Twilight couldn't fall asleep. The story that Rainbow Dash said was too much of the scary. Even the happy story that she had told her friends before couldn't get the story out of her head. The feeling of somebody talking to someone on top of the stairs was very uncomfortable. After a couple of hours sitting there thinking, Twilight drifted of to sleep.
Soarin was having quite a lovely dream if he could say so himself. He was eating a huge apple pie while staring at Rainbow Dash. The clouds were made of cotton candy ad it rained quite lovely chocolate rain. Soarin was busy eating the pie in his dream, he rolled over and found himself face to face with Dash. He woke up.
Rainbow Dash was sleeping while snoring quietly, her hair was frizzled and she looked very peaceful. Soarin looked at her and didn't know if he should turn back or keep it that way. he felt her hand, which was a tiny bit cold. He decided to cuddle up with her instead. Soarin wrapped his wing around her and drifted of back to sleep in his wonderland. Not noticing that Rainbow and wrapped her wing around his.
Twilight was having some troubles in her dream, she was dreaming of herself in a book world when someone was betting her pennies that she would not be able to finish the book. Just like Rainbow Dash's story, the voice soon turned into betting her life. She woke up screaming.
"AHHHHHHHHH"
which also woke everybody else up.
"Twilight?" AJ asked sleepy,
"Are ya'l okay?"
Twilight used her magic and turned the light on to find all her friends looking down at her.
"Darling, whatever made you get up at this time?" Rarity asked while looking at herself in the mirror.
"I'm sorry...everybody..I had a bad dream. A dream just like the story Rainbow told us..."
Dash looked down at her.
"You know that it's not true right?"
"Yea..but it seems true and it feels true to me."
"It's six o'clock, how 'bout we call it a night?" Applejack suggested.
"We're all up anyway."
"Yipeee!!! PANCAKES!!!!" Pinkie yelled as she pulled Fluttershy into a huge hug.
"Oh my goodness..."
Twilight sat up and looked at her friends.
"I'm sorry I woke you all up...I didn't know what I was thinking..."
"Neither do I..." Spike answered yawning.
Soaring still had his wing around Dash who was shivering,
"How about we all get dressed?" She asked smiling at him.
"Oh yes darling, I need to pick a new outfit for today!" Rarity said.
She used her horn to make all her clothes start to mix and match.
"No...no...no...nah...oh god no...YES!"
She held up a woollen sweater that was baggy and stylish with some black tights that were knee hight. She put on a pair of sleek black boots and started brushing her hair.
Fluttershy just pulled on a cardigan with a bunny pattern and a short pink skirt with long yellow socks to match her wings.
Applejack wore some baggy jeans with her rodeo vest and some long white sleeves hanging out. She put on her hat and tied up her hair.
Pinkie just turned around twice and a whole new outfit was on her.
"How did you do that?"
"I don't know.."
"She's Pinkie Pie."
Rainbow Dash reached inside her bag and just pulled on a hoodie with a pair of shorts and her hair sticking out the opening. She yawned, this was a early morning wasn't it?
Twilight paced back and forth looking at all of her friends she used her magic to make a plated of pancakes and she still couldn't get her mind of it.
"Twilight...it was just a story...you should really get your mind of it...I mean...if you want to..." Fluttershy tried to say.
"You're right...it was just a story and I making it seem like a really big deal..."
She poured some syrup onto a pancake and got some blueberries and cream.
"Breakfast anybody?" she asked while taking a bite of the pancake.
"Mmmmm" She said smiling
"It's good.."
Twilight looked at her friends happily munching on their pancakes. She sighed and continued eating.
"What's wrong Twilight??" Applejack asked, noting the quietness of her friend.
"I don't know...the dream..it was like a nightmare but it was a dream..."
"I know...it's okay sugarcube....it was just a dream...just a dream."
"But it seemed so real..I...I .....I just believe it's real...it seems real enough.."
Rainbow Dash looked at her...she seems confused as well. Why had her story seem so real to Twilight??
"It was fake. The story was fake. It was all fake Twi. It's not real. I heard it at flight camp when Hoops thought he could scare me. He ended up scaring Dumb-Bell instead. It's a fake story Twilight. Don't believe it. The more you believe the more real it seems."
Twilight nodded to see that she understood. She knew the story was fake and that was that. She poured more milk into her cereal bowl and looked at the rest of her friends. She knew the story was fake and now all she needed to do was get it all out of her mind. But that seemed the hardest. Oh why did they suggest scary stories. Why did this all happen. Why did her dream turn into a nightmare. WHY WHY..
"WHY!!!" Twilight ended up yelling at all her friends (and Soarin) who just stared at her.
"You okay darling..." Rarity asked.
"Yes..."
