//------------------------------// // Chapter 5: Shining Scribbles // Story: Daybroken Feather // by FeatherNote21 //------------------------------// Chapter 7 "Feather, we're almost there." I heard Daybreak say, and his I could feel his bright orange hoof was pushing me just enough so I woke up. I blinked awake, and sat up. I looked over at Daybreak, who had a warm, caring look in his amber eyes. It hardened quickly into a friendly glance. "Should we wake the others?" I asked, and Daybreak nodded. We got up, and I trotted over to Rarity first. I removed the blanket from on top of the white unicorn mare, and started nudging her. "Rarity, wake up, Hoity Toity is here to see you." I said gently. The mare bolted up and removed her eyemask. "What? Where?" she said, and started scanning the train car. "No where silly. You just had to wake up because were almost at Canterlot." I said, and trotted off to wake up Pinkie. "I fucking hate you Feather." I heard Rarity mumble under her breath. I started waking up Pinkie when I felt a hoof on my shoulder. I turned around to see Pinkie standing right behind me. I jumped and fell backwards on top of the apparently an inflatable Pinkie that squeaked as my weight crushed the pool toy, and the pink earth pony started laughing. "I gotcha Feather!" she said. I stood up shakily and rubbed my head. "Yes you did Pinkie." I laughed, and glanced over to see Daybreak staring at me with concern in his eyes. He imminently snapped his head down, blushed, and went back to trying to wake Twilight. I shook my head, and Pinkie and I trotted over to where Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash were sleeping together. "Hey you two. Wake up, we're almost at Canterlot." I said, and gave each pegasus a shake. Fluttershy woke up almost instantly, but we had to practically throw Dash off her seat because she was such a heavy sleeper. By the time she was awake, Daybreak had managed to get all of our saddlebags together, plus wake up Twilight and Applejack. The eight of us stood at the door, waiting for the conductor, as the train pulled up to the station in Canterlot. We saw Prince Shining Armor, Twilight's big brother, waiting for us. The door open, and Twilight galloped out to meet her brother. "Shining!" she cried. "Twily!" he said, and they hugged. the rest of us walked up as they broke. "Celestia has rooms for all of you at the castle. Follow me." he said, and trotted off. ________________________________________________________________________________________________ Emily awoke to the sun shining on her face. She immidietly picked up her phone to check for a message from Alex, her boyfriend. Nothing. Again. This was starting to worry Emily. She hadn't gotten a text from Alex in three days, and Jackson hasn't contacted her since the day he told her that him and Lyra were in Equestria either.... What the hell was going on? She quickly got dressed and went to the bathroom. After she had brushed her teeth and washed her face, she went downstairs for breakfast, to find her father... Gone? Emily looked around for a note or something the her dad would've left. Nothing. She looked out in the backyard to see a pale orange orb ebbing towards her. She took a step back, and the orb passed through the screen door. She reached out to touch it, and next thing she knew, she was being sucked into a strange world. Emily felt her limbs being pulled at, and a gentle, yet harsh tug on her back between her shoulder blades. Her hair spread so she could see it was now blue, and she felt that she had a tail. Emma's body exploded in pain and she screamed. And she wasn't the type of person who would scream. Emily fought to keep her consciousness in this strange world of oranges and blues, but eventually tiredness won over and her world went black.
