Celestia and I

"Urghh. What a strange dream. The same one yet again. Why do they keep coming back..."

I woke up and sat on the edge of my bed waiting for my vision to go back to normal.

Hi there my names Nick. I'm going to tell you how someone called Celestia changed my life forever....

And that was it. My dad had gone for yet another day as he always did.

"Don't forget, I'll will be back tomorrow. Love you son."

"Yeah ok dad. Love you to. Bye."

My dad was always out due to him being at his girlfriends every single day. I was left alone in the house every single day of every single night of every single week. He popped in for about 30 minutes then went again. I started getting really pissed off at him for not paying more attention to me when I tried to tell him that his girlfriend was a absolute cow.

As I stood up from my bed, I noticed I had left my PC on. It was still on the Friendship Is magic forums. Yes, before you ask, I am a brony. I get a lot of haters about it and I won't go into detail.

"Fucking great. I've left the computer on. Hopefully my dad didn't notice."

Oh but he did. He must have noticed as I found all of my programs, what were running last night, closed. He must of closed them and not known how to turn the PC off. Parents ehh?

I made my way downstairs. First thing I thought while going into my living room was "Xbox". Yes, I am also a gamer and absolutely love games. Only thing I really do except from talk to my brony friends and go on my PC. I did go to college but I thought meh, what was the point in continuing.

But anyway, as I was walking into the kitchen to get a drink, I heard something coming from behind me. It scared me so much I literally jumped up and turned straight around to find the cat staring at me and then doing its usual "meowww".

"Stupid cat. You always manage to shit me up don't you?"

It simply looked at me. God, I was talking to the cat. I surely was losing my mind. After I fed the cat as it wouldn't shut up, I went back to the living room to boot up my Xbox. As soon as I turned it on, my vision was going blurry again. It was because I always went to bed at like 6 am in the morning. Not very good for me as my dad says and everyone else.

After about an hour of playing on the Xbox, I heard a knock on the door. I turned my head straight to the door.

"I'm not expecting anyone. Wonder who that could be."

I walked to the door cautiously as I didn't know who it could be. As I opened the door I was surprised to see my friend, Tom, standing at the door.

"Oh, Tom. I wasn't expecting you. What you want dude?"

"I was just wondering if I could stay over for a bit. I got really bored at home and thought I'd come to bug you."

"Meh, sure. Better then being on my own as usual."

So, here I was. Sitting at home, with my friend, playing Xbox, drinking Pepsi and lazing about. This was the life. Well, for me it was anyway.

After a while, Tom mums called. He had to go home due to something happening in the family. He didn't exactly say what it was, but I could tell it was bad. It was a shame, as I hated being alone. But at least I had the Xbox and PC to keep me company. Some time later, I saw that it was quite late.

"Oh my god...IT'S 10PM?? HOW THE HELL DID IT GO SO QUICK??!"

I couldn't believe it. It was early the last time I checked and now its night time.  Its like someone had magically fast forwarded the day so it went in the space of 2 seconds.

Suddenly, I heard something coming from the kitchen again. I immediately thought "Its the cat". the damn thing always pissed about. It amazed me how it hadn't killed it self yet. But after the weird thought going away from my mind, I headed upstairs to catch an early night. As I went upstairs, I was thinking about my favorite pony, Celestia.

"Ahh Celestia, Y U NO REAL?"

As I got to my room, I turned on my computer just before I went to bed to check all the news and new threads on the FiM.org forums. I was suprised to see my inbox full. This had never happened seen as I very rarely get any private messages.

"Wow, I'm fucking popular today...makes a change."

Has at that happened I heard a loud thud from downstairs, like something falling.

"Oh for gods sake. I swear to Christ if that cat has knocked something over..."

I ran downstairs thinking that I'd see the cat with a broken dish next to it or something. I was wrong. As I walked into the kitchen, I saw something that made me think I was bonkers.

