//------------------------------// // To Zecora's Hut We Go With Magic In The Air // Story: Colliding Dream Worlds // by migzie //------------------------------// It was mid afternoon, closer to the evening. The sun laid low. The view passing through the woods was still clear. The birds were still chirping. Squirrels and chipmunks were arguing about who stole whose pile of nuts that each needed to feed their families with for dinner. “I know where we’re going. We’re not lost!” Rainbow Dash starts to get frustrated. “I was just at Zecora’s Hut a few days ago!” “Ah sure hope so, R.D.!” Apple Jack says to her friend. “Rarity will kill ya enough for the both of us if Ah don’t show up for dinner. Then again, Ah don’t actually mind. It’s with her parents and all.” Pinkie Pie and Dash start laughing at her. “See!? We just have to follow this yellow brick road!” Dash points out! Pinkie breaks into song. “We're off to see the wizard, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz We hear he is a whiz of a wiz, if ever a wiz there was If ever, oh ever a wiz there was, The Wizard of Oz is one because Because, because, because, because, because Because of the wonderful things he does We're off to see the wizard, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz” “We’re off ta see Zecora…” Apple Jack starts to state. Pinkie corrects her song. “We’re off to see Zecora, the wonderful wizard in her hut…” “Uhhh, Pinks?” Dash hovers and scratches the back of her neck. “Pleeeeeeeeeeease stop!” Everyone starts to laugh again. ******* “Ah, reckon we’re here cause Ah recall this place.” says Apple Jack immediately shutting her mouth as the hut’s door slowly creeps open. “Why, hello there, you three… why, may I ask, have you come to seek me?” Zecora steps outside of her home. Rainbow Dash speaks up. “We need your help…” She started and ends with “And that is why we came here. To ask you to join our mission and provide more sleeping antidotes for X amount of people, once we get the team formatted.” “I see the trouble you did just convey… I shall help you without a delay. You're asking me to do an Inception Conquest... I hope you do understand the gravity of this request. ” Zecora motions the trio to follow her through a tree. It didn’t faze Pinkie one bit, but got the other two slightly hesitant. “We need a higher dosage potion for this upcoming day… which means we cannot act like children at play.” “What does this all here mean?” questions Apple Jack. “I think she’s about to show us what she means, silly willy!” Pinkie whispered to Apple Jack as they all walked into an invisible room that showed people asleep on cots. “We all will need totems in our pockets… so we will know our brains are in the right sockets.” Zecora clarifies what a totem is and lists other things they needed to know (like, the timing of dreams) and what to bring with them or what to expect. And after all the explaining, Apple Jack was still confused. “What is the question calculating in your mind? I am sure we can give you an answer more refined.” “Ah still don’t understand why people come here just ta sleep…” Apple Jack confesses as to why she’s still disoriented about everything. She sees Zecora looking at Dash as if she knew Dash figured it out. “R.D.? Ya know why!?” In a hushed voice Dash answers. “They don’t come here to sleep…” A realization hit Pinkie Pie and finished Dash’s sentence in the same hushed voice. “They come to be woken up. The dream has become their reality.” “Down here, you all have gotten everything you needed to learn… I am most certain we will accomplish what we have to and not crash and burn.” Zecora takes them back out through the tree after an hour’s worth of observation. The three friends said their goodbyes to Zecora who promised to work on the newer potion and meet with everyone at Apple Jack’s Farm for lunch tomorrow to have the next meeting. ******* Twilight Sparkle sits down, next to a basket of food, on a red and white squared picnic table cloth waiting for Trixie to come back. Trixie said she accidently left something in the car. She sips her White Zinfandel and patiently waits. Instead of an upscale restaurant with lots of lights and a traffic of commotion from over populated crowds, Twilight decided to copy a date that Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy often went on to gaze up at the stars. After going through the last couple of days, she needed relaxation. Though, she had one more thing to do before she could completely relax with the company before her. She had to somehow bring up the Inception Concept. Trixie skips her way back towards Twilight. She is nervous but holds a smile anyway. She senses something cranking a wheel in her friend’s head and hopes to all the gods and goddesses out there that it doesn’t ruin what she, herself, had planned for tonight. The horn on Trixie’s head starts to glow pushing the basket off the sheet they were to sit on and plants herself next to Twilight. She felt a warm tingly feeling as an arm wraps around her waist. “We can play connect the dots with these stars!” Trixie says to Twilight. “Oooo! What a great idea!” Twilight exclaims back. Her horn lit up and shot a light into the air. She connected a set of stars into a flower. “Twilight, I need to talk to you…” Trixie says in a serious tone. “Are you still… ummm… seeing that guy from that one library… uhhh… in I don’t remember which town?” “No, I am not. The only person I’ve been seeing is you actually.” Twilight informs her shaking friend. “Why do you ask?” Trixie suddenly stops shaking and asks Twilight a question. “Do you know what it is to be a lover? Half of a whole?” A box appeared in front of Twilight. A ring polished and placed carefully in it waiting to be seen. It was unwrapping itself. Trixie whispers in Twilight’s ear. “Be mine. Trixie is already yours.” Twilight didn’t know whether or not she appeared to be shaking or frozen still. Inside her body she was going crazy. She was speechless. She was mute. All she could do right then and there was lean over and kiss Trixie with all the passion she can stream through her body. Eventually the kissing ceased to sporadic mini ones. They were intertwined and laying down, still gazing at the stars. Every few minutes or so, one of their horns would light up and draw a picture from the clumps of stars scattered above them. “You seemed out of sorts earlier, Twilight Sparkle. What’s going on in that pretty little, okay, big, mind of yours?” Trixie breaks away from what they are doing for a brief instant. “I don’t want to ruin this moment. But, it involves the Princesses and a few other Kingdoms… and I need your help and support… I unfortunately have to depart from you in an hour or so… may, I fill you in more in the morning?” “Of course… Anywhere you go, I’ll follow you. I will try never to fail you.” Trixie says to her established official lover. Twilight gives Trixie a kiss. “You are my Great & Powerful Trixie, after all… no one else’s. I believe in you.” Trixie starts to pout because she thought she was going to be bringing Twilight back home with her. She starts to grin as another kiss hit her lips and she had an idea. Even Twilight saw the naughtiness in the gleam of Trixie’s eyes as her horn lit up. Soon there was a sphere bubble that formed and sound proofed around them. To the outside, looking in? Folks would just see a tree that had picnic settings that people probably forgot to take with them and regular night noise flowed in the air. Clothes were immediately ripped off. Love making squeals compete with each other seeing which can break its sound barricade first. A few minutes before saying goodbye, yearning for a stable breathing pattern, Twilight says to her love. “I’ll tell you a riddle.” “I love riddles.” Trixie responds with the same gasping noise between breaths as Twilight. “You're waiting for a train. A train that will take you far away. You know where you hope this train will take you; but you don't know for sure. But it doesn't matter. How can it not matter to you where that train will take you?” Twilight riddles Trixie with a grin. After a thinking pause, a reply sprouted out “Because we'll be together.” Trixie kisses Twilight a final goodnight.
