A Lonesome Dreamscape

"Luna!" Celestia cried, through a cracking voice and utter shock from seeing her beloved sister up and walking so soon. "I knew you would you be alright, Lulu." She fought back tears as she enveloped Luna in her gold magic and forced the blue mare into her waiting embrace, almost squeezing the life right out of her.

"I had begun to think the worst had happened to you..." Celestia let go of her younger sibling, fighting off tears of joy. "But I always new you would come back from where ever it is you left me to."

"But of course, sister. I would never leave your side." Luna felt an all-over tingling sensation that traveled down her spine giving her a shiver. Her horn began to glow a radiant light blue. "Just not alone, dear sister." She said with a smirk as she hid behind Celestia for an unknown reason.

"What do you mean, 'not alone' Lulu-" Before she had time to finish asking her question, she was cut off by a sparkling white light that was emanating from the floor of the throne room. The light began to grow into a brilliant spectacle, sending sparks flying forth from the ground.

My body felt like it was being torn apart then tossed in every direction known to man, when I was suddenly put back together all at once and my feet hit solid ground. 'Finnnnnnaly' I thought as I could feel a warm sensation growing all over as I was brought back to the world as a whole.

My feet were the first to start to appear out of thin air, next my legs, arms and torso and finally my head as I looked up and saw a faint white glow shoot out sparkles on the top of my hair.

"Coooooooooooooool." This castle was awesome! Beautiful stained glass windows with characters of all sorts depicting numerous battles and triumphs decorated the entire throne room. And a huge golden throne sat dead center in the room, with a white pony, kind of just staring at me- OH MY GOD NO!

"Owwww," I let loose a scream of agony as I was tackled to the ground by none other than the princess of the night herself. Ok, I have to admit that was a good one. She stood almost too perfectly behind her sister where I actually couldn't even see a hoof out of place then leaped straight over her with her wings flared and took me out... well played, Luna. Well played.

"Come on, Luna. At least give me a little warning the next time you do that." I pretended to scold her as I stroked her mane and smiled as she giggled quietly while I played with her plush ears and strands of her sapphire hair.

"Mhmmph." I looked up and saw Celestia coughing into a hoof, 'Oh shit, right.' A large alicorn stood awkwardly next to the throne, with snow white fur and a golden crown that sat atop her head. That's when it hit me. This is her sister! I came to the realization and opted to simply lay there with the giggling mess of Luna, snugly wrapped around me.

"Hey Celestia! How's it going??" I said as I stood up, Luna not even letting go (which made this all the harder) and choosing to cling to me for dear life as I made my way over to her sister. "I'm Seth, good to finally meet you." I said with a warm but insanely huge smile. (how could I not be smiling this much from the sheer amount of d'aw and the fact that I'm actually in a different world?!) I bowed as best I could for a moment, almost toppling over from the extra weight. I extending my hand towards her hoof that was twiddling with her others.

Celestia was astounded by how blunt and informal he was towards her. Simply not caring that she was a princess or ruler of the entire land; he no doubt already knew this of course. She loved how open he was being with her on their first meeting. Oh, yes. She's going to like this one, indeed.

"Hehehehahaha.... I'm glad. I'm glad to finally meet the one my sister has become so attached too... literally." She said as she extended her hoof and shook my hand with what I would like to call 'an absolute shit ton of vigor'. (Seriously, I think my arm just went limp...) She laughed as she couldn't take her eyes off the site of Luna, who was still securely fastened around me.

"And it's an honor to meet you, Celestia. Luna's told me so many kind things about you."

"Oh she has, has she? Well she hasn't been able to stop her mouth from flapping endless stories about how lovely and oh, how did she put it? I think it was 'The best bucking pony Equestria will ever have the honor of having in its presence'."

Wow... I felt kind of embarrassed. "Oh, please." I said waving an arm about. "I'm nothing special." I looked down to the new appendage I had and flicked her ear. " This here. This is what's special." I smiled down to the extra bundle of d'awww I had wrapped tightly around my midsection.

I grabbed Luna's sides and gave her a chance to let go. "Now Luna, I'm only going to say this once. Let go, so I can talk to your sister without loosing every other breath. It's not like I'm going anywhere anytime soon."

"Nuh-uh." She said as she latched on even tighter.

"Come on, Lulu. This is much too childish for you." Celestia added, hoping to coax her off of me.

"Never ever, ever!" She said in the most adorable kids voice possible.

