Lunar and Sparkling's Dream World
Chapter 3: Exploration
Previous ChapterChirp. Chirp.
The sun climbed up from its eternal slumber, shining beautifully on the mansion... The snow melting into dew on the tropical plants, everything was becoming more fabulous as the sun rose. The wind blowing the leaves... Wait... What?
I immediately got up and looked out of the window. Spring, or what it seemed like, had arrived. It was stunning, though, the sun had turned peachy... I wondered, if snow had gone away over here, then was the ocean frozen at that point? Well, no matter. It was time to check on Sparkling anyway. Considering she had disappeared when I entered the dream world.
As I turned back, she instantly jumps out of the bed and gets in my face, nose to nose, and says,
"Hi."
I was kind of surprised, she never got this close. But, at least she's cheerful.
"You seem happy. Had a dream about me?" I flirted.
"Maybe." Sparkling smirked as we both headed down to the kitchen.
"Bubblegum, Bubblegum to see who gets to cook first," I said, smirking. "I'm too lazy to cook anyway."
Sparkling groaned. "Fine,"
"But you owe me a fancy dinner reservation once we get back into the real world!"
"Sure." I said sarcastically.
We put in one hoove for the game. Bubblegum, Bubblegum in a ditch, how many pieces do you wish?
I randomly guessed thirteen.
"Thirteen." I smirked with cockiness.
"You picked a bad move, Hope..." Sparkling smiled.
.....God damn it. I lost.
~-~-~-~
After breakfast, we went out to explore this unknown area. Sparkling and I discovered that there was a mountain just five minutes away from the house. We thought we should use it as a vantage point. A lookout. Shortly then, we found out that the ocean wasn't frozen, instead, the snow was just floating on the ocean. What in the name of Celestia did that make sense!?
What was also crazy, was that both me and Sparkling, could fly! Without any wings! I was happy though, because it was a bird's eye view. The clouds also felt fluffy ( I admit, I did nap on one of the clouds.).
But, I heard squawking. I looked behind me, to see a shitload of ravens chasing after us. I looked down. We were in the middle of the winter wonderland. I tried not to make Sparkling worry.
"Let's have a race," I said with a fake smile. "First one who lands under the ocean wins!"
"You're on!" Sparkling replied with a happy look.
I was a little worried about the ravens, but I did try to win.
Bloop.
Crap, I lost... But, I chuckled a bit, since diving straight into the water didn't sound like it was supposed to be. Oh, well. I dived in anyway.
Bloop.
"Whoa..." I said underwater.
Wait... Oh, shit.
I casted a spell on my body so I could breathe. But, not for long, only the best Unicorns can cast spells that make you breathe permanently underwater. I know my friend, Twilight Sparkle, would just correct me, and say 'I have a book for that to prove that you're wrong!'. Not really, but, you get what I mean.
I look around to find Sparkling. Where was she?
I looked down.
"Oh my god."
-~-~-~-
Sparkling was sinking down to the bottom of the ocean. It looked so dark and murky in the ocean. Who knows what's in there... Damn it, just save her, Hope! I reacted just in time to keep her from falling deeper into the abyss. I grabbed her, and swam up to the surface.
....Why can't I fly? Come on, come on...
My horn lights up. I have an idea... I could teleport to a short distance, but it's going to be nowhere near the house. Screw it, as they say, you only live once.
I close my eyes, and teleport. I'm in a jungle. Oh, man...
"...Wha..." Sparkling awakes. "Where am I?"
"I don't know. We're in a jungle, though, I can tell you that. What happened, though?" I ask with worry.
"I think I lost myself. I was enjoying the fact that I was just falling." she replied back.
"So, you fell asleep while falling."
"Yeah."
I let go of her, letting her drop onto the soft ground. I mean, come on, you seriously fell asleep while losing yourself?! Well, no matter. I need to see if I can climb up a tall tree. But, only REAL tall ones. I look back, and Sparkling keeps following me. Staying by my side.
RAWRRR!!!
I flinched. Was that a tiger?
"....Rawrr...." the tiger growled as he was hiding in the bushes.
I felt something wrap around my right arm. I look to the direction, and find a poor, cute Sparkling trying to stick herself onto me. Aww.
I look back to the bushes, and see it's actually a midnight blue cat. It looked adorable. It's green eyes, oh I could-
"Hello." the cat greeted.
"You can talk?" I questioned.
"Yes. I was sent by Prince Artemis and Princess Luna. To guide you," the cat said.
"Actually, not to guide you, but to watch over you. Y'know."
I gave the cat a 'really' look. It would be nice to have another person to accompany us.
"What's your name?" me and the cat both asked each other.
"Hope."
"Moon."
We both stared.
"Well, looks like we should be going now, mister Moon, it's getting late." Sparkling stepped in.
"It's nine o'clock in the morning," Moon said with sass. "May I also ask what your name is?"
"It's Sparkling."
"I see. Well, tally ho, young ones." Moon smiled.
The three of us climbed up a big tree. We saw the mountain that Sparkling and I marked as a vantage point, so we walked around the mountain, and headed home.
As we were making our way home, the stupid cat, Moon, kept making stories like, 'I remember when I was your age...', or 'I used to...'. Sparkling was the one listening, and she was smiling. Honestly, I wasn't listening, but Sparkling was the one that kept me smiling all the way. I'm guessing I should say... I feel happy to be with her.
My heart is beating faster. Is this... Love?
"..ope...HOPE!" Sparkling yelled.
I flinched. "Y-yeah?" I stuttered.
"Dreaming off, are we?" Moon smirked. "I bet you were thinking about Ms. Sparkle."
I blushed a bit. "I was not!" I replied with embarrassment.
I ran up to the damn cat. "Listen, you smartflank, I will cut your tongue, and I will-"
"I don't think you'll be doing that, Hope. I am royalty, after all. Artemis and Luna will have you executed."
"You son of a-"
"Ah, ah, ah! No more bad language here, Hope."
I glared at Moon, and opened the door to the house. I held it for Sparkling. And Sparkling only. Moon gets the privilege to sleep outside. I close the door on him. I hear a flash sound. I look down at my feet to find Moon. Great.
"I can teleport, you know."
"I know you can."
We all headed upstairs to go to sleep. I was the first to get in the bed. Moon just made his spot (Not peeing, bro,) and laid down. Sparkling just took a shower, and cuddling up to me. She was warm.
"Now, shall we say good night? To all of us? Including Prince Artemis and Princess Luna?" Moon closed his eyes.
"Good night, everyone." Sparkling closed her eyes.
"Good night." I closed my eyes as well.
"Good night, Prince Artemis and Princess Luna. And Sparkling and Hope." Moon yawned.
.......
"At least I was the one that said good night to Prince Artemis and Princess Luna." Moon smirked.
"Oh, would you just shut up..."
