Previous Chapter Next Chapter

Before this chapter starts, I just want to say, THANK YOU! All of you! As of last chapter we have reached 1000 views! I thank each and every one of you for seeing the chapters and helping me to reach this milestone! I thank the people who have favorited and followed this story, my friends that read this, my family for giving me a laptop to type on, my dog because I said so, and the lamp that is in my room!... Anyway, this chapter is going to be different. You'll see what I mean as you start to read it.

Disclaimer: I don't own MLP in any way.


Huh... What's going on?... As I got up to look around, I saw I was surrounded by pure black nothingness. Am I... Dreaming? I wondered. To try and see if I was, I stomped on the ground as I imagined me in a forest. When I looked around, I was. Woah, a Lucid Dream! I almost never have these! I was so excited as I looked around some more. It was an average forest. Grass with patches of dirt here and there, a lake towards my right, and I was in an opening that was surrounded by trees.

I looked in the sky and saw a star lit night with a full moon, which had a shape in it that looked like a pony's head.

"Huh... That's odd." I said out loud. I turned around to face the lake and bumped into some pony. When I looked up to see who it was, since they were bigger than me, I saw a dark blue pony with a mane and tail that looked like the night sky. "Woah! Who are you?!" said as I got up, surprised to see a pony twice my size come out of literally NO WHERE!

"I am Princess Luna, but you may simply call me Luna. I have come to visit thy dreams, Zeke." The mystery pony, that was apparently royalty, somehow knew my name. THAT, shocked me.

"How, how, how do you..." I tried to say, not sure what to say. Luckily, she knew what I was trying to say.

"Know your real name?" I nodded. "Well, I have been watching your dreams for the last three days now. Even though you didn't know what you were dreaming about, I was able to tell." She explained. Okay, so she could watch people's dreams. Creepy, yet cool.

"So you know everything about me?" I asked, believing that was the truth.

"No, not everything. Only what thou has dreamed about. You dreamed about how you came to this world by portal, what it was like in, what I assume was a school, in your world, and the tragic incident." She explained further. Well it made sense because I remember having nightmares about that day so many times, it felt like it was my regular morning routine. "Anyway, that is why I have visited you when you had a lucid dream. I'm curious as to how and what happened, as is my sister, Princess Celestia."

Well, all of it made sense now at least. It's probably a good thing I explain it to her now. Because if she finds out that this world is a kid's cartoon in my world, then I will have tons of explaining to do about something I know so little about. "Alright, then what do you want to know?" I finally asked.

"Well, what is the name of thou kind? How is thou culture? Why did your kind act that way towards thee?" Princess Luna shot out the questions one after another. I hushed her, not scared of what she would do because if this was a lucid dream, then I could do whatever I wanted just like her. And I could think up so much more weapons and stuff in here

Speaking of doing whatever I wanted, if this is a lucid dream in a world with magic... I closed my eyes and imagined me turning back into a human. When I opened my eyes, I was about the same height as Princess Luna, who was amazed at me. I looked at myself and sure enough, I was human. Luckily with the same clothes that I had on before the portal incident. "Man, I wish I had more lucid dreams."

From there on out, I started explaining everything she asked. I told her we were called humans and that we were the dominant species. I laughed while I was explaining it because it felt like I was in a Sci-Fi movie or something. Next, I told her it's a lot like this culture, except that there were multiple ones all around our world, and that our world didn't have magic. And anyone that did believe in magic was ignored or did it for entertainment. Finally, I started explaining why the people in my world treated me the way they did.

"You see, everyone in our world likes to be around people who act very similar. Since I only had one friend before the accident, I was then treated differently by everyone except that friend who still saw me as me instead of a freak. When that friend moved away to another city, it was me against social life. So, I was an outcast and I had no friends. I learned to coupé with it and eventually, even when someone came to beat me up, I just stood my ground and let them beat me. I learned that there was no point in being scared anymore because there was no way my life could get worse. I lost my mom, my dad and his new family hated me, I was alone, and to top it all off, I was a cyborg." I summed up.

