A Rosy Dream

After finally going to sleep, the next thing I realized is that I was in what appeared to be a room with some books and two stained glass windows. One had a depiction of the sun on it and the other depicted the moon. That place looked so familiar to me and then suddenly I realized I had seen that place before, it was the room where Twilight and her friends had discovered Celestia and Luna's old castle.

I then noticed that their old journal was up on a pedestal so I got up to go take a look at it and read about how things were for Celestia and Luna when they lived there. When I went to grab the book I noticed something didn't look right with my hands. They were a light gray, something that was certainly not natural. I also noticed that my footsteps seemed to be louder than normal. I looked down and noticed that no longer did I have feet, I actually had hooves. I was really beginning to wonder what was going on at that point.

I then also felt something weird on my head, I thought maybe the heat I worked in did something to me. Given everything that was already happening I had my suspicions as to what it was but when I reached up with my hands and felt a horn, I was shocked. I now had a unicorn horn. I looked down and saw that I was in my work clothes but then one final thing crossed my mind to see if I my suspicions were truly correct. I decided to pull my pants down to expose my flanks and I discovered that I had a jackhammer cutie mark. I was shocked when I saw this.

I wasn't quite sure if this was a freaky dream or if someone hopes and wishes hard enough that it will come true but suddenly I was an anthro unicorn. When I realized that, I thought that maybe where I was was similar to the Equestria in the show and that I was not that far away from Ponyville. The first thing that began to run through my mind was one particular mare, one that has always captivated me and now that I'm an anthro unicorn, I'll admit it, she is my waifu.

First thing was first though, I was a unicorn and I did want to know at least enough magic that I wouldn't look completely useless to the other unicorns. I began to look in that secret chamber and I was able to find a book on basic magic which surprised me because I wouldn't think such a book would be hidden away the way it was. I looked through and discovered material involving basic levitation and trying to understand it was horribly difficult.

After discovering that I have to actually picture the object being lifted in my head, I flared up my horn and actually lifted the book. Ok, I know that to lift heavier objects I need to practice but knowing that I was likely close to Ponyville and perhaps Roseluck was too much for me to be able to resist so I left the ruins and then headed off in the direction that I thought Ponyville would be.

As I was walking, I could hear the growls of the timberwolves and realized that things would not bode well for me if I ran across one because I had only studied a bit of levitation magic, not any self-defense or combat magic. After what was likely an hour, the forest thinned and I saw a place that I never once imagined that I would actually be able to visit in real life, Ponyville.

Now I was hungry but I had one problem, how the hell would I be able to afford anything given I didn't have any bits? I then noticed something in one of my pockets. I reached in and pulled out what wound up being some bits, coins in various denominations, ones that matched the bills in my wallet. Well at least now I will be able to get something to eat so the first place I headed was the local cafe.

I knew how much the ponies in Equestria liked their flowers and I hoped that I could get something more than a nasty flower sandwich. When I arrived at the cafe, the place was packed. There was only one empty table and I hoped to secure it before someone, I mean somepony else did. The moment I got sat down, another customer got sat down at the same time, right across from me.

When I looked up I could hardly believe my eyes, it was Roseluck. Now I didn't want to be rude or anything so I told her that I would leave so she could have the table but told me not to worry and that we could share it. The smile she gave me was so captivating and I immediately was lost in those green eyes. I got lost in them enough with her being on the other side of a TV screen but to see them in person, wow, just wow!

I wasn't sure exactly how I was going to go about doing this but I did know one thing, I did want to get to know Roseluck. Even if I only got to spend a brief amount of time talking to her at the cafe, I would be happy. Of course though, I was hoping to maybe become friends with her.
