Author's Note

I have to write one chapter for today because the viewing rate is decreasing. I was about to put an image of a ‘Man in your dreams’, but it’s too scary to some viewers so I put a description.

If you seen that image in your dreams, let me know in the comments below.

Chapter 28: R&R at Area 51

We walk inside the a large pool table room with a bar at the end of it, a TV screen to the left wall, and several tables around it.

“Here we are, everyone. Home sweet home.” Grandpa points at the door over there. “The bunks are over there where you sleep. If you need anything else, call me. And by the way, we don’t serve alcoholic drinks because the aliens invented them for their primary diet or to use them to fool us by drinking them. We only serve regular drinks including soda. Good luck.”

Before he’s about to leave, I say, “Wait, uh, was there more than one room in the barracks?”

“Sure. The gym is in the second floor above you, and there’s another room on the third floor. No pressure.” He walks out before he closes the door behind him.

“What’s alcohol?” Twilight asks,

“Trust me; you don’t want to drink them.” I reply,

“Don’t worry; we won’t. Because I know that alcohol can easily poison a pony when they drink.” Pinkie’s in the bar looking at the drinks in the pantry. “But how can we tell the drinks?”

Rebecca walks over Pinkie, and scans the pantry. “Hmm... Coca-cola, Sprite, Apple Juice, Orange Juice, Lemonade... all kinds of regular drinks.”

Applejack walks over the pantry, and picks up a gallon of apple juice. “This doesn’t look like cider to me. But it looks good.”

“That’s my favorite drink.” I say,

“Me too.” Lauren says,

That surprises me that my crush loves apple juice like I do.

James walks over the pantry with Applejack. “Well at least they got some coca-cola here.” He grabs a bottle of coke, and he opens it with his mouth. “Thirsty?” He takes a sip.

Nick walks over the chair in front of the TV, and he sits down. “No thanks. I’d drank lots of water during the attack.” he looks around for a remote. “Where’s the remote?”

Spike walks over Nick holding the remote with his right paw. “It’s right here.”

Nick grabs the remote from Spike’s mouth. “Thanks.” He turns on the TV, and the show from Discovery Channel is on. “Well they do have a lot of channels. I don’t know why the channels are still online. I’m guessing that this place had stealth satellites.”

The show Deadiest Catch is on as Kelly jumps on the chair right next to Nick in excitement. “Oh boy! That’s my favorite.”

James puts down the bottle. “Well I better go to the gym upstairs. I’ll be right down in a while.” He walks towards the stairs, and walks up.

“I’ll go with him.” Rainbow follows James,

“Me too.” Pinkie follows them too,

As they disappear upstairs, Rebecca walks upstairs with them. “I’ll go to the third floor, and look around while you guys relax.”

“I’ll go with Rebecca.” Applejack says,

“Me too.” Fluttershy says,

Applejack and Fluttershy follows Rebecca, and then they disappear to the third floor,

Twilight, Rarity, Lauren and I are on our own.

“So now what?” Twilight asks,

“I’m guessing we’ll get a drink, and we can... chat.” Lauren says,

“Pfft! Nah! I don’t drink alcohol.” I say,

“I mean apple juice, silly.” Lauren punches my shoulder,

“Alright.”

Twilight, Rarity, Lauren and I are sitting in a small table chatting while sipping apple juice.

“So your grandpa knew about this place?” Rarity asks,

“He didn’t work here, but he didn’t told me about the 1962 invasion until now.” I say,

“Maybe he doesn’t wanted to expose to the public.” Lauren says, “Until they attacked,

“This organization is covered up before the invasion.” Twilight says,

“It’s actually named ETIC.” I say, “It’s some sort of top secret military organization with salvaged alien technology from the 60s’. He and Celestia defeated the invaders, and then they returned after I changed Chrysalis back to her alien form. I shouldn’t done that.”

“That’s okay, Brandon. This isn’t your fault.” Lauren says, “We were just trying to eliminate the threat, buuut it backfired.”

