Chapter ten: Dreams
I don't remember very well what happened. Maybe i just got drunk.
Anyway, i woke up, Mark was watching TV.
"Anything to eat?" I asked
"I dunno, i think there's some cheese under the armchair…" He replied
"I already told you that the cheese doesn't go under the armchair!"
"I'm sorry…"
"Well, let's pick it up before some fucking mouse eat it…"
I got the the armchair, and looked for the cheese. There was just a Coca-Cola cap and 5 dollars.
"Well, at least i found 5 dollars… i'll go get breakfast. What are you gonna do?"
"I dunno…"
"Right... Well, i'll go. Later."
"Later bro!"
I drove to the near shop. Well, actually it's a gas station, but it sells food and drinks too.
I bought some milk and cornflakes. With 5 dollars. it's a cheap shop. Fortunately…
The town changed a lot since i woke up from coma, and only a month passed.
Most of the town now have to deal with criminals, shootouts, illegal races and stuff like that. And almost half of the population left their home, abandoning them. This city is literally dying. I was lucky to not being death. But i wanted to go back to Ponyville, with my friends…
I syntonize the radio to a random AM frequency… and i listened it. The radio was playing "Winter wrap up".
I had to stop for a second. I parked and turned off the engine. That song destroyed my mind for some minutes.
"IS THIS SOME KIND OF SICK JOKE!?" I yelled, inside the car. People could still hear me.
I turned on the engine and i skidded away. I didn't care about signs, i was just running to home.
When i got there, i used the handbrake to stop the car.
Mark got out of the home, he was looking at me, and i was a mix of sad and angry.
"Yo man, what happened?" He asked
"I know it wasn't a dream, they're trying to contact me!"
"Dude… are you drunk again?"
"No i'm not!"
"So are you high?"
"WHAT THE FUCK DUDE! Of course i'm not high!"
"Ok, calm down! What happened?"
"Listen to the radio in my car."
"Ok…"
We both got in, the radio was now playing a remix of "Love is in Bloom"
"You sein' this!?" I said
"Yes, that's Brony X. I always listen to that when i use your car. That radio born some weeks ago as a group project of the university. And it's actually a very followed radio!"
God. I hate when i have some ideas and they're wrong!
"Well, fuck this."
"First off, calm down, you seem pretty upset!"
"Shut up. I'll leave now, i have to think…"
"Ok, don't do shit!"
I looked at him, with the rage literally wrote on my face.
He looked back, nervously smiling.
I thrown the stuff i bought out of the trunk and then i left.
I drove as fast as possible in the abandoned part of the city to reach the sea. When i got at the same place, i think i crashed into a old sign, making it fall. Good thing that sign was just a pole made out of rust, so "Dashie" didn't got any damage to the body.
I stared at the sea. Talking to myself.
"Why was it a dream? I was so happy!"
"It's better if i'm here or if i go back to Ponyville?"
"If i go to Ponyville, what is Mark going to do?"
"And how can i get to Ponyville again?"
After some hours of thinking, i decided to lay down. And i fell asleep.
"Where am i?"
"Hey! You came back!"
I met Rainbow Dash in the dream. What the hell?
"Rainbow!"
We hugged.
"Why did you left? I thought we were friends!" She asked
"I don't know what happened, but i WANT to come back with you! My life sucks here!"
"I'll ask Twilight!"
Suddenly, i heard a seagull.
"What's going on?" She asked
"Don't leave me!" I yelled, trying to catch her hoof, but i was too far.
I woke up. A seagull was flying over me. It was night. And when i fall asleep that it was around 3 PM.
I got to the car and looked at the clock. 9 PM. I slept 6 hours without being really tired. Is it normal? The dream i had was normal?
I got home, Mark was sleeping on the sofa.
I decided to go to bed too, even if i slept for 6 hours in a row…
That dream freaked me out…
