“Oh my God, yessss! This feels so good…”

John had been awake for the past ten minutes, just comfortably laying on the bed. He had gone to sleep rather early, and as such, he had woken up in the wee hours of the day the following morning.

“I’m so glad I brought this!”

After three minutes of doing absolutely nothing, he had grabbed his bag and rummaged through its contents, he had easily found a stray pencil, a forgotten item from Earth that had caused melancholic memories to resurface.

He then proceeded to use said pencil as a makeshift scratcher for his cast covered foot.

“Ha! You can’t stop me now, doctor!” John laughed rather maniacally, showing his defiance to the medical pony, who at that moment, was enjoying a warm cup of coffee, unaware of his patient's negligence. John's laughter continued on, that is, until a rather soft item hit his face, causing him to panic at the sudden appearance of the object.

“Ah!” he let out womanly high pitched yelp, dropping what seemed to be a pillow, quickly looking around to find the source of the attack.

“You might be cool and all, but Spike‘s nap time is ‘John shuts up’ time,” John looked to the side, finding the library’s resident dragon Spike glaring at him from his bed, an act further increased by the reddened eyes he held.

“S-sorry Spike,” he apologized, choosing not to argue back, and without another word, Spike fell back on his small bed, instantly falling into a deep slumber, bringing John some peace after the relatively scary moment.

“Geez, you can sure be scary, Spike,” the young dragon twitched seemingly in response.

“Oh, Rarity…” John smiled at the dragon’s sleep talk (and groaned internally at the mention of the white unicorn) he laid on his side on the bed, watching the young dragon lose himself in his dreams, and soon, he felt himself slip into a dream of his own.

~~~~~

“Oh Leonardo… You can take me anytime…”

I put the pillow over my head, trying to cover the annoying sounds of my dumb sister, she had been staying up quite often rewatching that dumb movie.

I thought the Titanic was supposed to be a bad thing or something.

“Frankie…” I whispered to her, giving her one of my whines.

“What do you want, runt? Can’t you see I’m having a date with my husband?” I rolled my eyes at the ‘husband’ part, I mean, when did she get a license to marry anyway? I guess when you are fourteen you can do more things.

“Can’t you just do it tomorrow, please?” I instantly came up with a plan, grinning as I spoke “Or I’ll tell mom!”

This got her attention, because she was giving me a very angry stare, odd, I think I could see it in the dark.

“You tell her, and I tell her that you wet the bed.”

“How did you know!?” I asked her confused, I had never, ever told anyone about that.

“Uhm…” she stuttered, and giggled a bit, confusing me.

“W-what’s so funny?”

“I was just joking…” she burst out laughing right there, causing me to go hide back in my pillow, I would never get out of here until tomorrow!

Right then, I heard the room’s door open, and I heard mom’s voice along with the gasp from Franny.

“What do you think you are doing up, young lady? You have school tomorrow!”

“Erm… Johnny was up too!”

“Was not!” I suddenly realized I had fallen for her trap.

“See?” she said triumphantly.

“But… I was only up because of her dumb movie! If she weren’t so ugly she wouldn’t have the need of a dumb movie boyfriend!” I stopped talking, realizing what I had said.

“I mean…” mom just stared at me with disbelief, she shook her head wildly getting herself focused before returning her attention to us.

“Both of you are grounded tomorrow, you John, no TV, and you Frankie, no more Titanic,” I grimaced slightly as she left the room, managing to see Franny’s mouth opening over and over without a sound coming out, she turned to glare at me, then she flopped down in the bed, saying nothing else. Feeling a bit guilty, I did the same and laid back down.

I didn’t know how long it had been, but I stayed awake for some reason, is like sleep wouldn’t find me, and as I waited, I heard Frankie called me from her bed.

“Hey Johnny?” she began.

“What?” I replied instantly

“Did you really mean that?” her question took me by surprise.

“What do you mean?” I questioned her confused.

“Am I really… Ugly?” I think she thought she was hiding it well, but I could hear her sniffing softly.

“Of course not!” I answered without hesitation, Frankie giggled a bit at my comment before turning to face me. “I’m sorry… I was angry.” I apologized getting a bit teary eyed.

“No, you are right…” she admitted to my own surprise.

“But why do you say that?” I asked her curious.

“Because I have to resort to imaginary boyfriends to feel loved…” she replied, making me feel bad.

“Well… I love you, if that counts for something,” I said blushing slightly as the words left my mouth. If I told the guys at school tomorrow, I would never hear the end of it.

“Johnny…” she got off her bed and headed to mine, getting comfy under the blankets as soon as she got in.

“What are you doing?” I asked her as she pushed me farther along the bed.

“I want to sleep on your bed! Can’t I?” I thought about it for a few seconds, but found no reason to deny it.

“Okay.”

“Yay. Now don’t you dare wet the bed while I’m here.” I blushed a bit as she said this, but I quickly found myself getting comfortable, and quickly falling asleep.

“I see.”

I heard the strange voice and quickly got on my feet, what I saw in front of me surprised me; it was a dark colored horse, but what was more apparent on it were the horn and the wings, it was strange, but I wasn’t afraid for some reason.

“Of course you aren’t. I’m surprised you haven’t recognized me yet,” a female voice came from the direction of the horse, but I couldn’t be sure without d-

“It’s Princess Luna, if you must know.”

“Princess Lu—” a surge of memories filled my brain, and the room became a blur, suddenly, I was standing in what appeared to be the empty streets of Ponyville.

“W-what’s going on? Luna? What are you doing here?” I began wondering, and quickly voiced my concerns to the Princess who held the best poker face I had ever seen.

Outside of Celestia, that is..

“It is a rather strange thing, is it not? Dreams. They give us glimpses of things we could do, things that have influenced us take place here, even memories happen, as you yourself have witnessed it,” I blinked rapidly as I remembered my dream, quickly blushing as I recalled what had happened.

“Do not be embarrassed, I must admit that it was something quite warm, you must have had a strong bond with your sibling,” I didn’t know what to feel over her praise, she didn’t really know much about me, but then again, if she has had a sister for thousands of years, she must have a good idea of what a strong sibling bond is.

She seemed to smile as she probably read my thoughts again, she shuffled in place awkwardly as she fought to bring some message into the open.

“I came here to… apologize.” she began out of nowhere.

“What for?” I asked curiously.

“Being too harsh on you. I now understand that you do care for Twilight Sparkle, and I forgive what you did back in Canterlot,” I grinned thankful of her forgiveness, this probably meant I could get out of Celestia’s punish-

“However.”

Fuck.

“Your punishment is still being delivered. But do not worry, I will inform Celestia about your injury and will get your punishment send at a later date,” she turned around and began trotting away.

“Princess? How are you doing this?” I voiced my question, growing increasingly more curious by the moment.

“It does not matter, you being lucid was caused by my interference. Besides you will not remember this conversation when you awaken, but you will know of what we have talked of here, if only subconsciously.” with that, she disappeared, leaving only her voice behind.

“And please, try not to interfere with Twilight’s affairs too much.”

