//------------------------------// // Chapter 4 // Story: Silver and Blue // by skysky2112 //------------------------------// You know those dreams you have were your having the greatest day ever and one of your favorite songs is playing in the background? Where things go your way and nothing stressful arises. You can just sit back in a lawn chair, with a cold glass of lemonade next to you in the shade. All with the soothing sound of the pixies to keep the mellow feeling there. With your feet in the air, and your head on the ground, Try this trick and spin it, yeah… Your head will collapse But there’s nothing in it, and you’ll ask yourself… “Where is my mind?” I sing along to the music. Opening my eyes a tad bit to see the relaxing scenery, I see that I’m not a stunning white pony, but my normal human self! But rather than being ecstatic or amazed, I simply relax and enjoy this peaceful moment. Silver…. I hear something almost whisper, I must be hearing things. As I lay back and prepare to go back to my mellowness. I hear something again. Silver… I sit up from the chair and actually look around. I see that I’m on a beach, white sand, crystal blue water, not a sign of civilization. The ideal perfect beach, well, dream beach. Silver… It says louder. I get out of the beach chair I was sitting in and walk out of the shade onto the warm white sand. There is practically no sign of life in any direction…then I look out at the water, perfect crystal clear blue, that’s when I see something in the distance. It looked like a small, pink tentacle sticking out of the water. Almost squinting, I move a little closer to get a better look. With my feet now meeting the waves, with the water washing over them, I start to see that what ever it was. Then I could swear that It was starting to get closer and…taller? Soon, the pink thing was about 3 yards away from me before something massive rose out beneath it. It looked as if it was giant pony, the size of King Kong! It had hair that looked curly and crazy…almost like cotton candy. As It rose out of the water, I scrambled back, falling on my ass, and trying to move away from this giant pink thing. As I made it back to the tree line, I turned around to see that It was all fully out of the water, and looking directly at me. I couldn’t help but freeze up when it stared me down. Then for some unknown reason, it looked as if it was taking a huge breath, almost sucking me and the tree line into it, before it yelled in an ear shattering voice “WAKE UP SILVER!” Like all dreams, they must have an end, sometimes it a simple easy wake up by a soothing voice of a loved one…others it’s a giant pink pony that almost kills you and yells at you. “AH!” I scream waking up, accidently butting my head into something insanely pink. “OW!” at this rate, I would be lucky to not have a weakened skull from the amounts of hits my head keeps taking. “Finally she’s up! Almost thought we had to find a prince charming for her.” Said a voice that sounded a little arrogant. Shaking my head, and getting up, I was greeted by the sight of a cyan blue Pegasus pony, with a rainbow mane and tail. She had a Cutie mark, still not used to that, of a rainbow lightning bolt? “Rainbow Dash, Fastest flyer in ALL of Equestria at your service.” She said, with her chest out and head held high. This must have been the person, er, pony, that ran into me. “H-hi, I-im Silver Swirl, uh, new pony and guitar player?” I said extending a hoof to her. She probably didn’t notice it as she looked at me with a confused look. “Guitar player? What the hay is guitar? Did you mean gater? Cause I mean that would be awesome if you could play a gater. Not like play as in ‘act’ but I mean play one like an instrument!” she said. I had a feeling that this was not going to be a nice conversation. I mean, they do have guitars here…right? Fortunately that purple mare from before, Twilight, showed up with a face that was obviously pissed off. “RAINBOW DASH! How many times must I tell you to STOP USING THE LIBRARY AS YOUR CRASH SITE?” She yelled, making the previously tall standing mare, crouch a little, looking like a kid who had just been caught reaching in the cookie jar. “S-sorry, Twi. B-but I have good reason this time! Y-you see, I was flying really high and all of a sudden, this bag comes out of no where and hits me in the face!” She said, trying to calm down the angry librarian. This must have happened before, because it looked like her excuse was not working. Letting out a sigh, Twilights horn began to glow with a purple aura, spreading to the pieces of broken glass, and levitating them to the broken window, and then repairing it, as if it never happened. “We’ll talk about this later, dash. For now we have two new ponies who need to be shown around town.” She said, walking over to me with Blue following her. “So, Silver, you up for a tour of the town?” she asked me. “Sure, I guess, Lead the way.” I said to her, getting behind her with Blue, ready for her to begin the tour. “Great! Now, first stop Is Sugar Cube Corner, the town bakery.” She said leading us out of the library. As we walked I decided to ask a few questions that were on my mind, well…not all of them, I have a feeling she wouldn’t know anything about a bald brown possibly insane pony doctor who kidnaps people. “Umm, S-so Twilight. W-what did you say this town was again?” I ask her. “This is the town of Ponyville, home to the elements of harmony, Sweet apple acres and Caracal Boutique. Most people believe that this town is just some small, backwater town, compared to places like Manehattan, or Canterlot.” This confused me, Manehatten? Canterlot? Was this world just an alternate version of the one me and Blue came from? Or was it just a huge coincidence that they named their cities like the ones I know. Did that mean that Ponyville was practically another version of my home? Suddenly I hear a loud gasp as I realize that we had, hopefully, arrived at Sugar Cube Corner. I looked at the source of it that was behind the counter full of pastries and desserts. I felt my jaw literally drop, there it was, that same insanely pink pony from my dream. “OHMYGOSHOHMYGOSHOHMYGOSH!! YOU’RE AWAKE!” she said before jumping over the counter top, tackling me into an insanely tight hug. As I struggled to breath, I heard both Twilight and Blue yell “PINKIE!” before the pink ball of energy let me go. “Oh, sorry.” She said before giggling. I had a feeling that this pony was NOT normal…then again, normal hasn’t been able to describe anything as of late.