It was....Celestia her self..here...in my kitchen...

"No...no...this can't be real. This has got to be a dream..."

The Princess looked at me with the same eyes as she had in the cartoon which was just plain weird as I didn't expect them to even exist, nearmind be the same as they were in the cartoon.

"Oh...hello....can I ask, what are you exactly and where am I?"

"Well....your highness...I'm a human and this is earth..."

"A human?? Never heard of that type of creature. But it is nice to meet you."

She extended her hoof out to shake my hand I was guessing. I just returned the handshake...well...hoofshake should I say. I couldn't believe this was happening...I was shaking the hoof of my favorite pony....This has got to be a dream or something.

"Also, you said your highness. How did you know I was royalty?"

"Ermmm...well...it's kinda hard to explain. Your sort of a fictional character in this universe. Your from a show on the television called My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic."

She looked at me confused. This was going to be really, really awkward to explain to her.

"Whats a television and you said I'm a fictional character here did you not?"

"Yes I did. And a television is a piece of technology what us humans created what lets us watch things such as videos which are basically moving pictures. Its kind of hard to explain your highness."

"So I am not real here but I am famous?"

"Basically yeah."

I could see she was trying to take this all in. Even for an alicorn of her age it was a lot to take in. I went to get a glass of water to splash over my face to see if this was a dream or not. After I had done this, she looked at me with a face what said *what the fuck are you doing?".

"I know what your thinking your majesty and the answer is I'm splashing this over me because I thought you weren't real. That this was a dream."

"Why would you think that? I am clearly here aren't I?"

"Well yes you are but like I said earlier, you aren't real in this universe so its kinda weird your here right now..in my house."

This was getting weird. My favorite pony...in my house...right now...talking to me...how could things get any weirder?

"Well if you like, I will go find somewhere else to..well...stay until I can find a way back."

"No no I didn't mean it like that your majes..."

"Please..call me Tia."

That was strange. That was the name she only let really close people who she cared deeply about call her. But I let the thought slip my mind as I could see she was waiting for me to continue my sentence.

"Ok...I didn't mean it like that...Tia..I just meant its a bit weird seeing my favorite pony here in my house."

Oh fuck. I let it slip that shes my favorite pony. A thought popped into my mind. *Well done Nick. Fucking good job there my friend.*

"Favorite pony?"

I started to blush and she could see it which made it even worse. I could tell she was confused again, which was to be expected.

"Ermm well...yes...your my favorite pony in the show what I mentioned earlier...."

I could see she was shocked. Not in a bad way, but sorta like a good way. I couldn't tell.

"Oh...I am flattered. Thank you....?"

"Oh yeah I forgot, my name is Nick."

"Thank you Nick. Now I am quite exhausted. Could I possibly stay here for the night?"

"You can stay here as long as you want your highne....I mean Tia."

With that, she smiled and started looking around. After 5 minutes of her doing so, she came back in the kitchen and saw me trying to think about what the heck just happened.

"Another thing....Where could I sleep? If its not too much trouble of course..."

"Its no trouble at all. You can sleep in my bed. I will sleep down here on the couch."

I could see she didn't like the idea of me sleeping me down here due to her being here and she said "I couldn't take your bed from you" a couple of times, but I wasn't going to take no for an answer. She was a Princess..and deserved to be treated as such. Eventually, she gave up and smiled.

"If you insist. Thank you Nick."

"No problem Tia."

As she trotted off to my bedroom, thoughts were popping into my mind.

"How is she here? Why is she here? Why did she let me call her Tia?"

My brain was going to explode if I didn't stop thinking about this situation. But it was fantastic...I loved Celestia to bits and now shes in my world...staying with me..this couldn't get any better.

As I laid down on the couch pulling my make-shift bed cover over my body, I closed my eyes and yet another thought came in to my mind...

"What will tomorrow bring?"

And with that, I drifted off into a deep sleep.
