Cadance Explains Everything

     Cadance walks into the Crystal Palace’s Dining Room, wearing her usual white robe with purplish, gold linings. The initials, PC, embroidered on it.
     She goes to sit at the head of the table, a plate of blueberry pancakes with lots of whip cream and syrup, plus a bowl of richly imported oats and a glass of orange juice waiting for her by her seat.
     Her husband, Shining Armor, seated across from her, though him not noticing her as he’s too busy playing with their daughter, Flurry Heart.
     Cadance waits patiently for five minutes before finally speaking to him: “Hon? There’s something I need to ask you.”
     Shining Armor looks up from his daughter and towards his wife. “Uh huh, just tell me everything?” Saying sounding his usual happy self.
     She takes a deep breath. “It’s about the dream I just had. I think it may be trying to tell us something.”
     “Hmmm, a dream you say?” Shining says with a more serious tone.
     Cadance nods her head.
     Shining Armor gets up from his chair, walking over to her, holding one of her hooves with his. “I'm sure everything is perfect. Everything is fine.” Shining says comfortably.
     'Everything is perfect? Everything is fine?' “My dream said that same exact thing. Twice I should say.”
     Just now, Shining levitates over to him a small notepad, pen included. “If this is bothering you, just tell me. and I'll write it down for you. I’ll understand if I know what it is.”
     Cadance looked to him then to Flurry, who seems to be making a mess of her breakfast, then back to Shining before taking a long, deep breath.
     “Okay. I’m ready if you are.”

     “And all that, is exactly what happened.”
     “Wow. Well, that certainly seemed like a wild dream.” Shining Armor said as all around him are a bunch of college ruled notebooks, all filled with what Cadance said her dream was like.
     “We should definitely tell somepony else about this. Luna I’m thinking.” Shining makes appear a blank scroll, with quill of course.
     “Oh no hon. The princesses are too busy to deal with this. We instead need to go to Twilight right away.”

     “So wait, say that again!”
     “I’m saying I had a dream. And it was a doozy. You were the main pony in it... along with one of your students. Gallus, I believe is the name.”
     Cadance was in Twilight’s office at the School, explaining to her everything that had happened.
     “It doesn’t make sense. Why would you dream of me?!”
    “I know it doesn’t make sense but, you and Flash were so like, cute together.” Cadance says the last part teenage girlish.
     “Wait, what?!”
     “Like, omigosh Twilight, do you have, like, a bad case of FOMO!”
     “FOMO? I don’t. I don’t know what that means.”
     “Fear of missing out. Like gosh Twily, you are sooooooo adorable.”
     “Oookay,” Twilight brings a notebook and pen to her, “Just tell me everything. Even the minor details.”

“Wow! That truly was a doozy.”
