To the world of equestria
Dream or Memory?
Previous ChapterNext ChapterAfter the party died down most of the ponies started leaving, most of which waved a goodbye to me which i returned. Pinkie though was still dancing even without music, i couldn't help but chuckle. The only ponies who stayed were applejack, who was helping clean up, and the DJ, who was packing her stuff. I end up going up to the mare with the sunglasses.
"Hello. Do you need any help?" I ask, making the DJ's ears pop up and look straight at me. But she quickly adjusts her glasses and puts a slight smirk on.
"That'd be great thanks! Aren't you the pony who just came to ponyville? Well welcome!" The pony says brightly, i couldn't help but see a little Rainbowdash from this pony.
"Thank you, yeah i'm leaf nice to meet you" i reply holding my hoof out to shake. Which ends up getting jolted around by the mare.
"Nice to meet ya! I'm Vinyl Scratch, or as most ponies know me as DJPON3." She says, it definitely seemed like a dj name. I help Vinyl clean and pack all of her gear. Usually just unplugging cords and winding them up. I didn't mind, Vinyl was more than willing to chat. I end up hearing about all the places she's been and about her friend Octavia Philoharmonica. After which once it was all packed up i showed her out. When i looked back i saw most of the rest cleaned up and Applejack already left. It was just me, Spike and Twilight.
That brang the thought that jolted out of my head at the start of the party. Where will i stay? At the moment i was homeless, no where to go. I couldn't ask Twilight to let me stay. I already owe so much to Twilight that letting me stay would push the limits. So i didn't ask, though it seemed Twilight, wh was picking up the last of the streamers, read my mind.
"Well, do you know where you're gonna go? Now that you are able to trot around town?" Twilight ask, i can only shrug in reply.
"I don't know where. I just came here with no money, no supplies. I'm kinda trapped" I say. My reaction seems to get a nice smile out of twilight.
"Ok you can stay here then. It's no problem." Twilight replies, me expecting it lets my humble side take control.
"I can't do that, i already overstayed my welcome. I still have to repay you for what you already gave me" i say, going up to the door.
"Oh don't worry! I was going to let you stay if you help me with some studies at night, spike can't stay up that long and Owliscious can only do so much. And i'll pay you with letting you stay here with me and spike. Deal?" Twilight asks, though i didn't know whk Owliscious is i decide to agree. It's the best i could do for now until i get enough money to get my own home.
"Here let me show you the guest room then, or i guess your room now" twilight says, trotting upstairs opening a door that i couldn't see before. Once both of us were inside i took a good look at the room i'll be living in for a bit. It was quite plain. The wood of the tree was all around going upward toward the leaves. A small bed and a night table with a perfume bottle on top. The sheets were of a night sky with a huge amount of stars flooding it. I expected as much with an almost the same sheet on twilight's bed. A small window with a + shape going through it. The window has a perfect view of the moon rising in the sky, reminding me of my own exaustion from the party, i could see twilight the same way.
"Well...., you must be tired so i'll leave, have a good night" twilight says, walking out of the room and what i guess went to bed. Leaving me to my thoughts and yawns. Before i jumped onto the bed i looked at the perfume. "Beauty mare" the tag read. I just place it back down and lay on the bed, i would've thought of everything that had transpired. Waking up in a middle of a field, bonking into a tree, meeting all of the ponies, i couldn't though, i was too tired and before i could even start thinking i find myself drifting off into sleep.

Grey, all i saw was grey. I find myself sitting somewhere i didn't know, whatever windows were in view were whited out and nothing could be seen through them. It felt like i didn't have control, no, i didn't have control. I tried turning my head, moving my hooves, nothing. I didn't even see my own body. About the only thing i can see is a glowing square in front of me. The rim of the glow grey, like everything else. It seemed like i was in a trance as i stared at the glow, nothing was different. Was this a dream? I couldn't figure out if this was a dream or reality, i had no control to bang my head for feeling. I did feel something, warmth, much warmth. It came from what i thought was my chest and grew throughout my body. I felt my own lips smile and my eyes squint because of it. How could it be a dream? I had feeling, but no control.
