Dreams Can Be Real

by Flutterpoof


Chapter 4

This chapter contains OC’s, my own OC, and my friends. (He says his OC is best pony, I disagree.) You will probably know when the OC comes in. Kai, have fun reading! Also, some romance is inserted into this part, and there will be some more later in the story, so I'll be adding a Romance tag!

EDIT: Also, it has come to my knowledge that Green Cloud's story of how he get to Equestria is very similar to those of James' from the fanfiction What Seperates. If anyone else notices this, I just would like to say that up until xana452 pointed it out, I hadn't heard of What Seperates, EVER before.

Also, if the author (or anyone for that matter) would like me to change Green's human name, I will talk to my friend about it ('cause the story of how James' got to Equestria was all his idea) and see if I could get him to reconsider the story.

Thanks for pointing it out, xana452

After being at the party for at least 2 or 3 hours, I started to get quite bored. There were no alcoholic drinks like there was in a normal party, so there were no hilarious things that were done because the person claimed they were wasted, which was kind of disappointing (And no I don’t drink thank you very much!). I sighed, and stepped outside of Sugarcube Corner. I went around the corner of the building and sat down, and breathed in and out the fresh air of Ponyville. I smiled. The air was very, VERY fresh, unlike back at home, where pollution made the air smell like you were sticking your nose in a sewer full of sh-… human waste.
I could hear the rustling of hooves of other ponies who had stepped outside, either for fresh air such as myself, or to have quality time with a special somepony.
“Why don’t you just introduce yourself, you chicken?” I hear a pony say around the corner where I was sitting. I slowly crawled over to the corner and peeked my head around it. I saw two ponies standing there, one with a cyan coat similar to Rainbow’s, with a yellow mane and tail. He was smirking at the other pony, which looked as if he could knock out the cyan pony. He had a two-toned green mane, and a black coat. I looked closer at the cyan pony, and gasped, quickly covering my mouth though. He was an alicorn! I thought only Celestia and Luna were the only alicorns in Equestria! I shook my head, and stared at the black pony. He was a simple unicorn.
“Because, wouldn’t it seem kind of odd for a pony, especially myself, considering what I used to be, to just walk up to someone of a different species and say hello?” the black pony stated. The cyan pony laughed a short, low pitched laugh and continued smirking.
“No, because he doesn’t know what you used to be, smart one,” he laughed again. The black pony snapped, and bucked the cyan the pony into the bakery. I opened my eyes wide, and fully turned around the corner. The black pony didn’t even notice, and went to buck the cyan pony again. I quickly ran up to him and raised my foot. It connected with his stomach, sending him flying about three feet. I looked over to the cyan pony, who looked at me, and yelped. His horn started glowing and he started to levitate me.
“Hey, what the hell?” I screamed at him. “Let me down! I have quite a temper when someone makes me angry!” he looked at me closer and realized I was the human they were talking about. He gasped, and his horn stopped glowing, in which I was sent falling to the ground. I groaned when I made contact with the ground.
“Sorry, guy. I thought you were somepony else,” he muttered, and lifted me up with his magic. I quickly thanked him, to which I heard yelling. I turned to see a black hoof in my face, which made contact with my nose. I swore as I fell to the ground, searing pain in my nose. I stood up quickly, and jumped the black unicorn, holding him down. He struggled, while I connected my fist with his face again. He suddenly became limp, and stopped struggling. I stepped off his body, and looked at the cyan pony, who was staring at me.
“Dude. That. Was. Awesome,” he said to me, and I smiled. “Although he is my best friend, he can have some anger issues at times.” I nodded and looked at him. He was still breathing and conscious, so that was a good sign.
“You know what? I think he needs help,” the cyan pony looked at me in which I swear to God looked exactly like the “You Don’t Say?” face. I laughed and crouched by the black pony’s side. I lifted him up, taking him into Sugarcube Corner. As soon as I entered, Twilight quickly confronted me.
“Where were you?” she nearly yelled at me. I flinched. “You’ve been missing for about half an hour, and you told NOPONY where you went!” She gasped as soon as she noticed a pony sprawled in my arms. “Oh my gosh, quickly, we need to get him help!” She quickly ran off. I noticed she changed back to her nice and caring self, to which I breathed a breath of relief. I looked at the black pony, and dropped him onto two chairs that were relatively close to each other. Twilight returned with a first aid kit, and quickly opened it, and started to clean up his wounds. I looked over to the cyan pony, who was staring at his friend, laughing.
“What are you laughing at?” I asked him. He stopped, and looked at me.
