A Lonesome Dreamscape

I tried.

I tried for an hour before I realized this wasn't going to happen.

I closed my eyes, letting the memories of my old home fly past them. I could see Jake grinning and chugging down a beer as the memory of the other nights entertainment came flooding back. God was that an amazing night. We were able to almost finish a game of booze chess and I did the longest keg stand of my life...

I sighed heavily; too bad that's in the past now. Sure I'm not complaining about having to leave it behind in return for the universes most gorgeous mare, but some things you can't rid of no matter how hard you try.

My eyes opened to the wondrous site of Luna laying next to me, face covered by her flowing mane; sapphire hair with strands of stray silver blocking her from my gaze.

I couldn't sleep again. Before, when I had first met her and the days that proceeded I was able to sleep due to the fact I was spending all the time that was my 'dream' with her. Talking and swapping stories to one another, slowly growing closer and beginning the start of my new life...

But here. When I lay beside her, staring down at her beauty as she sleeps peacefully and soundly, I'm stuck to the fact that I'm still an insomniac and will never get anything more than a restless sleep endured with the never ending fun of having to wonder and think about what others might be doing; what they might be thinking of what happened to me. An alcohol induced coma? Would they really believe that long after the alcohol had left my system and no other signs would point to why I wouldn't wake up or respond to anything they might have done or be doing.

"Hmm. Best not to think about how I'm actually dying in another dimension." I said to the wind that was blowing a soft breeze through the curtains of the balcony and drifted over to me, making me clutch Luna and hold her close as I tried once more to shut my eyes and let sleep creep its way onto my agitated mind.

This is never going to work... I can't even keep my mind away from home for a second when I close these bastards. Not once will the memories stop flowing in an endless stream through my head like a movie playing along with what was once my life...

Why can't I stop? This was all in the past for me now. What was laying and snoring softly in my arms is what my life was about now. My new life, with a new start that will lead to something I could have only hoped would be waiting in my wildest dreams. This is my love. This is my passion. This is where I belong now...

I tried to shake the thoughts of home out of my head and clear them by replacing them with brighter and happy thoughts... Thoughts of Luna... Thoughts of how much she can eat, how much she is still simply a child at heart, but with the charismatic aptitude and personality of a grown mare. I smiled silently to myself as I recalled how much pie she was actually able to eat without even getting sick...

She's a gift of the gods to my pity self. A key left to unlock my future, and always keep with me.

Its been a few hours since she fell into her dreams, leaving me to twiddle about in the bed. Only another three or so hours and in no time at all Celestia will awaken to bring forth then sun and another day of wonder for me. I can't wait to meet more ponies around the town called Ponyville. I was told it was a quaint and small town that would most likely take kindly towards me and offer friendship as if it were a daily thing to meet someone new and befriend them instantly. This world never ceases to amaze me. The kindness I've been shown in the single day here has been equal to years back on Earth.

I can't stay like this... I need to move and be active if I'm stuck being awake for the night. I got up from the bed as slowly and quietly as I could, wanting to avoid waking Luna at all costs. Successful, I made my way to the balcony, staring out over the landscape.

"Stunning." The world around me was much brighter than the world I was used to. The air was dramatically cleaner and fresher, the grass was greener, there was nature and life at every turn. It was a real utopia... Back on my own world, everyone trying to 'improve' what was already perfect. It wasn't that I hated my race with a burning passion or anything, it's just I wasn't exactly fond of how it was turning out.

But I digress... This is in a world I will never return too. A world doomed to fall sooner than it should.

"Mmm? Why are you out of beeeed?" I heard Luna call from the other room, extremely sleepily as she let out a cute little yawn, rubbing her eye with a hoof.

"Oh it's nothing. Just couldn't sleep is all." I informed her as I walked back to the side of the bed, lifting the blankets up and crawling back under the covers.

"That's... Not nothing, Seth..." She spoke as she began drifting back into slumber.

