Wandering in Equestria
Prologue
Load Full StoryNext Chapter----Note----
This is isn't a self-insert fic, in real life I wouldn’t have made the decisions that this character makes!
I realize that many people have made stories involving some sort of romance with Rainbow Dash, add this to the list, then.
Before I start talking about the events of today, I think I should give a proper introduction.
My name is George, I am 16 years old, I’m an only child, and I’m around 5 feet tall. I have black hair, my eyes are a brownish color. Sometimes I act silly, I’d joke around and make people laugh, and at other times I’d look a bit like a fool. I guess it never stopped me, I eventually was able to make someone laugh at the end of it all, anyways.
Today started out pretty normal as any other day in my life, boring. It was almost like every day was a daily routine. School, play games, eat, sleep, then the same thing all over again the next day. Sometimes I’d change it up a bit and watch some MLP, but it was still the same routine, just one thing was different. Since I was homeschooled it took me less time to work on school than most people do. So it gave me more time for playing games or whatever I felt like doing.
Today was July 10, the fact it was summer gave me more time to do whatever I wanted. I’d mostly spend my time playing video games, and watch MLP some other times. At other times I’d wish I could actually live in Equestria, but I knew it’d never happen. It was only a cartoon, anyways.
I felt like changing things up today, it was summer, I could do almost anything I wanted. I decided to go outside and do something, then came back inside shortly after. It was too hot. It was summer, I should expected as such.
I was getting a bit used to the whole routine, though. Besides there not being school since it was summer. But, still, today felt off. Today was…quiet. Almost like everyone was home doing nothing. I didn’t live in a very popular place, so I didn’t expect many cars passing by. But I never saw a single car passing by. It really felt…off.
“Huh.” I said. “Is everyone taking a day to be lazy or something?”
“…Wait, I’m talking to myself again.” Thinking out loud. I would randomly talk to myself every now and then, mostly out of boredom, but whenever I caught myself, I’d stop instantly.
I started thinking shortly after, perhaps everyone DID take the day off to be lazy, or maybe they were on vacation or something.
My parents were asleep, and I had just finished eating breakfast. And I couldn’t think of what to do. Then I decided to wonder how I’d look like if I were a pony, I remembered about General Zoi’s Pony Creator “Game”. Though it wasn’t the best way to create an OC, especially one that was supposed to look like me as a pony, but it was better than nothing. At least I would’ve killed some time by doing so. So why not?
I started designing my OC, I gave his body a blue-ish purple. And his mane and tail are a dark red, while his eyes were a bright blue color. I’m not sure how to explain how my OC’s mane and tail looked like, they were both short. Short tail, short mane. I was happy with how I designed my OC, all I needed was to decide if I wanted him to be a pegasus, a unicorn, or an ordinary earth pony.
After a few minutes of thinking, I decided on making him a pegasus. All I needed was a cutie mark. I needed to think about it, but I didn’t want to go through the hassle of designing a new cutie mark at that moment.
I was getting ready to save it to my PC. I stopped and started to think if my OC needed anything else. A few seconds later I figured he had all he needed, besides his cutie mark. So I saved it on my PC.
…It almost seemed like a coincidence, but it was also odd. Once I hit “save” to export the picture of my OC to my PC, I heard thunder.
“Huh?” I looked outside and didn’t see any dark clouds. Everything still looked normal, but it was odd. How did I hear thunder right when I hit save? And WHY did it happen at the very moment I hit save?
I assumed that maybe there was a storm approaching, and that the dark clouds could have been too far away for me to see.
I felt like playing my Nintendo 3DS, when I went to the last place I remembered leaving it. I had realized I left it outside, I don’t even remember why I left it outside.
I felt a bit like an idiot for being careless about where I placed my 3DS. But I didn’t really care, I thought of quickly going outside to grab it before it started raining.
I went outside and started thinking about where exactly I left my 3DS. I walked outside to see if I can find my 3DS, before my parents woke up and saw me outside alone. I looked up and noticed the clouds were dark, how did the clouds get dark so quickly? Just a few minutes ago everything was clear. I walked by my mom’s car, to check if my 3DS was nearby. Just then, it started to rain a little bit.
“…Great, just great!” I said to myself. “I better hurry and find my 3DS.”
I stopped for a moment. I wasn’t getting wet. The rain was getting stronger, but I still never got wet. I questioned it at first, but then I quickly focused my attention to finding my 3DS. If I wasn’t getting wet, perhaps my 3DS was safe as well.
I was looking around and didn’t find anything. Then something clicked in my head. My 3DS was inside the car. I’m not even sure why I left it there.
“Well, at least I know it’s not getting wet.” I thought out loud.
There was a random flash, followed by thunder.
I was looking at the car window, but since it was tinted, I only saw a reflection of myself. During that flash. I saw something.
