Livin' The Dream.

by The Joeker


A hospital bed is a parked taxi with the meter running.

As I felt myself awakening, I also felt the comfortability of a bed beneath me, what happened last night? I don't remember a thing.

Wait... I remembered something...

I was attacked! that explains my injured head... and this was no hospital, the fact I was tied down solidified this theory.

I fell back down on the bed as I tried to rise and heard something outside.

"It's awake inform..." I didn't hear the last part, I pretended to have fallen back asleep as he came in.

"Strange... I could wear I heard something." I heard him using some apparatus not far away.

I slowly opened my eyes an... holy shit...

I will admit... I gasped.

"Ah, it is awake." said the pony.

"What the fuck!?" I yelled.

"Oh my Celestia it can talk!" he exclaimed and ran out, to be replaced by 8 horses, mares judging by their muzzles, two were considerably taller than the rest.

I instantly struggled against my restraints and managed to break free, rolling off of the bed, as I back crawled away, I reached for pistol to find it was missing, as was my knife and my balaclava.

I backed into a wall and sat against it and leaned into my hands, muttering, as I did if I had an 'episode'.

"This is not real this is not real this is not real" I repeated.

"Excuse me." came a voice.

"I'm having a dream, I'm just dreaming..." I said.

"YOU WILL NOT IGNORE ROYALTY CUR!" came a louder voice, I looked up slowly.

"I'm not fucking dreaming am I?" I asked myself.

"WE ARE NOT A DREAM MONSTER, I SHOULD KNOW, I CONTROL DREAMS!" yelled a navy blue pony... and I did something I haven't done in a while... I laughed.

"WHAT ARE THOU LAUGHING AT?" she asked.

"Hahahaha! yo- you! A cute, cuddly little horse trying to be authoritative!" I laughed, she suddenly stopped and looked dumbfounded.

"Thou finds us... cute...?" she asked.

"Incredibly." I chuckled.

"Sister! leave the poor bipedal alone!" exclaimed a white hor... hold on a second... I knew who these equines were!

"No... fucking... way..." I said, my little brother used to watch the show MLP, 24/7..

"What?" asked... Twilight...

"I'm- it- I gotta be dreaming." I said.

"I'm afraid you are not." said Princess Celestia.

"Let me get this straight, Twilight Sparkle." I said and pointed at her, in truth I only knew her name, not anything else.

Suddenly I was pinned to the wall by a blue aura, well, punched through...

As I flew through I caught sight of Luna sweating and breathing heavily... I must be resilient to magic!

I landed in a storage room and got up from the rubble and coughed a little blood.

"Do it again if it makes you feel better." I grunted as I got up.

"I'm sorry, that wasn't intended to throw you through the wall." said Luna, he sounded half concerned, but yet another half of that concern was for the wall and the second half just didn't care.

"Why did you do that Luna!?" asked Celestia, angrily.

"I only-"

"No! you didn't think! you could just try asking Luna!" bereted Celestia.

"Very well sister, how do you know her name?" asked Luna.

Oh... bollocks...

Time to think of an excuse.

"I am... a very well informed individual." I said cryptically.

"Very well" she responded.

"Well, what happened? you crashed through our wall." stated Celestia.

"I have no idea, I was in my world, when I... was thrown, but before I impacted the ground, I impacted your wall, and hey presto, here I am."

"So you're not from here?" asked Twilight.

"no-" I started.

"yesyesyes! I knew there must be something else out there!" she exclaimed.

"What is your name?" asked Celestia.

"Basilli, Basilli Francis or just Baz." I said.

"Well you already know her name, I am Princess Celestia, the one who threw you through the wall is my sister Princess Luna." introduced Celestia.

Silence...

"Ok..." I said.

"We are royalty!" exclaimed Luna.

"You don't say." I said.

"We are immortal goddesses!" she said.

And I burst out laughing again.

"Wow... because you're a flying pony who can do magic and are immortal, makes you goddesses?! hahahaha!" I was rolling around laughing and the other ponies looked horrified.

"Well- yes..." she mumbled.

"Oh wow, I can see it now: 'Search for God over! revealed to be two pastel pony Princess! not big man in the sky in a robe and a beard that could put Hagrid to shame!' oh this is rich! wait until the church hears about this!" I laughed.

Both sisters found themselves flustered and kind of embarrassed.

"Sister... it... it isn't bowing to us..." said Luna in disbelief.

" 'It?' hey lady! 'it' has a name!" I exclaimed.

"Not to me." said Luna and walked out.

"Whats her problem?" I pointed with my thumb at the door he left from.

"Ego." replied Celestia.

"Ah." I said.

"Well, we should go, I-" she started.

"Woah woah woah, a hospital bed is a parked taxi with the meter running, I ain't staying in here." I said.

"Are you sure you are fit to move?" asked Celestia.

"Indubitably." I said and opened the door for the mares.

They smiled at me as they passed and I followed them, but as I walked suddenly I got a vision and a headache, I stopped for a second and put my hand on my head, I saw a flash of light and suddenly passed out again.