"Happens all the time, hun. Can't control it no matter what I do... It's alright, go back to sleep..." I pulled the blankets farther up to her as she snuggled into my side and whispered something in my ear.

"You're never alone... I can always be by your side to help..." I looked down to her peaceful muzzle, and heard a slight snore. Out like a light...

"I know Luna... I know." I kissed her forehead and watched a smile creep onto her features as she lay there, hopefully having a wonderful dream. That's all I want for her... Happiness; for the rest of her days.

The next couple of hours flew by as I watched Luna sleep. I can't help but stare at her lovingly, she seems so peaceful and has a goofy smile on her lips throughout the entire night. I looked up from my mare and held up a hand to block the coming beam of sunlight, showing Celestia was clearly up and did her job of rising the sun and welcoming in another bright, sunny day for all her subjects.

My shuffling must have woken Luna because I felt her shift her weight slightly, moving into more of a sitting position. I sat back against the head board and looked at Luna, before she gave my a nice wet kiss and winked playfully at me. "Is it really morning already? We feel as if we are more tired than should be for this time of day." Hahaha, she's gunna love this answer.

"Well we kinda used up quite a bit of energy last night, you know?" I told her, seeing her cheeks turn red and her eyes not daring to look into mine. Wow, is she actually getting flustered? She was so aggressive last night this seemed like a totally different mare.

"W-we suppose t-thou a-are right..." Oh my god she is so adorable with that stutter!

I wrapped my arms around her and placed her in between my legs."You don't have a clue how cute you are when you do that. Like Adawwwwwable!" I said as I gave her a peck on the lips and watched her turn a bright shade of pink while trying to hide behind her mane, even though that's kind of impossible considering I'm right in front of her. but that doesn't matter, because she just looks all the cuter when she's shy.

"So. What are the plans for today?" I asked her as I let go of her and let her sit there thinking about anything she might have planned and when we were supposed to head to Ponyville.

"Well It seemed like sister wanted us to meet with her about the arrangements, so why not head to breakfast? I'm sure she's already there waiting for us as she crams down her morning cake." Woah, woah woah. 'Morning' cake. Does she have multiple throughout the fucking day or something?

'I wonder if all princesses have an addiction to sweets and pastry?' I asked myself as I got out of bed with Luna, Putting my clothes back on that had been discarded around the room, from last nights romp.

I reallllly hope that happens again soon. Like, damn that was skill with her t- OH YA! I can bust Celestia's flank about that now!

I pulled my socks and shoes on as fast I could, running for the door and almost forgetting about Luna.

Right. That would have ended badly. "Ready to go?" I asked her.

"You may feel the need to go without a shower or changing clothes, but we do not." She said to me as she trotted into her bathroom and turned on the shower, waiting a few seconds before hoping in. Okay, what ever. How long will she really be? It's just a shower.

Two. Fucking. Hours.

I've been sitting here patiently waiting for her to get out of the shower and dry herself off so we can go, but I don't think that's going to happen any time soon. Jesus Christ! I got up from the bed and made my way over to the shower door, seeing the steam silhouette of her laying down in the shower, hoof moving interestingly fast... No. Couldn't be, I thought to myself.

I put my ear up the door and heard quiet and hushed moans from inside the steam filled chamber. She's fucking clopping in the shower while I've been waiting out there for hours... Yeah no. This is stopping. As I reached out to push the door open and reveal what she was doing she let out a high-pitched squeal of delight and the water was turned off.

I stood there next to the sink which was directly across from the shower, waiting for her to step out.

She did so, with a blissful smile adorning her face before she saw me waiting there. "S-s-seth! What...I mean... Why...?!"

"Hoof a little wetter than it should be?" I asked her with an eyebrow raised.

"W-we... What?... Uhm.. did you hear me?" She said, obviously embarrassed.

"Only when I got close enough to the door for my ear to touch the shower." I said with a slight grin.

"We-we were r-remembering last night..." She told me as she looked away with rosy cheeks and a far off look on her face.

