Author's Note

Don't worry guys! I did say I promised at least a 7k chapter so I'm just slightly splitting it because I realised that it's going to take me to probably 10k depending on how I go about this next part, I am still working on it, I just wanna give my wrists a slight break from writing all day since I fell asleep last night lmao.

A new character will be introduced and I need a quick bottle gin because I want to make the next chapter authentic as fuck when I'm drunk ;)

Also! If you see any issues and errors make sure you let me know and I'll get it sorted.

See ya in like an hour or two! Gotta get smashed lads!

Train to Canterlot Pt 1

Where the fuck was I now? I know I was in a dream, I'm no really new to the whole Lucid Dreaming thing, I use to do it a lot when I was on Earth, I got to a point where I could keep my Lucidity long enough for about half an hour or so, I did suck at creating characters out of thin air, but I definitely didn't suck at blowing up shit, and dry humping anything I could get my hands on, it was an...experience.

Right now It would appear to be that I am in my own dream and for what dream it was, it wasn't exactly bizarre like most dreams, this one, however, was, quite, normal-looking like a blank slate, white everywhere making it seem like I just died and I'm waiting for the man himself to appear in front of me before I can stick my foot so far up his arse that he'll be tasting my ethereal leather shoe. That's if spirits even have shoes or even feet for that matter.

So, I started to look around, I even created a few objects in my hand so I can further confirm that this place indeed is a dream, it wasn't anything fancy, just a regular old cube, making it disappear, I had a nagging feeling that I wasn't just here on out of a whim, It feels like one of those things that you get called for and you want nothing to do with it. And hey ho, I was right, the whitish realm darkened ever so slightly making way for a moon to slowly rise up into what I assumed to be a sky, then the moon grew in a gigantic size a flash and then nothing, but then I saw Luna cascading down with her normal like grace than before.

It was a nice sight.

As the princess herself landed on the void like floor the scenery quickly turned into a lush blue field of grass, with the moon back to its normal size and just slightly overhead with its ray of wonder shining down on us both, the starts dotting themselves across the night sky making my breath almost hitch in my throat from the amazement. And if it's one thing, is that I always prefer the night rather than the day, sure the day is nice, peaceful and beautiful, but it just couldn't compare to the galaxies stars on any planet for that matter, I'm just lucky I landed on a planet with a moon or a sun.

And even a slight breeze came into effect, wafting through my hair cooling me slightly, it was quite heavily in fact, I just sort of soaked everything in so much in fact that I ignored Luna trying to get my attention.

"Ah! Sorry, was just taking everything in, how's it going Luna?" I said whilst turning my head towards her with a small smile on my face.

"We are faring well Elliott, if thee were wondering why we have called thee here, it is because our sister wanted to remind thee of the meeting taking place tomorrow afternoon." She said whilst moving a line of hair out of the way, not sure how that works since the hair itself moves on its own.

"Also, thee will be accompanied by one of our guards, particularly from our own regiment. Just a fair warning, she is of the bat pony race, so I'd advise thee to not be alarmed." She said whilst taking a look towards the sky moving her hand around for a few moments making some of the stars in my dream disappear and reappear in different locations.

"Oh, didn't know there where bat ponies, not that I mind its kind of cool." Moving my hand towards my cheek scratching a phantom itch away whilst looking towards the sky to admire Luna's handy work, she was really experienced in this type of work it kind of makes me feel envious a little bit.

"Good, now that is out of the way, thou should be waking up, also, we saw your predicament and we found it hilarious!" Luna was laughing at your misfortune, what was worse? The fact that you basically got caught with Twilight's panties, or the fact that you slipped on the floor, shrieked like a little girl and knocked myself unconscious, again!

"Yeah yeah, laugh it up you great bloomin p-" You stopped your sentence before Luna gave you a stern stare as if to say, 'If you continue those words you'll be eating through a fuckin straw' but I didn't care, I continued because I knew the dream was about to end. So what did I do? I basically imagined I had a plasma grenade from Halo in my hand. And what did I do with said grenade? Watch this!

"Yo Luna!" I shouted as the dream was about to collapse, she looked over.

"Catch this!" I threw the glowing blue grenade towards her, it stuck on her hands, as she caught it though, she looked in absolute confusion then she started waving her hands erratically to get the little blue ball of death removed from her now pulsating hands, not even her magic would remove it.

"Elliott! Thou will tell us what this thing is!" She shouted over at me whilst I was laughing my arse off, I knew I was going to get in shit for this, but it was fucking worth it, I've always wanted to do this. Then it exploded in her face, which made me laugh even harder, the world was on its last straw and looking over to what I had done. The smoke dissipated and a furious Luna was stood.

