Your Second Dream

You are asleep again. It wasn't too long ago you just woke up. Why are you asleep again? It's probably because you stayed up really late last night rewatching your favorite episodes. Which one were you on when you fell asleep? You can't remember. What you do remember is that it was 2 days before the newest episode came out. It was Hearts and Hooves Day right? The story that seems more like a shipper than something a real episode would be.

Ah, here we are. Dreamland. But something was different. The colors were dimmed. Your world is more dull now. You then realize what you've been doing the whole time. You've been thinking! Usually, when you dream, your mind takes you where it wants. But right now, it's as if you are in the dream! You are making movements on your own accord! Wow! Could this explain how you got to Ponyville?

Suddenly, gloomy clouds covered the sky. Your vision was getting darker. You look around, trying to find the source, but to no avail. The darkness consumes you and you are standing there, unable to see anything.

"Hello, human." A single red eye shot open from the darkness not ten feet from you, blood red light illuminating the area around it. The scene made your heart leap from your chest. "I've been waiting for you."

The last thing you saw was the eye lurch forward and you feel your body fall to the ground. Now, you are falling. Falling and spinning. What always happens during a nightmare, but this time, you are living it.

You look at your arm. A dark substance was consuming it and it was slowly climbing to your face. Your arm was dead black, as was your other limbs. You flailed, trying to get the darkness off. Millions of dark tentacles were now clawing at your face. You try to scream, but you can't find your voice, or it could be because you can't scream in dreams.

One single dark tentacle hovered above your right eye. Another one soon speared on the left. You finally find your voice and yell out as loud as you could as the darkness dove toward your eyes.

You shot up from your sleeping position panting, sweating like a pig. You've never had a nightmare like that before! A sharp knock on the door frightened you in fear that that creature from your dream was here.

You heard rustling of the sheets as Twilight got out of bed, groggily. "Hey Twilight!" It Pinkie invited her to the Gummy after birthday party.

"This afternoon," she responded, "as in this afternoon this afternoon?" She quickly made her excuse saying she was behind on her studies and she really had to hit the books. "You shouldn't hit the books, you should just read them." It occurred to you just how blonde Pinkie acts. Twilight started walking back to her bed.

"Twilight, there's something I have to tell you about Pinkie." you say hoping she'll listen.

"Please don't tell me she knows about the surprise party."

"No, it's..."

"It should be fine then. I've gotta go to get a...package, see you soon."

"Wait! Can I come with you?"

"Uh... No."

"Please," you respond, trying your best at a doggy face, which probably won't work due to the ponies' constant cuteness.

"No, you're staying here. I don't want any incident" Heck, you don't care what she says. When she turned around, you dived for her tail. You barely made it, but when you did, you hide like AJ did when she was poison joked. Completely consealed in her tail, she leaves naïve to what you have just done.
