ANON POV.

Earlier...

Looking out from behind the windshield, I looked at the lights that were on the mountain. There were two specific lights; one yellow, and one sky blue. As I kept looking at the mountain in the distance, I noticed that the lights were moving at a very high speed. As the lights moved across the mountain, I put on more pressure on the gas pedal. Maybe someone was in trouble! So I crossed the legal speed limit even though, the speed limit signs showed 80 km/h, I was on a speed that was at a 120 km/h.

"Boy, if I get caught by the cops..." I muttered, silently hoping that there were no cops silently waiting on the side of the road to catch anyone who was breaking the speed limit. As I made my way towards the mountain, I noticed on my GPS, that there were a couple of more minutes before I would reach the bottom of the mountain. So with that I started looking for a USB that had all my favourite songs. With some looking around I found it. Putting it into my amplifier, that lead to an ultra-high quality speaker. Browsing through the songs, I found it. My favourite song. So with my volume turned up, I started playing it.

As the minutes passed by, I looked over to my GPS that showed that I was only a few kilometres away from my destination. Turning down the music, the road led me into a big opening. Next to the opening there was a Forest that surrounded the big mountain that I saw the lights from earlier. Just as I was about give up my searching, a blinding flash caught my attention. Looking towards said flash, I saw three figures being chased by a pack of wolves. As I spotted them, I slammed my foot down on the brakes, stopping the RV fast. Looking around, I found my hunting rifle, and with that I opened the door and ran out with my rifle in my hands. Seeing the figures in the distance running towards me I could make out the shapes of 3 horses. The crazy thing here was that the one in the middle was floating. Snapping out of my thoughts I lifted up the rifle pointing a little above them, so that I wouldn't hurt the horses. Before shooting I roared at the wolves; "HEY! GET DA HELL AWAY FROM THEM!" and with that I fired once in the direction of the pack. As soon as loud bang was heard, the wolves ran away with their tails between their legs. Satisfied that I saved three horses, I relaxed a bit.

Looking ahead I noticed that the horses did not stop nor slow down, so with a slight sense of panic I slowly started to back off and hopefully get in the RV before I got road killed. When they were some meters away, I was pretty sure that this was the end for me. The horses continued barrelling towards me, not stopping. But just as one of them was about to crash into me, it suddenly stopped right in front of me. It gasped and panted, like it had run a marathon or something. As I looked into its eyes I saw that the eyeballs were creepily huge, but the irises and the pupil were at the size of a pinprick. Just as I was about to turn around and leave, its eyes rolled into the back of its head. Fainting, it fell over on its side with large gasps of air, but just as I looked up I saw two more horses, both fainted.

"Darn..." even if they are animals, I can’t just let them die here or let them be eaten by wolves. So with a sigh, I reached under the big ones forelegs and lifted them over my shoulders. Surprisingly she was very light almost as much as a little kid. As I carried it in the RV I set it carefully down so that I can open the door to the bedroom, which had three beds. One on the right side, one on the left side and one in the middle.

I set it, no-no 'Her' into the bottom left bed. Satisfied I tucked her in. Turning around and leaving the room, I went past the big plasma TV that was on my right and in front of the TV, there was a nice comfy sofa. Getting out of the RV, I quickly picked up the horse that was closest. It was pink. Really! So I took her into the bedroom too and placed her on the right bed. Looking over the weird horse, I noticed a few things I did not notice earlier. On her butt, she had a blue heart with some golden ribbons surrounding it. But that was not the craziest thing! She had a horn, with a nasty crack on it, and wings too! Tucking her into bed carefully, I quickly left to get the last of them in the vehicle. Stepping out in the cold, I found the last one, a blue horse. Deciding that it was not the right time to question such a thing, I wrap her around my shoulders and make my way inside. As I went into the bedroom, I set her into the last bed.

Remembering my childhood, when my parents used to take me camping with this RV, I always slept in that upper bed. I was never greedy. Back when I was a kid I was always generous to people. When I had a cookie I always shared. When it came to TV, I always gave up the remote controller. As I became older, I gave what little money I had to the homeless and the hungry.

Snapping out of my little flashbacks, I made my way to the front of the RV. Sitting down in front of the steering wheel, I looked back to the closed door to the bedroom. Starting up the engines again, I began to drive slowly and carefully to not to accidentally throw out one of my “guests”.

