Speaking of which, where in God’s name is here?” >Purplebitch recoils slightly at your response of “human”, and quickly runs off in another room >”So what were ya dreamin’ about? You thrashed around a lot,” an orange pony in a cowboy hat drawls at you. >”Nothing, just a bad dream.

Oh yeah... >”... and I’ll only untie you if you promise not to run away.” >It’s not like you can run away from magic or pegasi, you don’t know your surroundings, and they ARE treating you with at least more civility then you gave them. >”On my honor as a soldier, I promise.” >Pinkie Pie practically tackles you at this and yells, “Then we need to throw a party for you! No one’s ever even heard of a human before! Do you like parties?” >Is she on coke? >Between the tackle and the rapid-fire sentences, all you can get out is, “Umm... yeah?” >At this Pinkie takes off faster than you thought any living being could move. >”What was that?” you mutter as you pick yourself off the floor, with a little help from Applejack. >”She’s just excited she got ‘nother party ta throw for somepony,” Applejack says, as if partying is Pinkie’s sole purpose for living. >”That’s Pinkie for you,” Twilight matter-of-factly says. >”Well, I’d better start my research. I’ll have Spike and the girls show you around town.” >Spike? Must be a dog. Probably some kind of pit bull that straight eats intruders. >Turns out Spikes a baby dragon. Dragonofanykind=awesome. >Get weird stares all day, but it’s not like you weren’t ogled before because you were a vet. >Ends the day with a wonderful party, all celebrating you just being... you. >It’s weird,  no one besides your parents and buddies from your unit ever did anything like this for you. >Maybe... maybe this won’t be such a bad thing. > Worn out, you follow Spike back to Twilght’s house, and not caring it’s far too small, you plop down on her couch. >Sleep finds you quickly.
