Rewritten by myself

Chapter 1: Just another normal day

And the next day begins, like every day. I open my eyes and looking around my bedroom. I turn my bell off, that waked me and stand up with a yawn. And here starts another day.

I make my way to the bathroom and turn the shower on. Putting of my boxers, I wash myself under the warm water, before turn off the shower and dry myself. "Awake and fresh, now my day can begin."

I start pulling my clothes on, before taking my pocket and my keys. I take my bag and walk unlock the door to from the apartment. I walk out and lock it again, then making my way out. Nice weather today.

They walk to my work was uneventful like always. I buy something to eat, before reaching the building. I working for a car company that is well known here. I walk to my computer, where I create new ideas for new cars. Before I worked here, the company was pretty known for bad newspaper articles. When they searched for a designer, my chance finally arrived. Thanks to me, the next car models got good critique and soon, we made only good articles in the newspaper. My chef still thanks me everytime, he seeing me ... in and out of work time. I even get more money, probably more then necessary, but I can't complain. After my day of working, I make my way back home.

I live with my best friend Michael together in our apartment. I could buy a house for myself with my money, but I'm happy with what I have. And Michael is just an awesome friend! You always find fun, with that guy.

He is a funny, crazy guy to hang out with, it's hard to think about my life, if I never met him. Not as much crazy, as Pinkie Pie is.

Pinkie Pie. The crazy, hyperactive party-pony ... my friend doesn't has any idea, that I watch and like My Little Pony and it's fandom around Bronies and Pegasisters. And it better stays that way. I remember one incident in the past. I shiver everytime, when I remember myself about the incident, that happened in the past. Michael found out, that a good friend from him likes MLP ... I can't explain why, but he really hate the show and everybody, who liking it. He ... if I didn't stopped him that time, his ex-friend would be dead now. And when he goes crazy already by his good friend ... what will then happen, when he find out, that his BEST friend, me, watch MLP too? Yeah ... wait a minute ... why am I talking to my self right now? It sound like, I talk to someone right now. Mayby, this is just a FanFic that someone writes, and all what I am saying right now is just a written text in it. Hey, you ... yeah, I mean you in front of your computer, laptop, mobile ... whatever, thanks for reading it, if you survive it, haha. Okay, to weird. I better stop now ...

When I reach the door, Michael is standing already outside. "Hey, there you are. Just in time, like always", he says to me with a grin on his face. We walk together to a bar nearby, drinking together some beer. I can handle a lot, before getting in trouble. We laughing together, before we walk out to the park. It's a beautiful little park here. If there is any place nearby, that you could relate to the colorfull world of MLP, then this little park here. After a walk trough the park, we walk back to our home. We went in and he turn the console on and we start playing games together. When there is something in the world, he is better in it then me ... then it is video games. But today, I decided to go out again, after he beat me 10 rounds in a row. Just a short walk to get some fresh air. So I go out and start walking. Until something strange happens. What the ...?

There she walks, in front of my eyes. Will I be damned ...! Twilight Sparkle. Princess Twilight Sparkle. She is just walking there. But then, she slips and falls down on here face. Ouch! She stand up and bleed on her lip, also she lost 2 teeth. I can't believe what I just saw and start rubbing my eyes. When I look again ... she was gone. And it seems no one here, really NO ONE has seen her? I know, I'm dreaming about MLP FiM since I was born ... but never, when I was awake. She looked pretty real too ...

I make my way back home, still confused about, what I just saw. Did my mind start to connect dream with reality? It saw so real ... I take my key to open the door and make my way straight to my bedroom, when Michael stopped me. "Hey. Are you alright? You ... look confused."

"Me? No, no, no, I'm fine." I smile to Michael before leaving to my bedroom. I close the door and let me fall on my bed. It was already 11 PM now. I really fall fast asleep, back to my dream world ... to Equestria ...... like always.

Chapter 2: Just a normal dream ...

I wake up, laying in my bed. I get into a sitting position on my bed, slowly rubbing my eyes with my hooves. Yawning, I open my eyes open, to found myself in my bedroom, in Ponyville. Everything looks as always, so I made my way, to stand up from my soft bed, landing on my four hooves. Celestia's sun is shining outside, giving myself a small smile. Unbelievable, this beautiful place is just a dream from me, a lucid dream.

I am a lucid dreamer, a person who has a dream, that he can self control. I can move myself, act myself without borders from my dream. The differences between me and other humans? I do that everyday, since I was born, Equestria is like a second life in a big dream. People would probably saying, I dream so much about it, because of my love from the show. But I dream about it, since I was born ... and I can't remember, sawing My Little Pony Friendship is Magic in the hospital on 14th January 1994. The show came out 2010.

I know the Mane 6 already, when they where young. I saw, how they grow up. Even all the adventures, that happens in the TV-Show, I saw it already, before they happened in the show itself. Nightmare Moon's return, Discord's return, the Canterlot Wedding incident, the incident on the Crystal Empire ... I heard and saw all of it. So I always knew already, what was going to happen in the next episode, haha.

I walk to my window, looking outside. Today is monday, fillies and colts are already outside, playing, before leaving to school. I walk to the shower and clean my fur, mane and tail. After this is done, I walk out, closing the door behind me.

It is easy, to live as a pony, especially, when you are one for every dream you had. I learned all the things in my lucid dreams. Walking, speaking etc. But, so long you know, what is a dream and what is real, there shouldn't be any problems. I feel the fresh spring air, touching my fur and mane. It feels so real. In my lucid dream, I don't have the same job, as I have in real life ... the ponies here don't even have computers. But I still found a job here.

I work as a mail-pony. Ponyville isn't THAT big, so I don't need forever for this. The rest of the day, I just walking around town and talk with the other ponies. I even got the chance to talk with everypony from the Mane 6 not long ago! When the sun goes down in afternoon and Luna's moon shines in the sky, I make my way back home. I rest then, reading one of the Daring Do books, I started yesterday. But there is still one thing I can't explain ...

Why did I saw Princess Twilight in reality? Should I ask her about it? NO! This is not a option. I am still in a dream afterall. Also it would sound strange. Hey, Princess Twilight, I wanted you to ask something. I had a dream about you last night. Or better ... I am just dreaming right now and I saw you in reality. Why did you became real?

You know what I mean? That sounds really stupid. I don't tought more about it, walking back to my bed and let me fall on it with a jump, closing my eyes, slowly drifting away ... back to my normal, boring life on earth ...

Chapter 3: It slowly start to get complicated

"JACK! JACK! WAKE UP! JACK! DAMN IT JACK, THE ARPARTMENT BURNS! JAAACK!" I winced a little, confused, what the heck Michael screams right now. "Michael, just few ..."

Wait a second ... did he just say ... the arpartment burns?!

"What the hay?!" Oh crap, it really burns! I jump out of my bed directly. I was just in a boxer and socks, but I really don't have time, to put clothes on. We run together into the floor, going downstairs and running out of the building. The whole building is burning!

"Michael, did you smoke again in our apartment? I told you, to smoke on the balcony outside!"

"No! I didn't!" I let out a sigh. All my things ...

"Great! All my things are burning. Even my Fluttershy plushie!"

Oh no ... I just did say Fluttershy plushie ... outside ... where over 100 people are already here ... and the fire brigade ... and ... the worsed thing possible ... my Brony and MLP-Hating best friend Michael ...

"What ... you had a plushie?!" Thanks, that he don't know, Fluttershy is from ...

"... MLP?! You ... you really watch the show?" I winced a little. Who said that?!

"Hey you! What the fuck are you talking about? My best friend Jack would never watch this girly crap ponies!" I winced more.

"But Fluttershy is a ..." I look to the person, who is just going to say my secret. Too my surprise, from all the people here, it's one of my workmates, who is going to say it. I look to him, shaking my head a little, in hope, he realize, that it is a secret. Please stop talking, pleeeeasssseeee!!! "... pony from the show."

I'm screwed ... I'm so bucking screwed ... WAIT! Mayby not. Too many people here to beat the hay out of me!

"Wait a minute ..." Of course I waiting for a minute. Nothing important, just the building is burning and he is going to kill me, right at the moment, no one is here anymore ... "...you? YOU?! You like this crap?"

"Y ... yes ..." I expected a punch in my face ... hard and painful, probably breaing my nose. But nothing happening. I open my eyes, after closing them in fear and look into his eyes. I can see clearly, that we are no friends anymore. "You little freak ..."

And with his last words, he turns around and walks away. I am still standing, every one is watching at me now. But, in surprise for myself, the workmate, who just told, from where Fluttershy is, comes over to me.

"Are you allright? Hey, I don't blame you. Everyone that, what he likes, right? Or ..." He comes closer to me. "... should I say, every ... pony?"

He grins a little to me. "Wait, what?"

But he just wink to me, before he turns around and walks away. Wow ... the coolest guy at my work ... is a brony too?! Still confused about everything, I rubbing my head. I see, that the fire brigade killed the fire, but I know, I can't live here anymore ... not with my "friend" together ... I need to find a new place to live ...