…It was my OC. I really thought I saw my OC during that flash. It felt weird, seeing my OC as if it really was me.
Another flash happened. And I saw it again. What’s going on?
Shortly after, the thunder got louder. I quickly covered my ears from it being so loud. I was surprised my parents didn’t wake up because of it. I knew something was odd, but I can’t seem to understand this sudden thunderstorm.
There was one more flash. I was still looking at the window to see if it would happen a third time.
There it was again, my OC, staring directly at me. As if it was my own reflection. I stepped back, it started to gain my curiosity, while at the same time worrying me a bit. There was no way I could’ve seen my OC, but I did, three times.
I look up at the clouds, and there was one last flash. Though this flash seemed stronger than the last ones, I thought I was blinded at first. Then I blacked out.
It was a normal day in Ponyville, the sun was out, the sky was clear. Everything seemed like things were going to be fine.
There were two loud knocks coming from Twilight Sparkle’s door.
“I’ll get it, Spike.” Said Twilight, curious of who was there.
Twilight had just woken up a few minutes ago, getting ready to start another new day with her friends.
Twilight opens the door, only to see Pinkie Pie waiting behind it.
“Hiya Twilight!” Pinkie said, she had a happy look on her face, almost like she was excited for something.
“Hey Pinkie, what brings you here?” Twilight asked curiously.
“To see if you wanted to come to my party, silly!” Pinkie said.
Twilight tilted her head, “Party? What for?” she asked.
“Well duh! To celebrate all of us being friends for 6 months already!” Pinkie said with an excited face.
“It’s been that long already?” Twilight asked, with a curious look.
“Yep! Time flies by fast when you’re having fun!” Pinkie giggles.
“Sure, I’ll go, when does it start?” Twilight asked happily.
“It starts in about an hour, don’t be late!” Pinkie says while bouncing off.
“Alright, I have one hour to prep for the party.” Twilight said.
She walked off to let her friends know about Pinkie’s party, that is, if Pinkie didn’t tell them first. She looked up at the sky, it was clear. The weather team didn’t schedule any rain, so she didn’t have to worry about the weather.
She walked off to Fluttershy’s cottage to tell her about the party.
Just when she was about to knock, there was a loud thunder.
‘Huh?’ Twilight thought, ‘I thought it wasn’t going to rain today?’
She looked up, and there wasn’t a cloud in sight.
‘What? Is…is someone trying to prank me?’ She thought.
She shrugged at the thought, and knocked three times on Fluttershy’s door.
“Just…just a second!” A pony said behind the door, Twilight could hear multiple animals inside the house.
The door opened, showing Fluttershy behind it.
“Hey Fluttershy! Did Pinkie tell you about her party?” Twilight asked.
“Um, no. I don’t think so…I’ve been busy feeding the animals.” Fluttershy responded.
“Well, I’d thought I’d come over and help Pinkie delivering the message.” Twilight said.
“Sounds like fun. When’s it start?” Fluttershy asked.
“In about an hour.” Twilight responded, “Pinkie doesn’t want us to be late for some reason.”
“Okay, I’ll be there.” Fluttershy said.
Another loud thunder came. Twilight and Fluttershy jumped at the surprise sound. They both looked up, only to see the dark clouds in the sky.
“Huh? Just a second ago it was clear.” Twilight said, “How did it get so cloudy in just a few seconds?”
“Maybe the weather team scheduled a surprise storm?” Fluttershy suggested.
“Sounds like the only reason, I guess.” Twilight said, still confused about the surprise thunderstorm.
There was a flash, followed by thunder.
Twilight shrugged, “I guess I’ll just wait home until the storm ends.”
“Yeah, me too…” Fluttershy said.
Fluttershy closed the door, leaving Twilight walking home alone.
There was another flash, followed by thunder.
‘It’s still odd though,’ Twilight thought, ‘when and how did this surprise storm show up so quickly?’
There was yet another flash, followed by thunder.
Twilight thought about the third flash, it seemed like it was brighter than the last two. What if the weather team didn’t plan a storm? Perhaps this was something new altogether?
There was a fourth and final flash, also followed by thunder. This last flash was brighter all the other ones, the thunder also being extremely loud. Twilight could see the thunder hit the ground nearby before being blinded.
After gaining her eyesight back shortly after, she looked up and noticed the dark clouds were gone. What had just happened? She then notices she’s completely dry, it was almost like it never rained.
She glares to where the lightning hit, only to see a small fire. Surprised by the small file, she runs off to try to extinguish it. She was shocked at what she saw.
She saw a small ring of fire, surrounding a dark blue stallion who looks like he fainted. Whatever happened, he was unconscious, and Twilight was probably the only one there to help him.