Just remembering how tired I was, I shake my head to stay awake. Looking down at my GPS, I quickly searched for the nearest place where I could stop to get some shut eye. Finding what I was looking for, I started driving in the direction of the nearest gas station.

About half an hour later, I arrived and safely parked the RV for the remaining of the night. Just about to go to my bed, I remember the “occupants”. Lightly chuckling I make my way to the front seat. (Totally forgetting the comfy sofa.) As I sat down in my chair, I yawned, and closed my eyes. Sleep came fast that day.

The next morning…

CELESTIA POV.

“My time has come, Chosen one.” The cake king said and bowed before Princess Celestia. Said princess was in a big dining hall with cake banners everywhere. Cake creatures were bringing cakes after cakes, which the princess happily gobbled up. As she ate the last piece of her last cake, the Cake king led her towards a new room. This was a smaller room. “Chosen one.” The king calmly said as he walked in front of Celestia. “It is time.” He said emotionlessly.

“Time for what?” Celestia asked with a smile. But instead of the king telling her what he meant, two great double doors opened, which was across the room. Two cake creatures carefully carried what looked like a serving dish, toward the table she sat at.
Before she could ask them what was in it, the king spoke up. “What lies in front of me, is the best cake that has been ever made in the whole entire world. You are the one who will eat it.” Celestia practically drooled as the lid was taken slowly off the serving plate. When the lid left the plate, there was some light coming from under it. (I know what I’m talking about. Just like in the cartoons, where the pirate slowly opens up the treasure chest which glows on his face.)

Just as the lid was completely taken off, Celestia saw what was indeed the most beautiful of cakes. That cake was perfect! And it was all hers. She looked over to her right to see the king smiling and motioning her to eat the cake. Celestia slowly lowered her head to take a bite from the cake. She opened her mouth as she slowly inched toward the cake. She could practically taste it now, but just as she would take a bite, everything faded away.

Celestia awoke to her instincts of raising the sun. ‘But I don’t want too!’ she childishly whined to herself. She was still very tired, and the Princess of the sun, did not have a really clear mind in the morning. As she felt something cold underneath her face, she slowly opened her eyes to look down on some white bed sheet. As she lifted her head a little to look around, she noticed a pool of drool on her pillow and bed. She wiped her mouth clean with the back of her hooves, and turned back to the white wall- “Wait a second… I don’t have white walls in my room…” she quietly muttered to herself. As she turned away from the walls, her eyes were met with her niece who was tightly tucked in beneath some white blankets, in a bed that was on the other side of the room. As she tried to remember why she was here, she looked a bit more around. Farther down the room there was some small window with a curtain over it. She could not see through it. As her eyes looked a bit more around, she noticed that there was a bed above hers. And a blue wing was hanging down from the side of it, twitching and moving ever so slightly. As she looked around, her eyes widened as her memories from the other day hit her like a ton of bricks. The tundra, the snow, the wolves and the creature that saved them.

“This is probably the creature’s shelter…” she said to herself as she quietly and carefully moved out of her bed. With that done she walked over to the curtains and opened them up and gasped at what she saw. In the distance the sun rose up from behind the horizon. Without her magic! “H-how?! That is not possible!” she shouted/whispered to herself in disbelief. As she kept looking out, she noticed a strange building. It was white and yellow, some poles holding up a big platform and next to the platform there was a big pillar with red numbers and letters on it. “Diesel, KR 13:98...” she said, read out loud from the pillar.
As she turned away, she made her way back to her bed. However, believing that they were safe, she looked her niece over. Seeing the nasty crack on her horn, she knew that Cadence needed medical attention. Looking away from the peacefully sleeping Cadence, she looked over to the bed that was above her own. Seeing Luna as she was she could not help but smile as how she looked like.

The lunar princess was in her bed a wing hanging down from the edge of the bed, legs spread out in every direction. Moving ever so slightly, while she mumbled to herself every now and then with a smile on her muzzle. ‘Aww, she is so cute!’ Celestia cooed. ‘She must be having a nice dream.’ With a smile she went back to her bed, to get her a good night’s sleep, which did not come often.

/-In Luna’s “peaceful” dream-\

“THY TIME IS AT AN END, PRINCE BLUEBLOOD!” Luna roared with the Royal Canterlot Voice as she pulled a lever that sent a rope with Blueblood attached to it, down towards a pool of lava. As the rope slowly lowered Blueblood towards the lava, Luna couldn’t help but rub her forehooves together, while laughing like a maniac. “MWAHAHAAAHAHAAAA!”
