Banned From Equestria

I boarded the train the first thing in the morning. It was about a five hour train ride there. I didn't, nor couldn't, do much, what with the Royal Guards everywhere. I trotted around the castle gardens, when a guard walked up to me and said that someone by the name of Princess Luna wanted to see me. He led me to her and left me alone in a room with her. A large, midnight blue pony was seated in a throne in front of me. This room was decorated with mainly black paint and dark blue accents, with stars and a moon scattered throughout the room. The windows themselves were stained dark blue, making any light passing through them glow an eerie dark blue color. The Princess opened her eyes, and I saw they shimmered an emerald green. She spoke to me “I’m sure you know why I've called you here?” she cautiously asked. She must’ve had no idea what she herself was talking about. I didn't know why I was here, and I let her know that. After musing for a few moments, she simply said “Ah.” And then asked me, “Do you know who I am? I’m the Princess of The Night. I see what goes on in the night. I can…delve into people’s dreams.” If she was implying something at that moment, then I completely missed it. She cocked her head to the left and asked “Do you know what I've seen in your dreams?” Trying to recall what dreams I had, I found myself not being able to remember any.

I ventured a guess and asked “…err…Bad…ones?”

She shook her head and said, “No. You haven’t been having any dreams at all”.

It was almost as if that sentence was meant to have some profound effect on me. Make me notice something strange going on. But, it really didn't. I found it natural to have no dreams some days, as that happens occasionally. I just raised my hoof slightly and said “Ooook?” Yet again, she cocked her head “You think I jest? No, I do not. Everypony that has ever lived dreams. The only beings that do not dream…” she widened her eyes and smiled lightly, “…are Changelings”. She, again, gave me that look that almost seemed as if she implying something. I was as clueless as that Chicken I had met yesterday. “Furthermore, you don’t have a cutie mark. This leads me to believe you are not a pony.” Sensing danger, I instinctively backed up.

“W-Wait a second, Princess. I don’t know what’s going on here. What are you-“ my sentence was interrupted as she pounced on top of me. I now knew what Rainbow Dash had felt like. With her muzzle pressing against mine, she asked

“Who. Are. You?”

And for once, I didn't know. Who was I? I remember where I came from. Earth. What was my name? Did I have a family? A girlfriend I forgot about? Thoughts raced through my mind, and I stammered out what I knew. “I-I come from Earth…not here…” was all that I could say. She withdrew her muzzle slightly, eyes still locked onto mine.

“Ah, so you come from the Earth Pony School. In Appleoosa? A very prestigious school!” is what she said. Having no clue where the hell that was, I just nodded yes. She hesitated on top of me and I prayed that she would get off me soon; I didn't want to be trapped in a situation like this. She looked out of one of her stained glass windows, still on top of me, and said “Yes…Appleoosa. A strange place.” She looked down upon me, and then to the door. She smiled and said “I see. I’m sorry for doubting you”. Her eyes quickly flashed a sage color, and she was about to ask me something, when I suddenly felt an intense burning sensation in my thigh, and a bright white light enveloped the room; A cutie mark had apparently appeared, in the shape and form of Earth.

Even though I essentially just blew what I actually was earlier, I attempted to conceal my cutie mark. When she removed my hoof and looked at it, she pondered at what it meant, but seemed disappointed for some reason. At this point, it was getting awkward. She had been standing over me for the last five minutes, slowly lowering her body. In fact, I could feel the tip of her belly touching my stomach. I suddenly realized how, when in the light, beautiful she looked. Her long eyelashes, the almost silky like texture of her hair, and how beautiful her eyes were, and she met my gaze by staring at me seductively. Suddenly, I felt something rising in my lower body and pushed her off and cantered out of the castle as fast as I could. I boarded the next train and decided to not come back to Canterlot for a while.

I managed to get home at around 9 P.M. I let myself in and trotted up to my room, preparing for bed. When I finally did get into bed, I had an extremely difficult time actually going to sleep; knowing that somebody is watching your dreams makes it difficult to fall asleep. I finally did, and for the first time since I've been in Equestria, I dreamed.