She casted a spell to extinguish the fire, before it would spread anywhere. Once the fire was extinguished, all she needed to worry about was the unconscious stallion.
She lifted him up and carried him on her back. He was heavy, but she used every ounce of strength she had to at least drag him to her house until he woke up.
Bouncing around, Pinkie sees Twilight carrying the unconscious stallion.
“Hiya Twilight! What are you doing?” Pinkie asked, curiously.
“This stallion was knocked unconscious.” Twilight responded, “I’m not quite sure how. But I think it had something to do with that random thunderstorm.”
“You saw that too?” Pinkie asked, “I thought I was imagining it!”
“I need to take him to someplace safe for now.” Twilight said.
“Okie Dokie Lokie!” Pinkie said, “Mind if I help?”
“I would kind of need it, Pinkie.” Twilight said, “He’s a lot heavier than I imagined.”
Pinkie grabbed on to the uncounscious stallion, helping Twilight carry him to her house.
After arriving to Twilight’s house, they went up into the guest bedroom, and placed the unconscious stallion in the guest bed.
“Ugh,” Twilight groaned, “thanks again for helping, Pinkie.”
“No problem!” Pinkie said, “So now what do we do?”
“We wait for him to wake up,” Twilight said, “I have a few questions for him.”
“Like why he has no cutie mark?” Pinkie asked.
“Huh?” Twilight said, she didn’t notice this stallion didn’t have a cutie mark. It only opened up another question to ask.
“Well Pinkie, I’m gonna head downstairs.” Twilight said, “Are you just gonna stare at him until he wakes up?”
“No, but it’s just that I’ve never seen him before.” Pinkie said, “And I know everypony in ponyville.”
“Maybe he’s not from here, Pinkie.” Twilight said, “Let’s just give him time to wake up.”
They both walked off downstairs while they waited for the unknown stallion to wake up.
After I blacked out, I’m not sure if what I saw was a dream or not. I guess it didn’t matter at the time, but it was still weird that I experienced this.
I was in a dark room, at least, it looked dark. The only thing I could see was myself, as if there was some light. When I did look at myself, I did notice something even odder than the rest of the events that had occurred. I was a pony. A dark blue stallion, with red mane and tail, and wings that matched the color of my body.
Thinking it was a dream, I went along with it. I started walking forward a bit, though since I was a pony, I had trouble doing so. Though when I did start making progress, I could see something over at the distance. It looked like a cyan color, I decided to walk over there, since it was the only thing left in this room besides me.
After getting a bit closer, I could see several more colors, almost like a rainbow. After getting halfway close, I could make out what it was. It was a pony, though I couldn’t seem to recognize who it was. I could tell the pony was facing the other direction, so whoever it was, they didn’t know I was walking behind them.
After a few more steps, I finally reached them. Before I could even say anything to the cyan pony, the room lit up. I was somewhere, though I couldn’t tell where I was. It looked like I was on a cloud, along with the cyan pony.
I looked back at the cyan pony, only to see it was sitting. It looked like it was…crying, for some reason. Her hooves were covering her face, something serious must’ve happened to cause this pony so much sadness. I walked over to the edge of the cloud where the pony was sitting. I wanted to see if I could comfort it, or at least have it calm down.
I sat down next to the pony, only to see it was a girl. At least I knew her gender, now.
“Are…Are you okay?” I asked, hoping to get an answer.
She looked up, holding back her tears as hard as she could. She sniffled, she looked at me and hugged me.
During that hug, something made me hug her back. It was almost like I knew what happened, and I was comforting her. Almost like I knew her, like…I loved her…And she loved me back…
“Thanks for always being there for me, George…” The cyan pony said, holding me tighter.
After that, everything started to vanish. Leaving me in the black room again. I felt like something else was going to happen, though. Shortly after, the whole room became bright. I couldn’t even see anything anymore due to it being so bright.
…I can’t remember anything else after that. I must’ve blacked out again, or maybe I actually was dreaming. And if I was, what did it mean? Was this something that was going to happen in the future? Was my mind playing a trick on me? So many thoughts ran through my mind. That’s when I realized, I can’t remember anything. That last thought caught me by surprise before I fell unconscious. Whatever was going to happen next was going to be entirely new for me.
The dark blue pony had awoken, not aware of what was happening.
‘Ugh…Wha…What happened.’ He thought, ‘I…I can’t remember anything…’
He looked at his surroundings, he was in a room, somewhere. He was in bed, how’d he get here anyways?
“Um…Anyone here…?” He asked, hoping someone was here to give him answers.
Twilight heard the voice upstairs.
“Looks like he’s awake.” Twilight said.
“Oooh! Does that mean we can throw a party for him?” Pinkie asked.
“I don’t think that’s such a good idea at this very moment, Pinkie.” Twilight suggested.
