My Grave Error
Chapter 4 - Blast to the past
Previous ChapterNext ChapterDave sat on a pony-sized recliner in the Canterlot library. He had his legs planted on the ground, whilst a small portion of blueberry pie sat upon a china plate, with a silver fork next to it. The silver fork bore an etching of Luna raising the moon, while the spoon was showcasing Celestia raising the sun. Then, the knife showed the 3 types of ponies on it, Earth, Pegasi & Unicorns. But silverware and china aren't important, the books that Dave was reading ( and will be reading) are important.
Celestia had given Dave, a book about humans and their past, as given by another human that had been to Equestria. However, this was many, many moons ago. The book spoke about the outdated history and the Greeks coming up with mythical creatures almost identical to the citizens of Equestria. Dave, of course, had already studied the book and put it away. He walked off into a deeper more darker part of the library. Dave looked at the shelves and saw an ocean of what seemed to be never-ending amounts of manuscripts and scrolls. He assumed that this was the unicorn/magic section. He looked at a scroll until he saw a scroll, a different scroll. Curiosity got the best of Dave, thus causing him to grab the scroll. Blowing off some dust that had collected on said scroll, Dave untied the ribbon holding it and read the titled out loud...
"Aasf Furnham Kunni, Likaam weefa da'ru?" Dave stared at the scroll, a quizzical look was painted on his face.
"Oh wait, there's English at the bottom," Dave said to no-one in particular
"Scroll on Equestrian memory regain-ation." He cringed at the bad English. Dave read on, and, had a 'bright' idea.

Luna found herself talking to Dave in the library.
Luna gazed at Dave, unsure and a little bit scared, at his peculiar idea.
"So to recap, you want me to cast a memory spell on you?"
"Yup!" Dave said excitedly.
Luna let out a heavy sigh and finally decided to do so.
Magic lit up Luna's horn, as it ebbed and flowed through it. Then, a beam of white and blue light at amazingly fast speeds hit Dave's forehead, sending him stumbling backwards. Dave's vision started to cloud up, then slowly fading to black, as if it were a dark abyss...
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=/either time or memory skip/=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
The range rover was like a red shark, as the sun's bright rays gleamed across its polished surface. The car cut through shrubbery that got in the way of it, as it moved across the dirt tracks. Towards the wheels, mud and sand caked them and the rims of the lower car.
"Isn't it amazing Dave?" Dave's dad spoke, shattering the silence as if it were glass.
"Yeah wow," Dave said, awestruck. "But the knife you got me is way cooler!" Dave said staring at his knife that was placed in its sheath.
(Note: Couldn't be bothered describing the knife, so here's a link to some images of it, lol it's not even that important to the story it's just there for comic relief)
It had almost been an hour of driving when they had reached the campsite by the lake, Dave helped his dad pitch the tent and get the barbeque cooking. Dave's dad was hauling out some charcoal from the trunk of the car.
The day had passed and nighttime came, creatures of the night lurking every where you looked. Dave looked at the lake, seeing a ripple of water break the almost smooth surface.
Then almost instantly, a storm came and a voice started shouting at Dave...
"Dave?"
The voice progressively became louder.
"Dave!"
The voice sounded stressed.
"DAAVE!!!!!!"
He saw a pony's face in the sky. Luna? Was it all a dream? Dave started remembering the memory spell and the beam hitting him. Then he woke up in a bed.
"Sweet mother of God," Dave said. " I remember before I got here, but I don't remember how I got here?"
"Dave, we mustn't use the spell!" Luna said, worried "It had harmful effects on your body!"
Luna then started to describe the fact that Dave's body was shaking vigorously and that he was drooling everywhere and Luna teleported Dave into her room to not attract any attention.
Dave sat back on the bed. Sinking in all the information. Then a question popped into his head.
"What time is it?"
Luna looked at Dave and sighed, "Nighttime."
"Oh. I was out for that long?"
Luna nodded.
"Well, what did you see?" Luna asked, as she used her magic to place a chair behind her, as she sat down.
Dave began describing what had happened during his short dream sequence, all the bits and crucial details in it. Luna, was very intrigued, wondering how this spell worked and how it could have caused this to happen. Maybe he got the spell from the "Starswirl the bearded" Part of the library. All the crazy prototype spells were there.
Dave finished and looked at the clock. 9:30.
"What about dinner?" Dave asked.
"You missed it," Luna answered.
Dave sighed.
"Well, looks like I'll have to eat plenty for breakfast tomorrow!" He said with a smile
Dave shuffled a bit then realised.
"Wait... This isn't my bed." Dave looked towards Luna.
"Maybe we could share it tonight..." Luna said, grinning.
Dave patted the side of his bed, signalling for Luna to come sleep with him, and Dave hugged Luna as soon as she got in. Her fur was so soft, softer than a cloud, and she gave off extensive warmth.
Both slept through the night when the door opened and a voice woke both Dave and Luna up.
"Lulu? Dave?" Said the voice.
Luna jumped up, followed by Dave, greeted with the sight of a grinning Celestia.
