> A dream... > by sapoltop > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Chapter 1: The night before. > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- It’s 6 am, and your alarm clock is buzzing. “What, huh? Oh for the love of Celestia!” You slam the clock with your hand to stop the buzzing. You slowly open your eyes, it’s Friday. ‘Ahh, another horrible day…’ – you think. ‘Same old routine: breakfast, school, homework, internet, at least tomorrows Saturday, that means a new episode of MLP.’ You pack your bag, get ready for school. --Some time later-- “Finally ! Schools over!” You quickly rush back home to do your homework and enjoy a few episodes of My little pony. As you watch the show, you always think of how awesome would it be to actually live there. The people, the environment, the atmosphere, and of course the six ponies you love, Twilight, Applejack, Rarity, Fluttershy, Pinky Pie and Rainbow Dash. But you always think of your family, it would be hard to leave everyone you love and care for, but you still think it would be better to live in a world without war and corruption. It’s 2:30 pm now. You overhear your mother arguing with your father again. You tear up. There has been allot of arguing in your house, you fear that your parents are going to divorce. Life is tough. Well it’s tough just because you get bullied allot at school, but that, you can take care of. Its 9 pm, you’re still browsing the internet to feed your need of ponies. You stumble upon a post, a post about lucid dreaming. You read that post and find out that there is a way to control what you’re dreaming. You begin searching for a way to experience lucid dreaming. After hours of search, you find the best suitable way of lucid dreaming. You fallow every step exactly how it’s described. First step, you have to stay up for 20 hours, you quickly check the clock, it’s 12 pm. You remember waking up at 6 am today, so that means you have to be awake for 2 more hours. You check what step 2 will be. The second step says you have to drink a cup of coffee. ‘Easy enough.’ you think. You scroll down to see the third step, which is to think about what you are going to dream about. ‘Well, I already know what I’m going to dream about. ’You think it’s best to prepare for step number 4, so you watch a few episodes of “My little pony: Friendship is magic” just to make it easier for you to imagine Equestria. Afterwards you examine the possible landscape of Equestria, after doing that you check the time, it’s 1:45 am. You decide it’s time to drink some coffee and do step 4. The fourth step or the final step. “Once this step is done I’ll be in Equestria!” you shout. “What was that honey?” ‘Crap, my mom heard me!’ You think. Time to come up with an excuse. “Oh nothing mom, just excited about a game I’ll finish.” “Oh, ok then.” ‘Phew, everything went ok’. You relax, and start doing step 4. You go to bed, say goodnight to your parents, shut the door and turn of the lights. The room is now pitch black. You lay straight in your bed, arms to your sides, head straight. You close your eyes and imagine about Equestria, you keep thinking about Ponies and the environment. You start to feel itches, and feel uncomfortable, but you still don’t move, one wrong move and you have to start over. After 10 minutes of not moving, you start to feel really strange, your body feels like it weighs a ton, you start to see blurry images in your head, even though your eyes are closed. ‘Now’s the time’ you think to yourself. You quickly think of everything you know about ponies, and notice that you no longer feel heavy. You succeeded, you’re dreaming lucid. > Chapter 2: A dream come true. > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Darkness, it was all I could see. ‘Where am I? This isn’t Ponyville.’ Suddenly you see a small white light in front of you. The light starts to get bigger and brighter as you go, what appears to be, fly closer to it. Then, when you get almost an inch near it, it becomes so bright, it looks like it could blind you. ‘Why is it so bright, why can’t I hear anything, what’s going on?!’ Suddenly the light begins to fade, you see some colors and hear some sounds. You try to speak, but your lips do not respond. You feel like something’s poking you, with a stick. You start to see more clearly, you see something orange, yellow and white standing next to you. “Is it dead?” – said a strange voice. “No dummy, can’t you see? It’s breathing and looking at us.” – another voice quickly responded. “You know, we should tell somepony about this.” ‘Wait, I know those voices’ Your vision finally clears up, and you can hear properly. ‘It’s the cutie mark crusaders!’ You quickly gasp for air. As you do that, the cutie mark crusaders get startled and back away shacking in fear. You stand up, and look around, you’re near sweet apple acres. ‘Great, that means I succeeded, I’m in Equestria!’ You turn your head to the cutie mark crusaders who are still shaking in fear. You look down. ‘I’m still human!’ Yes, you’re still a human, and no pony has ever seen a human before, or at least that’s what you thought. Not long after, you hear hoof steps, as you look behind, you see a beautiful mare with an orange coat and a yellow mane approach you, it wasn’t long until you realized that that mare was Applejack and that she was not walking, she was running towards you with an angry look on her face. You quickly lifted your arms in front of you and shouted. “No, Applejack! Wa-“ You were too late, and Applejack tackled you, you fell and curled up out of the pain. Meanwhile Applejack grabbed a rope from her bag and tied you up so you couldn’t stand up. She walks around you for what felt like 20 seconds. Then she looked you in the eyes and with an angry expression asked you a question. “Who are you?!” “Hi, my name is John, and I’m a human.” “A hu-…hu- ?” “A human! I think you’ve never seen one until now?” “Anyway why are ya here at the farm? What do you want from my lil’ sis?” The cutie mark crusaders were not shaking in fear anymore, they were just standing near Applejack and kept looking at you. “I don’t know why I’m here at the farm, I just appeared here that’s all there is to it. And by the way, I woke up, to your sisters friends poking me with a stick.” “Applebloom, can you with yer friends get Twilight for me?” “Ok sis, anything for you, be back soon!” The cutie mark crusaders fled to get Twilight, while you were dragged by the ground to her barn. ‘Argh, why do I have to go through all of this, I thought you can control your dreams when you’re lucid dreaming. Oh well, I guess you can’t, I’ll just try and imagine Applejack letting me loose.’ As soon as Applejack dragged you to the barn she looked at you curiously. “Can I trust ya?” ‘Did she just said, what I think she did?’ “Yes, yes you can.” “No, no, I can’t you’ll just run away or even attack me.” “What? No! I would never do such a thing.” She starts to doubt herself, and is constantly moving her hooves. “Oh Celestia I know I’ll pay for this, but…” She comes closer to you, and begins to untie you. After she unties you, you slowly stand up. ‘Wow, I guess you can control your dream while lucid dreaming.’ You think to yourself. Applejack starts to sweat, ready to tie you up again if you do any sudden moves. You just walk back a little and sit on a hay stack. Applejack lowers her rope, and comes closer to you. “I’m very sorry sugar cube, it’s just that I’ve never in my whole life seen a creature like you here, I was just being careful, I thought you were going to hurt my lil sis there, can you forgive me?” “Sure I forgive you, I would have done the same thing if I were in your shoe… I mean hooves.” Just seconds after you said that you hear ponies approaching the barn. ‘The cutie mark crusaders finally got Twilight to come over here.’ Twilight rushed in to the barn. She stopped near us to catch her breath. ‘Looks like she was running all the time.’ After her breathing brake, Twilight looked at you and asked: “Is this that creature you want me to investigate?” “Yes, mighty thanks to ya Twilight.” “Oh it’s nothing at all, really.” Twilight slowly approaches you, and keeps looking at you. “Hm, I’ve never seen anything like this, what is this creature? Can it speak? Is it intelligent? I have so many questions right now.” You can’t take it, enough being silent. “Hi, I’m John, I’m also a human, not a creature, a human, and yes, I am an intelligent creature.” Twilight gasps. “This is just perfect! I have to write to Princess Celestia right away and inform her of your discovery Applejack. Applejack spoke up. “Twilight, can this wait for tomorrow? I mean it’s 7 pm, the Princess is probably busy right now, we can write to her t’morow mornin’. What do ya say sugarcube?” “Well I guess it can wait till tomorrow morning, but where will he sleep, well he can sleep in the barn, I don’t really think he’ll escape.” She turns her head to you. “I mean if it’s ok to ya?” “Sure, I’ll stay here if you want me to, I don’t really have anything else to do here.” ‘What a lie that was, I’ve got plenty to do here! But I just have to become their friends, and I fear this Is the only way in succeeding it.’ After some time Applejack and Twilight decide it will be best to leave you here alone in the barn. As they left you heard some cranky noises. ‘Oh, so both of them locked me in, great, just great.’ You lied down on a hay stack and figured you’ll go to sleep. ‘Ha, I wonder what will happen if I sleep now? Nothing probably, I’ll just wake up at home, in my bed, yah that’s what will happen.’ You close your eyes and go to sleep. You wake up. You sit up straight, rub your eyes, and then slowly open them. “Ugh, what time is it?, Mom! Mom, why are we in a far…” You cut off you’re sentence noticing that you are not at home, in bed, you’re still in Applejacks barn! You start to worry a little bit. ‘It’s nothing, well shucks, I’m in Equestria! Why should I worry?’ You hear somepony coming. “Is he still asleep?” “I don’t know, let’s check him again.” The barn door opens revealing everypony from the mane six standing there. “Oh, he’s awake now” This voice was familiar to you, as you look closer at it, you see Princess Celestia coming to you. “Oh my god!" – you burst with joy. “Is something wrong?” – said the Princess herself. “No, no, everything’s perfect.” You quickly bow to her, noticing she was very serious. “So, you’re the creature, or “human” I’ve been hearing about?” “Yes I am.” “Why are you here human?” “To tell you the truth, I don’t know.” “Ok, do you know how did you got here?” “Well, one second, I was in my bed, in my world, then after I fell asleep, I woken up here, I sweet apple a… I mean here!” “Wait, you know the name of this place?” – Princess Celestia asked suspiciously. “Hey, now wait a second!” – said Applejack. “I remember him shouting out my name when I ran towards him.” “Explain yourself! Now!” – said Celestia in an angry voice. “You may want to sit down, this is gong to be a long story.” – you say that with a frown on your face. As everyone sits down, you quickly collect your thoughts, sit down with them, and begin to explain. It took you half an hour to explain everything, but they now know why you know so much about them. Princess Celestia stood up and asked: “What is your name? I think you didn’t tell me.” “My names John, why did you want to know?” “Well, John I think ill let you stay here for a while until I decide what to do with you here, but you must stay here, and only here, don’t want to scare the other ponies in town. That is if Applejack is ok with you being here, or I can take you to the castle dungeon in Canterlot.” “That won’t be necessary princess, ill happily let him stay here.” Applejack looks at you with a smile on her face, you smile back. You would think that this is a dream come true, well you fear of one thing. ‘This isn’t a dream anymore.’ > Chapter 3: A dream within a dream > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- It’s already been ten minutes since Celestia left. You are all silent, everypony is looking at you right now, and suddenly Rainbow Dash decides to break the silence. “So, I have fans in your world?” “You sure do!” – you say with a smile on your face. “Well, I think I’ll go now, I have allot of orders today.” – said Rarity before turning around and leaving. “Yah, I got to go, umm, practice, see you soon AJ” – said Rainbow before heading out to her cloud home. “Right ill go hit the books then. See you Applejack.” “I’ll go home to, if you don’t mind that is.” – said Fluttershy trying not to look at you. And Pinkie Pie, well, she was looking at you, she had a very serious expression on her face. “I’ll be off to sugarcube corner.” – said Pinkie Pie with the same serious look. ‘Well that was strange of her. Why was she so serious right now?’ You look down, and then at Applejack. She looks like she’s thinking about something. “Umm, what are you thinking about?” “Huh? Oh, nothing I just thought where could you sleep.” “Oh that’s not a problem, I can just sleep on this hay sack.” – you smile. “Nonsense! I’ll go clean the guest room and you can be there until you get back home.” “Sure, get back home…” – you silently whisper. “What was that sugar cube?” “Huh? Oh, nothing, just thought about something.” – you smile again. “Well I got to go buck apples, you can stay here, or go to the house, I already told my family that you’re here, they’ll won’t mind you.” “Actually I would like to help you with the bucking.” – you giggle at the thought what “Buck” meant in your world. “Umm, well I guess it’s ok. But how will you get the apples from the trees?” “Well since I can’t buck them like you do, I’ll just pick the ones that didn’t fall off from your bucking.” “That sounds useful. Ok, let’s begin then.” Both of you set of to the apple trees. You remain silent while going there, but at least both of you are with a smile on your faces. You start to worry on whether or not this is a dream. As you finally reach the apple trees, you look at Applejack, signaling her that you’re ready for work. She then begins to buck trees and you collect the ones that didn’t fall off. “I think I’m getting the hang of this.” “Ya sure are! At this rate we’ll get more apples than yesterday!” – she smiles with joy in her eyes. Applejack keeps bucking for about 3 hours, and you keep helping her. After the hard work you two are really tired. You ask Applejack if it’s ok to go take a nap. “Is it ok? Of course it’s ok! Why would ya think it’s bad to go take a nap? You’re not a slave John, you can do whatever you want, just don’t leave the farm, remember what the Princess told you.” “Ok, but what are you going to do now?” “I’ll go do some more chores and then I’ll go meet up with my friends.” “Oh ok, I’ll be in the house then.” “Ok, see ya later!” – she smiles. “Have a nice day.” – you smile as well. You start heading to the house. The sun is high in the sky. The apple family house looks very nice. As you enter it, you get greeted by none other that Granny Smith. “Oh so you’re the human I’ve been hearing about.” “Yah, my name is John by the way.” “Nice to meet ya John, I’m granny Smith.” “Nice to meet you too.” – you smile. “But what are you doing here in the house?” “Applejack said I could stay in the guest room until I get back home.” “Ok deary, just don’t brake anything.” “I’ll wont.” As you enter the guest room, you notice that it was not showed in the show. ‘Oh well, not everything is shown there, I mean they do have to have some privacy.’ You lay on the bed with your clothes still on, and think about your real life. ‘I wonder, if I am still dreaming, is this even a dream, or is it like another reality that I got in to somehow?’ You just lay there, and moments later, you decide to finally take a nap. You take off your shoes, lay down put your hands behind your head and close your eyes yet again, and fall asleep. You start to feel heavy again, your vision is blurry. ’What’s going on, what’s happening to me, am I waking up?’ The images are not so blurry, and you can see what was going on. You see a room, a very familiar room. It was your room, and you are still lying in bed. You try to stand up, but you can’t, it’s like your body is paralyzed. You hear your mother coming to the room. She opened the doors, she was crying. After she opened the door and came in, a group of doctors appeared and stood near you. “He is still alive, I can see him breathe.” – One doctor started speaking. “How long has he been like this?” “Well *sob* he was like this since morning, he usually wakes up at-at-at *sob* at 8 a.m., now it’s 11 a.m. and he’s still not moving, just *sob* breathing.” – said your mother with tears in her eyes. “Mam, I’m afraid well have to take him with us, to the hospital, there we will try and wake him up.” As the men get closer to you, your vision blurs again. ‘No, no! Don’t! I’m fine! Come on, WAKE UP!, WAKE UP..,’ “…WAKE UP!!” You notice that you are awake, and that you shouted out that last “wake up”. Though it’s not what you expected to see, you are not in your room, you didn’t wake up, at least in that reality you didn’t. You were still in the apple family houses guest room. “Oh no, what happened to me, what did I do, why can’t I wake up?” You start crying, remembering your mother, how she loved you, and father, knowing it was 11 a.m. then, you know he was just to upset to look at you in such a condition, but you know that he loves you as much as your mother does. You just sit, and wonder why are you still here, is this all real, why can’t you come back to reality. You clean your face from tears, stand up, and head for the bathroom. As you open the door, you see Applejack standing there. She was listening to you. “Oh! I’m sorry I’ve been peepin’ on ya, but ya started t’ sound like you were having a nightmare. Then you shouted “Wake up”. I was just worried for ya.” “That’s not a problem, I just had a bad dream that’s it.” – you try to smile, but your emotions kick in and you let out a tear. “Doesn’t sound like just a bad dream to me. What were ya dreaming about, you can tell me.” “Oh nothing, just some things from the past, don’t bother, it’s not worth it.” “You shouldn’t hide your feelings like that you know, that’s what friends are for you know.” – she gives you a smile. ‘Wow, to think that Applejack accepted me as a friend.' “Well ok, I think I can tell you the truth.” You go and sit down on the bed, Applejack stands in front of you. You take a deep breath before continuing. “Well my life isn’t, excuse me, wasn’t very “swell” in my world. I got bullied allot, my mom and dad were always arguing, I didn’t have many friends. My days were practically all alike: breakfast, school, lunch, dinner, homework, computer, and ponies. I really wanted to live here, in Equestria, so I thought I would try a thing called lucid dreaming. It’s the type of dreaming, where you know you’re sleeping, and able to control your dream, so I tried it, and at first I thought I succeeded, I appeared at your farm here, and woke up to your sister and her friends poking me with a stick.” “Oh.” - she looks a little bit confused, and sad at the same time.” “And that’s when I met you. Anyway, I kept thinking weather this is a dream or not.” “So you mean, you were thinking are we real or not?” “Well… I mean… I don’t want to offend you, but yes.” – you frown. “It’s ok, you got plenty of reasons to think this isn’t real.” You continue to tell her what happened. “So I was heading towards the house, I entered the guest room, just lied in the bed there. Not long after I closed my eyes and slept, that’s when I had a vision of some sort.” “A vision?” “I was lying in my bed at home, the only problem was, that I couldn’t move, I saw my crying mother, and a group of doctors around me. They were asking her various questions about me. Then, then they tried to take me to the hospital, I wanted to wake up, to hug my mother, to tell her it’s ok, so I started yelling “Wake up”. My vision started to blur, and my last “Wake up” appeared as a shout.” “Well golly, I don’t even know what to say. I wish there was some way I could help you, but I don’t know how.” – said Applejack with a frown on her face. “It’s no big deal.” After a short moment, you remember something and start to talk again. “Hey Applejack, didn’t you tell me that you were meeting your friends, why did you stay here?” “Oh, right, well ah started to head to mah friends and I thought I would check in on ya, but as I got to to the door I heard you, and that’s why I didn’t go.” “Well they must be worried about you, they can go start looking for you if you don’t show up.” “You’re right, ok then sugar cube, I’ll go.” “Ok, I’ll go walk around the farm to clear my mind a little. As you finish the sentence, Applejack turns around and goes to meet your friends. You go outside as well. You walk around, thinking what do you want more, to live in Equestria, or to go back home. The only thing what you want to know so far is what’s going on in your reality. It’s 7 p.m., the sun is setting. ‘Wow, what a beautiful sunset this is.’ Applejack has not yet returned. ‘She’s probably just having fun, yah, that’s it.’ You’re standing near the place where you arrived into Equestria. ‘I just wish I could see my mom just one more time.’ You start crying, missing your loved ones. You never thought you would cry so much about that. You stop crying, look up to the sky, it’s already dark. You gaze at the stars, you see your mother, formed from the stars, you feel sleepy, you lay on the grass. “It’s time to go to sleep.” > Chapter 4: The Reunion > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Humming, someone’s humming in the room. Someone’s humming a melody. ‘Who could that be?’ You keep laying on the bed. ‘Hmm, I’m in a bed, Applejack must have carried me to bed when she got back home from Ponyville.‘ You slowly open your eyes, sit up straight in bed. You’re shocked. You are in a hospital, and the one that was humming was the nurse, what surprised you even more, was that she wasn’t a pony, she was a human! The nurse notices that you are awake, she stops humming. She gasps and runs out of the room. Seconds later she runs back with a doctor. You start to worry a little. “Hello John.”, the doctor said without even looking at you. He checks the medical devices attached to you, checks some paperwork, calms down, and looks at you. *Cough* “So how are you doing John.” “Fine, thanks, where are me parents?” “I don’t know, probably at home.” “What time is it?” “It’s 9 a.m. Now, John, I’ll need to ask you some questions, ok? We need to find out more on what happened to you.” “Uh, I guess it’s ok.” “Ok, now just tell everything you remember, or know when we ask you ok?” “Sure, sure.” “Great.” The doctor quickly runs to grab some papers he dropped on his way here, afterwards he sits on the side of my bed, ready to write everything I say. “So John, do you remember why, or how you got in to a coma?” “Well, I just remember trying lucid dreaming.” “Mhm.” “I thought I succeeded, I was dreaming what I wanted to dream, but I didn’t know how to wake up.” “Mhm, and that turned out as a coma. Now John, I’m afraid you’ll have to stay here for one more day before I can let you out.” “Ok.” “We still need to check how well have you recovered. Now, I’ll leave you here, get some rest, your family should come here in a few hours for a visit, and you don’t want to be tired when they come see you?” “Great!” The doctor and nurse finally leave you alone. You decide it’s best for you to go take a nap. You are woken up by voices behind your hospital ward door. They were the voices of your mother and father. They enter the ward and when they see you, they tear up a little bit. You start to tear up too. “Hello son, how are you doing, feeling well?” asked your father with a smile. “I’ve been better.” You laugh that one off. “Oh we’ve missed you so much sweetie.” Said your mother with watery eyes. “I know, I’ve missed you guys too.” “Missed us? But John, how can you miss us when you’re dreaming?” asks your mother confused. “Well, I was in a dream where I couldn’t wake up, so at one point I knew it was a dream and remembered everything.” “Oh, I see, ok, son, looks like we have to go now, the doctor told us you need plenty of rest, but we snuck in your laptop for you so you wouldn’t be bored so much.” Your mom takes out your laptop out of a bag you’re dad was carrying. “If you ever get bored, you can write us an email, we will surely reply.” Your mother smiles. “Thanks mom and dad, I guess I’ll see you tomorrow.” “Bye son.” As soon as your parents left, you turned on your laptop. ‘Time to catch up with what’s happening on the internet. As usual you check some of your favorite image boards, then go check equestria daily for some news about the show. I mean it is Saturday and that means a new episode, sadly this week was a break for the animators, so no new episode. Five hours have passed since your parents left, you were feeling tired. How wouldn’t you feel tired, you have nothing to do on your laptop, the hospital food is awful, and listening to music makes you want to sleep. ‘Man, to think all of that, Applejack, Celestia, sweet apple acres, Equestria, all of that was just… a dream…’ You slowly close your eyes, get comfy in bed and try to relax and have a good night rest. Knowing what happened last time, you do not want to try lucid dreaming again, I mean that almost killed you. So you just try and have a normal sleep. Voices, you start to hear voices time to time in your head, you check the time, it’s 2 a.m. You have a hard time sleeping with all those voices in your head. You try to ignore them as best as you can, you try and dream about summer, about how fun it will be. After 10 minutes of imagining, you finally fall asleep, but asleep or not, you still hear voices. Funny thing is, only when you sleep, you understand what are the voices saying. “I don’t know what happened to him, I just found him lifeless on the ground near the house, I’m sorry I didn’t find him sooner.” “It’s alright, I doubted that he would survive here, he said himself that he’s from a different reality then ours, I just didn’t think he would fall so quick.” You start to feel very un pleasant, you try to wake up, you can’t, you star hearing voices again. “Wait, Princess ! He started to breathe a little bit !” “What! Stand back Applejack.” You hear some sizzling sounds. Suddenly your mind feels like it’s ready to explode, you feel deep pain, like someone stabbed you with a dagger in the heart. Your mind literally hurts. Not long after, the pain stops. Your heart starts to pump blood again, and you quickly open your eyes and take a big gasp. After you gasp you are shocked, you’re back, back in Equestria! “Oh, thank heavens you’re back!” – said Celestia relieved to have woken you up. “Back? Back!? I was back, back home.” – you get depressed. “What in Equestria do ya mean by that John?” – Apple jack asks with concern in her voice. “I was back in my world, in a hospital. They said I was in a coma. Why, why is this happening to me, why did I have to start lucid dreaming? And the worst part is, that I’ll be stuck in this dream until I die, or they manage to wake me up.” “Now John, I know you’re upset, but I want to say something to you.” Celestia steps forward, leans her head near yours. “No matter what you think, I think I’m saying this for everypony that lives here, that this is not a dream. And the things you are experiencing here are as real as they can get. You can be sure about that.” – she smiles, trying not to make you feel worse. “Well, but what about my old life, what did you do that got me back here?” You know notice that you are at the same place you were when you fell asleep. “When Applejack noticed you were breathing, I thought I would cast a wake up spell un you. And that’s why you woke up.” “Hmm, what would happen if you did the complete reverse of the spell you just did on me?” “Well that would be a very powerful sleep spell that could paralyze you, or even kill you.” You sit down on the ground in devastation. Celestia thinks for a moment. “Hmm, How much time were you in Equestria?” “Huh? Oh, well I think it was about two days.” “And how much time has passed in your world while you were here?” “About half a day. Why are you asking?” “Well, You see, it looks like have a difference in time as well, two days here, are only 12 hours in your world, but it’s not always stationary, some days can take longer or shorter in your world. I’m not and expert at these things, but I think that’s how time works between our worlds.” You feel a little bit better. “So, how much time is it?” “It’s almost 1 a.m., why?” “Oh, just wondering. I guess it’s time to go to sleep then.” You look at Applejack. Despite all her worries, she was still tired, she was standing on the ground, half asleep, half awake. “Well I guess so. I will come back tomorrow, but for now, you and Applejack should go to sleep.” “Will do.” Finally Princess Celestia helps you lead Applejack home, and teleports to Canterlot. You go to the guest room, and once more lay down, you too feel tired. ------- It’s morning, you wake up in the guest room, put your only clothes on, and head to the kitchen. This will be your first time eating something in Equestria. As you walk through the door, you see allot of pictures on the walls. ‘Those must be the Apple families relatives.’ You open the kitchen door, and are surprised by Applebloom who was already having breakfast. She shrieked, and fell of her chair. “Shh, shh, it’s ok! Didn’t Applejack tell you about me?” “Yes she did, but I didn’t expect you ‘t come here so early.” You hear someone coming, it was Applejack. “What in tarnation is going on here?” – she asked with a tired face, not fully recovered from sleep. “Nothing, I was just startled by our human friend here.” – Applebloom explained herself. Applejack yawns and walks over to the fridge. “What ya’ll want for breakfast.” “I already had breakfast. Going to the clubhouse, see ya sis.” – said Applebloom before running off to the CMC clubhouse. “What about you John? What do you eat in your world, I’m sure I could mix something up for ya.” “Oh, well a baloney sandwich will do.” You instantly regret saying that. “What’s a baloney?” – she asks you with a confused face. “Oh, it’s just what we used to eat, it’s complicated.” ‘Phew, I think I got away with that one.’ “Umm. Do you have any lettuce?” “Sure we do, you want a lettuce sandwich?” “Yah, sure.” “Ok, it’ll be ready in a jiffy.” You sit down on a small chair, it’s uncomfortable. ‘Well it’s built for ponies, so I guess I’ll just have to deal with it.’ You take a quick look around the kitchen while Applejack makes you some sandwiches. It’s just like the hall, filled with pictures. You giggle a little as you notice allot of apple everywhere. ‘Guess she loves apples as much as I like My Little pony’, you think to yourself. “Done!” She puts the sandwiches on the table next to you. “They’re not the best sandwiches, but I hope ya like ‘em.” – she smiles. “Thank you Applejack.” You try the lettuce sandwich, it tastes like a regular lettuce sandwich, but you smile as you eat it, knowing that Applejack made it for you. “Do you like it?” “It’s the best lettuce sandwich I had!” – you replied, knowing how ridiculous this situation would be in your world. “Well shucks, you’re to nice.” “No, really, it’s delicious!” After you finish your breakfast, you go outside and sit on the ground. ‘Well, if I’m here to stay, I might as well enjoy it.’ Applejack sits next to you. “You know John, me and my friends are going to hang out here, Rainbow Dash wants ‘t show of her fancy moves to us. Maybe you would like to come too?” “Oh, I could just watch you from here, I can’t go with you, I will just be a big disturbance.” “Now that’s just silly, why would ya think that?” “I’m not very used to talk to people, not to mention ponies.” - you frown. “Well you can always leave if you feel unpleasant. You know you should try.” “Ok, I will. I mean I wished my whole life for this moment to happen.” – you smile. It looks like you’re now looking forward in to living in Ponyville, and you seem to forgotten in what kind of danger you can really be. > Chapter 5: A new day, a new beginning. > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- You’re sitting and waiting for Celestia to come and have a talk with you. The weather is nice here, not a cloud in a sky. ‘Rainbow Dash must have cleared the skies so that none of them would interfere with her stunt. You pat the ground. ‘Interesting, it’s softer than what we have.’ You lay on the ground, letting the wind tickle your feet. The soft breeze of the wind helps you relax. You doze off. ----------- “Wake up sleepy head.” You open your eyes, sit up, and search for the pony who said that. It was Princess Celestia. She was smiling and giggling at you. You notice that you drooled all over the ground It was embarrassing. You start to blush. “Oh, don’t be embarrassed of what you did, it’s natural.” – she tells you with a smile. “Now come on, let’s go inside. We need to find you a chair before you fall over.” You walk inside, you don’t see Applejack. You are leaded to the guest room, or what was called your room right now, by Applebloom. You sit down, rub your eyes and try to concentrate. “So, I’ve talked with the mayor of ponyville. I told her of your being here. She said that she would announce it to all the ponies today, well right now actually.” “Oh, so that’s why I haven’t seen Applejack here, but why’s Applebloom and Granny Smith still here?” “Oh, well that’s because Granny Smith is old, and doesn’t really hear a word they say there, and Applebloom, well she’s a filly, and has no need to go.” – she explains. “Anyway, the mayor said you can come visit ponyville after a few minutes, so that she has time to explain to everypony that you’re not a threat to them.” “Oh, that’s good. I really want to go to town and meet some ponies.” – you say exited. “Well, I wouldn’t go talking with them right away, they need to adjust to you after all.” “Oh, sure, anything else you wanted to tell me Celes… I mean Princess. I mean your highness!” She giggles. “It’s quite all right if you call me that, but I prefer being called Princess Celestia.” – she gives you a warm smile. You blush a little bit. “Oh god I’m so shy. I blush every time I do something wrong, and I hate that.” “You know that’s not bad, there are allot f ponies who do that too you know.” “Thank you for making me feel better.” “Well, I’ve told you everything I had to tell, if I will need you, I’ll send a letter to my student to tell you.” “But I’ve never even been with her.” Princess Celestia just smiles at the end of your last sentence and teleports to Canterlot. “Wow, she really wants to make ya happy all right.” – Applebloom speaks up. “Why do you think that?” “Well, she comes to you just to tell that! Just to tell you that you’re welcomed to Ponyville? Applejack could have told you that.” “You got a point there, but I don’t really care, because I’m very happy now.” – you give the biggest smile you ever had. Applebloom just stares at you confused, and then runs off outside. You go to the hall and look at the clock. It’s 11:30 a.m. You can’t wait until Applejack returns. You decide to go and have an apple. You see Applebloom playing outside. “Hey Applebloom, is it ok if I have an Apple?” “Sure, why not.” “Ok, thanks.” You go to the kitchen to get yourself an apple. Once you get there, you take your apple and sit there just waiting for Applejack to return. It wasn’t long until Applejack returned. You rushed outside to talk to Applejack. As you ran out the door, you stopped and blushed. She was not alone, she was with her five friends. This moment was probably the most awkward moment in your life. You stood in front of them, they all stared blankly at you. You blush even more. “I was just…..I mean….. going for a run. But since you’re here I…. I’ll be heading back to the house then.” You quickly turn around and make your way back to the house, until Applejack speaks up. “Hey