Hnnnng!

"You've brought this on yourself, then." I said as I was about to start tickling the absolute fuck out of her till she was begging for me to stop, when my hand developed a golden glow. I looked at Celestia with confusion.

"I have a better idea." She said as she walked over to me and leaned down towards Luna's ear. (Oh sweet mother of god, her face is sooo close to my crotch, this isn't even funny anymore)

"Ooooh Luna. If you don't let go of him, I'm going to start telling him all those... well, more 'secret' things we discussed when we were waiting his arrival~." Secret? What does she mean secret?

"You wouldn't..." Luna's eyes were still closed and she was still holding on tight, but her tone was one seething with venom.

"I don't know~. I quite liked that one thing you mentioned about wearing a saddle and letting him rid-"

"SISTER!!" Luna let go and tackled Celestia to the ground, a comical dust cloud forming, and rolling around as I heard Luna screaming about 'how it was their secret' while Celestia was saying 'It was her fault for not letting go in the first place'.

This went on for a good 10 minutes... Jesus, sibling rivalry is hardcore in this world. I just sat there and watched as they finally got tired enough to fall backwards, their hind-hooves idly kicking at each other as they panted for air and let out little 'eh's' and 'meh's'. That was just sad, I was expecting an all out brawl (what? Their god damn goddesses I'm pretty sure they can handle it) but it was just a scuffle. The guards didn't pay attention to what they were doing... in fact the guards are actually playing Go Fish. Meh, might as well.

I walked over to them and sat down with my legs crossed, they looked up and shuffled the deck, dealing me into the game.

"Got any kings?" I asked the guardspony I came to know as Flash Sentry.

"Nope, go fish. Got any three's?"

"Damn. Yeah, here ya go." He smiled and took the card, finishing our fourth game of Go Fish. "So, do they just like, do this all the time?"

"Yuuup." He said to me as he placed his pair down. "They kind of just buck around when their behind the doors so no pony can see what their really like. Works, too."

"Huh. So their pretty much children and all you do is watch them?"

"Sure, why not. Easier than saying if we don't than they barge through the doors of the castle and run rampant throughout the entire building, destroying almost everything and that if we don't stop them from doing so, we loose our jobs. Also, the whole 'they're actually just foals in the body of a mare thing' is kept pretty tight lipped around here for fear of not being taken seriously as the "powerful and benevolent rulers of Equestria". He waved his hooves around in a dramatic way, nothing but sarcasm coming off him making me laugh at his silly motions. Looks like they kind of just got used to this shit.

"Hey, I think they're done now." I said as I saw Celestia tipping her crown from its lopsided angle and patting down some of her mane that was a little messed up. Luna got up right away and sauntered over to me, slightly nudging her sister as she went by, making her crown fall off and hit the floor.

"Huaaah....Not for long." Flash said, not even bothering to look away from the card game.

"Lulu~ I think you forgot to tell him about how much you like to be te~easssed~." Yup, not over.

"THAT'S IT!" Luna said, charging up her horn for a spell of some sorts.

"Uh... guys? What' she doing?" A little concern for my own well being popping up.

They looked up and sighed deeply. "Color changing spell... Oh noooo! Look out you're majesty, there's a spell coming your way." He said in the most cynical and dead tone possible.

"Aw! you bastard, how'd you get 21?!" Guess they changed to blackjack when I looked away.

"All in the hoooooves." he said as he began collecting his hefty pot of...gold. GOLD?! "Hey Seth, you in? This is gunna be a while." He pointed to Celestia who was now a deep shade of sea-foam green.

"Yup, I'm in." I sat back down and continued playing cards with the guards, as we heard shriek after shriek coming from behind us.

Hahaha, Luna's pink! and with tiny ass wings! Niiice, Celestia.

As if she could tell what I was thinking, or she just heard me laughing at the state she was in, Luna slowly turned her head back to me and tilted it slowly. "You think this funny, Seth?"

"Say no, say no, say no!" Flash shook me while shout-whispering this to me. The fear in his eyes...

"Uhm, Yes?" Bad move.

"Run. Just run." Flash told me as he picked up the cards and slowly made his wave over to Celestia with a bucket of water; pouring it onto her, and grabbing a towel to dry her off. "No, bro. Seriously. Run for it." He started idly walking towards the doors and pushed them open, Luna getting closer and closer every step she took...is her horn glowing?