Princess Luna had some kind of a mixed expression when I finished. She felt sorry for me, that was obvious, but she also was... Happy. "Well, I know you can tell from your time here that this world is different. We don't ignore others like your world does. We don't ignore each other for no good reason."

"I've noticed. But... I don't know what to do. I don't think it's a good idea for me to stay in this world." I said with a frown of my own.

"I doubt you'd prefer being treated like that any longer. Here, you have friends who accept you for you." She said.

"I know, which is why it's so hard to decide. I don't belong here, and the more I hide my past with lies, the harder it'll get to explain myself. And the more I stay here, the more I don't want to leave. It just seems selfish to stay here though." I said as I stood up. While talking about my world, I imagined a recliner and sat in it. She said I was using my lucid dream powers like Discord, whoever that was.

"Then tell Twilight and her friends the truth. They'll understand." Luna assured me. I shook my head.

"What would I say? 'Oh hey everypony! You know when I said I'm from here? Well turns out I'm actually from another dimension where I'm a human, something non of you have ever heard of, and I just lied to you all because I thought you'd call me crazy!'." I shook my head again. "I can see the ponies stuffing me in a straight jacket, and throwing me into a mental patient room now." I told her.

She sighed. "thou needs to learn to trust in others more." She told me. I wasn't convinced and she picked up on that. "If you want, I can meet with my sister and arrange you and your friends to come. They will believe you no matter what, but it will be easier if we assist you." She said.

I smiled. Honestly, that was probably the best thing to do. She was right, I needed to explain myself to them. If not later, then sooner. "Thank you. I owe you one." I said sincerely.

"Nay. Thou owes me nothing. You just try and think things through Zeke. You have much stress between this issue." I nodded. "If there is anything else you are in need of, you best ask quickly. There is only an hour until sunrise."

Actually... "There is one thing. I don't know much about your culture, other than your all herbivores. You are way more friendly than my world, and that there's Pegasus, normal ponies, unicorns, and I'm sorry for saying so, whatever you are." I said. "Could you help me understand stuff like that?" I asked.

"Of course. I guess I should begin explaining who I am. Me and my sister are co-rulers of Equestria..." As she went on, I took mental notes on everything she had to say.

She talked about who the rulers were, some cities around Ponyville, evil creatures like Discord and Chrysalis, and how they said 'somepony' instead of 'somebody'. Honestly, it was nice to learn about all this stuff so I wouldn't be clueless if someone asked.

Finally, she stood up herself. "I'm afraid I must go. I will tell Princess Celestia about what you have told me, and thou can then expect a letter instructing all of you to come to Canterlot in some time. I'm not sure when you can all come, but just be prepared." She told me. I nodded at her, making another mental note to be ready for that.

Then I remembered something else and snickered. "Hey Luna? Could you say something real quick?" I asked.

She was confused at what I meant. "What does thou mean?" She asked.

"I'm just asking if you can say something real quick. Can you say, 'You shall not pass' as loud as you can?" I asked, trying to keep from laughing.

"Alright..." She cleared her thought and spoke in her Traditional Canterlot Voice, "YOU SHALL NOT PASS!" It was so loud I flew back a few feet, but I didn't care because I was laughing so hard. "What was so funny?" She asked, obviously confused.

"It's just... It was so funny... Because that quotes... From a really famous play!" I had to pause in between what I was saying, I was laughing so hard. She sounded just like a female version of Gandalf, all she was missing was a staff and a beard. She apparently got why it was so funny and laughed a little herself.

"Goodbye Zeke. I will see you in time." Princess Luna said. And with that, she disappeared. I gotta say, that was probably the funniest dream I've ever had.


And there you have it! Honestly, this is my favorite chapter of them all in my opinion! It doesn't have that much sadness, it has humor, and it has an overused movie quote that I just couldn't pass up the opportunity of making Luna say it. Stay tuned for the next chapter, which will have two different things happening. See you all whenever I put up a new chapter!

Question of the chapter: What is the first famous quote you can think of off the top of your head! (Can be from tv, internet, speeches, etc.)

Next Chapter: Old Mare Crankle Estimated time remaining: 0 Minutes
