Prelude
The night was warm and between my window, I could see the full moon that sprinkle her cold light in the middle of the streets.
The avenue was deserted, only a homeless in leather jacket, wandering for the streets with a sword in his left hand sing a song about a lost and sad love, and from the heart of the city you could hear his sad cry.
I went downstairs, and I approached to him, obviously, he don’t wanted to talk, only the light of the moon illuminated his sword that fade slowly with the wind.
He looked at me and reaches out with sad and tired expression, he didn’t said nothing, and I suppose that he shouldn’t do it. Although on the one hand I would have liked to hear his story, he has not impetus for that, so I put a few coins in his hand, smiled and I went back to my home.
My mother was asleep, and the clock noted the 02:26 AM and I quietly walked to my room and closed the door with key, I went into the dark silent ritual of seeing my little pony. Once it was over my eyes fell, stumbling from exhaustion, the hour of sleep had arrived for sure, for start with great energies the day that comes in a few hours.
My room lay in the dark and I could hear the wind and the echoes of the trees, I blinked in the dark and I saw shadows come and go, I was prepared for fall asleep and to the sad auto induced lethargy of each night. But then, for the corner of my eyes I saw a shimmering yellow light that was formed in the door of my room, the light attracted the objects to it and the things disappear into it, i was object of the attraction too, no matter how much I wanted to be free.
When I entered into the light, my eyes were closed.
As I went down, I could hear voices, and some things that reminded me something strangely familiar, but then, full of fear i screamed with all the power of my voice and I fell to the ground.
When I opened my eyes I realized that the morning was here, the sun shone with great heat. I went to walk to the path full of death leafs; I was scared I must say it because I didn’t know where I am.
Suddenly i saw ponies that walked in the moor, and they greeting me with a smile
- Good morning young boy - they said
- Good morning - i said
Everything was stranger than my normal dreams and I wasn’t very sure about nothing, i walked every step with great careful, believing that I would find a great threat to face. Sure, I wasn’t prepared or ready, even I wasn’t sure that I’m not living a dream.
Thus I decided to make a little experiment conducive to determine my state of consciousness.
So I approached to one of the multiple apple trees of the path and I kick it, and I could feel, in that way, the tender hug of the pain. So I realized that I’m wasn’t dreaming
But, if not so.... ¿where i was?.
i started to walk for the riverbank, until the delta, slowly, admiring the particular ecosystem. after a 20 minutes of walk and a maddening silence through the plane i could see a city
I approached to the entrance with fear but decided and great was my surprise to find a sign saying "Welcome to Ponyville. Population 12,548 inhabitants".
I had so many hopes of what I could find but didn’t know how I arrived and I was frankly surprised that the inhabitants hadn’t been intimidated by my presence
The town was silent and very few souls nailed their hooves in the streets, I was confused because I didn’t know what to do. I didn’t have money, or place to sleep
I start to walk again after this stop, and suddenly I saw that , in the distance, was the Rarity's boutique
When I saw it, my eyes shone, and many thoughts crossed my mind, i started to laugh with nervous.
Meanwhile Pegasus cleared the clouds to make way for a large and bright sun that illuminated the beauty of all that was available to the eyes
when I arrive to the boutique i could see that it has several towers and windows, the towers was painting of blue and gold, the facade of the boutique was white
I thought a lot my next movement while I was losing my breath, because, in one hand I only want to know her. But on other hand, I didn’t have any idea of I was doing there.
But my spirits suddenly gained impetus and without hesitation I strike the door
II
From The End Of The Word
nobody answered at my call so, in sad resignation, i turned away to try to return home, no matter the way. of course, i was disappointed of my bad luck, but suddenly i could feel the door open with shyness. it was the little Sweetie Belle who came out
- hi! who are you?
- hello, my name is Lionel - i said - and im looking for... I’m looking for... I’m searching... oh damn it
- you should - she said in a laugh - be looking for my sister, Rarity
- yes, she is - I said with nervous
she came in, while I closed my eyes I didn’t want to talk, i didn’t want do nothing, my legs turn to wool under my feet, suddenly she came out, looked at me with surprise and said
- Lionel, dear ¿what you doing here?
her words frozen my blood, and led a sensation of shivering through all my body ¿how could she know my name? ¿how could she didn’t surprised?
- I don’t know. And.. ¿who are you? - i ask pretending have forgotten everything
- Come on - she said - don’t pretend you don’t know who I am. You know and i know that you know me very well
- well i... well...i...well
- Came in, come with me. don’t act like a stupid, this type of things are simply criminals for someone like me
- sure, sure
i came in, the floor was covered of silk, in the walls, pictures and had several doors that were closed
- your boutique is wonderful - i said in a stupid try to flatter her
- thanks darling - she said blushed - its pretty difficult maintain all of this when you do a job so demanding as mine, you know
- What you’ve doing lately?
- some dresses for the canterlot elite, they are simply divine
i looked at her and laughed
- Why do you laugh? - She said
- must be complicated live in a place where the ponies go by preferably naked - i said blushing at the time that i remembered that the naked in our world its not a common thing
- certainly, I had to work hard, for being here, and a pony so glamorous and wonderful like me, can’t but be related with the high classes
- also I consider a crime that many ponies think that my work is useless, but you don’t do it - she said winking an eye
- of course not ¿how i could?. its a real honor meet you finally Rarity
- i can say the same thing
I got up and walked a little bit, with curious about the closed doors i well know that in a designer boutique, you can't expect surprises, but soon i would understand that this prejudice was a mistake
- Do you want to join you to know the boutique? – she said
- For sure – I said
She started introducing me to the story of her childhood, about that how she got her cutie mark and her hopelessness when she thought that her destiny was a rock, about the difficulties in the fashion school of canterlot
- ... So you didn’t make do so many friends in the school huh?
