Instead of a waking up in a black box, I wake up on the floor next to the stove.

"That's peculiar..." I say, but, I don't have time to think about it, because Sweetie Belle comes hoping into the kitchen with four bags in tow. 

"Okay, Rarity," she says, grinning as if she'd just won the lottery. "Let's get going. We have to leave now, if were ever going to catch the Los Pegasus train."

"Sweetie Belle, darling, I have no clue what your talking about." I said. 

"Rarity, you promised me that we would see the grand opening of Gem Shine vs Mud!" She complained. I sighed, and reluctantly gave in. Sweetie Belle hopped her way along side me as we walked to the train station. The weird thing was, it only took about five seconds to reach it. Usually, it takes about a minute or two.

Scootaloo and Apple Bloom were already there, supposedly waiting for us. Sweetie Belle looked at me. "You don't mind if my friends come too, right?"

"I suppose not, Sweetie Belle." I said, for it was far too late to object. The train came almost immediately, and we boarded. Now, usually it take about two days to reach Los Pegasus. This was cut down to only four hours, which didn't exactly seem like four hours at all. It took us about five minutes.

We all somehow teleported to the movie theater, there were little teleporters right outside the train station. I remember thinking to myself, how very odd, the must've added these a while ago. I honestly don't remember the movie at all. I do remember, however, when we were walking back to the train station, I somehow had a watch on my wrist.

"What time is it?" Sweetie Belle asked.

"A quarter past midnight." I said to my horror.

"Well, that can't be right." Apple Bloom said. I find her popping up in my dreams more often, and I can't understand why. "It looks like it's almost noon."

"Yeah, I think your watch is off, Rarity." Scootaloo added.

"I don't know..." Sweetie confessed. "I'm exhausted."

"Well, that's 'cause ya've been looking at a giant screen for four hours straight." Apple Bloom explained.

"Four hours?" I asked.

"Yeah, Rarity, weren't you paying any attention?" Scootaloo asked. For some reason, she's been being a nasty little filly, and I didn't want to deal with it anymore. Before I could send her home on the next train, though, she noticed a nearby store.

"Is anypony else hungry?" She asked. "'Cause I'm starved."

"I've got a hankern' for some hay fries. An' I hear that Maliza has the best hay fries out there!" Apple Bloom exclaimed.

Sweetie Belle, seeming to forget her exhaustion, pleaded and begged with me to go there. Soon, her friends joined in as well.

"Oh, fine." I said. We walked up to the open-air restaurant, and I started ordering. The poor dream fillies and I didn't get a chance to eat, because reality slipped in and I found out I wasn't in Los Pegasus, about to eat hay fries. I was in my room, on my bed, about to devour my bed sheets.




Twi's Notes

I've had a dream like this before. It was with Spike, Shining Armour, Cadance, and I. It was a good dream, but, I'm not sure how Rarity felt about it. It seems as if she was having a hard time, in the dream, trying to not disappoint her sister and her sister's friends. This could be exactly what she's trying to do in reality. The stress of the situation is leaking into her dreams, causing a sort of mix of a good dream and a bad dream.
The good part is, she's spending quality time with her sister. The bad part is, she's having trouble saying 'no'. I've seen her struggle with this in reality before, and I know it's hard. Just try to say no anyways. Your sister will still love you, even if it doesn't seem like it at the moment.
What was that movie called? Gem Shine vs Mud? Maybe the movie has to deal with a sort of 'connection' with the Apple's. That would also make sense why Apple Bloom has been in your dream more often than not. I wish you remembered the movie, that way I could analyze this further.
Oh, well. Maybe next night's dream will have more in store for us.
