Hmm, one more like. *Good*


Horacio´s mind

I appeared again in where I supposed was my, imagination. Now, instead of the blackness of the other two times I went here, there was white covering the surfaces. I got bored and, for impulse, I started walking in a random direction. I came across some furniture, four chairs around a coffee table. The distance I traveled made my Imaginary legs hurt, so I went to sit on one of the chairs.

I looked to my right to see that a mirror spawned, there I saw myself as a human. I initially thought of me being a pony as it was normal to me, but now I learned that the feeling of walking didn't change being either human or pony inside the imagination. Sitting, I made up an imaginary to-do list for tomorrow:

1.- Check on Cloud and Semper

2.- Check on preparations

3.- Find a way to get well with Rainbow Dash

4.- Party!

I stored the mental note and began walking again. I wondered in things like "How does this happen?" or "What could I do in here?". I mean, I was lucid dreaming! I came upon a large vault door, above it said "Memory banks". So I was able to see my memories? Yes. Was this useful in any way? Of course! Revisiting those memories I was sure I will not forget them, or so I believed. There was the possibility that I could screw something up over there and give me permanent amnesia, even if that was possible, how could I even get past the vault door?

I kept walking until I had an Idea. I wanted to know if I could change my surroundings. I thought of a car, any of the lots of cars I have seen could be spawned there. The one who decided to appear was a Subaru, an Impreza WRX STI 2007, more exactly. This car was of my favorites, my father got one and tuned it slightly as a past time. That car made me happy, I clearly don´t know why.

It was black, with a body kit wider than the stock one, I was tuned to the point it got to 500 hp.

I went to the pilot´s seat and started the engine. I did not have that much time driving, part of it was that the basic needs could be easily arrived by foot, but I learned to a reasonable level.

I put on first gear and released the hand brake. Then I pressed slightly the gas pedal, the motor purring. With the car slowing accelerating, I imagined a city. Tall buildings piercing the sky, traffic everywhere, it felt like a good place to drive, my idea had a turn. Knowing it was just a dream, I pressed the gas pedal hard and began running through the city.


Twilight´s POV

A chill wind woke me up. It was like only an hour since we slept. I had to take Spike and Horacio inside so nopony had a cold. Spike was really easy to move to his basket, Horacio, on the contrary, was a total challenge. I levitated an Ursa Minor, but he felt way heavier. I don´t know what made me get difficulties levitating him to his bed, but i made it, that is what counts.

Sleepier than ever, I went to my bed. Taking a last look to Horacio, my mind had an idea.

[Flashback]

While we were practicing the spells, my sight took glance to a mind-reading spell. It did not seem too complicated and decided to learn it.

[Reality]

I silently moved to his bed. Getting beside him, and finding a comfortable position, I started to put up the spell, but I got distracted when I got moved. Looking better what happened, I saw that Horacio was hugging me. I blushed a little, maybe was a reflex or something, I don´t know. I shifted a little and began with the spell again.

As I entered his mind, I only saw white. Then, I appeared in a strange room, it had grey walls and was filled with what looked like metal carriages with the inscription "POLICE" on them. A voice resonated in the room, "Attention officers, we got a runner loose on the city, dispatching units 358 to 501" it said.

"Hey" a much closer voice said, taking me by surprise. I jumped and turned to look at who called me, it was a human. By the looks it could tell that was a male, he was wearing a dark blue outfit. "Get ready, it is your turn to go!" he said. "Your car is over there!" he pointed to one of the ´cars´, the color scheme on this one was slightly different from the others. Even though I didn´t know what was happening, I complied and entered the vehicle. Its interior was very complicated, a round object right infront of me, pedals at my hind hooves, two levers at my right, also a countless amount of buttons, but I felt I knew how to use everything.

There was something attached to the side of the round thing. It took it and turned it, there was a loud noise that settled down. My mind registered this as "Starting the engine", thing I didn´t even understand.

"Unit 501" a voice sounded by the radio, seriously, how did I know what everything here was called? Anyway, the voice continued "There is a runner going through 5th St and you have to take him down, understood?"

I grabbed the transmitter by magic, pressed the button and said "Understood"

I began accelerating until I got out of the room. Still confused on how did I managed to do that, a loud 'whoosh' and something quickly passing at my side brought back my senses.

"Unit 501, that was the runner, stop him!" the radio cracked again.

I pressed the pedal as hard as I could and got into the pursuit. Thoughts made their way to my head:

First, Who is the runner?

Second...

What the hay is Horacio dreaming?[/i


Surprise! I am NOT dead, for now.

Sorry for taking so long on bringing this chapter up, school being a bitch and that jazz.

If I am lucky enough, the day after tomorrow the next chapter will come up!
