Anon And the Ponies Talk

Celestia was sitting on her throne as she fills out various forums, legal papers, and other official documents, but as she filled the documents the alicorn struggles to stay awake. Even if she tries to hide it, Celestia has some serious bags under her eyes, which look she hasn’t gotten any sleep for a week. And the reason for her state of being is because of Anon’s dream.

Actually, Celestia nor her sister can make heads or tails of what they witnessed in Anon’s dream space, it was both spectacular to see so many vivid and abstract things, but they would often lead to things that not even the sister could fathom any creature would dream about. From ragging seas of horrid monsters of untold horrors, to mechanical monstrosities that devoured whole cities and many, many more dreadful things. But contrasting the horrid visions were images, and displays of both wonder, outwardly silly & goofy, to even unfathomable astonishment. The constant back and forth between these two concepts, wretched nightmares, and bewildering marvels, Celestia was truly wondering if Anon was both insane, and an abstract marvel.

Celestia was even more surprised that she was able to remain sane, after witnessing all that and more, but what occurred in the dream space wasn’t the only reason for Celestia’s current state. What was causing equal stress on her, was her wondering over and over again, if Anon himself is mentally deranged or unstable. If anything that she has seen in Anon’s dreams is of any indication, she fears that under that unassuming mask he wears, lies a tormented being that is on the fridge of becoming mentally broken.

‘If this is true…then we must do something quickly, before Anon becomes a shattered husk.’ Celestia lamented as she fills out another document. ‘But what can we do…we still know nothing about humans, or how their minds work…’

But as she starts thinking of ways to try and help Anon, a wisp of smoke came flying into the throne room. seeing the wisp, Celestia grew a small smile, as she believes she was about to get some mail from Twilight. That smile quickly soured as the alicorn remembered the state her pupil, and her friends were in when they all awoke from the dream space of Anon’s mind. Each one of the six ponies looked as if they were subjected to the most, unnatural thing that they have witnessed in all of history. They all looked like a pale ghost that looked so strained and exhausted, that Celestia thought all of them looked like they were about to collapse to the floor, and become vegetables. The alicorn could only pray that they recover from this venture, with no damaging side effects.

As the wisp of smoke floated till it was a foot from Celestia, it rematerialized as a scroll…but it didn’t have Twilight’s initials on it. it had Anon’s name on it! placing the documents to the side, Celestia took the scroll in her magical aura and began reading it. however there was only one line of words, which read…

Celestia, Luna, and everyone else who decided to delve into my dreams, we need to talk. NOW!

The scroll then exploded into a little burst of confetti, causing the mare to jerk back in surprise. As Celestia sat there on her throne she wonders on how Anon knew they were in his dream space, because as far as she knew, Anon has no idea that the mares have been in his dreams. Standing up from her throne the alicorn’s horn ignited with magic, and in a flash of light blinked out of existence, before reappearing in front of Anon’s bedroom door. But the alicorn was not alone. standing beside her in front of the door was her sister Luna, who looks as bad as Celestia does, same goes for Twilight and her friends who were also standing around them, each one also looking very surprised. As if they weren’t expecting to be here.

“Twilight what—how did you get back here? I thought you and your friends headed back to Ponyville? How did you and your friends get back to the castle?” Luna asked in bewilderment.

“I…don’t know.” Twilight says to the alicorn. “We were all on the train heading back home, but then this note from Anon came flying into our car. And when we read it, we all got teleported here.”

“But how’s that possible? Nonny can’t use magic.” Pinkie Pie said as she scratches her head. “At least I don’t remember him doing any magic when he’s around us.”

“Yeah, I thought he had one of you do this.” Applejack said as she rubs her eyes, which seem to have the heavier bags under any of the other mare’s eyes. “But considering both ya’ll look just as stupefied as us.”

“I’m not even sure what’s even going on.” Rainbow said as she was way to tired to even think straight right now.

“We certainly haven’t had a hoof in this.” Celestia says, equally confused by all this. “But we won’t find our answers by standing here.”

The group nodded in unison as the white alicorn knocked on the door. The eight ponies waited for a response, but after a minute or two of waiting, the mare knocked on the door again. But after another minute of waiting Anon hasn’t opened the door. Concern and fright soon took over the mares, as their wearied and tired minds started to think troubling thoughts, especially when they thought back to Anon’s letter. Quickly opening the door the mares barged into Anon’s room…and found the young man sitting on a chair, at a table…that’s floating in the air…with Discord of all creatures pouring tea and passing what looked like pastries around. And they both seem to be in some kind of conversation. Just the sight of these two casually talking to one another, like their old friends.

“—Path of Radiance maybe old school Anon, but even by today’s standards, I think the argument of its graphic still hold up is valid. Plus, the nostalgia vibe is the best vibe.” Discord said before scarfing down the piece of toast he had in his lions paw.