“Aww, okay…” Pinkie said, “Does that mean the other party I have planned is off too?”
“As long as he can manage on his own.” Twilight said, “Otherwise we may have to cancel it while I help him.”
“Okie Dokie Lokie!” Pinkie said, “I’ll go tell the others!”
Pinkie ran out of the house, rushing to tell her friends that the party was canceled.
“Hello…? Am I alone in here?” A voice upstairs said.
Twilight walked upstairs to meet the unknown stallion, and get some answers from him.
“I’m here, don’t worry.” Twilight said, entering the room.
The stallion looked around curiously, then looked over to Twilight.
“Where…where am I?” The stallion asked, looking confused at the whole situation.
“You’re in the guest bedroom, in my house.” Twilight said, “I found you unconscious outside.”
The stallion looked at himself, noticing he was a pony.
“Am…am I still dreaming?” The stallion said, looking back at Twilight.
“Huh? I…I don’t think so.” Twilight said, curious of this stallion’s condition.
The stallion tries to get off the bed, but ends up falling off the bed with the blanket wrapped around him.
“Are you okay?” Twilight asked, she didn’t ask any questions regarding him or anything related after that.
“Yeah…I’m fine,” The stallion said, “I’m just…a bit confused at the moment. Mind helping me out of this?”
Twilight used her magic to remove the blanket off of him, and laid it down on the guest bed.
“So, now that you’re awake. I have a few questions for you.” Twilight said.
“Not sure if I’ll be able to answer them, I can’t seem to remember anything.” The stallion said, getting up from the floor.
“What about your name? Do you at least remember that?” Twilight asked, slightly worried about the stallion’s memory loss.
“Not…not really.” The stallion said, “The only thing I can remember was some dream I had…”
Twilight tilted her head, “Dream? What dream?” she asked.
“It’s…it’s nothing, it’s not that important anyways.” The stallion said, trying to change the subject, “So, what’s your name anyways?”
“Oh! I was so focused on asking you questions that I forgot to introduce myself.” Twilight said, “My name is Twilight Sparkle.”
“Twilight, nice name.” The stallion said, “If only I knew my name, so I could introduce myself better.” He turned his head down, facing the floor. Saddened about not even being able to remember his own name.
“Don’t worry, you’ll get your memory back.” Twilight said, “And I’ll be right here helping you along the way.”
The stallion lifted his head up, slightly cheerful.
“Thanks Twilight.” The stallion said, “Something tells me we’re going to become good friends.”
Twilight smiled, she was glad to help the stallion recover his memory in any way she can.
“Y’know, now that I think about it…I think there is a spell that could help you with your memory.” Twilight said, “I’m just not sure if I’ll be able to do it.”
“Well, there’s no harm in trying…right?” The stallion said.
“Well, I guess not!” Twilight said, eager to help the stallion with his memory. It would also help her answer her questions anyways, it’s a win-win at this point.
They both walked downstairs, the stallion was surprised to see all of the books that Twilight had.
“It’s like a library in here.” The stallion said, amazed at all the books there were.
“Pretty much, I got a book for almost everything.” Twilight said, “Let me see if I can find the book on memory loss, take a seat.”
As the stallion sat down, he started thinking about what his name was. He started thinking of multiple different names in his head, hoping to find something that would be similar to his name.
“Spiiike!” Twilight shouted, “I need you to help me find a book!”
‘Welp, I can check that off my list.’ The stallion thought.
“Coming!” a voice upstairs said.
The stallion heard footsteps on the staircase behind him, he looked back to see the baby dragon Twilight referred to as Spike.
“Oh, he’s awake.” Spike said, “Nice to meet you, I’m Spike.”
Spike moved his hand out, waiting for the stallion to give him a handshake.
“Nice to meet you, Spike.” The stallion said, reaching his arm out to give him a handshake. “I’m not quite sure what my name is though.”
“Huh?” The baby dragon said, “What do you mean?”
The stallion shrugged, “Ask Twilight, she needs you to help get a book anyways.”
Spike looked at Twilight, and walked off to help her find the book she needed.
“So uh, what book are we looking for?” Spike asked.
“A book on memory loss, or a book on recovering memory.” Twilight said, “Both could help.”
“Ah, I know where those are.” Spike said.
He walked to a corner of the room, and grabbed two books.
“Here you go.” Spike said, giving the books to Twilight.
“Thanks Spike!” Twilight said, walking off to the table with the books.
Spike looked at the stallion, he had an idea of what he ment after he got those books.
“So, you lost your memory?” He asked.
The stallion looked at him, and nodded.
“That explains a lot.” Spike said.
“Though, I have a perfect memory of a dream I had.” The stallion said.
“Dream? What dream?” Spike asked, curious of the dream the stallion had.
3 loud knocks came from the door.
“Ugh, I’ll get it…” Spike said, walking to the door.