A few hours after the incident, including working at my company, I already found a new place to live. It's a whole house, just for myself. And they allowed me to sleep here for tonight ... because, I have no other place to sleep today. I went to a shop, to buy a air mattress for sleeping. Already filled with air and comfortable enough to sleep on it. Tomorrow, I will start buying new things ... I have enough money for that. But now, I just need sleep from this horrible day here ... back to Equestria, to Ponyville ... and hoping, nothing bad is happening there too ...

Chapter 4: New friend

I slowly open my eyes, to find myself back in my bed in Equestria ... again as a pony. And thank Celestia, it is NOT burning here. I stretch myself a bit, remembering, what happened in reality ... okay, I better not remember this day. A bit worried, I run out, just to look if everything in Ponyville is alright ... and luckily, it is. Good. I start walking, when I directly bumped into somepony.

"Oh, hey, sorry. I am always thinking, when I do walking outside. Are you okay?" I rubbing my head and looking up to the pony, that I bumped into. The stallion has a cyan blue fur with a darker blue mane and tail. His cutie mark is an open book. "I'm fine. Thanks for asking."

"You are ... really not hurt?" He really cares, if I'm fine. I just smile to him. "Nope, I'm completly fine."

"Good to hear. Oh, by the way, my name is Rising Shine. I guess, I continue walking now. See ya. And sorry again." I tought for a moment. I don't have a really good friend here ... afterall, it's still a dream. My real life changed ... so why not my dream life? "Hey ... Rising, right? Wait a minute, I walking with you, when it's okay for you."

"Uhm ... sure, why not?" I smile to him, walking with him together.

"Are you ... uhm ... new here?" Rising looks to me, a bit surprised. "No. I live a few years here already."

Now I'm the idiot, who looks surprised. "Really? Never saw you in my dre ... here."

That was close!

"I'm often in my house, you know? I am a author, I write short stories and books. I usually only walking or flying, when I need fresh air to think ... or have to buy food to live." He seems to be a more lazy stallion. "Ah, okay."

"And what about you?"

"Me?" Actually, nopony really never asked about me in my dreams yet. "I'm a ..."

"Bad memories? Then just tell you're name first." My name? Uhhh, great. The last time, somepony mentioned my name was who-knows long ago. Most ponies just directly talk to me, instead saying my name. Have to look that up later. "Uhm. Sorry, bad with my name. Always forgetting it, because most calling me not with my name ... uhhh ... just call me Mail Jack."

I could give myself a facehoof right now ... "Mail Jack? Sounds strange." I know, urghh ... "Yeah uh ... tell that my parents, haha."

"When I meet them, sure."

"That was a joke ..." He looks a bit surprised to me. "Oh ..."

We continue walking, but we didn't really talked anymore, until we come to his house. "Well ... thanks. I am talking sometimes with ponies, but it's always nice to talk with new ponies. Thanks ... Mail. Mayby wee see us again." He smiles to me. I just smile back to him. "Yeah, I hope so. You know, I just lose my best friend ..."

"Huh? Really? I'm sorry for that ..." I look to him, then realized, what I just said. "Wa- ... nonono, not in that way. He isn't dead. We ... had some trouble."

"Sorry. Hey, you want some tea? You can come in if you want too." He is really a nice stallion. "Oh yeah, thanks."

Together, we walk into his house. He walks to the kitchen, while I sit down on the chair. He comes back, few minutes later, with a tablet on it two cups of tea. "Here, take one. It's really good."

I take the cup and give it a sip ... and darn it, he was right! "Wow! Have you did this by yourself?" He smiles, a little blush on his face. "YEP!"

"Taste really good. I ..." Suddenly, I hear a loud noise from outside. Sounds like a storm. "Oh yeah, I have forget that. Today is a storm planned. You better stay here for the night, okay? Too dangerous outside right now."

"Thanks. It is really no problem for you?" A loud thunder, followed by a lightning. "Nah, it's okay. I go to my bed now, thinking about a new story. I think, I even had some idea already. Sorry, I have no bed for you. But if you want, you can sleep on my ..."

I directly stop him. "Nonono, it's okay. The bottom here is really comfortable. But is it okay, if I use the chimney for warmth?"

"Sure, you can use it to make you warmer." I smile to him. "Thank you."

"You are welcome, my friend." He give me a smile back, before he leaves to his bed room. After I use the chimney and the flames filling it, I lay down on the ground and closing my eyes. It was really comfortable here, no lie. And I have a new friend too. If my real life would be so perfect ...

Chapter 6: Accident

I wake up, rubbing my eyes with my hooves. I had sleep very well here. Celestia's sun is shining, the storm is over. And then Rising comes to me. "Hey, Mail. Everything good?"

"Yeah, thanks." I smile to him. "I ... uhm ... do you want some Cola?"

Wait! Cola? Since when, Equestria has Cola? Better act like unknown.

"What is ... Cola?" He just smiles. "Cherry often lovely awesome. My own created tea. Taste really good, better then I ever expected."

I didn't expected THAT!

"Sure!" I smile back to him. He nods then. "I'm so fast as I can."

He smiled to me, before he leaves the room. I sit up from the bottom and wait. From all I can remember in my dreams here, he is one of the friendliest ponies I ever met. But I make slowly worry about him ...

... because it's now already 45 minutes ago, since he left the room. I stand up and walk to the kitchen to see, what he is doing. When I see Rising ...

"Shout! RISING, YOU ALLRIGHT?!"

Rising lies unconscious on the ground, a knife lays next to him. He is bleeding on one of his front hooves. I look shocked to the table. There laying cherrys on it, some cutted already by the knife. He has hit himself accidentally. The wound is deep! "Oh no! What should I do! I NEED HELP!"

I get in panic. The hospital! Of course, stupid me.

"Rising, if you can hear me, don't worry, I bring you right to the hospital!" I manage to take him on my back and start running as fast and careful as I can to the hospital. The talking, playing and walking ponies outside see me with Rising on my back. Then somepony ask me from behind: "What is happening with him?!"

"Accidentally hurt his hoof with an knife!" I keep running, not stopping for talking. "He is too heavy for you, I take him!"

I suddenly feel Rising's body leaving my back. I turn around and see Rising in the air, still uncouncious, with an purple aura around him. When I look, who is using magic, I see, that it is Twilight Sparkle. "Twilight?"

"It's me, yes. But no time to talk, come on!" Then she start running too, levitating Rising with her. I follow her without any word. Together we run to the hospital as fast as we can. One of the nurse's screams in shock, when we run inside. We didn't even need to say, what is going on, because they take him directly, without asking anything. Then they bring him away. "I hope, he will be okay ..."

"Don't worry. They know, what there doing. But what is happened with him?" I look to Twilight, still worrying. "I think, he was cutting cherrys for a tea, when he accidentally hit his hoof. You saw youreself, how deep it was."

"Really deep. Good that you found him fast enough ... wait, you came from his house, what did you doing in there?" She looks to me suspicious, but I just shaked my head. "Don't worry, we met us yesterday. We went to his home, he made some tea for me. It was a storm outside, so he allowed me, to stay by him for the night."

"I see. Hey, don't worry, everything is going to be fine. If you want, I stay here with you, until we know more about his status, okay?" I smile to her, nodding. "Okay. Thank you."

Second to second ... minute to minute ... hour to hour ... With every second counting, my heart beat faster and faster. I'm really worried about Rising. About 5 PM, finally, a nurse walks to us into the waiting room. "How is Rising doing?!"

"You came fast enough, he is fine. He is now sleeping, but he should be wake up in few minutes. You can come in his room, if you two want."

We nod and follow the nurse to his room. Rising lays in a bed, sleeping. Bandages are all around his hurted hoof, still with a bit of blood from the wound. "You don't have to worry, he will be fine soon. But he must stay for a while here."

Then Rising open his eyes slowly. "W ... what happened? Where am I?"

"You are in the hospital. Princess Twilight ..." Twilight interupted the nurse. "Only Twilight is okay, really."

"... and your friend here brought you here fast enough. You had a really deep cut on your hoof. What is happened?" Rising rubs his eyes with his unhurted hoof. "Now I remember. Cutted cherrys for a tea ... hit my hoof with my knife, when I was lost in toughts about a mare I have a crush on. I then suddenly feeled pain in my hoof. It started bleeding fast, I got uncouncious from the shock ..."

"Are you feeling fine?" Rising smiles a little. "Yeah. And thank you, Twilight and Mail."

"No problem, Rising." We, me and Twilight, said that at the same moment. "Okay, he need some rest now, you can come tomorrow again, if you want."

"Bye, Rising." I waved to him, then leave with Twilight his room. "Thanks, Twilight. I don't know, if he had survived, if you didn't helped me."

"No problem ... Mail, right?" I nod. "Yeah."

"I have to search something, you can always meet me in the library. See you next time." And so she walks away.

