Wake up!

It was a normal day in Equestria. I WOKE UP to the sound of the melodious music of the singing bird. I smile. I thought about all the activities that awaited me. I thought about the slumber party I was going to plan. I am so excited! I stand up and I was met with a picture of my family and I, including Spike, It was my fifth birthday party, the last one before being enrolled into Celestia's School For Gifted Students. I go downstairs and greet Spike who was cooking mouthwatering pancakes. He greeted me with a smile. I greedily, yet with no regrets, eat the pancakes. I get that princesses are supposed to eat with proper etiquette, no crumbs around my mouth or syrup covering my lips, but I did not care. I was hungry! I just WOKE UP and the the last time I ate was early last night. I get up and wave goodbye to Spike.

I took a stroll in Equestria. The sun was a brilliant disc in the cerulean blue sky, with no signs of downcast around. Pinkie Pie was skipping over and greeted everypony with birthdays or anniversaries. I wondered about how she was able to remember all their of birthdays! Was it part of her cutiemark. I shook the thought off. It was a paradox. Pinkie was a paradox. Nothing could describe her. Random? Crazy? Probably. But they never seem to able to describe her properly.

I trot to the market. A wide beam spread across the vendor as he saw me trot towards me.

"What can I do for ya?"the stallion inquired, cheerily. I grin. I ask for asparagus and a few more celery stalks, the usual. He smile at me as he passed the items to me.

"Have a nice day!"he called as I trot out. It was usual yet... different. Everything felt off like something at the back of my mind was shouting at me. Calling for me to WAKE UP from a dream. The thought was chilly. Terrifying, even. Imagine not knowing the difference between dreams and reality. Was I in a coma before? I realised that the thought was ridiculous! It was obvious! All we had to do was to WAKE UP! Fine, when we are in a dream, we would not realise it until we WOKE UP. A whistle from the train was heard and my own train of thought was disrupted. Remembering my plan, I went to my next destination.

I go to the town library, newly restored with a new batch of books. Books that I have never read before. Excitedly, I run into the library. As I entered, I realised that there was no librarian. That's weird. There was always a librarian. Not letting the queer fact ruin my perfect day, I take a look at the books. I scoffed at some of the tittles. How to WAKE UP or the Art of Sleeping: The Weird Feeling We Get When We WAKE UP. I find a good book. It was about a pony who was in a FANTASY WORLD and is trying to WAKE UP. I go towards the nearest seat and sit. As I was getting engrossed in the book, finally getting to the climax, a sound made my ears perk up.

I try to use my magic but it failed on me. In that desperate moment, I run to the corner and hid in a cabinet. I looked towards where the sound came from. My eyes widened. It had sharp, bloodstained teeth. His eyes were startling green. It had claws that I imagined could go through an exoskeleton. But what scared me the most was the fact that it looked like an ordinary earth pony stallion with a black coat and white mane. I wondered if was an ordinary pony at one point. It looked in the other direction. Making use of the miracle, I take a deep breathe and run out.

The monster must have heard me as he turned around and glared at me with hate-filled eyes. Ignoring it, I ran faster, faster than I ever have run in my entire life. I thought I could get away. I knew the library like the back of my hoof. Suddenly, the library wasn't a library anymore. It was my home. I try to remember where Spike was. I realised he wasn't going anywhere. This wasn't a place I knew. Panicked, I ran around like a headless chicken, with no direction. I find a hole with a cover. I get in. But the monster knew. He picked me up and screamed,"WAKE UP!"

Then it all turned black......

Aftermath

I WOKE UP to the sound of my alarm clock. I got up with a jolt. I remembered having a dream. The same one but I just can't remember. But I felt like somepony had grabbed my arm and screamed at me. Screaming at me but with no words. I try to remember what had happened but it all was just haze. Suddenly, a familiar voice called.

"Twi, get up! The Raising Of The Sun Festival has come and I don't want to miss it!"Spike whined. I sighed. I got up and had my breakfast. Spike tilted his head to the side.

"Something wrong?"he asks. I look up and realised that I had been poking at my food the entire time. I drop the fork. I murmur a mutter of apology.

I go up to my room and sigh. It was another boring day. I picked up my pillow. Something caught my attention. A piece of paper. It was just like all of its brethen. All white with some markings. I read its contents. My eyes widened. IT told me. It confirmed all of my suspicions with three words: Words Have Meaning.

Putting down the paper, I ran out to the library. I needed answers and I need it. Now

Author's Note

Sorry if the second chapter seemed rushed. My parents were shouting loudly at an already loud movie. It sucks the inspiration out of me.
