Chris's dreams

Chapter 14

Editor’s note: This chapter and all future chapters will be in the present tense.

The next morning I wake up and Twilight is laying down next to me. I decide to head downstairs and look for something to eat.

I close the door behind me, trying not to wake up Twilight. I walk downstairs and notice that Spike is up. He is putting the books away that Twilight had left on the ground last night.

“Morning spike.”

He turns around, says nothing and goes back to work. I walk up to him and point the fingers that I put inside Twilight at him.

“Hey Spike, I need to ask you something, do my fingers smell strange to you?”

I hold out my fingers to rub them in his face. He gives them a sniff and quickly covers his nose, “Ew, what did you do last night with Twilight?”

I laugh as I pulled my fingers away from him and lick the tip of my fingers before rubbing them around my groin, “Don't worry about it, all you need to know is that I got some last night!”

He rolls his eyes and goes back to stacking books. “I don't see what everypony sees in you, all you care about is yourself and sex, nothing else. You do know you are Twilight's first right? She will be heartbroken if you mess this up... and you will!”

“Pfft, no I won't! I like Twilight, all those other ponies, Rarity, Rainbow Dash, Applejack, and those two twins at the party were just meaningless sex... One night stands I guess you could call them.”

I start to pull out some of the books around the library and flip through them, hoping to find something to read to pass the time.

“Well I should tell you that Twilight and all of her friends are going to see Princess Celestia later today.”

“Princess who?” I reply as I put the book I was looking at back in it's place.

“Princess Celestia, the ruler of all of Equestria? Twilight sent a letter to her about you and she wants to meet with you so I guess they want to tag along.”

“Hmm, well it's about damn time. I’ve been wanting to know how the hell I got here for a while now.”

After waiting for a while, Twilight came downstairs and greeted me and Spike as she headed over to a shelf and put her book away from last night.

“Morning Spike and good morning Chris. Did you sleep well?”

“Well I think you might know the answer to that Twilight.”

She blushes and kisses me on the cheeks.

“You two are disgusting.”

”Nah Spike... You’re just mad that I got some from Rarity and you didn't!”

He stops what he was doing and walks upstairs, upset.

“Chris, I think that was a little mean.” Twilight says while looking at me, clearly disappointed at what I said to Spike.

She goes over to her letters and starts to read them to herself.

Moments later, everypony showed up at Twilight's house. Rainbow Dash, Rarity, Applejack, Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy all trotted in after each other.

“So... How are we even going to get to this Princess Celestia?”

They all looked at me as if I were crazy and said together, “The train of course!”

“Oh right, ok then!”

We all head out of the house and set off for the train station.

“So Chris I must ask, how was it with Twilight?”

“Rarity!” Twilight shouts at Rarity before she can say anything else.

“Look Twilight...” Rainbow Dash starts to say and then looks at everybody else before continuing, “We’ve all done it with Chris, right?”

Rainbow looks at everypony, waiting for an answer. They all nod their heads except for Fluttershy and Pinkie.

Rainbow looks back at me and hovers up in my face, “Let me ask you, who was the best out of all of us?”

“The best?” I ask.

“Yeah, the best; As in, who did you enjoy having sex with the most?”

“Rainbow Dash, this isn’t a contest, stop trying to make yourself look better than every other pony!”

Rarity says and pulls Rainbow away from me.

We had reached the train station by now and were lucky not to miss the single train headed to Canterlot.

We all boarded and found seats in an empty car. Rainbow Dash was very quick to talk again.

“What about you Twilight? When did you do it with Chris?”

“We never ‘did it’ Rainbow, all we did was play around, nothing like what you three did. I'm still not ready for it.”

They all roll their eyes and go back to what they were doing. I look out the window, watching the countryside fly by us.

Twilight rests her head on my shoulder and sighs, “Chris...”

“Yeah Twilight?” I look at her and wait for her to continue.

“When the Princess does tell you how you got here. Will that change anything between us?”

I take a deep breath and look out the window before answering, “I don't know Twilight, I really don't know; I’d rather just know who I am and how I got here and where I came from. I don't think that will change anything between us, I’ll still love you Twilight, nothing will change between you and me... I promise.”

She let's out a sigh of relief and gives me a gentle kiss on the cheek.

“I hope so Chris, we will be there in about an hour and then we will finally get to know where you’re from.”

“Yeah... We will.”

A while later we finally reach Canterlot and are soon at Princess Celestia's castle.

At the front of the castle we were met by royal guards in shining, golden armor. They silently guided us towards a huge double door which shone with magical aura as they glided open. Before us stood a very tall, regal looking, pure white pony. Her sparkling hair looked as if it was waving in flowing water.

“Hello my little ponies and... I'm sorry you must be the friend that Twilights been telling me about?”