I had still time, so I decided to go to Rising's house and cleaning it for him. It took several hours, before I was finished cleaning everything dirty in the house. During that time, I realized, that he has many books in here. I know some of them, all written by the anonym "RS" ... wait ... R-ising ... S - hine ... he write own stories? Wow! But I better go to my home now. I close the house door and walk back to my house, laying down in my bed. I fall directly asleep ...

Chapter 7: Bad day

I wake up, rubbing my eyes. It was really a long time ago, that I dreamed so badly. If I remember right, the last time was on my 10th birthday. I know, it isn't real and all, but it really hitted me. I don't remember my real name there, but I remember every single dream since I was born. But - even when it's not real - I'm happy, that Rising Shine is okay. Today is already Thursday, so my stuff is coming tomorrow. I started to get my clothes on, when I suddenly get a call from my mobile. "Here is Jack, how can I help?"

"Hello, Jack. We are glad to say, that you can go back to your apartment. Or, if you found a new place to live, you can take the stuff that didn't got burned to your new home." My eyes widen. Please, let be one of the things my plushie ...

"I need just one thing ... I had a plushie from a pony from the TV-Show "My Little Pony" ... is it fine?" There was a short silence, that made me worry, but then, the guy replied. "I don't know this show, but here is a ... uhm, yellow horse with ... pink mane and tail and ... butterflys on her butt? If you mean this plushie, yes, it's fine."

"GREAT! I come now." I cheer happily and jump around my room. Then I take my mobile back, finish putting my clothes on me and run to the bus station nearby. One of them drives me near my old apartment. After I waited for the bus, I travel to my old apartment, my old life ... I just hope, that Michael is not here.

"Sir, that isn't ..." I walk trough the broken door into my apartment, when I got the shock of my life. "Do you really think, that's inte ... ohhh, here he is. Having fun with your ponies?"

He has my Fluttershy plushie!

"That's mine. Give it back!" He just smirks to me. Not in a sexual way ... in an very evil way ... "No - way!"

"Michael!" I had the whole way to the apartment a bad feeling. And now, I think, my bad feeling is going to become true. "Oh, is the little pony crying?"

"I swear, if you ..." He still holding the plushie, still that evil smirk on his face. "If I doing what? Rape it? Destroy it? Burn it? Come on, say little crying pony ..."

"Michael ..." Please ... please don't ...

"Sir, give him his plushie. It is not your ownership." I lose my nerves. "Michael! What is your problem!? Why do you hate MLP so much!?"

"You are all freaks! I mean ... liking a show with colorful ponies, created for little girls? Seriously!?" Typical hater ...

"You don't know ... if you just watch some of the episodes, you may understand them." He glares to me. "NEVER! I will never watch this shit!"

"Michael!" Please!

"Say your pony to clop, good bye!" NO!

"MICHAEL!" But he makes just the evil smirk into an more evil grin, before, in front of my eyes, he tears Fluttershy's head from the plushie. I can't believe this ... Tears start building on my eyes, then I start to cry. He really killed my plushie ...

"Ohhhh ... poor Jack. I killed your non-existing girlfriend. Cry you little baby!" I was never so angry before then right now. This plushie means a lot to me. I really feel only pure hate for him right now. "Michael ... you just maked the biggest mistake in your entire life."

I slowly walk to Michael. "Oh, do you think, I fear you?"

He laughs. But I beat him hard in his dirty face. "Okay, you piece of shit, you going to far now!"

And then, he start beating me. "Never fight against Michael, idiot!"

But I was so full with anger and hate, that I barely feel the pain. I beat back ... but I don't going to stop this time. I beating on his face for minutes. He is bleeding already, but I don't care anymore. The guys from the fire department just stare in shock with the sudden fight. But then I realized something. What am I doing right now? Beating him makes me more like him. Also, the ponies wouldn't be proud about what I just doing. I stop beating him. "I'm ... I'm ... sorry."

I stand up from him and make my way out of the apartment ... but then, Michael suddenly catch me and pulls his arms tight on my neck to strangle me. I start to walk backwards, faster and faster, hoping to hit him on a wall or anything else hard. Then I smashed with him against a wall. The wall breaks by smashing it ... wait, breaks? I feel his grip losing on me, but also feel myself free ... like a pegasi. I just realized, that it was the broken window, I had smashed. Like a wonder, I managed to hold on the outside windowsill, before I would completly falling down. We lived here on the 12th floor. I would never survive from this high ... wait Michael! I can only watch in shock, before he lands on the street. Still hanging, I close my eyes ... He is dead ...

Finally the fire brigade guys coming, helping me back into the apartment. Im still shocked from what just had happened. I killed Michael ...

"Are you allright?" I can't answer right now. That, what just happened was to much for me. When I didn't start to beat him ...

I feel bad ... really bad. And dizzy. I try to walk, but my body leaved me, letting me fall to the ground ...

***

When I woke up, I realized, that I'm laying in a comfortable bed.

"So, you are awake finally." I looking around, still confused. "What ... where am I?"

"In the hospital. We already know, what happened." I feel a cold shiver of fear running trough my body. "Michael ... is he ..."

"If you mean the man, that smashed on the street, then yes. I'm afraid so." Hate and sorrow fighting in my mind. "It's all my fault ..."

"You two had trouble, but you stopped. He then, tried to kill you. You just did the only thing, you could do in this moment. No one will blame you." I didn't reply. I need time to get over it ... if I will ever get over that.

"You stay here for this night. You should try to sleep now."

Yeah. Dreaming. To a better place. In a world, I can still have joy and fun ... I'm coming, Ponyville ...

Chapter 8: Stalking shadows

I waking up in the morning. And I still think about Michael. Yes, he wasn't my friend anymore ... but still. We knew us from the very first schoolday. And now, he is gone ... forever. I have to clean my mind, so I stand up from my bed and walk out, straight to the hospital. When I walk in, the nurse from yesterday recognize me. "Oh, you. You are here for Rising, right?"

"Yes." She smiles to me, giving me a nod. "You can go, he is already awake."

"Thanks." I walk to the room from yesterday, where Rising is still laying. "Hey Rising, you allright?"

"Yeah, doesn't hurt anymore." He smiles to me. "Good to hear, at least, one of us, who is fine."

"Huh?" He give me a confused look. Ooops. "Uhm, nothing."

"You okay?" He now looks more worried then confused. "Yeah ... just a terrible nightmare ..."

Funny to say in a dream, that you had a terrible dream, that is in reality real. Wow, that confused even me now.

"Don't worry, Mail. It's just a nightmare, everypony has sometimes nightmares."

If you just know, that this here is just a dream ...

"Yeah, you are right ... I ..." Suddenly, Twilight walks in. "Hey guys. You looking better Rising, good to see you beeing fine."

"Yep, definitly better." Twilight looks to me. "And you? How are you doing?"

"You can call me Mail, Twilight. I'm fine, just had a terrible nightmare." Twilight looks just to me. "So long, you not lucid dreaming this, everything is allright."

Wait, what?

"What do you mean with that, Twilight?" She looks surprised. "Did you ever heard of lucid dreaming?"

"Yep." Lucid dreaming is a dream, where you have full control of the actions you do. "Good. Lucid dreaming is a dangerous kind of magic here in Equestria."

"Really?" I didn't saw that coming. "Yes. We ponies - or other species - are not really lucid dreaming and when, it's not a bad dream usually. But it can be dangerous, if you lucid dreaming badly."

"What do you mean?" She frowns a little. "Everything you lucid dreaming, actually happening in real then."

"What!? Wait a second ... as an example ... if I lucid dreaming ... and I dream about, that Princess Celestia dies ... does she really ..." Twilight look shocked about my example but nods. "Yes."

"Wow, that is really dangerous!" She nods serious. "Yes. So be careful, Mail."

"Don't worry. I don't think, my dreams would be dangerous for you or everypony else." Twilight turns away from us. "Well, sorry, but I have to go. Afterall, I'm a princess. Mayby we see us later?"

"Sure, why not?" She smiles. "Okay, have fun."

And then, Twilight leave the room. "Rising, did you know that?"

"About lucid dreaming? Sure ... that could be an interesting stuff for a story, hmmmm ..." Rising start to think. "Good, that I'm not dreaming about ponies or Equestria."

"Really? Hey ... I think, I got an idea for a story. Is it okay, when you are the main character?" I look surprised to him. "What ... me? Why?"

"Don't know." I chuckle a little. "Uhm ... sure."

"Thanks. And what are you doing today?" I tought for a moment. I don't have anything to do today here. "Nothing special. I don't work on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. Mayby taking a walk."

"Okay. I have to stay today here, but I can leave tomorrow already." I smile to him happily. "Good to hear. You will be surprised, when you come back home ... oh, one thing. You mentioned it already, but I didn't know, that you write stories."

"Really? Now you know, haha." Rising laughs to me. I laugh back. "Okay, I leave now. See ya tomorrow."

"Bye."

I leave the hospital and start walking around. But I slowly getting the feeling, that somepony is following me. I turn around ... and see a shadow, running in an alley. What the hay?

