Celestia and I

"Dad...where are you going? Don't leave me alone here!"

"Son..run! They are right behind you!"

I turned around and saw something chasing me but I couldn't tell what it was. It was shifting through the forest....like a shadow. I suddenly heard my dad screaming.

"Why didn't you run?!!"

I turned around and saw my dad screaming in my face. His face was now disfigured and his voice now had a loud demonic tone.

I woke up screaming and sweating like a heatwave just hit me in the face.

"It was that same dream....again....what the fuck is happening to me?"

After my vision came to, I heard someone coming down the stairs. I knew who this would be.

"That must be Dad. He will have comeback in the night. Great. Looks like yesterday was just a dream. It must have been. There's no way she actually could be...."

Then...my eyes darted towards the door to see Celestia enter the room. I swore yesterday was a dream. But she is actually here...it wasn't a dream. My heart was beating incredibly fast now and Celestia looked at me with her big, beautiful purple eyes. I stared at her for a solid 3 minutes before she broke the awkward silence by coming to sit next to me. She could see I was sweating and sensed something was wrong with me.

"Morning Nick. You don't look so good. Is something up?"

I brought my head up from looking at the ground and turned my vision to Celestia who was still staring at me worryingly.

"Morning Tia. I just had a bad dream..."

"Do you wish to talk about it? I will listen and try to offer help if I can."

"No...its fine. Thanks though Tia."

She simply smiled and stood up. I never noticed how big she was. Although she was only 2 inches bigger then me seen as I am 5/10 and shes 6ft, she still seemed huge. Especially for a pony.

"Your welcome Nick. Now, I am simply famished. Could we possibly have something to eat if it is ok with you?

"Sure we can Tia. Let me just get everything ready."

She nodded and I walked into the kitchen holding my head with my hand trying to cope with the massive migraine what had suddenly come on. It was fucking painful.

"Jesus Christ my freaking head is killing me! Why does this dream keep coming back?..."

My mind trailed off as I tried to think why that dream kept coming back every single day. Then I heard something behind me. I span around to find Celestia trotting in. I also noticed she wasn't wearing her royal armor...stuff...what she was wearing yesterday and what she wore in the show all the time. I forgot about the thought and as I did so, Celestia turned her head to me.

"I forgot to ask....what do....what is your species again?"

"I'm a Human, Tia."

"Oh yeah. Sorry Nick, I forgot. My mind hasn't been so good lately. My sincere apologies."

"Its fine Tia. Now what were you going to ask me?"

"I was going to ask....what do Humans actually eat??"

This was going to be fucking awkward. In the show, there was talking cows, pigs, etc. And the ponies were herbivores, which means they don't eat meat, just plants.

"Well we are actually Omnivores. So we eat meat and plants."

I could see Celestia looking at me cautiously as she took a few steps back.

"You don't eat...ponies do you?"

"No! Of course we don't. We only really eat fish and some other types of meat. But nothing like that. So calm down Tia...please?"

After hearing this, she came back over to me and took a breath of relaxation in. I could see she was taking notice of what I was saying.

"Oh..that's good. I'm sorry Nick. I just thought when you said you were an Omnivore that you might.....kill me and eat me."

My mouth gaped open with shock. How could she think that?! I mean, I understood why she thought like that but....still.

"What?! I'd never hurt you in any way possible. I wouldn't hurt anyone unless it was in self defense."

"Self defense is fair enough as I know it my self with my magic. But thank you. It means a lot that your being friendly to me."

"Its ok Tia. Now can you let me finish getting breakfast on? Also, what do you want to eat?"

"Ermm well...if you have some eggs that would be really nice"

I looked around in the cupboards and eventually I found the eggs. That relaxed me knowing that I had something she could eat while she was here.

"Yes I do. I will prepare them for you immediately. Do you want anything else or is that it?"

"No..that will be quite nice. Thank you once again Nick."

"Its my pleasure Tia. Now go sit down while I prepare your food."