Twilight looks up at Celestia and nods her head; completely in awe, I couldn’t answer for myself as I gawped at the Princess.

“Yes Princess, this is Chris... we were wondering if you could tell us more about him?”

Celestia looks over and starts walking towards me, looking at me closely.

“Well?” I asked, waiting for an answer.

She gives me one more look before backing off and going back to her seat, “Well first of all, I can tell you that you are not from this world.”

“Well no shit.” I said out loud.

“Excuse me?”

“Err... nothing, anyway can you tell me something I don't know?”

She lets out a sigh and looks back at me from her throne, ”Sadly there is not much I can say that you won't already know. I've never seen any species like you in person but I've read books about people like you, and it did tell me that you are what is known as a ‘human’.”

“So I came all the way here just to be told what I already know about myself? You’re supposed to be this all powerful and all knowing pony Princess but you can't even tell me how I got here and why I’m here?”

I got really frustrated and stomped my foot on the ground waiting for an answer from her. Twilight nuzzles my side to try and calm me down.

“Chris please, you can't talk to her like that, she's the Princess!” She said and pushed me away from the Princess..

“I'm sorry Princess, but are you sure there is nothing you can tell us about him? Twilight asked.

Celestia just looked at Twilight for a short while before turning to me and saying, “Chris, I’ll try and do more research about you, see what I can find out. Does that sound better? For now you all may stay here for the night.”

Everyone nods their heads in agreement to the idea.

“Fine, it's better than nothing I guess.” I let out a sigh and follow everyone to where we were staying in the castle, but before we could leave, Celestia shouted after us.

“Oh! We don't have rooms for all of you so Twilight, your friend will be staying with you is that okay?”

Twilight nods her head and starts heading up the rooms.

We made it to our room, closing the door behind us so we could get some privacy. I sat down on the bed, folding my arms and looking out of the window.

Twilight walks over to me and takes a seat by my side, “Do you think she will find out more about me Twilight?” I asked.

She sighs and tries to put on a smile, “I'm sure she will Chris, it’s the Princess. She will find out the information we want, just wait until tomorrow and we will find out. Maybe you should get some rest... We all had a long day.”

“I'm not even tired yet, you can go to sleep. I want to stay up a little longer and see if she finds something out.”

Twilight sighs and lays in bed, “Fine, just don't stay up all night okay?”

“Can't make any promises.”

She finally goes to sleep and I’m left alone, looking at the door waiting for Celestia to knock and tell me already. I start to doze off and I’m about to pass out from lack of sleep. I feel my eyelids starting to get heavy and I close my eyes for a second. As soon as I do, there is a quiet knock at the door. I jump up and quickly check if Twilight had been woken.

They knocked on the door again, a little louder this time. I walk over and open the door to see Celestia standing there in all her royal glory, Ah Twilight's friend... Chris was it?”

I nod my head in response and close the door behind me as I step out so our talking wouldn’t wake Twilight.

“So~ Did you find anything out?”

She lets out a depressed sigh and nods her head, “Yes I did. Come with me and I’ll tell you what I found out.”

I follow her to a massive library, much bigger than Twilights. I sit down at a nearby table and wait for Celestia as she goes over and picks up some books and puts them away.

“Before I go on, do you remember anything before you got here?” She asked.

I nod, “Yes, I know my name, some of my friends, my family, and my girlfriend. Everything else is just a fuzz to me.”

“I see, I see.”

She puts the last of the books away, leaving one out on a stand opened up and she starts to flip through it.

“Now tell me, do you remember when or how you got here?”

“All I remember is that I woke up in the middle of a road in Ponyville, I can’t remember anything other than what I’ve already told you before that.”

“Hmmm... interesting.” She paused in thought for a moment, “Now for my last questions, do you like it here, do you wish to stay and finally, do you really like Twilight?”

“Do I like it here?” I think for minute about everything that has happened to me while I was here, “Yeah I guess I like it here, been having a lot of fun so far.”

“Yes... Twilight told me about you and all the other ponies. I can tell you are having a lot of fun here.” She slams her book closed and waits for me to answer her other questions.

“Now about me staying here... I guess I would like to stay and spend more time with Twilight, get to know her more than I do right now. And yes I do like Twilight, I would love to be with her more.”

Celestia nods her head and smiles, “Okay that's good to hear. Now for me to tell you about... well you. I’ve been looking for books about you and did more research, but again I did not find a lot.”

“Wait wait, hold on.” I stop her before she can finish her sentence.

“Hmmm?” She looks at me quizzically.

“Are you sure you can't tell me anything about myself? Like, use your magic to make me remember everything from my past.”

