>You turn from the window and make for the door, before suddenly collapsing.
>Looks like days without food and almost being mauled to death did a number on your body.
>”Oh no, you poor thing!” squealed Fluttershy, who lifted you onto your feet. “You’re probably tired and hungry from being stuck in that nasty forest, yes? Don’t worry, momma Fluttershy will make everything better.”
>While you appreciated the help, Fluttershy was talking to you like you were just a brainless animal. It was better than the way some people had treated you back on earth, but it was still degradingly humiliating.
>”I’ll head down to the hospital café and get something for it to eat” Redheart says, before leaving.
>It.
>You were an “it”.
>Sure, these p0nies might not have ever seen a human before, but still. It’s going to be difficult to prove yourself as intelligent and equal as they are…
>You feel the Pegasus prod you and you turn to face it.
>”Um, I know you can’t speak but… do you have a name?”
>You nod.
>”And are you um, male?
>You nod again.
>”I have an idea… we’ll have to wait until we get to Twilight’s though…” Fluttershy shakes her head. “Never mind. I’m sure you’ve got lots of questions. Should I start with how we rescued you?”
>You wonder who Twilight is… doesn’t matter, you should listen to what Fluttershy has to say.
>You nod your head, and she continues.
>”Well, um, I met up with Twilight for some breakfast at Sugarcube corner, and Pinkie Pie was acting really weirdly. She acts weird most of the time anyways; yesterday she was really, really weird, like something bad was going to happen. She said her Pinkie sense was telling her that something was about to happen in the Everfree Forest.”
>Fluttershy shudders slightly. “So Twilight and I decided to get Rainbow Dash, head off into the forest. We heard some roars… and then we found you.” Fluttershy begins to tear up. “I’m so sorry for the big meanie weenie! I’ll make sure he apologises to you, in person.”
>Big meanie weenie? That’s an understatement, if you ever heard one.
>You sigh, and ruffle Fluttershy’s mane, just as Redheart returns with a bowl of salad. Your stomach immediately rumbles at the sight of food, and Redheart giggles.
>”Ok big guy, here you go.” She holds the bowl out to you and you immediately start eating at it, not even bothering to use any utensils. You were far too hungry for that.
>You quickly finish off the salad, sighing in pleasure. Fluttershy stares up at you, evidently curious.
>”Well, now that it’s had something to eat, would you like to take it home Fluttershy?”
>You ignore her words, until Fluttershy tugs at you. It’s only now you notice that you’re dressed in your clothes from yesterday minus your shoes, and your clothes appear to have had the blood and piss stains washed out of them. You’d have to find and thank the person… p0ny who did that, it would have been a nightmare walking out in public looking like that.
>”Would you like to go to Twilight’s house? She’ll be able to help you, no doubt.” Fluttershy asks softly.
>You pause for a moment, before nodding. You had nowhere else to go, anyway. If this “Twilight” person was able to help you, then that’s where you would go.
>”Ok then.” Fluttershy grins at you, a sight which warms your heart.
>Redheart coughs. “Remember to let it rest every now and again, the anti-venom’s side effects will last for a few days.”
>Fluttershy nods, before motioning for you to walk out the door. You follow her out of the hospital, walking barefoot behind her, out onto the streets of whatever town this was.
>”This is P0nyville.” Fluttershy says quietly, leading you past unnerving pairs of eyes who stare at you as you walk past. You were used to being quiet and unnoticed, not the centre of attention as you were now.
>Now that you were down on the streets, you could also see that there were indeed unicorns present. Maybe it was magic that brought you into this world?
>”Anyway, this is Twilight’s house.” You come to a stop outside a large tree, with windows embedded in it. Unusual, but not as much as a talking, flying horse.
>Fluttershy knocks lightly on the door, and a purple unicorn answers the door.
>”Oh, hello Fluttershy.”
>”Hello Twilight, may I come in?”
>”I guess so… is there something wrong?”
>”I’ll explain in a moment.”
>Twilight steps back to allow your entrance, and you and Fluttershy move forward into the house. You immediately notice the multitude of books present, ever wall being nearly entirely covered in bookcases.