Spike opened the door, all her friends were behind the door.
The stallion looked at the crowd behind the door. He noticed the cyan pony with the rainbow mane and tail that was in his dream.
He looked in shock, he thought it was just a dream. But here she was, she was real. So many things rolled in his mind. Why did he dream of her? What was he dreaming about? Was this dream something that was gonna happen in the future?
“Woah, what’s going on?” Spike said.
“We heard about the unconscious stallion…” Fluttershy said, “We’d thought we’d come see how everything was.”
“I’ll…I’ll just be in the guest room...” The stallion got up and walked upstairs.
Everyone looked at him, as he quickly walked up the staircase.
“…What’s his problem?” Rainbow Dash asked.
“I’m not sure.” Twilight said.
“Twi, shouldn’t you go check on him?” Applejack asked.
“You wouldn’t want him to faint again.” Fluttershy added.
“He’s not gonna faint again, though I should go check on him.” Twilight said, slightly worried.
Twilight got up and walked up the stairs, and walked into the guest room.
“Hey, are you okay?” Twilight asked.
“…At least I know something.” The stallion said.
“Huh?” Twilight said, “What do you mean?”
“My name.” The stallion said, “It’s George.”
“Well, glad you know your name.” Twilight said, “How’d you figure it out?”
“The dream I had.” George said, “Twilight, I might need to tell you about it.”
Twilight tilted her head, she was curious about this dream he had.
“I’ll wait for your friends to leave though,” George said, “I don’t want to keep them waiting.”
Twilight gave him a serious look.
“George, I don’t think they’re gonna mind.” Twilight said, “They were the ones who asked me to check on you in the first place.”
George sighed, “Alright then.”
“…Then it felt like I passed out, and then I woke up.” George said.
Twilight stared at him, surprised.
“Are you sure all that happened?” Twilight asked.
George nodded, “Yeah, I’m sure.” He said, “I remember every single detail, almost like it really happened.”
“Well, it sounds like you dreamt of my friend, Rainbow Dash.” Twilight mentioned.
“It’s still odd though…” George mumbled.
“What do you mean?” Twilight asked.
“I’ve never met her in my life,” George said, “yet my dream still involved her somehow. Perhaps it was something that was going to happen in the future?”
“Maybe, but I’ve never had a dream like that.” Twilight said, “Neither have I heard of anyone having a dream like that. Maybe you’ve met Rainbow Dash before, and just don’t remember it?”
“Twilight, I think I should get to know your friends a little more.” George said.
“You sure?” Twilight said.
“Yeah, if my dream involves her.” George said, “Then I have to get to know her.”
George got up from the bed, walked outside the room, and started going down the stairs with Twilight.
‘Let’s just hope my name is really George…’ he thought.
After they walked down the stairs, they were both greeted by Twilight’s friends.
“Finally! You came down from there!” Dash said.
‘…This is the girl who acted so sensitive in my dream?’ George thought, ‘Well, for all I know it could just be an act. Guess I’m gonna have to know her better.’
“What took so long up there, Twi?” Applejack asked.
“He was telling me about a dream he had,” Twilight said, “If it wasn’t for that dream, he probably wouldn’t have remembered his name.”
“Oh goodness.” Fluttershy said, “What do you mean?”
“His entire memory is gone.” Twilight said, “The only thing he can remember is his dream, and his name.”
Pinkie suddenly appeared behind George, with apparently a cupcake.
“Surprise!” Pinkie jumped, scaring George.
George jumped up in surprise. Almost high enough to hit the roof above him.
After landing, George turned around to face Pinkie, and looked at her seriously.
“Why did you do that!?” George asked.
“I made a cupcake to celebrate you remembering your name!” Pinkie said, giving the cupcake to George.
“Wha…” George mumbled, looked at the cupcake, and then looked back where Pinkie was. “How did you…”
Pinkie wasn’t there anymore.
“…She’s quick.” George said.
“And random, don’t forget random.” Twilight added.
George turned to Twilight and ate the cupcake, “You mean that’s normal for her?” he asked.
“Yeah. Every day is almost like this with Pinkie Pie.” Twilight said.
“Strange name.” George mumbled, “It does match her color and her love for sweets, I assume.”
Twilight nodded.
George shrugged, and turned to face Twilight’s friends.
“…Not sure how to introduce myself.” George mumbled.
“Just go say your name and give them a hoofshake or something.” Twilight mumbled.
George sighed.
‘It can’t get any more awkward than this…’ He thought, ‘Welp, here I go.’
“Allow me to introduce myself.” He said, “My name is George.”
“Um…My name’s…Fluttershy…” She said, quietly mumbling her name.
George looked at Fluttershy curiously.
“Shy, aren’t you?” George said, “Don’t worry, I won’t hurt you.” Trying to cheer up the shy pony.
