Sunset's dream flashed into existence around me as I stepped through the silvery portal.
Blinking I looked around. I was in a school with humans teenagers hanging about.
I know this place. This is the school where I recovered Sunset. It didn’t take long to spot Sunset herself. She was standing by one of the lockers and amusingly was a pony in the black leather jacket.
Grinning I trotted over to her before I tapped my hoof against the floor, solidifying the dream.
Sunset blinked as she became fully aware instead of following the script of the dream.
“Looking good there Sunny,” I said with a grin, “Is that cow you're wearing?”
“Faux leather,” Sunset admitted and then looked at her jacket, “How does this even fit?”
“Dreams,” I answered and shrugged my wings, “Don’t think about it too hard.”
She frowned and then looked at me, “So are we going?”
“Depends. Are you going like that?”
“Can’t wait to get me naked can you?” she teased and pulled the jacket off, “Been a while since I was here,”
I nodded, “Yeah. Miss it?”
“…At times,” she nodded with a small sigh, “Just small things from time to time. TV was great and the internet was amazing. Twi would have gone nuts over it if she had time to look at it when she was there.”
I cringed “Let’s not tell her about it or she’ll try to make a permanent portal and that wouldn’t be good for anypony.”
“Likely not,” Sunset agreed and then looked at me, “You know more of this stuff than me, can you download the internet? You could pop over and get a computer and then return.”
“Nope,” I said, “Maybe Wikipedia but not the internet. Come on, ready to go?”
Sunset nodded and then hesitated, “So how do we do this?”
“Like this,” I said and brought up a silvery portal before us, “Just stick close okay? Getting lost would be bad.”
“What if I wake up?”
“You’d just wake up,” I reassured her, “At least as long as I know where you are. Like I said, getting lost would be bad.”
“Noted,” she agreed and moved a bit closer, “Just walk through?”
“Just walk through,” I confirmed and put my wing across her back, “And don’t look too closely. Luna said that this next part can be disorienting to non-dreamwalkers, especially non-alicorns.”
Sunset nodded, “Should I just keep my eyes closed?”
“No, you should be fine. Just don’t try to follow the lights,” I said and lead her through the portal.
The space between dreams appeared and Sunset gasped and tensed beneath my wing, “So many lights!”
“Don’t look too closely Sunny,” I reminded her and quickly brought up Twilight's dream portal.
Calm blue and silvery. A calm little dream which was good. At least it wasn’t pink and a Nightmare would have been even worse.
“This way,” I said and pulled a slightly distracted Sunset through it.
Canterlot Royal Library. I’m so surprised. This is my surprised face. Twilight you are anything if not predictable.
Sunset blinked and started to drift off as she got caught up into the script of the dream. Well, that won’t do at all, they’ll end up reading a book with ever changing words all night.
Trotting around behind her, it only took a couple of moments to find Twilight, she was curled up with the worlds biggest book in front of a fireplace I really don’t remember being there .
And there we go, both ponies here.
I tapped my hoof against the marble floor and stabilized the dream around us, pulling them both into the realm of the thinking.
Sunset blinked in surprise “Library.”
Twilight looked around before she smiled, “Page… wait, Sunset!?”
Sunny grinned and trotted over, “Surprise Twi,” she said and captured the alicorn in a kiss before she nuzzled, “Page volunteered to bring me over to your dream tonight. We don’t see each other that often.”
Twilight stood up, her wings flapping happily as she grinned, “That’s amazing!” before she rushed over to hug me, “Thank you!”
I gave her a quick hug back, “You’re welcome but it has some drawbacks. I have to stick around in case something wake you because unless I'm here Sunset could become lost and that would be bad.”
Twilight pulled back and looked between me and Sunset, “Is this dangerous? Page, if this is dangerous get Sunset back to her own dream!”
“It’s not,” Sunset quickly said and moved up to her, “Right, Page?”
“It’s not,” I agreed, “I just need to stay here until Sunny want to go back.”
Sunset nodded, “See?”
“…Very well,” Twilight agreed and then smiled as she nuzzled at Sunset, “I missed you.”
“Missed you too.”
And that’s my cue to butt out as much as I can.