>”Now, Fluttershy, why did you bring this thing to me?” Twilight asks, pointing a hoof in your direction.
>Fluttershy frowns. “It’s not an “it” Twilight, he can understand us perfectly. He just can’t speak, that’s all.
>”Oh, really? Sorry Mr… Tall Monkey… whatever you are.” Twilight holds out a hoof and you shake it, trying to quell your annoyance at her.
>”Twilight, I need you to get an alphabet out for me”
>”That’s an unusual request, but ok then.” Her horn glows, and a roll of paper gently hovers down from atop on of the bookcases.
>Yup, magic.
>The paper is laid out along the table. You examine it, and your hopes are dashed.
>P0ny writing is apparently a series of unintelligible scribbles. You have no idea what this is saying.
>That rules out writing as a method of communication.
>You sigh and shake your head, rolling the paper back up.
>”What’s wrong, can you not read?” Fluttershy asks nervously.
>You shake your head.
>”Can you just not read Equestrian?”
>You shrug.
>Fluttershy looks down for a second, before returning her gaze to yours. “Does anything match up with your language? Anything look familiar, at all?”
>You roll your eyes and unfold the paper. How the fuck were you meant to decipher this non… wait.
>Fluttershy said this was an alphabet. You could see 26 weird symbols laid out together, in order.
>Maybe… just maybe…
>You snap your fingers, getting Twilight and Fluttershy’s attention. You point to the first “letter” in the list, hoping they’ll understand.
>”A” they both say simultaneously.
>You point to the 14th symbol.
>”N…”
>You point to the next symbol, then back to the previous one.
>”On… A N ON… Anon? Is that your name?”
>You nod furiously, grinning like a madman. The alphabet might look different here, but at it’s core it was identical. You’d just have to learn how to write with it, but you didn’t care about that. Now you had a method of communication!
>”Well “Anon” it’s nice to meet you. Do you mind answering a question for me?”
>You shake your head.
>”What are you, exactly? Just spell out the answer with that alphabet there.”
>You point to the right symbols in succession.
>”H… u… m… a… n… human. Let me go check that.” Twilight turns away and begins looking through a beefy looking book, muttering something under her breath.
>While she does that, you turn back to Fluttershy, and begin spelling out a message to her.
>”T… h… a… n… k… s… it’s nothing Anon, you don’t have to thank me.” Fluttershy blushes slightly as you bend down and hug her lightly, overjoyed that you now had a way to communicate with these p0nies.
>This joy was cut short as Twilight cleared her through.
>”Anon, I have some bad news for you.” She levitates the book over to you, open to a page that was apparently about… humans? There was a picture of a human surrounded by a sea of undecipherable text. You may be able to read some basic things in equestrian now, with the aid of the alphabet Twilight provided, but you sure as hell weren’t reading any novels any time soon.
>Twilight looks you in the eye before speaking. “Humans used to exist in Equestria hundreds of years ago, during the reign of Discord. During that time they were hunted as chaos servants, but when they were almost extinct, p0nies began… p0nies began to keep them as pets, or slaves.”
>You stare at her, horrified at her revelation.
>”Those were dark times though, and no p0ny would dream of doing anything that cruel nowadays!” Twilight says quickly, noticing both your and Fluttershy’s horrified faces. “Anyway, my point was, right up until humans disappeared, they were valued as collector’s items, or exotic pets.”
>You catch onto what Twilight is implying, and a sickly feeling spreads to your stomach.
>”Of course, I doubt any living p0ny even knows what a human is… but be cautious nonetheless. There are still some unscrupulous p0nies who would sell or buy a supposedly extinct creature, for a huge amount of bits.
>You sit down on Twilight’s couch, unable to comprehend her words. The phrase, “out of the frying pan and into the fire” comes to your mind.
>”It’s ok Anonymous, I’ll take of you. You don’t have to worry about a thing.” Fluttershy say softly, hoof on your shoulder.
>Could you trust Fluttershy? How did you know she wasn’t going to sell you off to some asshole with a bottomless wallet?
>Only time would tell.
