The following is based off of a legit dream that I, Stuffwell had in the summer of 2012!
Chapter 1
It all started when I woke up. We all know how that works, right? When waking up, you find yourself in your bed, sleeping bag, cot, or occasionally the couch. But when I say that I "woke up" I mean that I woke up in a different world! I mean I know when I went to bed, I was sleeping in my bed at home but this was different! See, I don't drink, smoke or do any Tobacco of any sort so it's not like one of those "I got so high that I don't remember last night" sort of situations. This was just one of those things where you know for sure you didn't fall asleep in a strange new place, unless you had been sleep waking like 20,000 miles or something. Anyway, I woke up in this.....old chamber, like something you'd see in a castle! In fact it was a castle! Of course I found that out, later on but, the point is, I woke up in a place that I didn't even expect! And get this, a white talking unicorn with gorgeous purple hair had woke me up! I think she said:
"Darling, wake up! I am in dire need of your assistance and the Princess is in need of a dress!". I stirred, slowly opened my eyes and saw that I was looking up at Rarity, the Element of Generosity, herself! I got up, very much confused about the situation.
"R-Rarity?" I asked, trying to make heads and tails of my predicament. She seemed to be too preoccupied with her work to be wondering how was it I knew her name when we never met! Now as a human, people in the real world would call me a "Brony", a grown-up male fan of the hit show My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic! I'm a Brony and proud of it! So naturally I knew Rarity for her generosity, sewing and amazing fashion design! I surveyed the chamber. It was a stone wall room that looked almost realistic! There was a small fire going in an old fireplace, almost burning out and a single window. There was an old, what looked like a Scottish rug in the middle of the chamber with an old wooden table. And then I saw the one thing, besides Rarity, that seemed out of place, a sewing machine of which Rarity seemed to be fiddling with just before switching it on to sew the fabric she was tending to.
"How is she getting Electricity to get that to work!?" I thought. It just didn't seem to make sense! It was one of the old sewing machines, like the ones that your grandmother more than likely used back in the day! Had I somehow entered some time rift dimension where a bunch of items from the past, present and future had been put into one specific time period but one couldn't tell what time period it was due to the mixture of historical and technical things all in one place in time. It started to sound like something out of Doctor Who!
But then I thought that to be absurd! How would a thing like that happen? Maybe this was a dream? That had to be the only logical explanation! If I remember going to bed in my own bed at home, then that could only mean that I was dreaming and there was always an easy way out of dreams! Just wake up! But this dream seemed to interesting already! Plus I just meet Rarity! I mean….that isn't to say that she's my favorite character out of the show, it's just an awesome thing, you know? To meet one of the mane 6? Rarity seemed to have fixed something on her sewing machine and her horn was glowing. Soon red glasses materialized and levitated toward her muzzle which she soon rested them atop of. Several fabrics where being levitated toward the sewing machine as well.
"Well? Aren't you going to help, Darling?" She asked me. I stood there still a little confused, but I figured it was probably best to help her out. Maybe I could talk to her about the situation. I nodded as Rarity looked up at me from her red glasses. "Hold this fabric while I sew it. We don't want it to touch that filthy floor, now do we?" I nodded again and stood at the side of the table holding the fabric. Rarity started sewing the fabric with an intense look of concentration in her eyes. I waited a few moments for her working rhythm to develop before I asked her anything. But before I could even utter a word, the only door to the chamber had opened and there stood two figures I also knew.
They were both human and both female. One was tall, slender with fair skin. Her hair was long, brown with a gray streak. Her eyes were brown and wore an emerald-green dress, a green sash with gold chains and a gold tiara with an emerald atop her head. I knew her as Queen Elinor, the Queen of DunBroch from Disney and Pixar's Brave! And then there was the other girl, Merida, her daughter who stood behind her. Merida was slender with fair skin like her mother's. her face was round with light freckles, rosy cheeks, blue eyes, long curly red hair and wore a dark teal cotton dress.
"How is the dress coming along?" Queen Elinor asked.
"Ah, your highness! Well it's coming along just fine! I have…" at this point I wasn't paying any attention due to the fact that so much had happened so quickly!
I hardly had time to think and almost speak! I mean I could have spoken, said something earlier, but could ya blame me? I was trying to take everything in! Just what was going on here? Before I pondered any longer, another unicorn had appeared! A purple one! "Hi Rarity! Oh! Excuse me, your highness!" Rarity waved at the purple unicorn while talking to Queen Elinor. The unicorn walked toward me. I knew her as Twilight Sparkle. Now I knew that something weird was going on! Two characters who didn't even belong in the Disney realm were here in the same room with me and two Disney characters!
"Hi, my name is Twilight Sparkle." I grinned back and said: "I-I'm Ty McCain." I'd shake her hoof but….even as a Brony, I wasn't sure if they do that.
"You're not from here, are you?" Twilight asked.
"Well neither are you. You wouldn't mind telling me just what is going on here, do you?" I asked as Rarity and Queen Elinor were still discussing the dress. Merida looked absolutely bored out her mind, as if she never wanted to come here in the first place.
"I'm not sure, exactly! One moment, I'm studying spells at home, the next, I find that I'm in some kind of castle! Now I find that some kind of ceremony is to take place for a Princess and Rarity has agreed to make the dress." I nodded and told Twilight that I know as much as she does about the situation.
"You seem pretty calm for someone who just woke up to this." Twilight pointed out.
I said "I figure that this is a dream. One that I don't want to wake up from just yet." I knew how worried Twilight tends to get. It would be might awkward if I told her that I know about her and her friends and the two other humans in the room. I didn't even know if they'd know anything about television, computers or Internet! What was I talking about? This was a dream and in a dream, you could make anything happen! But I usually just like to sit back and enjoy the show! I liked where this was going.
"We found you asleep in front of your house." Twilight said.
"What?"
"We found you asleep in front of your house."
That didn't seem to make sense to me at all! I mean, I woke up in this very room not too long ago and here I am, talking to Twilight Sparkle and she tells me that I was found in front of my own house?!? What was going on? "If you found me in front of my house…then how'd I end up here?" I asked.
"My friends and I picked you up and carried you to the castle, we didn't want anything to happen to you, so I had Rarity look after you while she sewed."
I nodded and said "Er, thanks!" Really, what WAS I supposed to say? It was kind of hard to respond to. We stood in silence for awhile while Rarity and Queen Elinor were chatting away until it happened.
After they had discussed the dress Queen Elinor asked Merida: "Merida, what do you think, dear?" At that the sixteen-year-old replied:
"What do I think? What do I think? W-why are you doing this to me, mum? W-why do I have go through all this mess? I don't want to go through all this! It's not fair! I just don't understand…" she went on and on about how she didn't want to a part of it all! I just stood there all chill and I looked toward Twilight who had this look on her face. One of which I've seen before! She suspected something was up! I looked back at Merida and Queen Elinor and watched as Elnior grabbed Merida and lead her out of the room "Excuse us, ladies and er…sir" she said as she addressed us all.
"Well that was rather rude!" Rarity said as she turned back to her work. I looked back at Twilight who still had that look on her face. Something told me that she suspected something!