"Holy shit!" I yelled as I jumped out of the way of an incoming bolt of magic. "Luna, what the hell?" TURN, TURN, TURN! My brain screamed at me. I turned towards the wall where her magic hit and-

"Is that a rubber duck?" No joke, she turned a brick in the wall into a fucking duck! "I'M OUT!" I screamed as I ran past Flash and out into the halls of the castle, Luna hot on my trails.

"Told him to run, Shouldn't have hesitated." He said as he closed the doors and picked up his spear, standing next to Celestia's throne; where she was having a difficult time untangling a knot in her mane. He sighed once more and walked up the steps, grabbing the brush from her magical grasp with his hoof and yanking on her mane quite roughly.

"Ow! That hurts you know!" Celestia began to whine.

"Oh what ever. This is your own fault, so deal with it." Another good yank and the knot was out and her mane floated again with its ethereal wind.

"Hmmph... Fine." Celestia pouted, while sitting uncomfortably on the throne.

"You two are foals..." He mumbled to himself as he stepped down the few stairs leading to the throne and took his place on her side again.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh!" I screamed as I ran through the halls of the castle I just appeared in, not 30 minutes ago. The guards and nobles at every turn, staring wide eyed at me; and probably the psychotic princess galloping after me, shooting random spells from her horn. "Holy fuuuuuuuck. That was a bolt of lightning for christ sakes!"

"Then you saw the point entirely!?" Oh gawwd, she's trying to kill me!

So many twists and turns in this castle its like seeing the exact same hall or door a million times over. Wait... this is the same hall; see? That's where she tried to shoot a fucking freeze ray at you, dipshit! Oh my god brain, your right! Quick, take a different route. Evasive maneuver Alpha, dingo 9c!

I ran as fast as I could and jumped into the only door I could see that was open and locked it behind me, not caring if she got through; I'm getting the fuck outa here. I sprinted through the room and found another door that seemed to lead to a courtyard. Fuck it, it's outside and away from the evil mare.

I booked it through the courtyard and found the entrance/exit to the palace. I stopped to take a little breather. Bad choice...

"SEEEEETHHH!" Luna bellowed as she lit her horn up and charged after me.

RUN BITCH, RUNNNNN! my brain yelled at me, encouraging me to sprint faster through an unknown place than I ever had before.

"HAULT! What are you strange cret-" NOPE, running straight past this guy and down the staircase. Luna's literally 10 feet behind me, shooting random spells all over the place.

"Holy fuck!" That was a close one, it whizzed right past my ear! And also made an unfortunate, rich-looking pony get the chicken pox's. "Ahahahaha, that was awesome! Good try Luna." I yelled back as I was twisting and turning, trying to dodge her never ending shit storm of pranks.

This town is actually insanely huge, and damn pristine too. I'm mean sure, all the ponies look like absolute snobs and they're all running in terror because of me, but damn if this city doesn't look sweet. Shit! A stray bolt of magic missed me by a centimeter as I turned and ran into a random coffee shop. Hoping the patron will excuse my human form and let me hideout.

"Uh...The buck are you?" Maybe.

"Human. Name's Seth. Running from Princess Luna cause she wont stop trying to shoot me with prank magic. Hideout here may I???" I said in between gasps of breath.

"Sure... Seth. Just buy something and you can stay as long as you want." Every world, they still want you to buy something.

"Yeah, ok, uh. Get me a large black coffee with 12 sugars and a doughnut." I threw what I kind of just assumed was their currency across the counter, where he picked up the gold pieces I won from Flash, and placed them in the register.

"That was worth like 20 coffees, but thanks." He passed me my coffee and doughnut as I huddled on the the ground under a table just below the window of the shop. "So... Are you crazy, or is princess Luna really trying to mess with you." He asked like even didn't believe me. Bastard!

"No I'm not crazy, haven't you heard the screams of terror from the locals running in a panic? Shes hit like 10 of them now instead of me." I said as I pointed out the window and stood up to check where the little prankster was.

"Well. That was a bad move, then." He told me as I looked at him for a second then back out the window. Where Luna was galloping full speed... at the window...

"Ahhhh!" I bolted out the back door of the shop just as I heard the window shatter then magic started humming and it was instantly repaired. The guy didn't seem to care in the slightest. SERIOUSLY? Has everyone just got used her shit, already?!

