Unexpected Destiny

Chapter 4: New friend

Author's Note:

Rewritten by myself.

I slowly open my eyes, to find myself back in my bed in Equestria ... again as a pony. And thank Celestia, it is NOT burning here. I stretch myself a bit, remembering, what happened in reality ... okay, I better not remember this day. A bit worried, I run out, just to look if everything in Ponyville is alright ... and luckily, it is. Good. I start walking, when I directly bumped into somepony.

"Oh, hey, sorry. I am always thinking, when I do walking outside. Are you okay?" I rubbing my head and looking up to the pony, that I bumped into. The stallion has a cyan blue fur with a darker blue mane and tail. His cutie mark is an open book. "I'm fine. Thanks for asking."

"You are ... really not hurt?" He really cares, if I'm fine. I just smile to him. "Nope, I'm completly fine."

"Good to hear. Oh, by the way, my name is Rising Shine. I guess, I continue walking now. See ya. And sorry again." I tought for a moment. I don't have a really good friend here ... afterall, it's still a dream. My real life changed ... so why not my dream life? "Hey ... Rising, right? Wait a minute, I walking with you, when it's okay for you."

"Uhm ... sure, why not?" I smile to him, walking with him together.

"Are you ... uhm ... new here?" Rising looks to me, a bit surprised. "No. I live a few years here already."

Now I'm the idiot, who looks surprised. "Really? Never saw you in my dre ... here."

That was close!

"I'm often in my house, you know? I am a author, I write short stories and books. I usually only walking or flying, when I need fresh air to think ... or have to buy food to live." He seems to be a more lazy stallion. "Ah, okay."

"And what about you?"

"Me?" Actually, nopony really never asked about me in my dreams yet. "I'm a ..."

"Bad memories? Then just tell you're name first." My name? Uhhh, great. The last time, somepony mentioned my name was who-knows long ago. Most ponies just directly talk to me, instead saying my name. Have to look that up later. "Uhm. Sorry, bad with my name. Always forgetting it, because most calling me not with my name ... uhhh ... just call me Mail Jack."

I could give myself a facehoof right now ... "Mail Jack? Sounds strange." I know, urghh ... "Yeah uh ... tell that my parents, haha."

"When I meet them, sure."

"That was a joke ..." He looks a bit surprised to me. "Oh ..."

We continue walking, but we didn't really talked anymore, until we come to his house. "Well ... thanks. I am talking sometimes with ponies, but it's always nice to talk with new ponies. Thanks ... Mail. Mayby wee see us again." He smiles to me. I just smile back to him. "Yeah, I hope so. You know, I just lose my best friend ..."

"Huh? Really? I'm sorry for that ..." I look to him, then realized, what I just said. "Wa- ... nonono, not in that way. He isn't dead. We ... had some trouble."

"Sorry. Hey, you want some tea? You can come in if you want too." He is really a nice stallion. "Oh yeah, thanks."

Together, we walk into his house. He walks to the kitchen, while I sit down on the chair. He comes back, few minutes later, with a tablet on it two cups of tea. "Here, take one. It's really good."

I take the cup and give it a sip ... and darn it, he was right! "Wow! Have you did this by yourself?" He smiles, a little blush on his face. "YEP!"

"Taste really good. I ..." Suddenly, I hear a loud noise from outside. Sounds like a storm. "Oh yeah, I have forget that. Today is a storm planned. You better stay here for the night, okay? Too dangerous outside right now."

"Thanks. It is really no problem for you?" A loud thunder, followed by a lightning. "Nah, it's okay. I go to my bed now, thinking about a new story. I think, I even had some idea already. Sorry, I have no bed for you. But if you want, you can sleep on my ..."

I directly stop him. "Nonono, it's okay. The bottom here is really comfortable. But is it okay, if I use the chimney for warmth?"

"Sure, you can use it to make you warmer." I smile to him. "Thank you."

"You are welcome, my friend." He give me a smile back, before he leaves to his bed room. After I use the chimney and the flames filling it, I lay down on the ground and closing my eyes. It was really comfortable here, no lie. And I have a new friend too. If my real life would be so perfect ...

Well ... I don't even have a name. What my parents calling me in my dreams, when I was younger? Hmmmm ...
"I ... uhm, Jack. Call me Jack."

Didn't he say he grew up in the dream? If he did and he has a job, than how the hell has he never needed a name?