"Don't feel bad about it, Luna. I actually liked the little squeal you ended with." I said to her in a husky tone as I got close enough to her to press my mouth to hers and gave her an extremely tough kiss, loving the way her eyes popped out then became half lidded as she pushed into it. I pulled back when she started to try and let her tongue snake its way past my teeth.

"Noooope. You kept me waiting for 2 and a half hours, so get you're flank moving and out the door." I said as I patted her firm ass, watching as she walked out the bathroom, swaying her hips; obviously knowing I was staring at her as she left the room as she made her way to her dresser, placing her silver hooflets on then getting her tiara from the bust of her head atop the dresser. She looked at me and nodded her head to signal she was ready, and being the gentleman I am, I held the door open for her as we left her room; the guards stopping me and brohoofing me as one pulled me to the side.

"Dude. Heard everything last night." Oh fuuuuuck.

"Heh, sorry about that fellas. We'll keep it down next time." I said rubbing the back of head and quickly catching up with Luna at the bottom of the stairs.

We made the various twists and turns to the dinning room and entered the large feasting hall. Come on... Does every fucking princess have a serious obsession with desert?!

Celestia was mowing down an entire birthday cake while she was reading the morning paper. Whatever, got more important things to attend to now.

She looked up from her paper and said,"Good morning you twooo." With an eerie smile as she watched our every move as we sat down for breakfast.

"Uh, good morning to you to Celestia..." She's really staring at me creepily.

"Have a fun night?" Oh shit...

"Yes. Yes we did, sister." Luna told her in a slightly aggravated tone while crossing her hooves and glaring at her.

"I was simply asking a question, Lulu. No need to be so forward with me. You got behind Seth all night, why not be kinder with your sister?!" And with that she let loose a torrent of laughter, almost choking on a bite of cake. Good. Hope you do choke...

"SISTER!!" well fuck, that was a royal voice if I ever heard one.

"Calm down, Lulu. Don't be so loud, the castle already heard enough of you screaming a few hours ago!" Fuuuuck you, Celestia. Aight, time to fuck around with her then.

"Oi, Celestia." She looked up at me, with tears of joy running down her face. "Is it true you taught Luna that thing she can do with her tongue?" Luna's face was already a bright pink from what Celestia was saying but now even the sun princess's cheeks were slightly red, easily showing on her white fur.

"I-I. Y-yes?" She said stuttering her words. Awwe, is Celestia all flustered?

"Awesome. Was just wondering if there's anything else you could show her? I'm sure you a bunch of other techniques that would be wonderful." With this she turned a crimson red and looked down her plate.

"I'll be good now.." Damn straight.

I stared over to Luna, she was grinning widely with still pink cheeks and half lidded eyes; looking right at me and licking her lips. Oh come on, were at the table and its like 9am!

"Now, on to more important matters! How am I getting to Ponyville and what the hell is it like? Also what was your pupils name again? Twilight, Spergle?"

"Sparkle. Twilight, Sparkle. She's the resident librarian and the element of magic."

"Element of magic?" I asked extremely confused.

"She'll tell you all about the elements during your little study session." Mmmk.

"And how am I exactly getting there?"

"Oh I'm sure Luna can teleport you both there. you said you weren't going anywhere without her and I'm sure she has enough power to make the jump there and back at least a few times over by now."

"Very true sister. We have had quite an amount of power return to us over the last few weeks and have been able to gather and ready the amount needed for this trip." Well shit, looks like they were both already preparing or something.

"Sounds great. So, when are we leaving?" I asked as I snatched an apple from a basket and chomped down on it.

"Whenever you feel the time is right." Hmm... I'll let Luna decide when we should go. She probably has to get ready or some shit.

"Alright. Sounds good, Celestia."

I let Luna finish her morning meal then we walked out into the castle gardens and took a little stroll around til I got completely impatient.

"Can we go now? I reallllly want to see this Ponyville."

"Well of course. We could have left when we finished our meal. But... Do try to be as nice as possible, the ponies in that town tend to over react to the smallest of things. So, be polite and proper once we arrive." Thanks for telling me I'm a brute, hun.

