Where am I? What are you?
Chapter 4: Dream Realm and a Quick Stroll
Previous ChapterNext Chapter"Hello David, glad I could meet you again.", David recognized that voice as he turned around and saw Cassiel standing there.
"Errrm, hello again Cassie. The last time I got here, I only know your name, care to tell me what is this place called and why do I keep getting here?"
Cassiel chuckles and said, "You are in your Dream Realm, where your dreams are held. Sometimes I like to pop up in some dreams or maybe when you are unconscious."
"Oh, that's a rude thing to do. Popping into people's dreams like that.", David responded.
"I'm sorry David, but I only do it for some important reasons only."
"Is that so? Then tell me the reasons you are here."
"Because you are dead in your world and settling your new life here, I'm here to talk about your family, David. Don't you miss them? Do you know how many tears have they shed every night thinking that you may come back someday?", Cassiel said.
David didn't know what to respond, the last few days he had live here has just been settling for a new one. He has forgotten his life back on his home planet, he didn't even know Sheryn and his kids are crying for him, praying to him that he will find somewhere happy to life in another world. And yet, he ignored them. David collapsed onto the floor, quietly sobbing.
Cassiel felt pity for him and comforting him with her soft voice, "It's okay David, you have you let your love ones go. Even if they were with you for your entire life, they will go no matter what. Now I will give you a surprise, this item will be very important. I want you to keep it safely.",
Cassiel handed a picture of David and his family, standing on an open field with his parents. They look so happy on that day, David was still sobbing but this time it was tear of happiness instead of sadness. He dries off his tears and stood up, feeling better than before.
He looked at the picture one more time and look back at Cassiel, "Where did you get this anyway? And will this be with me in the morning when I wake up?"
"I have the powers to duplicate items from one dimension which takes a lot of concentration. It took me a while to get the photo here in this realm.", Cassiel said while letting out a deep sign.
"Oh, that's cool! I would give you a big bear hug right now if I could touch you."
Cassiel lets out a few chuckles, "That's cute of you David, but it is time for you to wake up. You don't want to hear the shout of your pony-friend waking you up, do you?"
"Haha, very funny. But that's also a good idea because I need a stroll around the town to work up my legs in case I need to run somewhere.", David said while immediately slapping himself over and over again, trying to wake himself up with pain.
Cassiel was behind him, trying to contain the laugh she was having and snap her fingers just to see disappeared into thin air.
Location
Ponyville, Golden Oaks Library
David was gasping for air after that dream happens, he felt something in his hand. He hold up to see it was the family picture he has received from Cassiel. 'Thank you, Cassiel.', he quiet thought to himself.
'Alright, time to run all over the town and get lost in it now.', David stood up, grab his clothes and went down stairs. He got out of the door without waking Twilight up. He turned around just to see Rainbow Dash hovering next to him. David almost scream but luckily Rainbow put a hoof on his mouth before the scream went off.
"Dude! It's just me!", Rainbow whispers quietly.
David tries to speak but it was only gibberish because her hoof was still over his mouth. Rainbow recognized this and put her hoof away, letting him breath slowly. He opens his mouth and said, "What did I told you about sneaking up on me?! Didn't I told you not to do that?"
"You didn't said anything about not scaring you! And also, I didn't sneak up on you!"
"Then what are you doing here in the morning?"
"I was having an exercise, trying to keep myself in shape while I saw you from above so I think bringing you with me is a good idea!"
"Who's out there?", Twilight's sleepy voice just totally makes the two stop arguing.
"I think we should get out of here quick, we don't want to ruin her dream!", Rainbow said while staring at David with a horrified face, remembering what happen when she ruins Twilight's dream.
"Good idea! Which way shall we run?", David said while also being terrified.
"This way!", Rainbow runs first while David follows behind.
The two made it far enough from the library to stop and took a breath, David spoke up, "I haven't run like that in years now! Last time I ran that fast, it was in school, and it was tough!"
Rainbow was still catching her breath and responded, "I haven't run in awhile since I mostly fly and running isn't really fast when you can do a Sonic Rainboom."
David pause to think what he has just heard, 'Sonic Rainboom', he exclaimed, "Woah, woah, woah, hold up. You can break the sound barrier and make a Sonic boom?!!!"
"Yep, my first one was when I was a young filly but I have no idea why I can't do it more frequently at this time. Doing a Sonic Rainboom takes a lot of effort and practices."
"In my planet, nothing could break the sound barrier other than a jet and that thing is way to expensive and dangerous for normal civilian to use, especially the ones who can't fly.", David said.
"It's a bummer for those who can't fly, it's just a great feeling to be soaring through the blue sky!", Rainbow responded while hovering.
"Yeah, it's a bummer alright. Hey look! Isn't that Applejack over there?", David said while pointing his finger towards the orange farm pony with a stetson on her head.
"Oh yeah! How did you know it was Aj?", Rainbow asked with a questioning look.
"Twilight told me about everything, when I mean everything, I mean things that are pretty important."
