//------------------------------// // The Daydream Believer // Story: Wake up and Smell the Coffee // by Fandom Trash Snivy //------------------------------// The sheets in the bed rustled inside the bedroom. Somepony was waking up. It was Java Jubilee. She poked her head out from under the sheets and woke up with a yawn. "Wow. That was one crazy dream." It had been twelve years since Java Jubilee had gotten her cutie mark and become a mare. However, she still had the same mane and tail style that she had twelve years ago. She kept her peppy style and tone of voice; she remained upbeat and happy. However, recently, she started to daydream about stuff. She wasn't sure what they were about when she was snapped back to reality, but she definitely daydreamt. Sometimes she would be cleaning a table in her house and suddenly she would start daydreaming about running away from King Sombra or something silly like that. Wait. Not him. She still felt bad even after those two years. Yup. King Sombra returned two years ago, which was still fairly recent. Even after her friend Arctic Lily started to believe her... She still daydreamt about the horrible incident, especially when she wasn't even aware that she was daydreaming. It was a very horrible thing that would annoy ponies around Java Jubilee. Not just daydreams about King Sombra, but all of them. Whenever somepony saw Java Jubilee staring off into space, they would know for sure that she was daydreaming. She would literally just stand there like a petrified animal. There were other reasons why Java Jubilee's daydreams were bad. She couldn't concentrate, she couldn't talk, she could barely do anything... Not even get a job. Out of all the reasons why Java Jubilee's daydreams were annoying, "not holding a steady job without daydreaming repeatedly" would have to be the number one reason. Her daydreaming antics would tick off her bosses. They would fire her on the spot, even on her first day. Usually she would not understand why, but on the pink slip she would be given, it would say: "Fired for daydreaming. An absolute waste of my time. Go find something else to do that would incorporate a portion of your imagination." She never understood why she did it or why people would get ticked off about it. Even Arctic Lily was fussed up about it. Arctic Lily. "Java, it's time for breakfast! You've gotta eat quickly because you're working the first day of your new job at the flower stand today!" "Oh, I've almost forgotten!" Java Jubilee quickly got out of bed, opened the door, and raced downstairs. Luckily she wasn't a slow eater...