I run to the alley, but when I reached it, nopony was there. There was definitly somepony here.

"Soon. Soon, you will fulfill your destiny, Sweetfull Dream."

"What? Who's talking?" I winced a bit, when the voice spoke to me. But nopony was nearby. "What's going on? I never heared this voice before."

I slowly getting nervous. That wasn't normal. I shake my head. "What can I do now?"

Reading books. Yes. The ones from Rising. I make my way to his home and open the door. I close it behind me and take one of his book. That one seems full with action. I read it, the whole time. That book has over 3.000 pages...

At some time, I fell asleep on the book ...

"Soon, Sweetfull Dream!"

Author's Note

Rewritten by myself

Chapter 10: Strange day

"Did you sleep well, Mail?"

"Huh?" I open my eyes, yawning out loud, before looking, who is talking to me. It was Rising Shine. "I'm sorry, I just readed that book and ..."

"It's no problem. Yep, that is one of my best books. Hope you liked it." He smiles to me. "I'm not finished yet, I fall asleep."

Rising then looks around his house, a bit confused. "Did you ... cleaned my house?"

"Yes, as a surprise." I smile to him, but he looks a bit worried. "You ... uhm ... didn't looked under my bed ... or?"

"Nope ... I forgot it, I can ..." But Rising directly stop me mid-sentence. "NONONONONONONONONONO! I mean, it's okay, I can do that."

I get the feeling, he is hiding something under his bed ... something ... special.

"Hehe, I think I know what you hiding ... but it's no problem for me."

Is Rising ... blushing?

"T-Thanks." I give him a calming smile. "Everypony that, what they like, right?"

"Right. But ... that is normal, to like mares, or?" I could facehoof right now. "Yeah ... I just mean, having pictures from mares ... can we please change the topic now?"

"You just started with ... nevermind. What are you doing today?" I look up and remember it's friday already. "Have to work, it's friday today. And I think, after that, I going to the library ... that whole lucid dreaming get me, you know?"

"Yeah, that really sounds like good stuff for a story. But I can't come with you, I still have work to do." I nod. "No problem, Rising."

I stand up, wave to Rising and leave Rising's house. I make my way to my work. I heard about Light beeing disappeared, one of the workers here. That confused me, but I just did continue my work. After work was done, I made my way into the library. I knock on the door then the door opens with magic. "Come in!"

I walk inside the library. There are really many books here obliviously. "Oh, it's you, Mail. Welcome to the library and my home."

"Hey, Twilight." I give her a smile and she returns it with a smile back. "Looking for a specific book?"

"I ... got interested about that lucid dreaming, after you mentioned it." She looks up to me surprised. "Really? Well, normaly, everything you should know, I told you already."

"So is it really dangerous, huh?" She looks to me, a serious face. "Yes ... wait. Why do you ... you are not trying to lucid dreaming, or?"

"No. In a strange way, I already lucid dreaming since I was born ..."

BUCK!

"You do WHAT?!" She looks shocked. I'm screwed ...

"I'm ..." She snaps me out of my toughts. "Sorry, but this is too dangerous. Have you ever dreamed about one of us? About Equestria?"

"Not really ..." She looks surprised to me now. "Huh? What do you mean with *Not really*?"

"In a strange way ... this here. Everything what happen right now, is just a lucid dreaming by me." She looks to me with a *Your kidding, right?*-Look. "Uhm ... no."

"Yes." She shakes her head. "No. I'm definitly sure, I exist ... what do you exactly dreaming?"

"I already told, this here is ..." She rolls her eyes, obliviously annoyed. "Fine. Then tell me, what do you do in *reality*?"

"I'm ... living in a world, called earth. Our species is called human. We not really have magic in our world. Our world is not so beautiful and friendly like Equestria. And ... you ... everything here exist too there ... in a TV-Show called *My Little Pony Friendship is Magic*. You are not really there, just a show, like a movie." She looks now more interested to me. "Sounds strange. No wonder, when you say, you dreaming about that, since you where born. That you don't realize, what world is real. But I'm sure, that the pony in front of me is real. You are real here ... no dream."

"I'm not so sure about that ..." I look down. "When you are next time in your world ... you mean, you are lucid dreaming, right? When this is a dream ... try next time something, that normally is impossible to do there."

"Do you not want to know, what humans are?" She smiles a little. "I already do ... there was an accident, few days, after I became a princess."

The accident in My Little Pony Equestria Girls, I see.

"I think, I heard about that. Okay, I try something unlikely, when I *dreaming* next time." She nods. "Good."

"Good. Get more friends. Get her as your friend, Sweetfull Dream!"

"Oh ... my head." I hold a hoof on my head, feeling a short, hard pain. "Are you all right, Mail?"

"Yeah ... yeah, I'm fine."

Again that voice!

"I NEED YOU! SOON!"

"Oh ..." Again a hard pain trough my head.

"Better stay here, Mail. I make something to drink for you."

This isn't normal. It started yesterday and getting stronger slowly. And now the whole *What is real and what not*-Situation. I really getting confused now.

Twilight comes back with a cup of tea. "Here. You really looking bad, are you sure, you are allright?"

"I'm not sure ..." I rubbing my head. "Mayby ... the whole thing. I mean, all the time, you thought, this other world is real. And now I smash to you, that this here is real. That can really be confusing."

"Yeah, definitly." She levitates the cup to me. "Better stay here for this night. I better keep an eye on you for this night. And now drink, it will help."

I take a sip from the tea. It was delicious. "Thanks, Twilight. You are really nice to me ... like Rising ... even if you don't not know me that much."

I take a look to Twilight. ... is she ... blushing?

"It is really no problem ... Mail." The I realized something. That strange voice ... calls me always Sweetfull Dream. Was this my real name here?

"Uhm ... I think, I remember my real name. You know, I used Mail ... because I'm woring as a mail stallion. I think, my real name is Sweetfull Dream." She looks and smiles. "Sweetfull Dream? Okay then, sounds better. Behind that door is a chimney. Mayby you need a warm place to sleep. It's going to be late outside slowly."

"Twilight? Can you ... stay with me there? I'm feeling better, when somepony is next to me ... o-only when it's okay for you." I blush a little. What is wrong with me?

"Sure, if you feel better then." I smile to her, still blushing a little. "Thanks."

I think I really start to like her ... more then usual. Can ... can it be?

"You can go in and start the fire. I have to do, I come there in about ten minutes, okay?" I nod, making my way to the chimney. "Okay."

I go to the chimney and start the fire in there. After that I wait for Twilight to come. About 20 minutes(Didn't she said 10?), she walks in. "You look better then before. Sorry, took a bit longer then I expected. Feeling better?"

"Yeah ... thanks." She sits down next to me. "It's really warm and comfortable here now."

"Yeah ... it is." She looks to me calmly. "Don't worry, Sweet ... is it okay, when I call you that?"

"Yeah, it's fine." She nods. "Good. I hope you will understand it better ... must be really confusing."

"Yep. But with you, I feel safe. Thanks." She nods again. "Uhm ... it's okay. You better should sleep now, I stay with you here, Sweet."

I lay down on the ground and closing my eyes.

"Good ..."

I open my eyes directly, but there is still only Twilight here in the room. I close my eyes again, trying to fall asleep. Suddenly, I feel something soft on my back. I think, Twilight putted one of her wings on me ... I feel better now. Good enough to fall asleep ... I think, I blushed, before I fall asleep.

Chapter 11: Reality and Dream

I wake up in my new bed, the sun shining trough my window. Is this here a lucid dream? I don't know anymore, what is going to happen. Mayby I should leave a spoken message here ... okay, there is my recorder.

"Hello ... my name is Jack. And you mayby never going to hear this message. I get hunted by ... something. Or at least, I think. Hearing a strange voice sometimes. I thought, I had a normal life here. A twenty year old men, who has a job and a normal life. And now? Now ... I don't even know anymore, what is real and what is a dream. Is this world a dream? It looks like, I'm important, because this voice wants me, I think ... but I don't know, why. What? What was that sound?! I have to go ..."

I hear someone knocking on my door. I end the message and walk to the door. When I open the door, I see Alex standing there. "Hey, Jack. How are you doing?"

"Who says, that you are real?" I slowly get nervous. I can't think clear anymore. What is, when Twilight is right? When this all here is just a lucid dream from me?

"What do you mean with real?" I look nervous to him. "I'm ... it's complicated, okay?"

"Are you all right?" What did Twilight say? That everything you a lucid dreaming goes real? So, what if I lucid dreaming about this world? Then ... I created a whole world with an own history?! That's crazy and awesome.

"NO! DEFINITLY NO!" My mind is spinning. I don't want this to be a dream. Why me, why do I have the ability to lucid dream so often? But I don't want to be Equestria a dream neither ...

"Hey, calm down, what is happening?" Try to do something, that isn't normal here ... Flying! I start running away from Alex. "Jack?! WAIT!"

Alex start following me, but I keep running. If this is really a dream, I should do anything I want, right? So, why not flying?! I jump ... and ... it ... WORKS!

