I had jumped on the night train, hoping to see the destination as I woke up. As an Inter-railer, I have paid for a ticket, trailing tickets paid for, for the specified period of time. I had chosen to Inter-rail for the duration of my vacation.
My bed is in the end of the train, should be no difference. The only important fact, for all I knew and cared, is the three other beds where my friends lie. We had had just enough time to have a late meal on the train, before hitting the sack I had fallen asleep fairly easily.
The night had gone by quietly, and very much unnoticed on my part. This is why I chose the night train in the first place. In hopes to reach the destination fresh after a good night's sleep. Why bother travelling in daytime, spending my time travelling?
I had chosen the bed close to the floor, and in the direction of movement, I guess I'm glad I chose it. My bed looks exactly like it had as I entered the room, but apparently, I don't. I had changed into a pony, during the night.
Looking around, I found my first friend in be bed on the other end of the room, she is a Unicorn by the looks of it. I can see her light pink head on the pillow. Her main is a golden yellow.
“You're a Unicorn, Golden Dawn!” I burst out.
“Morning. I am? You're a pony, Gingers!” Dawn responded.
“We could have been doing worse. I guess it is good we chose the lower beds. Would be a pain to climb down that spindly ladder as a pony!” I responded.
“I chose the lower bed, just like you. Strange how good I feel now. How would Cloud Ripper and Sun Shiny get down?” Dawn responded, without considering their names, or the hints she was slipping herself.
“Slept well, down there, Dawn and Gingers?” Sunny responded, as her name was mentioned.
“Like little fillies, how about you two up there in the clouds?” I responded.
“You better get down. I'm hungry as a horse, so I guess you would be too? Dawn pointed out, in a more impatient tone of voice.
Then I hear the sound of quilts pulled along the bed, wings flapping, just before my two Pegasi friends landed in the middle of the space of the room in which I had been sleeping.
“I hope they have a restaurant on the train. I know I checked before I hopped onto the train, but they may have dropped it while we were sleeping!” Dawn pondered.
“Only one way to find out!” I responded.
“I'm starved, now as you mentioned. I haven't eaten anything since we jumped onto the train!” Sunny pointed out, embarrassed, realising first now.
“Unless we are the only ponies on the train, they ought to have something good to eat!” Cloud suggested.
“Sounds fair!” Sunny responded.