Her horn began to glow and the familiar feeling of being tossed around like a ragdoll came back as the world around us distorted and twisted. I lurched forward when we stopped (almost puking from the feeling) and clutched my stomach, standing back up. Sweeeeet! This place looks like a medieval town, or fuck it, even an Amish hideaway! (Not too sure why that excites me, but it does. Deal with it)

Now, I mean this in the most factual way I can. I swear to Satan's black heart, I only took a single step forward before somepony screamed at the top of her lungs.

"IT'S NIGHTMARE MOON!" Some random pony was wailing. "And she has a monster with her! Everypony inside, NOW!" Are you fucking serious mate? All around us, ponies were screaming and running in terror as they pointed their hooves at us, as I shit you not, we just stood there unmoving and watching the shitstorm of the century play out before us.

They started running into their homes boarding the windows and doors up. 'Deh fuck? Where not even moving!' I thought. These ponies are fucked in the head.

"Quick! Hide your foals before Nightmare Moon has a chance to get them!" WHAT?! "Somepony call the royal guards and get the elements of harmony so we can send her back to where she belongs!" Oh hell no did you just say that you little shit.

I ran up to the pony who said this standing over over him as he coward in fear. "Please don't kill me!" He pleaded. I picked the stallion up (which was way harder than I thought it would be) and brought him over to Luna, who was trying her best to fight back the tears that had formed from these bastards cruel words.

I dropped him in front of her. "You seriously think this poor, sad mare would hurt you? The fucking second we arrived, you lot start screaming about how awful and terrifying she is. Do have any idea how much you actually hurt her? She's crying over something as worthless as you lot; ponies who don't even care about one their own rulers." He looked up from his position, his hooves retreating from his eyes, staring at how hard Luna was fighting back her tears even though a few had already begun to trail their way down her cheeks. "Look at her... You've hurt her more than you could ever think, just by saying two sentences... Sure shes made a mistake and through that she was titled 'evil' and 'horrible', but look at her now. All she wants is your damn approval. Give her a chance, or don't, I really don't care what ignorant ponies like you or any other thinks... But clearly she does."

I stepped over the stallion that seemed to looked almost as sad as Luna by this point. His ears back, head hanging low, hooves dropped to the ground. I kneeled down to Luna, wiping the stray tears from her face, gently kissing her and getting a small smile in return. "Just don't judge her from what you've seen in the past... Give her a chance before you condemn her to nothing..."

We walked past the degrading stallion and I followed Luna as she guided me to Twilight's house/Library.

"Thank you..." She said quietly, barely audible enough to hear.

"Don't thank me Luna... She should know anything they say is a lie when they talk like that. Never believe a word of it, You're a wonderful mare, with nothing but a bright future ahead..." She nuzzled my hand and smiled dearly to me.

"You truly are my soul mate..." She said just above a whisper as she trotted faster, til we reached a big-ass tree... With windows and a door... And a balcony?

"Golden Oaks Library?" I asked aloud as I read the sign hanging in front of the building...tree...thing.

I looked down to Luna to inquire further but she wasn't beside me anymore. No she had already made her way inside when I was standing out here reading the obvious sign, as the open door would tell me. I walked in, noticing how many huge book- "Princess Luna!" I heard someone scream as they descended the stairs... That went further into the tree? Holy shit, the tree's still alive! Ponies are cool sometimes.

"Indeed, Twilight Sparkle. We have also brought a guest with us. We trust you have received our sisters letter."

"Letter? What letter?" She looked extremely confused, before a small purple- HOLY FUCK A DRAGON! Wait... he's eating a ruby? "Spike, did Princess Celestia send a letter this morning?"

"Not that I know of, Twilig- BURRRP!" A fucking letter just flew out of the fire he burped and Twilight caught it in her magic, beginning to read its contents.

She read it over a few times, her eyes widening until I thought they were going to pop out of her head, she stopped reading, the letter falling to the ground and out of her magic. "A..A..A being... From another... Dimension?" She said incredibly slow.