“I’m Applejack, nice to meet ya George.” Applejack said.
‘Huh, everyone has unique talents and personalities.’ George thought, ‘I need to focus on Rainbow Dash for now though.’
“Nice to meet you Applejack.” George said. He looked up to the only ones who haven’t introduced themselves.
“I’m Rarity. I truly am sad to hear about your memory loss, dear.” Rarity said.
George shrugged, “Don’t worry about it, it’ll all come back to me.”
George looked at Rainbow Dash, while although knowing her name, he needed to get her to introduce herself.
“What about you? What’s your name?” He asked.
“The name’s Rainbow Dash.” Dash said, “I’m the fastest flyer in all of Ponyville.”
“Sounds like you’re pretty competitive.” George said, “We might get along quite well.”
“You think you can beat me in a race?” Dash asked, challenging George.
“No. But I bet I could beat you in other challenges.” George said, “The fact my memory’s gone means I don’t know how to use these things.” Pointing to his wings.
“Maybe I could teach you, that is, if you’re brave enough.” Dash said.
“Doesn’t seem like much of a challenge, now does it?” George said.
Dash stopped for a moment.
“Alright, I’ll teach you to fly. But once you get the hang of it. I want to see if you could beat me in a race.” She said.
“Alright, sounds like a plan.” George smirked. Somehow he knew that he couldn’t turn down a challenge like that.
Dash smirked, she figured George must’ve been a tough pony to challenge. Though she knew she could beat him in a race.
George shrugged, “I’ll just be in the room then, it was nice meeting you all. I still have a lot to think about.” He said.
George walked up the stairs, halfway through, he stopped.
“Dash, when’s training start?” He asked.
“How’s tomorrow sound?” Dash asked.
“Sounds great, I got nothing else to do anyways.” George said, with a smirk on his face.
Twilight looked outside, it was almost night.
“Huh, time really flew by fast today.” She said.
George heard about the time, and looked outside the window.
‘Huh…She’s right.’ He thought, ‘Just a few minutes ago it was daytime. How odd.’
George got in bed, and tried falling asleep.
I woke up again. Here I am, in the black room again. At least now I know who was the one crying in my dream.
Though I noticed it. She was there again.
“Dash…?” I said. While having no control over what I said.
Suddenly my body moves on its own, I’m now running to Rainbow Dash for some reason, perhaps to comfort her again like last time?
I sat down next to her, at the edge of the cloud. Just like last time. I still couldn’t speak or move, either my dream was trying to tell me something, or this was a big joke.
“Dash…Are you okay?” I asked.
She was sobbing, just like last time. She looked up, and tried fighting her tears again. Then she looked at me, this time I noticed something. She blushed a bit. Then she hugged me. I wasn’t sure if this was a joke anymore, it was really like my dream was telling me something.
“Thanks for always being there for me, George…” Dash said, hugging me tighter.
“Dash, you know I’ll always be here for you.” I said.
This was something entirely new, I got to see more of what was happening before the dream ended.
Dash looked at me. “I know…Now I finally understand.” She said.
“Hm?” I said, “Understand what?”
“That…I love…” Dash said, before she could finish that sentence, everything vanished again.
She loved what? Me? I needed to see more of this, but I guess it’d have to wait for the next time I sleep, that is if this dream happens again.
This time I was in the black room again. But I could see someone in the distance. It was Dash, was the whole thing going to replay itself?
“Dash!” I said, suddenly having control of myself.
I could tell she heard me. She looked right at me, then everything became bright.
The dream was over, and I woke up back into reality.
George had woken up, suddenly aware about his second dream.
He was going to learn how to use his wings today, so he forgot about it for now.
He got up, and walked downstairs.
“Going somewhere?” Twilight said.
George looked back at Twilight, who apparently had just woken up as well.
“Yeah,” he said, “Dash said she was gonna teach me how to fly, remember?”
“Yeah.” Twilight said, “Though I did find a way to repair some of your memory.”
“Really?” George said, “Neat!”
Twilight’s horn glowed, she was casting a spell on George to help recover his memory.
“Did it work?” She asked.
George shrugged, “Don’t think so. Maybe it has a delay?”
“I guess.” Twilight said.
“You guess?” George asked.
“Yeah, this spell is supposed to help cover some of your memory.” Twilight said, “Maybe it just doesn’t work.”
George shrugged, “Well, I guess I’ll be heading off.”
“Oh, wait. Before I forget.” He said, “I had the same dream this time, Twilight.”
“Huh?” Twilight said, “The exact same dream?”
“Yeah, the only differences were that I could speak on my own. My dream forced me to speak against my will. And Dash said something, but then I woke up before she could finish the sentence.” George explained.
“What was it?” Twilight asked, her head tilted, full of curiosity.