"Jack? What the hell are you?!" I fly ... I really fly ... so ... this is really just a dream ...

"Good. You stupid pony found it finally out." Again that voice. "Jack ... WHAT ARE YOU!?"

"I need you soon, Sweetfull Dream. To finish my plan. You are something special. That's why I choiced you. Do you know anything about your family history, Sweetfull Dream? I'm sure your special somepony knows already about you, that stupid little princess. Have fun with your last dream about your own created world. WAKE UP! Time for your OC here to die. Kill yourself, now!"

"What?! No!" I'm not killing myself!

"DO IT!" Again my head hurts ... more then ever before. "And then come to me ... I show you the way."

"NEVER!" I try to get rid of the voice. "I am strong enough, to come to the library, killing her and take you with me ... and everypony, who try to stop me dies too."

"NO!" It wouldn't do that ... o-or?

"So you not want, that somepony get hurt, right? Then, fullfill your destiny ... and come on your own will to me. But now, die!"

I wasn't sure ... my head hurts ... but I can't let that happening, that it kills Twilight ... I never could live with that.

"....... fine!"

If this is the only way ... then I die. I start to fly really high into the sky ... and then let myself fall to the ground. I hope, at the end, that this here is really only my second me ... and that Sweetfull Dream, me as a pony, is my real me ... I think, no one or nopony could ever said, they died twice ... for me, now, hopefully, this is my first time ... I'm falling ... more and more ... I start to cry ... I hear Alex and other people screaming ... I see the street ... closer and closer ... Did Michael feeled the same, when he was falling from the building? Will it hurt? Will it ............................................................

"Good. And know come to me, Sweetfull Dream! Fullfill your destiny ..."

...

Chapter 12: It got to be my destiny?

I open my eyes pretty fast. It's still night here in Ponyville. I looking around and see that Twilight falled asleep, her wing still on my back. How cute. I really start to love her. But I have to leave ... for her. For everypony. Complete my destiny. It hurts, really, to go away ... but it has to be this way. I sigh and try to crawl away from her wing, to leave, moving slowly. But she wakes up and looks to me. "You are not going away, Sweet."

Her horn glows and I can't move anymore. "I know everything about you ... and your family history, Sweet."

What?

"What do you me-" But she stopped me mid-sentence. "I readed about your family in a book ... about lucid dreaming."

"Re-really?" I look confused and shocked at the same time ... She find something about my family, in a book about lucid dreaming.

"Yes. This world you are *living*, when you are dreaming. It's not created by you. It's created by one of your family members far away in the past. They all had that special talent, to lucid dream everytime. The first generation in your family history ... found out, that this is a really dangerous talent, because everything that happens in a lucid dream went real. So they started to control it ... and so, they managed to create a totally different world. Generation to generation, they made it to controlling it better and better. The names from your family history ... every name stands in the book ... and the last name in it, the newest member of the family ... is you, Sweetfull Dream. That's why you are dreaming a second life in your lucid dreams. And you didn't knew, what life is your life. Your lucid dreaming ... so, in a strange way, BOTH worlds are real. Our world ... and your lucid dream world. Because, everything you lucid dreaming ..."

"... really happens." I can't believe that ... woah ...

"Exactly. Sweet? It is really important ... did you really never dreamed about us?" I know, I have to leave her for the better ... but I can't lie to her. I love her to much for that.

"I ... yes, but only one time. Few days ago, I think, it was monday or tuesday. You suddenly walked in front of me ... and you fell on your face ... you bleeded on your lips and you lost some teeth. Short after that, you where gone." Twilight nods. "And that really happened ... so that's why it happened to me. Because you lucid dreamed it. Have you something else to tell me?" I feel a little pain trough my head. "Hurry up!"

"Ohhh ... no, nothing ..." I can't tell her about THAT!

"I don't believe you, Sweet ..." I get nervous. "Twilight, I have to leave ... it's really important."

"No. You stay here." I sigh and look to her. "I'm sorry, Twilight Adorable Sparkle ..."

Without a warning, I kiss her on her lips for around 10 seconds, tears falling from my eyes. "I have to leave ... that is the only thing, I can tell you ... Good bye, my special somepony ..."

And with tears falling from my eyes, I run out of the library, knowing, that this will never work out or happen ...

"Go into the Everfree Forest ... when you reach it ... follow the light."

"I do ..." I make my way to the entrance of the Everfree Forest. And there is really a moving light hovering. So that's how it going to end? Follow a light to somepony, you never met before? So long nopony get hurted, it's okay. I follow the light deeper into the Everfree. It is really dark here ... I only know, where I'm walking, because of the light ... Deeper and deeper ... I think, I walk for a hour now ... huh? A ... castle?

"Welcome to your new home, Sweetfull Dream."

"Stop talking to me ..." I make my way into the castle. It is still dark, even inside. Only the light shows me, where I have to go. After a while, I come to a smaller room. The light leaves in the shadows "Finally you ... uhm, I mean, finally you are here."

"So, what do you want from me?" The pony, the one, who always talked to me the last few days, turns around to face me. A black mare, black fur, black mane, black tail. The eye color was the only thing on her, that is blue. "I need you ... to overtake Equestria."

"What? No!" She laughs. "If you don't do it, I have to kill everypony, that could be dangerous ... including a specific purple princess ..."

"Grrrrr ..." I glare to her. "But if you do, what I want ... then nopony get hurted."

I sigh out loud and nod. "... fine. What do I have to do?"

"I'm not powerful enough, to control the sun and the moon. Killing Celestia and Luna wouldn't help me to reach that. So I need them alive ... but I need something, something to keep them captured alive ... and giving their magic to me. That is the point, YOU come in game. Your lucid dreaming. You can dream about a machine, that captures them alive and giving me their magic. They are alive, but can't fight me then. Okay? Can you lucid dream about that?" I look shocked, but know, I have not much choice. "I ... I don't know. I only dreamed about that other world."

"You can do it." I sigh again. "Fine ... I give it a try."

"Good ... sleep well, Sweetfull Dream." I look up. "I don't fall asleep that fa-arghh!"

I feeling pain in my head ... so strong, I ...............

Chapter 13: Find a way out

I wake up ... and for the very first time ... I'm not a human ... I'm still a pony. Also, there is no world ... just darkness. Not even a single flower. I looking around, but there is still nothing here. Is this happened, when my human self died? I try to think about a little flower. I close my eyes tight and then open them ... and there is really a flower. Wait ... if that is working, can I ...?

"Don't even try to think about killing me! I can still give you enough pain, to stop you ... better do that, what I'm allowing you to do!"

DARN IT!

"Fine ... hmmm ..." Looks like, there is no other way ... well ... at least, they are alive, right?

"Okay, here we go!" I close my eyes tight again ... thinking about a capsule ... two of them ... with a magical generator, that ... allowing her to use the magic from the ponies inside. I open my eyes ... and again, it worked.

"Good. But I still missing ... ponies."

I have no other choice. I would just kill her, but she would stop me, everytime I trying. I feel really bad for what I going to do now ... When I close my eyes again ... and think about ... princess Celestia and princess Luna ... captured in the capsules. I do not want to open my eyes ... not want, to see them ...

"It really works! Good work, Sweet!"

Just ... stop going on my nerves.

"Now you got, what you want! Can I go? Can I back to Ponyville?"

"Sure ... but ... if you tell anypony about this here ... then I have to kill everypony who knows about it."

"Okay ... can you wake me up somehow?" I sigh loud.

"Sure!"

Again that strong pain ...

I wake up, looking forward. She stands in front of me, grinning. "Good morning, Sweet. And thanks for your help here. Nopony have to suffer, so long you don't tell anything. I feel already the power ... mhhh ... looks like, it's time, to let the sun shine."

She uses her horn and it start glowing bright. I walk outside and see the sun rising in the sky. She really does it by her own!

"You can go ... if I need you again, I contact you!"

I gulp. Because of the sun, I can see here better now. But do I even want to go back?

"Just follow the sun, and you are back in Ponyville."

"Thanks!" I growl the thanks out in anger. I start following the sun. After a long walk, I finally made my way back to Ponyville. I see the ponies walking around happily ... they all have no idea, what happened. And then, I see the most adorable pony I ever saw ... Twilight. And she sees me too. "There you are!"

"What?!" I gulp loud, when I remembered what I did before leaving. "Why did you run away?! You scared me!"

I feel really bad ... because we are in the middle of Ponyville and everypony is now looking at us. "Twilight, calm down ..."

"No! Why did you run away in the middle of the night? Saying, you have to leave? Run away and crying? And ..." She comes slowly closer to me.

"... why do you ..." Now she is in front of me.

"... saying, you love me and then leave me alone?" And, without any warning, where everypony can see us, she kiss me ... and it is wonderful. I love every single second from it. I start too blush, but ... nevermind, I love this moment and I love her. I wish, this moment would never end. I think, it took 2 minutes, before she stop kissing me. I open my eyes, my muzzle still open from the surprise. Everypony is looking to us right now. And ... she blushes too ... how cute.