John, since we bumped in to you, maybe ya want to hang out with us?” “Oh no, I would just be a problem to you.” “Not at all! Right girls?” Applejack looks at the other five ponies. From the looks of this, she has already planed this before I even knew it. “No no, it would be fun to have someone new to talk to.” – said Rarity trying to make it sound real. “Well ok then.” – you say with your cheeks as red as a tomato. All of you start walking towards the back of the farm. “So, John, are these the only clothes you have?” – asked Rarity with a bit of disgust. “Well yah, I never had time to pack clothes.” – you laugh. “Well, we can’t let you walk with those dirty clothes all day. I’ll make you some new clothes, now that you can go to Ponyville you can just go to my shop and I’ll make them, free of charge.” “Oh, I couldn’t, I’ll find a job, or something.” “Nonsense, think of it as a gift.” “Well thank you then.” – you smile. “Oh don’t thank me now, you can thank me when I finish making your clothes.” You all stop. “This is the perfect place!” – Rainbow Dash shouts. All of you sit down and wait while Rainbow gets ready for her stunt. “So John, how are you liking Equestria so far?” – Twilight asked. “Well, to tell you the truth, it’s perfect! I’ve always wanted to live in a place like this.” – you blush. ‘Damn, I feel so awkward right now.’ “Oh, is that so? Why would you want to live here, isn’t your world good enough or something?” “Well, it has allot of corruption, and pollution. We even have a chance to destroy our own planet, so yah.” Not long after you finish speaking, Rainbow Dash coughs very loudly. “Ahem, I thought all attention is supposed to be here.” – she points at herself with a serious look. You all look at Rainbow as she lifts her back, and launches into the air. You sit there with your jaw dropped. You can’t describe what you just saw. The rainbow she leaves behind her, her delicate yet fast moves, her mane going wild in the wind, it was just perfect. After Rainbow Dash’s stunt all of you head to sugarcube corner to get some sweets. While walking there, you had a nice chat with the mane six and from the looks of that, it seems they are treating you like a friend. Even Fluttershy, the shy yellow pony, was happy to talk to you. You were having the time of your life. Upon arrival at sugarcube corner everypony outside gives you the look that people used to give to mentally disabled people in your world. You feel kind of like a freak, but what do you expect from them, I mean, they’ve never seen a human before. All of you ordered some cupcakes. They were on the house, so you didn’t have to pay, nor did you have the money to pay for it. Whilst eating the cupcakes you notice that Pinkie Pie had the same serious look on her face. “Umm, Pinkie Pie, I don’t want to offend you, but why are you looking at me like that?” She quickly shakes her head and with a new confused expression looks you in the eyes and asks: “What? Was I looking at you strangely, oh you’re such a crackup John!” – she giggles and continues eating her cupcake. “So, if I’m going to stay here, I guess I’ll need somewhere to live.” Applejack looks at you with a slight touch of worry. “Ya know you can stay in sleep Apple acres if you want? We would be honored if you would stay with us.” “I - I can’t, I don’t want to bother you.” “Bother, shmother. You know you don’t have anywhere to live and no money, I just can’t let you wander off somewhere and starve.” “You got a point there. Ok, I’ll stay, but I have a favor I’d like to ask you all.” You lean closer to the center of the table so that everypony could hear you. “I would like to get a job and earn my own money. Can anyone of you help me out?” “Well sure we can!” – Pinkie Pie exclaims. Twilight spread hey eyes as if she just had a sudden realization. “Hey, isn’t the café looking for a bartender?” Right after Twilight finishes her sentence, Applejack immediately answers it. “Yah he is, why, yesterday he stopped by and asked me if I know any pony that would like to work for him.” “That’s perfect, I hope I’m eligible for the job!” – you start to move your legs in excitement. “Well, we can lead you there, but after we finish our cupcakes.” – Rarity explains. “It’s settled then! After lunch we ride!” – you shout. Everypony is looking at you with a confused look. “It’s just a joke we use in my world, sorry if I offended you.” – you blush and lover your head out of shame. ----------- After all of you finished your cupcakes, you went out to the café and met the owner of it – Mr. Facade. He was a serious stallion, but has a sense of humor. After all of you walked in, Applejack went and talked to Mr. Facade while you and the others were standing in silence. Moments after Applejack comes back to you with, what you think is, good news. “I talked to him and he said he’ll be happy to accept you here for work, but first he wants to talk to you in his office. You know, about the job.” “Oh, that’s great! I’ll be on my way then.” “Ok John, I’ll be in sweet apple acres if ya’ll need me, I have to help big Mac in the farm.” – she grinned and left. “Will you find your way back to sweet apple acres from here John?” – Twilight Sparkle asks. “Yah, I think I do. Besides, even if I don’t I’ll just ask somepony for directions.” “Are you sure?” “Positive.” “Well ok then, guess we’ll be off then, see you soon, John.” You say goodbye to everypony and then proceed to Mr. Facades office. You open the office door to see a brown colored stallion with a short black mane and tail standing next to his table and drinking some of his shops coffee. The room itself was quite nice too. There were allot of diplomas hanged on the walls, and a picture of his family on his table. The office also had some book shelves here and there. “So, you’re the human we’ve been told about, huh?” – he looks confused, and yet happy at the same time. “Sure am!” “Ok, how good are you at bartending?” “Well, to tell you the truth, this is going to be my first attempt at it.” “Ok, have you ever worked before?” “Yes, if mooing the neighbors grass counts.” – you frown a little bit. “Well, you do have a pair of hands, which most ponies do not tend to have, so I guess that will do. Besides I owe one for Applejack so you’re in!” “That’s awesome! Thank you very much for accepting me.” “When can you start work?” “Whenever you want.” “In that case, go to work!” - he shouts a little bit. “Wait, I thought tha…-“ You immediately get cut off by Facade. “Ha ha, I’m just kidding kiddo.” – he starts laughing with you. – “You can start work on Monday.” “Ok, see you later the…-“ you stop and think a little bit. – “What day Is today?” “Saturday.” “Oh, thank you again for accepting me for the job.” He smiles at you as you close the door. ‘Oh my gosh! I can’t believe this! I have a job in Ponyville!’ You let out a little squee and proceed to leave the café. Looks like you got a job now, and a place to stay, not so long and maybe you’ll even have your own house, here, in Equestria. > Chapter 6: Socializing > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- So far, this is the best day of your life, you got 6 new friends, a job, and a place to stay at untill you buy a house. You just left the café and now you think it’s probobally best to go have fun. ‘Hmm, speaking of fun, Pinkie Pie should hrow a surprise party for me since I’m new here. Wonder why she hasn’t done nothing yet?’ You walk for a bit and shout: “Well duh, it’s because it’s a surprise!” Everypony around you starts to stare. You blush and awkwardly walk away. ‘Phew, well that was embarasing. Ok, I think I’ll skip ‘fun’, and go to sweet apple acres.’ You look around and get a little nervous. ‘Where exactly am I? Maybe I should go ask for directions.’ You look around for a pony, who looks like he knows the wareabouts of Ponyville. 'Heck, i bet everypony knows t Ponyville top to bottom!' You walk near an orange mare, with a beutifull green mane, she shook a little bit when she saw you, but instantly calmed down remembering what the mayor told everyone. "Umm, hello!" "Uh, hi?" "I'm kinda lost here... " - you chuckle, giving her an impression that you are kind and wont hurt her. "Oh. Well, where do you want to go to?" - she gives you a fake smile. "Can you tell me how can i reach sweet apple acres?" "Ok, now listen, you go straight," - she lifts her hoove up and points it behind her. - "then after you pass quills and sofas, you turn left and go straight up the the dirt road, and you should see sweet apple acres from there." "Thank you soo much, i would have wandered here if not you!" You start walking straight, just like the orange mare told you. You start examining the buildings around you. The houses looked just like plain mideavil houses, they just had allot of extencions on the second floor. You notice one of the buildings on the left has a sign. You walk closer and notive that a quill and a sofa were drawn on the sign. 'This must be the quills and sofas shop that she was talking about.' You decide to go take a look inside. As you enter the shop, your jaw drops. "Sweet mother of Celestia!" - you exclaim. You have never seen so many wonderful sofas and exquisite quills. Some even cost a few thousand bits, even though you didn't knew how much a bit is worth, judging from the show, a few thousand is quite expensive. "I see you're surprised." "What, who's that?" You walk forward and you see the shop keeper behind a sofa. "Oh, I'm sorry, I was just admiring your merchandise." - you chuckle a little. "Well, these are the best sofas in Ponyville." "Can't argue with that." You walk around the shop for a little while. "Who makes these sofas?" "Oh, well that would be me." - he grins at you. "I'll be sure to buy one once I buy a house here." "Please do!" You leave the shop and continue towards sweet apple acres. You turn left. You keep going left for about five minutes before reaching a small hill with a dirt road leading up. 'I can see sweet apple acres from here.' You go up the hill and find yourself standing at sweet apple acres. It wasn't long until you reached the house. 'Hmm, strange, I didn't see Applejack here in the farm. In fact I haven't seen anypony in the farm. Something's not right here.' You walk next to the door, lean forward and try to hear what's going on inside. "Come on, hurry up." - said a familiar voice. "Can you see him?" "See what? Oh, sorry, am I supposed to be on a lookout for him?" "You mean you weren't looking?" "Sorry..." "It's a good thing we're done, other wise, we might have ruined the surprise." You lean back up. You feel all warm inside, you have never felt this happy before in your life. 'They threw a surprise party... for me!' You knew that Pinkie Pie throws parties for everypony that's new in Ponyville, but you didn't knew that you would feel so happy if she threw a party for you. You stand near the door for a few seconds, just feeling loved. You quickly get back to your senses. 'I can't keep them waiting for me now can I?' You step back a few feet and begin to walk forward making loud footsteps. "Hey girls, I think I hear him coming, quick, hide." - some pony whispers. You walk near the door again, grab the handle and slowly push the door open. It was dark, you head for the switch, while hiding your joy. As you reach the light switch, you pull on it, and the whole room brightens up... "SURPRISE!!" Ponies start to jump out of their hiding spots and start applauding for you. You start to observe the guests of the party. 'Hmm, there's Applejack, Twilight, Rainbow, Fluttershy, Pinkie, Rarity, wow, even the cutie mark crusaders, granny Smith, big Mac.' Though it seems that there aren't allot of guests like in Twilights welcome party, but that was enough for you. You let out all the happiness that you had inside you out. You were so happy, you shed a 'manly tear'. Everypony stopped applauding and looked at you with an understanding smile. As usually, Twilight spoke up: "Wow, we made him so happy, he shed a tear." The mane six started walking towards you for a group hug. You lowered down a little since they are only two thirds of your height. They wrap their hooves around you. You feel better inside. "Now enough of these watery eyes, let's go have a great time!" As Applejack said that, she took you to the table where a cake was rested. "Well? Make a wish!" - Pinkie exclaimed. The cake was big, big enough for all of you to eat. The table it was on was filled with sugar based products. You continue concentrating on the cake. You concentrate on the cake, take a moment to think of a wish, and not a second sooner, blow out the candles. The cake was reading - Welcome to Equestria! "So, what did you wish for?" - Rarity asked. "If i tell you, it will not come true." - you chuckle. Everyone laughs with you. Looks like the party's going to be the best party in your life... ----------------------------------------- It's the end of the party. Granny Smith is already sleeping in her room and big Mac's cleaning the barn of all the decorations. "Well it sure was a nice party." - Twilight says before heading home. "Yah, it sure was." - you happily reply. "What do you mean by it WAS a good party? The party ain't over till the guests leave, and I say it's high time we have a sleepover!" - Pinkie Pie shouts it out so everypony gets how happy she is. "Well that's mighty good idea Pinkie, we should have a sleepover." "One problem, there's not a lot oh beds here." - you say that confused. "Oh, that's not a problem." - Pinkie explains with a serious tone in her voice. She rushes to a tree next to her and pulls out seven sleeping bags out of it. Everyone keeps staring at her confused. "Oh, I've stashed sleeping bag all over Ponyville, in case of sleepovers." - she grins. "O....k.... So i guess that's settled then!" "Wait, where are we going to sleep?" - Rainbow Dash asks. "Well, I can build up a tent that will fit all seven of us, but that will take allot of time." - said Applejack. You lift your hand and start to show off your fingers. "Well, i think these little fellas are going to cut the time to a minimum." - you brag. "Well, it can't hurt to try, wait one second, I'll go get the tent." - Applejack rushes off. Soon enough she returns with the tent and throws it near you. "Well then, let's get started!" - Rainbow Dash shouts. "What's the time?" - you ask. "10 p.m., why?" - said Twilight. "I'll build it in 10 minutes flat." Twilight lowers her eyebrows, she knows exactly what you mean and plays along with it. "Prove it..." ----------------------------------------- "Well that was fast." - Rainbow Giggles. "How much time did i take?" "40 minutes." - said Twilight giggling a little. "Ok, i admit it, I've never built a tent before, i just thought it would be easy." - you start giggling too. "Well what matters is that it's done." - said Applejack. "Um, Applejack, excuse me, but can we go to bed now, I'm tired and can barely keep my eyes open." - Fluttershy yawns. "Sure, i doubt anypony could stay up any longer." "I could!" - Pinkie Pie exclaimed. "Anypony except Pinkie" - Applejack grins. All of you all enter the tent, go in your sleeping bags and wish everypony goodnight. ----------------------------------------- Your mind awakens and so does your body. You open your eyes and get barraged with sunlight. 