“She said she finally understood something…she loved...something.” George said, “The dream ended before she could say what it was that she loved.”
“Huh.” Twilight said, “You think it’ll happen again?”
“I wouldn’t doubt it.” George said.
“Well, Rainbow Dash said she’d be waiting for you in the tree outside. You’ll see it when you step outside.” Twilight said.
George nodded, and walked off to meet with Rainbow Dash.
“Glad to see you awake, sleepyhead.” Dash said.
“Aw, missed me?” George said, trying to tease Dash a bit.
“Please, I hardly even know you.” Dash said.
“Alright. Let’s just get this training over with.” George said.
Dash nodded.
“First off, do you at least know how to move your wings?” She asked.
“Not sure. Let me check.” George asked. He opened his wings, then closed them. “Yep, I know how to move them.”
Dash giggled a bit, but not enough for George to notice it.
“Good, at least that memory loss hasn’t affected on your wings.” She said.
“So, how do I do this? I’m entirely new to flying and I kinda feel like an idiot.” He said.
“You just need to flap your wings. It takes a while to get the hang of it.” Dash said, “I’ll help you out if you start having problems.”
About 2 and a half hours later.
“Dash.” George said. “I’m tired, I need to take a break.”
“Fine.” Dash said. “But don’t complain to me when you forget how to fly again.”
George landed on the ground and sat next to the tree, leaning back on it for a while.
Dash sat down next to him, also leaning on the tree.
“So, what now?” Dash asked.
“We just sit here and relax, I guess.” George said.
“I didn’t want to mention this.” Dash said, “But I’m not sure anymore.”
“Huh?” George said. “Mention what?”
“I had a dream…” Dash said, “You were in it.”
George suddenly looked at Dash. “What was the dream?” George asked, suddenly curious and worried about what Dash was about to say.
“I was in a cloud…crying.” Dash said, “You walked by, and asked if I was okay. And…I hugged you…”
“Uh…” George said, “Would you believe me if I told you I had that dream too?”
“The exact same dream?” Dash asked, “I had this dream for two nights now.”
“Yeah. The exact same dream.” George said, “Two nights in a row.”
“That’s kinda weird how we both had the same dream.” Dash said. “You better not be playing some joke, George.”
“I can prove it.” George said, “You thanked me for always being there for you, then you hugged me. Then you were about to say you loved something, but you never finished your sentence. The dream ended before you could finish.”
“Yeah…after that, I was in a dark room, and I heard you yelling my name. I tried to look at you, but then the whole room went bright after that.”
George looked at Dash, suddenly surprised at what he heard.
“What?” He asked.
Dash looked at George, “What? Did I say something wrong?” She asked.
“It’s not that you said anything wrong.” George said. “It’s that I was trying to get your attention when I yelled at you. I thought you were just part of the dream.”
Dash blinked. “Seriously?” She said.
“Yeah.” George said. “It’s really weird.”
Dash and George both looked up at the sky. Relaxing.
It was unlike Dash to just sit and relax. Normally she’d be out in the sky practicing her moves for the Wonderbolts, her favorite flying group. But, she enjoyed relaxing this one time next to George. It was almost as if…
“Dash.” George said, “I know we’ve just met and all, but.”
Dash looked at him. “Yeah?” She asked.
“I just wanted to ask you…How did you even react to the dream?” George asked.
Dash blushed slightly, George wasn’t looking, so she didn’t try to hide it.
“Maybe the dream was trying to tell us something?” Dash said.
“I wouldn’t doubt it at this point.” George said. “I just don’t see why you’d be crying. You don’t seem like the crying type.”
“I could be sensitive whenever I wanted to.” Dash said. “While I may act all tough, I still have feeling on the inside.”
“That’s true…” George said, slowly falling asleep.
“Of course it’s true…” Dash said, slowly losing her focus as she was slowly falling asleep too.
George looked at Dash straight in the eyes, and smiled, not even realizing what he was doing. He was already half asleep at this point.
Dash looked at George in the eyes, she blushed a bit.
George had fallen asleep, leaving dash half asleep.
Dash scooted closer to George. She hadn’t realized what she did, once she laid her head on top of George, she had fallen asleep. She had small feelings for him, those dreams she had laid a new perspective on how she saw George.
So here I was again. In the black room.
Did I fall asleep again? What about Dash? Did she fall asleep too? Last I saw her, she was looking right at me before I fell asleep. What did she really feel about me? I had so many questions, but I knew this dream wouldn’t answer them. I only hoped Dash hadn’t been experiencing the same dream as I am right now.
I ran off to Dash, still unable to move. I assume I’ll get to see more now.
“Dash…Are you okay?” I asked, being the second time I asked this already, I knew what was going to happen.
