//------------------------------// // Equestria- Train Chat // Story: Unicorns, Pegasi, Earth Ponies and Thracians // by Lightrise //------------------------------// When me and my brother, Guardian pay a visit to the human world last summer, something happened in Equestria. As I said, it's summer, so the schools will have a 104 day holidays, and that included Twilight's SOF, or I can say, School of Friendship. Normally most of the students will stay in Ponyville because they live there, including Sandbar, but the rest will aboard the train to their homes. Smolder and Gallus were the last ones on the train. Gallus was sleeping by the window, carrying a bag that fill with some stuff. While Smolder smugly order food to the pony who serves snacks. "Yeah, and I want the most luxurious gem... s, and don't worry, I may, or may not pay for it." Smiled Smolder. "Uh, Smolder, we don't serve gems. Yet." "Just give me some cupcakes. In secret." "How am I supposed to give you something in secret?" " Make sure no creature saw the cupcake, Ok?" The pony nodded, then get a box that labeled " Meat" and put the cupcake with pink frosting and rainbow sprinkles inside, that hand to Smolder. Smolder was satisfied, and the pony gave her the bill. "Your payment." Smolder rolled her eyes, and gave some money and tips to the pony. After the pony left, Gallus let out a yawn, then woke up. "Where's Yona?" he asked. "She already arrived at Yakyakistan fifteen minutes ago. You are taking a nap." Said Smolder, as she noticed the bag that Gallus is carrying." What did you have there?" "Student of the season award, plus a photo." Gallus boasts to Smolder with pride. "Wait... didn't I mention that?" "No, by the way, congratulations!" said Smolder. The student of the season award is something that Starlight set up this spring, as she is the principal now. The student of the season award is to see which student behaved well in spring, autumn or winter. The award was not publicly announced, because Trixie wants it to be mysterious for some reason. Since it was set up this spring, Gallus was the first one to recieve the award. Sunburst takes a photo of him, and Starlight gave him the trophy. Starlight said that the trophy making company was from Manehattan, and that company always put his boss's cutie mark on the trophy and whenever they give free stickers. The cutie mark is a golden horseshoe with two white-colored wings, since the boss was a pegasi. Gallus suddenly realized something. One of his friends has the same cutie mark as the boss, whatever his name is. "Coincidence?" He asked himself. Suddenly, he saw his angel and demon poof out and said "I think not!". Then they disappeared. He take out something from the bag, and it was two silver medals and a group photo. The two silver medals are from the Feats of Friendship, a competition organized by Twilight before she left to became a princess. The Young Six are in second place because they had an argument between the competition, but meh, they can won the gold medal next spring anyways. Actually, there are seven of them who get second place. Not just them, but a mysterious earth pony, Swift Foot. But when the medal was supposed to given to her, Twilight informed them she disappeared somehow. They tried to connect with her, but she has lost signal. All that she left behind, is her medal. Gallus examined the group photo to check Swift Foot's cutie mark, but she was right in front of the camera, without her flank being shown. "Weird," murmured Gallus. Has nothing to do for now, Gallus takes out his " How to learn Yak language 101" guidebook. After promising Yona that they will work more harder than ever to learn her language, he bought a book from a yak merchant who only speaks yak. Nowadays, he can say basic words. Think about it, the reason why Gallus argue because he thought he is a leader and his friends don't appreciate him, so he instead being a jerk to every creature. Gallus sighed. "Although I am clearly a leader, obviously for a reason, I shouldn't be a jerk!" He thought. "Plus, they are my friends, not my subjects." After giving up on the cutie mark problem, he practice some yak sentences. "You have arrived at Griffonstone. I repeat,You have arrived at Griffonstone." The announcer suddenly spoke. Gallus look outside the window, and yes, they are near the Griffonstone station. "Yak, yakkie yak yak york, yakie yak yik ( Oh come on, I haven't finished my sentences, the train had already arrived at the station)," Gallus said. He takes his bag, ready for his depature. He wave hands to Smolder before leaving, and said: "See you next summer, buddy." "You too, bro." They hugged each other, then after Gallus step off the train, the train left for the Dragonlands. Take a deep breath... exhale. Next stop, home. Grandpa Gruff was satisfied to see Gallus's award, and he hang the medal, his photo and his trophy onto a almost-creaked cupboard. Grandpa Gruff said:"Now, kid, hand me the other medal and the group photo." Gallus think about it for a second. "Nah, I'll put those in my room." He said as he flew away to the basement. The basement is a cranky, old room filled with hays (his bed) and a ground filled with rocks. Gallus puts Swift's medal and the group photo onto a rock, and take a nap onto the hay piles after that. His eyes gently closed... "Hello, my student. Long time no see." A voice boomed over Gallus's ears, causing him to wake up. "What... Where am I?" Gallus was surprised, until he saw he was no longer in a room, but a place filled with doors and lights, and it seems like the doors are infinite. "Over here." The voice gently said, and as Gallus turn right, he saw... "Princess Twilight, what ever are you...wait, is this...the dream realm? Am I dreaming?" "You are sleeping, but you are not dreaming." Twilight said."I summon you to the dream realm for a reason, although you were napping." "And why is that?" Gallus asked."Ooh, that rhymes." "I'M BORED..." Twilight smiled bitterly."Except for Spike, I don't have companion to have fun with me. My friends are working, so I figured since you are napping, why don't we explore the dream realm together? I mean, there are also creatures who are asleep. I'm free." "Ok...Wait hold on!" Gallus suddenly think of something, then ask Twilight a question:"Can I go into Swift Foot's dream?" "Swift Foot?" Twilight thought for a moment, then replied:"You can, you just need to find the door that has her cutie mark. I'm also wondering what is she doing, because I haven't seen her for months." Soon, they found the door, with her cutie mark printed on it, as they opened it, they saw... "Nothing?" Gallus asked, as the door behind it was just a white blank room. "Swift Foot probably didn't take her nap. Weird." Concluded Twilight, as they walked around the room. Suddenly, as if she heard something, she frowned. "Oh shucks. Really Spike? REALLY?" asked Twilight. Suddenly, Gallus heard something. "Gallus! Woke up dude, dinner's ready!" Gilda's voice spread over his ears. "I need to go, Gallus. Apparently SOMEONE broke my favorite bookshelf and I need to fixed it. It's nice to have you in the dream realm." "No problem, Twilight. I can visit here anytime, as long as I'm asleep without a dream. Gilda called me for dinner anyways." With Twilight's horn glowed, Gallus soon found himself laying on the hay pile. Alright, time for dinner. "Griffonscones, AGAIN?" Grandpa Gruff complained. "What?! They are the only one I could cook!" Complained Gilda. "Then learn a new recipe!" "Ok stop fighting guys...these griffonscones are delicious!" Cried Gabby with joy. "I know right," Gavin, a younger griffon said."Tuck in, the scones are getting cold!" Gallus silently look at them while eating a griffonscone, he felt that eventhough they are not truly his biological family, they felt like one. When the clock strikes ten, Gallus went down the basement. As the moonlight shines through a window and the room, he never felt so peaceful and safe. He tucked himself into the hay pile, and after he said: "Goodnight me," he fell asleep. Suddenly, his angel and his demon appeared. "Should I tell him or should you?" Asked Angel Gallus. "Don't worry, he will find out soon." Smiled Demon Gallus. Suddenly, the bushes outside the window glowed red eyes. "Time for the invasion,my fellow Thracians." A voice boomed.
