Lost and Searching

I was CONFUSED! Why was Pinkie Pie in Canterlot, and who was this Trevor guy she was talking about? She'd never even met a pony named Trevor before. I guess I'd have to ask her if I actually wanted to know what in Equestria she meant?

"Ummmm Pinkie, why are you in Canterlot? Isn't it your baking hour or something right now?"

She stared at me for a second, as if she hated me, but then faked me out by taking out her party cannon, which proceeded to spray me in the face with ribbons and....cake?

"Correctomundo! But I ran out of peaches at the shop, and there are no peach fields in Ponyville! I have to come to Canterlot every so often to get the ingredients I need for the most important of recipes. On the way here though, I wanted to stop at a peach stand, except I was stopped because somepony was doing a magic show! Then the castle just looked so pretty in the sun and I got all distracted by the sights! I totally forgot all about my peaches and stopped at Pony Joe's for some donuts, chocolate, which were abso-tutely-lutely delicious! What else do you need to know...particularly about Trevor?"

How does she know all of this stuff? It wasn't possible for her to know stuff that nobody else knew! was it...?

"Ok....then who is this Trevor guy!? I don't think I've ever met anypony with that name before."

"WEEEELLL....he's obviously worried about something in his mind right now. Due to the fact that he's worried, he scared a lovely girl of his, and then ran out, leaving her confused and all of his chocolate sitting on the table with her. Chocolate is so amazing! I special order it from Princess Celestia. I should give some to you sometime! It is wonderful! Did I tell you about my donut adventures! I think I wrote a book about it...or was that cupcakes....."

She wouldn't stop talking! I started to think that maybe she was so hyper due to this "special" chocolate of hers. I, in the loudest voice I could muster up, yelled, "WHY IS HE UPSET!?"

She stopped, a sudden tear forming in her eyes. I had probably scared her. I stopped her party talk, which she loved doing. I needed to know this, though.

"It's just something about ponies. It's not really important."

Could this be the guy I've been looking for? I took a mental note of his name, opening my eyes to ask some more very important questions, but she was gone. It still fazed me as to how she did that. So, I got on the train, steam pouring out of it's smokestacks. The engineer on board, Daylight Shines, yelled out, "AAAAAALLLLL ABOOOOOAAAARRRRDDD!!!"

As the train started heaving off, I wondered as to how I was going to get to the castle......

[Dream Sequence Ends]

I sat up, eyes wide and slightly shaking. That dream in particular scared me. She couldn't of known my name! She was a pony! This was a ludacris idea! I knew what to do. I grabbed a notebook from the nearest shelf, taking a pencil from the desk. I started to write everything I had seen in my dream before I forgot any of it. I put a lot of emphasis on the fact that Pinkie Pie had said my name. I needed to convince somepony I wasn't crazy and this had to be the only way that I could do so. In it, I wrote everything except for Pinkie's talking. She had too much information, most of which was pretty much impossible to remember. I also left out the part about Pinkie crying, because she didn't deserve to have that written about her. She was a great pony, just misunderstood sometimes.

Just as soon as I wrote the words on the story, they were gone. I did a double take, making sure I wasn't hallucinating. The words were literally gone from the page! They disappeared into nothingness! Where did they go!? I couldn't convince people that I wasn't crazy if I told them I wrote down a dream and it wasn't even there.

I threw a total rage fit and threw the notebook against the wall. Now I was questioning my own sanity! Wait a minute.....could I be the missing pony! My friends could also be some of them! Maybe I wasn't so crazy! If I could convince people that they were talking ponies from a land called Equestria that we needed to get back to because we lost all our memories, maybe I'd have a chance. For now, though, there was nothing I could do. It was a Sunday and no school. I decided to take out my viola again and practice my concert music, which was coming up this Friday.

My viola still looked as new as ever. I had had it for nearly four years, yet I've kept such great care of it that it will probably look new until the day I die. I pulled out the bow, making sure that everything was perfect. I went downstairs for a second to grab some breakfast, just then realizing how hungry I actually was. I grabbed an orange, quickly peeling it and swallowing it as if it was a whole orange. I rushed back up the stairs, tripping and falling down the whole flight on the way. Stupid clumsy me! I, slowly, walked back up again, slightly limping but taking it as no issue.