"I ... I think, we should continue in the library. Spike is helping Rarity out, so don't worry, Sweet." She walks straight to her library ... is she ... shaking her flank? I'm a bit confused now.

"Hey, come on, go with her!" I look up into the sky to see a cyan blue pony with ... Rainbow Dash.

"Come on, not everypony get this chance!" I blush even harder. "Uhm ... uh ... sure ... uhm ... right on my way ... uhm ..."

I start walking ... to the library. My heart beats faster and faster ... are we really going to ... have "fun"?! Finally I reach the library. Twilight closes the door with her magic. She then comes closer too me. And then she ... "Come on, Sweet, lie down ... and then, you tell me WHAT IS BUCKING WRONG WITH YOU!"

I wince hard. "Huh?!"

"You are not just going to the Everfree Forest and coming back, without any reason! Tell me, why do you ..."

I can't tell her ... I need to change the topic.

"So you don't love me really, huh?" She stops and looks confused about the sudden topic. "What?"

I feel bad ... no, really.

"You ... do not love me, right?" She looks down, blushing. "I'm ..."

"I knew it ..." I look as sad as possible. "No ... wait ... I ... I ... I love you. Really. I just want to know, why you go to the Everfree Forest ... Don't worry, I made a protection shield. Nopony from the outside can hear us, not even with any kind of magic ...."

You can still here me, right? Hello?

"Wait ... not even with magic?" No reply from her. Can it be?

"Uhm ... yes." My sad face turns into a wide grin. "You are really the best pony here, Twilight!"

She blushes harder. "T-thanks ..."

"No, really. Finally, I can tell you, what is going on." I grins to her. "Huh?"

"I ..." But somepony suddenly enters the library ... it was Rising Shine. "Hello you two ... uhm ... I don't interrupting you two in something, or?"

"No ... you can hear to, close the door." He nods and closes the door behind him. "Okay."

"Okay. You ... or at least Twilight, knows that I'm lucid dreaming, since I was born. The whole thing about it can Twilight tell you, Rising. In the last few days ... I always hearing a voice in my head, talking to me. She called me Sweetfull Dream ... that's why I remembered my real name. She needs me for a plan ... to overtake Equestria. If I told you about that, she would had kill you. Remember Twilight? I told you, that I can't tell you, why I have to go. But now I can. She used my lucid dreaming. I ... I ... I have to lucid dream for her ... creating with my lucid dreaming a machine ... that captures Celestia and Luna ... and give their magic to her. Celestia didn't rise the sun today ... that was her." I look up to Twilight who looks shocked. "What?!"

"I'm sorry ..." She shakes her head. "You didn't had a choice, Sweet ..."

"Twilight is right. We don't blame you for this." Rising smiles to me.

They still like me? Even after that, what I done?

"I ..." They all looking to me. "We are helping you, okay? You met her, right?"

"Yeah ... black fur ... black mane and tail ... but the eyes are blue." Rising suddenly stopped smiling, slowly frowning and thinking. "No ... no that can't be ... I know her."

"What? You know her, Rising?" We both look surprised to him. "Yeah ... I know her back from school ... her name is Black Star."

"Come on ... tell." Rising sighs. "Allright ..."

And we both start, listening to Rising ...

Chapter 14: Past, present, future

"Alright ... I know her. I have met her in my school, in the first few years. She was a really shy filly, and didn't had her cutie mark yet ..." I look up to him, remembering something.

"Wait, but she still doesn't ..." Rising stops me with holding his hoof up. "She has one ... about that later. We just have met, bumped into each other on accident. I was a bit shy too, so we just looked into each others eyes for a few seconds. Then I said *Sorry*. She looked too me ... and she was smiling. She isn't a bad pony ... she opened her heart to me. She told me everything about her terrible life. Her parents hate her for what race she is. Generation to Generation, every new foal, was a pegasi ... except for her. She was the first non-pegasi in her whole family history ... a unicorn. She hated her life ... her parents use her for doing everything, because *She is a useless, dirty shame for us* ... she was really thinking to make a end to her sad and depressing life ... she was only 8 years old, during that time!"

Both, me and Twilight, looking shocked. "That sounds horrible!"

Rising nods. "It was ... She didn't had any friends, rumors about her, that her parents told other parents, where heard soon everywhere. Enough to scare other colts and fillies away from her. But I took her as a friend ... showing her the good side of life. And she liked it. She enjoyed it, she was happy for the very first time in her life. No, not a *My special somepony* thing, no love, just very good friends. But suddenly, her parents found out about me beeing her friend ... and ... she should live in shame ... in shame, that she is no pegasi. *You there! A monster like her doesn't deserve friends! You leave her or we leave with her!*. Of course I stayed with her. So they ... went to Manehattan, far away from me. It really brokes me, that she get threated like horseapples ... she is not a bad pony ... her life just made her, like she is now. I never saw her again since then, only heared, she got ponynapped after leaving her home ... Mail ..."

I shake my head. "Sweet ..." He nods.

"Sweet ... please, don't hurt her ... she isn't bad ... if you really have to fight her ... I come with you. Mayby she is remembering me. Mayby we can help her together, getting out of her darkness ... Please, Sweet." I look down, thinking what he said. "I ..."

Twilight interupt us. "I don't meet her, I don't know, how bad she really is. But when it comes to a fight ... then I have too ..."

Rising looks shocked. "Twilight, no ..."

Twilight shakes her head. "I don't killing anypony! I just ... turn her to stone ... or do something, so she can't be dangerous anymore."

Rising interupts. "Think about your life ... do you both don't losed somepony, you really liked?"

Twilight shakes her head again. "No. My parents are alive ... my BBBFF too ... the princesses are all alive, even when they are captured ... my friends are alive ... and ..."

She looks over to me with a smile. "... my special somepony stands right next to me ... so no ... I didn't ..."

Rising sighs annoyed. "Fine, fine ... and you, Sweet?"

"I ..." And then I remember ... about my 10th birthday ... I start, getting tears in my eyes, rolling down my cheeks ... the day, my parents died ... "Sweet ... are you ... okay?"

"I ... losed my parents ... on my 10th birthday ... an accident happened ... they wanted to surprise me ... but they didn't came back to home ... t-then ... later ... some nurse from the hospital came ... and told me, what happened ... I ..." Twilightand Rising frown. "Sweet ..."

And then I feel something warm around me ... wonderful warm. Twilight is hugging me. Rising speaks again. "You can cry, Sweet ... it's okay. But you know, how it feels, right? Losing somepony? Okay, you lost your parents ... that is way worser then a good friend, who still lives ..."

I start to cry a lot ... for several minutes long. Then I slowly stop, letting out little sobs. "Rising is right ... T-Twilight. We should try it. And when ... it's still not working ..."

"It's okay, Sweet ..." And then she gives me a short kiss on my lips. "I get my friends, together we ..."

"No! I do this by my ..." Both stopping me. "We come with you, Sweet."

"Yes, I don't let you fight alone." They both have something serious in ther looks. I can't let them bring in trouble ...

"No! You already done enough for me! It's too dangerous ... I don't want too lose you both ..." They shake her heads, still looking serious. "Sweet ... we doing this on our own will. It's our own decision. When we die ... then it is, because we want to help you ..."

"Rising ..." Twilight nods. "He is right ... if we fail ... we fail together."

"Twilight ..." I let out a loud sigh. "We should go soon ... but we should wait until the night."

"Why?" Rising looks confused. "Mayby we can surprise her."

"You say, she is talking to you?" I nod. "Yeah ..."

"I use a spell against you then ... so she can't get into your mind anymore." Her horn glows short, before I feel a short pain on my whole body. "Sorry, it hurts. But now, you are safe from her."

"Thanks, Twilight."

And so we waited until the night. Twilight readed loud a Daring Do book for the time.

"Let's go ... do you know the way, Sweet?" I shake my head. "Not exactly ... it's a castle as far I remember."

"A castle? I think, I was there already, with Princess Celestia, but there was nopony. Secret entrance?" I nod. "Yep."

"Okay. I know the way then. Time to make you a peaceful future, Sweet."

We moving out of the library and making our way to the Everfree Forest. Twilight uses a spell, to make her horn light, so we can see better in the dark forest. "Follow me and stay close."

Me and Rising follow Twilight for a while, until we hear a noise from somewhere. "What was that?"

"Pssssst ..." Again the same noise as before. "Oh no ... Timberwolves! Follow me, fast!"

We keep following Twilight ... or better running. I feel them coming closer and closer and then ...

... we see the castle. We directly run inside and closing the door.

"We ... we did it." We all panting from the running. "That was close."

"Hello, there." We all look up to the pony who just talked. "Huh?"

There she was. Black Star.

"So you are Black Star." Twilight glares to her. "Yes, I am ... Princess Twilight Sparkle."

"Hey, you still didn't told, why she has no cutie mark." Twilight looks to Rising. "Forgot that, but this is not ..."