Luna just nodded her head and Twilight let out the biggest nerd-squeal in the world. "Another Dimension?! Oh my goddess, this is going to be amazing! I wonder what he looks like- Oh! How tall is he? How much does he weigh? What's his planet called- OH OH, whats his main diet?! CAN HE DO MAGIC?"

Holy fuck what have I done... Still though there's only one thing I'm interested in since I got to this place and have been thinking about.

"Did that dragon just burp a letter out of fire?" Annnnd all eyes on me as I stood awkwardly at the front door, staring at Spike.

"Yeah, man. Happens all the time, I get them from Celestia about telling Twi not to worry over little things and about friendship." Well he seems chill as fuck about me. I walked over to the couch he was sitting on, chomping on a ruby as I sat down.

"Sup dude?" I asked as we exchanged the holy bro-fist.

"Nothing really; eating gems, sleeping til noon, making sure Twilight doesn't burn the place down. The usual." First dragon I ever meet and he's a total bro? Fuck ya, Equestria!

"Sounds fun, mate. I've been walking through Ponyville and getting berated as a monster and Luna here, is seen as an evil being who should be banished. Ponies can be such tools sometimes." He just kind of nodded in response, finishing his gem and about to speak.

"Well, you gotta give em some credit. I mean Nightmare Moon did lay waste to Equestria for a while. I'm not saying anything they said or did is rational at all, it's just, they have been through a lot. Did you at least tell em off?"

"Damn straight I did. Stallion almost wet him self."

"Hahahahaha, great. Probably had no idea what you are..." He high-fived me. "Speaking of which. What ARE you?"

Dude, you're having a conversation with a dragon who is pretty much exactly like a bud back home. Yes, brain I know this. Dude... You came here to talk to Twilight and learn about ponies... Yeah, but he's a dragon! Look at Luna and tell me what you think is on her mind.

I turned and looked at Luna... She's facehoofing and shaking her head. Well shit, fine! Back to Twilight...

"I'm a Human. not important right now. So Twilight, I understand you probably have a multitude of questions for me?"

And she's gawking at me... Probably has no idea you would ignore her and go for the dragon. Fuck off brain!

"Uh... Yes, I do." She said skeptically as she pulled out a quill and parchment. "I'd like to start with your name."

"Seth."

"Interesting... Alright, what's your species?"

"Homosapien, Human for short."

"What's your home world called?"

"Earth."

The questions went on and on like this for hours.

"What's your favorite color?" Oh sweet unforgiving Oden... This is the thousandth question shes asked me, I'm sure of it. She has an entire pile of scrolls behind her, with info all over the fucking things...

"Ugh, red." Luna fell asleep about 2 hours ago, and is currently laying with her head in my lap. I would have woken her but I couldn't bare to do it and make her suffer through more of the questions Twilight was asking. Just didn't have the heart to.

I've been sitting on her couch, idly petting Luna's mane the entire time shes been asleep. Twilight finally got skeptical enough to ask the question she would no doubt ask eventually.

"Uh... What's your relationship with... With, Princess Luna?"

"Can you seriously not tell?"

"Well... It seems like you two are rather close..."

"Twilight. I'm dating and in love with Luna. She's the only reason I'm here. Didn't I tell you that when You asked how I got here?"

"You kinda just said 'because of Luna'. Not much to go on there.." She deadpanned.

"Ah, well ya. Luna's my love, and I'm never leaving her side. She's my reason for me ever being truly happy in years... Can't imagine a life without her..." I looked down to Luna, who was smiling as she cracked an eye open and winked at me.

"So... That's the only reason you came here? Luna?" Did you not just hear what I said?

"Yes, Twilight." She wrote down a bunch of shit on the scroll and threw it behind her with the rest.

"Well, I think that's enough for today. We can get back to it tomorrow for you to learn about pony culture... I sort of used up the day..." She smiled sheepishly and yawned.

