what she was trying to tell you was that she..." She looks over and sees that her sister is shaking her head pleadingly and points a hoof at herself and nods. She then nods her head in understanding and says, "My sister will tell you what she wants to say."

I feel my eyes widen in shock at hearing that and say, "Well ah guess that ah really am in a fantasy world if yer both that age and look so young."

Luna watches as her sister blushes at the compliment, feeling a tad jealous and clears her throat saying, "What I was trying to tell you earlier, was that when I wasn't awake for some of it, I meant that I was banished to the moon for getting jealous and tried to make night last forever."

I then look at Luna and see that she is looking at the ground in shame and I move one hand to just under her jaw and place my thumb on her chin and lift her face to look me in the eyes and say, "Ya don't look the type that would git jealous over somethin' like that. Night is just as important as the day, night gives everyone the chance to sleep and regain their energy for the next day as well as allow their bodies to heal while they're vulnerable in that state. Ya yerself told me that ya have power over the Dream Realm, if ah understand that right, that means that yer the one that protects them durin' the night when they can't protect themselves. Ah'm guessin' that since ya both rule side by side and raise the sun and moon together, that'd mean that yer exactly like yer sister. She protects them durin' the day and deals with annoyances. When the sun falls and becomes night, ya take over fer her and protect them durin' the night as well as dealin' with annoyances. Everyone loves the night 'cause they can usually drop their worries and sleep peacefully." I then watch as her body begins to glow with a silvery color, forcing me to narrow my eyes.

Her face looks at him, stunned at hearing those words come from a complete stranger and says, "Our subjects...love the night?" She slowly starts to see everything grow brighter as she waits for him to answer.

I then chuckle and say, "Yep they sure do, many would say that night time is the best time of the day. Me included, 'cause ah don't have to deal with the stressful life of a farmer at that moment."

Luna then beams a wide smile as her body glows a bright silver, blinding everypony in the room happily saying, "I am truly loved!"

Celestia blinks several times, waiting for the purple spots to disappear from her vision. After a few seconds pass, she looks at her sister and is shocked to see that she is the same height as her saying, "Luna, you're the same size as me now!"

She then cocks her head and looks in the mirror, actually able to see her face without standing on her hind hooves a little and says, "I finally am dear sister, I am so happy! She then rushes to her sister and gives her a big hug and remembers who made this possible and makes her way over to where Roger is at with a grin on her face and says, "I have you to thank for making this possible, Roger Sheridan. Here is your reward for your deed." She then leans her head down to his and gives him a real kiss on the lips, complete with a smooching sound. She then pulls away and says, "Thank you so much for this, now that I think back on that prank you pulled, I shall have to find a way to get you back for that."

Celestia then smiles and steps forward as Luna begins talking with the other girls about her sudden growth and says, "I was hoping that she would one day figure out that her subjects loved her just as much as me, thank you for making her realize that. Here is my reward for telling her that." She leans her head down and kisses him on the cheek, steps back a little bit and gets into a formal attitude and says, "Roger Sheridan, it has come to my attention that you came from a different world and are in fact, a farmer as well. I must ask you a question. Do you think that you can use your experience and help us deal with our shortage of food?"

I then notice everyone in the room look at me for an answer, I then pretend to think about it for a second and say, "Mah answer depends. It depends on whether or not, anythin' else of mine managed to wind up here as well."

Pinkie Pie steps forward and then says, "Absopositutely! That storm that brought you here brought all sorts of things with it! Oh, you might want to know that your animals are waiting for their food."

I then sigh saying, "It's a double edged sword then, the positive is that some stuff was brought over. The negative is that ah need to feed the damn animals before ah can do anythin' about fields, but ah doubt that the storm brought them with it. Which of ya found me, ah gotta know if mah tractor made it over with me?"

Applebloom steps forward and clears her throat gently and says, "Ah don't know what a traktur is, but if it's big an' huge, it is in front of the fence ya crashed through."

I then use my tongue to make a clicking sound and say, "Sorry 'bout that, one of the meteors must've landed real close. 'cause the last thing ah remember is being pushed through the side of the cab and hearin' the crack of a fence breakin'. Ah'm guessin the set of legs ah saw were yers then? If ya'd like, ah could fix that fer ya?"