"R ... Rising?" Star looks directly to Rising, her eyes wide, the confusion written on her face. "Yeah ... it's me, Star. Rising Shine, your friend." He smiles, but she seem to look disappointed. "Rising ... I have no friends ... you don't even tried to bring me back. You said, you will come ... to save me ... bring me back into my beautiful life ... but you never came ..."

"I'm sorry, Star ..." She shakes her head. "Don't call me like that ... you are no friend ... all your friendship ... isn't real. No friendship goes forever ... nopony likes me ... because of all of you, I suffering ... my whole life ... and you all ... will do, what I'm saying!"

"Star ..." She get into an attacking position, glaring to Rising. "STOP CALLING ME STAR, YOU USELESS PONY!"

"I ..." I look to Rising ... I never saw him shocked. Until now. Is he going to ... cry?

"S-Star ..." Tears building up on his eyes. "Cry, little colt, I like that, you looking so stupid."

Yep, he is crying now.

"HEY! Stop hurting his feelings!" She smiles calmly to Twilight. "Princess, calm down ... or I going to hurt you."

"We will see!" Twilight's horn glows bright and she shoots a spell to Star ... I don't know, what spell. But Star does the same. The spells hit together. I get blended by a giant bright light ... and then everything went black ...

Chapter 15: Unexpected destiny

I wake up shortly, after the light knocked me out for a bit. I looking around and see, that Star is still standing. "Oh, my dear princess ... I have the power of two princesses in me ... you can't stop me like that."

I look worried to Twilight on my right side. She don't look hurted either. "I will get you ..."

"If you try again, I will kill you."

Twilight then looks to me. "SWEET! Oh no, are you okay?"

Twilight looks shocked to me. I just look confused. "Well ... yeah, why not?"

I only know realized, that I'm laying on my back. My whole body have violations. Some of them bleeding. "E-Everything is going to be fine, Sweet."

Her smile filled me with love. But I hear crying from somewhere. I look to my left side ... and see Rising is still crying. "S-Star stop i-it. We d-don't want to kill you ... I'm y-your friend ... really, I can't hurt you."

Star shakes her head annoyed. "Stop going on my nerves, Rising,. You are not a friend ... nopony is ..."

Rising glares to her, tears rolling down his cheeks. "WHY YOU NOT LISTENING! I'm your bucking friend, Star!"

"Pfff ..."

She looks away from him, annoyed to listen to Rising. "Listen ... when I was old enough ... I travelled to your new home ... I asked everypony I meet, if they know you ... finally, somepony with an answer ... I went to the adress, he gives me ... but ... you was not there ... nopony was there ... I don't know, where else I could searched ... then I heard what happened to you ... I tought I never would see you again ... so I forgot you after time ... I'm so sorry ..."

Is Star looking ... sad?

"What is ... if you lying?" Rising stands up, wishing his tears away. "When I'm lying ... then you can kill me. Here. RIGHT NOW!"

Rising is standing there now ... ready to die? But Star does ... nothing, just standing there too. What is going on?

"I ... I'm sorry, I still can't trust you ... but also, I can't kill you." Rising looks directly to her. "Do you ... let us go?"

She shakes her head. "No ... yes ... you can go, Rising. But they can't."

"But there are my friends ... Sweet ... is a really close friend to me ... even when I have met him few days ago. He saved my life with Twilight ... if they wasn't there to help me ... I would be already dead right now. I'm not going anywhere without them." Star sighs, looking down. "Well ... I'm not going to kill you ... but I can't let them go either."

"But ..." She looks then directly to Rising, glaring at the pegasi. "I said NO!"

"Rising ... it's okay ... go ... live your life. We can do this ..." I give him a little smile. "Sweet ..."

"Go, please ..." It's only for the best ...

"But ... no ... I don't go." He shakes his head. "Rising ..."

"I stay with you. And ... if she is going to kill you, she has to kill me first ..." Star frowns a little. "Rising ... I can't kill you ..."

"Well ..." I think her horn glows a little ...

" ... I can't kill you ..." Then, something happens ... she uses a spell against Rising ... and turning him into stone. "I can't kill you, Rising ... but if you are going in my way ... I have to stop you somehow ... I'm sorry."

"TURN HIM BACK!" Twilight glares to her, her horn glowing bright. "I can't princess, I can't ..."

"Well, if you not going to turn him back, I turn you ..." Her horn glows brighter. "Don't ... even ... try."

"I have too, if you ... ARGHH!!!" Twilight get hit by a spell from Star, totally unexpected. I feel tears rolling over my cheeks. "NO! TWILIIIIIIIIIGHT!!!"

I can't belive this. She really did it ... she ... killed ... TWILIGHT! Her still warm body falls on me. I see tears falling from her closed eyes ... she is really gone ... no way, to bring her back to life ... her body is ... getting colder ... I can't believe this ... she is really ... dead. Twilight ... nooooooo ...

I start to cry loud, slowly hugging her dead body. "She was on my way ... you better not try to get me ... or I will do the same to you ... I don't need you anymore."

THAT MONSTER KILLED HER!

"What ... what did you just ..." She chuckles. "Oh, come on, you didn't really loved her anyway. You just loved her, because she was a princess."

"That is not true!" She chuckles again happily. "Oh, come on ..."

"I loved her ... with all my heart and soul. She was my special somepony ... that must be my destiny ... that I found them ... good new friends ..." I look to Rising. "... and my special somepony ..."

Her body is completly cold now ... no life left ...

"Oh, how cute ..." I glare to her, more hate builds up in my body, even more then when Michael ripped my Fluttershy plushie in front of me. "Your hate overtakes you ... you just killed a pony ... no, not just a pony ... the best pony in my life ... I had a strange life, thanks to the whole lucid dreaming stuff ..."

Wait ... that's it! Lucid dreaming! No ... for that, I have to sleep ...

... I don't have a choice ... this is my destiny ... dying here ... today ... now!

"I can't live without Twilight and Rising anymore ... if you not need me, please ... kill me." She looks surprised. "I don't killing for fun."

I stand up, putting Twilight's dead body away from me and give her cold cheek a quick kiss, feeling tears running down my cheeks again. "I'm so sorry, Twi ..."

And then I start running to her ... I feel power in me ... so strong.

"Then I KILL YOU!" Closer and closer and ... "You choice your way here, huh?"

I see her, shooting a spell to me ...

That was the last thing, I saw ...

I'm coming home, Twilight ...

Chapter 16: Dying wish

Everything is black ... deep black.

I open my eyes.

Everything now is white ... really light white.

I look around, but here is nothing ... until somepony touch my shoulder.

"Hello there, Sweetfull Dream. Your time has come to left the world behind." I turn around, to see ... Twilight?!

"Twilight, you ..." She has some unnaturally calm in her smile, shaking her head. "I'm not Twilight Sparkle. I just use the look from her. I thought, the pony, you loved most will make it easier for you to pass."

Oh ...

"Be sad. That's normal, no need for shame." She still smiles calmly to me. "So, this is pony heaven? I ... expected more."

"Well, you are not going to heaven ... not today." I look confused. "What? But I never ..."

"It has his reason, trust me." She still smiles calmly. "Uhm ... who are you really then?"

"Even when she has no idea, I'm a part of Princess Luna. My purpose is to make the end easier for passing ponies and giving them there dying wish." I'm totally stunned by that. "If your a part of her, what if she dies?"

"It doesn't matter what status she is, even know, captured in the machine you created and in a deep sleep, I'm always here. But to your question, only, and only then, if she dies, I'm gone too. Then there is no dying wish ... then there is nopony to help passing the life. If Luna dies, I'm gone forever."

"I see, better hope she don't die ever then." She nods. "Anyway ... like everypony, who dies, you got a last wish." I look up. "Dying wish, right?"

"Yes. You have one wish." I grins. "Fine, I wish, I'm back to kick Star's ..."

"No ..." She shakes her head. "Huh?"

"There are a few rules for the wish. In your idea, first: You can't wish yourself back to life. Second: You can't wish, that somepony dies. There are a few more, but I think in your case, those 2 are important." I sigh annoyed. "I see ..."

"You have all the time to think about it, Sweetfull Dream."

I don't know ... I have no idea.

"How much time I have to think about it?" She chuckles. "Forever ... you know, there is no *time* here. All this here, happens 1 second after you died. So even when you think a whole year ..."

"... there is in reality only 1 second happened?" She nods. "Yes."

I think ... and think ... and think ... and ... wait, I'm so stupid, even when I'm dead.

"I know now." She smiles calmly again. "Really? Say."

"Allright then ... mayby this was my destiny from the beginning ... I wish, that Twilight bring Star back to normal. So, she is alive, Rising is happy and Star can start a new life. Everypony is happy then." She smiles more. "Yes, everypony will be happy. A good wish, you have. All right then, time to fullfill your wish."

"Thank you."

She start to glow, revealing herself ... I never saw something so beautiful and breathtaking before. With tears in my eyes, but smiling, I close my eyes. They can live now peacefully ... I feel something ... I start to fly. Thanks for this life, they all gave me ... Good bye.

