One Way Trip

Weird Dream (not important to storyline)

I scanned my surroundings. A solid dream, but I didn’t make it so. My last solid dream was when Discord and Luna Visited me. After some thinking, I tapped a hoof to the non-existent ground and produced a wave of light. Like last time, it went in all directions molding the surrounding area as it went. Except for this time, instead of the private gardens behind Canterlot castle, I had it produce the tree I slept under during the first night I was in  Ponyville. I had also sculpted a beautiful sunset, the sky burning with beautiful colors of red, orange, pink, and yellow with only a few clouds in the sky. I decided to put Ponyville a little further away than it would be in the real world, though I’m not sure why. I sat down to admire my work. Then I felt something. Someone’s here.

“Come on out. I believe it’s quite rude to sneak around someone else’s dream uninvited.” I only knew of two individuals that could enter the dreams of others, but neither of them has a reason to enter my dream right now. Suddenly, I was tackled by a pink blur. “What the-”

“Hey Spirit, it’s me, Pinkie. Remember?” she had me pinned to the ground as she talked at speeds that I didn’t even think were even imaginable. “I’m sad that you left Ponyville without saying goodbye. Not only didn’t I get to throw you a ‘Welcome to Ponyville’ party, but I didn’t get to throw you a farewell party. Where did you go? Are you doing alright? So this is your dream? The scenery is pretty.” by this point, I lost feeling in all four hoofs. “I hope you’ll come back to Ponyville sometime to visit. We didn’t really get the chance to get to know each other-”

“PINKIE PIE!” I shouted in my frustration, shutting her up. Using my magic, I levitated her off me and dropped her off to the side. I would ask her how she entered my dream, but I had a feeling against it. So I asked the next logical question. “Why are you here, in my dream? And answer in a regular, understandable speed please.” I don’t know if something could go wrong in a solid dream if I got a headache, but I didn’t feel like finding out.

She giggled. “To see you silly.”

“Me? You defy the laws of physics and logic to see me? Someone you don’t know anything about except their name?” she nodded her head vigorously. “Look, not to be rude or anything, but unless you can explain yourself better, I’ll have to kick you out. I’ve had a busy day and I would like to get some rest in peace before the next.” Honestly, I think Discord would have been better to receive a visit from in a dream than this. I tapped my hoof and a stand rose from the ground with a red button labeled ‘eject’.

“Oooo…… a button!” she practically teleported to it. “Eject? Would the pony pressing ti be the one that’s ejected?” though I already knew the answer, I decided to be a sarcastic smartass anyway.

“I don’t know,” I kept my eyes on the mass of pure energy in pink pony form. “Let’s find out.” I slammed my hoof on the button and an invisible force sent Pinkie flying into the sky. Before she got too high up, she dematerialized out of the existence of my dream. I sighed as the pressure of stress, due to non-stop dialog, melted away leaving a nice and comfortable blanket of satisfaction in its place. I tapped a hoof to the ground, dematerializing the button form the dream. I tapped a hoof to the ground and a small cloud came down from the sky and rested at the base of the tree, a few inches above the ground.  I’ll just shut down till morning. I climbed onto the cloud and, lying down, closed my eyes.