Applejack noticed David and Rainbow talking while she was stretching herself, she shouted, "Hey ya there Dash! What 'cha doin' at this time in the mornin'?"
"Hey AJ! I'm just taking a walk with my buddy David here!", Rainbow said while patting David on the shoulders.
Applejack took a glance at David and spoke up, "So yer' that David that I've been hearin' 'bout, Am Ah right?", She said with her southern accent.
David tries to figure out what she had said because southern accents aren't completely common in England.
"How did you know about me?", David said with a confused look on this face.
Applejack chuckles, "Ah always listen to the people in town!".
Rainbow Dash spoke up, "So AJ, what are you doing here when the sun isn't shining yet?"
"Ya gotta get ready for applebuckin' every mornin' in this month!"
"You need an extra hand for some lifting? I could use a little work out here.", David said while flexing his muscles, making Applejack lets out a giggle.
"Alright! You're hired! You can stop flexing it now!"
"Hey! What about me? Can I help too?", Rainbow said trying to make a 'Please?' face.
Applejack simply nods at Dash and the three shared a laugh. This reminds David of his family, how he laugh with them when everything either things went horribly wrong or completely funny.
"We will begin when the sun rises, so get some warm up and breakfast 'cuz yer' gonna work all day!" Applejack said it like she means it.
"Alright, we'll be back here by time hits nine, expecting us to work very well."
"Okay, I'll expecting ya both at nine!"
David and Rainbow said goodbye to Applejack and head off.
After a long walk around town, one of their stomach started to rumble. It was David's.
Rainbow laughs before spoke up, "You wanna grab something to eat? My treat since you clearly don't have any bits on ya."
David didn't said anything but his stomach was rumbling so he took it as a 'Yes' making Rainbow chuckles.
"Alright, so where are we going to eat now?", David said while resting his hand on his stomach.
"I'll take you to a place soon, don't worry. You're not gonna die from hunger."
The two walked to a place called 'The Spring Flower', David spoke up after looking at the sign, "Isn't the title a little bit off for a personality like you?"
"Nah, it's cool. Besides! It has good food in it! So stop whining and get in there!"
David opens the door and trying to be a gentleman, "After you.". He can't believe that actually works!
Both took a seat and started reading the menu, David thought this actually looks like one of those breakfast place he had when he was in New York for a family vacation. The waitress came to the two, she was shocked after seeing David.
"Oh my Celestia! Are you David?", she asked while looking at David.
"Uhhhh.... yes?", he said nervously.
"My name is Cadastra, please to meet you!"
Character Info: Cadastra Blossom
Age: 23
Eye color: Bright pink
Hair color: Yellow with white streaks
"Do I know you from where?"
"Of course not! I heard that there is a creature living with the Princess, I can't believe it's you! You're lucky just to live with a princess."
"Huh, news spreads fast don't they?", David said.
"Yeah, the reporters in this town is crazy fast! They will get everything on the news in just a flash!", Cadastra said while still smiling at David.
David turned to Rainbow just to see her face turning red, he knew that this wasn't right so he went and changes the subject, "So, can we order our breakfast now? Miss Cadastra?"
"Okay, what are you guys in for?", she asked.
"Oh thank you! I would like a dandelion sandwich please!", Rainbow lets out a long sign after that.
David still stroking his imaginary beard before speaking up, "I would like to have two slices of bread and omelets please!"
"Okay, your orders will be here in a few minutes. Would you two like some juice with your meal?", Cadastra asked and the both responded with a nod.
After the two finished their meal, the two left and ran straight to the farm. They made it just in time to see Applejack bucking a tree, David was amazed on how she could make apples fall out of the tree by just one simple kick, he was impressed by her strength.
"Okay AJ, we're here. What do you want us to do?", Rainbow said.
"Ya'll could help me load up apple crates to Big Mac."
"That's it? Picking up a crate of apples is too easy! Give me a challenge at least!", David said before looking at Applejack with his 'Challenge me' eyes.
"M'kay, I bet ya can't buck an apple down a tree!"
"Challenge accepted!", David said while thinking 'Memes are real in this.'
He walked to a nearby apple tree and started to survey it, trying to make himself look smart by sounding like he was calculating the force he needed to kick an apple down a tree. After ten-seconds flat, he kicked the tree with a force that shakes it. Nothing fall down, the only thing that fall down is David, crying in pain from that horrible kick.
Applejack and Rainbow Dash can't help but laughing out loud, leaving David with his red angry face.
"Alright, fine. You win the bet. You two can stop laughing now."
The two mares stopped laughing and dragged David along with his painful leg, but that doesn't mean he can't work.
"Okay David, I'm goin' to give ya an offer, you can work here and I will pay ya with bits. Sounds good to ya?"
"Does that mean I have a job now?", David said while dragging his feet.
"Darn tootin'!"
"YES! Ow!", he said while falling into the field with a loud thud.
He got up and began to work with Applejack and Rainbow Dash for the rest of the day.
This was a painful and probably the best day of his life here after getting that photo from Cassiel. He knew there were more things in his way to happiness, and he doesn't like it.