She smiled, turned round and trotted back into the room. This was amazing! I was now preparing food for my favorite pony. And she was royalty. Cooking for royalty. That made it even better!

When the food was done, I walked into the room to find Celestia sitting on the couch. This made me feel a little awkward as she was sitting as a normal human would. I forgot about the thought and put the tray with the food on next to her. She smiled and started stuffing her face with the eggs. I gave her a sly grin what said "calm down your majesty". She grinned back at me.

"I may be a princess Nick, but that does not mean I cannot act like a normal pony sometimes you know."

"I know Tia. And I like to see you act like a normal person... I mean pony."

She just giggled and smiled. As soon as she had stopped smiling, she dove straight back into the food. I just smiled and giggled a bit as well. I walked back into the kitchen and I remembered the dream once again.

"Son..run! They are right behind you!"

"Why didn't you run?!!"

Tears came from my eyes as I remembered the painful dream once more. Suddenly, Celestia walked in. it appeared she had put her armor...stuff... on. You know what I mean. She had obviously finished her breakfast.

"Nick. You've been in here for quite a while. Are you sure your ok?"

"Oh Tia...Yeah I'm fine. Don't worry about me."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes I'm sure. Now, what do you want to do for the rest of the day?"

She put her hoof on her chin like she was thinking of something. I found it kinda cute.

"Hmmmm.....maybe you could explain to me and show me what that thing is over there."

I looked to see what she was pointing at and it turned out she was pointing at the Xbox. How could I explain that to her. Even I didn't understand how much crap was in it.

"Oh. That's an Xbox. Its a virtual gaming system what us humans use for fun. I always use it. It plays games by me inserting a disc."

"That sounds very interesting. What does virtual mean?"

"It means its not real. So basically, I could shoot someone in the game and they wouldn't really die as they aren't real. They are an artificial intelligence which is an intelligence what is also virtual. Its confusing. Even for me sometimes. It takes a lot of time and skill to make a game."

"Wow. That's a lot to take in isn't it? Do you mind showing me what you actually do on these "games"?.

"Sure I don't mind. I'd love to! Let me just turn it on and I'll show you."

Time passed by and soon enough it was 9.00pm. I was shocked at how fast the time was going in the past few days.

"Jesus its already 9.00pm?! I've been showing this to Celestia for a solid 9 hours?! Time sure is flying recently..."

As I said this, Celestia yawned. I could clearly see she was tired and so was I.

"I am quite tired. Could I maybe go to bed Nick?"

"Of course you can. you don't have to ask me Tia. This is your house as well as mine for as long as you have to stay here. Also, I forgot to ask. Why and how did you get here?"

"Well...could I possibly explain it tomorrow as I can barely keep my eyes open."

I nodded and she trotted towards the door. As I was preparing my make-shift bed cover on the couch again, Celestia turned round and looked at me.

"Nick....you could sleep with me if you like. It is your bed after all."

I blushed at the idea and thought it over for a minute. Then I thought "why the hell not?"

"Sure...I'd love to sleep with you Tia. Not in that way obviously..."

Wow. I sounded like a total idiot then. Well done Nick, give your self a pat on the back for that one. I face palmed. She laughed and blushed at the same time.

"I know you didn't Nick. Don't worry, I didn't mean it like that either. Now come, I am quite tired and I am sure you are as well.

She was right. I was tired. With that we went up to bed. When I finally got into bed,I could see she was taking off her armor again. I think she looked better without it on. She looked like a normal pony, not a princess. She still looked gorgeous though. As the thought went away, she got into bed next to me. Her mane was right next to me and it felt...good..which was weird. She turned towards me and looked me in the eyes.

"I'd just like to say thank you for being so kind to me today. It means a lot."

"My pleasure Tia. Night. See you in the morning."

"Night Nick. See you tomorrow."

As I was drifting off to sleep, one more thought popped into my mind.

"Lets hope I don't have that dream again...."