"Thou Art Dead!" Luna said her wings slightly scorched and she erected them upwards ready to take off and pulverize the shite out of me. She was just upon me before the world shattered entirely and I immediately woke up with the image of Luna's enraged face.

I'm so dead when I get to Canterlot.

Getting up from my bed it looks like I was in my room, good thing they didn't put me in the hospital again, I wouldn't want Nurse Redheart getting all uppity and the fact that I hate hospitals with a fuckin vengeance. Looking towards my table on the right side nearest the window, a bundle of clothes were placed on top of the surface, moving on over towards the neatly folded pieces of material.

And it was my clothes that I left at Rarity's yesterday, thank god they didn't take my fuckin underwear, looking outside the window it was pretty early, the scenery had highlights of blue, like those winter mornings we would get. The sun hadn't even come up yet. Either way, I wasn't going back to sleep, when shit like this happens such as my body waking me up early than it should have I could never go back to sleep, no matter how tired I was I just couldn't. So the only solution would be to down some coffee like a proper legend.

After putting on my clothes again in which I felt really appreciative of since I was sick of running around half-naked. Opening the door and seeing the bathroom in front of me I then sniffed my armpits and noticed that I did in fact stink a little so I decided to get a quick wash. Moving into the bathroom the actual shower was slightly smaller but nothing too uncomfortable, either way, I shouldn't be taking Twilight's generosity for granted, hopefully, when all this shit is done I can get a job and start making my way around here, I may have been a lazy cunt living with my dad but here, definitely not, it's time I should be pulling my own weight and become a new person.

I was in the shower now, the water trickling down my entire body was a nice feeling I couldn't ever forget, I use to have long showers specifically around an hour simply because I would be in my head most of the time, just thinking, it was one of my places I'd spend my time relaxing whilst the water splashed through my hair making my body warm and cosy, it really made my mind drift away most of the time.

Lathering up my hair and hands rubbing my scalp not too harsh but just enough to let the shampoo seep into my hair follicles. The shampoo bottle itself was kind of like the one we had on Earth, but for some reason, I could read it now, maybe because I now have magic inside of me? Oh well, thoughts for later.

Rinsing my hair out and waiting for the rest of the water to drain, this shower wasn't like any shower, it seemed everything was powered by magic, and from the looks of it there were two runes etched artistically into the tiled wall, one for hot and one for cold, whilst a massive shower head was above me and a arcane circle just left of the other runes and if I put my hand in the middle like I'm clasping an invisible handle that you turn from left to right, slow or fast, it was pretty convenient despite how intricate the runes looked I kind of wanted to get myself in exploring this worlds magic.

Stepping out of the shower I spotted a towel, well, most of the towels looked the same, all of them were lavender in colour, the same mark that's on Twilights arse cheek, the only reason I know is that she was wearing a moderately short skirt yesterday. Grabbing the towel and wrapping it around my waist I grabbed my clothes in one arm and walked down the hallway, I knew I was naked this time, however, I was pretty confident nobody would be stupid enough to take it off, and I'm pretty sure that Twilight was used to my bare chest anyways so I couldn't really careless, to be honest.

Walking down the wooden steps I nearly slipped because of how wet my feet were from the shower, rubbing them slightly got them to dry themselves up pretty quickly and removing any worries I had of falling. Getting to the bottom of the stairs
I inhaled the lovely fragrance of coffee, it looks like Twilight was down here because I could hear her talking to herself, Spike didn't seem to be around otherwise I would've heard his voice by now, walking towards the kitchen, I saw Twilight seated at her table with a book in hand and a cup of warm coffee in the other, not even using her magic, her wings splayed to her sides whilst she had a pair of reading glasses on, she was quite focused on what she was reading and didn't even notice me come in even though I walked passed her.

Hmmm, ah well, I guess I'll leave her be, I'll make myself some coffee.

Walking to the fridge I opened it quite quickly, grabbing the milk from the right-hand corner and placing it on the counter next to the dish rack, grabbing a mug from one of the cupboards just above me it even had Celestia best princess on it, looks like someone has an unhealthy obsession, I've only been here about a day and a half and I can already see she's a bit mental for her goddess, then again who wouldn't be? I mean just imagine those white thighs, I don't know about you but I'm a thigh kind of guy.

