Chapter 2: Royal Meetings and Goodbyes
Previous ChapterNext ChapterJoseph's POV
I quickly got out of my bed and got ready for school before going to the bus stop. As I was waiting for the bus I sat on my phone reading some fanfictions that had been updated recently. As I sat there I saw a blue flash out of the corner of my eye and looked up to see Luna looking around at everything in my dream with curiosity.
“Well hello there. I wasn't expecting any guests in my dreams tonight though you're certainly welcome to look around.” I said while smiling and putting my phone away, causing Luna to jump as she probably wasn't expecting me to notice her. Ever since I was ten my dreams consisted of me going through my everyday life, so it was very easy to tell when something was wrong.
“How did thou notice us strange creature and what are these magical contraptions that thou dreams of?” Luna asked while examining a red Ford Escape. I chuckled before walking over to the vehicle and opening the passenger door for her.
“Simple. My dreams are the same every single night. I always dream about going throughout my everyday life. So when I saw a blue flash out of the corner of my eye, it wasn't too difficult for me to notice you. And these machines that you are examining are called vehicles. Think a carriage that doesn't require anypony to pull it, just a living being in the driver's seat that can properly use everything. I don't exactly know how to drive perfectly but my brother showed me once, so I would be delighted to take you on a small trip through the dream version of where I come from.” I said while still holding the door for her and gesturing for her to get in. She smiled before on getting into the car.
I closed the door behind her before getting into the driver's seat and turning it on without the key, thanks to the power of dreams. Once the car was on, a song started to play that was very fitting with how gentlemanly I was acting. Luna seemed to enjoy it as I pulled out of the parking lot and started driving around the city.
“This is very entertaining! To think that Equestria has come so far in a thousand years!” Luna said while laughing happily before I butted in.
“Equestria hasn't. This is from my universe. Ya see, Twilight accidentally summoned me from my universe while she was testing a spell that she found in her library. Everything you're seein’ is from my universe. Oh and here's a little secret.” I said before leaning in close to Luna’s ear.
“I know parts of the future.” I said while smirking at Luna’s shocked expression before I punched myself in the face, causing me to wake up.
As I quickly sat up I could tell that it was still early in the morning, before sunrise, because of the lack of noise coming from upstairs. I smiled before getting out of bed and moving my mattress so I could get my duffel bags. I opened the green one and took out a bunch clothes. Once I had an outfit picked out I changed into the green combat pants, brown combat boots, green shirt, black jacket and black fingerless gloves before putting my pajamas in the bag and zipping it up. I opened the blue duffel bag, which was filled with MREs and other kinds of food that I could eat on the go as well as medical supplies, and took out a pair of black, full tang 'ninja' swords that I had gotten off of Amazon. Despite where I had gotten them from, they were really good swords. I used the strap for the sheath that came with them to strap them to my lower back, in order to maintain my flexibility.
I also had my peacekeeper revolver in the bag, though it would only work as a club since it was simply a very realistic replica. I closed the bag and moved on to the brown one, which had all of my books in it as well as my kindle and my second phone. I took out all of the books as well as a pen that I kept in there before writing out a note for Twilight telling her to keep the books and for her to try and recreate some of the things in the books, specifically the ways to generate electricity. After that I closed the brown bag while leaving my kindle and phone inside before hiding the brown bag in the hole in my bed.
Once that was done, I strapped the blue and green duffel bags to my back before walking upstairs and heading outside of the library. I smiled before turning and sprinting towards the Everfree Forest.
Twilight's POV
I woke up and smiled as I quickly went downstairs to see Spike cooking breakfast as per usual. There was a cup of coffee that I quickly downed after adding some milk and sugar. Spike brought the rest of the breakfast before sitting down with his plate of food. He was about to bite into his food when I realized that Joseph wasn't up yet.
"Hey Spike? Could you go get Joseph? He should be sleeping downstairs in his bed." I said causing Spike to stop and set his food down before going downstairs to get Joseph. I continued to eat my breakfast in peace until I heard Spike shout.
"Twilight! You might want to see this!" Spike had shouted causing me to quickly stand up and trot downstairs, only to see that Joseph was gone and there was instead a pile of books that I had never seen before with a note on the top. I levitated the note over to myself and started reading it. I got really excited when it got to the parts about Joseph giving me these books and even encouraging me to recreate some of his universe's technology. Unfortunately all of my excitement drained away when I got to the end of the note.
"HE DID WHAT?!"
Author's Note
Not sure if you'll like the perspective change, but I thought that it would be fitting considering the situation. If you see any grammatical errors please point them out as I wrote this chapter at around midnight.
The --- will symbolize a shift in realms, AKA dream realm to the real world and stuff like that.