She blushes and then says, "Eeyup, mah friend Spike was walkin' me and the Crusaders home when the sudden storm got worse."

Applejack then steps forth and says, "Ah appreciate ya offerin', but we can handle that ourselves. Thank ya anyway."

I then sigh and chuckle, sitting up fully and swing my legs over the edge of the bed and say, "Well, ah guess ah need to git started on the evenin' chores then." I then feel drafty and look at what I am wearing and grumble and say, "Have any of ya any clue as to where mah fuckin clothes are?" I see Luna wind up to whack me on the head again and quickly say, "Hey, if ah ever hear of ya usin' any of the curse words ah say, ah'm gonna make ya eat a bar of soap." I then watch as Luna lowers her hoof and scowl at me even more.

Applejack looks to Applebloom with a grin as she nods vigorously saying, "Ah do! Ah promise not to use any curse word ya say, ah don't wanna eat a bar of soap!"

Luna then glares at me saying, "Where do you think you are going? You are in no shape to do strenuous work like that, you just had your life saved by the kind Dr. Greymare!"

I then chuckle and say, "Sorry princess, but ah've had worse things happen to me than this that didn't keep me down. The only thing that will keep me from doin' chores is if ah've a broken leg and can't walk at all on it. Please find me mah clothes, will ya?"

She is about to argue further when Applejack says, "Uhm Princess Luna, forgive me for sayin' this but if he's a farmer like me, he's also just as stubborn as me when it comes to workin'. So unfortunately, ah recommend that ya not try to force him to stay unless it puts others in danger like ah did one year when ah said ah could do all the Apple buckin' by myself."

Luna sighs in defeat and then says somberly, "Oh fiiiinnnneeee. If I can't keep you from leaving, then I will just have to watch you and make sure that you don't hurt yourself." She then huffs and opens a closet door and pulls out some folded, dirty garments and a pair of boots.

I watch as Luna pulls out my clothes and sets them on the bed beside me and says, "So pink one, do ya know where the other items are?"

She smiles and laughs saying, "My name is Pinkie Pie, I will have to throw you a 'Welcome to Equestria and Ponyville Party' after you get done with your chores. Of course I know where that stuff is, I can lead you there if you like."

I smile and then say, "Ah was just about to ask that Pinkie Pie, but ah need to get that tractor of mine first. Meet me there will ya? Oh and please hold off on the welcome party til tomorrow when ah git mah chores done first."

Pinkie grins widely and then says, "Oki doki loki, not a problem! I will be waiting there for you!" She then heads out to wait for him by his tractor in front of the broken fence at Sweet Apple Acres.

Celestia then smiles and says to the others, "Well girls, do the rest of you want to go with us to watch over our new friend Roger?"

I hear the rest of them say yes eagerly and then I say to them, "Please call me Roger or Rodge, it's what mah friends call me." I watch them head outside to let me get dressed, I press the call button on the bed and wait for the nurse to come take the IV out and prep me to leave.

Nurse Redheart makes her way to the room and enters it, seeing the patient sitting on the edge of the bed appearing ready to leave and say, "Good evening, my name is Nurse Redheart. You better get back onto that bed mister, you aren't ready to leave yet. So what can I get for you today?" She then notices blood on the sheets immediately and gets worried saying, "What happened, where did this blood come from?! Did one of the stitches come undone, are you feeling any pain right now?"

I then smile to her and say, "This blood here came from a prank ah played on someone, and it wound up with me gittin slapped bah a hoof. They didn't mean to hit me so hard and split my cheek open a little bit, could ya put a bandage on it? One other thing ah can think of is that ya could kindly get this IV outta mah arm, so ah can head home and do mah evenin' chores."

She then frowns at him saying, "Unfortunately, I have to protest sir. You just had major surgery and your body needs time to recover, but I can bandage your cheek for you." She then prepares to head out when he stops her.

I chuckle and then say, "Unfortunately, ah spoke with Princess Celestia and Princess Luna earlier. They both asked me if ah could help them with their food shortage. After all, ah'm a farmer. Ah'm also as stubborn as a mule, no offense." I then hear a pony walk by my room.

A random mule walks past room 11 after visiting a friend and says, "None taken."

Nurse Redheart sighs and then says, "I will speak to them about your request then, I will return shortly with the bandage."
