Rubbing my face with my hooves slowly; one eye cracked open. Looking around the sky was blue and there were no clouds; infact what he was laying on he could not identify. It was slightly moist but very fluffy and felt weightless laying there. A flutter of wings roused him from his stupor as his what Blueprint guessed was cloud moved and wobbled slightly adjusting to the pressure change. Looking around there were not one but two other colts forming a triangle waiting for him to rise. One a earth pony and one a pegasi. They were sitting patiently waiting for Blueprint to rise from his stupor. The grogginess slowly melting away and resisding in his his joints.
"Welcome" They said in unison one voice slightly higher than the other while the next was a deeper voice.
"Where am I?" He asked slowly still rubbing his temple
"We are in your mind" They once again spoke in unison.
"Who are both of you?" He blurted out taking a seat by plopping his plot down on the cloud.
"We. Are. You. We represent the best traits of you; essentially we make up you up with the inclusion of the physical form of you" They said in time with each other
"I am a unicorn though" He spoke softly genuinly confused before he realized there subtle differences between himself and himselves?
"We know" They said.
He didnt speak just watched the two colts. The pegasi seemed to be slightly slow cognativly but seemed to understand flying fairly well as the colt stretched his wings out flapping them testingly and then clopping his hooves together a spread of glee on his face. Blueprint understood what they represented. The pegasi was mentally a little bit slow and seemed to be almost child like in his emotions and simplicity. Granted they were colts, but it was obvious.
The earth colt however wore a set of spectacles on his snout but looked mildly depressed but highly intelligent and out of place. He was out of place but seemed to have a softer side too him. He gave a soft sigh and laid down placing his hooves underhim and resting his muzzle against the cloud closing his eyes peacefully. He was more mature beyond his years; something clicked in Blueprints brain.
So one of them is extremely intelligent and the other is not so. Blueprint thought trying not to be obvious about watching them while they waited for Blueprint to give a reply
"You say you both make me, me?" Blueprint asked tenativly with a questioning gaze.
"Yes" They said. The earth pony said with a sigh with a mild annoyed tone. The pegasi said it with enthusiasm and excitement.
"If i am the physical portion of all three of us; then why am i here?" He looked between them.
All of a sudden a soft female voice spoke quietly as she appeared in the center of the triangle.
"You are here, Blueprint, because your body is recovering in the real world and this is a place you can be whenever you need to heal." She spoke with a smile.
As if reading Blueprint's mind she answered his next question.
"Yes, I am also part of you. If i wasnt you would not be so...How would you say, emotional" She gave a giggle.
"You will not be here much longer, little one" She said rising looking very much like a mother speaking to her own foal with a soft calming voice that Blueprint enjoyed causing him to close his eyes and feel the breeze around him.
The pegasi rose and dove off the cloud Blueprint could hear him screaming with joy at flight. So simple the pegasi was. The earth pony looked puzzled and simply trotted down the banks of clouds that made a makeshift staircase. Thus left Blueprint with the emotions pony.
Blueprint had no idea his mind was capable of such wonders. He would have to consult. Celes.....Mom or Auntie Luna on this matter.
"I think it is time you go back" She said softly and touched his horn a soft white spark of magic transpiring between them. "I am glad you could find yourself completley, embrace it".
With that Blueprint began to fall down through the clouds a blinding torrent of white fluffly clouds rushing past him as his eyes began to feel heavy and hooves splayed out infront of him. Blinking slowly eyes getting heavier; the sound of air rushing past his ears as he picked up speed too tired to do anything but enjoy the feeling; his joints and limbs felt heavier the further away he got from the cloud a small smile on his face for feeling serene and perfectly calm, exaughsted.
The emotions pony jumped after Blueprint, going into a headlong dive keeping her hooves close to herself as she sped to catch up to him. The air whipped her mane back and tail straight; tears forming and being whipped away by the increasing speed of her fall. She was reluctant to let him go so easily but there were consequences for staying here too long and it would pain her too much to keep him here longer.
The earth pony watched them fall with dry amusment on the verge of boredom. His higher than average IQ made many things boring for him. Adjusting his glasses he continued to watch. Just being an earth pony had its disadvantages however; he was an engineer but sadly without a unicorn assistant many of his plans and drawns would never had come to fruition.
The emotional pony caught up with Blueprint and touched his head again softly, her warm hoof caressing his cheek looking into Blueprint's sapphire blue eyes.
"Sleep and go back to your own world, we will speak again. Remember to not loose yourself" She said softly into his ear giving his cheek a gentle kiss to send him off.
Blueprint lost conciousness in his dream constructed world just before hitting the beckoning green earth below.