- Yes, no one was in conditions to talk to me. You know, mostly on one of them had not success. But look at me now. Sometimes, i have the world in my hoof. And this is so exciting. you don’t imagine all the money that i win
- And what about your parents?
- Well - she said in a somewhat derogatory tone - in the school no one ever knew that I had parents. You know, with that farmer accent they wouldn’t cause a good impression. and I couldn’t take the risk of loose my reputation
- so I assume that ... - I said, but before finish she interrupted me saying
- Yes. I had to work and study, for pay the school, and with that scenario, it was detestable. I couldn't stand get dirty or that Somepony touch me, it was really awful, but now all is different
In fact the boutique gorgeously decorated. the rooms don't offered surprises, the mostly of the rooms are for job, so only had sewing machines, fabrics shelves, some empty boxes and a pair of sling
I must note the order of the rooms where no one thing is out of place.
The other rooms were decorated in a different to the way that i thought chandeliers in the ceiling, Flemish tapestry, antique furniture with relief, some rustic sculptures and even a grand piano. Of course I couldn’t but be surprised by Rarity skills but that which was strange is ¿where she had absorbed all that creative influence? That insurance wasn’t in Ponyville but rather in our world
I didn't say nothing, I just look at her and smiled. We had walked the entire boutique but there was a door that Rarity strangely refused to open
- what about that door – I said
- no dear, you cant know, at least yet the secret behind that door
- i can know why?
- no one knows that secret, even the girls or Sweetie Belle, cause you know. she is a potential disaster. but if you make some merits, maybe you will know
- very well – I said laughing – I will try
Between the bristles of the purple curtains while invisibles seraphim sing a noble song, i could contemplate the wind that rocked the trees in the last moments of the twilight who makes born the majesty of the well known darkness
Meanwhile there, outside, the lanterns are lit and the lovers walk together, in a silent walk. Refugees in the power of their love
i returned with Rarity, who wait for me in the living room
- what do you watched? - she said
- this is a beautiful place ¿do you know that?
- yes, i love it. now tell me ¿ how is your world?
- its a colorful place. not good, not bad, but im sure that you couldn´t bear a single minute there. you coudn´t bear because sometimes, even i dont bear it
- hmm i see so ¿ you couldn´t take me to your world?
- no, only think that you can cry .. no, is not good for you.
- you are so gentle
- thanks - i said - accepting a compliment I didn't think deserve
Rarity watched the clock
- Oh, it's bedtime. It's too late and you know I sleep well to keep my beauty
- Well, I sleep here - I said pointing to a couch
- Of course, but first...
As I climbed the stairs thousand strange thoughts came together in my giving rise to an odd sense of nervousness
- Wait outside for a moment - she said before close the door
- Well, i will wait here
I expected intimidated without know what i will see and the fear fill me of doubts and make me shiver
five minutes passed until y hear the sound of the open door
- you can enter now - she said
i came into the room with little steps, and i could see her. she was dressed with a sexy black dress, and her body smelled to roses
- how i look? - she ask
- Well - I said a little embarrassed - you look great ... you look great ... very - I started to laugh again
She looked at me with sad expression and moistened eyes
- why do you laugh? After everything you've said about me. Never, ever thought that ... - she stay in silent
- .. What?
- You said me ugly ¿Do you think I am a kind of smelly mule? - Said as tears rolled down her eyes
- No, of course not. You are very .... - I stopped looking for a word to finish the sentence
- Very ....
- You're beautiful, you look brilliantly. And I appreciate your interest in my opinion
- Are you serious?
- Of course!
She turned and began walking toward the bed, leaned back and stretched gently over his white linen body
- bring that chair - she said
So I did and I sat down. I steeled myself and ask
- how you know me? Why do not you surprised? how you know I've talked about you?
- See that computer next? - she pointed a machine that didn’t seems like a computer of our world
- yes - I said
- Well, it was provided to us six by Princess celestia in order to know everything that you talk about us from your world without having to interfere with it
That filled me with a strange fear
- Then.... You know what I said about you?
- That's right - she said blushing
- Oh, I see - I said a little embarrassed
- Don’t worry - she said - many words you your senses can be considered compliments. So I'm not upset. Don’t worry dear
- Thank you, thank you very much. - I - well, now it's late and I must leave
Walked my steps towards the exit door, but was suddenly interrupted by Rarity
- Wait! - She said
- If - I said stopping
- Because do not you come and give me a goodnight kiss and then wait for until i fall asleep?
quickly and without hesitation I agreed to his request even though I felt a little weird doing something that surely would have seemed strange in the eyes of our world
She closed her eyes and i began to touch slowly her mane soft and caressing her horn don´t know for why strange reason. Her breathing became of harmonious in chaotic and choppy and to my surprise her horn began issuing mild flashes, her expression became flushed and said weakly
- ... le ... leave it, dont ... dont do that
I certainly obeyed and sat down beside her to watch her in silence, when she was asleep I whispered
- I had a dream about you from the end of the world.
