//------------------------------// // First Impressions II and Strange Dreams // Story: My Roommate is a pony? // by Meh121 //------------------------------// 'Hah yea right like I can sleep, there is so much to do here. It's amazing how a land full of talking ponies can do so much.' I thought remembering , all the things I have seen. 'Okay maybe I could use a little sleep.' I thought closing my eyes. "I like your colt friend he seems nice." Twilight's mother said to her with a smile. "He is nice we've had our ups and downs, but our love is to strong to be ended by silly things." Twilight said with a sly smile on her face. "Do you know what he wants to do with himself?" Twilight's father asked looking up from the paper. "He said he wants to be a police officer, but I think he is really studying for the FBI." Twilight said. "FBI?" They asked. "Federal Bureau of Investigation, they deal with huge drug dealers, terrorist, they work to defend the people." Twilight said. "Drug dealers?" They both asked again. "You know what never mind this story could go on forever." Twilight sighed. "Ok I still can't sleep, maybe a walk would do." I said looking at the window. I stood up from the bed, I tried to be as silent as possible and hoped out of the window, it was nice and cold. I looked around and saw nopony was out around here, I couldn't really tell if it was strange or not. The air was still crisp I could feel every breath hit my lungs, it felt great the air was so clean. I looked over and saw a park, I noticed there were two little ponies trying to get something out of a tree. I walked over my footsteps molding with the snow. The soft crunches sounded relaxing, I stopped and saw that a winter hat was stuck in the tree. I looked down at the two before I spoke. "May I?" I asked. They both nodded, I tried to jump and get the hat but no luck. I sighed before I took off my sweatshirt and let it fall in the soft white snow, I grabbed onto one of the larger branches making sure it was secure. I pulled myself up and grabbed hold of another, I stood with my back against the trunk of the tree. I looked up and grabbed the hat before tossing it down to the kids. I slid down the tree slowly. only to get a bit of my hand sliced open by a strange looking branch. 'Shit.' I thought instead of saying out loud in front of the little colts, in reaction to the pain. "Thanks mister." The young black colored colt said, he put the hat over his white mane and smiled. I tipped by ball cap down to show a silent you're welcome. They both ran off before I laid down and looked up at the clouds. I wrapped my hand up to stop the bleeding with my scarf. I started to close my eyes, and before I knew it I was asleep. The funny thing is I knew I was asleep, but I couldn't wake up no matter how hard I tried, I stayed asleep. It was strange I could see all white and before I knew it I was just sitting there, in the empty space it felt relaxing. I wondered why I was in this spot, it was chilling but so relaxing. 'The light it is so beautiful.' I thought. My thoughts were interrupted as I heard voices. "It's so lovely this time of year." Cadence said looking all around. "It certainly is." Shining Armor said. "Oh wow my hand." I said looking at it, the blood was gushing out. I quickly ran back to the house, it seemed every second I ran the blood gushed out more. 'Damn the so called bandage is not holding to well now.' I thought, my vision clouded from the amount of blood loss. I stumbled into the front door of the house, barley hitting the handle and opened the door. "Um hello?" I heard a voice ask. I looked and saw hoofs before my face and noticed they were Twilight's. I looked up and before I knew it, the whole thing ended and I woke up in Twilight's bed. I was in a cold sweat and gasping for breath. "Dat nightmare." I said with a chuckle. 'But wait you don't feel pain when dreaming, unless I wasn't dreaming but I was.' I thought before laughing. I slowly stood up cracking a few of my joints, and smiled with great relief that the nap did me some good. 'Although it is strange it's about the fourth nightmare, but it really wasn't scary hmm.' I thought before I heard hoofsteps. I slipped on my shoes and looked at the door. I saw Twilight slowly push the door open, and look in before she screamed seeing me right at the edge of the bed. "Ahhh what they hay, you could have warned me before I opened the door." Twilight said. I just chuckled before she used her magic and pulled me down off the bed by the ear. "Errr Mehhh Gerddd what are you doing, stahp stahp Twilight." I begged but she kept pulling me until we were half way down the stairs. "Look my brother and his wife are here, not to mention she is a princess." Twilight whispered in my ear. "Oh please I got this." I said as I walked down the stairs I fell face down, the stairs taking a few pictures with me. I saw a rush of hooves in front of me and looked up and saw Twilight giggling. "At least I went down with a crash." I said looking up before I saw a few chuckles. I stood up and brushed myself off before I saw a few giggles, and chuckles. I gave off a nervous blush 'Hmm I was on the floor kinda like the nightmare, kinda strange.' I thought. "Well then how is that for a first impression?" I asked looking at the smiling faces. "I thought it was kinda cute, that your coltfriend did that." The pink one said giggling. "He sure is strange, but I like him." Her brother said with a smile. "The name is Tyler, and yeah normally I'm not so derpy." I said with a slight smile. "This is my wife Princess Cadence, and my name is Shining Armor." Shining Armor said sticking out a hoof, that I gladly took out and shook. "The pleasure is all mine your majesty." I said bowing and kissing Cadence's hoof. She blushed a bit. I stood up again before I got a few looks. "So then let's get down to business, Twilight and you were requested to meet with Celestia." Shining Armor said breaking the awkward silence. 'Oh novoes the cigarettes.' I said picturing an image of Celestia smoking a cigarette. "Let me grab my things." I said, before I took off upstairs.