“We didn’t realize that she’s as big as a T-Rex.” Twilight says,

“Ant queens are supposed to be larger than the others.” I say, “I just didn’t saw that coming.”

“So you just said something about an alien base located here on Earth.” Lauren says, “And this ‘Pindar’ creature leads his forces for invasion on Earth.”

“Well I’ve heard of Pindar before. I thought he was a Draco, but it turns out he’s one of Chrysalis’s soldiers. I’m guessing that they would never reveal themselves before the invasion starts.”

“And you said something that your species has been manipulated?” Rarity asks,

“Yes. The Illuminati is responsible for the toxic people on Earth. I’m guessing that the aliens are working here.”

“What’s the Illuminati?” Twilight asks,

“It’s a secret organization if you can see an eye on a one dollar bill.” Lauren replies,

“And if we can take out the alien HQ, no more manipulation.” I say,

Then Twilight notice something. “The eye on the pyramid? I’ve seen this in my dreams since I was connected to Chrysalis. It was some kind of man with bald head and thick eyebrows.”

“A man with an evil face? What’s his name?”

“That’s Pindar. I’m guessing that the man in my dreams was Pindar.”

“Did you draw his description?”

“Yes.” Twilight pulls out a piece of paper, and shows a drawing to me.

It’s a round face of a man with thick eye brows, an evil smile, and bald head.

Lauren gasps.

Rarity looks terrified. “Oh gosh! That’s scary looking!”

I glance at the picture. “I know this guy. I haven’t saw him in my dreams, but I’ve heard of him, and we’ve found his true name--Pindar! Well I’m guessing that was his disguise. If we see his face, that’s Pindar.”

“He’s the CEO of the Illuminati.” Lauren says,

“And I bet he’s not the only one who is behind this.” I say as Twilight grabs the paper, and she folds it in fours before shoving it into her pocket,

“And I bet it’s Chrysalis.” Rarity says,

Lauren and Rarity stands up. “Well. I better go check with the others.” Lauren says, “You two will have fun.”

They disappear upstairs.

“So, Brandon.” Twilight says, “What do you know about Lauren?”

“She’s... a nice girl like Fluttershy. She was like an Earth Angel to me.” I say, “And also intelligent.”

Twilight smirks. “Looks like somebody has a crush on someone.”

“She’s just a friend, Twilight.” I lie,

“Don’t worry. I’m not going to make fun of you. I know you’re single.”

“What about you?”

Twilight looks surprised. “What? No I’m not!” She laughs nervously,

“O...Kay.” I say awkwardly, “So, as long as my parents and my sister were in the base trapped inside the aliens’ hive mind, how am I supposed to take care of myself?”

“I can be your babysitter.”

“What? I don’t need a babysitter! I’m eighteen.”

Twilight punches my shoulder. “I’m kidding, but we’re taking care of each other because I’m going to be your twin sister... only if we’re both ponies for now.”

That surprises me. “What’re you saying?”

“Brandon, we’re roommates in Equestria, but you’re like my twin brother.” Twilight blushes, “And besides, if you’re... sort of a brony, am I your favorite?” She shows a cute smile.

Well that is adorable... for a human-like pony. I think, “Well, yes.”

“Good.”

“You’re like a scientist like me. And you seem autistic, I mean no offense.”

“Yeah, I have autism just like my parents told me when I was ten.”

“Don’t worry. I have autism too.” I say, “Well you can be my sister. I wish I could introduce you to my family, but I’m not sure if I could.”

“I’m sure that your family will... let me stay with you as a family.”

“You’re a pony and I’m a human.”

“I mean, if I could be your un-biological sister if you know what I mean.”

“I wonder what happened if you’re in my school?”

Twilight shrugs, “We’ll see.”

I glance at my watch. It was ten O’clock. “I’m going to bed.” I take a full sip of my apple juice, and I stand up from my chair.

“Good night, Brandon.” Twilight says,

“Good night.” I walk out of the room to brush my teeth, change my clothes to my pajamas, and I fall asleep in one of the twelve bunk beds in each wall inside a dark vertical room.