While what i guessed was me kept staring at the light slight banging comes from the side. I could finally feel, and see, my head turn. My body turned left, showing me a hallway with a small table, which on top of the table was a small vase, and a plain door. I could hear a sigh, which i guessed was from me, and could see my view jump much higher. I was tall!! It felt like i was flying, i could have been since i couldn't see down. My view started moving toward the door, going up and down as i go. Though to my shock my eyes seemed to dim, it started to get hard to see as my body was closing in from the door. Before my view turned completely black i saw something appear below my view. One word jolted into my head,
It was a hand...
_______________________________________________
The blackness in my eyes began to change, i had no feeling to find myself back in control of my body. The blackness started to dance with glowing white all around. The floor below me turned into a pale blue light. My body was laying on the ground, which is when i first see my control again. I regain my hoofing and look around me. Stars, a night sky was above me with a glowing floor below. It seemed to go endless in every direction, i couldn't figure out where i am. I couldn't finish my sight seeing as a pony appeared in my view, the pony's mane started to flow like there was an unknown wind blowing it. The pony spreads out it's wings, after that it doesn't take me long to figure out who it was.
Princess Luna
Like as if i did it a million times i automatically bow down to the princess trotting up to me. She nods to say to raise up, which i did right away.
"Hello Ne-i mean Leaved Novel, we are sorry for this inconveniece from your dreaming. We have something to say to thou with great importance" Luna says, it takes a second for me to respond because of the odd way of speaking.
"You have something important to say to me?" I ask, i didn't understand what's going on and having a princess interupt your dreams and say you have something important. I'd say that was the only thing to say.
"Yes, and thou shall listen as we do not have much time. You will awaken soon and my sister will need to speak with us. So will thou listen carefully" She says, i nod and she begins to think how to explain. I was anticipating every word that will come out of luna's mouth, not everypony is spoken to in these circumstances. Plus the only thing that came to thought was of my past, it kept nagging at me of who i was, what i did. I was hoping what she would say would help me learn of my past. That was about the only thing that i would accept anyway.
"We know of your amnesia Leaf, or more or less, forgotten memory. We shall say one thing that thou should never forget" luna says, this confirmed one thing, it was about my memory. Which made me anticipate what was to say more. I nod in agreement and she keeps going. Her tone changing to a more soft tone, kind of a whisper.
"What thou has seen before this greeting, it shall be hard to remember at start. As time goes on thou shall remember more of that one vision, and every time shall this vision appear will we interupt, it is our duty to. Though thou shall know the truth of this vision when the time comes. We ask of one thing in thou's greetings with us in future. Thou shall not speak of visions or any of memory of past. Is this agreed?" Luna's speech ended, i did not reply. I took all of the information given to me by heart. Though questions kept popping in my head, first of all what did she mean by the vision? It was fresh in my head of what i saw just a few minutes ago, or at least it felt like minutes. I didn't know, i put it in the back of my head for now.
"Yes, i agree" i say, i really couldn't say no. First, she was a princess and her word is almost law. Second, if i was stuck with her every time this vision appeared i should give her some repayment for spending some sort of time with me. It was confusing in my head though, i couldn't know what it meant as Luna explained just yet. The princess nodded to my answer.
"Then open your eyes Leaved Novel"

I blink a few times at the bright light from the window beside me. It's light completely engulfing the room. It was morning i knew that, my second, unless you count the day when i was in a bed the whole time, in ponyville. It wasn't the first thought in my mind though. What was that? rang through my mind, questions left unanswered when I awaken. In full light, i could remember everything that happened with Princess Luna, but i didn't remember what she called a "vision". The thought of what she meant put me completely on edge to remember what happened. Nothing came to mind except for a word. There was a hand...
"Hey Leaf! You up yet?! Breakfast is ready!" Spike calls from the other end of the door, coming right after is a few BANG BANG BANGs from the door.
"Yeah i'm up! I'll be out in a sec" i say, getting up from the bed. I go to the door remembering the perfume on top of the stand, i think about it for a second before spraying some on me. I haven't taken a bath yet so i pretty much stink. After that i open the door coming face to face with Spike.