She thinks for a minute and looks at her book again, skimming through some of it’s pages. She looks back at me and gives me a soft smile, trying to make me feel better I guess.

“Well Chris, I might be able to do that. I've never actually done something like this which might come as a surprise, but if you really want to we can try it.”

“Yes I'm willing to do anything.”

“Okay then, as you wish.” She closes the book and walks over to me, “Now Chris, I want you to close your eyes and take slow deep breaths. Forget about your surroundings and try to think back... Back before you got here and about what happened.”

I do what she says and relax my body, trying to think back to what happened. I feel her horn touch my forehead, and I start to see my past.

“Tell me... do you remember now?”

“I... I think I do.”

It all comes back to me, I was a normal seventeen year old and I had everything going right. But then I noticed something strange, me and my girlfriend broke up and I never remembered us ever doing that, and that’s when everything took a turn for the worse. It looks like I went into a depression and I stopped talking to everyone I ever knew and I became an outcast to everyone. The more it goes on the worse it gets, everything I knew about me was a lie. I was hated by everyone and nobody ever talked to me. The only person I had left was my last friend that I still talked to, and one day she finally leaves me and never talks to me again. After a while it finally shows me walking home like any other day and... I got hit by a car, it looks like I didn't die from the impact but I've been in a coma for years and still haven’t gotten out of it... All hope is gone for me and no one comes to visit me any more... I'm just laying there waiting to die.

After a while I finally open my eyes and look over at Celestia, “Are you okay Chris, is something wrong?”

I told her everything that I saw and she was surprised by everything.

“I see... Looks like you didn't find out everything, sounds like many things are missing in your story. But I guess this is the most we can get out of it right now.”

“But, it doesn’t make sense! It feels wrong, I’m sure it didn’t happen like that, and if it did, shouldn't I be in limbo or something and not here?”

Celestia just looked at me with a kind, sad smile.

“This seems all so real... I don't think that's what really happened to me. It doesn't seem right. We need to do it again, I want to know the whole thing, not just little parts.”

Celestia shakes her head and tells me that it's getting too late, we don't have time for another go at it. I stand up from my seat and head back to my room with Twilight and close the door behind me.

I must have closed the door a bit louder than I thought because Twilights head shoots up from her pillow and jerks round to look at the doorway.

“Chris is that you, where did you go?” She rubs her eyes and gets out of bed.

“Celestia wanted to talk to me, and we did find out more about me... sadly.”

She walks over to me, “Please tell me, I really want to know.”

I sigh and we head to bed where I tell her the whole story, “Chris... I don't know what to say. I mean I can tell this is not the whole story and some parts are missing but what I can tell from the parts you know right now, sounds like you didn't have a good time back in your world.”

She hugs me, not wanting to let me go, “Does that mean that you can just wake up and disappear and never come back? I don't want you to leave.” She keeps squeezing me harder and harder waiting for my answer.

“I really don't know Twilight. Like I said, I don't believe any of it but right now it's the only thing I know about me and I need to run with it. Trust me Twilight, I don't want to leave you, not like that.”

She finally lets me go and takes a deep breath. Trying to calm herself, “Do the others know yet?”

“No they don't. I plan on telling them when we head back home. Right now Twilight I really should get some sleep, we can talk about this tomorrow if you want to.”

She nods her head and goes back to hugging me, trying to fight back tears and goes to sleep. I wrap my arms around her, not wanting to let go as well.

In the morning, myself and Twilight get some quick breakfast before meeting up with the others and getting on the train back to Ponyville. I took the opportunity to tell them what I had find out about myself, they seemed to take it well and they want to know the whole thing as well and see if that's what really happened to me.

“Wait, so you're telling me that we never had sex then?” Rainbow Dash added in out of nowhere.

Everyone looks at her with a strange look before Rarity shouts,  “Why do you care about no other pony but yourself Rainbow Dash? What if he never comes back? We will never see him again!”

“What? I just want to know if what me and him did was real or not.”

“Well I don't mind dear, I know it was real with me and him. You just wanted to prove a point that you're not a lesbian.” Rarity added.

“Hey!” Rainbow gets in her face and starts to turn red.

“Girls stop fighting, both of you. You had sex with him and nothing is changing that. Some goes for you Applejack.”

Applejack tips her hat and goes back to looking out the window, not wanting to get into the argument.

What felt like ages of awkward silence, we finally made it to the Ponyville train station where Spike was waiting for us, “Oh, you're still here Chris. What happened, you’re not going back?”

I told him the same story that I told everyone else.

Twilight walked up to me and said, “Chris I understand a lot is going through your mind right now. Maybe you should go take a walk or something, have some time to yourself. I might have some time to myself as well, I need to look up some more things in my book; I want to get ready for something.”