Putting the required contents into the mug and putting it over to the hot water rune filling up my cup whilst picking up a small teaspoon and swishing the ingredients enough for it all to mix properly. With my coffee completely done I moved over and seated myself in front of Twilight, I wasn't sure if she had known I was already here or she simply so oblivious she was in her own dimension or something.

Just sipping my coffee whilst thinking about stuff was really relaxing, with tea yeah it's nice and all but when I drink coffee I just feel a lot better, tired or not it really does its fuckin job. Switching my eyes back to Twilight for a solid two minutes before she noticed I was actually sat right in front of her.

"Oh! Sorry! I didn't know you where there Elliott, you could of just tapped me you know?" she said whilst placing her book down, her attention completely on me, I did, however, notice her eyeing my chest but I ignored it.

"Well, you looked so into your book that I didn't want to disturb you, I was just making myself some coffee. Either way, I understand, I love reading too." I said whilst looking at my none existent watch on my left wrist.

"Ah well okay, did you know it's nearly time for you to head over to Rarity's? It is 9 am after all," she said whilst putting her cup down with her magic. she was trying to slightly gauge my reaction, I, however, took a bit more time to react than I should of.

"FUCK! Sorry Twilight! Gotta go love! See ya in a bit." I said whilst grabbing what's left of my coffee and downing it in one gulp like the last time. I quickly dashed through the kitchen into the library with the towel still wrapped around my waist, I could hear Twilight chuckling in the kitchen, moving my way upstairs and launching myself down the hallway and into my room I quickly grabbed my clothes, pulled off my towel and let it fall to the floor.

As soon as I got all of my gear on I saw my sword against the wall next to the window, and my coat hanging just behind my door. Grabbing both my coat and weapon, typing my sword to my waist and wrapping the leathery coat around my entire body I was now ready to tackle the outside world.

I was at the door ready to pull the handle before Twilight shouted from the kitchen.

"Elliott! Make sure you meet me at the train station! Rarity will be coming with you so she will show you the way!" Blimey, that girl can half shout her lungs out, I'm only like a few steps away from the kitchen.

"Okay! No worries! I'll see ya later then!" making my way out of the door Twilight gave me a quick bye and I set off towards the boutique.

Walking through Ponyville was nice, it's a quaint little town, pretty peaceful, just walking through and noticing so many people with slight smiles on their face is kind of astonishing to see, you wouldn't see that anywhere on Earth, most people just look at you funny, or get angry, it's a really pleasant change of pace. I would walk by a few of the locales and they would way or say hi to me, I would, of course, return it. For some reason, it warmed me ever so slightly, I think I'm going to like it here.

I was at the boutique, opening the door with a slight push and again the bell sounded just above my head. Walking through the boutique I quickly gathered that Rarity wasn't near her sawing machine like last time, so I decided to call out for her, she must of at least heard the bell.

"Hello! Rarity! I'm here!" I said whilst taking off my coat and hooking it on one of the holders Rarity had placed just on the left past the door.

"I'm in here darling! Come see your new wardrobe!" she shouted letting me know where her exact location was, and it was in the same place where I nearly got touched up, nice.

Walking into the back rooms of Rarity's measuring room, she was currently levitating a handle of clothes, mostly cool like colours but what stood out the most was two leather belts, that was attached to a smallish looking side bag, or pouch, with a zip along the top for easy access. Was that mine?

I also took notice of the different coloured shirts, some long-sleeved some short-sleeved, most were either black, white and grey, mostly moody colours, it looks like she already knows me quite well. It's not that I don't like other colours, hell I like yellow for fuck sakes, even purple, but this is a start, who knows, I'll probably change the way I dress a little later down the line if I can be arsed. She also had a few jeans, a few softer looking pants for me to doss about in and even underwear, which I was a bit squeamish about.

"Hello, are those mine? Because they lookin fuckin brilliant love. Especially the leather double belt." I said with a lot of appreciation.

"Oh! Thank you, darling! I'm glad you like them, I thought it would be better to carry your sword with a little more style rather than a loose piece of cloth. Be a dear and try it on, since we are running on a schedule for the meeting at Canterlot it would be absolutely dashing if you wore it." she said with a flick of her curled hair whilst magicking it over towards my open arms.

"Yeah sure, I'll do that right now, I think I'll replace my shirt though with the black sleeveless one, feels, even more, silkier than mine," I said whilst taking my shirt off and replacing it with the other much higher quality piece of work. Slipping it over my head and then wrapping the double belt to my waist and clamping the belt buckles tight but not too much to cause discomfort.

Huh, I do look pretty 'dashing' in this.

