A Rosy Dream

The last thing I remembered was falling asleep holding Roseluck close after us having sex. Then I suddenly found myself in the throne room up in Canterlot. Before me was Princess Luna. I wasn't sure how I got there or why I was there but I knew to be respectful. I bowed and asked, "Princess Luna, how did I get here and why am I here?"

Luna began, "Storm Lewis, while I normally never visit the dreams of humans, I decided to visit yours. I visited yours because you are dreaming about one of my subjects. The type of dream you are having is well, how do I put it, unacceptable and I am displeased with it."

I could tell that by how Luna was acting, that I might be in for a world of hurt but I couldn't help but wonder how she knew. I asked, "How did you know about my dream?"

Luna replied, "I knew because Roseluck is having the same dream." She paused momentarily and continued, "As you know, Alicorn princesses have incredibly powerful magic and in the case of mine, especially in the dream realm."

I said, "Yes, I know that."

She then continued, "Now I think that the two of us need to have a talk with my sister present because not only is your dream going to impact you for a long time, maybe even the rest of your life, but it will do the same to Roseluck."

I asked, "Seriously?"

"Yes, seriously." Luna replied. Luna then yelled, "Sister, our guest is here!"

I knew what was going on. I knew that Princess Celestia was coming and I had my concerns that Celestia would not be thrilled. When she arrived she gave me an intense look and asked, "You are Storm Lewis I take it?"

I bowed and replied, "I am your Majesty."

Celestia began, "Like my sister said, both you and Roseluck are having the same dream. This is something that has only happened three other times when it comes to a human and one of our subjects." I tried to say something but Celestia continued, "This is particularly concerning because like Luna said, this will affect both of you."

Luna took over, "If we do nothing about this and both of you wake up normally, both of you will have the same dream every single night and it will negatively affect the lives of both of you. She will constantly long for you and never search for a special somepony and you will long for her. You will measure every single woman up to her and none will come close to being like her so you Storm, you will never find anyone to love and die alone."

I nodded slowly as Celestia again took over, "But, there are two options to fix that. One of those we do not like the idea of because of the negatives that come with it but the other, we would be more than glad to make happen."

I asked, "And what are those?"

Luna began, "The first is a memory eradication spell. What the two of us could do is cast a spell that would cause you and Roseluck to wake up and have completely forgotten this dream. This has happened before and the humans chose the memory eradication spell because they didn't want to leave their life in your world."

Celestia added, "This has happened with three other humans, two male and one female. Once we cast the memory eradication spell, it worked for five years on both the human and the pony. Eventually though they remembered the dream and the desire for the one they fell for consumed them and things didn't turn out so well."

Luna continued, "But there is a second option, an option that has consequences that you may find unpleasant."

I asked, "What is that option and what are those consequences?"

Celestia replied, "The second option is to make all this real. That option will cause not only all of the events of your dream be real, but that your new life will begin in Equestria dating back to your arrival at our old castle. You will have the same skill sets you had in the human world." She pointed towards my cutie mark and continued, "Now given what your talent is here in Equestria, you will either have to move to a city back east or up here to Canterlot to make a living and I don't know if Roseluck would be willing to move with you."

I asked, "I will be with Roseluck if I choose this option?"

"Yes." Luna replied, "The bond between you is very special, maybe special enough that she will want marriage and you two will be together for the rest of your lives, lives that are far longer than that of a human."

Celestia continued, "Now about the consequence. You will still remember your family and friends as they will remember you. They will all think that you simply went missing and the authorities of your world will search for you, with no success."

Luna added, "I don't know how close you and your family and friends are but a lot will be riding on your decision."

I will admit, I certainly didn't expect the events that would come along with either decision to be so life altering for so many individuals. Now I did like my friends quite a bit but I began to think that starting over here in Equestria wouldn't be so bad.

Now when I was growing up, my family and I were very close but we began to grow apart when I chose construction work in Omaha over going to college in Lincoln. I chose the construction work because the thoughts of college, the debt that came with it and the fact that some job that required a college degree just wasn't for me. By the time I fell asleep and wound up in Equestria, I only really got together with my family for the major holidays so still remembering them but being unable to see them wouldn't be the worst thing.

I then began to think about the one individual who suddenly means the world to me, Roseluck. I did not like the idea of our memories of one another being temporarily wiped out only to come back later. I also didn't like the idea of simply waking back up at home and then both of us being consumed by thoughts and desires for the other.

The third option though, the one involving me staying here and being with Roseluck for the rest of my life seemed so desirable. In just one day, I had fallen madly in love with her and she had done the same with me. The thoughts of her and I spending a whole pony lifetime together and hopefully an eternal afterlife together brought so much warmth to my heart. I then decided that the third option was the only option. I love Roseluck so much and a life without her would be unbearable so I decided to give the princesses my decision.

I stepped forward and replied, "Your Majesties, I have made my decision."

Given that it had only been less than a minute they seemed kind of shocked. Celestia asked, "Are you sure? Your fellow humans took quite some time. In the case of one of them, it took her three hours before she chose the memory eradication spell."

Luna continued, "And with the two men, it took both of them well over an hour before choosing the memory eradication spell."

I replied, "Well I am not choosing that. I wish to remain here with Roseluck because we have fallen in love with one another."

Both princesses gave me a smile, especially Luna. Luna replied, "Unlike it was with the other humans, you and Roseluck have developed a very deep, loving bond so I can understand why you would stay."

Celestia added, "She truly does mean the world to you, doesn't she?"

"She does," I replied "she does."

Both Celestia and Luna lit up their horns and Celestia said, "Alright, we shall cast the proper spell. Upon waking, you will be an Equestrian citizen with a citizenship card and everything between you and Roseluck will be real, completely real."

I asked, "So is she going to know about all this or what?"

Luna replied, "She will and that is what will cause you to start making plans for your futures." She paused and then snickered, "After you two study those sex spells! After all, you'll make her all the happier if you know them!"

I replied, "Alright."

Luna and Celestia then approached me and lit up their horns, causing mine to light up as well. Soon we became encircled in a white ball of light. I knew what was going to happen and I was excited to begin my new life with Roseluck. I wasn't completely sure how it would turn out but I knew that with her by my side, it would be truly wonderful.