"Sounds good. Where's Spike at? I kinda want to talk to him for a sec."

"Hmm, I'm not sure. He's probably either in bed or the kitchen. SPIKE!" she yelled upstairs.

"Whaaaaaat." I heard him whine from the bedroom.

"Seth wants to talk to you about something!"

"Fine..." He grumbled as he made his way down and into the living room. "Yeah, man?" He asked while rubbing his eyes with a hand.

"You sir, are the awesomest creature I've met!" He gave me one of those 'Are you fucking kidding me?' looks and clapped his hands together.

"Thank you. May I go back to sleep now?"

"Yeah, yeah. Get back up stairs." I said dejectedly. What? First dragon I meet and I'm not gunna tell him how fucking awesome he is? Yeah right. Don't care if he's tired, could have at least woken up a little and been like "Oh dude, don't worry I know. But thanks for the obvious complement, Twilight never understands just how truly epic I am and you should totally take me with you so I can be your dragon instead." What, I want a fucking dragon, okay?

"That's all?" Twilight asked in a confused and a little 'wtf man' tone.

"He's a dragon. I've never seen a dragon. Always wanted one. So yes, that's it." I said as I looked away from Twilight.

"Riiiight. Well, I guess I'll see you both tomorrow then?" She said as she got up and walked over to the door.

"Yeah." I poked Luna, and flicked her ear trying to get her up before I whispered in her ear. "Come on, Luna, time to get up."

"No." Really?

"Come onnnn."

"Nuh-uh." Twilight stared awkwardly at the princess refusing to get out of my lap. God damn it...

I leaned in and stroked her ear, as I whispered. "Remember , Luna. The faster you get up, the faster I get 'up'." She shot her eyes open and flew over to the door before I could blink, standing there like she was now waiting for me.

"Well? I thought you wanted to leave?" she said in an innocent yet playful tone.

"Yeah..." I got up from my seat, ignoring the creepy smile I was getting from Twilight and walked out the door with Luna.

"Sometimes you're just plain mean." I said to her as she quivered her bottom lip, mane half across her face as she looked up to me with big eyes.

"But... But I thought you said I was good mare..." Hnnnng!

"You're cute, and sexy at the same time... HOW?" She smiled at my antics as I flung my arms around.

"Practice~." Fuck you, Luna...

"What ever, can we go back to the castle now? I don't feel like staying in this place any longer. The ponies were rude enough during the day, I'd hate to see what they're like at night."

"Yes... They did seem more dreadful than our last visit..." She looked down and lit up her horn, readying for the teleportation, when a small foal ran up to us, not scared or frightened what so ever.

"My daddy was mean to Princess Woona, so I came to apologize!" Oh my god, she said Woona! "He's a big stupid head, sometimes. Please don't be angwee with him!" She said as her eyes grew to incredible size and cuteness. I couldn't help it.

"Awwwwe! You're so adorable!" I picked her up and held her in an arm as I spoke to her. "Don't worry about a thing, I couldn't stand to be angry with anypony who had a cute daughter like you!" I said as poked her belly and she let out a giggle.

"Yay!! Daddy's not in twouble!" If she says anything else I might have a heart-attack. "Thanks Mr. Tall person! You're weal nice. And sawwy again for daddy, Princess Woona!" She said as she started running back to her house.

I just stood there, clenching my chest. "I think I'm going to cry. She was so fucking cute!!!!"

"Yes, yes she was. But she might be in hearing distance, so don't swear dear..." Aw, fuck. She better have not heard that. "Alright, are you ready to go now?"

"Definitely. If we stay any longer I might want to follow her home and snatch her up." Luna just shook her head at me with a caring smile on her lips as she charged her horn and made us vanish back to Canterlot.

Meanwhile back in Ponyville

"So, are you hunger for dinner Sweetie?" Her caring farther asked.

"I'm FUCKING hungry!" She said sweetly and innocently.

"WHAT?!?!" her parents screamed as she began eating her food with a smile; not a care in the world.