I took the viola up and put my music stand in front of me. I placed the music on the stand and brought the viola to my chin just as I had done the night before. I then realized that I couldn't remember how to play the viola. All the music looked like a new language to me. I tried to move the bow across the strings, but only a cackle of disharmony came from the instrument. I couldn't be doing this! It was all just a mind game!

I couldn't play the viola, I was having strange dreams, and I was convinced that I was a talking pony from another dimension. What in Equestria was going on with me!? I wasn't being myself, and I had ditched all of my friends, multiple times. I had a concert coming up this Friday and I couldn't even play a simple tune like I always had been able to do. I was done. It was hopeless. I didn't think that I'd be able to play the viola again. I just decided to give up and go downstairs for another activity.

As soon as I touched the landing, I felt oddly compelled to go over to the couch and turn on MLP. Then I got to thinking. Maybe if I watched some of it, I could trigger some memory of Equestria, with me possibly remembering who I was! I ran over to the couch and turned on the TV. The static hurt my ears and I quickly turned on Netflix to stop it. The most recently watched was always MLP as I almost always was the only to actually use Netflix. My mom has lately had this "reading craze." I felt really lucky to have such an understanding mom. Sometimes, I felt like she didn't respect the fact that I was a brony. Nobody really did except for my friends, who loved to playfully tease me about it.

I scrolled through the episodes, not really wanting to watch most of them. Quickly, though, I had picked out two episodes from the first season. I chose "Green Isn't Your Color" and "Party of One." I loved these episodes, especially the parts where Lyra was just hidden. It was fun to search for her, as well as the other background characters. After the first episode, nothing really happened and I turned on the second one. I was at the part where Pinkie Pie was talking to a bunch of inanimate objects when I started to feel woozy. Then the thought came to my mind that my mom still wasn't back. She should have been here by now, but she was probably somewhere important. Knowing her she was probably out drunk somewhere. I hated her for it.

My dizziness worsened and I took turn to lying on the couch to relieve the pressure I felt the world had on me. Soon enough though, as I watched Pinkie's friends surprise her, my eyes slowly drooped and sleep overtook me.

[Dream Sequence]

I had finally made it, through a tough sequence of teleportation spells, to the castle. Luna sent me a mental message that the two sisters needed to see me immediately. Once I entered the door of the castle, I dashed through the twisting hallways and random doors (When did those get there?) to the throne room. In the throne room, the two sister princesses had a pony. She was a light blue pony with yellow hair. She was a Pegasus pony and her cutie mark was a torch. I didn't think I had ever seen her, much less known she was going to be there. I stepped forward, addressing the two sisters (and guest) as accordingly.

"Thank you for inviting me here, but may I ask, sisters, what is she doing here?"

Princess Celestia suddenly got a grin on her face as she said in the most polite way she could.

"This is your next assignment. You, along with your other task, have to watch her and help her find her way around Equestria. She is supposedly new to Equestria. She claims she does not belong here, but we have no proof that she doesn't. She keeps saying she wants to get home, to her son Trevor, but we do not know anypony named Trevor. We think she has suffered some trauma."

I was speechless. This was the second time I'd heard his name today. It couldn't of been a coincidence. I wanted to say something, but feared to do, as I didn't want to sound just as insane. In fact, all I did was accept the task and take her out of the throne room, confronting her as soon as the door shut behind us.

"Who is this Trevor, where are you from, and how did you get here?"

She responded with quite a strange answer.

"My son, Earth, I don't know."

"C'mon then. Let's get you settled in. I'll show you around Equestria. Come along."

I teleported out of there, our first stop going to be Ponyville.

[Dream Sequence Ends]

I sat up, quickly going to record this in my dream journal, just in case it actually stayed this time. Surprisingly, nothing happened this time and as soon as I wrote the part about this pony's son, Trevor, I had an epiphany. My mom was trapped in Equestria!