'So far and yet so accurate...' you think. You slowly sit up. Everypony is still sleeping, everypony except Fluttershy, her sleeping bag is empty. 'Figures why she wanted to sleep closest to the tent opening.' You quietly ad carefully climb out of the tent, you stand up and take a deep breath. You didn't wake anypony up. 'Hmm, I wonder what's the time? Meh, i think I'll go for a swim.' You remember seeing something like a lake near sweet apple acres when you first got here. You began walking towards the lake. It took you 5 minutes to walk to the lake. 'Wow, what a nice lake this is.' It really was a nice lake. There were allot of trees on the other side of it, the water looked so pure, you could take a drink from it. What surprised you the most, was that something yellow was lying on the grass near the water. It was Fluttershy. 'Hmm, so that's where Flutters is.' You think for a moment, should you say hello, or just walk somewhere else and avoid making contact. 'Ah, buck this.' You start waving to Fluttershy. "Hey Fluttershy! Can i come join you?" You didn't really know what she was doing, but that didn't bother you, you just want to socialize with her. "HUH!" She got startled and quickly turned around to check who was calling her. "Oh, it's you...Well...I guess you can... if you want to that is..." 'SO CUTE!' You walk closer to her and sit by her side. "So, do you always wake up early?" - you ask her not knowing what the time was. She keeps quiet for a few seconds then answers your question. "No, not really." "Having difficulties sleeping after waking up?" She just stares at the water looking shy. You take that as a yes. "Yah, i get that too." You don't know what's the current time in Equestria right now. Is it based on episodes, or not. You rather not think about it. Fluttershy smiles warmly at you, lifting her chin up more, you quickly smile back, not to be awkward. It feels like a ton was just pulled off of your back, it seams Fluttershy isn't actually that shy, really. "So uhm, Fluttershy." "Y-Yes?" "Want to hear a joke?" "Uhm, sure?" "Alright, so two ponies walk into a bar..." "What's a bar?" "It's a place where you go have alcoho-....... CIDER, yah, cider." "Oh.......... ok." "And then the two ponies go into a fight, bu-" "A fight!" - she cuts you off. The yellow pegasus lowers her head and tears start to form in her eyes. You start to worry. 'Oh no, oh no no no no no, what have i done!' "No no no, It didn't really happen! I'm sorry, please don't cry!" - you worry allot as she gives you a sad look. Her sad look instantly turns into a smile. "Just kidding." She lets out a slight giggle while she's looking at you. "Oh.., Oh! I get it!" You join in with her, laughing to your hearts content, both of you falling on your back, holding your sides, still giggling. Eventually, the laughing stops, and what is left is little snickers. "Good one." She tears up. Your face sinks, and the snickering stops, "Wait, wh-" "Fooled you again!" She boops your nose, while doing the sound, too. "You really got me worried." "I'm sorry." "No no, it's ok, it's a joke, you don't have to take it seriously." - you give her a warm smile. "Thank you!" She lets out a beam of happiness, her eyes perking up and a smile reaching from almost ear to ear. ----------------------------------------- Both of you walk back to the tent where the other ponies were still in their sleep. You laughed and giggled with her while walking, turns out she's not that shy once you get to know her. *Rarity yawns* "Huh, what's happening?" Rarity peeked out of the tent opening. "Looks like someone accepted our human friend to the group." - her eyes flutter over to Fluttershy. Fluttershys cheeks turn red as she gives Rarity a shy smile.Everypony started waking up by then. "Ugh, what's going on?" - all 4 ponies asked Rarity. "Fluttershy became friends with John." "That's great!" - Twilight exclaims. Your belly starts to make weird noises. "Heh, looks like someone's hungry." - Applejack points out your hunger. "What's the time?" - you ask. "I don't know, you should go inside and see for yourself." "Won't I wake up granny?" "No one can wake up granny." - she chuckles. "Ok." You go inside. You see little Applebloom heading for the kitchen for an apple." "Good morning." - you greet her. "Mornin." - she replies while yawning. You walk to the hall where you see a big wooden clock. It was 8:12 a.m. You walked back outside where everypony is now up and standing. "It's twelve past eight." "Great. So anypony up for breakfast?" - said Applejack. "Oh yes, i'm starving." - Rarity gently lowers her head. "Well then, let's go make some food!" - Pinkie Pie burst with joy. Everypony headed for the kitchen. Five of the ponies from the mane six were in front of you. You and Pinkie were behind them, taking your time. Pinkie pies starts looking at you seriously again. "I'm sorry Pinkie, but i can't take it any longer. Why are you watching me like that?" - you ask with concern. Pinkie quickly snaps back. "Oh, what? Oh don't mind that. I was just observing you for a while, that's i." - her cheeks perk up. "Really? Why?" "Nevermind that, now i know you're not like the others." - as she said that, she started bouncing ahead of you. You stood for a moment being clueless. After a minute or two you snapped back and ran to the kitchen. 'The're probably waiting for me now.' "So, what ya'll want for breakfast?" - Applejack asked all of you. "A double daisy sandwich." - Rainbow Dash said. "Me too." "Me three." "Um, i'll have one two." "Can i get some cooked eggs." - Rarity 'squees'. "How 'bout you John?" You think for a moment before answering. 'What to eat, what to eat?' "Do you have some apple pie?" "Well, we do have some left over pie from last night." "Great, i'll have that." "Ok, it'll be ready in a jiffie." ----------------------------------------- After breakfast, all of you part ways. You help Applejack pack the tent. Looks like this is going to be a wonderful day. You walk outside, the cold morning breeze is still blowing. You lay down on the soft grass for a nap. You've almost forgotten your past life, but that didn't matter right now, all that mattered for you right now, was staying as their friend. //-----------------// (Authors note) //-----------------// I really want to thank VitaExdet for helping me make the conversation between John and Fluttershy.