“It’s kind of funny. He is always trying to wail on me, and this time, he got wailed on. Thanks for that,” he stuck out his hoof. “My name is Blue Lightning, and my friend there is Green Cloud.” I took his hoof and shook it.
“Hi, my name is Jeff. Y’know I heard you talking to him back there,” I pointed to the door, and he frowned.
“So, you heard that, huh?” he asked quietly.
“Yeah. What did he mean by “especially myself’?” I asked. He sighed and looked at me.
“Green Cloud here used to be a human,” he sighed, and I looked at him in shock “Yeah, he used to be a scientist, and the lab boys there built a time travel portal. Green Cloud, his name used to be James, volunteered to be a test subject for the portal. He entered it, and something went terribly wrong. Apparently, while building the portal, the boys messed up and made it a teleportation device.” I stared at him in disbelief. “Yeah, kind of a silly mistake, right? Anyway, he arrived here, the portal broken in rubble, while Celestia sent him to a nearby field to Ponyville. The reason why she sent him there, I have no clue. That’s where I found him. I’ve been his best friend basically since then.” Blue finished his story. I gave a small ‘huh’ and sat down on a nearby chair. Blue followed and jumped onto the chair beside me. “I found it hard to believe too, but if the Princess herself tells you it, you pretty much have to believe her.” I heard a groan nearby, and stood up, walking to Green’s side. He was stirring out of… whatever he was in. He looked at me in wide eyes, and cringed.
“N-no! Leave me alone!” he sputtered. I sighed and looked him.
“Look, I’m not going to hurt you. I was just defending Blue Lightning from you. No hard feelings, kay?” I stuck out my hand. He hesitated, but quickly took it. We shook, and Twilight gasped as she looked at Green Cloud.
“Gr-Green?” she sputtered.
“Twilight?” he stared in disbelief.
“Oh good Goddess,” Blue sighed.
“Oh, here to bash on White Rose again?” she spat, and Green raised his hooves.
“It wasn’t me! It was somepony pretending to be me, I swear!” he pleaded, but all Twilight did was roll her eyes.
“Sure, when you have solid proof for that, I’ll believe you,” she turned around to see Blue Lightning, and her eyes opened wide.
“Blue! You’re back! Just a minute, I’ll go get Rainbow!” and with that, she galloped off. I smirked at Blue, while he just scowled at me.
“Soo… You’ve got it going on with-“ I laughed before he punched me in the stomach, making me fall off my chair. He jumped on my stomach and scowled at me even more.
“Shut. Up!” he whispered between gritted teeth. I laughed; before he flew off my stomach and looked over to see a rainbow flash tackle him on to the ground.
“Blue! You’re back! You’re really back! I thought you would never be back!” she cried into Blue’s chest, while he stroked her mane, and shushed her.
“I told you I’d be back. Did you ever doubt me?” he smiled, and she smiled back at him.
“Well, no. But you said you’d only be two months! It’s been at least three or four!” she laughed, while he joined in. He was about to say something to her when he was interrupted by a kiss from Rainbow. He opened his eyes up wide, before closing them and returning the kiss. I smiled, and turned away to leave them to have some quality time together. Twilight sighed, and followed me.
“So, what’s up with you going all evil on Green Cloud?” I asked. She squinted her eyes, looking at me.
“He’s a flipping jerk, that’s why I went all ‘evil’ on him!” she said through gritted teeth.
“What did he do, and who is White Rose?” I asked. She sighed again, and looked at me.
“White Rose is a mare Green Cloud met in Los Pegasus. They quickly bonded and became coltfriend and marefriend. When they got back, everything was fine, but about two or three weeks later, in public, Green Cloud started pointing out all her flaws, which set her home crying. When Green Cloud went home to check on her, she had gone to her own home in Ponyville, and wouldn’t let Green in. Green Cloud then moved to Manehattan, not caring about her at all. Blue followed him, and apparently they just got back.” She finished, anger showing in her eyes towards Green. I sighed, and crouched down beside her.
“Are you sure there isn’t anything important missing in that story?” I asked.
“No! Nothing’s missing! Don’t you think I would know if something was missing?” I flinched. She was actually screaming at me. I looked back at Blue Lightning, who was getting the same harassment from Rainbow. I turned back to Twilight, who had stomped away to her five best friends. I stared at her, and suddenly got really tired. I went up to Blue Lightning, who had silenced Rainbow with his magic.
“Hey, I’m leaving here for now. You got a place to stay?” I asked him.
“Well, with her acting all ballistic right now, I don’t think I do,” he sighed.
“C’mon, I have a nice hard wood floor in my room. You could probably summon up a bed or something,” I smiled at him, and he smiled back.
“Thanks. Hey, do you have your own home?” he asked.
“No, I’m staying with…” I trailed off. “Twilight.” I huffed. She wasn’t exactly happy right now, so I wondered if she would still let me stay at her home. I shook the thought off.
“Oh. Well, in that case, let’s go quickly before she gets home. Maybe everypony will of calmed down by then,” I nodded, and I started walking to the library.
