//------------------------------// // The dream comes true // Story: Equestrian Dreams // by Falconwolf1116 //------------------------------// I woke with a start sweating water buckets. Wait, literal water buckets?! I looked at myself and realized I was a transparent blue kind of like the holograms in Star Wars. I touched myself, I could still feel me. I touched the ground, I felt it. I touched an apple tree, I went right through it. Wait, there aren't apple trees where I live! I looked behind me and saw where I was. "Sweet Mother of Celestia!" I said to myself. There right in front of me was Ponyville. I saw everything. From the Friendship Castle to Sugar Cube Corner. "Woah!" I thought. This had to be a dream though. This only happens in Fanfics and besides i can only touch the ground (Thank god) and myself. I can only hope that nopony can see me. "What in tarnation is that thang?!" I heard a woman with a western accent say. Well crap. I spotted her and our eyesight connected. It was Applejack. I did the only thing I could. "GOTTA RUN!!!" I yelled. Smooth Brian, real smooth. I ran as quickly as I could away from the orange Earth pony. She bucked apples at me but with luck on my side, they passed right through me. I found myself running toward town. Unfortunately for me, everypony saw me. I kept running but I realized I wasn't getting tired. "Oh yeah this is just a dream." I said aloud. Applejack must've heard because she stopped in place. So did I. "What the hay are you?" she asked. I replied with, "I'm human. My name is Brian and I must say, this dream has started out very unpleasant for me!" You readers have to admit it, that was pretty rude to start kicking apples at someone! Write in the comments what you think. "Dream, what dream? This is reality!" she yelled at me. I then realized what was going on. I may be dreaming, but they are real. My dreamscape form is in the real Equestria! I would've squee'd but that would be very embarrassing. "I'm sorry where are my manners? I just ran through town like an idiot!" I told them all. "I understand if you haven't seen anyone -er- anypony like me before. I just want to learn as much as I can of this world before I wake up." "Ah understand." said AJ. "It will take a while for these ponies to understand what and who ya are." I smiled at her. All I felt towards her is happiness and pride. I tried to hug her and tell her thank you but when I tried, I just fell right through her. I chuckled before I spoke, "Oh right, heh, I'm in the mindscape." * * * "AJ, where are we going?" I asked her. "We're goin ta see a friend of mine." she told me. "She studies other dimensions." "Is her name by any chance, Twilight Sparkle?" I asked mockingly. She stared at me. "How in the hay did you know that and her full name?!" She asked me. "Never mind it right now ok? We'll see Twilight and find out how to send you back!" "Um I should mention that technically I'm not here. I'm sort of like a hologram or something." I told her. "It don't matter all right?!" she yelled. I was starting to get on her bad side. Despite not legitimately being on Equestria, if I ever did, my dream come true would end up as a never-ending void of pain. "Sorry AJ." I told her. "It's alright, urm, Brian was it?" she asked. I nodded. "Sorry we don't exactly have names like that here sugarcube. Ah mean, we have Spike but that's pretty much it." I nodded to show her I got the message. "Also, sorry for getting off on the wrong foot-er-hoof Applejack." "No problem Bri." she replied. No ones called me that in forever!!! We arrived at Twilight's castle 10 minutes later (most akward 10 minutes of my life!). I checked my watch, "6:50 on my world." I told Applejack. "Shouldn't you humans be gettin ta school right now?" she asked. Before I could answer, Spike opened the door. "Oh hey Applejack and-" he stared at me. I had no idea if he was going to dragon rage all over me but it wouldn't matter considering I was invulnerable. Instead he moved out of the way and allowed me to come in. To be honest, he didn't seem as suprised as I thought he would be. That tells me he's used to this stuff by now. Once we were inside, we walked for awhile through many twists and turns until we made it to the map room. Twilight was working on an experiment that deals with matter. "Twi you have visitors." said Spike. Twilight turned around revealing some sort of energy orb in her hooves. "Hey AJ what's up?" She asked "This is." she replied. I reviled myself and Twilight screamed at the sight of me. "What's wrong?" I asked. "Your face!!!" she screamed. Wow the Princess of Friendship telling me I'm ugly. What's next? "Wow jeez nice to meet you too." I exclaimed. "No you're not ugly, you have a broken tooth and a purple eye!" she told me. Oh yeah my injuries from my fight. Forgot about that. "Also, why do you look like a ghost? And who are you?" she asked. "I have a perfectly logical explanation for this Twilight." I told her. I started with the show about them (that answered AJ's question from earlier.), the school, the fight, my friends, the principal's office, and my speech. I recited the entire speech and I must admit it, it inspired not only them but me! "Incredible!" yelled Twilight. I smiled at her. That's when I noticed my arm. It. Was. Fading! "I must be waking up." I told them. "I'll try and come back tomorrow ok?" "Sure thing partner!" said Applejack. I then felt a burst of warmth. I may have not learned more about Equestria, but I have made more friends. I woke with a start. But I had a huge grin on my face because of the happiness I felt not just in me, but in my heart.