"Yeash you wake up early" He says, starting downstairs. Which i follow.
"You're the one the screamed through the door, don't expect me to wake up on that" i say. I knew that wasn't what awoken me, but might as well.
"Ah well, i was thinking you'd be up late. Especialy after one of Pinkie's parties. Guess i'd have to get used to having early bloomers" Spike replies. Even though him knowing i was in the other room was enough, that confirmed Twilight either planned for me to stay or already informed him before she went to bed. We go up to the small table with a few cushions from before, any signs of pinkie's party was long gone by now. Spike already had some breakfast ready, some toast with waffles, not the most fancy but who was i to complain. There was a pony absent though
"Hey where's Twilight?" I ask Spike, who gives me a shrug.
"Dun know, she already had breakfast and then she went out. All Twilight told me to do was to see if you're awake, and when you were get breakfast done." Spike replies, Chomping away at some toast from his own plate. "Go ahead eat, it's not like you have to pay for it"
"Ok" i say sitting down. I went for the toast first, a small amount of butter was spread on the top. I take a small bite first, it tasted a little burnt, but i wasn't going to complain. The butter was creamy a helped the toast slide down my throat. After a few minutes pass and i finished the toast, i go for the waffles. I didn't even get a bite before the front door opened up.
"I'm home!" Twilight says, trotting straight up to spike and i. Wearing saddlebags and small sweat coming from her head.
"Welcome back" both spike and i say in unison, getting a chuckle out of Twilight, and a good stare between the two of us.
"Well i am not staying, i'm picking something up" She says, staring straight at me. I could figure out what she meant.
"Ok where we going today?" I say, leaving my waffles. Which also gives a frown from Spike
"We are going back to Sweet Apple Acres, i've arranged something with Applejack. It will help you a lot. Also Spike here i didn't forget you" Twilight
says, taking a small gem from her saddlebags and tossing it toward spike. Spike, like i've never seen before, jumps up and grabs the gem. I swore his pupils turned into hearts at that moment.
"Do with it whatever you want, just don't burn down the tree ok?" Twilight says, Spike nods excitedly. I just roll my eyes.
"Ok Leaf let's get going, Applejack can get a little impatient." Twilight now says to me, i nod in agreement and we head off. Whatever happens will happen, i guessed i'll find out once we get there.

Princess Luna, in the Royal castle in canterlot, steps out of her room and heads for her sister's room. She has just finished one of the many times she will interupt the memories of Leaved Novel, still getting used to going back and forth from his mind to Equestria. Once getting to her sister's room, she opens the door without knocking to find the Princess of the Sun, Princess Celestia, looking straight out the window, making sure the sun is in the right position for the morning.
"Hello sister, how did it go?" Celestia asks, not moving her head to face Luna.
"Well dear sister, thou was not able to see anything clear in thou's Memory." Luna replies, a few quick nods came from Celestia.
"I know you informed him little, i am not mad though. You did what you need to do, i couldn't have asked you more." Celestia says, finally facing Luna, her eyes unmoving and emotionless. "But i ask, what did you exactly say to him?"
"We informed thou that all will be clear soon, and thou will see more of us every time his memory would appear" Luna replies, getting a resigned sigh from Celestia this time.
"Luna, you did well. Now though you've informed me that soon he will learn the truth of the memory you will keep showing him. I know the more he sees that one Memory he will remember more every time, but that could be altered as you know sister" Celestia replies, Luna now giving a look of shock.
"No please! There is no reason to. We don't know how thou will become of this world, one thou may prosper in or diminish in. Please if there is any other way, or maybe we can let thou stay here in this world. I can already see Thou is-"
"He is a human!" Celestia yells, not to loud though. After a few moments Celestia see's her mistake, very few times does she get angry, and even fewer does she get angry with her dear sister or just a few years ago was trapped on the moon waiting 1000 years for her to return. She softens and thinks for a moment before speaking again.
"He is a human yes, but if we can see if he is different like you think, then we will see over a span of months if he is truly different" She says, looking apologeticaly at Luna
"And when will thou be judged?" Luna asks
"When Neal comes to us..."