I nod my head and walk away from the platform. I head towards the school to finish something that I’ve been putting on the side for too long now.

I finally get there after some walking around trying to find the building. I walk inside the single classroom and see Cheerilee sitting behind her desk at the front of the room.

“Hey Cheerilee, can I come in for a minute?”

She looks up from her desk and looks a bit shocked at my arrival, “Oh Chris! Yes of course you can, come over here.”

“Look Cheerilee, I don't think I can see you anymore, not like that. I would love to be with you but I think I'm in love with Twilight and I don't want to hurt you or her, I mean we weren’t exactly seeing each other anyway... I don't want to hurt anyone anymore.”

She nods her head slowly, “I understand Chris, I won't get in your way and hold you back from somepony you love. Just don't break her heart, make the best of it.”

I say thanks and goodbye before heading back to Twilight's house. I walk by the school playground and notice Sweetie Bell and her two friends, they all wave at me and start heading my way.

“Hey Chris, we need to ask you something.” Applebloom said.

“Um yeah sure, what is it?”

They all look at each and start whispering, “Well you help us get our Cutie marks?” Sweetie belle asked, brimming with excitement.

I shrug, “I don't even know what that are so I doubt I can help you, sorry.”

“So wait Chris, you don't have a Cutie mark as well? I would have thought somepony like you that gets with all the ponies would have a Cutie mark. But maybe you can still help us!”

“Yeah!” Scootaloo shouts in agreement.

All three of them got behind me and started pushing me to where ever they were going.

“Wait just a second!” I shout and turn around, “Look girls I’m sorry, but I just don’t have time for this right now. I need to get back to Twilights house, maybe I will help you find those Cootie marks or whatever later, ok?”

They all nod, “Ok, meet us at our tree house tomorrow morning then!” Applebloom said before all three of them scampered off without even telling me where this tree house was, I guess I’ll have to ask Applejack about it later.

I finally made it back to Twilight’s house and noticed her putting books away. She looks back and looks pleased that I’m back, “Hey Chris, where did you go?”

“I just had to talk to Cheerilee and Sweetie Bell asked if I could help her and her friends get their Cutie marks or something like that. I told them I'll help them tomorrow when I'm in a better mood.”

She smiles, “Ok, come upstairs with me, I want to talk about something.” We head upstairs and she closes the door to her bedroom behind us.

“Chris I was thinking, I know we’ve only known each other for a week, and we already- well I don't want to say sex but we did I guess. I was thinking... not right now because it's still too early into this relationship for something like that, but maybe in a week or two we can finally take it to the next level. Now we won't jump right to it but we will take our time and build up to it... if you think you’re ready for something like.”

I think about it for a minute and finally give her an answer, “Okay, if you say so I can wait for a week, and I won't have sex with any other ponies while we wait for this. You’re sure you want to do it with me than with another pony...”

Yeah about that, I’ve been looking through some of my older spell books Chris and I was wondering... If I could turn you into a stallion, would you do it... for me?”

“Twilight, I’m going to need some time to think about that, I mean, I like my hands and fingers a lot! I don't know if I want to give them up... and I know you liked them too that one night.” I said with a wink.

She blushes and laughs, “I did like them. It was just an idea anyway, nothing more than that. I understand if you don't want to lose those things but you could always consider being a Unicorn, then you can use magic instead of your hands.”

“Hmm, as I said I need time to think about it and I'm glad you understand that. I think I’m going to do some stuff before I head to bed.”

“Okay.”

Twilight starts getting ready for bed as I go downstairs to see Spike.

“Spike, I need to ask you something.”

“What do you want Chris?”

“What the hell is a cutie mark? And what the hell do I do with Twilight and me?!”

“Well a Cutie Mark is a picture that appears on a pony's flank when they discover their special talent. I guess you don't have one and somepony asked if you had one and now you want to know. Like it would matter, because your special talent would be having sex with other ponies and breaking their hearts. What do you mean by you and Twilight?”

“Hah you're so funny Spike” I say in an even, boring tone, “Twilight want's to take our relationship to the next level and I don't want to hurt her anymore. I like her and everything but I don't think I can dedicate myself like this for someone or anyone.”

“Chris, let’s be brutally honest here, I don’t like you and if you hadn’t already noticed that then, well... you’re just stupid but. Just do whatever you think is right, if you really like Twilight and want to do this then do it. If you don't want to, back off right now. Don't wait until the last minute when you’re too far into it to leave without causing a broken heart, maybe two! Now go away, I want to get some sleep.”

He turns around and gets into his little basket; Twilight had to move him downstairs while I was staying here, Spike was kinda pissed about it.

I head back upstairs to find Twilight fast asleep. I sneak into bed, trying not to wake her. I just lie there waiting to forget about everything that happened today.