~~~~~~

“Luna! Er, I mean… Frankie! Why did I say Luna…?” John woke up with a start, noticing the outside and seeing it just as dark as it had been before, from the looks of it, only a few minutes had passed since his apparent sleep.

“Damn it, I had another embarrassing dream about you, and we argued… again,” John cursed silently as he laid back on the bed. “I don’t wet the bed anymore, you know Frankie?” John pouted to himself a bit forcibly while looking to the roof, his cheeks showed his flustered state as he turned his head towards the young dragon who fortunately, was still asleep.

“Rarity… You can take me anytime you want…” John raised his brow at the comment. “To look for gems…” he sighed in relief as soon as he heard that.

John smiled at the dragon’s innocence, something that he quite lacked it seemed.

“Maybe I have a new partner here in the arguing department...” he closed his eyes content, and sleep quickly took him once again.

Author's Notes:

Sorry for the short update, but here is the thing...
The chapter is over my usual limit of 5000 words at the moment, and honestly, I can't seem to find a point where to end it. So I decided to split the first part (which I actually chose as a small update for earlier this week but decided to wait just in case) which is this, in any case, at the rate I'm going, I'm probably gonna have a 10,000 words behemoth that will need to be split as well.

I did promise something for Sunday and I honestly didn't want to disappoint, so I hope you guys enjoyed this while I finish the big chapter I have going.

Anyway, please remember to leave any comments and perhaps some criticism on what I have so far, I enjoy reading your comments.

Notes 9

Nothing to say to this one. It was a set-up for what was to come, though one of the people in the comments mentioned it was a bit confusing, which is something I concur with now. I still like the dream sequence here, which shows me trying to make young John more childish in his thought process (and somewhat failing at it) The person also mentioned Rarity's behavior, which reminded me that I had a plot actually made for her, and makes me feel a teeensy bit better about her behavior so far.

But only a little.