"Now it looks like we are getting near enough to our deadline to meet everypony else by the train station, so I'd advise you to leave some of your stuff here and I'll teleport the rest back to Twilight's place when we all head home darling," she said whilst grabbing one of her diamond-coated satchels from one of the dressing tables to my right and slipping it over her petite form.

"Yeah sure, let's go then," I said whilst laying down the rest of the clothes on said table and walking out of the room along with Rarity behind me.

Grabbing my coat and sword from the wall, putting my sword through the little tight gap the two belts made keeping it sturdy and flexible enough just in case something happens. Flipping my coat over my body but this time making sure it's completely stuck to my body without putting my hands through the armholes leaving the cuffs hanging by its sides.

We were both walking through town again and I saw a few coloured specks in the distance one blue one flying a little bit obnoxiously doing loopy loops and such. Probably Rainbow Dash. They were all grouped together and as we got closer to them they started waving us over in a hurried manner.

"Quick! The train is about to leave you, idiot!" Rainbow Dash screamed at the top of her lungs along with a flick of her and tail in annoyance, to everyone's dismay their ears where slightly ringing. Me and Rarity nodded to each other and decided to slightly sprint, much to Rarity's misfortune since she's so 'ladylike' and shouldn't be seen running like a hooligan.

Eventually, the rest of the group had already got on after Rainbow had shouted, so the train was slightly moving ready to depart. We both sprinted enough faster now, and I was generally thinking of carrying her and bombing it down the bloody path. But, we both made it and quickly jumped in the train before it left without us.

"Well, it looks like we made it," I said whilst giving Rarity a rather coy smirk, she, however, huffed in response and a slight grin along with it.

"Yes, indeed, it would've been terrible if we missed the train, disastrous even," she said whilst walking past a few seats that were somewhat full. We both looked towards the other cart because that's where most of the noise is coming from, looks like we have a private cart, considering there wasn't anyone else in the carriage with them. A few of the locals or rather the locals of other areas since I hadn't really seen these people before, then again I haven't been out that much either, but they were wearing some really expensive 1920s clothing, some top hats, a few what looked to be fedoras, long waistcoats.

Is it really that obvious that I look different to everyone else? Then again, pinkish skin may give them an idea, either that or word has already got out that I'm basically an alien.

Is that the alien everypony is on about?

Yeah, it looks like him, I saw it on the Canterlot Sun's newspaper this morning.

Look, he's got a sword, scary!

'Well, there you go. I knew this would happen sooner or later.'

Moving past the prying eyes of everyone else on the cart, me and Rarity went through the doors that connected to our friend's seats, walking through the rather small wooden door I opened it wide enough for Rarity to step through.

"My what a gentlestallion, or rather a Gentleman in your case, very smooth." she laughed behind one of her hands and carried on walking. I simply gave her a sharped tooth smirk. Everyone perked up at our arrival, smiles on their faces and a very big one from Pinkie Pie, as usual. Me and Rarity seated ourselves next to each other.

I would say about 20 minutes had past and we hadn't got closer to Canterlot from the looks of it, slanting my head a bit to look outside the window at the massive fuckin castle on the side of a mountain, it felt as if years were going by, by just sitting here bored out of my mind whilst Rainbow Dash naps on one of the seats whereas the rest of the group was either talking or in Twilight's case, reading a book. Two options, either read a book like a normal person or move outside of one of the cabins doors to the guard rail and sit myself up on top of the roof of the train.

Fuck it, the roof it is! Because I'm a fuckin legend!

"Where are you going, Elliott?" Fluttershy looking my way whilst everyone's eyes were on me, even Rainbow Dash was awake looking at me confusingly.

"The fuckin roof!" I said with a joyful laugh and a shit-eating grin. Everyone else was wide-eyed, some even wanted to stop me, but failing because they were pulled back. Rainbow Dash, however, thought it was fuckin cool so she asked me if she could join me in which I obliged. Just stepping outside of the jostling train going at a somewhat decent speed I saw a ladder right past the window that leads to the roof, giving Rainbow a knowing grin, I walked over.

wrapping my hand around the bars of the ladder, I pulled myself up, whilst I held out my hand for dash to take it since, at this speed, any pegasi's wings will get flown from the train. Helping her up and on top of the train we both sat next to each other, she was on her back having a good ole time. Whilst I was sat cross-legged looking towards the mountain. We had gotten quite closer now but it looks like it's going to take until nightfall for this train to arrive, so I decided to lay back with dash, she had already fallen asleep so I chose to fuck off to sleep too.

All was right in the world.