“Alright that seems fair.” Anon said to the draconequus, before noticing the group of mares at his door. “Oh, you guys made it.”

“Oh phooey.” Discord said as the table, him and Anon were placed on the ground. “Looks like our discussion about treasured Video Games will have to be put on hold for now.” The ponies looked between the human and the draconequus, their tired rattled minds not able to comprehend what they’re looking at.

“…Anon…what’s going on here?” Twilight asks the young man as he looked at the ponies. “And, since when are you and Discords friends?”

“Don’t worry about Discord, he’s only going to be watching.” Anon say’s as he points at Discord with a thumb, before turning his full attention onto the mares. “The main reason why I asked you all here, is because I want to talk to you girls about going into my head.” Anon said as he jabbed a finger at his head. the eight ponies looked at each other like a big secret was spilled.

“So you did know.” Luna asked sheepishly, like a little kid who is about to get scolded. Anon just nodded his head before looking sternly at the ponies.

“I overheard all of you talking about delving into my dreams, which for me, I consider it a very gross invasion of not only my personal space, but my own being as well. Which I’m not very pleased about.” Anon said with a tone of disapproval, which caused the mares to look down at the floor, while their ears splayed back.

“On another note, why do you all seem to think I’m someone who needs help, or is this tormented person that needs rescuing?” the ponies looked at each other with hesitant eyes, before Celestia took a step forward.

“It’s just…you are so much weaker than an average pony, so we thought that we’d need to keep constant watch over you, so you don’t hurt yourself. Or something hurts you.” Celestia says with a modicum of shame.

“And…even after all this time of knowing you. we still know very little of what humans are capable of. You never really tell us anything about your people, so we—” Luna added as Anon rubs the bridge of his nose.

“So you thought digging around inside my dreams would give you some idea of what I’m really like?” the ponies nodded in unison. “Well guess what that ended up doing.” The ponies, along with Discord—whose been enjoyably watching this conversation go by—looked at Anon as he developed a more tense presence. Like an upset parent.

“It made you all think I’m a crazy person on the verge of snapping. Pretty much made you all look like sleep depraved zombies, and probably gave you all your own nightmares.”

All of the ponies nodded almost instantly, as they all remembered some part of the dream, or nightmare, they were all subjected to when in Anon’s dream space. In all fairness, the ponies should have asked for Anon’s permission to enter his dream space, and see if he was okay with the idea. But now that they know better, they will mind the young man’s privacy.

“We’re sorry for intruding on your dreams Anon, and for thinking you were a mentally unstable person.” Celestia said to the young man, who gave a small nod.

“Now that is all cleared up, I would recommend you not try to intrude on my dreams, as they’re usually pretty random.” The ponies nodded in agreement. “And from now on, try to respect my boundaries, that also includes on just walking up to me and giving my physical affection. Human’s just don’t do that unless both parties consent to it.”

“We understand Anon.” Celestia says for the group, who all nodded their heads. “We promise to take your feelings into more careful consideration…and mind your boundaries more so.”

Once Anon feels that the ponies have fully understand everything that he was saying, Anon told them that they should probably get some actual sleep. Especially Celestia and Luna. Naturally, the ponies said they were doing fine for now, but with a little help from his new friend, Discord snapped his fingers and pretty much made the ponies fall asleep. Discord then snapped his fingers again, and all eight mares were teleported to their respective rooms, with Twilight and company being sent back to Ponyville and tucked into their beds.

“Well…that was handy.” Anon said as he walked over to the snoring Celestia, and began gently poking her cheek, feeling its soft flesh, and velvety fur.

“Oh just wait and watch this!” Discord cracked his fingers before he did…something.

Looking out side the window of his room, Anon watched at the day practically turned into night in the span of a few seconds. When he looked over at his rooms own clock, he saw it fast forwarding all the way till it was at least ten o’clock at night. After the display of fast forwarding time was over with, Anon looked back to Discord who snapped his fingers one last time. and a flat screen TV with a game console and controller appeared, along with their table being covered in various late night foods from Earth, with a mini-fridge sitting by, and the chairs they were sitting on were transformed into comfy recliners. Discord then held the game controller in his lions paw, and looked at Anon with a playful hopeful look.

“Wanna binge and long play Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance?”

Anon just gave a big smile to his new draconequus friend, before reaching for a double cheeseburger on the table, and opening the fridge and pulled out a large can of root beer. Discord levitated his own can of soda towards himself, as well as having a large burrito materialize in front of him as he holds the controller.

“Let’s do this!”

Discord’s smile grew just a hair, as the TV was turned on, and the pair watched as the intro cinematic to the game plays before them. now to Anon, Discord is just as weird and bizarre as the ponies…but it’s the kind of weird that he knows how to handle. And so for the rest of the night, going all the way to nine in the morning, both Discord and Anon spent hours playing, chatting, and eating. While the eight ponies got their much need sleep, without having their own dreams being affected by Anon’s.
