My Time in Equestria
Chapter 35: 35. Lunar Dreams
Previous Chapter Next ChapterI walked jubilantly through Ponyville in an even better mood than usual. Whether it was the peaceful summer day that made my day, or if I just woke up on the right side of the bed, it really didn't matter to me. I was extremely happy nonetheless, and as I made my way over to Blaze and Spark's house, I knew today was going to be absolutely great in every way possible. The birds were happily chirping in the trees around me, the cool summer breeze blew gently against my fur, and the sun was shining proudly without a cloud in the sky. This day truly was perfect in every-
I suddenly stopped mid trot and looked to the tiled pathway in absolute horror of my sudden realization.
No, no, no! It can't be! How could this happen!?
"I missed the fun time Dash promised in the morning!" I yelled out into the empty sky, which would have seemed odd if the streets around me had been occupied. It was a little strange that no pony was out and about yet...
But never mind that; I missed out on what could have been one of the best times of my life! How could I possibly miss what I was looking forward to since last night? How???
It was amazing how missed sex can turn any man's good day into an absolute tragedy.
I mean, I woke up with her this morning! How could she forget? How could I forget??? What did I even do this morning? I know I woke up and I...I woke up and...
My mind suddenly became a barren wasteland of lost thought and confusion as I tried to remember my morning and where I went wrong. When did I even wake up?
The more I thought about the situation, the more I realized that I never even remembered waking up this morning, let alone how I even got in the middle of town!
I looked all around me and took notice of the extreme absence of ponies roaming around. It looked like I was the only one here...What is going on here?
I continued through town, the happy trot abandoning me as I walked with caution and wariness. I looked around nervously at the perfect blue sky and the vibrant colors of my surroundings, as if they could attack me and leave me for dead at any moment.
What was going on? This day is beyond perfect, no pony at all is walking around, and I don't remember waking up today. Did I get hammered without knowing it or what?
Then, it hit me.
And by that I mean I suddenly slammed face first into the side of a building while I was walking blindly, sending me recoiling back onto the ground. I groaned and began to rub my already bruised face gently...that is, until I realized that slamming straight into a brick wall didn't seem to hurt at all.
I looked up to the monstrous building that towered over Ponyville.
When did that get there?
Why didn't that hurt?
Where even am I???
I got off the ground and observed the strange building. It looked like a huge office that you would find in a large city, making it stand out like a sore thumb among the many rural houses in Ponyville.
I shook my head violently to make sure I wasn't seeing things and sure enough, it was still there in all of its industrial glory. I put my hoof to my forehead and thought for a moment.
Seriously, what is happening here? This is all so weird. First I can't remember anything, and now this? It's like some kind of strange dream or something...
My eyes suddenly widened and my mind felt like it unlocked the secrets of the universe when the realization finally hit me like a freight train.
"Oh! I'm dreaming!" I exclaimed. It all made so much sense now! I should have known from the beginning.
I face hoofed from my own stupidity. "I'm really, really dumb."
I looked back to the building after I was done with my enlightenment. This still didn't explain the building...Why would I randomly dream this thing up in the middle of town?
Wait a second! I'm dreaming! That means I can do whatever I want!
I thought, derailing my prior worries about the ominous office building.
What should I do first? I thought with a hoof to my chin. Oh, I know! I knew exactly what I wanted.
I looked to one spot on the side of the street and focused hard for a few moments. I hope this works...
In only a few seconds, there was a certain rainbow colored pony materializing before me.
I smiled devilishly. Excellent.
"Hey, Rainbow Dash." I greeted the dreamworld Dash.
She looked to me with a sexy smile and began striding over. "Hey, Flashy Boy."
I smiled back and said, "You know, we missed our little 'appointment' this morning."
"Oh, did we now?" She asked with a lustful look on her face. She wrapped her hooves around me and she looked straight into my eyes, our snouts connected like magnets. "Guess we'll have to do something about that, huh?" Her warm breath on my lips was almost enough to convince me that this wasn't a dream. Almost.
She pushed me onto my back, and she stood over me as I lay on the ground, ready for whatever this dream had in store for me.
She leaned down toward me and I closed my eyes, preparing myself for the sweet kiss. The thing is, I kept waiting. After a few moments of nothing, I opened my eyes to see what was wrong. Where I was expecting to see Dash looking down to me, I saw none other than the Princess of the Night standing over me with an amused look on her face.
"Hello, White Flash." She greeted.
"Ah! What the hell?" I screamed, scrambling back away from the confused princess. I backed up to the building and sat against the wall, trying to regain my composure. I looked to the princess with my hoof to my chest as I breathed heavily.