I sprinted down the streets, hoping to get as far away as possible when I came across a park and ran straight into it. I stopped once I reached a tree, and leaned against it. God damn, I need to jog more or something.

I could see Luna coming at break neck speeds, but I can't move anymore. "I can't do it... I can't run anymore."

I held my hands up in defiance, bracing for the damage that was about to be done...

Nothing happened. I opened my eyes and Luna was no where to be seen. This can't be good. As I was about to take a step to try get the fuck out of here before she came back, I was drenched in an actual tsunami of water. And there the little prank-pirncess was, Sitting comfortably on the tree above me, laughing her flank off... As I was washed away and slammed into the wall of a dinner, quite roughly.

"Ow..." My body was crammed up against the side of a building, with my arms and legs under and over me. Didn't know I was this flexible. The water finally drained into the sewers and let me get up from my painful confinement. Standing up and looking into the dinner, every pony dropped what they were doing and gawked at me. Hmm... I sense something. Something along the lines of "they're all going to scream monster and panic." Ya, sounds about right.

I looked them all in the eyes then waved and smiled. None of them smiled back or anything but hell, better than panicking and flipping the fuck out. I started strolling my way back to the coffee shop I was hiding in earlier, Luna flying above me, laughing the entire time.

We entered the shop and I sat down at the counter, Luna sitting beside me. "Hey, again. Can I get a large black coffee and 32 sugars? And maybe a towel?" I said as politely as I could, while having Luna playing with my soaked hair; throwing it around, and pretending to dry it by blowing on it.

"Hehehe, you should have seen your face! Twas indeed priceless!" She said as another wave of laughter fell apon her.

"Yes, Luna. I get it, it was funny." I grabbed my coffee and chugged the thing down. (I need more energy or I'm gunna pass-out.

"Awwe, is Seth upset because we are just so good at pranks?" She said as she gave me a kiss on the cheek and walked out the shop.

"Did... Did princess Luna just kiss you?" The ponies eyes were wide as hell.

"Yup. Kinda her boyfriend or what ever you want to call it."

"I-I see. Well, It's just we don't exactly see her with well anypony and this is kind of weird."

"Thanks for the compliment." I said as I got up and left, running slowly to catch up to Luna.

We made our way back to the castle; Luna not once, stopping her giggle-storm due to the sound my shoes made as the water was trying to leak out of them. They were making a 'squelching' sound every step I took, which she found down right hilarious. Getting real tired of your shit, Luna.

We got inside the castle walking down the halls, noticing that every guard was glaring daggers at us as we passed them. Ohhh, right. They're the ones who have to clean up the singe marks and turn the rubber ducks, flowerpots and random popcorn back into the foundation and walls of the castle...

"Sorry about that..." I said sheepishly to one of the guards wiping down the side of the wall where a large burn hole was.

"Pffft. Yeah right." He said as he went back to scrubbing. Fine, asshole. Was trying to apologize but fuck you, too budday.

We got back to the doors of the throne room, the guards opening them for us as we entered. Oh, look. Celestia's all perfect and composed again. She cleans up fast.

"Have you calmed down enough to let us speak, Lulu?"

"Don't push it, Tia..." Luna retorted, eyes still burning with sibling fury.

"Ok, ok. Everyone just stop this. Lets sit down and have a chat with each other, I just got transported to a magical world of ponies and the first thing you two did was start fighting and chase me out of the castle into the streets of..."

"Canterlot!"

"Canterlot. Right, thanks Flash." He waved at me from his position next to the throne. "I just got chased through Canterlot, screaming like a girl and jumping into random shops to escape being turned pink with green polka dots like that surprised mare out on the street." I stopped mid-rant and high-hooved Luna. "Then when I come back from all that nonsense, you two almost immediately start going at it again. I'm from another world for god sakes, lets ask each other some questions! I'm dying to know so many things I think my brain is going to burst if I hold them in any longer."

They both looked down, ashamed that they were being so childish. Then raised their heads and looked at me.

"Well then, Seth. Ask as many as you wish. We are indeed sorry how foalishly we acted. If there is anything you wish to know that is extremely important to start off with, ask away."

"Good. Cause this is one I've been wondering about for a while now." They looked like they were on the edge of their seats, waiting for my question.

"What's your beer selection?" And that's when I saw the best thing I'm going to see for long ass time. Flash sentry just fucking lost it. He's actually ROFLing, beating the floor with his hoof. Oh ya, total bro right there.