She was sobbing, just like last two times. She looked up, and tried fighting her tears again. Then she looked at me. I noticed her blushing again. Then she hugged me. This third dream confirmed that it was trying to tell me something. Or at least show me of what would be.
“Thanks for always being there for me, George…” Dash said, hugging me tighter.
“Dash, you know I’ll always be here for you.” I said.
This was it, would I get to see more of what would happen?
Dash looked at me. “I know…Now I finally understand.” She said.
“Hm?” I said, “Understand what?”
“That…I love you…” Dash said, “I finally understand how I felt about you.”
“Dash…” I said. Suddenly curious of what was gonna happen next.
“All this time I felt weird when I was around you, ever since I helped you learn how to fly.” Dash said, “I’ve secretly loved you, I didn’t even know it until now…”
I was really hoping the dream wouldn’t end so soon, and if Dash was still here too, she probably would be just as curious as I am.
Dash looked at me, and pressed her lips against mine. She was kissing me.
I still didn’t have any voluntary movement. At first I felt shocked, then all of a sudden I closed my eyes, and I started following along.
If it wasn’t this dream making me feel that way. I could’ve said I didn’t enjoy that that kiss… But, I actually felt it. And I surprisingly enjoyed it. This time the dream allowed me to at least control how I felt.
Did this mean…I’m in love with Dash? Yet I hardly know her, I’ve only known her for like a day and a half.
After what felt like two minutes, I broke the kiss, still unable to move or talk. I opened my eyes, Dash was blushing, more than the last time I saw her.
Dash opened her eyes, she looked at me, and smiled. I wasn’t sure if she enjoyed the kiss as much as I did. If the dream allowed me to control how I felt, then it most likely did the same for her.
“I love you too…” I said. This dream lasted longer than both of the dreams have, is this cause I fell asleep next to Dash?
She smiled, and nuzzled into my chest. It looked like she was falling asleep on me.
I smiled, and laid back, letting Dash get more comfortable.
After that. Everything vanished. I saw everything that was gonna happen. Though I was still curious about the whole thing.
Here I was, lying down in the dark room. I got up, and I saw Dash in the distance.
“George!” She yelled.
“Dash?” I yelled.
She looked like she was gonna say something, but the room got bright again. The dream was ending. I closed my eyes to see if I could stay in the dream a bit longer.
When I opened them, the room was dark again, and Dash was gone.
“Very smart of you to close your eyes.” A voice said, apparently behind me.
I turned around, and I saw…someone.
“Who…who are you?” I asked.
“In a way, I’m you.” He said, “Well, at least. I’m the fragment of your memory that Twilight was able to recover somehow.”
“You mean that spell worked?” I asked.
He nodded, “Also, you might want to look at what’s going on outside the dreamscape.”
“What? How would I do that?” I asked.
“It’s your mind, George. Think about it.” He said.
He slowly faded away, it looked like he slowly turned into smoke, and the smoke went all around me. I coughed a bit and inhaled the smoke.
I could feel more of my memories coming together. But it wasn’t everything I needed. At least I could remember a few things.
…That’s when I noticed something. When I used to talk to myself, I never thought I’d actually talk to myself in person. At least I have some memory, just the ones I need for the moment.
I didn’t want to take too long, since that fragment of my memory said I’d should see what was going on. I thought about the view outside the dream, and suddenly the black room matched all my surroundings. I could see what was going on in my sleep now.
Dash woke up, blushing. She looked at George, who was also blushing a bit.
She was surprised she fell asleep right next to George, her head even lying on top of him. Though at the same time, something told her to. She enjoyed the nap, but she was worried he would wake up and see her like this. She already knew he probably would’ve experienced the same dream as her, which made her more nervous.
“That dream…It really changed the way I look at you George.” She said, knowing he was still asleep to not hear it.
Dash leaned closer to him, still blushing, and kissed him on the cheek.
George blushed a bit more than he was, and smiled.
Dash flew off before George could wake up and see her the way she was. She still didn’t know how she felt yet, she’d need to wait for that moment to happen in real life before she could finally know she was in love with him. She enjoyed that kiss, even if it was a dream. She had a feeling it was something that was gonna happen in the future, she was just waiting for it to happen.
“I hardly know who he is…” She said, “But I still have these feelings…I need to get to know him better before I start something…”
I looked in shock. Dash kissed me in the cheek, this dream changed the way she looked at me. Did we both fall in love with each other?
When she flew away, I wanted to yell at her, but I knew she wouldn’t had heard me, since I was still in the dreamscape.
Guess it’s time to work my way up to Dash…But, how am I gonna explain my memories to anypony…One minute I’m human, I get zapped with lightning or something, and now I’m a pony. It was thanks to the first dream I was able to walk, though. Bah, I even feel like I’m used to being a pony.
Well, here I go…