"Princess Luna? What are you doing here? You scared the living crap out of me!" I said. Despite the fact that she had made my heart leap out of my chest, I was actually stunned to actually see Princess Luna in real life.
"Oh, please forgive me. It was my bad." She said a little awkwardly, as if the words were foreign in her mouth.
I sighed and got off of the ground, recovered from the sudden turn of events. I can't believe I was just cock blocked in a dream.
"It's fine." I said. "What are you doing here?"
"Oh, no reason really." Luna said. "My sister told me about you humans coming here and how you helped save the Elements of Harmony, and I was just curious about you. I've been meaning to visit one of you for a while now, but I have been busy with other duties."
"So, what, you just wanted to meet me and the only way was in my dreams?" I asked.
"Precisely." She said with a smile.
I looked around awkwardly, then finally threw my hooves into the air. "Well, I'm here, and we met. Now what?"
"Well, uh..." She trailed off, thinking of what to say next. "Tell me about yourself. What is life like on this 'earth'? What is your history? How do humans work?"
"Whoa, one question at a time here." I said, trying to process the barrage of questions Luna threw at me. "Let's start with the beginning. Earth is where humans live. It's the only planet in our solar system that can support us.
"Why is this?" She asked.
"Because it's the only planet with enough oxygen and water." I explained.
"And why do you need that?"
"I don't know, that's just how it works." I said, pausing for a few moments. "Are you going to ask why to everything I say?"
"Most likely." Luna said with a smile. "I wish to know all I can."
I sighed. "Alright."
This is going to be a long explanation.
Rainbow Dash leaned ever so closer to Flash, looking into his closed eyes the entire time. This was sure to be fun. She could do whatever she wanted in a dream, and she was going to take advantage of it. She was inches away from his sweet lips when he suddenly disappeared. And in his place was...Princess Luna?
"Hello, Rainbow Dash." Luna greeted happily.
"What the heck?" Rainbow Dash jumped back into the air in surprise. How did Luna get here!?
"I see you and White Flash were having much of the same dream." She said.
"I...wait, what?" Rainbow Dash asked, her face turning red as she hovered above the ground. "Flash was dreaming about me?"
"Yes. I assume you felt him as if it were real life?" Luna asked.
"Well, uh, I guess." Dash said.
"If you can truly feel somepony in your dream, that means they are also dreaming of you." She said.
"Well, thanks for the fun fact, but why exactly are you here, Princess?" Rainbow Dash asked, starting to get annoyed.
Princess Luna got up from the ground. "Yes, well, about that." She said. She turned toward the massive building that Rainbow Dash saw earlier, but payed no mind to it. "Do you see this?"
"Kinda hard to miss it." Rainbow Dash said.
"There are some things I need to show you." Luna said, waving Rainbow Dash over to her. "Follow me."
After what felt like hours of explaining the very foundation and history of human life as I knew it, Princess Luna was content with her knowledge and flew off, hopefully out of my dreams for good.
I sat on the ground, somehow tired even though technically I had been asleep the entire time. Explaining human nature is exhausting! And why did Luna even want to know all that? I thought she already would have known, seeing as she's a princess and all. Why wouldn't Celestia tell her? Should I have even told her? I mean, she's a princess. Surely she's trustworthy with that information. It's probably no big deal.
I sighed. No need to worry. I'm sure it's nothing. She was just curious is all. I looked around my dream world as I was left alone once more. Now, where was I before all this..?
I looked back to where I was and focused once more. This time, however, nothing happened.
"Ah, come on." I said to myself. "It's my dream. How is this not working?"
I kept trying harder and harder to make another dream Dash, but nothing came out of it. I closed my eyes tightly and thought as hard as I could to manipulate my dream.
I opened my eyes again, and to my disappointment, she was not there. In fact, nothing was there. My entire dream had dissipated into complete darkness. More specifically, the complete darkness of the bedroom in the middle of the night.
I sighed at the realization that I had woken up and closed my eyes again in an attempt to fall back to the warm grip of sleep
Maybe when I wake up again, the morning will be better than that stupid dream. Maybe the day will be even more perfect than I could imagine.
I chuckled to myself. Listen to me. I sound like Spark. What was that he said? He couldn't get to sleep because reality is better than his dreams? He had a pretty good point there. I should take note of that.
I looked beside me and barely made out the outline of Dash sleeping peacefully in the darkness, her chest rising and falling in a monotonous rhythm each and every time.
I smiled at her and snuggled deeper into the soft cloud bed and let out one huge yawn.
Spark's right though; I don't need dreams. All I would ever want is right here with me. And no part of my imagination can ever make it any better.