Chapter 17: You will always be in our hearts

I open my eyes slowly. How can I live? Star killed me ... I looking around, hopefully seeing Sweet. When I see him ... no. Is he ... dead? His eyes are closed, his body isn't moving. But he is smiling. And I'm alive ... can it be ... can it be, that his dying wish worked really? That he wished, I'm back alive? Can it be, that my will work too? Sooner or later? No time for that, I have to stop Star. I see her, she is looking to Rising, away from me. I feel power in me. I'm not going to kill her ... but I'm going to help her back to normal. Something like I did with my friends against Nightmare Moon. Hope, she didn't realized, that I'm back. I start, my horn is glowing. And then I shoot the spell to her ...

I can see her ... she look like the same before ... but, she look more friendly and shy ... not evil and bad.

"Are you ... the true Black Star? The one, Rising Shine knows?" She looks up to me scared. "Who are you? GO AWAY!"

She even sound more friendly, even when scared right now.

"No ... I'm here to help you. I know about your bad life. It must be really hard for you." She looks down. "It was ... it ate my soul."

"Yes. And I am here, to free you from the darkness, that controls you." She sighs. "Nopony can free me ... the darkness will kill you ..."

"I don't think so, I will rescue you." I give her my hoof and smile to her. "No ... that wouldn't work!"

"Listen too me ... trust me, Black Star. You can be yourself ... you can see your friend, Rising again ... forever." She looks up. "I ... I'm ... I ... R-Rising?"

"Please ... I got this chance only from my best friend. He sacrifice his life for this. He was my ... special somepony ... please, take my hoof. I'll promise you, we will escape from here. You have to believe me." And then, she gives me her hoof finally. Right in that moment, some kind of black tendrils going to attack us. I use a light spell ... and it works. "Time too see the real Black Star ... get on my back."

She climbs on my back, my horn still glowing. "Hold on tight."

Still using the spell, I start flying with her, straight to the sun. It feels warmer and warmer ... until I land on the ground. I open my eyes. We are back in the castle. I look to Star. "Please, let it work ..."

She stands up ... turning around to me. Then she comes closer to me. I don't have the feeling, that she is going to hurt me ... when she reached me ... she ... hug me. "T-thank you. Thank you to save me. Thanks."

"I'm here to help, no problem." I hug her back. "Twilight, right? Sorry for all of this. I wasn't my- ..."

"It's okay ... but you should help your friend there." She looks to Rising, her eyes widen. "RISING!"

She uses a spell directly on him and Rising can move again. "Rising! I'm so sorry!"

Then, she runs to him and hug him tight. Rising hugs her tight back, rubbing her back. "So you are finally back, huh? Welcome back, Star."

They both are crying. Crying, that they are together again. Friends. But this isn't my happy end. I losed my friend ... no, he was more. I look to his dead body, tears getting in my eyes. I hoped it would work ...

"I'm sorry, Twilight ... there is nothing to bring him back, right?" I just shake my head ... why isn't it working ...

--------------------------------------------------5 days later--------------------------------------------

There they come. Princess Celestia and Princess Luna. I stand with Star and Twilight in the crowd of ponies. So many ponies came today. Saying good bye to Sweet. My life changed, thanks to him. When I didn't have met him accidentally ... It must be destiny.

"Today, we are all here, to say a good pony, good bye. Most of you may don't even know him, but for those ponies here, he was something special. A nice stallion ... a good friend ... a special somepony ..." Celestia looks to Twilight. She is crying. "... but at the end, he helped us all. Without him, without his dying wish ... we all wouldn't be here right now. Thanks to him and our newest Princess, Twilight Sparkle, a pony named Black Star, wouldn't be back to normal. We would be still captured. And some of you would be already dead. So let us say good bye to him. Dying is a rare thing in Equestria. It is always hard to lose somepony forever. Always. I saw ponies come and go. Mayby some of you too. But life goes on. And for him and all the other ones, who already gone, we should continue life. Remember the dead, but still continue life. And now a minute of silence for or friend."

And we all do. Nopony said anything. Completly silence. A whole minute.

"Thank you all. Our friend Fluttershy made a little song for him, after talking with Twilight." To surprise for everypony, Fluttershy appears on the podium. Even I didn't expect that ... afterall she is really shy. I think, this is a special situation.

"T-thank you. I don't know him good, but Twilight told me about him. He was a good pony. She asked me, if I can sing the short text, she gave me. Normally, I wouldn't, but I think, for her, I should do. From Twilight, for Sweet, if you can hear us ..." And then, she start to sing ... her voice is wonderful.

"When you know, you have done
to pass this life, to gone
Their will always be somepony
who remember what you done.

You will never be forgotten
even when you are rotten

You will always be in our hearts

We hope you lived well
in our big world
Remember the good and bad
and be proud of it

You was a wonderful friend
we'll never can show you that
but we all know in our hearts,
that you will be watching us.

Now it's time to say good bye
to our friend, to your life
And someday, in a far new world
we will see you happy alive.

And now, we sing together
for or loved friend
we will always keep you friend
in our place, in our heart."

Some of the ponies here, start to cry, especially Twilight. I feel sad too, tears in my eyes. Thank you a lot, Sweet ... I hope, you would like my book about you ...

------------------------------------------8 hours later-------------------------------------------

"Thank you ... thank you for everything, Sweet ... and that my dying wish worked."

Here I am. His grave.

"He was a good one ..." Rising and Star nodding. "Yes ... like he deserve it ..."

"Yep ... like I deserve it. You know, Twilight ... why do you wished, that I'm alive, few hours later?" Sweet looks to me, smiling. "Because I can't live without you anymore."

"But you know, that we can't see again ... they all thinking, I'm dead." Twilight looks down. "I know ... but I know, that you gave me something 4 days ago, that will remember me on you. New life." She smiles. "Can you care our foal alone?"

"I and Star helping her." They both nodding again. "Okay. I better go now ... new life, new identity, new look. I promise you, I will write you every monday, so long I live."

"Yes ... I will miss you, Sweet." Rising smiles. "Me too ..."

"I will miss you too. You are the only ponies, who knows, that I'm not dead ... anymore. The sun is beautiful today." Twilight sighs. "Sweet ..."

"Twilight ..." I kiss him, with tears in my eyes. "Good bye ... live good."

"So long you are alive, I am happy. I have to go now ... Good bye, you four."

And there he goes ... starting a new life ... following his new destiny. Sweet is dead ... but also still here. It hurts, to lie everypony, that he is dead. But so, he isn't in danger because of his magic. But I know, I will see him again ... sooner or later ... Good bye.

I smile and rub my belly, knowing that inside my womb is a foal, slowly growing inside ... Sweet Sparkle.

End

Credits:(Just something funny I do^^)

Something has gone wrong. We don't seem to have an archived copy of that chapter.

Chapter 5: New beginning

I wake up as usual until ... I realize something. When I always wake up as a human, I lay on my back, arms and legs laying like from a pony from the show. When I wake up as a pony, I lay on the side, like I fall asleep as a human. Funny.

"Haha." I stand up from my bed, yawning out loud. And then I remember. My own house. My new beginning. And no hiding anymore about beeing a brony, that's for sure. I feel really fresh: No secrets, no problems. I feel better then ever in my entire life before. For a moment, I feel like, to jump out from my house, run to the street, start dancing in the middle of the street and sing Pinkie's Smile-Song. But I think, that is too much ... at the moment. So I just go ... wow. I was in front of my door, ready to open it, when I realized, that I had only my underwear on. I walk back and put my clothes on. After a minute, I was really ready to go now. I'm still missing my Fluttershy plushie, but, afterall, I have enough money to just buy a new one. Time for some shopping ...

... on the internet. I going to buy with my new laptop I have. Bed, TV and everything else important, just buyed with one click. After that all is done, I leave to work ... afterall we have only wednesday.

On my work, I meet my workmate from yesterday again. "Hey, how you doing today, Jack?"

"Fine. Have a new place to live now." I smile a little to him. I still don't know, how to think about him yet. "Yeah, after this, it was clear, that you go away from him. And sorry, that I told that. Didn't recognized you're head shaking was to me."

"I didn't know, that you like MLP." He just laughs. "Haha, no one does. For them, I'm the awesome guy, who work here."

"So, you hiding beeing a brony?" He shakes his head. "No. I'm totally open with it. But no one asked me about that, so I never really mentioned it."

"Ah, okay. Hey, what is your name?" Funny, how I know him, but not his name ... I'm really bad with names sometimes, huh? "Didn't told you? It's Alex."

"Okay then, I have to work. Mayby we can see us on the weekend?" He smiles wide to me. "Yeah, sure. Well, see ya then."

And then he leaves.

The rest of the day at work went normal. After work was over, I went back to my new home. I open my laptop to check, that all the things I buyed, are coming on friday. After that, I went to my air mattress, laying down on it and closing my eyes. At least a normal day, without anything strange lately ...
